HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or oommon glass with
nrioe and let it stand tweoty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an on
healthy oondition of the kidneys. When
urioe stains linen it is evidenoe of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to uri
nate or pain in the baok, is also oonvino
ing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are oat of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in tbe knowledge eo
often expressed, that Dr. Kilter's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
folflls every wish in relieving pain in the
baok, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of tbe urinary passages. It oor
reots inability to bold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol
lowing use ot liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get np many times
daring tbe night to urinate. Tbe mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
root is soon realised. It stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of tbe
most distressing oases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty oents and one
dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail.
Mention the Heppner Gazette and eend
your address to Dr. Kilmer ft Co., Bing

paper guarantee tbe genuineness ot this
offer.

PBES8 COMMENT.
Is Bryan a democrat or populist? that
is the question. If both parties olaim
him be oertainly has a tremendous load
to oarry. II oannot be disputed, how
ever, that Mr. Bryan oon come as near
being both at the same time as any
other man whose name is before the
public. He oan afford to be both so
long ss each party contributes so liber
ally to his rapidly increasing bank ac
count. Oregon City Enterprise.
Tbe thought that congress oonvenes
next Monday calls attentioa to tbe faot
that Mr. H. W. Corbett's right Io a seat
in the senate will be decided either for
or against tbe appointee during the next
tew weeks. Tbe question in this case
involves a great prinoiple whioh should
settled, and settled right, onoe and
forever. The question as to whether
Mr. Corbett did or did not furnish the
sinews ot war in the bold-up last winter
gives rise to some diversity of opinion,
though it is generally believed that he
did furnish the money that paid for hold
outs at the minimum rate of 880 per
head. This in itself, if true, should for
ever prevent his oooupying a seat in the
highest legislative branch of tbe govern
ment, or any other position of trust.
But let us put aside the personal
oharaoter ot Mr. Corbett and take a
lance at the great underlying Driooiole
involved in tbe case. Mr. Corbett was
appointed immediately after tbe close ot
the legislative session upon tbe earnest
recommendations of men who bad taken
an active part in preventing an organiz
ation of the legislature and oonseqently
the eleotion of a senator, and as a direot
result of tbe greatest scandal tbe state
ever knew, in which a minority nra.
. in
vented tbe rule of the majority by tbe
most shady transaotions on reoorj. oon
eidenng all Ihe oiroumslances. Should
Mr, Corbett be seated it would establish
preoedeot whereby 11 men in tbe sen
ate or 21 fin the house oould at any
time defeat the will of the majority and
by conniving with tbe governor, who has
the appointing power, prevent an elec
tion and seoure the appointment of any
man Ihey might agree upon for senator.
It would be virtually saying to tbs gov
ernor and one mora than nna-thirdnf
either house that in you Is vested the
authority to seleot whom yoa please for
that high offloe, and tbe opportunity
might be taken advantage of at any ses
sion of tbe legis'ative assembly. It
would establish a prscsdsnt that would
forever be a menaoe to good government
and pave tbe way for biennial repetitions
of the soenes of last winter at Salem.
The great principle involved in the
Corbett esse means much to Oreiron and
the sooner the stamp ot eoodemalion ia
plsosd upon suob methods as were en
acted that be should be appointed sen
ator, the sooner the stenob oast over
Ibis greet State bv those nrncaadlnaa
will bs removed. We believe tbe people
ot tbe state, with the exoeption of a
very few, bave bad enough of tbe hold
up, and tbe failure to seal Mr. Gerbett
would go a long way in preventing snob
oondoot oo tbe pert of unsoropnlons and
dishonest legist store.-Oregon City En

with tbe showing made. This report is
Interesting from the faot that it shows
