The mystery of life and death has puz zled many a wise man. The alchemists of old searched in vain for some combination of drugs that would prolong life indefinite ly. Common sense, chemis try and medical science have combined in this Bare to show wan tbe way to a long and healthy life. Common sense teaches that a man should not over-work or over-worry ; that he should take ample time for his meals, for resting and for recreation and sleep; that he should not neglect the little ills of life, because they are the precursors of serious and fatal maladies. Chemistry has enabled men to make combinations of drugs that were im possible in the days of the alchemists. Medical science has taught when, how and why these combinations of drugs should be used. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is the most valuable of all health restoring medicines, and the most effective. Its first work is upon the fountain-head of life the stomach. A man who has a weak and impaired stomach and who does not pioperly digest his food will soon find that his blood has become weak and impover ished, and that his whole body is improp erly and insufficiently nourished. This medicine makes the stomach strong, facil itates the flow of digestive juices, restores the lost appetite, makes assimilation per fect, invigorates the liver and purifies and enriches the blood. It is the great blood maker, flesh-builder and nerve tonic. It makes men strong in body, active in mind and cool iu judgment. It does not make flabby fnt, but solid, muscular flesh, nerve force and vital en ergy. All medicine dealers sell it. J. W. Ionian.

From the Long Creek Eagle. Wheeler county will contain about 46 town ships or 1656 square miles. Its population is estimated at 2,500 and the taxable property at $1,000,000. ' The deer come down In large bands in the Izee neighborhood. Nobody bothers them and they are getting quite gentle. The Eagle learns that quite a number oi beef steers, three and four years old, are for sale by cattlemen on the John Pay river. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Murphy were up from Monument this week to attend the funeral of the lattcr's sister, Mrs. Geo. A. Rinehart. Edward E. Turk, of Cqttonwood, was in Long Creek last Saturday on business. He reports a number of stockmen In his locality out of feed. and with bad weather through the month of March there will be some loss of stock The death of Mrs. Ellie Rinehart, ife of O. A. Rinehart, occurred bunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the family residence in Long Creek. She had been ill about two weeks and her con dition had become quite criiical. Dr. Crockett, the attending physician, decided that a surgical operation was necessary in order to save her life. The operation was performed Thursday afternoon, and though she temporarily rallied from the effects of it, her condition began to grow more serious, and death relieved her suf fering Sunday afternoon. Pocketed Monf y Order. Pendleton Tribnne: A few days ago a yonng man appeared at the Pendleton money order window and told the post master that be bad sent fur a suit of olotbes to Chicago, and iu answer to his letter received a statement (bat tbe order bad been received but was not aooom panied by tbe money. The postmaster asked him if be had sent tbe money. He replied that be held a receipt for 1 money order he bought at that window two weeks tefore. "Let me see it," asked tbe postmaster. On handing it baok to tbe young man be said: "You seud that to tbe Cbioago bouse and you'll get yonr clothes," "But didn't you send tbe money I gave you, that tbis is trie reoeipt lorr wny should I send the receipt?" The postmaster then told him tbat tbe paper he held was tbe money order, and explained, tbat there were no receipts given. A few month ago a similar oase hap pened at the Pendleton oflioe. A debt was due, and tbe oreditor urgent for his money. A man was sent to town by the debtor to send tbe money by a money order. The fellow paid tbe money into the postoffioe, and put the "receipt" in bis pocket. His employer soon reoeived a scorobing letter for not remitting. He asked tbe man wbo bought tbe money order about it, and was surprised by be ing shown tbe "receipt." Klparla to Lewlston. Tbe new steamboat Spokane, bnilt by the O. R. & N.

Scrub stock are not always due to ill breeding. Tbe beet strain of cattle put into some people's bands would in a few years become exoeedingly "scrubby" ia character. Why? Because these people do not understand bow to feed oattle properly. It bas been well eaid tbat "feed is half tbe breed." This ia not merely an old saying, bnt a sound truth And today tbe scrub steer found in tbe oountry is due as muoh to bad feeding as to bad breeding. It must be remem bered, however, that the better the breeding tbe belter the stook providiu good feeding and good care are forth oomiog. And though a sorub steer by system of good feeding may improve and become a passable animal it is only by good feeding and kood breeding com bined tbat tbe very highest type ot anl mal oan be produoed and this is the kind tbat every farmer should aim to prodnoe. There is no excuse in these days of improved methods for sorub stook of any kind whether bred or made so by oareleasness. Farming. Millions Given Away.
