BABY'S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN
A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
" At the age of two months, my baby
began to have Bores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of . bis face. We consulted a physi
cian and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, I began giving him
Hood's Sarsaparilla. I also took Hood's
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." Mbs. S. S. Wboten, Farming

Geo, SwBggart returned from Walla
Walla Tuesday night, where be went to
inquire into tbe oondition of Ppd Hwsg
gart, who was reported very low from
tbe vicious attsok of a man t that plaoe.
He brought bis brother to Weston, where
his family is stopping, much improved,
Mr. Swaggart found tbe oitizens of
Walla Walla very indignant over the
unfair misrepresentation in the article
published in tbe Union relative to tbe
case.
C. W. Molly is tbe name of a bright
young man from tbe interior who met
tbe Idol of bis heart on Friday night's
train at tbe junction. She was direct
from "way down tbar in Missouri," and
was a fine specimen of a genuine Ameri
can girl, with pluok enough to help
make a stake in this favored bunob-grass
oountry. Rev. Shelley pronounced them
man and wife as soon as they had
shaken off tbe dust of travel. They are
the kind of young people we need in this
oountry.
Simons & Son, tbe pioneer black
smiths, are up to the times in securing a

Pap Simons has been a long time in the
business and selected this maobine after
a thorough personal investigation, and
upon reoommeodation of tbe leading
wagon makers of America, who have
substituted all other maobines with it.
He finds it as it is guaranteed, tbe latest
and best development of its kind.
Add Matteson and Yern Barton made

found them well patronized by Pendle
ton and Portland people, besides those
from local seotions of the oountry. Con
spioious were the beautiful young ladies,
and, as tbe boys express it "Moot Natter
and Otis Welob, were in tbeir element,
as contented as "ooods" in a water
melon patob." While Moot shines eaoh
night by tbe light of tbe moon on tbe
dancing platform, Otis bies away to tbe
vine-olad retreats with tbe "bell of tbe
ball " SLe is witty and pretty, and tbe
swell boys bsve turned green with eovy,
while Otis simply "smiles- tbat same old
smile." They report having passed Leo
Matteson, Jim Hart,. Frank Borg, Tom
Buckley and Bu Id Sperry, . along the
line, testing tbe endnrance of th'ir
mustangs in tbeir endeavor to get to the
eprmgs first. Tbey are all ladies' men,
and the resolts at tbis fashionable re

hearts and hands later on.

HEPPNER'S DEFENSE
The Outgrowth of our Small
pox Announcement.
In just ice to onr adjoining neighbors,
upon tbe diagnosis by two of onr looal
dootors of three oases of smallpox in our
town, tbe Gazette courageously an
nounced the same, also oiting to tbe
careful quarantine of every one snspi
cioned of exposure. Tbe Dalles, Pen
dleton, Portland and Grant county
papers peid ns tbe consideration due
them, under a like oondition, by quoting
the Gazette truthfully in tbe matter.
Ab a precaution Dr. N. G. Blalock, of
Walla Walla, was sent for in good faith
by conservative business men.- His
verification of onr doctors' diagnosis
was aooepted by tbe msjority on tbe
three esses be visited. His assurance
that we had noted wisely in taking every
precaution to stop its spread by quar
antining, and his release of severa
families neighboring tbe efHioted was
not questioned. His interview with tbe
Gazette was published as he gave it to
us, the town's feare . were allayed,
and business assumed its normal con-l
dition. On bis arrival at Walla Walla
tbe Union, of July 27th, published the
following:
BHALLFOX ATHEFPNEK.
Dr. Blalock Finds Eight Weil Developed
Cases There.
Dr. N. G. Blalook returned yesterday
from Heppner, Or., where he went to
settle a dispute. For some time in that
oi'.y there have been several oases of
smallpox and it is over these a row start
ed acd waxed warm, some claiming tbat
the patients bad smallpox and others
olaiming tbe oontrary. At length tbe
matter was referred to Dr. Blalook and
be went to Heppner and after an exam
ination pronounoed tbe sick persons
suffering with well developed smallpox.
All bauds were satisfied acd a quaran
tine was instituted at onoe. Previous to
Dr. Blalock's deoision the town of lone
quarantined against Heppner, causing
some bitter feeling between those cities.
Dr. Blalook saw two or three oases and
it is understood tbat there are about
eight cases in that vioinity, some of the
persons suffering with tbe disease being
10 a oritioal condition. One man, un
oonBoious thct be bad smallpox, bad
been piokiog the soabs off his faoe, and
be will be badly pitted as a result. A
large number of people bave been ex
posed to the disease in -and about Hepp
ner and it is feared' many other oases
may develop.
Tbe result of the above, crediting the
doctor with having found "eight well
developed oases," and tbe claim tbat be
placed a quarantine, when tbe faots are
tbat be released a majority of tbe quar
antine already instituted by our dootors;
tbe assertion that "one man, unconsoious
that be bad tbe smallpox and bad been
piokiog off tbe soabs" (wbioh was Mr.
8hutt), when the faots are that in bis
early stages bis two dootors positively
announoed that his case was smallpox,
aad were guarding him at the time, and
its conclusion was that "a number of
people bave been exposed to tbe disease
in and about Heppner and it is feared
many cases will develop," are in snob
varienoe with bis action and advioe
here tbat it has bad a tendency to cause
distrust of him, and beyond any question
has worked an injury to the business
interest of our town. It tbe fault was
with the reporter of tbe Union, it was
becoming tbe doctor to have corrected
it.
Our next grievance is with tbe lone
Post. Ia its issue of July 28th it comes
put with an artiole startling that portion
of the oounty with tbe announcement of
smallpox in Heppner acd " no quaran
tine," besides, apparently, inferring tbat
tbe published reports did not bear oat
oar having smallpox here, and lays
stress on private letters, "with no reason
for misrepresenting," furnishing lone
with its information. Tbe misohief of
such journalism works an injury to the
community in wbiob it is published. It
would bave been far more oreditsble to
that paper to have clipped tbe straight
forward announcement of tbe diagnosis
of our physicians, a report of the strict
quarantine, and our assurances to tbe
people of the oonoty.
Tbe smallpox situation here, as we go
to press, is tbat tbe Driskell family have
removed to tbeir ranob, with no other
cases developed outside tbe family. Mr.
Sbatt is convalescent, and tbe members
of bis household three women and two
children show no symptoms of the con
tagion, and tbe fears of tbe oommonity
are at rest. No negligence of precau
tions will be allowed. All farmers oom
iog to town are familiarizing themselves
with tbe true situation, and returning
to tbeir homes, branding tbe outrageous
reports and tbe nureasonable snare in
tbe country the work of the agents of
Satan.

A boy was oompelled by bis teaober
to write an essay "on tbe mouth," and
tbis is what lie wrote: The mouth is tbe
trout door to tbe face; it's the aperture
of the oold storage of your anatomy.
Borne mouths look like penubes and
oreHm; some look like a bole in a brick
wall to admit a door or window. Tbe
month is a orimson isle to yonr liver; it
