NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
People who Bpend money in
newspaper advertising find that it
paya to invest in that way. The
largest advertisers will invariably
be found among the most success
ful business men as anyone can
perceive by consulting the adver
tising columns of the daily news
papers. For, it is in the news
papers that the best results are
obtained by advertisers. This fact
has often been brought out by the
experience of advertising agents
of the railway companies who
recently expressed their con
viction that the most valuable
advertising medium is the news
paper. The Fourth Estate com
ments on this expression as
follows:
When the railroad advertising
agents met in Chicago the other
day and deliberately declared as
the result of their experience that
the newspaper was the best
medium for advertising they sim
ply voiced the opinion of thou
sands of business men all over the
world.
And yet not a day passes that
some new form of publicity is not
brought to the attention of the
public. Some of these have merit
and acomplish their purpose, but
they are few in number and of
only temporary worth. Nine-
tenths of these advertising schemes
are absolutely worthless, and the
only persons who get a dollar out
of them are the originators who
are smart enough to catch cus
tomers.
The reasons why the newspapers
are the best mediums for reaching
the people and securing business
is that they come into closer touch
with tho public than any other
kind of publications.
When a man takes up his favor
ito paper to find out what is going
ou in tho great busy world about
him ho cannot avoid seeing the
ndvertistneuts contained in it,
Whether ho noods any of the
articles advortisod or not he is im-
prossoil by the announcements
ami re mo rubers them.
Tho railway advertising agents
have realized that no other form
of nd vet Using receives as genera!
circulation or attracts as much
attention as newspaper advertise
ments. This is because neatly
everybody reads the newspapers
and because people who want in
formation concoruing stores, rail
ways, thoators, etc., are likely to
consult the newspapers. The
newspapers are their most handy
business directory and the adver
tiser who realizes this fact is sure
to profit by it. Spokane Review.
While Admiral Dewey is an ex
tremely modest man, he has no
mock modesty, llaving decided
to aocept the home for which
money has been donated, he told
the committoe in charge of the
fuud, that he preferred they
buy a houso, aud furnish it com
plete, so that he could just walk in
and hang up his hat, because he
would like to utilize it this winter,
in entertaining his friends; he also
gave the committee very explicit
directions as to where he wished
tho house to be located. Before
leaving Washington for New Eng
land, Admiral Dewey aocopted an
invitation to go to Atlanta, Ga.,
about Nov. 1st, aud re-engaged
quarters at the family hotol iu
which he livod when last iu the
city, which he will occupy when
he returns, until the committee
buys him a house. The Admiral
expects to be in Washington when
President McKinley returns,
which is likely to be about the
20th iiiBt.
The only thiug that could poe.
hibly cause this government to
odor to mediate botweon Great
Britian and tho Transvaal repub
lic, would bo for tho former gov
ei nmont to join in the request al
ready indirectly made by the lat
ter. The government will
miiiutaiu a strict neutrality. In
notifying tho government of the
Transvaal republic that the Uuited
StatoB could uot recognize General
Jainetj O'Bi'irue, of Now York, as
its diplomatic) representative, tho
department of state simply follow
owed a rule as old as our govern
ment, not to allow an Americau
citifu to diplomatically represent
a foreign country at Washington.
This rule was emphasized by the
secretary of state as early aa when
that portfolio was held by Thomas
Jefferson, and latter by Secretaries
Fish aud Evarts. Gen. O'Beirne
is now in Washington. He bas
been received at the department
of state, but simply as any other
American citizen would be receiv
ed, not as the diplomatic repre
sentative of the Transvaal repub
lic. Ex-Secretary Sherman said
of the suggested mediation of the
United States: "I do not think
the United States ought to seek in
any way to interfere. We are too
far away, and we should not in
volve ourselves in a controversey
that might lead to war," and re
presentative Burton, of Ohio, said
on the same subject: "I think it
would be a very serious mistake
for this government to offer media
tion under existing circumstances."
M0BR0W COUNTY STILL AHEAD.
Mountain Valley Short Horn Take the Lead
Recent Winnings Hake Them tbe
Pioneer Herd of the Northwest.
Ic a reoeot isene we gave the winnings

for the Morrow county Short Horns.
SHOT AND KIliLttU.
Henry Overholt Killed at Monument by
Frank Bowman.
From Mr. 11. A. Murphy, tbe Monu
ment merobant, we obtained the follow
lug: lesteruay several young men
oougregated at be store inspecting and
targeting rill s, wheu Henry Overboil
came in challenging them to shoot witb
him at the targets, he taking a revolver
from hie pooket. Frank Bowman re
sponded by pioklug up a 22 calibre ritle
wbiuh he had jnst pat down unloaded,
as be supposed after throwing back tbe
lever, and bauteringly tbey pointed their
guns at each other, and Frank's guu on
touching the trigger weut off with a re
pott the bullet entering the shoulder of
Overholt. The doctor was summoned at
onue aud admiuieteriug an auestbetio
probed tor the bullet and decided that
tbe wound was of no serious oonse
quenoe, but the shock to tbe system waa
such that Mr. Overholt never regained
ooneoience and expired. Before the
operatiou be exonerated Mr, Bowman
from nay intent to injure hiin and at
tributed it entirely to an aooident.
Both paities are wvll known in Heppner.

Gilliam k Bittbee have on exhibition a
Manner ritle, of which we have beard so
much. The Baiter Republican speak
of them thus: The Mauser ritle to be
used by the B era against the Kigliah is
the same weapon the Filipino iusurgents
inwd ai:ai08t the American volunteers.
It ia one of the bst magazine rittes
made, aud baa even a smaller caliber
than the Krug-JnrgMnsen ued by oar
regular army. The ammamtiou is the
beet quality of German atnokless
powder. Agaiust this our voltinteera
were pitted with the old fashioned,
eui:le tiled lire large calibre Hpriiigtield,
with ouly about halt the range of the
Mauser, aud witb a black powdered
auiiuauitiou, which male a oloud of
smoke easily seen by tbe enemy, and
which olmoured tbe vision of our own
meu. Iu his lecture Captain Wells
showed piotures of volunteer fighting
with this superior arojued enemy and
driving them from heavy lotreoohuieote,
BE MEBELV DIDN'T THINK.
Used to let hi poor old mother go and carry
in the wood;
She waa Just a packliorse (er him, but he never
understood :
Never thought of brlngln' water from the
spring down by the lane;
Or of helpin' her to gather in the clos' before
the rain;
Let her keep a-waitin' on him, though her back
was achln' so
Twasan't cause he didn't love her he just
didn't think, you know.
Then he went away and married left her livln'
there alone-
Course his wife she didn't want her she had
people of her own
Aud he carried in the kindlin' and he built
the fires, too;
And, to tell the truth, I dunno what there was
he didn't do-
Had to hustle, now, I tell you ! Got to thlnkln,'
too, at last,
That he might have been a little mite more
thoughtful in the past.
After while the weary mother put her burdens
all away,
And we went and heard the preacher praise
the poor old soul one day,
And 1 stood and looked down at her when
they pushed the lid aside-
Poor old bands I didn't "wonder that her boy
sat there and cried
Just as if he couldn't stand it juit as If his
heart'd break-
He had kind of got to seein' what she'd suffered
fer his sake.
There's a lot of kinds of slnniu' that the good
book tells about
81ns concernln' which a body needn't ever be
In doubt,
But there's one sin that I reckon many a man
who doesn't think
Will be held to strict account fer when he goes
acrost the brink
For the wrong that's done a person by an
other's want of thought
Hurts as much as though the injured was the
victim of a plot!
