The highly organized, I ,11 fcjk finely-strung nervous (J'j Wli system of women sub- '"' lv j'ects them to terrors of nervous apprehen sion which no man can ever appreciate. The peace of mind, the mental poise and calmness under difficulties, which is neces sary for happy womanhood is only possible when the sensitive feminine organism is in a perfectly healthy condition. If there be any weakness or derangement in this re spect no remedy in the world so com pletely restores womanly health, nervous vigor and capability as the wonderful "Favorite Prescription" invented by Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. V. It purifies, heals and strengthens; insures functional regularity; provides physical reinforcement and sus taining power at periods of special weak ness and depression. It is the only medicine which makes the coming of baby safe and comparatively easy.- In a personal letter to Dr. Pierce, Mrs. Marguerite Collin, of Cutler, Algoma Co., Ont, says: "I was a sufferer and was cured by Dr. Pierce's wonderful medicine. When I com menced the medicine I could neither eat nor sleep. My hands and feet were constantly cotd; I had a wnsting, troublesome drain for three months, 'Vid my monthly periods were never regular. I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion and it cured me. I feel well. I thank the World's Dispensary Medical Association." KIITURU FOKECASTS. A Well-known Railroad Man Tackles a Fortune- Teller. Everybody knows Billy Mead, the railroad niBgnnte and maDAgirjg editor of the Northwestern. When be was in Heppner this week be bud the usual number of good stories to tell, one of which whh something like this: "Portland ia a progressive place, and now baa its modern fakes like cities in tba east. I recently oalled on one of its fair fortune tellers, and ebe looked into the far future for me. She said: "'I see you lolling in your private pHlitoe oar as president hdiI board of directors of the Siberian, Saskatchewan, Astoria, St. Petersburg and elsewhere railroad, smoking a oigur that has never been used before. Your personal profits on the road are $.rj a minute and you are giving your salary to the porter.' "I knew she wits lying, for she had ber eyes cloned when she said ebe was seeing all this. lint I let ber so on, and started a brisk conversation with ber as follows. " 'Does this horoscope whiob yon are usiug this season give you any idea as to whether money matters will be scarce with mo next week or otherwise, and if so what I hud better do about it?' " 'Toward the last of the week you will experience considerable monetary prostration, but just as you bave become despondent, at the very tail end of the week, the horizon will 'clear up and a flight, dark uentlemaii, with wide trous eifl, who is a total stranger to you, will loan you quite a sum of money, with the understanding that it is to be repaid on Monday,' " Then you would not advise me to allay my spring fever by making a trip to Yaiiuina bay V' " 'Certainly not.' " 'Would it be etiquette in dancing a quadrille to swing a young person of the opposite sex twice around at a select party when you are but slightly ac quainted, but feel quite confident that ber partner is unarmed?'

Tbe entire absence of winter this winter bas caused Easter to threaten to oome on ahead of time, and spring styles in female fixings are already arriving. Snd to say, many sweet little birds have been slaughtered to ornament spring hats, but this year that may be avoided, and still the new spring style in bonnets is just too sweet for anything. It is made out of some kind of stuff, sort of a delicate texture and of a rather lightish color, kind of cutaway on tbe side and rolled back on top, and scooped out underneath, and trimmed with some sort of ribbon stuff that looks nice, and some kind of other material that is handsome, and is all fixed on that kind of way which looks so much like something yon can't remember, and the whole ffoot is very exquisite, reminding yoo of a most beautiful something or other whose name you osn't just at pres ent oall to mind. Coyote Skins. Persons who are employed in killing coyotes for the bounty on the soalps will be pleuaed to learo that at the reoetit fur sales in London tba ooyote and wild out skius brought considerably higher prices than usual. When a man can get a good price for tbe skin of the ooyote, it is bound to make trouble for theonyotes, aud if tbe pnoe for skins a ud soalps keeps up, the coyote will be exterminated. Everything is supposed to plav some useful part in tbe economy of nature, but just where tbe ooyote comes in as useful do one bas ever dis covered. In the matter of keeping down the jack rabbits and rattlesnakes, tbe ooyote may be entitled to a few oredit marks, but bis depredations among tbe lambs and poultry of settlers cause them la forget this.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter, published at Boston Feb 8, says: All the developments of the situation seem to favor the view adopted by us some weeks ago that the height of the movement in wool quotations has been reached, and that the market it henceforth far more likely to display a falling, rather than a rising, tendency. 1'he supposition of a fall in prices was Inevitable when the last series of Loudon sales opened. The facts in connection with those sales h'ive generally been minimized, but there can be no doubt that the situation was viewed by every one in interest as critical. Indeed, It is not too much to say that the situation was hardly short of a panic for a time. Nobody appeared to anticipate a decline from the December quotations, and when tbe January sales opened 710 per cent oil, there was a scramble to withdraw wool from the catalogue. The with drawal of a very heavy quantity caused a steadying tendency, though there was actually no quotable Improvement. The staging ol the decline was all that was accomplished. The trade In London have striven very hard to keep their courage up, and are now claiming that the position of ..the market will right itself in time, but it is easy to perceive that they are not as sure of the future as they strive to appear. It looks very much to us as if the check re ceived In the wool market at the January sales in London was analogous to that received by the stock market in this country last April. That was believed by nearly everybody at the time to be merely temporary, but, as a matter of fact, It was the initiation of a drop in prices which went on quite steadily to the end of the year, and which may not even yet have come to an end. We may be mistaken In supposing that flue wools bave seen their best prices, but we must confess that to all outward appear ances the market acts as if It was now facing the inevitable reaction from a period of over speculation. a We have already hinted at what might have occurred had not nearly 60 000 bales of wool been withheld from the January London sules. This wool now goes over to the March sales, when, it Is estimated, there will be total oiter ings of 200,000 bales. This compares with 179,- 000 bales in March, 1899, aud 1b. on the whole, a heavy total, when we take Into account the largor purchases of wool by consumers direct In Australia this season. But if a net total avail able supply In London of 144,000 bales in Janu ary precipitated a break of 710 per cent In fine wools, what are likely to be the consequences of an offering of 200,000 bales in March? In short, is it not conceivable that the inevitable was staved oft'ln January only to be realized later on ? The significance of the January sales will best appear If we tabulate the results, which we do by the aid of figures received this week: 190(1, 1899 Balet, Bales. Brought over from December 4,(X0 20,000 Net imports for the series 110,000 105,000 Total available Total sold 144,(fi0 1K5,000 87,000 105,000 Carried over 67,000 23,000 The statistical position of fine wool had been considered exceptionally strong, on the strength of which fact a great deal of speculation sprang up. The only conclusion that Is warranted is. that the price bas reached a prohibitive figure; that Is, that It has exceeded the purchasing power of the consuming public. Once this fact is demonstrated, it Is conceivable that wool will be offered In quantities that will be likely to put prices on a lower level thau the present. Comparatively large quantities of wool have probably been held for top prices, and a heavy liquidating movement is, therefore, among the possiumucs. McClures's Magazine. The February McCIure's opens with a second instalment of "The Life of the Master" by the Rev. John Watson (Ian Maclareu), illustrated with four of Mr. Linson's brilliant paintings, reproduced in the colors of the originals, and a number of beautiful drawings in bluck and white. In both text ana illustra tions, the woiK increases in intetest and distinction as it progresses, and more and more decisively sets a new standard ia magazine publication. Tbe fiction of the number includes a story of mining life, a yatvhing and love story of the Georgia coast, a story of Kngliali prison lite, and a railroad story ab original in incident and interest ingly illustrated. Tbe claim of ot'ier cough medicines to be as good as Coamberlaiu's are tffectu ally set At rest in tbe following testi monial of Mr. 0. D Glass, an employe of Bartlett & Dennis Co., Gardiner. Me. He says: "I bad kept addtni? to a onld and cough in the winter of 1897, trying every oou'b medioine I beard of wi:bout per inanent brill, until ooe day I was in tbe drug store of Mr. Hoalebna and be ad vised me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and offered to pay baok my money if I was not onred. My longs and bronchial tubes were very sore at this time, but I was completely onred by this remedy, and bave sines always turned to it wbeo I got a oold, and soon find relief. I also reoommend it to my friends and am glad to say it is the best of all oongh medioinee." For sale by Oonser A Warren. Warren. GItAN I' COUNTY NEWS.

Charley Tlmms, who has a good mine, or prospect, on Canyon mountain, says his claim is an extension of the Great Northern, and that he expects great results. He ia doing good development work and is deserving of success. At tbe special school meeting held at John Day a tax of 10 mills was levied on the assess able property, whose valuation is 150,000. The output of the Bed Boy mine at Granite for the past year baa been between $-'5,000 and $30,000 a month, a large per cent of which has been put in circulation iu wages and expenses of operating.
