Mankind need! a herald, like the herald of old, to pro- claim so that may hear, the vital importance of health. The aver age man of to-day thinks it beneath his difrnlty to bother about 1 la health until it is gone. Even then he only takes measures to restore it in an in different, contemptu ous sort of way. Men cannot learn - too soon that health fm is tne mo import ant iniDK in urc in fact, is life. Without it the most brilliant man will be a failure, and the most robust man will rapidly be come a physical wreck. The man who neglects the little headaches, the Ions of appetite and sleep, nervousness, hot flush ings, cold chills, heavy head, lax muscles, and the multitude of bad feelings that are the heralds of approaching sickness and disease, must pay a tremendous penalty. For men who suffer in this way there is no medicine equal to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It sharpens the ap petite, corrects all disorders of the diges tion, invigorates the liver, makes the as similation of the food perfect, purifies the blood and enriches it with the life-giving elements that build new, healthy flesh. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of con sumption and is the best of all known remedies for nervous troubles. Thousands have told, over their own signatures, the stories of the wonders it has performed. Honest dealers will not urge a substitute for the sake of a little extra profit. Thomas Fletcher, of Clifton Station, Fairfax Co., Va., writes: "I suffered terrible tortures for ten years with ' gastralgia ' (pain In the stomach). I then took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which completely cured ra." When the bowels are regular the body will feel good and the mind will be active. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con stipation." One little "Pellet" is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. They never gripe. All good dealers sell them and have nothing else "just as good." AT T1IK COURT HOUSE. Judge A. G. Bartholomew beld pro bate court March 17 and 19. Mrs. Joycey B.

EVERY XI Jl'Sk all UNEQUALLED AS A 1 pl 11 CURB FOR JjjP2- BADCOlDSjSTfe mjmmm mi m mm LAV n il f (m ri ? IIIUNLUUALHU I and CURE for CROUP J) THOUSANDS OF TREES. The person who plants trees is doing a good deed for not only himself or her self, but also for coming generations. One of trie most interesting things in life is to plant a tree with your own hands and watch it grow, and shoot bugs which attack it, and hand it down to your offsprings several springs after you have planted it. Tree-planting is now general in the Heppner Hills. There were delivered here during the past week 2000 trees raised in nurseries at The Dalles. They have been ret out in Heppner and vicinity. About 500 of these trees ara shade trees, comprising silver poplars, elm and cork elm, mountain ash and other varieties. The balance are fruit trees, the apple outvoting the others, and cords of roses are being set out. All are choice varieties, ordered regardless of the fact of their costing a little more than common goods. Trees are a welcome addition to these bald hills, but it is a mistake to set out Lombardy poplars for a permanent growth. They make a quick growth and a good showing the first few years, but after that they become ragged and need to be sent to the barber shop to get their hair cut quite often, and they die before old enough to vote. Where they are set out, long-lived trees should be mixed with tbera. ON WYOMING RANGES. A. M. Bunce, the well known sheep buyer now in Oregon, says that himself and other eheep-raisers in Wyoming have provided abundant range for stock by lease from the Union Pacific Rail road. The company owns all the odd sec tions for 20 miles on each side of its main line in Wyoming, and many of these sections tiave been rented by the year at half a cent an acre or $3.20 per section. "In fact, the rent is even cheaper than this," said Mr. Bunce, "as we thus con trol most of the even sections in the townships where we rent the odd ones. Thus our rent for grass is reduced to $1.00 per section. This now departure of leasing railroad lands for the pasture they furnish secures stockm6n in their range and obviates the necessity of sheep men and cattle men falling out about pasture, as the lessees know their boundary lines, and others are com pelled to respect them." HUH More Counterfeiting. The Seoret Service has unearthed an other band of counterfeiters and secured a large quantity ot bogus bills, wbiob are so cleverly executed that the aver age person wonld never snspeot them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for imitation, notably the celebrated Hos stetter's Stomach Bitters, whlob has many imitators but no equals for indi gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervous ness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomsoh, and when the stomnob is in good order it makes good blood and plenty ot it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat ot strength and vitality, end restore vigor to the weak and debilitated. Be ware of counterfeits when baying. IT FLOATS. Sam Swannewegal was bottoming chairs in the spring sunshine alongside the ralace hotel yesterday and swap ping stories with other men who watch over ilocks of sheep. In the coutse of tim remarks he went on to say: "In the Blue mountains last summer I enjoyed life immensely. As usual I traveled light and would not weight mv outfit down with much luggage. But I had been reading the advertisement of the soap that floats, and took along a cake. When it became necessary, I waded into Hippopotamus krick to wash my only shirt. I believed the soap would float all right, but did not know it would swim. As soon as I put it in the water, away it started down to the North fork of the John Day, and I was soapless. It may be a good thing to have it float in a pond that is fenced, but not Bo4ki running water. For moun tain krick use it were better to have it made of rox than feather-weight ivory. It sinks is best. Muffed CI nils.

How can men and women weep over an ordinary death, who go frenzied over a railway wreck or an ocean disaster, read and speak without pain of what in delib erately done every day in South Africa? Men go out in the morn ing scouting; in the evening their horses come back without them, or are seen dragging them aw ay over the hills and pluins. Shells are dropped into tents, killing half a dozen men, mangling as many more, and tearing the life out of a dozen horses. Men charge with inhuman yells up a hill, bodies are ripped to shreds and heads blown offastbey go. When they reach the top other men, rolling on their backs and begging for mercy, are jabbed to death with lances, aud it is called "excellent pig-stick-ing." Troops stealthily conceal themselves, and when their enemy is near pour murderous volleys which sweep down whole ranks, and this is called shrewdness and strategy 1 An attempt is made to cross a river, and dead and wound ed are heaped up in bloody, writh ing piles and rows by the terrifio rifle and rapid-gun fire.
