ZD --H J ) In the good old days the sextou aunounc cd a death in the community by a stroke on the church bell for every year of I the life that was gone. People expected, then, to live to old age, and speculation at the iirst tap of the bell took a narrow range including only those who had lived the al lotted time. There is no rea son why people should net have the same expectancy of age to-day, except for the neglect and abuse of the one organ on which all the other organs depend the stomach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery enables men and women to be strong and healthy, by curing diseases of the stomach (and other or pins of digestion and nutri tion j, which prevent the proper nourishment of the body.

Pee bles, of Lucknow. S. C. "Was induced by my husband to consult Dr. Pierce by letter. You advised ' me to take 'Golden Medical Discov ery ' and ' Favorite Pre scription,' which I did, uud, to my great sur prise, after taking six bottles I was cured."

As a general rule public sentiment seems to be against the placing of a man in jail because he bets money upon the turn of a card and no agitation seems likely to be made against the daring gamblers who are taking a chance of going to the pen itentiary by opening up their house?. The ood Old Oregon. "Washington, Jan. 7. Rear-Admiral Y.yan?, Commonder in-Chief of the Asiatic fleet, who recently made a cruise Iroiv, Yokohama to Honolulu, says trie -cniiser squadron, which made 12V knotp, was obliged to drop the collier, 'bent u so it was deficient in speed, and that the battleships could have in creased the speed a knot or a knot and a iialf. As to the performance of the 'battleships under trying conditions of xveather in the great Pacific swells, the Admiral has this to say : "Heavy swells with practically no vvind, cnntintiHd from the fourth day ;jiit until ti vt third d y before aiming at Slonolnlu, --uut I d.jtiht whether at any r!in'.' duiing mv excellence of 42 ye rs 3 have seen swe'is o uniformly hih as va experienced. I estimate that the liiei :ht fi;n the crfst lo hollow of the waves fori about three rbivs f this run, ranged as high as .'10 feet, and the gen eral average height of the swells would be ut lrast 20 fet t. The behnvior of the battleships during this weather was par ticularly good and their speed practic ally not at ail hampered. The Oregon, considering her age and design, acted particularly well throughout the., pas sage, lhiring the entire trip the en gines of none of the three battleships was stopped except for about 30 miles during the ceremoney attendant on the xmrial of one of the crew of the Wis eonsiu. Secretary Moody complimented the officers and the men of the fleet on the success of the trip New filiform For Army. Berlin, Jan. ".Since Emperor Wil! iam saw Genera's Corbin, Young and Wood in their new uniforms at the (ier man Army maneuvers in September 1902, the army clothmakers of this country have been experimenting with similar shades and have produced a blend between straw color and ligh olive green, which will presently be substituted for dark blue throughout the army as the uniforms of privates and noncommissioned ollicers. 1 tie cloth has been tested tor ft venr under service conditions, for wear and cleanliness. It ws found in the last Summer maneuvers that the new uni forms were scarcely distinguishable at a distance from dry stubble or grass. It will be three or four years before the present uniforms entirely disappear, a8 the government has upwards of 3,000, 000 old uniforms in stock, though the greater part of these have seen seryice. The German government is the largest ready made clothes manufact urer in the world, turning out 600,000 to 800,000 uniforms a year, the exact nurn ber depending on the weather. ;nmlilin: In Washington. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 7. In spite of (the fact that the last Legislature passed : law making gambling in Washington :i felony, faro bank is being dealt more -or less openly in at least two gambling -houses in this city, while innumerable black jacfc games have been opened. Ibe passage cf the felony law, which Tas confidently expected to end gamb ling for all time, had the immediate ef t'ect of causing an exodus of the gamb ling fraternity to other fields where the restrictions and penalties were less se vere. The revival ot open gambling here, made possible by public indifference, f:i.8 found the proprietors of the houses without a sufficient number of dealers to handle the games. Orders and trans piortation Lave been hurriedly pent to tjt.eir old time employes, and every train 18 bringing back members of the sport ing fraternity to fill tire vacant places at .';e gambling tables.

Alexan der, of Gallatin, handed down an opinion in an interesting land case from the forks of the river which he has had un der advisement since last July and which involved the title to 1(10 acres of very pood land. The facts are about these : "Away back in 1S51, James Austin leeded this land to Cynthia Clark, for and during her natural life, remainder in fee fo M e heir'nNf her body. This mens, so the court holds, that Cynthia C'ark was to have the land as long an she lived, and, then, it va to go fo her hildren. Afterwards, in 1SG5, Cynthia Claik sold her interest in this land 'o William 13. Tabor. "Then, Cynthia Clark. whose husband had died leaving her and her children surviving him, went with her children to the Pacific Slope. They crossed the plains and winded around the moun tains with an ox team. "Cynthia Clark lived until September of last year, dying at Heppnpr, Oregon. "Then her children and grandchildren at once returned to Missouri, and claimed this land. They claim it by reason of the deed from James Austin. It seems that the heirs of Cynthia Clark had safely kept all ancient documents pertaining to the land, with a view of claiming it at their mother's death. The heirs of Cynthia Clark claim that thev believed that those occupying thj land were occupying it only as life tenants under Cynthia Clark. "Cut, however that may be, it seems that Mr. Tabor to whom Cynthia Clark had conveyed her life estate, made an additional claim to the lai.d. In 1809, Mr. Tabor instituted a court proceeding in which he sought to secure to himnelf the absolute title to the land, and, to exclude the claim of the Claik heirs. "Thos who occupy the land claim that the proceeding thus instituted by Mr. Tabor i a leeal one. It is these conflicting claims that Jadtre Alexander decided. The Claik heirs claimed eiht tenths of the land, there being ten of the heirs and two of them hay ing Bold their interests in it.
