Even a small amount of money in constant circulation may cancel many obligations, or serve to give honest employ mentto willing work men. What helps one man is likely to help another; and he who pays his debts does more towards liquidating the debts ot other men than ho will be likely to imagine. ,The following incident, founded on a real occurence, illustrates our meaning. A. owed fifteen- dollars to B. B. owed twenty dollars to C. C. owed fifteen dollars to D. D. owed thirty dollars to E. E. owed twelve dollars and fifty cents to F. F. owed ten dollars to A. All o the persons that these ini tials represent were seated at the same table. A.,havinga five-dollar note hand ed it to B., remarking that it paid five dollars of the fifteen (hollars he owed B. B. passed the note to C, with the remark that it paid five dollars of the twent3' dollars which he owed. (X passed it to D., and paid with it five dollars of the fifteen dollars which he owed D. D. banded it to E., in part pay merit of the thirty dollars he owed Tiim. E. gave it to F.; to apply on ac count of the -twelve dollars arid fifty cents due. him. F. passed it back to A., saying: "This pays half of (he amount I owe you." A. again passed it to B., saj'ing: "1 now only owe you five dollars." B. passed it again to C, with the remark: "This reduces my indebtedness.? to vou to ten dol lars." 0. again paid it to D., reducing his indebtedness to five dollars. D. paid it over to E., saying: "I now owe you twenty dollars." E." handed it again to F., saying: "This reduces my indebtedness to j'ou to two dollars and fifty cents." Again F. handed the.note to A., saying: "Now I don't owe you anything." A. passed it immediately to B.. thus canceling the balance of h's indebtedness. B. handed it to C, reducing h.s indebtedness to five dollars. C. canceled tho balance of his debt to D. by handing tho note to him. " w D. paid it again to E., saying: "I now owe you fifteen dollars." Then E. remarked to F.: "If you will give me two dollars and fifty cents this will settle my indebt edness to you." F. took two dollars and fifty cents from his pocket, handed it to E., and returned the five-dollar note to his pocket, and thus the spell was broken, the single five- dojlarxnoto having paid eighty-two dollar&and fifty cents,, and can celed"A.s debt to B., C.'s debt to D., E.'s debt to F., and F.'s debt to A., and at the same time hav ing reduced Bj's debt to C. from twenty dollars to five, dollars, and D.'s debt to E. from thirty dollars to fifteen dollars. In Town and Hamlet The seeds of intermittent and bilious remi tent fever germinate and bear evil fruit. No community has' altogether escaped It. In .populous wards of large cities bad sewage causes it, and in their suburbs stagnant pools in sunken lots brtfed It. There is at once a remedy and a means of prevention. Its name is Ilostetter's' Stomach Bitters, which is, -without perad venture, the most potient antidote in existence to the ma larial virus. ifortlfled with this lucompara ble, saving specific, miasmatic Influences may be encountered with absolute Im punity. Disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, begotten by mlasm-tainted water or any other cause, succumb to the beneficent corrective named, and rheumatic, kidney and bladd er troubles aro surely removable by Its use when it is given a persistent trial. Hypoorisy and cunning travel together, and they cannot get very far separately.

Senator Mitchell, of Oregon,- commented to-day on the action of the inter state commission in this wise: "The action of the commissioners in suspending the operation of the fourth section as regarding the southern railroads was entirely il legal. They have no more right to do it than I would have. The law provides what the commission may do where the conditions of a long and short haul are similar. The southern" roads put in a plea that competition with ocean water rates necessitated certain rates for long hauls, which would bo lower in proportion than short haul rates in their territory. This is not a case of similar' conditions but dissimilar ones, and tho commis sion went entirely beyond its pow er in making the suspension. Eeduced Preight Bates on Lumber. Yesterday the 0. R. & N. com pany and the Union Pacific fixed a rate of 5o cents per hundred on lumber from Portland to Denver, arid from Portland to Omaha, Kansas City, Council BlufFs, St. Joseph and other Missouri river points. This is a reduction of 9 cents a hundred -to Denver, and 5 cents to the Missouri river, from last year's rates. The rate from Chicago to Denver is the same as from Portland, and this wjll place our lumber men on an equal foot ing with the great lumber markets of the world. The new rates will be permanent, at least for this sea son, and all the saw mills in the state will no doubt find a ready market for their entire output. Orcrj07iiany 9-, Prohibition in Michigan. Detkoit, mApril 8. From all reports - received tile J&vcnina Jounal now figures the majority against prohibition at 3,G6. More complete returns in most places may cut down the prohibi tion vote. This (Yayne), county gives a majority against the amendment of 22,344, being an increase of several hundred over former reports. There is now no doubt that prohibition has been dffoated. f A -n reliable Medicines are VJv tho best to depend upon.
