Not only the larger air-passages, but the thousands of little tubes and cavities leading from them. . When tbese are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do they can not do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumo nia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is gust one sure way to get rid of them. That is to take Boscheo's German Syrup, which any druggist will sell yon at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you, yon may depend upon this for certain. Incoming Passengers. The Columbia is due from SanFrancisco this morning with tbe following pas sengers: Mrs. Horlon. M.

Elliott, of Hamilton, Ohio, special United States swamp laud agent, aud Charles L.Bichmond, agent for the state of Oregon, arrived in the city yesterday, says the News of tho 24th. They aro examining land claimed as swamp land by the states, to ascer tain its true character. Thoir ap pointment was brought about by an agreement between the state, secreta ry of the interior Lamar and the com missioner of the general land office at Washington. Gov. Pennoyer's sup plemental message to the legislature last winter, showing up the swamp land business, started the ball rolling. Gov. Pennoyer is also credited with having acquainted the interior de partment with details similar to those contained in his supplemental mes sage, thus securing its co-operation. Messrs. Elliott and Bichmond com menced work at The Dalles, their headquarters in May last, and since then have made a tour of eastern Or egon. They traveled 4,600 milea in a private canveyance. "Did you find all the land claimed as swamp land to be such?" asked a News reporter of Colonel Elliott yes terday afternoon. "Not 15 per cent of it is swamp laud." "That sho;va that somebody has been getting the best of the state, does it not?' "You may draw your own infer ence." "How did you find the land at Yaquina?" "About 15 per cent, of that claimed ns swamp land ia actually such." "Where do you go from here?" "We will proceed to Tillamook, thence to Astoria, The Dalles and southeastern Oregon and back to The Dalle3 to await orders. We have already reported on ourexaminations in Tho Dalles and La Grande laud districts and most of the Lakeview and Oregon City districts." Messrs Eliott and Bichmond ex amined the land around Lake Lubish nar Salem, which they found to be bona fide swamp land. They found a considerable lot of all eged swamp land in Malheur county. Nearly one half of the town of Priuevilie, they state, iucluding the part occupitd by the court house, school house and other public buildings was swamped by the illustrious "swamp angel," Hen Owens, and now there is a possibility that a new title will have to be obtained from the the govern ment or from tho W. V. & C. M. Wagon Boad Co. PERSONAL MENTION. Judge Page was at Spokane Falls at last accounts and is expected home shortly. Messrs. Blakeney, McClellan and Von Beyer go to to Sboalwater bay and Gray's harbor to day. Lieut. F. F. Eastman, with a de tachment of 12 men of the 14th in fantry, is now in charge at Fort Canby. D. A. Mcintosh arrived yesterday morning from Spokane Falls, after an absence of two years, well and evidently prosperous. Mrs. C. T. Thomes arrived from San Francisco on the last steamer. Mr. Thomes is expected to arrive about tuo nrst or next mouth. A Universal Favorite.

A Clerk Who Hai Held Office Forty Eight Years. Othniel Gager, who is called in Norwich the "bonestest man in the world," was defeated recently for town clerk, an office he had held continuously since October 18, 1839. It was said that before his de feat ho had been longer in continuous public service than any other officeholder in the country. Mr. Gager is in his ninety-fourth year. In many of the eleo tions'his name was on the tickets of all narties. and frequently he received the entire vote cast in town elections. Ho was slow and precise in hisoffico methods and business men wereoiien vexed on account of his tedious gait; yet every one liked to Fee his wrinkled face and bowed head at the town clerk's desk, his pains taking hand plodding laboriously and al most nainfullv over the clean races of ledger and account books, because eviry one felt that, although he was slow, he was as honest as tho day wasTTdng, and that every penny ot the town's money was as safe with him as with the Record ing Angel. People often stopped in tho street, opposite the window of the clerk's office, to watch him for a moment; then passed on after saying to each ether: "Well, there's ono honest man left in tho world, and there ho is, Othniel Gacer." Mr. Gager was beaten by les3 than twenty votes, the reason for his defeat being that the business of the office de- manacu a livelier, u ji puuuujioug, officer. The venerable clerk has become very feeble; he has long walked with a crutch and cane, anu nan 10 nae in a hack to and from hia office. But bis handwriting is just as round, clean, and handsome as it was forty-eight years ago. There never was a blot on the neat pages of tho town accounts ink did not dare to nlav anv tricks on the clerk's solemn pen and tho writing is as easy to read as 13 print. Thero is not a hint of tremulous- ness in a singlo line in tho long row of leather-bound books that have been writ ten since 1839. Mr. Gager never used glasses; bis ejea aro ns good to-day as they ever were. A profound hush always reigned in Mr. Gager's office; ho would not tolerate levity in connection with tho serious and conscientious work of recording the an nals of debit and credit, hometimes a stirring.noisy person would gallop into tho room and begin to chatter, but the somber-garbed clerk had only to lift his head slowly oat of his books and look at tho manand instantly tho sanctuary hush was restored. Mr. Gager wrote with his face nearly on a level with the page, and bis mouth when he was writing was drawn up in a schoolboy pucker that was solemn and comical at the samo time. It took him about a minute to gel ready to write a word, :.ud another minuto to write it, but when the word was written it was finished work. JIx. Gager has been weak physically all bis life, and when ho was a young man his parents were afraid that he would not live till middle age, yet ho never was seriously ill. Ho was married twico and is a widower. Although ho has lost his clerkship ho still holds the offices of town treasurer and treasurer of tho town de posit fund. In tbe election on Monday he received 2323 votes and his Democratic opponent Gl in tho contest for those offices. Mr. Gager dwells in a pleasant cottage nt Norwich Town and has a com fortable fortune. JS orwich Corr. A ftp YerJ: Sun.
