"My wife had a distressing cough,
with pains in the side and breast. "Wo
tiied various medicines, but none did
her any good until I got a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which has cured
her. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had the
measles, and the cough was relieved by
the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I
have no hesitation in recommending this
toGough EViedicine
to every one afflicted." Robert ITorton,
Foi eman Headlight, Morrillton, Ark.
"I have been afflicted with asthma
for forty years. Last spring I was taken
with a violent cough, which threatened
to terminate my days. Every one pro
nounced me in consumption. I deter
mined to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
Its effects were magical. I was immedi
ately relieved and continued to improve
until entirely recovered." Joel Bullard,
Guilford, Conn.
" Six months ago I had a severe hem
orrhage of the lungs, brought on by an
incessant cough which deprived me of
sleep and rest. I tried various reme
dies, but obtained no relief until I be-j-an
to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me."
Mrs. E. Coburn, 19 Second St., Lowell,
Mass.
"For children afflicted with colds,
coughs, sore thro.it, or croup, I do not

The Eailroad Survey.
John Hurlburt, who is making the
preliminary surveys for the railroad
from Portland To Astoria, for the
Union Pacific compauy, is at work
making a survey by way of the Neha
lem valley. He has a route selected
from Portland by way of Gales creek,
in Washington county, totheNeha
lem, and this week he is making an
examination of the divide between the
Nehalem and Columbia river, in an
endeavor to find a practicable route
across it. His intention being to leave
the Nehalem at the mouth of "Wilson
creek, a small stream that empties
into the . Nehalem from the
north, about six miles below the Co
lumbia county line, and following up
that stream, and across the divide to
the Columbia nacr Knappa. Should he
fail in getting a route by way of "Wil
son creek, his only outlet from the
Nelialem will be by the route now
followed by the Astoria and South
Coast road. As soon as he gets the
Nehalem route ho will, it is under
stood, proceed to make a survey of
the Clatskanie and Beaver valley.
Mr. Hulburt's movements will be
watched very closely by the people of
Columbia county, and the settlers
along each ronto will doubtless see to
it that he is shown the superior
advantages of their route. Oregon

One night last week voting Brown,
clerk at the Nestucca cannery, con
cluded he would imitate some of the
bank cashiers who are now sojourning
in Canada for their health. He took
from the safe S800, and after procur
ing n horse and pistol, struck out for
the valley. He was pursued, and
somehow his followers passed him at
"Willamina. coming on to Sheridan.
"When told that they were after him
his heart failed him and he struck
back for the cannery. Polk County

A big ad. of tho Oregon Land Co.,

THAT TLltr.IULi; COUGH
In the morning, hurried or difficult
breathing, raising phlagm, tightness in
the nhest, quickened pulse, chilliness in
the evening or sweats at night, all or
any of these things are the first stages
of consumption. Dr. Acker's English
Cough Remedy will cine these fearful
symptoms, and is sold under a josilive
guarantee by J. W. Conn.

tion of Judge Thomas Holladay from
South Carolina, aschief of division in
the Register of the treasury's office,
was called for and accepted, not on
political grounds, but because he re
ceived a jug of applejack from a friend
in South Carolina and treated his
clerks to the same in his office. Reg

and gave Holladay a chance to resign
or submit to an investigation and ho

additional hella outside its gates, like
so manv ante-chambers, so that there
are in all 136 hot hells. 2. There are
eight large cold hells, each with its
sixteen ante-hells, making the same
number of cold that there are hot
hells. Besides these 272 hot and cold
hells for tho offenders of the common
sort, the wily Japs have arranged for
twenty mammoth hells of utter dark

It is reported that the police have
received information of a plot to blow
up all coal laden vessels from Ham
burg or Bremen. The gas companies
have lately found it difficult to ob

count of a boycott to which they aro
subjected when the coal is imported
in German bottoms and unloaded by
German crewd. Unable to gain ac
cess to these foreigners the strikers,
it is understood, have determined to
make examples of vessels so as to de
ter ship owners and sailors abroad
engaging in the business again.
