All the states and territories of the United States are fittingly represented, some by imposing buildings, others by structures peculiar to themselves. For instance Oregon's building: Although deceiving in appearance, there is a hearty welcome for all and much good cheer inside. Many humorous remarks may be heard as the visitor approaches it : "Why 1 Is this Oregon? I thought they had timber enough out there to build a big house." "I wonder if they have any prunes or apples in there," etc. Washington's building is octagon in shape and conical in form, five stories high, and the eight huge timbers, two feet square and 100 feet long, in it be speak Washington's timber resources. California is a reproduction of La Ribida Mission at Santa Barbara, and is a delightful retreat. The Lone Star State has a palace in the form of a five pointed star, surmounted by a dome 32 feet high. New Jersey is represented by old Ford Tavern, Washington's head quarters at Morristown ; Mississippi as the home of Jefferson Davis; Ten nessee has the "Hermitage," the old home of Andrew Jackson. Pennsyl vania, one of the most magnificent buildings at the World's Fair, Is always surrounded by visitors anxious to see and touch the old Liberty Bell, which stands in the rotunda, faith fully guarded by its custodians, and so on to the end of ihe chapter of states. All the state buildings have recep tion rooms where one can rest in comfortable rockiug-chairs, or recline on couches. Desks, with pen, ink and paper, are provided for all who wish to take advantage of the privilege, and the home papers are usually to be found on file. Many odd materials have been made into artistic statues, eloquently pro claiming the statos from whence they came. Birmingham, Alabama, has a statue of Vulcan, CO feet high. The base is made of coal and coke, and the statue is cast in iron. King Cotton is Mississippi's offering, and is as tall as Alabama's Vulcan. The Spirit of Utah is manifested in an artistic figure modeled from beeswax. Idaho presents the figure of a miner cast from copper. Louisiana presents two curiosities in sculpture a figure of Mephistopheles in sulphur, and Lot's Wife carved from a block of rock salt. California shows the figure of an elephant built of almonds. Alaska has a block of solid gold, representing the amount the United Statos paid for that territory, ($7,000,000). Of all the foreign buildings, Germany has the finest and most complete exhibit sent from abroad. The imperial German pavilion is com posed of rooms copied after some of the most famous palaces. The Emperor has sent paintings and tap estry from his own palaces for these rooms, and in one of them are cases containing his wedding presents. Instead of one building, Japan has chosen to have a large and beautiful garden in which stand seven large and pretentious buildings. The land scaping is altogether Japanese, and a bevy of Geisha girls, in their bright embroideries, are amongst the most picturesque peoples at the Fair. There can bo no question that the most significant exhibit at St. Louis is that of Japan. The Japanese Commission has 300 assistants caring for its ex tensive exhibits. The handiwork of this nation is marvelous, as we bo- hold it in their exquisite carvings, fine lacquer work, etc. Imagine a sideboard worth $10,000, and other furniture in proportion! The Pike is the great street of amusements, whero gaiety roigns from mid-morn to mid Right. Lined on both sides with buildings all foreign to the American eye, the scenes and sounds along this thoroughfare are such as to set the brain in a whirl. A ride on the Intramural through this section has not its equal in the world. Starting from a point central among palaces that are more ornamental than were ever conjured by Aladdin's Lamp, from the left conies the low hum of wheels and shafts of machinery ; from the right, weird notes of Oriental music and the voices of tho strong lunged, calling attention to the fan tastic sights that are within walls. Perhaps the most popular place is the "Streets of Cairo," as it contains the most rnd variegated exhibits of Oriental life. The Fair visitors, or a very large part of them, loaned them selves to the management for the edification of others by either attempt ing to ride a donkey, or trying acro batic performances on tho upper deck of a camel. "From New York to the North Pole" is still a mystery to all who went aloard the ice-bound ship, "Discoverer," and passed through Arctic scenes. "Und'-rand Over tho Sea" is another illusion, by which one may make a trip by submarine boat and return by airship. The illusion of flying through space is so real as to deceive all but tho initiated. The submarine divers were also on ex hibition. The original Monroe, 64 years old, who explored the Maine after it was destroyed ; the woman who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and others. What the Ferris Wheel wa3 to Chicago, the Revolving Umbrella was to St. Louis; wonderful in size, with cars dangling from its immense ribs as it revolved through the air. The Moorish Palace, with its mechanical and electrical effects, confused and amused all. The Irish Village had many characteristic features, also the famous Blarney Stone. These are only a few of the features of the Pike, with its 6000 people and 1500 animals. Now, in conclusion, there was much more that we could intelligently see, and no matter how tired we became, walking up and down the many miles of exhibits, we were paid many fold for time and money spent, and came away with knowledge of the world's progress that we never knew before. There is much satisfaction in the con fidence that tho enterprise has ful filled its mission, and soon all the in structive displays will become memo ries. No pen can exaggerate the significance of the World's Fair of 1904. MRS. II. E. KOZER, Ride Bicycles Now. The sight of a heathen Chinee going down tho street the other day with a pole across his shoulder with a loaded rice sack tied at each end, brought back vividly the recollection of early days in this community, when China men were numerous and played an important part in cleaning up the grubby end of Yamhill. This celestial was one of tho old timers a relic of the chop-stick, pole-carrying heathen, who has been succeeded in this neighborhood by John Chong, the Chinese gentleman, who lives out east of town, who drives his own team and rides a bicycle. Newberg Graphic. Bought by Polk County Men. William Tatom and C. W. Black, of this city, have purchased the thorough bred Percheron stallion, "Hercules," from John render, of California. This splendid animal was brought to Oregon last May, and was one of the finest horses on exhibition at the recent State Fair. He is 8 years old, and weighs 1800 pounds. The price paid for him was not made public, but it is known that he cost his now owners a neat sum of money. Polk count;-, through her progressive stock breed ers, is gaining a National reputation as tho home of line horses, cattle, sheep, goats and swine. Seriously Injured by Fall. B. F. Hall, owner of tho Hall ferry, while making some repairs on his hop house Tuesday, fell a distance of eighteen feet and was rendered un conscious. He was seriously bruised about the head, and was otherwise injured. He was taken to Salom for treatment, and is in a precarious con dition. Walter Lyon, editor of tho Indepen dence Enterprise, was a Dallas visitor, Tuesday. When you can't cat break fast, take Scott's Emulsion. When you can't eat bread and butter, take Scott's Emulsion.

The many scars that she will carry through life bear evidence of falls she sustained as a result of the most horrible afflic tionepilepsy. She consulted the best medical talent, six different physicians pronouncing the case incurable. She was recommended at last to Dr. Darrin but in her own mind, and in the minds of her friends, with but little hope of ever being cured. Appended are her own words. "Dr. Darrin treated me with elec tricity and medicine and from the first, I began to improve, and after a thorough course of his treatment I am happy to say I am cured. I have had no indication of a return of my awful affliction for the past 11 years. I give this in the interest of those similarly afflicted and most heartily recommend Dr. Darrin 's system. I had epilepsy 20 years before going under Dr. Darrin's care. November 14 he cured me of a case of deaf noss in one minute. I refer to Mr. B, F. Haley and Mrs. Graham, corner of First and Main streets, also Mrs. F. E. Dewey, 380 Davis street, Portland, all of whom knew of my condition, then and now. "Eefer any and all to me at Monta villa, Oregon, by letter or in person." Mas. Abbie Wareham. Sciatic Rheumatism Cured. To the Editor: I wish to state my case in brief. Five years ago I was afflicted with sciatic rheumatism and was cured by Dr.Darrin with electricity and medicine. I remain permanently cured. Refer anyone to me at 545 Hood street, Portland. J. A. Bennett. Judge Crockett Cured of Deafness. For teu years prior to going under Dr. Darrin's electrical treatment, Sep tember 12, 1800, 1 had been gradually growing deaf, with a constant ringing in my ears. For tho past five years I could not hear ordinary conversation. With treatment by Dr. Darrin I can hear nearly as well as ever In my life. I can conscientiously recommend Dr. Darrin's new cure for deafness, and can be referrod to at Merlin, Oregon, by letter or in person. Garrett Crockett. Dr. Darrin's Place of Business. Dr. Darrin can be consulted free at the Hotel Gail, Dallas, Oregon, until December 23, from 10 o'clock to 5 daily, evenings, 7 to 8, Sunday, 10 to 3. Tho doctor makes a specialty of all diseases of tho eye, ear, nose and throat, catarrh, deafness, bronchitis, lagrippe, heart, liver, bladder and kidney diseases, or those who suffer from apathy and indifference; also genito-urinary and skin diseases in either sex, such as blood taints, semi nal weakness and lost vigor, varicocele and stricture. Circulars and question blanks sent free to any address and correspondence solicited. Many cases can receive home treatment after one visit to tho doctor's office. Batteries and belts furnished with full directions for their use. Eyes tested and proper glasses fitted. The Rlddell Brothers. Says the American Sheep Breeder concerning two Angora goat breeders of Monmouth, Polk county, Oregon, who attended the sheep and goat show at tho World's Fair, St. Louis : "Those two young Oregon boys, the Biddell Brothers, who, alone of all the Oregon goatmen, had tho grit to come 2500 miles to see tho big goat show and bank on the four goats they brought, made a flue impression and earned by their modest behavior the good opinions of tho whole Angora crowd. The goat show would not have been complete without the two modest little gentlemen from Monmouth, for whom everybody easily grew into liking. Next time you come, boys, leave your bachelor diffidence at home and bring along with your goats a pair of those radiant girls that have made tho Willamette valley as famous for its beautiful women as it is for its Angora3 and long-wools." PERSONAL MENTION. Albany Democrat. Charles Galloway, of Brownsville, was in Albany, Saturday, to take leave of Dr. Darrin. Ho reports that he is about cured of a most distressing heart, stomach and liver trouble. J. L. Oxford, of Brownsville, was in town Saturday on hia way to Montana. It will be remembered that he was cured of almost total deafness by Dr. Darrin last June. He can now hear as well as ever in his life. P. A. Baccy, Jefferson, drove to town the other day and reports that he is jiermanently cured of deafness one ear, 13 years ago, while Dr. Darrin was in Portland, the other since tho doctor's sojurn In Albany. B. M. Crawford, of Calapooia street, rejoices over his relief from severe pains iu his back and kidneys and feels five years younger after two w-M'ks treatment by Dr. Parrin, W. W. I'arrish, of Sodaville, visited this city last week and reports the cure of his deafness as permanent Dr. Darrin remains at the Hotel Gail, Dallas, until December 23th,
