FREE TELEPHONE EXCHANGE. A movement to secure free telephone connection between Dallas, Inde pendence and Monmouth is being dis cussed by the subscribers of the Pacific States Telephone Company, and is meeting with much favor in the three towns. The plan proposed by the company, as we understand it, is to furnish free switching privileges if the subscribers will build and maintain an extra line between these towns. The company's main line is kept in such constant use by long-distance business that it will be necessary to put up a new line to accommodate the subscribers of the proposed three- town exchange. The cost of the extra line will not exceed $500, and it is believed that the amount can be easily and quickly raised by forming a stock company among the patrons. The PaeiflcStates company has about 400 subscribers in " the three tow ns, including the tribu tary farmer lines, and the cost of free switching privileges would be less than $1.50 to each patron. At the present rates, the amount paid to the company in a single year as long- distance tons wouia Duua trie pro posed line and leave a neat balance. If the line is built by a stock company, it will belong to the subscribers, and they can use it as they see fit. Free telephone connection between Dallas, Independence and Monmouth would bo of great benelit and con venience to the people of each town, and It is of much importance that the proposed movement bo agitated until the desired connection is secured. A subscriber complains that the Odbkkvkb docs not print the "doeings of the Japunes and Ilushia wares and the newes of the wirld in ginerel." The subscriber is correct. Such news of this class as we might give could not bo compared with the reports to bo found In the big metropolitan daily and weekly papers, and for this reason we do not attempt to furnish It. By tho time we have rustled around, ten or fifteen hours a day, collecting tho news of Polk county and tho more important happenings hero In Oregon, we have neither the time nor the Inclination to tackle the "newes of tho wirld iu ginerel." SAX FRANCISCO, Dec. 7. In a experiment conducted by Dr. Albert J.Atkins, of the California Medical College, on the living stomach of healthy man.it has been demonstrated that the orean is electrical in its action. The experiment consisted i the introduction of a specially pre pared electrode into the stomach by having the man swallow it. hen the electrodes were brought in contact with about an inch square of the wall of the organ, the galvanometer reg istered nearly 10 milli-volts of direct electrical current. It is claimed that this action proves that the whole pro cess of digestion is an electro-chernic one; also that this current in the wall of the stomach prevents the digestion of the stomach by its own juices. The above press report is in line with the theory of Dr. Darrin who has used electricity for the past 20 years in the treatment of stomach troubles. as well as chronic diseases and deaf ness. This fact combined with his correct diagnosis may explain the un usual success in their treatment and cure. Dr. Darrin having been a pio neer in the use of electricity with medicines naturally feels gratified that other medical men now follow in the path he blazed.

Cooper died at his home in Independence last Thursday, aged 75 years. His death was the result of a complication of ailments. He was a brother of John R. Cooper, and leaves a wife and five grown children. The following brief sketch of his life Is taken from the Independence Enterprise : "H. M. Cooper was born near Louisville in Kentucky, Decem ber 5, 1829. In 1839 he emigrated with his parents to Missouri. There he re mainecl until 1849, wnen like many otners, ne len ror uaiirornia to en gage in mining. In one year he re turned to Missouri and was there married to Miss A. J. Stewart. In 1853, together they set out with ox team for Oregon. They located in Cooper Hollow, Polk county, where his father's family had settled the year before. The Cooper Hollow vicinity took its name from Lewis L. Cooper, father of Harbin and John R. Harbin spent a few years mining in Kittitas county, Washington, ard owned and operated a grist mill in John Day. He sold the mill in 1893 and returned to Independence, where he since remained. At the time of his death ho owned a farm of 300 acres just south of Independence, and with Mrs. Hall, a 200 acre farm near the Krebs hop ranch. The greater part of Mr. Cooper's life was spent in min- ng and prospecting. As a citizen, Mr. Cooper's life was exemplary. For number of years, he was a con sistent member of the Christian church."

The session is a busy one, and the attendance of citizens from all parts of the county is larger than for many years past. No grand jury was called, and only two criminal cases were on the docket for trial. The bailiffs appointed by Judge Burnett are Hardy Holman, of Dallas, and J. H. Moran, of Monmouth. J. L. DeYoung pleaded guilty to the charge of robbing the store of EakiD & Dick, at Rickreall, and was sentenced to serve a year in the peni tentiary. DeYoung was the accomplice of another man, and both entered th store in which is kept a postoffiee DeYoung was captured in Portland but his companion escaped the officers. A trial was held in the Federal court n Portland, and DeYoung was sent up for six months. When his term of imprisonment expired, Sheriff Ford of Polk county arrested him atthe prison door, and he was brought to Dallas to await trial on a charge of larceny iu a store. F. S. Garrison, of Falls City, was tried for stealing a quantity of chit- tim bark from J. S. Courter's barn in rans uity ana was louna guilty as charged in the indictment. The trial developed the fact that Garrison sold the bark to Courter and afterwards stole it and brought it to Dallas, where he sold it to T. A. Risers. The evi dence of his guilt was so clearly established in the minds of the jury men that they were only a few minutes in reaching a verdict. Garri son appears to be a harmless, weak minded individual, and evidently took no pains to cover up the evidences of his crime. He will be sentenced by Judge Burnett at 9 o'clock this morning. All the jury cases to bo tried this term have been disposed of, and court will probably adjourn today Docket entries up to the hour of ad ournment last night had been made as follows : 1 Thomas Burrows vs A. Heise, action for money. L. H. McMahan for plff. Dismissed for want of prose cution. 2 Alba R. Morgan vs Susie H Best, action for money; Charles E Lonon for plff.

The poor treated free, except medicines, from 10 to 11 daily. Somewhere in the world life is at stake everv minute of the (lay. Right at our own'doors, perhaps, is going cn a struggle as grim and fierce as any fight or flight on record. You hear the hol low tearing cough ; see the ooze of blood which tells of ;he wounded lungs ; mark, the emaciated body and hectic cheek, and know a life is at stake. The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery has saved many a life 111 just such . a crisis. It cures obstinate, deep-seated coughs, stops the hemor rhage, strengthens "weak" lungs, and restores the emaciated body to its nor mal weight and strength. There is no alcohol in the " Discov ery," and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics. "I desire to send vou this brief, unsolicited testimonial." write Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Barium Springs, Iredell Co., N. C. "Iu 1898 one of my daughters was suffering on account of a were coujjh, hectic fever, wasting of flesh and other svniptoms of diseased luims. I promptly gaee her Dr. l'ierce's Golden Medical Discovery with gratifying success, and she now enjoys excellent health. This experience caused me to recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to my neighbors, who. without exception, used them wi.'ll favorable re.,i:.ts."

Owing to the fact that we are re quired to pay spot cash for all live stock bought by us, the undersigned meat markets will do no more credit business after today. Beginning to morrow, December 10, no books will be kept, and all transactions will be conducted ou a strictly cash basis. iThe free delivery will also be uis- continued. We have decided to adopt the pennyweight system, and cus jtomers will hereafter pay only for what they get. For instance, u you ask for 15 cents worth of meat and the same weighs out 13 cents, you will have to pay only 13 cents.

(Portland Freie Press) The lack or loss of one of the five human senses isolates the patient thus afflicted as entirely from the world as if he was banished to a lone island. What gratification can bring us the society of our best friends and acquain tances ir tneir voices do not reach our ear or if, instead of it, we are only con scious of an indistinct murmur? With the loss of hearing all joy and pleas ure dies within us, most so in the domestic relations and family life. The song of our children sounds from their lips but does not reach our hearts, their thanks and prayers are an empty sound. No birds sing in the branches for us ; no sound of the whole nature reaches our ear a feel ing of sorrow and despair fills our heart. It makes no difference if our suffering is due to an obstinate cold or to other causes. To give our readers a case, the most convincing because taken from the circle of our nearest acaiiiiintane.es we refer to Mr. J. J. Kern, who suf fered five years ago from a deafness so new trial argued, obstinate that his mind began to suf fer. Mr. Kern was at that time edi tor of the "Nachrichten and Freie rresse," and the loss of hearing and the constant noise in his ears proved a great obstacle to his business. Dr. Darrin cured him ten years airo bv clever treatment, and the evil has never returned. To Whom it May Concern.
