William Riddell, of Monmouth, one of Polk county's extensive goat raisers, was a business visitor in Cor vallis, Thursday. Corrallis Times. John McCuIlough, an aged farmer residing about five miles southwest of Amity, on the road to Sheridan, suffered a stroke of apoplexy early Thursday eveniDg and died Friday morning at six o'clock. Dr. Matthis of Amity was called and spent the entire night with his patient in an endeavor to save the old man's life, but to no avail. Deceased was about 65 years old and was one of the pioneer farmers of this valley, having settled here about the year 1807. He was a native of Scotland, but came here from the state of New York. During his resi dence here he made one trip back to the land of his birth, taking his wife, a native Oregonian, with him. That was about twenty years ago. Deceased followed the pursuits of a farmer nearly all of his life and was very successful in business, having amassed quite a fortune. His wife and four children, one son and three daughters, survive him. All of the children are grown. Amity Advance, Florence, the two-year-old daughter of William Fortmiller, yesterday after noon drank over half a bottle of cologne. An emetic promptly admin istered left the child well and sweet- scented. Albany Democrat. The Western Publisher says that a Sassafras Corners girl who is not only up-to-date, but is beating the schedule, described a kiss to her timid but tickled beau thusly: "It seems like a moonlight trip, sailing on a banana, down a stream of lemonade, to an ice cream festival." All the poor boy could do was to say "gosh !" and then they clinched ! Ex-Sheriff H. B. Plummer, of Polk county, now engaged in the hop busi ness, passed through Albany, Satur day, stopping for a short time. He was on his way to Junction City where he took in a quantity of hops. Albany Herald. The Oregon Angora Goat Show will be held in Dallas on Thursday and Friday, January 19-20, 1905. These dates were decided upon by the execu tive committee of the Polk County Mohair Association at a meeting held in this city Saturday afternoon. The members of the committee in attend ance were U. S. Grant, W. A. Ayres and James Riddell. President G. V. McBee, chairman of the committee, was detained at home by important business affairs, and H. L. Fenton, another member of the committee, was in Spokane. The three members present held a busy session, and plans for the coming exhibit were discussed at length. The gentlemen composing the com mittee say they look for a larger attendance of goat men at the 1905 show than ever before. Inquiries from prominent breeders from Cali fornia to British Columbia are being received daily, and great interest is manifested in the coming exhibit. The greater number of inquiries con cerning the show come from Southern Oregon, where goat raising is rapidly becoming an important industry. Mr. Grant informs us that the premium lists and announcements will be placed in the printer's hands at the earliest possible date, and that complete information relative to the show will be sent to every breeder In the Northwest. The Polk County Poultry Associ ation will make an exhibit in con nection with the goat show as usual. J. D. Smith and I. V. Lynch, repre senting the poultry raisers, were present at the meeting Saturday after noon, and received assurance from the committee that liberal space will be allotted for a poultry exhibit. ELECTRICAL CHIMES AT FAIR President Roosevelt Will Press the Keys and Play "America" Five Thousand Miles Away. Electrical experts are at work upon an extremely novel feature for the opening exercises of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition on June 1, next. The scheme is to have Presi dent Roosevelt' at Washington, touch a few keys and set in motion the chimes in the towers of the Govern ment Building at the Exposition. The chimes, 300 feet above the water will play "My Country 'Tis of Thee." The sound will carry a great distance, owing to the fact that the Government Building is located on a peninsula in Guild's Lake, half a mile from the mainland. Arrangements have already been made to have President Roosevelt touch a button that will set in motion the machinery for the Western World's Fair, and it is thought there will be no difficulty in arranging for the additional feature of the chimes. Monmouth Team Will Tour. Basket-ball practice at the Oregon State Normal School is now regularly held, and the team is getting into good form. Many of the former players of the past two years are tak ing regular work. Manager Graves Crowley is arranging a series of games with the various school teams, as well as with the Salem and Van couver Y. M. C. A. teams. After the holidays they contemplate a trip through Washington. Fred Crowley will play his position of center, while Butler and Coffey will play as guards and Stine and Force as forwards, with R. Allen and Charles Gordon as substitutes. Merry Christmas Exercises.

To the Editor : Dear Sir : I hold it to be a duty as well as a Dleasure to make known through the press, that which of all things is most essential, viz : The way to cure pain and sickness. I was confined to my room with sciatic rheumatism, kidney trouble, inflammation of the neck of the bladder, general indisposi tion. Could not sleep more than one hour at a time. All means I tried Droved unavailing. I was prompted to visit Dr. Darrin through the ad vice of my friends, who had been cured by him, though I must say that I had little faith that electricity would cure me. I came to the doctor on crutches, and my other complaints have all disappeared, so I can take command of my engine. Will answer all Questions by letter or in person at 490 Commercial street, East Portland. W. HAXS. Mrs. Easton's Card. Roseburg, Or.

AH DruWiJti A MOST REMARKABLE CURE OF HEART DISASE Perhaps one of the most wonderful results on record is the wonderful euro of Mrs. S. E. Clark by electricity and medicines administered by Dr. Darrin. Mrs. Clark was carried to Dr. Darrin's office in an almost dying condition, afflicted with a complication of diseases. Here are her own words : URIAH, Or. To the Editor: My health begun to fail over a year ago. I gradually fell away until I became very weak. I was suffering from lung, heart and stomach troubles. On the 4th of December, 1897, I went to Pendleton and put myself under Dr. Darrin's treatment by electricity and medicines, and began to improve from the first treatment and continued tc improve. At tho presont time I have good health. My neighbors say they never expected to see me return homo from Pendleton, and were greatly sur prised at my recovery. MRS. S. K. CLARK. SIX IT EARS LATER. URIAH. Or.-Dr. Darrin: 1 am enjoying good health, and have gained 20 pounds in tho past six years. 1 am entirely cured, and am very grateful indeed to have good health, after years of suffering with heart, stomach and lung troubles: also diseases peculiar to women. I cannot praise you too highly. Refer to me. MRS. H. E. CLARK. An Ashland Patient's Card. Some time aco I contracted a severe cold on the lungs which being neglect ed became chronic. After vain at tempts for relief I concluded it was death or Arizona. On learning of Dr. Darrin I consulted him. It is now one month since placing myself under his care, and I can truthfully say all morbid feeling, has left my lungs and I feel I am now able to work every day at hard labor. Further more, I will say in addition to his electrical and medical skill that Dr. Darrin is a man with a human heart and is unusully reasonable in his charges. I knew C. Carey, of Sam's Valley, Or., before and after his cure of almost total deafness. Refer to me at Ashland, Or. KARL CLINE. Discharging Ears Cured. To the Editor: I wish to make known through your widely circulated paper what Dr. Darrin has accomp lished in my case, that others similarly afflicted may avail themselves of the doctor's skill. For many years I have been annoyed with a loathsome dis" charge from my ears from the effect of measles. All remedies I have tried seem to fail until I went under Dr. Darrin's electrical and medical treat ment I am now cured and feel very thankful to Dr. Darrin, my hearing has greatly improved. I reside at Adams, Oregon, where my father keeps the Hotel Oregon. Can be re ferred to by letter or in person. BERT KIRBY.
