High Pressure Days.
Men and women alike have to work
Inwssantly with brain and hand to
noia their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements of society
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep ud with all
these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or debilitated condition of
the nervous SVRtom. whlrh mnlta In
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
Doay and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. It
Is clearly seen that what is needed is
wnat win sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to.the nerves, and keen
the digestive and assimilative func
tions bealtby and active. Eom per
sonal knowledge, we can recommend
Hood's Sarsaparilla for this Duronse.
It acts' on all the vital organs, builds
up the wbole system, and fits men and
women for these high-pressure days.
Kirkpatrick keeps the BEST.

FULTON FLAYS HENEY
Oregon Senator Pays His Respects to
Noted Prosecutor in No
Uncertain Language.
United States Senator Charles W.
Fulton addressed a fair-sized crowd
of citizens of Dallas and neighboring
towns in tbe Courthouse, Tuesday
night. A special train brought a
number of people from Falls City, a
goodly representation drove over from
Independence and Monmouth, and
the courtroom was comfortably filled
by an earnest and attentive throng.
Hon. Walter L. Tooze, of Falls City,
Introduced the speaker In a brief, but
eloquent talk, touching upon the
important Issues now before the Amer
ican people and paying a high tribute
toOregon'sseniorsenatorin Congress.
Mr. Fulton then came forward and
received a hearty ovation. Hethanked
tbe people for their presence and their
Interest In his campaign, saying that
as he had been elevated to his present
office by the people of Oregon, he
deemed it his duty to appear before
them In person, give an account of
bis stewardship, aod offer his defense
from the attacks that had been made
against his character.
He said that prior to the attack
made upon him by Prosecutor Heney,
he had been undecided as to whether
be would again enter tbe race for tbe
office of Senator, and declared that be
bad been practically driven Into bis
present course of action by tbe mall
clous slanders of his enemies. He
branded tbe accusations of Mr. Heney
as willful and malicious lies, and
denounced the California man In
scathing terms as one whose actions
agalost hlrn had been prompted by
motives of personal hatred. His entire
answer was In the nature of a general
denial, and contained no new or sen
sational features, being practically
along tbe lines of bis letter to the press
several weeks ago and of bis recent
speeches in Medford and other South
ern Oregon towns.
In the course of bis argument the
Senator read copies of several of the
letters and affidavits that have figured
moet Importantly In tbe contest be
tween blmself and tnoee wnom n
allege have basely slandered him.
He also referred briefly to tbe famous
hold-up session of tbe Oregon Legis
lature, and declared that the people
wonld never return to tbe old political
methods.
Before closing bis address, Senator
Fulton repeated tbe statements that
be made when be first returned to
Oregon concerning bis position on
Statement No. 1. He declared tbat be
had never opposed titst feature of the
primary law. but felt tbat It was a
matter which should be left enUrely j
to tbe IrgUlativ candidate. He said j
be bad always favored tbe election of
United Bute Senators by a direct:
vote of tbe people, aod tbat be would i
gladly support sorb a amendment to
tbe National constitution If ever given j
tbe opportunity to do so. He added, j
however, tbat personally he enuld -
ARE YOU

no difference in the effect of such an
amendment and that of Statement
No. 1.
Mr. Fulton spoke for nearly two
hours, and held the closest attention
of his audience at all times. He was
slightly hoarse from the effects of
continuous speaking during tbe last
ten days, but succeeded in making
himself heard distinctly in all parts
of the room. He will continue his
tour into Eastern Oregon this week
and will remain in Oregon until after
the primary election.
Promising Colt.
Tbat Oregon produces speed horses
equal to the best was demonstrated
beyond doubt to all who saw the beau
tiful 2-year-old colt, "St Salvana," at
the Salem Horse Show. According to
the pedigree furnished us by W. W.
Perclval, the well known horse breeder
of Independence, "St Salvana" was
sired by Salvation; dam, Glory's Love,
by Handsome ; he by Hanover. His
register number Is 52,549. He was
awarded first prize in the thorough
bred olass for 3 years old and under
3, and is one of tbe promising young
sters that are destined to maintain
Oregon's fame as a produoer of high
class speed horses.

Daring Burglars
Foiled !
The residences of several of our best citizens were
attacked by a band of blacklegs now infesting this
city, in the shape of Flies, Mosquitos, Gnats, Bugs
and Worms. But we are pleased to state that the
blood-thirsty villains were foiled at every house
where we have sold Wheeler screens - the only real
Scientific Screen.
These Screens are really "burglar-proof," for they
are the only Locking Screen; a burglar would have
to cut the wire which would waken any one! Peo
ple who sleep on first floors appreciate them.
Ten-Day Free Trial
On any or every window you wish to screen. No
matter what you thought to buy, or what you
thought to pay, first use the Wheeler ten days free,
and learn all that a Screen must do to satisfy year
after year.
Off thev come after the trial if they fail in any way.
