An Ekctioa law. j Considerable inquiry la being made regarding registration requisites, to en title suffrage at the presidential election to be held November 8. The most perplexing question with tbe voter is whether or not he is entitled to vote outside tbo precinct, in wbicb he waa registered, prior to May 15, tbe day registration closed. In other words, if be Is registered in one precinct and subsequently moves to another, will he have to re-register? Following is sec tion 16 of the law passed in 1899 provid ing Inr registration of electors, etc: ' "If it appears the elector fa not regis tered in the precinct in which he applies lo vote, the elector ' in any case, as of course, shall be considered challenged, and shall be required to subscribe and swear or affirm to the blank "A," pre scribed by section 3 of this act, filled onl according to the facta, and in ad dition thereto be ajiall be required to procure six freeholders of the county lo take and subscribe to the second oath. as specified in said blank "A" ot section S of this act, and tho same shall be con sidered by tbe judges and forthwith decided and after noting thereon with ink whether the elector is allowed to vote or not, and if allowed (o vote tbe pollbook p umber ot the elector, they (ball file the same. Unless the elector in every such case so establishes his right to rote in tbe precinct, and to the judges, bis vote shall not be received. In carrying out the provisions of this act, tbe judges of election, or either of them, are hereby authorised to adminis ter and .certify nalhs, and to issue subpoenas to require tbe attendance of witnesses before them. ' Thus it will be seen that the voter wbo votes outside the precinct, where he registeted prior to May 15, will coin cide with the person who has not registered, and bis vote will not have to be sworn in by the aid of six attesting freeholders.

A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia as follows: I was in an awttil condition. My skin war almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I con tinued their nse for three weexs, and am now a well man.

Francis Fielder, who lives at Turkey, a small village near New Brunswick, N. J., Is wondering why misfortune is persistently pursuing him and his family, says tbe Nw York World. Iterently his son F.dward fell from a scaffolding at Long Ilranch and waa ao. badly hurt that for a long tlm hit life waa despaired of. lbrl Mrs. Fielder slipped from the stoop of her home, breaking her collar bone and several riba. The uext day Mr. Fielder slipped on some loose bay and fell out of the mow.

From m to 35 the fifth seven might be called ths Infancy of age, fur in those year one learns to exercise the faculties and perceptions that have been develoed in the previous groups. I'p to the age of 42 the lesson go on. Character 1 being matured and fixed, the definite trend of life established. After that few changesare made in the real person. Slight variatlonsand mod ification of opinion there may be, but nothing d--p or vital ia likely to trans form the life. The common phraaes, "a confirmed old bachelor," and "a confirmed old maid," applied to unmarried men and women over 40 are tacit admission of that fact.

That the administration regards the crisis, ao far as American interests are concerned, a past, lu China, or tbat it ia anxious to make the power think it duet, is shown by the withdrawal of American warship from northern Chin ese waters, In addition to the withdrawal of our troop from China. This indi cates that the purpose for which tbe recent ordering of the battleship Ken tucky and the cruiser Albany lo Chinese waters was done has been accomplished. The only two American warships now remaining in northern Chinese waters are the New Orleana, at Takn, and tbe Monocasy in the Pel Ho. Those two will remain all the winter. Admiral Remy, aboard the. flagship Brooklyn, is on his wsy -.to Manila, which ia the headquarters of the Asiatic squadron of ; which ha it commnnder. He will be In easy reach of China If be is needed. Hon.. John U. Carlisle, who was Mr. Cleveland's secretary of tbe treasury, said whlht in Washington, a day or two ago, that he did not intend to vote (or either Bryan or McKiulev. but bo believed the latter would win. A delegatiod of prominentdignitariet ol the Catbolio church, headed by Arch' bishops Corrigan and Kyan, had an ex tended conference with tba president to discuss the status of their church in Porto Rico and the Philippines. Mem bers of the delegation stated aKeiward that they were satisfied with the presi dent's explanation of the policy of this government toward their church and its property in the former Ppani-b possession. The published atory tbat General Chaffee captured $278,000 in gold In Tein Tsin and shipped it to Washington is amusing to official circlet. Secretary Root waa Inclined to be facetious about it when asked whether Iba atory was true. - He said : "I never heard that General Chaffee look anv gold at Tien Tin, If the treasury people got hold ol it, they tock advantage - of my absence 1 wouldn't have let them have It bad I been here." Tba facts are ancient newt Soma money wat captured by Rear Admiral Remy'e marines when Tien Tsin waa taken, and it was about Hie amount mentioned. The other powers mad a demand tor the money, but Admiral Keiny declined to give it up and deposited it in his own name in an eastern bank, subjected to the order of the nsvy department, and It it there yet. Thit government hat not decided what will be dona with it, and It may be said to be held in trust at present. Tbe Chinese government ha made no derr.aud for It. Although there are no parly politics in tba daughter ol tba American revolution, it waa brought out at tbe celebration of the tenth anniversary of the organisational Washington, several davt ago, that the leading candi dates for president to succeed Mrs Daniel Manning, of New York, whose reelection is prohibited by the constitution of the organisation, and ahose time will expire Feb. 22, 1801, are Mrs. Bryan, wife of Hon. W. J. Bryan, of Nebracka, and Mia. Roose velt, wife of Gov. Roosevelt, of New York. The election will not take place until the 22nd of February next. Both ladies have active partisans, but the election (or president of the United Stales will probably b an imortant factor In determining the winner, the daughtera being fully aware of the social and other advantigea of elsollna either the president's or the vice presi dent's wife to be president of their orgsnisatlon. Acting Director Sullivan, of (lit bureau of engraving and printing aaya the series of postage stamps lo be issued In commemoration of the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, will not only bo different from any ever If sued, but will be the handsomest work of It class ever turned ont by the bureau.

About sending Yon are not doing yourself Justice when you send away for roods. First, because you get your living out of Southern Oregon and the more business that is done in Southern Oregon the more chance you have yourself of getting more of it. And more business will bricx more people and more people will help the price of real estate, and so it goes. .. A personal pride in the advancement and building up of our community helps everyone ' yourself as well. Again, you will find tbat ottr prices will average lower than those of the retail catalogue books, aside from the expense and inconvenience of sending away tt) remote city for goods and many people who do so wholly overlook the fact that they must pay transportation charges and collection, etc., and find that when they do finally get the goods that tbe express or freight charges have eaten up all the saving.
