Austin of Winchester, Iii.L, knew what to do in the hour of need. Hi wife had uch an nnnsoal caw of stomach and liver trouble, physi cians coo Id not help her. He thought of ahd tried Dr. King' New Life Pills and she got f:Val at once and nil finally cured. Only 2.1c, at W. F. Kn-mer' drug trtt. Memorial day Saturday, May 80, was fittingly observed in Grants Pass under tho auspices of the O. A. R. Committees were appointed who took charge of decorating the graves of the departed heroes at the several cemeteries. The exercises of tho day were held iu the afternoon. The G. A. R. aud W. R. C. assembled at the A. O. U. W. hall and marched thence to Sixth street near the court house where the parado was formed, headed by the baud and followed in orde by the O. N. G.. G. A. R., W. R. 0. and school children. Tho parade was a long and imposing one and the music rendered by the band was appropriate and beautiful. The march was to the bicycle grounds w here a largo crowd collected to witness tho ceremony of decorating a cenotaph in memory of the uuknownii and unreturued dead, with tho customary ritnnlistic exer cises of the G. A. R. Tho school children, under tho direction of the W. R. C, assisted iu tho ceremonies of decoration. The customary saluti s wero fired and tho parado re-formed to march to tho opera house to com plete the exercise. At the ojiera house, the memorial service of tho G. A. R. was given and appropriate music was furnished by tho choir of tho Newman M. E. olmrch. Recitations wero given by Misses Cole and liiims and an oration was pleasingly delivered by Miss Abhie Stackpole. The address of the day was given by Rev. T. A. Daught ers aud was a very able product ion, pleasantly delivered and with thoughts in keeping with the spirit of tho occasion. The song ''America" sung by the entire assemblage, closed tho program. MISS THOMAS' RECITAL 'Mrs. Wigusol the Cabbage Patch" Was Highly Enjoyed The audience which assembled on Tuesday evening to listen to the reci tal of Miss Laura Gertrude Thomas wero delighted beyond measure ut the entertainment which was presented to them. Ill this city wo think of Miss Thomas as a Grunts Pass girl ns she was formerly a student in tho Grants Pass schools. She is well known here and her friends are many. She has recently graduated from tho Columbia school of oratory at Chicago anil her talent as a reader has brought her the highest compliment wherever she has been heard. She was assisted iu her entertainment hero by our local musicians in several enjoyable num bers. Tho opening number was a piano duet "Love's Awakening, " by Mrs. Adelia Harth Wilson and Miss Lucas. Tho selection was well rendered and was enjoyed with appreciation by the audience. The vocal solo, "In a Bower, " by Mrs. Margaret Meade Barnes, was given in tho phasing manlier which has made Mrs. Barm s always a favorite w ith Grants Pass audience and she was enthusiastically encored. Miss Laura Parker, also one of our favorite musicians, rendered with charming skill and expression tho piano solo, Schubert's "Impromp tu." Miss Thomas first apicured iu the amnsing skec'.h, "Cupid and Dicky," in which her powers of impersonation appeared to advantage. But it was in the five scenes of "Mrs. Wiggs of tho Cabbage Patch" that her phasing talent was most apparent. She carried the audience with her and made them see with their own eyes the scenes which she depicted. J'he woes ami Joys of the Wiggs family were real and to sustain as Miss Thomas diil the keen interest for so long a time and .'lose with the audience so absorbed iu the m hiii pr-si iitcil, would he a severe le-d to the poweis of any reader. It is the general opinion that her superior has w vc r been heard in Grants Pass. Miss Thomas is charming in voice, p ise ami nn.uniT. On the stage, i-he is perfectly natural and unassuming. In her selections, the portrayed scene is always foremost iu the miinls of the audience, while the personality of the speaker is more dimly, though pleas antly, realized.

As was the general expectation, Binger Hermann won ill the congres sional election held on Monday, though with a majority that may bo considered small for till district Retimes was a strong candidato aud uiado a good "run," hi personal popularity gaining him quite a number of republican votes. Tho election was quiet and a small vote was polled. While all the returns are not yet In, it is safe to say that Hermann's plurality w ill not be far from 1800. Ho carried tho couuties of Benton, Coos, Curry, Douglas, I-aue, Liucoln, Liuu, Marion, Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill, with an aggregate esti mated plurality of about 2400. Ronnie carried Clackamas, Josephine, Klam ath and Polk with pluraltles esti mated at 700. Lake is yet to bo heard from. Several surprise appear In the returns. Clackamas county, esti mated republican, gave Reame 850 ; Linn, presumably democratic, gave Hermann a majority, whilo Joso- pbiue, placed as doubtful, presented Kennies with a majority of about 200 and Jackson fell far short of the ex pectations of the democrats, s In Josephine county, the several precincts gave pluralities a follow : For Herinanu North Grants Pass, Si; West Grants Pass, 1; Lucky Queen, I ; Galice, 8.

Those who wore acquainted with Joue do not accept tho possibility of the suKgestion that he has left the country. Ho was a man of good character and standing, in good financial circum stance. No solution present Itself except that the man has boon mur dered. Ill movements on the day ho disupM'arcd are fully traceable np to about half past, four iu the afternoon, when he is said to have loft the Oermanla saloon. Since that time there 1 no trace of him whatever. Ho intended to go out to the Dimlck farm, but no one seem to know defi nitely whether or not he even started thither, though it is supposed that ho did. His continued disappearance seem to indicate foul play beyond a doubt. The matter will not be allowed to drop and it is thought that Jackou county will lend assistance to prosecute the search to the fullest IKissible extent, a the missing man was a citizen of that county.

Insignificant in size aui un handsome in appearance, he has, nevertheless, a capacity for compell ing a recognition of hi importance and is therefore a good subject for au object lesson to the young as an ex ample of the manner in which a creator of little talent may become fainou by mure persistence aud close application to business. The wood tick's specialty Is the operation of boring himself into the hide of living animals, hanging on with desperate per sistence till .long after life ha dopurted from his diminutive frame. Rancher who have to.-k ou the range respect the destructive capacities of wood- ticks, for they will sometimes con gregate on an animal, thin and weak on the winter range aud rob him of his life blood until he Ho down and dies through sheer discouragement and disgust No more sorrowful picture can well bo imagined than that of a lean, "ticky" yearling colt, with ragged coat and rh )umy eyes, drag ging out the weary winter day till spring time or death shall mercifully come to his relief. The woodtiek does not limit his operation strictly to four footed creatures, a many Oregnuiau are able to testify from experieuce. And once a young man, whose home Is In Grints Pass, as, he weut to aud fro about hi dully toil, became aware of a (trauge and uncomfortable palu iu the region of hi stomach.

Whatever he took, the nin iu his stomach continued un abated. Visions of apjiendioiti or like ailmont flitted through the young man's mind and ho determined to consult a physician. But before lie did so, hn wns prompted by some idea to make an external examination. Ho fonud a largo woodtiek burrowed for half it length into hi anatomy. The physician' services were uot required.
