Imperfect Digestion
Means less nutrition and iu conse
quence, less vitality. When the liver
fails to secrete bilo, the blood bo-
comes loaded with bilious properties,
the digestion becomes impaired and
tho bowels constipated. Herbiue will
rectify this; it Rives tono to the
stomach, liver and kidneys, strengthen
the appetite, clears aud improves the
complexion. AO cents a bottlo at

Ed Harriott, the Williams stago
driver, had a narrow escape on Thurs
day from serious injury by a vicious
horse. The animal is one which is
driveu in his team, and he entered
tho stall ignoring, for tho moment
the animal's peculiarities. The horse
began kicking at Harriott in tho nar
row stall. He was struck on the arm,
the blow bruising the member
severely mid all but breaking the
bono. A particularly vicious kick
caught the leg of Ills trousers, tear
ing the garment iu a ruinous man
nor. Harriott finally escaped by
crawling under the manger and a lit
tle later untied tho animal and gave
it a few lessons on the advisability of
more orderly deportment.
Clothesline Robbed.
The clothes line robbers are again
heard from. This time they helped
themselves to tho clothes on Mrs. O.
V. Clement's lino Saturday night,
taking everything on the linn as far
they went and stopping only when be
ing frightened away, which event
onlv, is responsible for having sated
Mrs. Clement a portion of her washing.
Not loi.g ago, mens' apparel was
taken from the P. II. Hurth clothes
line which was probably the work of
tramps, but this was not the work nf
hobos as there was no sorting dono.
Tho perpetrators were tracked quite a
distance aud it has been reported that
their identity was discovered. Mrs.
Clement says she has no desire to pros
ecute, but sho wants her clothes and
expects to havo them returned to her.
That Grants Pass, is the great mill
ing center of Southern Oregon, has
been recently corroborated by tho ex
ecutive committee of the Oregon state
Miners' Association, deciding to hold
a convention at Grants Pass next fall.
And that Grants Pass is the greit
dental center of Southern Oregon, is
corroborated by the fact that there
are more dentists in Grants Pass than
in any other city in Southern Ore
gon, and from the farther fact that
there are dentists in Grants Pass, of
supirior qualification, ingenuity,
skill and ex!K.rieucv, who are prepared
to do any kind of difficult cases of
dentistry or remedv any kind of
failures, of other dentists, that can be
accomplished in the largo cities.
Hence they draw work from quite a
distance. Within tho past week Dr.
Jennings has had two very difficult
cares of dental work, from parties
who reside much nearer Ashland,
Medford aud Jacksonville than Grants
Pass. They were parties who had
failures from other dentists. They
received work that gave them entire
satisfaction here.
Tho assessed valuatiou of taxable
property in Anhland School District
No. 5, which includes the City of
Ashland, is given by the Couty Clerk
as IVQ.00U, which is over (100,000 in.
crease over the last assessment The
school population it growing along
with the increase in proprety, aud
additional school facilities will ha to
to be made for another years' work
A special election bas been called for
February t, when the question of tot
ing (i'l.OiX) bonds for building a new
igh School bailding will be deter
mined by the electors.
OWNS HIS WATER PLANT
O. Lund Making a Handsome
Ple.ce on Iowa Street.
O. O. Lund, who last year pur
chased the Cochran place on Iowa
street, is making it one of the hand
somest among, the homes near town.
The situation is a beautiful one, the
slope of the ground being very sym
metrical, and the building lite is one
of the handsomest of the vicinity.
Siuce acquiring this property, Mr.
Lund has remodeled the bouse and
made a number of additions to the
buildings. He has cleared the ground
of the stumps which marred the ap
pearance of the jfiace and has dug up
the poorer trees of the long neglected
orchard and trimmed aud pruned the
remaiuder into a far better appear
ance and prospeot of profitable fruit
crops. He is now preparing to en
close his place with a neat wire fence.
He will plant an avenue of rose
bushes between the house aud the
front gate and pround the about the
residence will be seeded for a lawn.
The most noteworthy of the im
provements which Mr. Lund has in
stituted on his place is the water
system. He baa a water plant that
will furnish an ample supply of
water for domestic use and for the
small amount of irrigatioa that the
ground needs to 'make it produce in
abundance. The water is pumped
from the well into a tank, the power
being furnished by a two horse power
gasoline engine. The tank has a
capacity of 106 barrels and is of suffi
cient height to cover the greator por
tion of the place. It is filled by a
double aotion force pump which
throws a continuous stream. Pipes
lead from the tank in different di
rections and about 000 feet of pipe
will be UBed.
This water system is one that could
be used with good effect on a great
many of the places of this valley. If
more of the residents would take the
pains to beautify their homos that
Mr. Lund is doing, the good effect
could not be computed. Nature has
done her part toward making, this the
most beautiful country in the world
and hor efforts should be supplement'
ed by those of the resideuts. This
ought to be made a country of beauti
ful homes.
TRIED TO ROB UNCLE SAM
Burglars Force Open Rear Door
of Poet-Office.
An attempt to burglarize the post
office was mado early Monday morn
ing. When the postmaster reached the
office he found that the back door had
been forced but u ono seems to have
entered aud it isthonght that the bur
glars got faint hearted in the moment
of success or were perhaps frightened
away by the approach of some ono.
1 lie back door is doublo aud was
locked by means of a bar reaching
across both doors. A crowbar had
been inserted in tho center crack and
the doors pried outward with tho effect
bending the bar by which they
were locked.
W. L Sweetland's dogs in tho rear
of his moat market which adjoins tho
post office were found that morning in
an apparently excited couditiou, with
their noses close to the corner toward
tho rear of tho post office, and it is
thought the attempt mnst have been
made shortly beforo opening iu tho
shop. There is to clow to the bur
glars. Tho crowbar with which the
door was forced is tho property of
John Nalowski and was taken by tho
burglars from among his tools.
PERISHED IN THE SNOW
Such Is Thought to Be the Fo.to
of A N. Dro-ke.
A. N. Drake, of West Fork, nine
miles north of Gleudale, Douglas
county, disappeared iu tho mountains
last Monday aud has not since been
seen. Leaving the house in the
morning with his riflo and hatchet,
ho told his wifo he would return
about noon. Being gone all day,
the neighbors were notified and a
search began. It was kept up all
night without result, and searching
parties since have found no clew.
The cocutry is very mountainous
and from ono to two feet of suow has
fallen there. It is believed the man
has certaiuly perished frcm accident
or exposure.
