BILIOUSNESS
Whohaa not suffered this misery
caused by bile in the stomach
which an inactive or sluggish
liver failed to carry off.
THE PREVENTION AND CURE IS
7 --iizmMF
liquid or powder, which give8
quick action to the liver and
carries off the bile by a mild move
ment of the bowels. It is no pur
gative or griping medicine, but
purely vegetable. Many people
take pills more 1 take Simmons
Liver Regulator.
"I have been a vlotim to Biliousness for
years, and after trying various remedies
my only success was in the use of Bim
mons Liver Regulator, which never failed
to relieve me. I speak not of myself,
alone, bnt my whole family." J. M. Fill

PRICES CLIMBING.
Retail Merchants Advised of Advances
all Along the Lines.
Tradesmen nowadays are in con
stant receipt of bulletins and circu
lars informing them of advance in
the price of commodities. "In some
instances, raw material are bring
ing more than double what they
did a year ago at this time. . Per
haps in the leather market, the in
flation has been most marked all
along the line. Perusal of the fol
lowing from "Hide and Leather," a
Chicago trade journal of the leath
er industry, will show how rapid
the rise has been: " f
s "The markets remain tinged with
excitement, but shadowed by con
servatism. The rapid inflation is
unsettling and the question of the
day is liow will it all end?
"Trade veterans are divided in
their views. The future appears to
be an unfathomed sea. It looks as
if hides and skins will gOBtill high
er; that leather will follow, and
carry up with it irresistibly the
numerous products made there
from. ....
"Within the past week or ten
-days the leading manufacturers of
cut soles, taps, etc., have met in
Chicago and agreed to advance
their price list 33 per cent. Oak,
hemlock and union soles are dear
er than a week ago. Harness leath
er is ascending excitedly. ' Grain
and smooth finished sides leathers
are at least 100 per cent higher
than at this time last ' year, and
wax calf and kip are buoyant.
Picked sheepskins have increased
in cost recently from 50 cents to
$1.50 per dozen and sheep leather
is up half cent a foot, nd may be
a full cent higher by the time this
.writing is "published. Bellies and
heads are" scarce and expensive.
Furniture' and upholstery leather
is about to be raised two or three
cents a foot. Raw goat skins are
in fair supply, yet glazed kid is two
cents a foot higher, in sympathy
with the whirl in other leathers.'
"To put the case in a nutshell,
heavy hides rough speaking cost
over 100 per cent, and calfskins
fully over 85 per cent higher than
in May, 1894. Against this, heavy
leather is about 50 per cent, and
upper, such as grains and smooth
finishes, about 100 per cent higher
than at this time last year. Shoes
are now listed at an advance of
from 10 to 25 per cent, the latter
principally on low priced grades,
and it is predicted will rise still
further unless the expected should
occur and leather decline."
During the two months just pass
ed, tacks have advanced 300 per
cent, though they may break back.
During the same period of time
nails have risen 30 per cent and
drawn wires 10 per cent. Advan
ces on some commodities is attrib
uted to combinations or trusts, and
in some cases they will not be able
to hold the present-figure, though
in others they may force it higher.
A Narrow Escape.
' The trainmen on theO. R. & N.
line accomodation from Colfax to
Moscow Sunday afternoon had an
experience tnat they will not soon
forget, and which only the rarest
good fortune prevented from being
a terrible accident. The train
comes out of ono of the rocky cuts
near Riverside just before running
on a bridge. At that point the en
gineer and fireman were horrified
to see a girl 11 or 12 years old and
a boy 9 or 10 in the middle of the
bridge. It was impossible to stop
the train before the engine reached
the farther end of the bridge.
There the engineer, fireman and
conductor climbed down with
blanched faces, expecting to find
two mangled bodies. The girl s
nai ana ine sacK that the children
were earning were found, but not
a trace of blood or the children
themselves. The search wa3 pros
ecuted around all parts of the
bridge without result. At last
tracks -were discovered and follow
ed, revealing the two hidden in the
bushes, .thouroughly frightened,
but without a scratch. It proved
that they had diopped through be
tween the ties and fortunately had
landed on the ground, 15 feet be
low. They were more frightened
at the stoppage of the train 6n
their account than because of their
danger. . , ,

TALKED WITH MARCUS WHIT.
MAN.
James Otis Recalls a Conversation He
Had With tha Missionary, V
"I traveled from Washington to
Cleveland with Marcus Whitman
when he left the capital after his
memorable ride," said James Otis,
of Chicago. "It was in the ppring
of 1843, and I met him just after
his interview with President Tyler
and Daniel Webster. We were
traveling companions from Wash
ington to Buffalo and were then
delayed ten days by the ice in the'
lake. We continued our journey
together as far as Cleveland on the
steamboat. He was on his way to
St. Louis to take charge of the em
igrant train, which ho led over the
mountains to Oregon that summer.
"He was one of the most remark
able men Lever met. He was very
leligious, had perfect faith in the
guidance of , Providence, and also
in himself and his mission. He
ftlked of little else but Oregon, and
he convinced me that it was a won
derful country, well worth preserv
ing for a part of this country.. He
told me of his long and terrible
ride from the Columbia river south
through ;an unknown wilderness,
over the Rocky mountains, and
then east from Srfnta Fe to St.
Louis, ar d then to , Washington.
He spoke of bis visit to the presi
dent and the speech he made him;
how the president asked him to
come again the next evening to
make the same little speech to a
party of senators who should be in
vited to the White house for' that
purpose, and how the simple de
tails of what a Christian mission
ary knew of Oregon and its resour
ces then to retain the vast territory
as a part of the United States.
"I left him at Cleveland, heard
the news of his murder by the In
dians with profound regret, and
then for many years the name of
Whitman dropped out of the pub
lic notice. But I am glad to see
the Inter-Ocean bringing to notice
tho great service of this hero and
martyr to remind the people of
what the nation owes to his mem
ory, which is to be preserved in
Whitman college. Marcus Whit
man was a wonderful man."
This meeting with Whitman was
more than half a century ago, be
fore Mr. Otis left his Ohio home to
settle in Chicago and become one
of the pioneers of the city, but he
remembers the details of their
journey and their conversation so
well, because of the strong impres
sion made by the missionary.

The last section of the gates have

Times-Mountaineer. , The : gates
that have bten erected keep the
water out of the canal and permit
work to be done, and the construc

provement as fafft ' as possible. It
is no idle dream for our citizens to

loaded at our wharves with produce
and never break cargo until they
land their freight at Portland or As
toria. An open river to the sea of
the people of this vicinity is on the
point of realization.

Was It Murder. .
James G. Kidwell, son of James
Kidwell, who is supposed to have
committed suicide at Baker City
last week by taking" poison, 1 seems
to have doubt about his father com
mitting the deed. It is learned, he
stated, that the old man had con
siderable money on his person the
evening before his death, and when
found had but a two-bit piece in
his pocket. , He advanced the the
ory that his father was doped and
robbed by someone and from the
effect died. He does not know how
to explain the letter found on the
body but thinks it was a decoy,
written by someone who knows the
family, to throw off suspicion. The
matter is to be thoroughly investi
gated and if sufficient evidence is
adduced to indicate murder. Bteps
will be taken to bring to justice
the guilty party or parties.

How Trees Grow at Pilot Rock.
At the corner of Munchausen av
enue on Forty-second street, in
Pilot Rock, Umatilla county, ui a
fine large pine tree, with a history,;
says the Astoria News. Long and
many years ago a gentleman left"
Walla Walla, Wash., carrying an'
ordinary pine walking stick, which' -had
been recently cut. When ho
arrived at what is now the site of
Pilot Rock, having no further use
of bis cane, he stuck it' into the
ground. It grew and is now " a
thing of beauty, casting its shade
upon the just and unjust--princi-pally
the latter.
While in Topeka last March, E.
T. Barber, a prominent newspaper
man of La Cygne, Kan., was taken
with cholera morbus very severely.
The night clerk at the hotel where
he was stopping happened to have a
bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy and
gave him three doses which reliev! .
ed him and he thinks saved his
life. Ever family should keep
this remedy in their home at all
times. No one can tell how soon
it may be needed. It costs but a
trifle and may be the means of sav
ing much suffering and perhaps the
life of some member of the family.

glimpse of the new woman on her
bicycle apostrophises as follows;
"The bloomer is a bifurated dream

goods! A symphony in tout en
semble! An embodied perfume!
A distracting combination! A
style chaste as Diana! Beautiful 1
as Hebe! Fit garment for Dryads
or for tho vestals and it goes with
leggins, too. The blooms of the
orchard are sweet and the bloom of
tho rose a delight, but the bloom
as they may( the new style is far
bloomer. ;
