and causes constipation, wb en the waste
that should be carried on remains m
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling la due to a
toroid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. ' Keep the liver active oy an
occasional dose of Simmons liver Beg.

TO PURCHASE LIEU LAND.
Protected From Homestead and Other
. ' " " Federal Laws. '
The. state board of land com
missioners has adopted the follow
ing plan whereby persons wishing
to purchase lieu 'lands :can have
their selections protested from the
operations of the t homestead and
other federal laws:
Send an application to the state
land agent describing the tract and
stating whether or not applicant is
over 18 years of age a resident of
Oregon and a citizen of the United
States, and has not directly or in
directly purchased land (from the
state, which, together with the land
applied lor, exceeds in amount 320
acres.
When notified by the clerk of the
state board of the acceptance otap
plication transmit to mm zU per
cent of the minimum price of the
land applied ,for, to-wlt: " F.'fty
cents an acre and also Wi for each
quarter section or fraction thereof,
to pay. the federal land othco fees,
the former sum to be returned to
theV applicant in case the state
board fails to make him a deed, or
the applicant should - not be at
fault. ,
i When the suspension of tale has
expired, the applicant can proceed,
under law, and in case no change
is made by the Miext legislature,
one-third of the whole is to be paid
them, and the remainder in two
equal notes, payable in .one and
two'years, with interest at iu per
cent per annum, payable semi-an
nually, or full payment may be
paid at that time and deed issued
at once. , ;
On timber lands one-half must
be paid at the time, and the re
main jer in one note, , payable in
one year, with interest at 10 per
cent, etc., but the purchaser is not
permitted , to remove anv timber
until full payment is made. .
The legislature specined the
above times as the limit of deferred
payments upon- lands, but after
wards left the time to be fixed by
the board, which adopted 1U years
as to the extreme limit to which
payments might be deferred, in
cage the interest is promptly paid.
I have two little girl children
who are teething this hot summer
weather and are troubled with
bowel complaint. I give them
Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and it acts like
a charm. I earnestly recommend
it for children with bowel troubles.
1 was myself taken with a severe
attack of bloody flux, with cramps
and pains m my stomach, one
third of a bottle of this remedy
cured me. Witbm twenty-four
hours I was out of bed and doing
my house work. Mrs. W. L. Dun-

WAGES ON THE INCREASE.
A Good Sign Apparent in the Manufac-
, turing Districts of the East and
: " South. '
The upward tendency of wages
continues to be marked as the in
creasing activity in business, says
the New York world. Advices re
cently reported from Birmingham
show that the south is feeling the
impulse which has moved the east.
They are now followed by the ac-
tionof the Howard Harrison Iron
Company, operating : the largest
iron pipe works in the south, which
has posted a notice of a 10 per cent
advance to take eflect at once.
A like advance reported on the
same day by the Cleveland Rolling
Mill Company is another gratify
, ... i "
ing indication of the willingness of!
operators to share Iheir prosperity
with their men. Such voluntary
advances have been made during
the last six weeks by a number of
important cotton mills also, and
the 10 per cent increase of waees
just granted by theChsdwick Mills
of Utica, shows that there is no
diminution of confidence in the
future of the business.
The decrease in wages last year
was accompanied by a general de-
cliue in the course of necessaries of
life ; which probably equalized to
most workers the apparent wage
lops. The increase in .price this
year is notable in many lines, but
it is probably not yet great enough
to equal - the average advance in
wages in such- industries as iron
and cotton. ; j
No doubt the cry of calamity will
be renewed for political effects in
spite of this, but if the present ac
tivity of business continues, as
there is every reason to think it
will, the politicians who are on the
outside will have to do something
more than groan over the distress
of the country if they hope to get
inside again. ,
A Lion as a Watch Dog.
A young lion, kept in the house
of Frank C. Callahan as a pet, at
tacked and clawed a burglar a few
days ago in Bridgeport, Connecti
cut, The family was awakened by
a roar, quickly followed by a shriek
of terror, the noise of crashing glass
and two or three sounds, as if
a
body was falling. Then all
still. . . .. v .
was
Mrs. Callahan jumped but of
bed and, without stopping to dress,
ran into tbe sitting room, where
the lion sleeps. The king of beasts
stood threshing his tail against his
sides and expanding his huge
mouth and gnashing his teath
Mrs. Callahan called him by name
and patted him coaxingly, saying:
"What's the matter, Claude? ; Did
you have a bad dream?" In the
meantime Mr. Callahan and the
boys were , up and about. : Thev
lighted the gas and found that
burglar had entered by the kitchen
door. He had got as far as the sit
ting room, when Claud sprang at
him. and the thief in his terror
dashed through the wiudow to the
ground outside. A in his fall he
carried away the sash, a rose . bush
and the balustrade and overturn
ed a water hogshead. Bits of the
burglar's clothing hung trom the
window Bash and a large piece o
his clothing was found On the floor
which was evidently torn from the
burglar by Claud. , v
While in Topeka last March, E
T. Uarber, a prominent newspaper

life. Every 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 mav be the means of sav
ing much suffering and perhaps the
life of some member of the family

ware establishments in Eastern Ore
gon, none excepted. Harvest sup
plies, such as drapers, oils and ax
le grease, Can be obtained of him

Twenty Years a Teacher.
Campbellsville, Ky. "I have
been a teacher for twenty years,
and during that time have had re
peated attacks of headache. Now
I am entirely free from them after

never interfered with my school
duties." E. A. Cheek.

LIBERAL BEQUESTS. ,
An Eastern Gentleman Leaves a For
tune to Missions.
At the East Oregon Baptist As
sociation in Pendleton last week
was made an announcement which
caused a large degree of satisfaction
to all members and friends of that
church. Several days ago . there
occurred the death of a wealthy man
in an eastern city, 1 and when the
will was opened for probate, it was
found that $260,000 had been be-;'
queathed to the Baptist missionary
societies, half each to the Home
Missionary society and the Mis
sionary Union. . : ;
Xhis liberality has put the Home
Missionary society out of debt, with
balance of $25,000. The Mis
sionary Union was struggling with
a deficit of $199,000. The legacy
of the liberal gentleman has cut
down ! the indebtness to $G9,000,
and sends encouragement, all along
the line to every one who is con
nected with the Baptist church.
The announcement . of ; tbe be
quest has not been made before and
is not generally known to the
communicants of that denomina
tion or to the public.
Parr's Third Term.
Speaking of the arrival of Henry"
Parr at the stato penitentiary a
Salem paper recounts as follows
the convict's criminal history: This
is Parr's third visit to the peniten
tiary. Febuary 14, 1887, he was
sentenced from Umatilla county
under the name of Henry Tetite,
five years for horse stealing, his
term closing by merit marks on
December 18, 1890. He stayed out
only a year and a , half and was
sent from Uumatilla' county June
22, 1893, for six years under a con
viction of riot. He became an ob
ject of Gov. Pennoyev's clemency
through the recommendation of the
district attorney and was pardoned
out August 9, 1893. He now re
turns and will likely stay his full
time. " . ' . , ....' .
' Way to Keep Out Squirrels. '
. It is wellknown fact that squirrels
will not eat rye, if they can get any
other cereal, and a farmer of this
precinct has taken advantage of
this fact by sowing a strip of rye
srounu uis wneat, wiiu uie rebuilt
that the squirrels failed to go
through tjserye to get to the wheat,
says the Fossil Journal. All the
farmer had to do in order to save
his wheat was to kill the squirrels
already within the field, an easy
task, compared to killing the thou
sands thtit as a rule swarm into
the wheat fields from "adjoining un
titled lands much faster than the
farmors can keep them killed oft.
An Unsolved Problem.

there untouched and almost un
touchable. One gentleman who
was for a long time connected with
a tannery went to the spot. His
stay was brief and his departure
from the leeward Bide of the mass
of animal matter was accelerated
by the vigorous use of whip and
epur. He thinks tanneries are not ,
to bo mentioned in the same breath
with this lot of dead sheep, though
tanneries were heretofore supposed
to pe rar irom agreeabio in
odor. "
It is not yet known what will be
done with the nuisance. At first
the plan was to turn in a big band
of hogs and let them eat the bod
ies, but it is ' doubtful if even a
porker could be ' induced to reside
in that immediate vicinity now.
Died on the Poisoned Strip.
Sheepmen driving their herds
from Whitman county north and
northeast to winter ranges all re
port a more or : less serious loss
from what is known as the poisoned
strip along the southern boundary
of the Spokane, and extending
westward into Adams county. Bell
Poe, who camped near the strip a
few days ago, lost about 40 head,
many of which died on the camp
ground during the night.. The ex
istence and proximate locality of
the strip has been known for sev
eral years. It extends from a point
a few miles northeast of Farming
ton, through Spangle and west al
most to Ritzville, and is from three
to ten miles wide. What it Is that
kills or injures the sheep is pot
known, but it is supposed to be
some kind of grass or weed that
grows along the strip and is not
found in other sections of the country.-

, !' New Money Orders.
Commencing with the fiscal year, "
July 1, the postoffice department
will again change the form of mon
ey order, which was put in use at
the beginning of the present fiscal .
year, and has been found to be too
cumberaome. It adds greatly to
the weight of the letter and is also
considered too large in general form.
The new order will bo in the form
of a bauk draft and about the same
size, so that it-may be put in a let
ter, In a single fold. ; There will be
no change in the block method of
indicating the amount. It is found:
to be the surest protection against
raising the amount that can.be ad
opted. 'Although considered awk-
ward by the public, it is in high
favor with the department.
