VREGUIATOR
Reader, did you ever take Simmons
Liveb Regulator, the "Kino of
Liver Medicines T " Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons.Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole sys
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is better than Pills. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.

WISE HEADS MEET.
Something, May Drop in Connection
With the W. & C. R. R. .
j In referring to the meeting of W.
D. Tyler, president and general
manager of the 0. & W. T., ex
Governor Miles C. Moore, Frank
W. Paine and Paul F. Mohr on the
23d inst. in Tacoma, the Times, of
Seattle, conjectures that the object
of the meeting was to consider
either the disposal of the Hunt
system 6r placing a line of steam
ers on the Columbia, thereby being
independent of either the 0. R, &
N. or Northern Pacific. It says:
. "The Hunt system is owned by
C. B. Wright, who is now in the
east, and Mr. Tyler manager of the
system, has just arrived from the
east. It may be that Mr. Wright
bas been again endeavoring to ef
fect a sale of the road to some
other line. -. Perhaps he has been
again unsuccessful and has adopted
a new tack, lne Hunt system
was offered to the Northern Pacific,
but the figure named was consider
ed much too large, and nothing
was effected. The the O. R. & N,
was approached, but no , sale was
made. It is said that the. North
ern Pacific could not use the road
to advantage, and also that the
O. R. & N. does not need the line;
its own road already taps the Bame
country reached in a lesser way by
the Hunt system. The only pre
sent condition under which the 0.
R. & N; would touch the Hunt
line would be the consideration of
a very low figure sufficiently low
to admit of the buyer, clearing in
terest and a little more besides.
"These conditions now comfort
Mr. Wright, and he probably finds
hi property unsalable. Now, Mr.
Mohr has a portage and steamboat
scheme with the Columbia river as
the basis of his operations. The
Hunt system connects with the
Columbia river at Wallula, and it
may be that the meeting in Taco
ma will result in the formation of
a plan whereby the grain belt tap
ped by the Hunt line will be en
abled by Mohr to ship wheat to
sea without depending on the 0. R.
& N. or the Northern Pacific at all.
In this event, and were the Hunt
line and Mr. Mohr's steamers to
quote a low rate, the combination
would very probably get a big
slice of the Eastern Washington
business. Were such a deal to be
consummated it might force the 0.
R. & N. to buy the road at a satis
factory figure meiely for the pur
pose of getting it out of the way. It
is not at all unlikely that the
meeting between Mr. Mohr, Mr.
Tvler and the others will result in
just such a proposition as has been
out-lined, and.n sucha'dealia mads
will not surprise any one, for" it
has long been foreseen."
Wanted to Be an Editor.
' i a .
A schoolDoys-composition on
"The Editor," ran as follows: "The
editor is one of the happiest ani
mala in the known world. He can
to go the circus, afternoon and even
ing, without paying a cent, also to
inquests and hangings. He bas
free tickets to picnics and straw
berry festivals, gets wedding cake
sent him, and sometimes a licking,
but not often, ' for he tan take
things back in the next issue
which be generally does, i lever
knew only one editor to get lickt.
His paper busted that day, and
he couldn't take nothing bac!:.
"While other folks have to o to
bed early, the editor can it up
late every night and see all that's
gome on. The boys think it
big thing to hang out till 10 o'clock
When I am a man, I mean to be
an editoi, so that lean stay out
nights. Then that will be jbully.
The editor dont have to saw wood
or do aqy chopping, except with
his scissors. Railroads get upexcur
Bionsjforihira, knowing if they don't
he'd make 'em git up and g:t. In
politics he don't care much who
he goes for if they are on his side.
If they ain't h6 goes for 'em any
way, 60 it amounts to nearly the
same thing. There are a great
many people trying .to be editors
who can't see it, though. If I was
asked if I had rather have an edu
cation or be a circus rider, I would
say, let me go and be an editor."
Perhaps You Know Him.
It is said a man who won't buy
a paper because he can borrow one
has invented a machine by which
he can cook his dinner by the
smoke from his neighbor's chim
ney. This same fellow sit? in the
baGk pew in church to save interest
on contributions, and is always
borrowing a ride to town to save
the wear and tear on hinown horse
flesh. Yes, you know him. He's
a first cousin to the man who
never winds up his watch for fear
of breaking the spring. He un
doubtedly was a near relative of
the man who went intb the back
yard during a cold snap last wint
er, soaked his hair in water, let it
freeze, and then broke it off in or
der to cheat the barber out of a
hair cut.- Exchange. ,
A Centenarian. ,
The Grant's Pass Courier has
the following regarding a survivor
of the war of 1812:
Hosea Brown, the only survivor
of the 1812 war on the Pacific coast,
celebrated his 103d birthday at the
home of his grandson, Orr Brown,
near Wilderville, Lane county, on
the 19th of this. month. The old
gentleman was born in New Hamp
shire and came west into Ohio when
about twenty years of age. He was
only some 20 days in actual ser
vice'.in our second war with Johnny
Bull, but the government gives him
$50 a month pension. He has been
helpless now about eight years, and
when Harrison was elected in 1838
Hosea was brought to the polls in a
chair to vote for him, being pre
ceded by a band of music. This was
at Drain in this state. The centen
narian although yery deaf, loves to
talk of old times when he was a
boy and "has a memory as perfect as
in childhood. He was never married
but once, his wife leaving him for
he great beyond at the age of 65,
some 35 years ago. ."
Hunt is All Right.
A gentleman from Corvallis who
was in rortland last week states
that one evening while strolling
down the street his attention was
attracted by an immense crowd on
one of the thoroughfares of the
city. Going to the scene he found
it to be an open-air gospel meeting.
There was nothing unusual about
this, but imagine bis surprise
when the lady who had charge of
the meeting introduced G. W.
Hunt, the railroad contractor, as
speaker of the evening. The Cor
vallis man says he spoke with
much eloquence and feeling, and
was given the closest attention
throughout.
Money From Hoes.
In Eastern Washington during
the past two weeks, says the Day
ton Courier, about 5000 fat bogs
have been purchased by buyers
from Portland, the Sound and the
east, and the demand still contin
ues at from 3 to 31 cents. There
was shipped from Colfax on Friday
last a trainload of .13 cars of hogs
for Chicago. The cars were load
ed at Dayton, two at Starbuck, one
at Jindicott and the rest in the fa
louse country. This industry is be
coming ot groat importance to
Eastern Washington. It is stated
that over $15,000 have been DUt in
circulation in the counties of Whit
man, Columbia, Garfield and Aso
tin during the past three months
from the sale of hogs.

TheO. R,& N. Co., in connec

CHIEF JOSEPH.
The
Unpleasantness of 1877 Brought
to Mind. ,
Newspaper accounts of the Ban
nock uprising in Jackson's Hole
country, brings vividly to the
minds of manv Umatilla countv
residents the days of excitement in
877, when Joseph and his blood
thirsty. band ofNes Perc'es were
making raids and leaving trails of
blood and devastation behind
them. '
Joseph was in Lewiston the other
day and called on the 1 ribune man
who has the following to say of
him :
"Chief Joseph visited Lewiston
Saturday for the first time since
the . unpleasantness of 1877, in
which he was the moving and re-
tv..-T . ii. .l
ponsiDio genius. inuring tnai
ittle excitement Joseph headed
the Nez Perce warriors on the one
side and on the other Ed. McCon-
ville commanded the volunteers,
and was practically governor ot
the state at the same time. Satur
day Joseph and Col. McConville
called together - on the Tribune,
they haying since become firm
friends and admirers. Joseph is
the hereditary and sovereign chief
of the Nez Perce Indians. His
blood is as red as Gen Howard's
is blue arid is as . ardent as Sitting
Bull's or Geronimo's. In 1877
Joseph, then a fiery and impulsive
ad of 22 or 23, had arranged with
the governor to occupy the Wallowa
country, across Snake river from
lewiston, but Uen. Miles insisted
on herding them in a smaller com
pass, and Joseph took the war
path.' His campaign through Nez
erce and Idaho counties is still a
fresh event to many inhabitants of
both. Col. Conville defended the
country with the volunteers, as far
as bis small force permitted, and
ncidentally took a hand in the
scrap whenever he could get there.
Joseph had 250. warriors and the
federal government undertook his
capture with Gen. Howard and
,000 regulars and Gen. Miles with
his troops who advanced irora
Montana. The Indian losses were
trifling, but scores of innocent sol
diers fell in Indian welfare. Jos
eph constantly eluded and puzzled
toward until finally the soldiers
captured and killed 3,000 cayusos
that was the Indians main hope,
and the war was practically over.
ndians can never fight or run on
foot. So Joseph came in ani gave
himself up. The government
first banished him to Yellowstone
park, then to Leavenworth, and
ater to Indian Territory. Nowhere
was he contented. He pined, and
wilted away, and his heart grew
sick and sad for the land of his
kindred and the scenes of his boy
hood. So Joseph was brought
back and placed on the Colville
reservation under , nominal sur
veilance. And though thus very
close to the land of his kindred he
has preferred Id keep just that far
away from certain scenes of bis
boyhood.
Joseph is now fat and bulky and
uncommunicative, except in the
vernacular, which he handles with
ease and volubility. His followers
instead of being banished to Yel
lowstone park, were simply given
red blankets, improved rifles and
the Nez Perce lands which the gov
ernment has ' recently purchased
back from them and which the
whites will soon be scrambling
over, lne volunteers who protec
ted home and families from the
raid of Joseph's band still have
their claims pending settlement be
fore the ' congress of the United
States. Joseph will remain in
camp near the Lapwai Industrial
bchool a few days longer, or as
the races last, before returning to
the Colville reservation. He is
very anxious for Col. McConville
to return with him and take charge
of the school there."
DEHORNING.
A Writer In Live Stock Report Gives
His Views.
"Dehorning" in 'America or
"Dishorning" in Great Britain is
a subject that has received wide at
tention during late years. The
immense benefit of this process to
feeders, though to cattlemen gen
erally. is well known. We do not
at this time intend entering into
,the subject at all extensively or
treating of the methods, out mere
ly desire to say a word , as to the
effect dehorning has upon the sale
ff w
of cattle. This refers, more par
ticularly, to cattle grazed in and
shipped from-the great pastures of
the stales in the west .The subject
is again brought to our attention
by reason of the fact that a few
days ago we handled a bunch of
prime beeves from Ohio and that
hooked one another very badly,
greatly injuring the sale of the
stock.
In order Co accomplish the best
results the cattle must be dehorned
when within a year old. They
then readily recover from its effects.
If they are dehorned at two or
three-year olds they lose flesh un
der it, their energy dies down, and
it is almost impossible to get them
in good shape for marketing. Then
late dehorning is most painful to
the stock, which accounts for their
losing flesh and vitality under it, -and
is an inhuman practice. The
horns should bo removed while
etill soft; the operation is then a
practically painless one to the ani- '
mal.. The topic is timely at this
season of the year and is too im
portant to neglect. Buyers in the
yards can hardly be induced to
look at beeves that have goujed
and hooked one arother. There
is no doubt that it affects the
slaughtering of the cattle mater
ially. ' ' !
Sad Accident.
Esther, the four-year-old daugh
ter of A. B. Jones, of Walla Walla
procured matches in the house,
went into the back yard where she
lighted them igniting her clothing.
The child's screams brought the
mother to the rescue. A blanket
was thrown about the child and
the cruel flames smothered, but
not -until the little one was burned
to a crisp. Tho sad accident oc
curred Wednesday, of last week.
The child died the next morning,
Grasshoppers in Morrow County.
The grasshoppers are bad in
Morrow county. Frequent reports ;
of their ravages have come from ;
the dryer and less favored portions
of the county, and now it seems
they have reached the neighbor
hood between lone and Gooseberry
where good crops of grain and vege
tables are the rule. In that vicin
ity the grain is too far along to be
seriously damaged and will make
a good yield, but the grasshoppers
have taken everything green, in-
I eluding the leaves from the trees,
and it is feared that they will kill
fruit and perhaps the troes them
selves. ; .
The Placers of Canyon Creek. .
The Placer mines of Canyon
creek, Marys ville andPrairy dig
gings have produced one-half of the
gold taken out of different placers
f - .1- - . . An rrvrt rrn
in me county, or over z,ouu,vw.
Canyon creek is credited with
$2,000,000 as its " output. Over
4,000 men were employed in 18ff4
on the creek. With the exception
of the Humboldt mines no hydraul
ic mining bas been done, the
work consisted of stripping off the
ground to within two feet of the
bedrock, says the Grant county
News. The remaining gravel was
wheeled into sluice boxes and wash
ed. Wages were"$5 per day, and
nothing but the richest parts of
the creek worked, The east side of
creek below Canyon City was not
considered rich enough and has not
been worked. The dirt stripped off
varied in depth from 8tol6JJfeet, all
of which prospects well. It is
claimed by all of the old timers
yet residing in the county that not
one-half of the gold has been taken
out of the creek.
Americans in Bad Company.
It has developed that a police
raid was made upon the the Palace
club, London, recently. A number
of prominent Americans were
caught in the raid. The club is
one of several fashionable night
clubs in London were the demi
mond resort. It opens at midnight
and closes at 6 a. m. Lately the
Palace has been very riotous. The
club ia elogantly appointed, having
twenty-five men servants and a
band playing nightly"
A hundred men and women, all
in evening dress, were captured.
Among them were a United States
senator, a congressman, a promi
nent law official of an eastern state
and an American police official.
All savetheproprietor and servants
of the club, who were remandod,
were released.
