Everybody needs take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or diseased liver that impairs digestion and causes constipation, when the waste mat enouia do carried otr remains in the body and poisons the whole system. That dull, heavy feeling 1b due to a torpid liver, iuiiousness, Headache, Malaria and Indigestion are all liver diseases. Keep the liver active by an occasional dose or aimmona Liver Reg ulator and you'll cret 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. Every package has the Bed Z stamp on tne wrapper. J. H.

Sometime ago the Press pub lished a number of letters .from Eastern millers and grain buyers. They were letters of inquiry to C. W. Hollis, of this city, regarding last years crop, as to quantity and price. Mr. Hollis is again the re cipient of letters regarding this year's crop, price, etc. If the proper efforts were made in the right direction, at least such is the opinion of many of our lead ing wheat producers, a large a raount of this year's crop would find its way through the rolls of Eastern mills, at a considerably advanced price over that which the present market anords. ; ' ; FROM KANSAS CITY. ' .1 Kansas City, Mo. Aug 8 Mr. C. W. Hollis: We wrote you in May in reference to handling some of your wheat, but inasmuch as you intimated your stocks ol wheat were about exhausted, we let the matter drop. The Kansas crop has turned out even worse than we expected and we already have more orders for wheat than we can fill, Kindly advise us as to the situa tion in your vicinity,, and write us fully as to quality and probable amount you will have for shipment. We are desirous of effecting an ar rangement with someone who will furnish quotations to be received here at 1 p. m. good for acceptance about the same time next day. This would enable us to submit prices to our trade on a very close margin and likely result in a vol ume of business profitable at both ends. If you think favorably of an arrangement of this kind please write at once and state when your crop will be ready to move. Await ing your reply, we are, Yours very truly, B. C.

It was 10:35 o'clock Friday be fore Judge Parkes again faced prisoners, counsel and curious spectators, says the Eaet Oregonian lie had arrived at a decision in the most important case which has oc cupied the attention of this city since Monday, when Frank Whet stone and Steward Moore were ar rested under the heinous chargn of the murder of Clacking. All night the magistrate had consid n d the matter, and had weighed t. . testi mony. He could not hold t .. men to the grand jury. There v. i not one scintilla of evidence c meet ing the accused with thec.' ;ieof murder at the Transfer ho ...s, so he turned them loose. As the welcome words ame from the lips of the judge, het- stone and Moore arose and ferven tly grasped the hands of W. M. Pierce and G. P. Rosenberg, their counsel, and without a word, ex pressing, by their looks and the pressure of the hand grasp, their gratitude, moved into the room back of the court room away from the sight of the hundreds of cur ious eyes which had gazed on them as- suspected murderers half a week. N. S. Whetstone, father of Frank, pressed forward and shook his boy's hand and then those of Moore and the counsel. The crowd filed out. . Among the hundreds of comments not one was heard which was in the nature of censure for turning the boys loose. Every one commend ed the court. It was pronounced a righteous decision, and Judge Parkes was given a name furnish ed by Shakespeare "A Daniel come to judgmenta righteous judge.' arrested for gambling It was immediately announced that warrants would be issued for the arrest of all parties to the affair, who were in the testimony Bhown to have been engaged in gambling. The defense had found it neceesa-r y to admit that the defendants had gambled both in Pendleton and at Lehman Springs, so that the gamb ling cases would naturally be un contested. It was understood that seven men were on the list. Whet stone, Moore, Bob Means, Wallace Crosby, Green Est'e's, Geo. Whita ker were named by the defense as having been' in gambling games and it was aupposed that all these men will be arrested, Bob Means and Geo, Whitaker were placed under arrest and gave $75 bonds each to appear before the grand jury. Whetstone and Moore were also arrested and have not yet put up the required bonds. So Says the Law. ' In the session laws of 1895 is a law approved February 25. 1885, which limits the number of wit ; nesses in criminal cases to four for each side, excepting when the county judge gives permission to subpoena more, for good reason shown. Section 1 leads : "That hereafter, in all criminal proceedings had before any magis trate in this state, the defendant and the state may each subpoena four witnesses and no more, pro vided, that the countv judge of the county where such proceedings may be pending may, for good cause shown, make an order allow ing a great number of witnesses to be subpoenaed by either party, in which event, said witnesses may attend and be paid as now provi ded by law, and provided, that this act shall not be construed to pre vent any reason or persons from voluntarily attending, and testify ing before any such magistrate, but they shall not be paid by the coun ty where such proceedings are pending." ...... 1 his law, though not known to legal profession, has probably never been known to exist by the goneral public, Judge Martin 'says it will be enforced hereafter with greater care; ASock Dolager." A few weeks aco a voune man from McEweek bought a pair of socks containing a note saying the writer was an employe of the Ken osha, Wis., knitting works and wanted a good husband. She gave her name, and requested the buyer, if unmarried, to write with a view of matrimony. The young man who found the note considered the matter in all its phases, and then decided to write to the girl. He did. Awaiting with anxiety, he was at last rewarded with a curt letter, stating that the girl was the mother of two children, and had been married four years, and the letter bad been written ever so long. It was a "sock-dolagar," and the young man hunted for a solution. He found it. The merchant of whom he bought the socks doesn't advertise. Baker City Democrat. Jackson's Hole. Since the Jackson's Hole coun try has been so well advertised it is well to remember that it was a place well known to the early pio neer, says the Inter Ocean. It was directly on the, trail made by Drs. Whitman, rarker and Hpaulding in 1835 and 1836. . Dr. Parker in his history written in 1838, des cribes the place by name and tells of its surroundings at that time. It thus happens that Jackson's Hole is one of the oldest places on the map. n "npenntendent O'Brien was at I; - .- City Wednesday making ar- t: i; -nia for the construction of a - pot to take the place of the on ,ei-troyed by fire. It is giveu oat that the new depot will be on more extensive scale than the old one and it is to be built right away. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report WANTS TO ORGANIZE Chairman King Talks to the County Populist3 AN ACCIDENT AT DAYTON. Will Pay Nothing-To Stop Depre dationsThey Resisted. Pendleton. Oregon, Aug. J2, '95. To populists of Umatilla county: The time is near when we will be called upon to reorganize in every precinct of the county for the campaign of 1995-96, As shall have Hon. A. Vincent, of Indiana, to deliver a number of his famous illustrated lectures at different points in the county in September, it occurs to me that it would be a capital idea to open it with a pop uliBt campmeeting at some central point in the county. We can se cure a number of good speakers, besides Mr. Vincent, who will come and deliver one or more speeches during the week. At Waco, Texas, the populists held a campmeeting and had from day to day an average attendance of 10,000 people each day. . A place caa be secured where good camping and free wood and water are abundant. I would like to hear from each rcember of the County central committee, as well as from every populist who has his own interest and his country's in terest at heart. Write me immed iately and make suggestions as to the practicability and advisability of holding a campmeeting about the 15th or 20th of September. ', Geo. W. King, ' Assistant Chairman, P. P. Cen tral Committee. .' A Dayton Accident. A terrible accident occurred at Dayton on Sunday an account of which is given in the Courier as follows: On Sunday evening Mr. Will H. Cantrill, who was working with Mr. Aleck . Price's threshing outfit on George Freeman's place, was moving the large traction en gine from the house to the field, lie had reached top of a high hill and changed the gearing from slow to fast motion and had thrown the lever backwards when he slipped and fell between the platform board and firo-box. In falling he naturally held on to the lever, which' reversed the engine, and down the hill it went at a teriflic speed. Mr. Cantrall was held in his perilous position as if in a vice. The big machine dashed through one fence, tearing the wires as if they were threads; then on down it rolled to the foot of the hill, where it struck another fence, turned completely over and stop ped. This released the unfortun ate man, but his right leg had been crushed in a fearful manrer above the ankle. From what can be learned from the injured man there was a coil of hose lying be neath the foot-board in which his foot caught and was held until re leased by the overturning of the machine. It was found by physi cians that the right leg was broken in two places and the man badly bruised. At last reports he was m proving. WILL PAY NOTHING. Insurance Companies Deny Liability on Contents of Transfer House. a. B. Broomell, adjuster, has served formal notice' on Rees Hey cock, proprietor of the Transfer House, that the companies which carried insurance on the contents of the hotel will deny liability says the East Oregonian. The language of the note is: "The reason for denial of liabili ty is that gasoline was used, kept and stored in the premises contain ing the property described in the policy in violation of the conditions of the policy." Inquiry as to whether such de nial of liability in line with prece dent, it was learned that the uni versal rule in all companies is to prohibit the keeping of gasoline on nsured premisen. When policy iolder desires to keep and use gaso line, he must secure a special per mit, paying an additional premium. Facts as to whether gasoline was used in the Transfer hoUse are not denied by the proprietor, who says he was accustomed to use it, in re novating the rooms. It was not clearly estnblished that there was gasoline in the waste room, where the fir$ started, on the night of the fire, but it is asser ted that even though there was none in the room at the time, if it was the custom' to keep it in the house, it would invalidate the pol icy. . . ... ' The amount of the insurance was $3100 Home Mutual, $800; Cale donian, $1100; London Assurance Corporation, $500; National of Hartford, $600. Mr. Broomoll was representing all four companies on this loss. WILL STOP DEPREDATIONS. United States Attorney Murphy to Bring Ejectment Suits. The position of the government in the timber depredations . cases which have been brought against a dozen or so settlers in the Blue mountains on the Umatilla reser vation, was given by D. R. Mur phy, United States District attor- ney, as follows, says the EaBt Qre gonian: . "The squatters or settlers in question who have committed the trespass complained of, settled upon the lands of the old reserva tion, and cut about 2000 cords of wood during the present season, and have been hauling wood to Pendleton and selling the 'same at $3 per cord, the former pric6 of wood being $5 per cord. The cases examined into disclosed the tact that the defendants acted in good faith and undertook to acquire title to lands squatted upon; but inas much as they were withdrawn from the market, they had no right thereon and are to be deemed un der the law as trespassers. If their offenses, however, were con doned, others would take advantage of it, and the entire belt of timber on the old reservation would soon be stripped. "It is my purpose," continued Mr. Murphy, "to see that the par ties complained of shall stop cut ting timber, and I intend to bring a suit against one or- more of the squatters for the purpose of eject ing them. ' I will also ascertain, if possible the party or parties who fmrchased the wood from the land n question and institute a civU suit to recover the value thereof. In cast) the government is success ful in the laut.mentioned action, the consumers of wood in that vic cinity will not buy thoir supply of fuel from the squatters or settlers, and their market will thereby be destroyed, and there will bo no further incentive for other squat ters to settle upon these govern ment lands for the purpose of de nuding them of the valuable tim ber to their own pecuniary benefit." The Farmers Resisted. A judgment was obtained in the justices court at Oakeedale against Ilowe Bros., farmers, and an exe cution was issued on 300 sacks of oats. Fearing trouble, the consta ble placed three men to guard them last night. At midnight, the guards were called upon by 25 men all armed with Winchester rifles, and shotguns, and told to lenve. They left at once. The oats were then hauled off, two four-horse loads being found five miles north, and the same amount the same distance south of theplace These were secured. No arrests have been made. This is the second cane of armed resistance guards on crops in Whitman county. Tussel With a Besr. P. D. Holcomb, of the Klamath last week, while milking in a car rol near home, noticed that the cows acted strangely, and looking for the cause, discovered a cub bear calmly sauntering into the car rol. Mr. Holcomb, who is a wrest ler of some note, gave chaso, and after a short tussle, in which his clothes suffered considerably, he succeeded in getting a firm hold on his bearships neck, in which man ner he carried it to the houso and desposited him in an empty room. The bear was three months old, and since its capture has become quite tame. Mr. Holcomb has him in training for a wrestler.
