VREGULATOR Reader, did you ever take Simmons Liver Regulator, the "Kino of Liver Medicines?" Everybody needs take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish 9r 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. Every package has the Red Z stamp on the wrapper. J. II.

The State Supplies Span for the i ';..; ' Yscht Defender. 'J it my surprise many Oregon ians to know that the new spars of the yacht Defender are from this 6tate. The Boston Globe, of the 24, says. . "The massive stick of the Oregon pine which will replace those re cently in position upon the cup defender, and which it is confident ly asserted are of sufficient strength to withstand the strength of any breeze upon her huge sail area, were carried across the city of Bos ton .'yesterday on a logging truck without exciting any-unusual com ment. . : - "At the freight yard of the N. Y., N. H. & R. railroad at Park square, where the purpose for which they were made was known, they were objects of great interest. Little knots of freighthandlers and offic ials gathered about the special train upon which they were loaded with expedition immediately upon their arrival, inspected the timbers, and exchanged conjectures as to their power, strength and cost, and upon the outcome of the cup races, the all-absorbing1 topic "The spars, the larger one which is intended for the mainmast, and it3 smaller companion, .which will be shaped into the topmast, were loaded upon a train of four long flat cars, and rested in a cradle especi ally prepared for their reception. After being firmly chocked and chained .into position, and every portion that rested upon the wood en frames carefully protected from injury by rubbing or friction by padding or mats, the order to go ahead was given, and at 5:04, p. m. the cars rolled out of the station for a fast run to Bristol. ' '"The spars were furnished by the Boston Spar Company, of EaBt Boston. The sticks are of selected Oregon pine, carefully . inspected and chosen for that particular fit ness for the work for which they are intended. ' The largest spar measured slightly over 90 feet in hngth, and looked fully two feet in diameter." The Indian and Money. Fully 100 Nez Perce Indians have visited Lewiston in the past two days, and they are scattering their money everywhere. They are purchasing wagons, buggies, hacks, harness, and American horses. Although there are thous ands of cayuses on the reservation, the Indians hanker after white men's animals, and are getting the best money can buy. The stores are doing a rushing business and present a Fourth of July appear ance. Trinketfi and bright colored articles of every diBcription find a ready sale, and there is no haggling about the price. 1 One of the interesting and ludi crous sight of. today was a family of Indians in a carriage newly purchased. , The squaw put in the afternoon buying provisions, while her liege lord improved his oppor tunity by buying a full grown jag. Thesquaw went after her better half, loaded him on the back seat and up main street the carriage proceeded, the buck yelling like a cauiope au me way. , WHAT TQ WEAR. A Few Hint About Fall and Winter Furs. Most of the ladies about this time of the year are giving consid erable thought to the fashion for fall and winter wear. Of course, every lady is interested in furs, how they will be worn and what will be the prevailing style. Furs will be very popular this year, and judging by the advance plates and catalogues which have already been issued, the style will take a wide range, and will be suitable for all ages and figures. "Capes will be worn more than ever before, and will be cut extra full, with a sweep of from 100 to 140 inches, and broad over, the shoulders. -They will be generally cut from 20 to 25 inches in length from the neck, and about four yards iu width, so that they will hang gracefully in ruffles, the colors being very high and made with five points. All capes will be made very full, which is a. necessity owing to the large sleeves which will be worn this winter.. Jackets will also be fashionable, and will very in length from 23 to 26 inches, the two most fashionable styles being "The Trilby," which will be very popular, and is made of either seal, astrachan, otter or beaver. It is doobl breasted, loose front, rolling collar and lapels, Prince Albert coat backand full sleeves, and "The Meteila" double breagted. loose front, 24 to 26 inch es long, high, square rolling collar, with full sleeves. In capes the "Anna" is the latest novelty, and will be extremely fashionable. It has a full pleated, double cape, cut with round yoke, the lower cape forming full pleat over the shoulders. The length will be from 20 to 22 inches, with a sweep from 120 to 140 inches. The "Fidelio," another great nov elty, is from 18 to 20 inches long, and will be made of seal, Persian, astrachan and other furs, and trim med with Thibet, chinchilla, mar ten and bear edging. The body is cut with epaulettes and seperate sleeve parts. The most fashionable furs will be wool seal, electric seal, deer and beaver, also a new fur, which is known as "Wallaby," being a very rich brown, and is in great demand. Neck boas will be worn more than ever before, and some of the latest designs are unique and very at tractive. Cloaks will be trimmed with Japanese bear, silver fox and marten. ' An Early Morning Stroll. Walla Walla by dawn of day light in the vicinity of Main street presents some new and novel sights to the uninitiated, says the States man. Morphine and cocaine fiends .may be seen Btaggering along in a dejected manner with faces devoid of expression on their way to "jag, joints to take a "shot;" and in a few minutes they may be seen again upon the street with radiant faces wending their way home wardprobably to some bunk in an alley the shot had been taken. Poor deluded, and to be pitied, creatures, within whom there is a craving that will not be quieted, sneak along ever on the . alert to shy clear of the police, and after the drug is taken feel equal to, if not superior, to the most honored and wealthiest man in the land. Declared Insane. John Berg, a prisoner in the county jail, was declared insane and committed to the aBylum by iounty juage martin, xaie in July, Berg was convicted of larceny and sentenced to a teim in prison. One week ago he manifested symp toms of insanity. His hallucina tion was that a black cat, repre senting the wife of a ship captain with whom he once sailed, was fol lowing him and would kill him. So strongly did this delusion take possession of his mind, that he would not sleep at night. -. , ' About Right. An exchange says that an editor will go to some merchant and ask them for an ad. when they will remark that it does not pay; that no one reads his , paper. Some night shortly after let the man be caught kissing his neighbor's wife, or trying to keep a lamp post per pendicular, and if the printing of fice is in the garret of a seventeen story building he will climb to the top to beg the editor to keep qu5et don't publish it in the paper, you know. ! How It Turns Out. The Rev. J. C Reed, who ac quired notoriety in connection with an attempt of bank robbery in East Portland and was afterwards placed in the insane asylum, will be discharged in a few days for an unsual cause. Superintendent Paine and other officials at the ar ylum, after discussing his case thoroughly, state that he has given no evidence of insanity since his reception at the asylum, hence he will be discharged not" .as "im proved" or. "cured," but as a sane man. Luna's Face Was Hidden. There wag a total eclipse of the moon on the evening of Sep tember 3. The moon ' rose just about sunset, and shortly after ward appeared to enter the pen umberal fringe which surrounds the obaque shadows of the earth and at 8 o'clock touched the dresser shadow. Sixty-seven min utes later the entire disc of the moon ; disappeared. FastTime. Two trains had a race from Lon don, Eng., to Aberdeen. Scotland, recently on competing roads. The distance is 530 miles; one made it in 512 minutes and the other in 540 minutes. This Included four stops. On either of these roads there t isv not a grade or crossings. That is coming close to flying. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report if f FOUR MONTHS TO REDEEM. Old Contracts Not Effected by the New Mortgage Law. For some time past, says the Pendleton Tribune, there has been a great deal of controversy regard ing the time allowed for the re demption of land sold under ex ecution and foreclosure proceedings. Sheriff Houser has held that on all, mortgages entered into prior to the passage of the new law, the re demption prior would expire four months from the confirmation of the 6ale as prescribed in the old law. This interpretation was dis- fiuted by local parties and Sheriff louser therefore sent the following letter of inquiry to Sheriff Sears, of Multnomah countv: "I am informed, that upon the question of the redemption period from execution and foreclosure sales, which period was by the late legislature extended from' four months to one year. Judge Shat tuck has decided that the law can not apply to contracts entered into before the passage of the law; that is to say, in the case of mortgages, any mortgages which were execut ed before the passage of the law last winter, would come under the old law. and the redemption period expire in four months from date of confirmation of sale." In yesterday's mail Sheriff Hou ser received the following reply from Sheriff Sears, under date of Portland, August 31: "I am giving deeds of all prop erty "sold under foreclosure that was of record prior to the passage of the new law, after four months, that it has been decided that the law only applies to mortgages re corded since the passage of the new law." ., YELLOW AND WHITE. A Chinese of Wat la Walla Wedded a . White Woman. . A Chinese was seen bustling around today endeavoring to get some one to swear that his lady love, a white woman, was of- mar rigeable age, says the Walla Walla Statesman. He wr4 all excite ment, and as nervous as any Am erican youth. He is known by the euphonious name of Charles Tom. and the maiden's name, he stated is Miss Dollie Miller. Miss Miller is a very pretty blonde, and seems as anxious for the union as the Chinaman. The young lady he informed the reporter, had moved out to his place, near the city, to day with all her belongings. Mr. Tom has a few acres of land rected from H. V. Fuller, and raises veg etables for a living,, and believes the profits therefrom are sufficient to maintain himself and partner. He said his fair lady told him that "Chinaman belly good man, and heap good," and also that "she mallee me light away." The hap py couple will be married at Char ley Tom's vegetable farm at 8 o'clock this evening. Several per sons and the reporter of the States man have been invited to witness the ceremony, and Tom stated that he "catchee some heap good sligar for the malliage." Later in the afternoon Samuel R. Cole holned the Chinaman out of his difficulty by swearing that mss Miner was of marriageable age. and Charle3 went awav reioic- ing with the license, after securing the services of Rev. Fancher, of the M. E. church South, to tie the knot. Both Getting Well. Drs.

C-' MILLET AND THE HARVESTERS. Th ArtUt Could Swlnf Soytba with th Bwt of Ihnm. Pierre Millet, a younger brother of the painter of the "Angelus," describes the artist's life at Borbizon, in Century. When it was harvest-time, he would ( uireu icu we way to me places wnere he hoped to see the harvesters at work. When we were at a little distance from them, he would stop. "See," he would say; "all their movements count There is nothing done uselessly. No tice, too, how well the light strikes them and absorbs all the little details, till there remain only the stronger ac cents of shade which define here and there the luminous masses. The light of the plain is entirely different from that of the studio, where it enters only by a window. It is something of which a good many painters who never go out of Paris have no idea." It sometimes happened that these harvesters would notice that we were observing them, and some of the band would say to the others: 'See these Parisians who are looking at us. I should like to see them do our work. It is another thing to hold pencils, hey?" Francois once said to them: "Ah, what you do is very difficult, is it not?" v . . .. "If you Wish to try It, you will find out," replied one. "Here, take- my scythe." This did not disturb Francois. He took the scythe and began to cut the wheat with an ease and skill superior to theirs. They did not watch him . long before they exolatmed: "Ah, monsieur, it is not the first time you hate done this workl You do it better than we." Continuing our walk, we cam upon other objects of artistic interest. These were people binding the wheat into sheaves, and others loading the carts, and transporting the sheaves to the place where they were piling them in huge stacks. Francois watched this with great eagerness, saying to me: "See the grand movements of the men who lift the sheaves on their pitch- ' forks, to give them to those who are on the stacks. It is astonishing, to ward the approach of night, how grand everything on the plain appears, especially when we see figures thrown out against the, sky. Then they look llltA flriftntn" ASSUAGED BY PRIDE. ' A Or let that fit Overome bf m hauol Bains' Honoiwd. Many of the old country emigrants do not wish to give up their castle servility when they reach this demo cratic country, says the New York Times. The young wife of a man who has extensive coal interests in Penn sylvania told some friends the other day of a recent experience in this re gard. Soon after she reached her new home, among her husband's mines, the child ef a French "digger" died. Her husband, as was his custom, sent for the bereaved, parent to offer any assist ance under ,the sad circumstances. "There is nothing I want," said the man, "only," and he fumbled his hat, "that milady should come to the funeral. If this will happen the grief, , which I have to lose my child will be lightened in the honor which I shall have to write to my parents in France that milady was there." Such touching deference, of course, was recognised, and "milady" went down to the little cottage on the day of the funeral. When she went in the father sat with bowed head at the had of the coffin. ilia eyes, however, were furtively watching the door, and the instant she appeared he stopd up. A look of pride that he could not conceal spreadrvver his face. With great respect he con ducted her to his own place and she sat there, the man standing motionless at her aide through the service. s,' ' OtUkrtUd bf BoldlaiM.
