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.

MADE OF OREGON PINE TREES.
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.

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.

MILLET AND THE HARVESTERS.
Th ArtUt Could Swlnf Soytba with

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

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.
