EE SUEE YOU SEE THEM BEFORE DAVID TAYLOR, AGENT, GIMMOIf S reguiatob7 Reader, did you ever take Simmons Liver Regulator, the "King op Liver Medicines ? ' ' 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 doll, 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 lied Z stamp on the wrapper. J. II.

Frointhe Walla Wa'ltiMatoKniau The union of Char les Tom, the Chinese gardener, and DollTe MM ler, the white girl, mentioned in Friday's Statesman, was consum mated at 7:30 of that'evening, be ing witnessed by a few gentleman including a reporter, all of whom were specially invited by the groom. Ott McKenzie loaded up his crowd about 6:30 last night and a start was made for Mr Fuller's fruit and vegetable ranch about two miles from the. city; ' arriving ' there the bride and groom were found at their future home all expectancy for the invited guests, and more than likely, especially so, for the preacher, Mr. Fancher, of the M. E. church south. The groom pass ed the cigars as a preliminary and nearly every visitor was soon puff ing the aroma (?) into the air, and it is said that there is not a live potato bug in that vicinity this morning, The Statesman reporter during the interval before the .cere mony interviewed the bride. she said she had met Charles' Tom about three months ago, but i at that time was not particularly attracted .to him. "The first time his face and . form captivated me was about a week ago when I vis- I ited his place with one of Staple ton's children, I had been staying at Stapleton'p for about three weeks doing his housework. Yes, I got stuck on him then and he began to make love to me and proposed. I accepted and intend to stick to Charley through thick and thin until death." "You know it is rather an odd wedding and you are among the few to marry Chinamen," said'the reporter. . , "Yes, but when a girl wants a man she wants mm; no rrauer whether a Chinaman or any other nationality. I can be happy here with Charley to love," she said as she looked around at the bare board walla and floors of the little three roomed frame house. The reporter involuntary sized up the house, and the following in ventory was the result: A bed stead, antique pine board; the same bedstead and more antique -pine boards; a few bed clothes very an tique, and the bride. ' . Charley was asked if he and his bride were going to take a wedding trip. He Baid that after the busy season, . "me ketch him wifefi He',6tated that he had wealthy rel atives in that city. All being readv for the service the bride and groom were "lined up" by Rev. Fancher on the front porch and by tne dim light of a candle, an old oil lamp, and the smiling countenance of the moon the odd .couple were pronounced man and wife amid the silence of the few spectators and the growling acquiescence of Ott McKenzies Spaniel pup. No one kissed the bride, not even the preacher, and there were no congratulations offered. In fact, no time was given for any, because the smiling groom hustled the bride on into the house and out oi sight, whither she stayed the remainder of the evening. Two Chinamen ar rived about this time with two kegs of beer and some chairs, and sever al of the boys regaled themselves on hop iuice, and after a few more "slegars" had been puffed away the party returned to the city. It was learned today that several hackloads of sports made a visit to the newly married couple later in itio night and disturbed the peace- fulness of the quiet neighborhood in the vicinity of Mr. Fuller's fruit ranch. GRADES FOR GRAIN. Standard Established by the Wash ington Grain Commission. The Washington state grain com mission has about completed the work of establishing grades for the various kinds of grain, and formu lating the rules and regulations governing the inspection and grad ing of grain.

The Miltonian, Milton's new pa per, is authentically informed by a voung man of that town that he accidently discovered an illicit etil in the mountains above Milton. ' Under the influence of the liquor, which the .young man said was very much like that made at Wes ton distillery, the men. operating it soon became communicative aqd told hi m all the secrets of their "in dustry;" v They . had been opera ting about a year and could , make about eight gallons of good corn whisky a day, which they disposed of to unscrupulous Walpt Walla dealers. Ihe corn tfiey purchased in Walla Walla and curried to their cabin, about five miles from the etill. on pack horses. From the cabin it was transported to the stil "by hand?' iu order that no tell tale trail might lead to an investi gation that would be sure to prove disastrous to them. A Hen Mothers a Kitten. Fred W. Hendley has opportun lty tor a , Btudy ot the curious in natural history, says the E. 0 Recently an old hen took a notion that a kitten which was around the woodshed needed a mother s care, and that it was her duty to adopt it. This she did, and appears to take as tender care of the young feliiie as though it had feathers and was a member of the biped family. She has now devoted hereself to the little kitten for several days, and covers it at night as she would a chicken. The kitten enjoys it, too, evincing no desire to desert its queer protector. A Timely Reminder. Each season forces upon our con. sideration its own peculiar perils to health. The advent of fall finds many reduced in strength and vig or, poorly prepared to continue the business of life. The stomach and bowels, are especially liable to dis order in the fall. The nervous 6ystem has also suffered in the struggle. Typhoid and malaria in particular find that in the fall that combination of earth, airand water that mark this season as eepicially dangerous. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the safeguard at all these import ant points Ayer's Hair Vigor tones up the weak hair roots, stimulates the ves sels and tissues which supply the hair with nutrition, strengthens the hair itself, and adds the oil which keeps the shafts soft, lus trous, and Bilky. The most popu lar and valuable toilet prepared in the world. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Li VV 11 ROAD BUSINESS. County Court Desires More Care in Handling It. It is the intention of the Uma tilla county court to look , more carefully after road business and see to it that supervisors and all interested give heed to transact it in proper manner. With thi3 end in view, the court has promulgated these suggestions to road petition ers: "Road notices must be posted in public places in view of the pub lic. , "The affidavit of posting notices must show where and how postod, to-wit: Tacked on a board secure ly nailed to a tree, ! stump, or log or.fence post, naming its kind, at the point ot beginning, ; "Give the number of inches,. feet, yards, rods, furlongs or miles from the true starting point, and the di rection therefrom. "Too much care cannot be taken in the preparation of road papers the petition, copies of the petition, the bond and the affidavit of post ing notices and if any one paper be omitted the court has ; no juris diction." Mongoli&n Pheasants. O. White received eleven of the beautiful Mongolian or "Den ny" pheasants, and they are on ex hibition in the front window of the Boston Store. Many persona have stopped to admire the birds, and especially the sportsmen are seen standing before them, impatient for the time to come when they can go forth and slay a bagful of Chi nese pheasants. But this willnot be for Bometime yet,-as the game law protects Mongolian pheasants ?uring the entire year in Eastern Oregon, and will do so until birds have become common and have spread over the whole country, These birds are to be turned loose on the Raley and Fanning ranches in a tew days. ft. U. Dalles Firemen Insulted. The Dalles sent a hose team to the Vancouver fireman's tourna ment and when they returned, a big banquet was given them. The next day The Dalles Chronicle re marked that the hose team was home again and "we regret exceed ingly to learn that their treatment at Vancouver was much worse than at first thought. We were dispos ed to look upon the apparent neg lect of our boys as more of a neg lect than intentional slight, but the evidence forces , us to beliove that the Vancouverites forgot their duty as hosta, and deliberately insulted the people they had invited to their city". Collection of Fruit. Harve Whiteman is the latest donater of fruit to the Press force. Among the collection which he brought in were fine specimens of the "Golden Drop" plums, the "German" and the genuine Iowa wild plum just like the ones we used to steal when a kid. Then there were some big blackberries that were, like the balance of the fruit, raised without irrigation. Two varieties of pears and a branch Italian prunes also gave silent ev idence of what a "dry ranch" will do in the way of producing fruit. Did you ever think that you can not have good health without pure blood? Health comes by the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla. "because it makes the blood pure. Hood's Pills have won high praise for their prompt and effici ent yet easy action. " free. . .

The strong box belonging to the estate of Mrs. Kendall, late of Cor- vallis,' was officially inspectpd ' in that city last Thursday, says the Corvallis Times. Tho box was full of papers most of them dim and yellow with age. lhere were wheat receipts for years agone, tax receipts from away back, and mortgages that had been long ago cancelled, and there was a yellow old note with a government stamp in the corner, such as all notes used to wear in war times. Interes in what was coming out of the old box kindled when from a pile of old re ceipts the administrator fiBhed out a county order for $300, dated Dec. 1890, worth at this time about $418 and along with this discovory, be-j sides a license to . sell spirituous liquor, came a colonel's commission, lifting J. S. Kendall from private life to colonel of Oregon volunteers. It was signed by John W. Davis, territorial governor of Oregon, and bore date of July 12, 1854. . These finds, after further delving in a pile of old receipts and cancelled mortgages, were followed by the discovery of a certificate for $500" deposited with the First National bank, Corvallis, June 19, 1894, and this is .all there was of interest in tho strong box of the dead woman: Tho search was not in vain, for it unearthed and added $918 to the valuation of the estate. Oregon Whito Winter Wheat. On the Hay field ranch, noar Farrnington, was harvested this season a crop of Oregon white win ter wheat, which is a now variety in this section of the country. The stubble is two feet high and very thick and course. The headed grain in the stacks is as long aa ordinary bound grain. When it was standing it was as high as a moderately long man. When cut ting it the header was sot as high as possible, yet it could elevate a little more than half a swath. Administrators and Executors. County Judge Martin has issued a notice to administrators and ex ecutors, warning them to observe:, the state law governing the filing of reports. Many administrators have been very careless and negli gent, and not a fow have failed to render accounts within the time allowed by law. 'Judge Martin in tends to put a stop to this, and may cite some of these derelict offi cers to appear and show cause for their neglect. ...
