Everybody needa take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or diseased liver that impairs digestion and causes constipation, when the waste that should bo 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 laxativa Simmons Liver Regulator is better, than Pills. It does not gripo, nor weaken, but greatly refreshes and strengthens. Every package has the Red Z stamp on the wrapper. : J. H. Zeilia & Co. Philadelphia. All Jobs . .

CoMUier, Athena, Oregon GIVEN. A FULL PARDON. Wirt W. Saunders Restored to Citi- ,'' renship,' ; ! " , 1 Wirt W. Saunders, convicted in 1887 of murder in the second de gree, for the killing of. Charles Campbell in Albany, sentenced to life imprisonment in the peniten tiary, released in 1894 by Governor Ptnnoyer on condition that he leave the state, was recently granted a full pardon by Governor Lord, for the purpose of restoring him to citizenship. Ever einco the pres ent governor took officej there have been efforts, more or less energetic, to have Saunders restored to oiti zenship. It was urged by promin ent citizens, including ex-Governor Pennoyer, that Saunders ' was de porting himself creditably at Spo kane, Wash; was connected with a prominent law firm; and that lack of citizenship was a serious handi cap to him as an attorney. About 6ix weeks ago Governor Lord be came satisfied, ' from reports : of Saunders: that citizenship might properly be restored to him, but, realizing that the practical effect of pardon would be to make Saun ders a citizen of Washington, wrote to Governor McGraw, as an act of comity, about the matter, and re ceived in reply a statement that the governor of Washington would soon give an expression of opinion as to Saunders worthiness. Now Governor McGraw writes that, af ter making personal investigation of Saunders conduct since coming to Spokane, he is convinced that Saunders' pardon would be proper. Lord has promptly acted in ac cordance with the recommenda tion. (Captain Saunders was sent to the Oregon penitentiary to serve a life. . sentence for the murder of Charles Campbell at Albany, in October, 1885. He was accused jointly with Miss Mattie Allison, a milliner of that city, with conspir ing to murder Campbell. Miss Allison-was acquitted. She got a change of venue to Salem, where her trial took place. Saunders was first tried at Albany, and convicted of murder in the first degree. Be fore he was rentenced he escaped from jail and eluded capture for two months. He was finally taken in custody at Coos bay. Later he was sentenced to dearth, but secured a new trial and a change of venue to Salem. Hia second trial result ed in a verdict of murder in the second degree, and he was sentenced to the penitentiary to serve a life sentence.) IN THE FIRST DEGREE. Such Was the Verdict in the Durrant ' Case. Theodore Durrant, assistant sup erintendent of the Emanuel Bap tist church Sunday school, was last Friday convicted of the murder of Blanche Lamont, for which he has been on trial since July 22 , last. The jury was out 20 minute and arrived at the verdict on the first ballot. As there was no recom mendation of mercy, the punish ment wa3 fixed at death. j The scene in the court room when the verdict was announced will never be forgotten by those who were present. Judge Murphy finished his charge at 3:30 and tlio jury at once retired. Although there was supposed to bo little prospect of a verdict being returned before 7 o'clock in the evening, the throng of spectators who had re mained in the overcrowded court room all the afternoon to hear the judge's charge, settled themselves back in their seats to await the re turn of the jury. Mrs. Durrant and the prisoner talked and laugh ed together as if an acquittal was a foregoing conclusion. They were joined by half a dozen friends and the conversation was becoming ani mated when it became whispered about that the jury had agreed on a verdict. In an instant a hush fell on the little circle that had gathered around the prisoner. Dur rant's face, always pale, assumed a ghastly hue, and his mother was speechless. Then the big door at the rear of the room opened and the members of the jury filed in and took their seats in the box. In the intense excitement that followed, the room, although it was filled to its utmost capacity, was almost as quiet as if had been vac ant. Judge Murphy, who had re tired to his chamber, was summon ed and took his' place upon the bench. Clerk Morris asked the usual questions as to whether the jury had agreed on a verdict. Fore' man Warren Dutton arose and re , plied in the affirmative. "We, the jury," said he, ' find the defendant. Henry Theodore Durrant, guilty of murder in the first degree." " , .. The case will be appealed to the supreme court, and it is expected that nearly a year vill'elap?o be fore a decision will ' be obtained. General Dickerson took exception to three features of the district at torney's argument. He also took an exception to the judge's charge. THE EARTH ' TREMBLED. Buildings Rocked and People Soarecf in Eastern Stales. A distinct earthquake shock vis ited Chicago at 5:15 Friday morn ing, lasting about 55 . seconds. There was no serious damage, but in many houses pictures were thrown to the floor and crockery was broken. The shock was ac companied by an audible rumbling coming in gently from the lake, and disappearing across the prar ies. In Buena' park and other north side suburbs, many persons dashed out of their houses in scan ty clothing. .For several hours the electricty iu the atmosphere was very oppressive to persons of a riervous temperature. St. Antonio s Catholic church and several other buildings were badly damaged at Quincy. At Niles, Mich., the earthquake was felt which lasted about, five minutes. Buildings tumbled, win dows cracked, beds swayed and peo ple rushed out of doors alarmed to the highest pitch. Pictures fell to the floors. Three shocks weif felt. At Cincinnat the the shock was felt, the most distinct in ten years. It began with a slight tremulous motion that continued perhaps a minute. Then followed two , or three violent undeulations, shaking brick buildings and rattling win dows, and a gigartic explosion. A slight roaring sound continued af ter the shaking ceased. At Memphis, Tcnn, a heavy shock of earthquake was felt. Houses rocked. The shock lasted about a minute and was preceeded by a rumbling sound. A TREASURE HOUSE. An Indian's House Turns Out to Be a Veritable Gold Mine. In the process of adjusting resi dences on the reservation to the al lotment ot the respective owners, says the Lewiston Teller, it becomes necessary for one old Indian couple to move from the old log hut that had been a landmark - since the days of mines and miners. These old Tsez Perce patriarchs wou'd not concent to live in a modern house and leave the abode of decaying logs. It became necessary to re move the structure to the new site to console the old folks, so it was decided to make play of the work. All the neighbors including two white men, repaired to the scene one day la3t week and proceeded to tear down the cabin and remove it across the line only a few yards dintant. The old couple watched the work very closely and directed the movements of some fiienda who were assissting in tho matter of particular personal interest. It developed that the old hut was a veritable treasure box. llierewas money in every crevice and nicho of the old logs. Before the last log was removed over $2000 had been gathered into an old flour sack. There were deposits of gold dust in old auger holes, greenbacks in the season cracks and coin stuff ed into hollow ends and knot holes of the logs. The old hut had been the repository of the two old In dians in the long past when they sold cattle, horses and farm pro ducts to the white men. The old people had passed the age of ment al activity, and the exact holes and niches that held their wealth they did not seem to know, but they guarded the whole premises with zealous care through all the years of a quarter of a century. Six weeks ago I suffered with a very severe cold; was almost un able to speak. My friends all ad vised me to consult a physician. Noticing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy advertised in the St. Paul Valds Zsitung I procured a bot tl, and after taking it a short while was entirely well. I now most heartily recommend this remedy to anyone suffering with a cold. Wm. Keil, 678 Selby Ave., St. Paul, Minn. For sale by P- M. Kirkland, Pioneer Drugstore. For Sale.

Recent . Utterance Concerning Cramp Commended. It by A shipbuilding company at De troit has subm'tted the lowest and best bids for two of the new gun boats in the United States navy, There is no . reason , why it should not receive the contracts except the fact that the city of Detroit is situated on the shore of the waters that divide this country from Can ada. Under the treaty, of 1818 with Great Britain either country is forbidden to build or to navigate vessels of war on the Great Lakes, and the construction of gunboats at Detroit, it is held, would come within the scope of the treaty. iThe treaty of 1818 was one of the shrewd devices by which far-sighted British diplomacy frequently ob tained advantage over our state de partment in its early days. The Monroe administration, under which it was ratified, did not fore seo tho rapid growth of the inter ests which wo were to hold in the Great Lakes. . Their American shores wero.then, for the most part a fronteer wilderness; cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Toledo, Duluth, and Chicago had not come into, existance, and De troit and Erie were mere garrison towns. Today the states which is bordered by the lakes contain a population three times as large as tho whole country had when the treaty of 1818 was signed,' and yet not one of them have the right to launch a war vessel on those inland seas. Mr. Charles II. Cramp has writ teu a strong open letter to Post- mastor-ueneral Wilson on the in justice which we suffer this treaty to work to the nation after a lapse ot three-quarters of a century, and he lorcibly suggests that it shall be abrogated, if it can actually be made to 6tand in tho way of pro viding ourselves with ships in one Yes, Our Ship Pulled iii :TME"(0)EM1)A1 $ fisOf course, tm m at iriuijui -su 3 iaiiiiuiiyiiiiiiiuaiuiuiuiiuiiauiuiiiiiiiuuiiiiiuiiiiiiiuii my : WW of our chief cities simply because it faces Canada. He calls for a . declaration Of independence by the United States on the Great Lakes; and there is certainly something intolerable now, whatever may have been the situation in 1818, in the fact that a nation of 70,000,000 people should be helpless to de fend themselves on these waters be cause Canada with 5,000,000 popu- , lation, holds the opposite coast. Mr. Cramp s vigorous letter may have been originally inspired by a generous desire to relieve , his hrm of any suspicion as being parties to the raising of the treaty of 1818 as an obstacle to the Detroit shipbuild ers. But, all the same, it is full of patriotic common sense which tho government of Washington should embody into a policy in the neai future. A notice to Great Britain that this treaty ha3 had its day and that the United States will in sist on the right to control or use of the lakes in accord with its para mount interests there will be in or derr . .'
