Everybody needs take a liver remedy. jg a sluggish op Cliseasd. liver that impairs digestion and eauses 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 kwativa 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.

The republican factions continue to claw at each other. At PeDdleton the other night in an address, Hon. 0. W. Fulton concluded by referring to the petition which bad been signed to bring about Judge H. H. Northup's independ ent candidacy. He denied that he had been bronght out on principle, but be cause of the factional fight because they thought that Ellis and his following were opposed to the Simon crowd. Taking the signatures to the petition separately, Mr. Fulton proceeded to open the eyes of his audience by Bhowing up the charac ter of the men whose names decorated that document. Following are only a few to which the speaker made reference : "W. K. Acock, some years ago shot a man on the corner of First and Alder streets, in what is now known as the Gilman house, where they were engaged in a game of poke. He obtained his acquittal before the committing magis trate by reason of perjured testimony of accomplices who organized for the pur pose of preventing of preventing his prosecution and contributed large sums of money. He was also seducing the daughter of the man of the name of Eagan from the paths of virtue, and re fused to desist from bis attentions to the girl. The father of the girl, while attempting to porsuade him to leave the girl alone, was shot down by him on the corner of Third and Morrison streets. "Larry M. Sullivan, notorious outlaw, conducting a sailor boarding-house, where he lives by reason of blackmail upon the shipping interests of the com munity and blood-money obtained from captains of chips, who has been con victed numbers of times in our courts for having violated the shipping laws of the state. He was one who circulated the petition for Judge Northup's nomination. "Thomas Williams, the proprietor of a faro game near the corner of Third and Alder streets, recently convicted in the circuit court for Multnomah county of conducting a faro game and compelled to pay a fine of $150. He is a notorious character and was one of the persons who contributed funds to prevent the conviction of Sandy Olds for the crime of murdering Emit Weber. His position in the community of Multnomah county is so well described in the opinion of the Btate vs. Olds, 19 Or., page 435. ' Ham Uoodman, a Jew, is a tin-horn gambler recen ly extradited from the state of Oalifornia at the expense of the state of Oregon, upon a charge of em- Dezziement anditorgery, who contest 63 his guilt to both crimes, but through the manipulation ot the grand jury bv Joseph Simon and his influence, he was let loose by the grand jury through a 'not true bill' in time to act as denutv sheriff at the primary election, and in other ways served bis master. "K.-W. DuValle. known as William Reno, alias R. W. DnValle. served a term in San Qaentin, and became disen franchised by reason of becoming a con vict and not being pardoned. His num ber in San Quentin was 1171. His photograph is in the possession of the chief-of-police of the city of Portland, taken while an inmate of the San Quentin penitentiary. He is a profes sional thief and a vagrant. He has no residence in Oregon, because be cannot acquire it by being an inmate of its jails. tie ia not entitled to vote, is an outlaw and a professional criminal. "Ueorge u. Barrett is a partner of Sandy Olds in the colonization scheme known as "Jbriends of the Homeless" at Third and A streets, a sure-thing confi dence gambler recently extradited from Seattle on the charge of larceny by em bezzlement. After his extradition the grand jury was persuaded throuch politi cal influence of Mr. Simon to return not a true bill and the case was settled. He escaped punishment at that time. "Frank Hellen. proprietor of a faro game on Washington street. A profes sional gambler. "Mullen, a door-tender at Frank Hel len 's faro game. "Webb, proprietor of a saloon which is known as a questionable resort where women and men without charaoter associate, and a place where the detect ives looking for burglars, thieves and confidence men are able to find them between the hours ot 1 and 2 in the morning and daylight. s. alien, proprietor of a cwar store on Washington street which has a poker game attachment. J. J. More and J.

A compaiison of the temperature shows that the warm wave was not con fined to the western portion of the state. The average temperature of the Columbia river .valley was bi deg , wbicb is 4 deg. warmer than for the week previous. Sonth and east of the Blue mountains there was a rise in the average tempera ture of 6 deg. The first portion of the week was decidedly cool, being marked by a fall to 26. at Baker City on Monday morning, freezing temperature, with frost, were frequent inclusive of Wednes day. The latter part of the week was warm, the temperature recording between 66 and 76 deg. The rain fall was slight in the Columbia liver valley, and hravier than nsnal south of the Blue mountains, where thunder storms occurred. Great benefits are being derived from warmer weather and sunshine. Wheat and grasper are making a wouderful growth. A large crop of hay is asurrl, since the foil ia laden with moisture sufficient to mature the crop. The rains of the past caused crops to look fresh and green. Some complaints are made of cut worms in the wheat in some sections, but there is no rust. Fall-town grain would mature without more rain, but spring sown muet still bave more. Grass on the range is furnishing good food for the stock. Oats were sown back from the Columbia river. Wheat and barley have Btooled well. The prospects are good lor a large grain crop. Jiarlv gardeDB are making a rapid growth, and vegetables are coming into market. Many potatoes have been planted, and more will be planted if favorable weath er continues. On high and sheltered ground about M osier prunes avoided the frost, but on low ground many orchards are a failure. In the Hood river valley prunes appear to be setting well, and will yet make a crop. Apple trees are in full bloom Strawberries are ripening, and shipments have been made from The Dalles. Pears and cherries are doing well, and other lruits, except peaches and apricots, are not nurt to a great extents, and are ex pected to make good crops. In Union county and to the south, where fruit trees were late blooming, generally, the crop prospects are not impaired. , International Coins. Preliminary proceedings on the part of tne government ol tbe united States looking to the adoption of international coins are authorized by a resolution fa vorably reported by the house committee on coinage, weights and measures. This resolution provides that the president be autnonzed and requested to invite an ex pression of opinion from the other principal commercial nations of the world as to tbe desirability and feasibility of the adoption of international coins to be cur rent In all the countries adopting them at a uniform value, and to be specially adopted for invoice purposes. If the ex pressions thus obtained from other nations are Buch as in tbe judgment of the president to render a conference de sirable, he is authorized to invite it at a time and place to be designated by him to consider and report a plan for the adoption and use of such coins, composed of gold or silver, or both. The president is authorized to appoint three representa tives, subject to confirmation by the senate. , Eastern Oregon Horses. Mr. L. H. Adams, who has been at Uoldendale and in Wasco county for a few days buying horses for the Omnibus Transfer Co., in Portiand, is somewhat disgusted with Eastern Oregon horses on account of the blemishes upon them made by wire fences. He says that eighty of a hundred hovnes have been cut with wire, sufficient to greatly lessen the value. He finds no fault with their quality. They are heavy enough and well built, but nearly every good looking horse that he finds, particularly in Uma tilla county and the Grande Ronde, has been cut about the legs, and its value lessened thereby. Owners of horses are also negligent in attending to an injured horse. Oftentimes an injury could be re paired by proper attention at the time. Challenges all Pendleton. ' The Pendleton Tribune says: "Clark Wood, president of tbe Weston baseball team, was in town Saturday, and, on be half of bis players, declared that tbe Weston club would meet the scouring mills' team in a game of ball upon any date and either here or in Weston. Mr. Wood admires tbe grit ol the scouring mills' boys whom he says will be badly whipped if the Weston team over gets at them. He guarantees that the victory shall be 4 to 1 in favor of his own team, which is composed chiefly of the normal school students. Clark Wood's challenge extends to any picked team, to be strict ly residents of Pendleton, whether they be the "bloods," the scouring mill boys or any other club of players." The Truck Passed Over Them.' The hook and ladder company turned out for a run the other evening, says the Pendleton Tribune, and being short of a man, an Indian known as Fish Hawk, with a little drink on board, volunteered to give his assistance. He was harness ed up and the firemen started. All went well until the corner of Main and Court streets was reached. In making a sharp turn here, Jim Beck, who was in tbe lead, stumbled and fell. Tho next second Fish Hawk had fallen over Beck, and a second later the truck was being pulled over them. One of the wheels passed over Beck's legs and then along the Indian's back and over bis head. Neither man was hurt, however, beyond receiving a few scratches. Bret Harte's Story. Bret Harte's new story and Jerome K. Jerome's latest piece of fiction have both been secured by The Ladies' Home Jour nal for immediate publication. Jerome's story is called "Reginald Blake, Finan rier and Cad," and sketchos an incident in fashionable London society. . Bret Harte calls his story "The Indiscretion of Elsbetb," and pictures tbe romance of a young Ameiican who falls in love with a German princess, masquerading as a dairy maid. That New York City consumes nine nine hundred and sixty million eggs in one year ; nearly three hundred thousand ponnds of butter every day j and as many gallons of milk; that it eats three hundred and five million ponnds of beef in a year seems astounding. And yet' these figares are, in reality, very modert ate calculations which Mr. John Gilmer Speed baa reached upon - exhaustive in vestigation, and embodied in an article on "Feeding a City Like New York," which he has written for Tbe ladies' Home Journal. Horace Greeley once said : "The way to resume is to resume," speaking of again putting gold into circulation after the war. But you may say "resume" any number of times to that torpid liver of yours and it won't budge nntil yon take Simmons Liver Regulator.

Before leaving the compartment, or place pro vided, the elector shall fold his ballot so that tbe faco thereof shall be concealed, without displaying the ballot or inform ing any perjon how he has prepared it; and he shall fold the ballot so that the remaining stub may bs torn off without exposing the contents of the ballot or the marks or crosses thereon.

Criticized by Gaston Says Women Should be School Superintendents. Joseph Gaston, candidate for the su preme court bench on tbe populist ticket. has been interviewed by the Portland Times on the subject of the recent de cision affecting women as candidates for school superintendent in Oregon. Mr. uastou said : "I think tbe court has erred in decid ing that women could not hold the posi tion of school superintendent. I think the state constitution 1b not the supreme law in this case. The constitution of the United States, which every judge is sworn to support, (sec. I of Amendment F ATE ... Decrees that you trade in Shoes where the Sun never shines. Hor rid, isn't it? The place is walled with Shoes of all kinds, but is alive with rare gems. Take the right path to the . . ' BOSTON STOEE, Pendleton, Oregon. Art. XIV), declares: " persons born or naturalized in the United States, are citizens of the United States, and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or en force any law which shall tbridge tbe privileges of ci izens ot the Uuited States.' "The second paragraph of Articlo VI of the United States contitution declares that constitution to be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby. Now, un less we say that women are not persons, then tbe national constitution makes them citizens of Oregon, and entitled to all the privileges of citizens. I don't say the privilege of electors but the privilege of citizens. One of the privileges of citizenship is the right of employment, the right to earn a livelihood. Superin tending the schools of a county is simply employment in the public schools like the saperintendency of the schools of this city. The duties of the position are special and limited, affecting only a de Unite class of DPrfinnn nnrl nnl min.nl like judicial positions, or like tho duties ui me omces namea in the state constitu tion, which affects ell classes of the people. If the lecinlati exclude women from employments by Miiuug me positions omces,' every woman could be excluded from the schools as teachers by the indirection and calling the position of teacher in tbe schools an 'office.'

Occasionally still the latter favor is granted, or tbe authoress pens a bit of a note in acknowledgement of some courtesy. Her modest way of liv ing implies the fact that the rewards of distinguished success in literature are other than monetary. Such success is not to be measured by tangible things. The aims and ambitious of those who seek to do work with the pen worthy to live, and helpful to there fellowmen, are not those of mere practical pursuits. How can be estimated in dollars tbe deep moral glow of satisfaction experi- i enced by Mrs. Stowe on the day when the Emancipation Proclamation was given to the world?" Heavy Waterspout. A waterspout visited devastation to a large extent of country Friday and re ports reoeived today say that crops were damaged to quite a largo extent. Newt Roork brought in word, as well as sever al others. The spout burst over a stretch of country taking in portions of Butter creek, McKay creek, Birch creek and Stewart creek, raining the creeks to al most as high points as tbey have beer at any time this spring. George Olcott's place was one which was visited by the deluge. Reports are as yet meagre and give no particulars, mentioning only a few ranches, but those who saw any of the effects of tbe waterspout say it was widespread in extent aud one of tbe heaviest ever experienced in this section.
