HBNA 1 V ' i - n ,"5IMM0MS 7 J XREGULATOR ' Reader, did you ever take Simmons Liver Regulator, the "Kino of 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 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 ito 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. , I Every package has the Red Z stamp on the wrapper. J. H.

NO FUNDS IN TREASURY A Special Assessment May Be ' Levied.' : Although the neneral executive boards of the KuiKhta cf Labor has entered an appeal against a verdict of the Philadel phia court giving ex-General Master Workman Powdorly a total of $4225 for arrears in salary due him and for ser vices rendered while- occupying that position, it is practically conceded by officers of the organization . that tbe ver dict will stand, and that the claim will have to be paid. Where the funds are to come from, however, is a question which will give tbe officers considerable concern before it is settled. Tbe board has been living from band to mouth for some time past, and it is said that the salaries and expenses of several of the leading officers and organizers are con siderably in arrears. Xhete is talk of a special assessment upon the various local assemblies for the purpose of pro viding funds for meeting the Verdict secured by Mr. Towderly, but there ie no warrant for any such assessment in the constitution, and tbe local assemblies would therefore be at liberty, were they so inclined, to refuse to respond. It is probable tbat a vote of the order upon the question of - was and means in its present dilemma will be taken. - A RESERVOIR BREAKS. R. French and His Entire Family j Drowned Near Baker City. Baker City, June 16. Last night about midnight the Goodrich creek reser voir, It) miles from the city broke. A great volume of water rushed down the gulch about four miles where it jumped from Goodrich creek to Pine creek. About three miles below tbe flood struck K. French's house and dashed it to pieces, drowning the whole family, par ents and five children, of ages ranging from three to 12 years. The bodies were found scattered, along the creek a dis tance of two miles. The clothing was torn off and the bodies mangled. Large pine trees were carried miles down the stream and fences and bridges swept away. Grain fields are badly damaged. - ECLIPSE'S SUN HAS SfcT. The Great Oregon Runner and His Long Career of Successes. "There lies a horse that ought to have a marble monument 14 feet high, with golden letters all over it,'.' said one of the "swipes" at Irvington the other day, as a crowd was mutilating the body of poor Oregon Eclipse, in its efforts to secure mementoes of one of the greatest race horses that ever lived. Swipes was tight, and had money been as plentiful as sentiment on the track the dead campaigner would have secured the monument inside of ten seconds. The victories of Oregon Eclipse if told in detail, would fill a book, and an interesting one it would be. The horse was foaled at Prineville about nine years agoi his dam being a mare named Lulu Kiggs, owned by Foster Bros. His sire was Joe Hooker. Eclipse came out of the shadow at tbe age of 3, and won his first race at McMinnville, Or., about six years ago. He - went . from here to San Francisco, where he made such a wonderful showing that he was pur chased by W. J. Leheigh for $6000. His career irom that time was one unbroken line of triumphs, and in condition and out of condition, he met and vanquished tbe best horses in the United States, de feating among otberspLibertine, holder of the world's record on tbe regulation mile track. Potentate, Magnet and scores of others of national fame are also in the list of thoee defeated by Oregon Eclipse. His races were mostly from half mile to a mile, and his record, which was for a long time tbe world's record, was 1 :13 for three-fourths of a mile. This was made at Washington Park, Chicago. Leheigh kept tbe horse moving until last fall, when he sold him to Rabbins, who owned him at the time of his death. Since changing hands he won 13 races, 10 of which were run in San Francisco. His remarkable endur ance and ragged ronstition were never shown to a better advantage than in the East last October. He won tbe 6h fur long race late in the afternoon ut St. Louis. He was led six miles to the train, and taken that nignc to Roby, Ind. tie was there led 14 miles to the track, and won the lj-mile race over the jumps. On coming to the coast, be con tinued his eastern success and at Bay District track defeated Magnet, the cele brated runner, for which Ed Corrigaa offered $10,000. During his six years on the turf Oregon Eclipse won over 100 races, and made for his owner over $100,000. Railroad to be Sold. Tbe sales of tbe O. E.&N. railroad and its branches has been advertised to Jake place July 10, 1896. The main line run ning from Portland to Huntington will be sold at Fairview. What is known as the Washington branch will be sold at Starbuck and the Elgin branch will be sold at Island City. The Oregonian has tbe following to say regarding the reor ganization of tbe road : "The reorganization of the company, as nearly as can be understood, is to be effected by tbe purchasing committee, after they have' purchased ail the prop erties turning them over to a new com pany, which will reorganize the whole concern under their old name, and which, if present arrangements are car ried out without mischance, will get possession and control of ail tbe proper ties August 1, or perhaps sooner. "One of tbe things connected with the reorganization of the company which will give great satisfaction to a large number of people, is the fact that a Urge number of bills, many of which were incurred whilo the Union Pacific receiv ers wore managing the property, amount ing to over $160,000, are at last to be paid.' General Auditor Benson says- the company w ll , he ready to . pay , these rlaims ai Loon as the papers anive from Omaha, which will be by June 20 or 26 ft will bo s mie consolation to loisa who have waited so Ion; for their jost dues to know that they are to receive interest on tbe amounts due them, and to many the receipt of tbe money will be just like finding it." - Oregon Notes. Pendleton is to have its ordinances codified in book form. A nugget weighing $28 was recen'ly found in the left fork of Galice creek. There are only 33 applicants for the principalship of the McMinnville schools. The G. A. R. Eastern Oregon veterans will hold a reunion at Union, July 2, 3 and 4. The Foreat Grove Times and Hatchet have consolidated, and will hereafter ap pear as the Times-Hatchet. ; - The express company at The Dalles has shipped up to date 13,975 pounds of strawberries to Montana and Portland. The home of Mrs. Rogers at The Mead ows, Jackson county, with its conten'a was destroyed by fire last Sunday. Tbe family bad a narrow escaped. -The Albany creamery, on Friday, had to return an 8000-pound order for butter, already having orders amounting to 21,000 pounds ahead, all it can fill in the time desired. Joe Tetherow started from Independ ence across the mountains to Crook county, last Monday, with one hundred calves and yearlings. Eleven of them died about the time of starting. Four thousand sheep, belonging to Malcolm McClellan, were ferried across the Columbia at The Dalles Friday morning. They were being taken to Mt. Adams for summer pauturage. The directors of the Grand Ronde Valley Agricultural Society have pre pared a speed programme for the fall meeting, which begins on Monday, Sep tember 28. Tbe purses range from $75 to $150. Tbe rank and file of God's Regular Army shook the dust of, Roseburg from their feet Friday morning, and left for Grant's Pass to the no small delight of the community, "Our gain," says the Plaindealer, "is Grant's Pass loss." Since the waters of the John Diy have receded it is found that tbe damage to the Canyon creek county road by reason of wash-outs is incalculable. Much work and plenty of dyniiri e ill ba require! to make the grades passable. For justice of the peace in Bridgeport precinct, Polk county, the vote between Stewart Montgomery and A. N.Robin son was a tie. On Wednesday, they went before County Clerk Mulkey and drew lots publicly. - A.. N. Robinson was the successful candidate. William Slavans was tried at Albany Friday for stealing a watch from B. 8. Mills, taken from his vest pocket. He was held under $200 bonds for the grand jury. . Slavens claimed Mills owed him something in a settlement, and he took the watch without leave for payment. Bail was furnished. Art attempt Is being made to have the road between Marshfield and Newport improved by covering it with burnt fire day so that it can be used all the year round. The experiment on the Marsb-field-Empire road has proved a great success, and has solved the possibilities ol good winter roads for that section. ' The Polk County Pioneer Association will bold its annual meeting in Dallas, on Wednesday, June 24, and at that meeting an organization of Native Sons and Daughters of Polk county will be effected. All native sons over the age of 21 and all native daughters over the age of 18 will be admitted to membership. A Crow Story. "I once lived in a country neighbor hood in Missouri where a revival meeting was commenced in oppoeitton to the wishes of moBt of the residents of the vicinity," said Frank Andrews of San Francieco" at tbe Pacific yesterday. "And," said Mr. Andrews'there lived adjacent to the meeting house a man who owned a pet crow which bad learned to speak one sentence, viz ; The Lord has condemned you.' One Sunday night the owner of the crow left the windows of his house open, and the bird flew out and went to the church where the revival was in progress, and alighting upon the pulpit solemnly said, 'The Lord has condemned you., The minister made his escape at a door just to tbe rear of the pulpit and tho congregation hurried pellmell from the sanctuary. Finally, all had fled but one poor old rheumatic lady who bad been carried into tbe church and who was un able to leave. The crow immediately flew down the aisle and slighted on tbe back of a seat just in front of tbe old lady, and repeated, 'The Lord has condemned you,' when she arose and puintingabony finger at tbe black apparition confronting her, said, 'The Lord has condemned you. I did'nt have a thing to do with tbe get ting up this meeticg, and you know it.' The revival was immediately closed." Artesian Water at The Dalles. The problem of arteeian water in The Dalles is now solved, and it is demon strated beyond a doubt that it can be bad in endless quantities at a depth of little over one hundred feet. The Timea Mountaineer says the well at tbe Col umbia Brewery affords an abundant supply, and P. L. Kretzer struck a fine flow in tbe well he bas been sinking at the electric light plant. Tbe vein was struck at a depth of 115 feet, and - the water rso to with in nine feet of the sur face. A powerful steam pump was at tached to the well, and was kept pump ind steadily for an hour, throwing a two inch stream of water continuously for that lime, without perceptibly lowering the water in the well, indicating the supply to be inexhaustible. Good Health And a good appetite go hand in hand. With the loesof appetite tbe system cannot long sustain itself. Thus the fortifications of good health are broken down and tbe system is liable to attacks of disease. It is in such cases that the medicinal powers cf Hood's Sarsaparilla are clearly ehown. Thoupands who have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla testify to its great merits as a puritier of the blood, its powers to sharpen tbe appetito and promote a healthy action of the digestive organs. BOLD GAME TO WIN. i. Mitchell Republicans Will 4 "t .Contest Election! j x THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED Will Try and Shut Out Two or Three Republicans. Portland Oregonian. The Mitchell republicans are evidently in sore straits. They hardly know just where they are at when it comes to eiz ing up the legislative vote for United States senator. Populist Bourne, secre tary of the state central committee, with his silver-plated staff of assistants, whistle merrily while crossing the politi cal graveyard, in order to keep up cour age, but tbe whistle 1b not a happy one and their troubles have evidently j ist begun. , ' -i The purpose of the. Mitchell republi cans is to secure some kind of a recount in Multnomah county. At the . official canvass which was finished Friday, T. Cader Powell bad a complete abstract of the legislative vote for the benefit of the Mitchell republicans; but the official count simply verified the previous re turns, which gave to tbe republicans three out of the four senators and five out of the nine representatives. In order to get at the ballots cast in each precinct and discover if any mistakes were made, the proposition now is to have a recount as to two candidates, between whom a difference of but a few votes exist. A formal contest has been instituted by Charles A. Burckhardt, Mitchell tepub lican candidate for recorder, against Phillip S. Malcom, the republican nomi nee, who has been elected by a small plurality. A close relative of Burckbardt has said : "No matter whether Malcolm is count ed in or not it will make no difference as arrangements have been made for a contest and recount, backed by Mitchell republicans, in the hope that they may discover some discrepancy which will give them two or three more legislative members." If tbe proceeding is carried out, what ever may be the result, so far as legisla tive candidates are concerned, the action will be purely preliminary. Each branch of the legislature is the sole judge of the election and qualifications of its members in case of a contest. While it is claimed that a recount can be demanded in tbe courts, the fact remains that, whatever action is taken, it will not be binding on the legislature, as the two bodies must, if appealed to, ultimately paxj on tbe merits of the case and decide. The Mitchell republicans want to place Populist Bourne in the speaker's chair. That is part of tbe ante-election bargain between them and tbe populists; but they are shy on votes, counting all possi ble strength. Tbe republicans will con trol tbe lower house, by a small majority, and, while some of this number are known to be staunch supporters of Mitchell, they wilt doubtless draw the line on Bourne, as speaker; It is on Bourne as speaker, and tbe power that he in that position can wield, that the j hopes of the Mitchell republicans rest , for unseating enough republicans in the ; bouse to carry out a programme now in progress of incuDation. Tbe nret part ol the scheme is, as stated to secure a recount in this county between Burck hardt and Malcolm, and then, if possi ble, to have tbe precinct votes for legis lature also reviewed in tbe hope of gain ing some basis for legislative inquiry. It is very likely that the Mitchell re publicans may run against a snag in try ing to secure a recount. Tbey would hardly relish too close a scrutiny of the votes daet in precinct No. 'J on election day, as it might probably result in throwing out the entire precinct. Some of the leading populists are quietly watching what is daily going on, and, from bints dropped, it would appear that, when it comes to protest tho populists will also be on hand, particularly so far as precinct No. 9 is concerned. WALLA WALLA NEWS. Death of a Pioneer Who Served in the Nez Perce and Bannock Wars. Walla Walla, June 13. Michael Price one of tbe earlteet pioniers of Walla Walla valley died of consumption, aijed 67 years. Deceased waa a naiive cf Ire land, and in 1855 came to California, and from there to to Walla Walla in 1860, where he was for a number of years en-, gaged in packing.

Montgomery, who were artested here i n a charge of steal ing cattle in Columbia county, were taken to Dayton and given a preliminary hearing. Each was placed under $500 bonds to appear at tbe next term of - the Superior court. Bail was furnished, and tbe accused returned to Walla Walla. ' Mrs. Sapp, residing ' near Waitsburg, was adjudged insane and sent to the asylum at Steilacoom. : A large number of farmers were inter viewed and all are very jubilant over the prospects of a large yield of wheat this season. Spring grain is doing fine, while fall wheat never looked better. Large shipments of strawberries are made daily to Montana, Idaho, Spokane and Dakota. . About 1000 crates are thipped by express daily, while ship ments in carload lots will commence next week, as commission merchants are daily receiving orders from St. Paul and other Eastern points for berries in carload lots. The June Rise. Notwithstanding the cool weather and rain for the past 10 days, the Columbia has been gradually rising, says the St. Helens Mist. Stockmen and others on the low lands have watched tbe water gauge each day and hour almost, hoping at any minute to eee it come to a etand still, and hoping against fate that they would not have to abandon their homes, but they have found that hope did not stop the water, aDd proceeded to embark for higher grounds. About the only man left on Sauvie's island is Frank Dow, wboee place 1b somewhat higher than the general lay of the land, but he, too, will be compelled to vacate should tbe water come three or four feet higher. It looks now aB if the water would remain high for some time, inasmuch as there is said to tie a great deal of Enow in the mountains; in faof, more than usual at this season o( the year. The lateness of the season when Uie water shall recede from the bottom lands will hardly give the grass time to make hay before the fall rains, and it will also bo too late for potatoes, a great many of which are usually raised on the Columbia bottoms. The limit of water is not yet reached, and the weather conditions will have to do with the extent of tho flood, so that at the present all is speculation. . . . ' Land Contest Case. ' A contest case has been in progress be fore the local land cilice officials involv ing a forty-acre tract adjoining Bingham Springs tho well known mountain resort. It was discovered last year that this forty acres of ground still remained a part of Uncle Sam's domain, and Mr. R. M. Grauty filed a homestead claim on tbe land. A contest on this claim has been instituted by U. F. Edgecomb, on the grounds that Mr. Grasty has failed to make suitable compliance with tbe law in tho matter of residence, cultivation and improvements. As a justification for apparent failure Mr. Grasty sets out that high water and unavoidable circum stances interfered with his doing tbe usual sets required of a homestead claimant. Mr. Edgecomb ia represented by J. H. Raley of Pendleton, and Mr. Grasty by S. V. Knox, an attorney of Weston. Mind Your P's and Q's. "Mind Your p's and q's," is an old time expression, but the following is well peppered with p's; PersonB who patron ize papers should pay promptly, for the pecuniary prospc-c s of tbe press have a peculiar power of pushing forward public prospects.

Paste this piece of proverbial philosophy in a prominent place where all can peruse it. A good recommendation for Simmons Liver Regulator ie, that it is purely vegetable and strongly tonic.

Highest of all in Leavening 4BS0I.UTEE.1f PUCE AN IMPORTANT LAW A Very4 Important Reform Now Being Advocated. A SHORT EXPLANATION. Initative and Referendum La w-Making by the People. The Ioiative means that when a cer tain percentage of the voters Bign a peti tion in favor of the enactment of any new law, or repeal of an old one. and file their petition with the proper officer, the proposed law or repeal must be sub mitted to ail the voters at the ballot box at the aext election. If the , proposal receives a majority of the votes cast it becomes a law, otherwise not. Laws made by the initiative are not presented to the legislature at all. ' The Referendum means that all bills passed by the legislature must be. re ferred to the voters at tbe ballot box at tho next election, and that no bill can become a law unless it receives a major ity of the votes cast. District, town, city or county laws are voted upon by the citizens of the locality to which the law will apply. Only gen eral laws are referred to all the citizens of the Btate. f i. j The voto power is taken from the gov ernor and placed in tho hands of the people. i All laws are printed in full and with each is a statement of the reasons for and against its enactmont. A copy of the pamphlet containing' these laws and reasons and a sample ballot ia delivered to every voter. Making the law is pure ly a business proposition. The reasons for and against being plainly stated in print by the parties offering the opposing law, only a little common sense being necessary for a wise vote. This is not in any sense a partisan question, nor the property of any party. It was proposed in Oregon and has boen supported by a union of tbe Btate Farm ers' Alliance, State Grange, Knights of Labor, Portland Federated Trades and Portland Central Labor Council, Money for work has been supplied by these or ganizations and by republicans, demo crats and people's party men individual ly. ' In -case of urgency, if enough peti tioners can be obtained a special elec tion may be held to enact or repeal a law, but there never bas been good reasons for this as to a law made by the people. In our own country tbe only excuse for special sessions has been to correct evil class legislation. When all the citizana make a law, and the vote of one counts for as much as any other, cbss legislation roust cease because no class is strong enough to over-rule all other classes at the ballot box. The mechanice and laborers on the farm and in the city will hava a power in law-making that must be felt, The tax-payers Instead of tsxeaters will fix the amount of public expenses, Under the present system it is not bo. When the appropriation bills come up all partisanship disappears. Republi cans and democrats are almost a unit for everything in sight, from pearl handled pocket knives to branch asylums, and a populists draws mileage to go home, via. San Francisco. As taxeitters they , are against the taxpayers. They have the power and we foot the bills. Some men say that the people are too ignorant to vote wisely on the laws that may be submitted, but we have yet to hear of himself as one of that ignorant class. The progress of the Swiss under the Initiative and Referendum la amazing Their experience proves that "the wis dam of the whole peoplo is greater thau that of any part."

The city of Zurioli has a population of 92,000 and m ''l"v success fully by the Initauvu Referendum. Their magnificent highways are an example for the whole world, their postal facilities are unequalled and their freedom from financial panic and social disturbances is particularly noticeable. Tramps are unknown. Their president gets only $3000 a year, very few other officials receive $1200, while for local officers $400 is a high salary. The low salaries and close watch over public ex penditures destroys the great thirst for public office from which we suffer. By tho Referendum none of these bodies can make a law, raise their wages, or appropriate more than a very email sum for any purpose without an endorsement at the ballot box.- The Ini tiative and Referendum 1b the only practical plan thus far made by which the majority does really govern. It is the only peaceable way to obtain an un disputable expression of the wili of the people on any question. Ex. Precinct Justices and Constables. Encampment E. S. Wilbur, justice of the peace ; S.

He was ia Tho Dalles Saturday, and saw Captain Wand, whose opinion he is soliciting as to whether he can pass over the dalles io tho boat with any degree of safety. The captain will make an inspection. Mr. Walker says it looks at present as though the'swell at the dalles is about 30 feet high. The owner of the craft has come in it all the way from Lewiston, making the distance ia 30 hours. The first 80 miles was made in five hours, It ia a stornwheel steamer, furnished with two ongines and a 175-pound boiler. He wants to take the bout to Portland and eell it. The most perilous part of his trip was in Snake river canyon, where he says while passing through some rapids the boat stood up nearly on end, as it dashed down a steep place into a whirlpool at an elbow of the river. Opinion is divided as to what will be come of the boat at the dalles. Some believe tt will be whirled underneath and never appear on the surface again. Reminder of Old Times.
