Reader, did you ever take Simmons
Liveb Medicentes ? " 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 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. '

A POPULIST CHOICE
The Party Advised to Support
Teller for President.
ADDRESS TIIE COUNTRY.
Committees Have Issued a
Lengthy Manifesto.
As the result of a series of conferences
between a committee appointed by the
seceding silver men of the national con
vention, and a committee compoaed ot
prominent populists, an address was is
sued from the headquarters of the people's
party national committee in est. Louie,
advising populists throughout the country
to make Henry M. Teller, of Colorado,
their naiiinal etandard-bearer.
Immediately after the silver men
walked out of the convention, they ap
pointed a committee, of which Charles
H. Hartman, of Mentana ; Senator R. F.
Pettigrew, of South Dakota; Senator
Cannon, of Utah, and Senator Fred T.
Dubois, of Idaho, were members, to con
fer with a committee of populists. That
evening;, at the Planter's hotel, they met
H. JJ. laobeneck. of Illinois: Howard S.
Taylor, of Chicago, and T, At. Patterson,
of Denver, of the national populist com
mittee, and as a result of that and subse
quent conferences, the address was
issued. ,
Chairman Taubeneek, in an interview,
said tonight:
"I be seceding silver men cf the repub
lican party and the populists have, as
the result of our conference, come to a
perfect agreement as to the future, and
we will work along the same lines."
He predicted victory for a ticket with
Teller ae its leader. The address, in
part, is as follows: '
"Jrixpressly disclaiming any purpose or
right to bind any party or person by its
views here set forth, we but yield to an
overpowering sense ot duty, In saying
what we do to the members of the
people's party, and to all other good citi
zens, who, apprehending the approach of
a momentouB crisis in our country's life,
are williog to avert it by acts of exalted
patriotism.- . -
"We came to St. Louis as citizens,
members of the people's party, to be
present at the meeting of the national
republican convention, that we might de
termine more definitely for ourselves the
true aim of that organization in the pres
ent struggle. We have 'seen the 'dobb'
in politics more securely enthroned, more
servilely obeyed and more dictatorial as
to candidates and policy than has ever
been witnessed in the field of national
politics. ' j
"One man, the perfection of bis type,
representing the millionaires, the banks,
the corporations, the trusts and every
other remorseless and plutocratic element
in our country's life, has, through the
Dower of money, dictated the nomination
of Mr. McKinley, and ban shaped the
platform of his party. -
"lnia convention, siavisniy responding
to the will of the money power, has
forced an issue which must be met. It
is a challenge to the yeomen of the land ;
if it shall succeed, the fetters of a tyranny
more grinding than that of the czars and
emperors, will be riveted upon the plain
people ot the country, letters wmcb must
be indefinitely worn with the contempt
ible Bpirit inseparable from willing serfs,
or in the end be broken with the irre
sistible power of a mighty revolution.
"That isBue is formulated in the de
mand that 'the existing gold standard
must be preserved,' and for the enact
ment of 'all measures designated to main
tain, inviolably the obligations of the
United States and all our money either
coin or paper at the preeent standard.'
"This means that silver shall be per
manently degraded into mere money of
change, and that it be deprived of its
legal-tender quality, except for some
paltry sum J that the national banks shall
be swollen into a power of triple their
present ability to contract the volume of
money, to absorb the earnings of indus
try, and to grip the throat of all industrial
and commercial life, while from time to
time it terrorizes the voters into choice of
its tools for all legislative, judicial and
administrative positions.
"The money power has forced this is
sue now, because, in its judgment, those
those whom its policy would enslave are
divided into hostile political families,
which papnot be united in time to resist
its onset. It' regards it ar. impossible
that harmonious action can be secured
between the different organizations that
favor money reform and remittance to Us
insatiate greed. With populists, silver
democrats and independent bimetallists
supporting different nominees for preai
dent and the national congrts", it feels
assured of victory, and it tiae determined
to press, without abatement, the advant
age wbich this apparently lamentable
condition raises op before you.
"In this, the most threatening crisis
that has menaced the country since the
civil war, though simply citizen members
of the people s party, we venture to
make momentous suggestions to you, our
brethern. In doing this we have neither
desire nor thought to impair, in the least
degree, the efficiency of our noble organ
ization, charged as it i with tbe liberties
of preceut and future generations, and
whose integrity and growth is essential
to tbe perpetuation ot onr iree institu
tions. Our constant aim will be to defend
it fiom foes within and without, and to
preserve it as a power consecrated forever
to the defense of humanity's dearest
rights npon the American continent.
"In view of this snbmiseon by tbe re
publican convention of tbe most extreme
demands ever made upon Americans by
tbe money power, every . thought of
American manhood, should from this
hour, tend toward creating and cementing
a anion between those who would resist
the conspiracy of wholesale robbery and
srri n d in iz oppression .
''Measures must be gained or defeated
through men. After all, the chief prob
lem in this crisis is to find a man npou
whom patriots can unite, whose life is a
witness that, if entrusted with authority
over national action and its enforcement,
he will defy every allurement of wealth
and every menace of power, standing un
flinchingly by the cause of the peoplo in
the fierce struggle inseparably connected
with the t met men t of our proposed
reforms.
' We se in the private and official life
of Henrv M. Teller a beacon, burning
brightly, warning ; th peoplo from the
threatening shores of dissension. He
has but now publicly abandoned the
republican party, with which he has
been associated since its first organization.
When to his official record are united an
unsullied private life, a character with
out a blot or stain, a grateful, generous
nature, a patriotism that knows neither
state nor section, we feel that we are nut
preforming a duty to our beloved country
in thus calling at'ention to Mr. Teller's
merits and availability as a candidate for
president ; as one upon whom all pop-
uUtsmay coBBiBtectty unite, wruietney
strenuously preserve and strengthen the
organization.
' The necessity of a dispassionate con
sideration of his claim upon the support
of the American people has been more
apparent since -the patriotic republican
leaders, who abandoned their party
under this inspiration, have announced
him as their nominee for president of the
United States."
Wind-Proof Houses.
Prof. John R. Sage is director of tbe
Iowa weather and crop service, and in
that capacity he is finding enough to do
these days. He is an expert on air dis
turbances, such as cyclones and tornadop,
and. he thinks the local officers of the
national weather bureau should at times
be invested with more authority. As an
evidence of this he holds that if the offi
cer in charge at St. Louis had been al
lowed to do so he could have given a
warning which, if heeded, would have
saved many lives. But it is always
easier to lock the door after tbe horse had
been stolen then before. 8o with this
controversy between the crop reviewer
and the weather forecaster. But there is
a feature in a late iaterview with. Prof.
Sago which is particularly worth noting.
tie says that if he were building a
house on the prairie he would construct
tbe first story as strong as possible,
anchoring the corners with steel rods
through the maeonery in tbe founda
tion. 1 be timbers of tbe lower story,
he Bays, should be as strong as possible,
but the roof should be left so that the
suction of the high wind could spend its
force in getting the roof oil. I be air in
the house must be lifted out by the tor
nado's powerful draft and if it cannot be
done without pulling the whole house
witn U, then the bouse has to go. But if
it has vent then the air can escape with
out destroying or cairying away the
building. ior tbisreaBon there Bhould
be plenty of openings in the house so the
air can escape from the first story. In
his opinion the cellar should have an
outside opening or hatchway to let the
air out, or the house may be torn up or
turned over. It is imprisoned air that
causes most of the destruction to build
ings. These are practical hints and they are
Bupported by what occurred at St. Louis.
it was found there that In many cases
the cornered air wrecked the buildings by
trying to force itself out. Something like
an explosion took place. But when it
comes to building houses on the prairie
tbe first thing thought of is shelter. It
is commonly the case that those building
their first homes have not the means,
even if they knew how, to add security.
And then it is questionable if any houee
is secure when struck by a genuine tor
nado. . The path of such a storm is gen
erally swept clean of all obstructions.
England Paying Her Debt.
The revenue surplus ot Great Britain
and tbe prospect that some of it will be
devoted to payment of tbe national debt
causes great discontent among fund
holders, who prefer consols at a premium
wbich reduces tbe rate of interest below
2 per cent., to any other investment in
sight, This preference and the rapid rise
of consols give new proof of tbe enormous
and increasing amount of idle money in
Great Britain, and, for that matter.
throughout Europe. The rapidly grow
ing mass of savings throughout the old
world is already so great that the pay
ment of debt by such a government as
that of Great Britain or the refunding of
debt by such a government as that of
France is an operation tbat awakens so
much discontent tbat grave political re
sults are involved. The notion that it is
the duty of the government to borrow
money and pay interest to afford a safe
investment to its subjects was not put
into plain words, but it seems to under
lie a good deal of the discussion of the
subject.
The Beer Feet.
The very popular theory has been ad
vanced of late that all women who par
take to any extent of malt liquors have
large feet. Tbe women of England,
Germany and Holland are quoted as
examples of big-footed beer-drinkers;
while tbe women of - wine drinking
countries, like Spain, France and Italy
are said to have small and shapely feet.
This ingenious theory may have origin
ated in a Keeley cure for women, where
Trijby like extremities were guaranteed
to temperance ladies, and Cinderella feet
to total abstainers. Atany rate, whether
drinking affects the size of them or not,
everyone has observed that a jag settles
in a drunkard's feet. Apparently it pro
duces a misunderstanding, so that one
foot does not know what the other foot is
doing or where it is going, and unfortu
nate consequences result. Anytbteg
that makes for temperance is good, and
the theory of drink making big feet may
be a powerful weapon in the hands of the
prohibitionists.
To Keep Children at Home.
There is a big lot of common sense in
dealing with boys and girls as is sug
gested in the following item: You
would like to keep your boys and girls
home nights would yon? Well, take
that best room of yours which is now
only open for weddings, funerals and
general company doings, fill it with good
books, papers, games, music, and let
the boys and girls have it. The way to
keep them at home is to make home the
most attractive place in all the world for
them.

BURRIED AT BAKER
The Seven Reservoir Victims
Laid to Rest.
CROPS AND WEATHER.
For the Week Ending Mon-
day, June 22nd.
Impressive funeral services over the
remains of the seven members cf the
French family, who were swept down to
death by the breaking of ibe Goodrich
creok reservoir, were held in Baker City
at 2 o'clock Wednesday, under the aus
pices of the Queen City Camp and Circle,
Woodmen cf the World. ,
Tbe names of the victims are Clark L.
French and Mrs. French; Maude, 13
years; Mary, 9 years; Carl, 7 years;
Grace, 3 years, and Jennie, 1 year. .
The family formerly resided in Wyom
ing, Colorado and Iowa. It is said that
Mr, French's mother resides in one of
these states.
Mr. French was an honored member
of Queen City Csmp, No. 48, in which
be carried a $3000 insurance policy.
Mrs. French was a member of the Circle,
an auxiliary of the order, carrying $1000
insurance.
Although tho family have no relatives
in this country the sudden and fateful
death of AVPrv lnnmKor tlmnaf. virliin
the twinkling of an eye impressed every
one witn a ieenng ot most profound
pity. ,
The Verdict of f Vm mrAnar'a inrv vrhti'h
inquired into the cause of the dreadful
laiauiy, was as follows:
"We. the enrnnnr'a Inrv. imn in in.
quire into the death of Ohrk Lee, Laura,
oiauae, uan, jiary, Grace and Jennie
French, find that they came to their
death by drowning, caused by tbe break
ing of the reservoir dam, situated at tbe
head of Goodrich creek, in this county
and state. From the evidence adduced
bbfore the jury in the examination of
this case, wo are of the opinion that this
dam was not sufficient and had not re
ceived the proper care and attention
from parties in charge of said property."
CROPS AND WEATHER.
For the Week tnding Monday,
dune 22.
Thunder storm conditions prevailed
over the southern portion on the 17th
and 21st which in sections gave rain on
the 17th only a few sprinkles occurred,
while on tbe Slet good showers fell ; ex
cept there no rain fell during the past
week. The weather for the most part
has been clear and warm. Tbe temper
ature for the week averaged 87 degrees
and the cold of nights 58 degrees. The
higtiest. was uo degrees on tbe 21st.
East and eouth of the Blue mountains
the temperature averaged 64 degrees and
the cold of night 49 degrees. These
temperatures are from 8 to ten degrees
higher than during the week preceding,
and are about normal for this season of
the year.
The warm weather has been generally
beneficial. Morrow county correspond
ents report two days of hot winds the
past week which have been injurious to
the wheat crop. With this exception the
weather is reported as favorable. Tbe
most glowing reports as (o the wheat
crop comes from Umatilla county. Tbe
wheat crop is reported to be excellent in
all counties except Morrow, and in this
county there has been no really injurious
weather so far. Haying continues-. The
first crop of alfalfa has been cut and
wheat hay will soon ba cut. Barley, rye,
oats and corn have been most favorably
affected by the weather. As a rule the
weather in June determines the cereal
crop of Eastern Oregon, but as the season
is some two weeks late this year, the
weather up to July 15 will effect the
crops; so far however, good weather con
ditions have generally prevailed.
- Tho reports this week indicate that
much fruit is dropping. The injurious
effects of the cold rains are now being
shown. Peaches, apricots and prunes
are falling in large quantities. Apples
and pears are falling to some extent, and
it must be now acknowledged that the
fruit has been injured by the April and
May weather. The exleLt of the injury
is not now known, but the correspondents
agree that it will be considerable. Large
shipments of strawberries continue to bo
made. The weather bas apparently not
been detrimental to tbe 'berries, for the
reports indicate that largo crops are in
siiiht. Cherries are ripening rapidly,
and large shipments are being made. A
summary of the reports, wou'd be:

The wagon road from Myrtlo Point to
the Salmon mountain mines has been
completed as far as Deer Park, a distance
of 30 miles, and will soon be completed
the remainder of the distance.
An effort with much promiso of success
is being made to reorganize tbe CoaBt
Carriage & Wagon Co., at Corvallis, and
get the factory to work again. T. M.
Jenkins, capitalist, of Moline, 111., is in
Corvallic, looking into the matter.
Frank Grubbs had Lis thigh bone
broken at Corvallis Thursday afternoon,
by being run over by a wagon heavily
loaded with wheat. The horses were
running away, and in his effort to stop
them he fell from the vehicle, and in
front of the wheels.
Tbe capacity of tbe Monroe flouring
mill is to be increased to 75 barrels per
day. Work on the mill and elevator be
gins today. The building will be 40x90
feet. 55 feet high. The foundation of the
rival mill at Maudeville has already been
laid.
A revolver was accidently discharged
in the saloon at Beaver Hill Thursday
evening, and the bullet struck a colored
man named Ed. Taylor vin the breast,
penetrating bis lungs and passing out
through his back. At last accounts, the
injured man was improving, and it is
thought tbat he will recover.
The right-of-way for the new ditch of
the Little Klamath Water Ditch Co. has
been cleaied nd work on the same will
be commenced from some point near the
source of tbe old one, and will have less
fall, thus making available to irrigation
several thousand acres more of the fertile
lands of the Tule lake valley. This
valley's system of irrigation is an excel
lent one.
The Lady Oregon and tbe Little Daisy
(Hammersley) mines, with mill, etc.,
were sold on Monday last at tbe court
house, in Grant's Pass, on an execution
sued out by Jones A Otten, of Woodville.
Two thousand dollars were offered for the
mines, and $300 for the mill and machin
ery. It is understood that Jones & Otten
will at once put the mine and mill to
work.
A TALE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
The Pistol Carrying Habit Demoralizes
.the Worthiest of Citizens.
This story is told of Mr. Burton, a
Chicago man:
Mr. Burton was aroused shortly after
midnight, by bis wife, who said that
little Freddie was coughing just as
though he had the croup, and for him
(Mr. Burton) to go acd bring the doctor.
Thereupon, Mr. Burton aroused himself,
and assisted by, bis wife, got into his
clothes. As bis wife was helping him
on with his overcoat she asked him,
"Thomas, have you your revolver?"
"No, had I better take it?"
"I should think so. It's .late and the
streets are fearfully dark."
She handed him the weapon, which he
cautiously slipped into the eide nocket of
his overcoat, where he could keep his
band on it.
It was indeed, a very dark night. He
could scarcely discern the shape of trees,
fences and houses.
As he turned the corner he ran heavily
against another man. They collided
fully, and then Mr. Burton jumped
backward with bis heart in his throat.
"Excuse me." said the man in the
I darkness, and he passed on.
Burton took a firmer hold on his
; weapon. Then he hoppened to think of
something. He leit lor nis watcn. n
was gone. Tbe fellow had bumped into
him so as to slip the watch from bis
pocket.
Burton drew his revolver and ran after
the robber, who began to run.
' Stop, or I'll shoot 1" shouted Burton.
The man stopped and leaned against a
fence.
"Now," said Burton, with the revol
ver advanced, "You' give mo that
watch 1"
The robber handed it over.
"Now you skip!"
The fellow, ran.
When Burton reached home he was
pale end excited, but quite exultant.
"A footpad ran into me and grabbed
my watch," said he, "but I drew my
gun and made him give it back "
. "Why, Thomas!" exclaimed his dis
mayed wile, "I took the watch out of
your vest pocket before yon started."
The doctor came in a balf hour later:
He was agitated, and he explained
that be had been called away on an
urgent case at the time when Mr. Burton
called at bis house.
"And right at this next corner," he
added, "I was held np by tbe most
villainous looking highwayman yon ever
saw, and robbed of my watch."

SCARCITY OF MONEY.
Cripple Creek Lamenting the Flush
' Days of the Past.
One of the earliest arrivals in Cripple
Creek after the discovery of gold was
announced was Joe Wolfe, who opened
the first hotel in a big tent, says a
Cripple Creek correspondent of the New
York Sun. Later be built a frame hotel
with muslin partitions separating the
guest chambers. Tbe bar, gambling
tables and dining-room were convenient
ly arranged on the first floor. In one
corner of the room he rigged up a small
sink with a water barrel adjoining, and
there the guests might wash the dust
from their faces iu tin basins if they
chose, tuough it was not deemed neces
sary to present a clean face when enter
ing tbe dining-room. This was tbe
Palace hotel, which was tho business
center of the camp during the boom of
last year. In Joe Wolfe's "Bull Pen,"
sb the railed-in enclosure about the great
mantel and grate in the office was desig
nated, many a mining deal was consum
mated. Wolfe made piles of money in
the hotel business, but when the recent
disasterous bre swept the entire business
district of the town out of existence, and
tbe Palace hotel was consumed to ashes,
be was left penniless. Not only the
fires, ba also a series of disastrous spec
ulations had depleted his pocketbook,
and to add to hie collapse, the municipal
authorities ordered him to tear down tbe
Irame supports which he with great
pluck was rearing upon the Bito of his
hotel on the morning succeeding tbe last
fire. Fire limits had been established,
and Wolfe was not permitted to put np
another frame hotel with muslin parti
tions. As he could not secure sufficient
credit to build a brick structure, bia pro
ject to continue in tbe hotel business was
at an end.
There was one resource left. He
might run a gambling-bouse. Tbe
gambling tables in his hotel had always
been liberally patronized, for be always
ran a "square game," and there was
therefore, no reason why be should not
try his luck at that business. He ac
cordingly secured a big circus tent and
set it up on the site of his burned hotel.
The furnishings of this gambling place,
wbich Joe called the Palace Club, are
gorgeous in the extreme. Hugs of gaudy
patterns, upholstered divans, easy chairs
and brightly-hued trappings give a de
cidedly Oriental effect, while electric
lights spread a noonday linht over the
whole. Tho gaming tables occupy about
one-half of the interior space, and they
are similar to those found in Nolan's
sheet-iron structure further up town and
in the several other gaming-houses of the
camp. With this equipment Wolfe ex
pects to retrieve in a measure his shat
tered fortune, but the games are very
light in the camp just now. There is
little money coming into the camp, and
pay-days have not been very regular nor
large lor several months. Tbe reopening
of a number of the big mines, bowr-ver,
and tbe extra amount of wages paid to
mechanics engaged in the work of re
building the town make the outlook
somewhat encouraging.
If it required an annual outlay of (100
to insuro a family against any serious
consequences from an attack of bowel
complaint during the year there are
many -who would fool it their duty to pay
it; that they could not afford to risk their
lives, and those of their family for such
an amount. Any one can get this in
surance for 25 cents, tbat being the price
of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In al
most every neighborhood some one has
died from an attack of bowel complaint
before medicine could. bo procured or a
physician summoned. One or two doses
of this remedy will cure any ordinary
case. It never fails. Can you afford to
take the risk for so small an amount?

now threatened with each added inch of
high water. If it gets much above the
40 feet stage, which seems an assured
fact, the damage is sure to aggregate many
thousands of dollars, and the whole work
may be ruined irreparably. The loss of
the locks cannot be attributed to a lack
of vigilance on the part of citizens or
press of Eastern Oregon. The threaten
ed danger was brought to the attention
of congress several months ago, when
there was yet time to have prevented it.
Congress was in session, but no measure
cf precaution was taken. It may take
Borne such catastrophy as the loss ot the
locks to awaken the people to a sense
of their rights and bow best to enforce
them. The Dalles Chronicle.
Mr, James Perdue, an old soldier re
siding at Monroe, Mich., was severely
afflicted with rheumatism but received
prompt relief from pain by using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. He says: "At'
limes my back would ache so badly that
I could hardly raise up. If I bad not
gotten relief I would not be here to write
these few lines, Chamberlain's Pain
Balm has done me a great deal of good
and I feel very thankful for it." For
sale by Osburn.
Walla Walla Child Drowned,
The little three-year-old daughter of
Deitrich Eggers was drowned Friday
evening in the Walla Walla. Mr. Eggers
lives about a mile east of the city, and
the millrace north of the North Pacifio
flour mills runs through his place. About
6 o'clock, the little child was playing
alone near the race and in some manner
fell in, It mothet'e attention was attract
ed by the barking of the dog, and she
quickly drew her child from tbe water,
but several minutes bad elapsed and it
was too late. Dr. Stewart was called,
but could do nothing.
Now is the time to provide yourself and
family with a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as
a safe guard against an attack of bowel
complaint during the summer months.
It costs but 25 cents and is almost sure to
be needed before the summer is over.
This remedy never fails, even in the
most severe cases, and ia in fact the only
preparation that can always be depended
upon, When reduced with water it is
ploasant to take. For sale by Osburn.
Coming Trouble.
The sliding mountain near Bonneville
is again causing the O, It. & N, much
trouble. The river washing underneath .
has caused the land on which the road
is built to slide toward the river. By
great exertion on the part of a large force
of men, traffic has so far been compara
tively uninterrupted.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tbe Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken ,
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing wilt be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an (inflam
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give Oat Hundred Dollars for
auy case of doafness (caused br catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free,
