L
Reader, did you ever take Simmons
Liver Regulator, the "mo 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 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.

THE INDIAN'S CUNNING.
How the Squaws Fooled the
U. S. Troops.
WK6T0N lkadkr !
Mrs. Emma Kilgore and children, of
Athena, were visiting irienda at Woeton
during the week. v
Hobo j with epectadea tn Bell have
been occasional visitors at Weston for the
past month. Each has a different sUuy
to tell as to how he came in possession of
his stock in trade. Evidently a large
number of epeotaclea were stolen and
then . distributed among tbe box cr
brethern. .
The Leader ia glad to report that the
brickyard industry will be revived in
Weeton, even on a small scale. The bent
brick in the country are made here, and
only a market is needed. Mr. Kelson
will begin operations next week with a
small force of men, and will make brick
by hand instead of ueiDg the machine.
A Wild Horse correspondent says that
harvest is in full blaet out there j the
King and Gramyan boys are cutting Mr.
Bimpson's 300 acres of wheat. Mr,
Jesse Baker is building a new bouse on
his place, purchased by Mr. Ellis. Mr.
King has the nicest wheat on the Yon
um tuck place Mrs. Grace Hudspeth
is stopping at her father's house this
week. ,
One of the harvesters at the O'Harra
place near Weston, a Mr. Woods was
eeverely hurt yesterday. He was feed
ing the separator, and one of the womleu
pins slipped out of his i;rasp into the
cylinder, drawing his hand in aftf it.
before he could withdraw it his hand
was badly laceratnd by the teeth, and he
will be '"'laid up" about a month fom
the wounds.
A rather otner spodimen of hum rnitv
is tramping around the country acting in
a manner bordering on ineanity. At
one residence recently he demanded il
the lady of the house something to eat;
at uirother place he asked for needle,
thread and buttons. When handed to
him he demanded that more thread
should be given and he then went to
another bouse and demanded more
buttons. ( . ;.,. ., 1 ..
Potatoes promise to be worth some'
thing this year. The crop is poor, and
the price will correspond with their
scarcity. Some of the spuds are taking
a second growth, resulting sometimes in
curious vegetable freaks. One mountain
rancher, J. K. Davidson, who plants a
lance amount of potatoes every Tear
ought to strike it rich this year. He has
forty acres in potatoes, and if they yield
well will get big returns.
Tbe Wee ton mountain Finland! s are
not anxious, apparently, to pay their
obligations, and business men who sell
them goods ou "tick" must take desper
ate chances. The suit by U. W, froeb-,
stel against Abraham Abrahamson to
recover about $300 on promissory notes
due for four years is an example of tho
unpleasant features of having our fellow
citizens from Findland for customers.
The justice of tbe debt has not been
questioned by tho defense, but suit has
been brought in Justice Parkes' court at
Pendleton agaiost Constable Logan of
Weston to recover seven out of the fifteen
head of cattle which Mr, Logan attached.
The Leader is in receipt of an anony
mous letter from Wild Horse stating that
a resident out there "tried to choke his
wife to death" on Sunday last. Accord
ing to our unknown contributor, the
husband "grabbed her by the throat,
thre her down, jumped on her stomach
and tried to mash her; and she told him
he was killing her. She tore away from
him and started to run out of the house,
and be grabbed her again and tried to
choke her. She then ran away from
him and came down to her folks, crying,
her hair hanging down and no hat on."
Owing to the fact that tbe name of lhe
correspondent is not signed the Leadtr
withholds the name of the party accused
and also some of the delectable particu
lars of this domestic drama. If tho
facts have not been overdrawn by our
correspondent, the husband certainly de
serves a dose of tbe treatment he ad
ministrated to bis wifo. Howev3r, there
may be another side to the case.

THE INDIANS' CUNNING.
Rosie Minthorn Told How the Squaws
Fooled General Howard.
Since tet4imouv whs tuken in the case
of the Statu of "O't-gw against Gilbert
Vinthoru, a c'v;!!z.d Indian, charged
with perjury, 6aj a the Tribune, it has
been learned that the accused is not uncle
to the two children of Rosio Minthorn,
deceased, but only kind of half-uncle. It
has also como to light that Rosio Min
thorn, prior to her death on the Nez
Perce reservation, reqeestod that her
brother Charles McOonvillo be ap
pointed guardian of her two little ones.
Proper applUa ion of this has been made
in tho Idaho courts.
In addition to making such a request
orally, Mrs. Minthorn also wrote and
subscribed her name to a writing, of
which the following is a copy ;
"Charley McConville my brother he
one father, jly two boys my brother
will keep them. The oldest boy got land
here. 1 was married in church. I have
160 acres and 40 acres where the house

Nobody must trouble my husband.
"Mrs. Koeia Uabh Oash."
The deceased was first married to
Minthorn, now dead, by hotn she bore
the two children iu question, and later to
Jim Cash Cash.
It has also bmn learnnd that '"Rosie,"
some six years ago, acted as eer?ant jn
the household of Colonel- Parsons, who
yet remembers some of the thrilling
stories told by the then young woman of
the terrible events which happened dur
ing the flight of Chief, Joseph across tho
continent, starting from Lake Wallowa
with General Howard in pursuit. She
would often tell of how, when tho Ind
ians were hotly pursued, the mothers
would take their btibiea and lay down in
the rivers with only their notes above
water while the bulh'ts were whistleing
around them. In this way the squaws
and children were always out of danger
when the fighting began, making it
herder work for Genural Howard. When
the ycung woman tutored tbe household
of Colonel Parsons she was a fine musi
cian, had a rich, sweet voice, and hr.d re
ceived a very fair education.

AB5QMtmM PURE
A BILL OF DAMAGES
Spain Preparing a Claim on
Account of Filibustering.
IS NOT SUPERSTITIOUS
Left
Home on Friday; Was
Nominated on Friday.
Washington, Aug. 15. Tha Spanish
government ia preparing a big bill of
damages to be presented to tho United
States on account of the numerous ex
peditions alleged to have gone from our
ehorea to the relief of tho Cuban insur
gents. In support of its claim for repar
tition, it intends to invoke the precedent
established against Groat Britain in tho
celebrated Alabama claims award, made
by the Geneva arbitration tribupal.
Thore have been reports heretofore that
Spain, at the proper time, would present
a series of claims on aocount of the use
the insurgents have made of the United
States as a base of supplies of hostile
operations in Cuba. These were nothing
more than Tumors until today, when the
government oflUws received copiB cf a
rsnort from the Spanish legation, made
by its 'egal adviser, Mr Calderon Car
iitle. The report ia handsomely printed
in pamphlet form, and, with its five ap
pendices, makes a book of over 300
pates. -
The Wiborg case, recently decided by
the United States enpreme court, is cited
and referred to as the one solitary con
viction obtained ia the United States
since tbe beginning of the present Cuban
insurrection. Tbe attorney says it is
thought proper to show from the caee of
the severe award against Great Britain
what the United States expected of a
neutral cation, and also to recall the
attitudo of Spain toward the United
States during the civil war. The prin
ciples indicated and enforced by the
United States against Great Britain, as
those which should have governed her
would seem, the report says, to be clearly
applicable to the du'ies and legislations
of the United States toward Spain in the
recent instance.
Iu reviewing the Geneva reward, the
report says it was clear that the United
Mates made its complaint mainly upon
the fitting out and shipping from England
of venule and supplies. In concluding
the first section of bis report. Mr. Car
lisle says the powers invested in tho
president of the United States have not
been effectively used for preventing the
carrying on of military expeditions for
bidden by the statutes. -The United
States, he says, contended at Geneva
that no nation can, under cover of the
deficiencies of its own laws, disregard its
duties toward another power. Whatever
pretext and attempts may r-e made to
carry on ttiese expeditions, as peaneiui
and lawful voyage, the fact remain?,
aajs tbe attorney, that from tho begin
mug of the insurrection, the base ol
supplies for war material has been in tho
united States. I bis branch of Mr. Uar-
lit lti's repmt concludes as follows :
To tolerate this state of 8 flairs and
these acts is a violation of the treaties of
neutrality under the law of nations as
they have beeu proclaimed to the rest of
the world bv the United Slates, lo pre
vent and punish these acts which are in
violation of tbe statute laws of this coun
try, it is believed that the federal govern
ment has all the attributes of sovereignity
with respect to the subject under dis
cussion. Nor ia it perceived what
distinction or difference iu principle can
excuse the exercise of the diligence com
mensurate with tho existing emergency
which iu the sight of tbe world they re
quired and enforced against Great Britain
at Geneva"
In conclusion, after a review of tho
proclamations of various presidents of ths
United States, the attorney says that,
while it could r ot be insisted that ono
nation is bound to take notice of tbe ex
istence of an "insurrection in another
country, as it is bound to recognize a
state of public war, it is nevertheless
hound to take notice of such a condition
to the extent that it gives warning to the
citizens and inhabitants in the discharge
of obligations which one friendly nation
owes another, and as a measure of pre
caution must prevent the violation of this
obligation. He declares that the pro
clamations cited in the appendices fully
illustrate tho recognition of this principle
by the United State, which is especially
accentuated by the proclamation of
President Cleveland ou June 12, 1805.
He concludes this portion of bis report by
saying:
"Tbe laws made by lhe municipal au
thorities of the United States cannot
measure or limit the international re
sponsibility of the United States."
Tho officials to whom copies of this
pamphlet wero addressed did not rare to
discuss the matter for publication, but
privately expressed the opinion that
tbe only object of its preparation was the
basis of a claim to b presented against
the United States by Spain on account of
filibustering expeditions.

BRYAN NOT SUPERSTITIOUS.
He Left Home on Friday, Was Nomi
nated for President on Friday and
His Room Was No. 13.
If there is anything, in omena William
Jennings Bryan would seem to be on the
unlucky side. Not only did bis nomina
tion happen on Friday, but he wai as
signed to and occupied room No. 13 at
the Clifton House during convention.
He also took another room, No, 99, wben
Mrs. Bryan arrived here, but he never
theless bung on to No. 13 as long as he
remained in the city.
It is a curious fact, too, in this connec
tion, as illustrating the extent to which
tbe number 13 has entered into his life
here, that he left the city on his way to
his former home in Salem in, this state,
on the 13th day of the month. It may
be that Mr. Bryan in defiance of the
time-honored supersiition, looks upon 13
as an omen of good, rather than ill.
Either that or there will be many who
will see in this commingling o! the num
ber 13 and Friday evidences of tbe dis
aster awaiting the ambitious young Nob
raskan. It is probably the fact, how
ever that he had more fun for hia money
than any of the visitors to the convention,
for his bill at the Clifton house for both
himself and Mrs. Bryan amounted to
only $13.50.
A tew days after his arrival he handed
Mr. Kohler a package of bills amounting
to $60 with the requst that he place
them in tbo office safe.
This was done and on his departure he
walked up to the cashier's window and
neked for his bill, at the same time call
ing for the $60 and expressing the hope
that it was sufficient to square his
account.
He was told by the clerk that it was
more than enough and when he was
handed a receipted bill and $16.50 be
said, with much satisfaction :
"If there is another man who can come
here and get the presidential nomination
and only pay a hotel bill of $43.50 I
would like to find bim."
The remark was overheard by several
men who were standing near and a laugh
was raised by one of them saying :
"It once cost me $500 to try to get the
nomination for governor,"
Mr. Bryan joined in the laugh and,
turning, said, to the speaker :
"Perhaps it was cheaper to lose lhe
$500 than ,to get tho nomination."
Chicago Tribune.
Tariff Is the Issue.
Congressman W. R. Ellia arrived in
The Dallos Wednesday. He was inter
viewed by a Dalles Chronicle reporter
and stated that he would stump Oreuon
( in the cause of McKinloy and protec
tion. "The general impression among
the people of the state is that you favor
tbo silver side of the question?" said the
reporter.
'Oh, not wholly," responded Mr.
Ellis with a deprocating gesture.
"I have been friendly with both
metals, and should like to see the largest
use of both consistent with keeping
up tbe parity, I am not one of those
number who believe that great disorder
is to follow tbe financial Issue, no matter
which way it is Buttled. Whatever may
be the result of tho election I do not be
lieve we shall have any great panic or
commotion. I think McKinlry will be
elected and that tho fight is going to be
settled along republican line and I do
Dot think the financial plank is the moat
Important. There are several others
ahead of that. I believe the tariff plank
is paramount to all others. Then the
old established republican principle of
restriction of immigration is of more Im
portance than the financial plank.
There are several that In my judgement
come ahead of that one.

Sliding Mountain Won't Stop.
The sliding mountdn just below the
Upper Cascades Is one of the wonders of
tbe western world. It has tl e slides this
year worse than usual, and its move
ment has rendered necessary the re-location
of the O. U, & N. Co'i. railway for a
distance of some 1200 feet. The new lina
will be moved some 60 feet back, and
will be eighteen feet higher than tbe
present line, which has gone away below
grade, owing to the sinking and sliding
of the land. The railroad engineers have
become so accustomed to tbe antics cf
sliding mountain that they just let it
slide, and wben it gi ts the track too far
down, they move it up again. Ore
