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 poisonB 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 Civer Regulator is better than Pills. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly refreshes and strengthens. Every package lias the Bed Z stamp on the wrapper. J. II.

Returns from the small towns and plantations in the distant part of the state are. as usual, coming in Blowly. It is not probable that all of them will be heard from before to morrow. The votes from the cities and towns, which poles more than two thirds of the entire vote, indicates, however, that the republican plorality is between 48,000 and 50,000, the largest in tho his tory of the state, in every county the republican ticket was successful. Al most every town showed republican gains. The democratic vote is about 40 per cent less than in 1892. About 20 per cent of this has gone to the republican ticket, the other half are stay-at-homes. The vote of the populists and prohibitionists throughout the state show a loss from 1892 of about 26 per cent. The total vote is estimated at 124,000 in round numbers. Republicans 83,160, democrats 34,840, scattering 6,500. The republican plural- combined wealth of these men is greater than all Europe, except Russia, and is three-fifths larger than all the cultivated farming lands of the country.

Joseph Schlar Takes the Greater Part 5 ; of Palouse City. Title to 160 acres of land on which the western half of Palouse City stands, was finally awarded to Jacob Schlat, who is making his final proof before the looal land office today. . This tract of land includes the site of the Northern Pacific depot turn-table, water tank and even the right of way, besides the large Knapp, Qurrell & Co. warehouse and a number of residences and other buildings. Mrs. Wright originally bought this tract from the railroad company under contract, and subsequently sold her right to a man named Powers. The latter has throughout the controversy claimed that he rented it to Schist. After Schlat had been there for awhile the lieu land ex citement came up and Schlat claimed it as a homestead under the settlement laws, filing a contest against the com pany. The local office at Walla Wallla sustained him in his contention and the decision was affirmed by the commission er and awarded the land to ttcblat who will proceed at once to make final proof. The railroad company asked for a review of the secretary's decision, but this was denied. The papers for final proof by Schlat were received at the local land office to day. It is understood that Schlat will now serve notice on the occupants, in cluding the railroad company, to settle with him or move off. ' The old Spokane Investment Company, of which A. M.

"If the influences which are at work here for the destruction of silver as the standard money succeed in this election, and the in fluence of this nation is cast deliberately upon the side of gold as the only primary money, you must remember that these same in- ' fluences will be turned against the weaker nations, and nation after nation will be driven from the use of silver as standard money to . the use of gold alone, and every nation that joins in the demand of gold money may help to increase the purchasing power of an ounce of gold, and every time the purchasing power of an ounce of goldshall rise, the price of products of human labor will fall, because a dear money is but another definition of cheap property. A dollar cannot buy more unless property sells for less. If you think you have hard times, what would it be if these same influences succeed in diving India to a gold standard? Wait until they make gold the standard of India; wait until those 250,000,000 people reach s; out for their shares of the world's supply of gold. Where will they get it? They will get it from nations which now ,have it and these nations will then have less. Wait until these influences have driven China to a gold standard and her 350,000,000 of people demand their Bhare of the world's supply of gold. Where will they get it? From the nations that now have it, and they will have less thau they have now. Wait until they have driven Japan and South America, and all the other silver using nations to a gold standard; and then what? Then you have a little chunk of gold, 22 feet each way, melted into a cube, and that little chunk of gold will measure all the property of the globe. You will then have something like $4,000,000,000 of standard money instead of $8,000, 000,000; and those $4,000,000,000 will be in shape where the money can be cornered by the great money owners of the world, and dealt out to mankind at such prices as the owners shall demand. "That, my friends, is what the gold standard means. Suppose the people of this city should derive their water supply from one great spring, and suppose that the one spring that furnishes water , for all the people was owned by one person or a few persons who acted in concert, what would be the result? No matter how hard the times might be for all the rest of the people, those who own ; that spring and furnish that water at what price they would, would always get along tolerably well in this world. I believe that illus trates just what will go on if the crusade in favor of gold continues to its legitimate, its natural, its logical conclusion. It will mean that those who are able to control the supply of gold of the world will be able to dictate terms to the rest; it will simply mean that, while the people are nominally free, they will simply be hewers of wood and drawers of water for those who control the money supply of the world. Do you say that this is a remote contingency ? Now, my friendp, it is not a remote contingency; it is the natural result of the triumph of the gold standard in the United States.

Saturday night next, the Oregon In dustrial Exposition opens at Portland. Arrangements have been made for cheap railroad fares to end from the city during the entire exposition. There are also being arranged special excursions at muoh cheaper rates to tun into the city at the times of the greatest special attrac tions. The management has provide ed an attraction for every day of the fair. Some of these are extremely novel and highly entertrining. There will be a grand merchants' carnival ; also a flower carnival of children; there will be a minstrel show in which the performers will be all well known Portland ladies , there will be a complete Chinese theatre ; there will be special nights devoted to the Odd Fellows, the Elks, the Wood man, the Bed Men, the Workmen, and the Foresters. Oa these occasions, ex cursions will bo run from all points in the Northwest, bring the members of thene orders and their friends, for a strand celebration in Portland. There will be a grand choral night, at which there will be chorus and solo singing, aim there will be a weddioi niKht. when two couples will be united amid great ceremony and music and flowers. The exhibits will be more numerous and finer than ever be fore. The manufacturers of the North west will make Bpecial displays, and will have working exhibits, showing tho vari ous processes of the manufacture of goods The greatest display of the natural re sources and products of the Pacific North west ever brought together has been col' lected for this exposition. Twice as much space as has ever before been do voted to this feature is now occupied by this magnificent collection. Even the producers of the Pacific NorthweBt will themselves be astonished at this display, while the thousands of visitors from abroad will simply be overwhelmed by u. The attendance from outside the city promises to bo the largest in tho history of expoBilione in Portland. A Strange Incident. A test meter experienced a strange in cident while driving on the road between Baker City and Sparta recently. During a hot day, while driving leisurely along without thought of danger or anything very remarkable, a tank of nitric acid exploded in bis wason with such force as to throw him from his seat. . After the explosion fire was seen to iBeue from the load, and everything was done to quench the flames, with but little success. The result was that 5 sack of oats, 300 feet of fuse and other merchandise was destroy ed besides the damage to the wagon. A GRAND RONDE RANCH. 7,- OREGON EXHIBIT AT ST. PAUL. Harvesting and Threshing at the OOO-acre Conley Ranch. The light showers of the past few days have not damaged to any material extent the immense crop of grain now about two-thirds harvested in Union county. MeBsra Jacob Newman and Mark Stev ens drove out ten miles Wednesday to the great wheat farm of A. B. Conley. From these gentleman the La Urande Chronicle learns some interesting facts. While Conley has several thousand bushels of oats and barley, the main crop of wheat, of which he will have nearly 140,000 bushels, over ona-balf, or 80,000 bushels, being already threshed. The labor force is new 85 men, is work horses, seven large size headers and five threshing machines. The method of work la instructive, in the bed of the header wagon is a cradle, which is lifted bodily on the stack, ready to thresh, thus doing away with the old and slow pitchfork style, lhe grain, when threshed, is run up an incline rail way and dumped by the wagon ioad into the top of the grainery building Teams from the Conley ranch are also hauling by contract several thousand bushels of wheat to the Pioneer flouring mills at Island City. The nearly 100 people employed on the ranch are divided into four boarding gangs, and bave eating quarters in as many locations. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Hartley, of Elgin, manage the boarding department, having full charge of the cooks and waiters. The amount of fo'od that they must have prepared may be judged by the fact that over 40 good milch cows are required for butter, cream and milk. : While Union county raises trainloads grain, fruit, hogs, sheep, cattle and horses Mr. A. It. Ooloy is certainly the grain king of the country. BEALE 6:01 a. m. 9:32 p, in. z:zd p. m. 10 a. m. I Main Street, Athena, Obeoos -THE- COMMERCIAL fir 6 6 4 'a FIRST NETIONSL BERK-.'

They bought of Powers an un divided interest in about 100 acres of the land and laid it ont in town lots. Then the property wan divided up and the in vestment company sold a large share of it, giving warranty deeds, which are now supposed to be valueless, so far as the warranty is concerned, as tne company no longer exists. When Schlat gets his title, the parties occapying by purchase ill doubtless seek to be reim pursed, and the supposition is that they will endeavor to recover from the nilroad company, wtij sold the land to the predecessors of Powers. In that event, also, it is thought Schlat will demand compensation from the railroad company or seek to compell it to move off. A long and tedious liti gation is anticipated unles the parties can come together and settle by arbitra tion. The New Hook Spoon Free to All. I read in the Christian Standard that Miss A. M. Friis, Station A., fit. Louis, Mo , would give an elegant plated hook spoon to any one sending her ten 2-cetit stamps. I sent for one and found it is useful that I showed it to my friends, and made $13.00 in two hours, taking orders for the ppoon. The hook spoon is a household necessity. It cannot slip into the dish or cvtking veisel, being held in the plate by a hook on tho back. Tbs spoon U. something that housekeepers have needed ever since spoons were first invented.

" Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseaeed portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness nnd that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Euo- taciiian Tube. When thia tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or m perfect hearing, and when it is entire- closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its 'normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed for ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an i inflam ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
