REGULATOR
Header, did you ever take Simmons
Liver Regulator, the "Kingi 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 Indiges'tion 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.

COMMISSION MERCHANTS
WHEAT TO STAY UP
JIarket Feverish, But World
Supply is Short.
PRICES WILL FLUCTUATE
But Indications are Favorable
for the Producer.
Oregonian: The feverish state of the
Wheat market continues to be a univers
al topic throughout the entire northwest.
The phenomenal rise o! last week; carried
wheat within . five days to an extreme
point, which, under ordinary conserva
tive business methods would not have
been reached for at least two weeks.
This abnormal advance suffered a natural
reaction, and the market has been on, a
steady decline for the past fire days, and,
as the fever seems to be subsiding, has
now about reached a normal condition
again, and in due season it doubtless will
work back to a higher level of prices.
Ordinarily, England is responsible for
declines and advances in wheat, but in
the present case, the credit for the ad
vance goes to her, while the blame, if
blame can be attached for the slump,
lies with the American market. -
When the price was climbing at the
rate of 2 to 5 cents; a day, an enormous
amount of wheat was offered at all of the
exporting points in the country, and, as
speculators had great faith in the value
of wheat, founded on the shortage in the
world's supply, they eagerly took - up
everything that was offered, and in a
very few days were loaded to their full
est capacity., Every dollar that they
could secure was put into wheat.. The
American speculators were more anxious
for wheat than the Europeans, and in
their eagerness bid np a trifle above the
English market. Then, the Britisher
waited, and the Americans were compell
ed to let go, in order to liquidate with the
grower, the warehousemen, the railroads
and others interested in the deal. The
English always boy as cheaply as they
can, and, when the New York and Chic
ago speculators found -they had pressed
the money market to the limit, and had
to unload immediately, they fell over one
another in their eagerness to unload
wheat at any price they could get. The
Remember This When You Vote. ;
In conclusion, Mr. President, i3 it not about tide this' great na
tion, these United States of America, should assert its monetary, as
well as its commercial, independence? Are we, with our vast ter
ritory, ouMmmeasurable resources, our model government, our 70,
000,000 of brave, intelligent, aggressive, independent people, to for
ever acknowledge our dependence on Great Britain or any other
power on earth in either a monetary or any other sense? " Must we,
while denying the right f any government on the globe, , republic
an or monarchial," liberal or despotic, to dictate to us as the charac
ter of our legislation upon any or all the great questions' touching
our industrial and commercial interests, questions involving the
right of expatriation, the character of people we shall admit to our
shores, the encroachment of alien system, even to limits far beyond
our national borders, but upon the hemisphere upon which we live, :
questions involving our national honor, and every conceivable sub
ject pertaining to our present and future welfare, and the promo-'
tion and progress of our civilization, save and except one that.ro
iating to our monetary system and so as to that one must we be
forever subst-rvient to the will, and the wish, - and , the dictation of
Great Britain? John H. Mitchell. , , i
placing of such an immense amount of
wheat on the market at one time natural
ly caused a great shrinkage in the price
Shipments continue to go to India, but
at the same time email exports are being
made from that country. The wheat
business there is handled in a vory pe
culiar manner. The growing is mostly
on a comparatively small scale, but the
aggregate output of each section iu con-!
trolling by the parsees, who wield a great
influence over the rest of the population
and force them to sell or hold their wheat
just as they direct. In this way it is
possible for a large proportion of the crop
to be held back a good year to be unload
ed in a poor year. . Cases are reported by j
buyers at Delhi, where wheat had been j
kept so many years that, when it was
finally marketed, the ravages of the
weavil bad reduced the weight per bushel
to 35 pounds. It is possible that the
parsees may , be supplied with enough
old wheat to cause a cessation of imports
when the price, reaches a satisfactory
stage. However, it is definitely known
that the crop has sustained enough dam
age by drouth to cut off a vast supply
that would otherwise come into competi
tion with American grain.
The world's wheat crop with the ex
ception of Argentine, is not on the mar
ket, and its dimensions have been gaug
ed accurately enough to show thut there
is a great ehort lge. It is also known that
Argentine, which is the only producer
yet to be heard from" bfore the world
raises another crop, will not export as
heavily as in former years. These con
ditions are responsible for the rise in
wheat throughout the world, and, until
they are changed, there is little or no
danger of cheaper wheat. The manipu
lators ofrspecalators, and the stringency
of the money market may cause farther
violent fluctuations, but when they pass,
the inexorable law of supply and de
mand will keep the price at a good round

HE KILLED THE BOOK AGENT.
History of the Case That Ended In
" William Bare's Conviction. f
William - Bare was found guilty of
murder in the second degree iu Canyon
City last week, and sentenced to impris
onment in the penitentiary for life. The
history of the case in brief ia this :
' Late in November of last year.' George
A. Scott, a book agent, .went into that
section delivering books and collecting
his money. He proceeded without
trouble until he reached the poBtoflice at
Izee, about 40 miles from Canyon City.
He disappeared from that point on the
5th of December, and no trace of him was
fouBd until the following April. - Then it
was found that an old sheep cabin in an
isolated spot bad been burned down, and
in the ashes were found traces of the
missing peddler. A careful search on
the Bpot in the vicinity revealed a few
small human bones, cart and harness
irons, the carcass of the peddler's horse
and other evidence. The theory at once
sprang up that the peddler had been
murdered for his money, and that his
body and personal effects had been dis
troyed as far as possible by fire. Suspic
ion pointed to William Bare and Richard
flinkle as the perpetrators of the crime.
They were arrested, but ou the prelim
inary hearing Hinkle was discharged and
Bare held. The evidence against Bare,
though entirely circumstantial, was clear,
and he was convicted.
Morrow All Right.
There has been a great deal of talk
pro and con about Morrow county. Re
publicans have claimed all along that
this county would give McKinley a ma
jority. EJ Bishop, formerly cashier of
the First National Bank of Heppner,
who is considered a careful and conserva
tive Ogurer and is a man who is thorough
ly poeted on the political situation in
that county, gave out a month ago that
Morrow county would give McKinley a
majority of 25 ; while that many demo
crats claimed that Bryan would receive
from 25 to 50 majority. Late reports
seem to leave little doubt that the coun
ty swill give Bryan a majority. There is
plenty of Bryan money at Heppner beg
ging to be covered and the eocretarv of
the Bryan club at Heppner has written
that Morrow county will positively go for
Bryan. - ;
Keep Your Eye on This.
The 11 rut is from the republican nation
al platfDrm, which no doubt most voters
have ere this committed to memory :
"We are therefore opposed to the free
coinage of silver except by international
agreement with the leading commercial
nations of the world, which we pledge
ourselves to promote, and nntil such an
agreement can be obtained the existing
gold standard mast be preserved." -.
And toe next is from a leaflet that is
being widely circulated and pretty gen
erally published by the gold press :
"la 1873, 1383, 18'J2 three international
conferences held to try to re-establish
the use of silver were unsuccessful." -

examination of the skull accidently re

some inexplainablo chemical action
caused the flake gold to adhere to the
teeth while the sheep was browsing upon
the grassroots. Earp has ordered 500

THE LOSSES.
Caused By the Burning of the Wes
ton Mill. ! : " ;
The mill was built in 1888, at a cost of
about $18,000. Its , present value baa
been conservatively estimated at $10,
000. This is a total loss to the- owner, I.
E. Baling, as there was no insurance on
the plant. There was about 8,000 bush
els of wheat in the grajnary and 1,800 in
the mill, all of which was destroyed ex
cept a few hundred sacks of more or less
damaged wheat in the ruins. It was in
sured at from 45 to 50 cents per bushel.
The owners were :
J. M. O'Harra, 3347 bushels; Joe Zig
man, -1006; Will Zigman, 850; Wm.
Lieuallen, 1073 i Charles Baddeley, 1035;
Stump & McCaw, 1202. t
The loss to the lessees of the mill on
their stock flour, feed, wheat, sacks,
etcis conservatively estimated at $3,
000. They carried $2,000 insurance.
The heaviest blow to them, and the com
munity as well, lies in the fact that they
were building up a successful and profit
able bualnesB and were making the mill
a valuable property. Leader.
Hair Restored to Natural Color.
I have used many preparations ior re
storing hair to natural color, but never
had satisfactory results until I used Zulu
Vulier; it will restore any hair or beard
to its natural color in three weeks. If it
doea not they return your money, so you
take no risks. People who have never
tried it can get a sample package which
contains enough to restore anyone's hair
to natural color, by sending 21 2-cent
stamps, - to pay postage etc., to Wil
son & Co., New Concord, Ohio.
' The regular price is $2.50 a package.
If it does not restore your hair to natural
color, or make any color of hair darker
in three weeks, they will return your
stamps. This proposition is so fair that
thousands are using it. It is harmless
but never fails. Why can't big money
oe made by selling Zulu : Vulior from
