ATHENA, JANUARY 13, 1905
There is another "run" on Carnegie.
Pittsburg dispatches state that fully
20,000 persons who regard themselves as
heroes have applied for Carnegie medals.
Heroes in every state of the union, from
Maine to California, are sending notifi
cations of their claims to the Carnegie
hero fund commission. Every nook
and corner throughout this broad land
has yielded up one or more heroes.
Hundreds have discovered themselves
in Pittsburg alone. A peculiar part of
the afluir is that, although the commis
sion was organized in April, 1904, not a
single award has been made. The ma
chinery of the commission has become
clogged; in fact, the wheels have almost
stopped. As for the overworked secre
tary and his colleagues of the commis
sion , they are almost afraid to speak the
word "hero" above a whiBper for fear of
starting a fresh run en the office before
the 20,000 or more heroes who are al
ready registered have been sorted and
mounted on particular pedestals to
which their valorous deeds entitle them.
Senator Fulton is talking a good deal
these days about the flimsy character
and insufficiency of the evidence upon
which indictments have been found. If
Mr. Fulton has inside information as to
the proceedings in the grand jury room
he would probably confer a great favor
upon the government attorneys by" giv
ing them the names of the parties who
, divulged the workings of the inquisit
ors, says the Irrigon Irrigator.. No one
should pronounce a man guilty from the
fact that he is indicted. Neither
should we jump to the other extreme
and say a man must be innocent because
he occupies a high position, or because
he was never before charged with a
crime. The safer way is to quietly await
the action of the courts. The fact that
a man is a senator or member of con
gress should . uot weigh for or against
him. All men must stand equal before
the law.
A grange in Union county is up in
arms at this lute hour shouting itself
hoarse over threadbare issues against
the portage roa 3. It met and drew up
some resolutions, threats and questions,
all of which are antedeluvian. The mem
bers of that grange have been asleep
for years and awoke too late. They go
scurrying down to the legislature in the
great name of the common people to ask
the legislature to revoke what the peo
ple appioved. All the questions thoy
propose have boon answered until no
one with an atom of gray matter will
venture to ask them Hgain and they
warn the legislature to look sharp for
the tremendous wrath of a grange whose
secretary is an old maid. All the re
ply this "powerful" institution will re
ceive will be a bland smile while the
work of construction continues. Pen
dleton Tribune.
The winter egg question is the para
mount one with poultry raisors and
farmers' wives now as there is more
ready cash in marketable eggs these
days than in most any other product of
the farm. There is a great diversity and
variety of advice being offered upon the
subject, and it is a noticable fact that
few authorities agree upon its essential
features, even to say nothing of the
variations. This is probably because
local and climatic conditions largely
govern this particular feature of the
poultry raising industry, as it does all
others.
Sarah Bamhardt has led perhaps the
most strenuous life of any person now
before the public. Hor stage deaths by
self administered poisons, total about
10,000; she has jumped into the scenic
artist's seine over 7,000 times; she has
sent over 5,000 imaginary bullets into
her head from a revolver, while about
the same number of daggers have been
plunged into her emaciated anatomy.
QThe Russo-Japanese war is a hugely
costly one in men. The casualties among
the Japanese at Port Arthur 70,000;
other battles, 78,000; total, 158,000.
Total killed is estimated at 56,000. Rus
sian casualties at Port Arthur, 21,000; in
other battles, 129,000; total, 150,000.
Total killed about 67,000.
Oregon's legislature would not be a
legislature, without a deadlock. The
lock commenced to deaden at the be
ginning of the present session, but was
unlocked on the sixty-fifth ballot by the
election of Kuykendall of the Mitchell
faction, to the presidency of the senate.
A $40,000 Hospital.
James Mullinex, superintendent of
the Walla Walla hospital, is "at the head
of a corporation that has a capital stock
of $40,000 to be used in building a new
hospital.
Sickening Shivering- Fits
of ague and malaria can be relieved and
cured with Electric Bitters. This is a
pure tonic medicine; of especial benefit
in malaria, for it exerts a true curative
influence on the disease, driving it en
tirely out of the system. It is much to
be preferred to quinine, having none of
this drug's bad after effects. H. Mun
day, of Henrietta, Texas, writes: "My
brother was very low with malarial fever
and jaundice, till he took Electric Bit
ters, which saved his life." At Mc
Bride's drug store; price 50c guaranteed.
Greatly in Demand.
Nothing is more in demand than a
medicine which meets modern require
ments for a blood and system cleanser,
such as Dr. King's New Life Pills. They
are just what you need to cure stomach
and liver troubles. Try them, at Mc
Bride's drug store, 25c, guaranteed.
I'll brave the storms of Chilkoot Pass,
I'll cross the plains of frozen glass,
I'd leave my wife and cross the sea,
Rather than be without Rocky Moun
tain Tea. Pioneer drug store.
A Grim Tragedy
is daily enacted in thousands of homes
as death cldms in each one another
victim of consumption or pueumonia.
But when coughs and colds are proper
ly treated the tragedy is averted. F. Q.
Huntley of Oaklandon, Ind., writes:
"My wife had consumption and three
doctors gave her up. Finally she took
Dr. Kiug's New Discovery for consump
tion, coughs and colds, and today she is
well and strong." It kills the germs of
all diseases. One dose relieves. Guar
anteed at 50c and 81 by Wm. McBride,
druggist. Sample bottle free.

Errors of refraction and musclar errors of the eye successfully treated. Do
you have any trouble with your eyes? If so, I guarantee to give you relief.
A few of the many symptoms: Headache, dizziness, aversion to bright lights,
sleepy feeling while reading, bluring of objects either at close range or distance,
frowning or squinting, smarting or burning sensation in or around the eye, fatigue
or requiring a stronger light when reading, dark spots floating or bright lights
flashing before the eyes.
You can't remedy an eye defect without glasses.- You may sometimes over
come, or in the parlance of Optics, "accommodate" a defect by persistently taxing
the muscles of the eyes; but you cannot cure it by that method of treatment. The
only way is to supply the deficiency in the lens of the eye by the use of the artificial
lens, thereby making vision again normal. Glasses fitted properly, accurately,
scientifically to all defects of sight; artistically, as regards frame fitting and size of
lens; satisfactorily, as to ease, comfort and price.
We court comparison in goods, fitting and method, and require but n oppor
tunity to convince as to the ease, comfort and pleasure afforded in the perfect vis
ion. Corrections always g'ven. ' '
