The wheatsales day in Pendleton
Wednesday was again a marked fail
are, as was tbe previous one. Some
25,000 saoks of wheat Was offered for
sale, but there were no buyers present
to bid on tbe grain. Today in Atbena
there is also a salesday, and from in
dications tbis morning there will be
no bids made ou tbe grain to be offer
ed for sale. For tbe apparent studied
indifference ou tbe part of grain deal
ers regarding these salesdays, there is
evidently a reason, wbicb, if tbey felt
so disposed, perhaps could be explain
ed from tbe head offices at the termin
al points. There is evidently an un
derstanding existing between tbe big
wheat sbippiug companies, and the
seller does not need tbe rise of a mi
oroscopio lense to see that tbe under
standing is being lived up to. In
dications would seem to justify the
statement of a leading wheat raiser,
when he said that a combine exists
and wheu a market quotation is given
out, tbe different companies will not
bid above tbe price quoted. Tbe gen
eral result of this understanding can
be nothing more than only the market
prioe will he paid for wheat, whether
on a salesday or any other duy.
You can always tell whether a man
in married or single when you see him
go through a screen door, says the
Wellington Kan., News. If be is
married bo approaches tho door cau
tiously, glances around nervously,
then takes off his hat and swipes it
up and down tbe door two or three
times. He then quietly opens the
door about two inches, squeezes him
self through and closes it with a quiok
snap. Tbe length of time he has been
married may bo determined by tbe
degree of fear and nervousness indica
ted in bis countenance.

HIS OWN CASK AN EXCEPTION.
Spokosmau-Review.
Shall a man who has constantly and
vigorously denounced divoroe be de
barred by the publio sentiment from
marryiug a divorced woman? This is
the problem which has created a seu
satioual ruction iu a Chicago Congre
gational obnrob. The pastor, a wid
ower with three growu children, has
announced his eugagement to toe
womau who for some time time past
baa been bis secretary. Tbis woman
secured a divoroe from ber husband
last June beoause of incompatibility.
The friendship between the pastor
and his secretary whs noticed by
members of the church, but no one
seems to have thought that it would
lead to a marriage.
Now that tbe aunounoement is sud
denly made publio, many of those
who have listeued to the pastor's fre
queut and emphatic denunciations of
divorce are shocked that be 'should
apparently coutradict himself in mar
ryiug a divorced woman. Tbe fact
that the woman is a daughter of oue
of tbe trustees of the church and of
estimable character does uot tend to
lessen the objections of that portiou of
the churoh membership which has
imbibed to the full exteut tbe doc
trines of the marriage relationship ex
pounded from the pulpit It would
seem that tbe pastor has preached too
well against e reooguiaed evil, not
realiaiug the peculiar circumstauces
that might aria iu his own case.
He may argue that, as there is no
rule without au exception, his case
may reasonably be accepted as a pro
per exceptiou to the general line of
coudnct which be advocates for others.
At all events, he does not propose to
be swerved from his present intention
of marrying, even if ho has to resign
his pastorate in order to prevent a
split iu the chuioh. It is something
to his credit that bo has affected a
degree of earnestness as is now being
shown, but it is (be privilege of any
man to modi fly his views in subjects
under discussion, and if this, preacher
sees good reason to believe now that
all divorces are not as open to oensure
as be has heretofore contended, he can
not be blamed. .

teachers of all the sevrrnt schools of
practice endorse and recommend, -In the
strongest terms ksI11o. ouch and every
ingrtxlient entering into tho composition
of Dr. I'itTco's Golden Medical Discovery
for the cum of wetvk utomach, dyspepsia,
catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint,"
torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel
affections, and all catarrhal diseases of
whatever region, name or nature. It is
also a specific remedy for all such chronic
or long standing cases of catarrhal affec
tions and their resultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseases (except consump
tion) accompanied with severe coughs. It
is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering, or chronic cases )t is
especially efficacious In producing per
fect cures. It contains lilack Cherry bark,
Golden Seal root, Woodroot, Stone root.
Mandrake root and Queen's root all of
which are highly praised as remedies for
ill the above mentioned affections by such
eminent medical writers and teachers as
Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. Col
lege; Prof. Hare, of tho Univ. of Pa.;
Prof. Finley Elllngwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Med. College, Chicago ; Prof. John
King, M. D., late of Cincinnati ; Prof.
John M. Scudde.r, M. D.. late of Cincin
nati; Prof. Edwin M. Hale. M. D., of
Hahnemann Med. College, Chicago, and
scores of others equally eminent in their
several schools of practice.
The "Golden Medical Discovery " is the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes, that has any
such profex&tonal endorsement worth
more than any number of ordinary testi
monials. Open publicity of its formula
on the bottle wrapper is the best possible
guaranty of its merits. A glance at this
published formula will show that "Golden
Medical Discovery" contains no poison
ous or harmful agents and no alcohol
chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine
being used instead. Glycerine Is entirely
unobjectionable and besides is a most
useful ingredient in tho cure of all stom
ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung
affections. There is the highest medical
authority for its use in all snch cases.
Tho "Discovery " is a concentrated glyc
eric extract of native, medicinal roots
and is safe and reliable.
