THE CONDOM GLOBE. FRIDAY, JANUARY 11. 1895. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY, OREGON. - IS MARRIAGE A FAILURE! Seattle Post-Iutelllgencer. No more etupid question is pro pounded than the current inquiry, 'Is marriage a failure?" You might as well ask, "Is business a failure?" Men embark in mar riage as they do in business from a variety of motives; have a vast variety of methods, a vast differ ence in ideals. If we knew noth ing of business except from the records and testimony of bank ruptcy cases, prosecution for mis feasance or malfesance in business, we conclude that uo man ought to embark in a commercial career; so of marriage, if we knew nothing of it save the records and testimony of divorce suits or of those notor iously unhappy marriages that never seek the rehet of divorce, but either take to flight, lead lives of infamous infidelity within wedlock or ... sullenly "griu and bear" the ' consequences of their mistake un til death puts asunder what God never joined, we should think "marriage a failure," but we all know that it is the wounded. birds that always flutter; we all know that there are thousands of success ful, upright, honest men of busi ness who are not obliged to go into court to confess the failure of their methods or their incapacity for a commercial career; we all know there are thousands of married folks who never trouble the di vorce courts because they have no cause for serious dissatisfaction. Marriage is a failure just as a com mercial career is a failure which is subordinated to low motives, sharp practice and immoral ideals. If a man or woman marries without affection, for a home, for social ad vantage or for some equally mer cenary thought, what business have they to pronounce "marriage a failure" if they get exactly what they bargained for? If they get more than they bargained for and a mercenary, worldly marriage be comes by happy evolution a true marriage of affection, conjugal loy alty and felicity they surely have reason to congratulate themselves, but if they married from low mo tives and got only what they bar gained for. what business have they to be denouncing "marriage a failure" because they find uo spirit ual sweetness in it? The Connecticut supreme court has permitted an appeal by the state in a murder case, where the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty," notwithstanding the con stitutional provision that a man may not be put iu jeopardy twice for the same offense. The court holds that an error in the lower tribunal in excluding certain evi dence which might have changed the result, so vitiated its proceed ings that the trial stand uncom plete, and the constitutional pro vision, therefore, does not apply. This, it would seem, is a reasona ble view to take of the matter. It . has always seemed one-sided jus tice to allow the defense the right of appeal while the state has been barred. The dreadful holocaust at Silver Lake on Christmas eve was simply the springing of a death-trap, thousands of which are set all over the country in the form of aeeem- bly halJs without proper means of exu in case or a panic. Any large assemblage of people is subject to fright in case of fire, and then hu man beings act like sheep rush ing and crowding over the weaker in their insane attempt to escape. If the majority of that ill-fated as sembly at Silver Lake had kept cool and eet about smothering the lire instead of frantically attempt ing to get away from it the large death roll would not be appalling the people of Oregon today. There is no country in the Uni ted States blessed by a more health ful climate than Eastern Oregon. The climate possesses two distinc tive qualities, one a marine, the other a mountain, there is no other such climate to be found in Amer ica. Chills and fever are unknown. It ia a country where tornados have never yet been known to visit, neither does the blizzard's blast chill one to the marrow, nor does the furious hurricane lay waste the (toiinfrv fir destrnv Ufa anA itmn. erty, but it is one continual balmy saineneBH and oue can scarcely realize that the season changes. -Governor Sylvester Pennoyer of Oregon has endowed Williams col lege with a scholarship of .f 3.450 in memory of his son, who died there last term. The money is to b used for the support of needy and deserving students, preference being given to Oregon students, when such are in the college.

An observance of them will enable one to avoid many mis takes that may be serious, and steer the innocent from many pit falls that may be calamitous. Ihey contain in few words the essence of a large amount of legal verbiage, not always very intelligible: Lach individual in a partner ship is responsible for the whole amount of the debts of the firm, except in cases of "special" part nership. Coutracts made on Sunday can not be enforced. A contract made with a minor is void. A contract made with a lunatic (or with one who has a general reputation for weak-mindedness) is void. The latter case must, however, be clearly established. The act of one partner binds all the other partners. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud No consideration is sufficient in law if it be illegal in its nature Many "failures" are upset because of this law. A receipt for money is not al ways conclusive. An agreement without consider ation is void. The law compels no one to do impossibilities. (This must be lib erally construed). Ignorance of the law excuses no one. Note especially the following, as affecting the giving and taking of notes: . A note made on Sunday is void. A note made by a minor is void. A note obtained by fraud from a person in a state of intoxication cannot be collected. Notes bear interest only when so stated. If a note is lost or stolen it does not release the maker; he must pay it if the consideration for which it was given and the amount can be proved. Signatures made with a led pen cil are good in law. The maker of an "accomodation" note (one for which he has receiv ed no consideration, having lent his name and credit for the accom modation of the holder) is not bound to the person accommodat ed, but is bound to all other parties, precisely as if there was a good consideration. If the maker of a check or draft has changed his residence the bold er must use "due diligence" to find him. Checks or drafts must be pre sented for payment without "un reasonable delay." Ignorance or oversight of or will ful inattention to these fundamen tal injunctions is the frequent source of annoying and expensive litigation. Sam Jones' Revival Methods Uartwll (Qa.) Sun. An amusing incident occnrred t the close of Sam Jones' sermon at Pulaski the other day. Stepping down from the pulpit, folding his hands across hia breast and looking solemnly over the audience, the great revivalist eaid : "I want all the women in this crowd who have not spoken a harsh word or harbored an unkind thought toward their husbands tor a month past to stand up." One old woman, apparent ly on the shady side of 60, stood up "Come forward and give me your hand," said the preacher. The woman did so, whereupon Jones said: "Now, turn around and let this audience see the beet-looking woman in the country. " After taking her seat, the revivalist ad dressed the men: "Now, I want all the men in this crowd who have not spoken harsh word or harbored an unkind thought toward their wives for a month past to stand up." Twenty-seven great big, strapping fellows hopped out of the audience with all the alacrity of cham pagne corks. "Come forward and give me your hands, my dear boys'." Jones gave each one a vigorous shnke, after which he ranged them side by side in front of the pulpit and facing the aud ience. He looked them over carefully and solemnly, and then turning around to the audience, he said : "I want you all to take a good look at the 27 biggest liars in the state of Tennessee." The condition of a place may always be gauged by the appearanceof its news papers. When the local journal has a poverty-stricken look, and live advirtise ments are scarce, it is safe to say that the town is either on the down grade or never got very far up. When a sensible man is thinking of settling in a new place the first thing he does is to get hold of a paper published there. Unless that shows signs of prosperity he looks somewhere else. What a front gate off the hinges is to a house, a poorlv sub- ported local paper is to a town. 8. F. Examiner. Oue feels sorry for the second wife of the widower "II.

There are a few things, toothbrushes and wedding rings, for instance, of which a woman likes to be first and Bole owner. New York Times. Attention In time to any Irregularity of the Stomach, Liver, or Bowel may prevent serious consequences. Indigestion, costlveness, headache, nau sea, bilious. 1 ness, and ver tigo indicate certaiu func tional derange ments, the best remedy for which is Ayer'a Tills. Purely vege table, sugar-coated, easy to take and quick to assimilate, this is the ideal family medicine the most popular, safe, and useful aperient in phar macy. Mrs, M. A. Bkockwell, Harris, tenn., says: "Ayer'a Catbartlo fills cured me or sick hadache and my husband of neuralgia. W think there Is No Better Medicine, and have Induced many to use It "Thirty-live years ago this Spring, I was run down by hard work and a succession of eolds, which made me so feeble that It was an effort tor me to walk. I consulted the doctors, but kept sinking lower until I had glveu up all hope o( ever being better. Happening to be In a store, one day, where medicines were sold, Uie proprietor noticed my weak and sickly appearance, and, atter a tew questions as to my health, recom mended me to try Acer's rills. I had little (tilth In these or any other medicine, but coucluded, at last, to take his advice and try a box. Before I bad used them all, I was very much better, and two boxes cured me. I am now 80 years old ; but I believe that if it had not been for Ayer's rills, I should have been In my grave long ago. I buy e boxes every year, which make Sio boxes up to this time, and I would no more be with out them than without bread." 1L H. Ingraham, Rockland, Me. AYER'S PILLS Prepared by Dr. J.C. Ayer a; Co., Lowitli, Uu Every Dose Effective The amount of money sent to Europe from the United States by those who continue to help friends in "the old home" is enormous. During the three weeks preceding Christmas there were sent from the New York city postoffice alone 131,960 money orders. Theamount they carried to Great Britain was $735,500, to Germany $370,877, to Sweden $145,475, and to Italy $51, 064. These remittances, though specially large at Christmas, are going on all the time. The little town of Vesley, Minn., U Bore afijjeted. Since November ztn, htty-tour deaths from dpthe ria have occurred. The disease is not confined to the village, but has spread all over the surrounding country. There have been fifty deaths in a settlement three miles west of there. Aside from this, there are sixty critical cases, and, worst of all, there is no doctor in the place, nor is there a board of health. No office of any kind should be created by the legislature this ses sion, but a good many should be abolished and the nav of nianv others reduced. Oregonian. An exchange truthfully remarks: "This is a country of the finest natural resources in America, dead for the want of capital and enter prise to develop them." With yesterday's issue the Record turned its toes to the daisies, and in its farewell notice of almost a column it proceeds to upbraid, reproach, censure, condemn and beiuean the citizens and business men of Heppner because of lack of patronage and non-sn pport. There is not room enough in Heppner for two legitimate newspapers, conse quently "the fittest shall survive." The Gazette is no foreign importation, but one of the permanent establishments of the city. It owns property, office, presses, material, etc., and ranks well aiming the tax payers of Morrow county. While the Gazette mav err, as "to err is hnmsn," yet it shall always be its desire to labor for t he best, interests of our sec tion, county and city ; to give the reader a legitimate paper, and the advertiser good returns for the investment, zette. A Legislative Session. provokes more newspapercomment than almost any other subject of public in terest. The last two Oregon law mak ing bodies afforded much material for in teresting discussion, and the next gener al assembly will be no exception to the rule. Whatever occurs the public knows that the Dailv and Weekly Capital Journal of Salem will give correct re ports of its work as well as intelligent discussion of the same. If you want to know what is done, how it is done and why, you should read the Capital Joi'K- nal. It is the first One Cent Daily published on the Pacific coast, and is conducted in the interest of the people. The Daily will be sent you a year for fd.uu, tour months for f 1.00 or one month for 25 cent. The Weekly has been re duced to $1.00 per year. Like the Daily it is payable cash in advance, and no paper will be sent after your time expires. Positively "no-pay-no-paper." The Journal is a modern newspaper run on modern methods. It is conducted in the interest of the people editorially as well as in a business sense. Its editor being a member of the lower house his editorial work will be doubly interest ing this winter.
