OUR AIM is to be the dependable
druggists to whom you can bring your
prescriptions. It is essential that your
prescription should be compounded just
as your doctor wishes it. If he writes
for a certain make of any preparation
that particular drug goes into the pre
scription and we use no other. Ask
your physician. Burkhaet & Lee.

1VIEISER & MEISER
The Democrat knew how the Lebanon-Brownsville
debate had gone this
morning when the train arrived from
Brownsville, without askiug any ques
tions. The faces of the young ladies
told the story. Lebanon won unani
mously. All the judges, who returned
this morning, Messrs. Marlotte and
Tozier, of Salem, and C. K. Sox of this
city thought the Lebanon team made a
little the strongest arguments in the
uest style, though they commended the
work of the Brownsville team, and de
clared there was very little difference,
what there was being in favor of Leba-
" There was a large crowd present and
much enthusiasm.
Some strong arguments were made in
favor of a law providing for state fin
ancial aid for public highways, i n im
portant question for Oregonians to con
sider. Perhaps Lebanon had the better
side of the question, for there is a
strong sentiment in favor of a general
improvement of our highways.
M.inVi nPArlif ia rllio Prnf RillH!!. Rlin-

weapons.
The state is divided into four districts.
