Other People's Editorials.
A subscriber has furnished the fol
lowing for this column for one day.
Perhaps some one elfle would like to
try editorial writing for the experi
ment of it. If so pitch in, but make
your articles short, and take the re
sponsibility yourselves:
In 1853 the Turks took Constantnople,
became Mohamedans and have made
that city their headquarters to the
present time.
Missionaries tell us that civilization
without Christ lowers the natives to
depths that heathenism has not reached.
R. L. Burkheart, of near this city,
is well pleased with the kale propos i
tion. He has tried it this year on sev
eral acres. It is fine for milk cows.
It was said to a class and in our pres
ence by a college professor here that
of the two the country students'are the
most intelligent, a surprise to the
writer.
There is a fine writeup and pictur e
in the Christian Herald of Chas. Wes
ley. He was born two hundred years
ago the tenth of this month, the next
to the last of nineteen children. Was
it not a good thing that he was born

Sultana Slnce th Turks took Posession

according to tho writings of Miles Grant,
of California who was in Allbany sev
eral years ago, while here lecturing at
the W. C. T. U. hall.
Some ladies in this city wonder where 1

allowed to tramp over their linens and

Albany's Prospects
Salem Statesman:
Thoro nro exceedingly bright pros
I pects ahead for Albany, the county
seat of Linn county, which was found
ed over a half century ago. Its first
! electric railway began operations yes
terday, which marks the beginning of a
I progressive movement that will look to
; tho bottermont and rapid growth of
the city. The contract has been let
for the modem improvement of the
streets in front of seven of its leading
business blocks, and it is a certainty
that when this is completed more
streets will be given attention in this
respect. Albany is destined to become
one of the leadinir ciues and railroad
centers in Oregon, and the person who
secures business or residence property
there now will have acted wisely.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
bv local applications, as thev cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
ana mat is Dy tne constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is mnamed you have a rumbling sound
oi imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, ueatness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed torevei ; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which isnothing

lots in Albany, 150 acres in the suburbs
of Albanv. 400 acres two miles from the
