WEAKNESS 1 ' r ' COPYRIGHTED xwieiioicx The weak and the sick owe it to themselves not to experiment with inexperienced purveyors of electricai appliances. The Electric Current ' U THEN properly applied is the great natural specific treatment for nervous disorders. It is YY true in theory, It is true In practice. When we recognize and acknowledge the liviag fact that electricity Is nerve force and strength and energy and vigor, it Is easy to under stand why it must build up the system which is debilitated and weakened. It ail depends on HOW you apply the current. I have made a life-long study of this subject, and present in my great Body Electric Battery yon feel How two or three I treat mriils f.ill. indiscretions for self-home treatment the Dr. Sanden Electric Belt, a perfect application of this great natural strengthener.

My belt has been brought down to date, with imorovements as late as August 1$ last, while the new scientific suspensory applies the current directly over the spermatic cord and prostate gland. Over 6,000 people will give willing testimony to the merits of this appliance during 1K00. 1 here is but ONE Sanden Kelt, and that can be had at my office only.

'Ihr knaves of Crook county are not the only t minus subterranean caverns of r.istrm Oregon, li.irnry couutv contains an interesting civealsn. l-'itty-live miles, a lit tit- south of east from Hums, Is M.il-1 hetit cur, whkh has been isitrd by' many people and has been interesting to 1 all. Its pn.11li.1r form, as perfect as if laid out bv an ruuinrcr and chiseled through thr rowk bv .1 sculptor, makes it the wondrr nl all who ser it. In visiting tills Live one comes to its' mouth tight out in the "desert. ' One might pass w ithin .1 few yards of It and not see It. Entering a dark, ugly hole and walking down a gradual incline (or 40 or so feet, onr rraihr .1 level lloor of rock, .smooth .is glass, liaising the torch , . 1 c.i vn 11 about 60 (eet wide, with walls coming to ,i .itch overlie id, about 20 feet at tlit Inchest point, is seen. I his cav ern can be followed for joo yards without a cmr or turn. Ihr floor continues! smooth and the perfectly loriued walls irt.iln the s.iiue dimensions. Only at one point Is there .1 small pile of shattered rock lallen from the roof. 1 At the end of the 300 yards Is a clear tihr of water. Here a small rowbo.it is found anchored, and, taking passagr on this, our may continue the journey in the sainr dlrrctlou Into thr Interior. Ihr watrr is slnllow at nr-t. until it brcomrs practically Iiiimr.isiu.iblr thr entire width ot thr car. And the water Is so clear tint its surl.ur is almost indistingiiisli ablr. Onr will walk Into it without seeing it, and thr torchrs rrllrd thr brd of thr car at a grrat depth, the smallest object Mug on the bootom looking as natural as It close at hand. The water never rises or fills, or changes its charac teralways the same temperature and clear as a crystal. It has the temperature of artesian water. At a distance of 300 yards on the lake the end of the cave is reached, and the wall at the end comes down like the arched walls, and is lost In the depths of the water. Here the water seems to be at its greatest depth. I here are in.iiiy theories about the lake, but alter all It proves to be one of the natural wonders of this great' country that await the exploration of science. .Malheur river rises In the mountains above and Hows along at the end of the cave. The cave Is fioo yards long 300 yards ot dry bottom and 300 yards of water. Measurements have been made from the mouth of the cave in a straight line over thr tavern, and It is found that the rr.d of thr cavr comes near the bed of the river. Hut here the bed of the river, according to measurement, is much lower 1 than the estimated surface of the lake, and, besides, the river gets very low in summer and the How of water in the j river is never greater below the point of the cave lake than above. The lake may be the outlet, or a part of some other 1 underground body of water, but it is clear I that it lias no connection witli Malheur liver. Sprwial correspondence from ' Hums. , Game in Malheur County. 1 Attorney Shelton and E. M. Thornton 1 returned some days since from Malheur county, w lieie they hunted for a couple of weeks. Ihcy report all kinds of game in that country, and declare tint they had good luck killing birds and beasts, but couldn't give the proof required when the skeptic remarked: "If you are a trapper, w here are your firs?" Mr. Shelton says that Sam Stott Is rapidly recovering from the Injuries sustained at the Salem en campment, a broken leg, and will be home in a week or ten days. I Progreu on the Big Hotel. Dayld Wilson went to Ontario Mon day, expecting to return here tomorrow. He has met with some unexpected diffi culties' lit his) efforts to raise the neces sary money with which to build the big brick hotel, several men who signified their intentions to subscribe for stock having later declined to do so. Of the amount necessary to be raised $2,200 have not yet been subscribed. Mr. Wil son hopes that the deal can be closed up by Saturday. If not, the enterprise will be abandoned for the present, as it Is feared that If building operations are de layed much longer, bad weather will stop the work of the brick masons. If the papers are all signed Saturday, work will be commenced Monday morning. Scenic Line of the World. For an enjoyable trip east, take the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, Scenic Line of the world.
