C. S. VanAuker, ex-cashler of the
Rainier Bank, accused of being a de
faulter, who is now in jail, is said to
have led a dual existence, While at
home he was affiliated with the church
element, opposed to saloons and gamb
ling, yet he is .known to have lost
heavily at faro, In Astoria and other
points, where gambling Is permitted.
Such cases as this should be a lasting
lesson to young men. You may fool
part of the people all of the time, all
of the people part of the time, but you
can't fool all the people all the time.
ESTIMATED
The Dalles has a school attendance
of 653, which if multiplied by 1000
will give an "estimated" city popula
tion large enough to make Salem and
Astoria think they have symptoms of
municipal appendicitis. Oregonian.
Portland has a school attendance of
15453, which by the same rule would
cause Liverpool, London and New
York to have a few symptoms.
We have accepted the agency for
the Columbia Phonograph Co. and
have a stock' of Disc and cylinder re
cords on hand. Parties, desiring Co
lumbia Phonographs, any style, can se
cure them from us at the same price
they would have to pay In Portland.
We pay the freight.

stipation, often ends In Appendicitis.
To avoid all serious trouble with the
Stomach, Liver and Bowels, take Dr.

SQHOOL NEWS
This is the last week of the first
month o' ichool. Examinations are
the chief topics now.
Marshall McAlister Is out of school
for a few days, making a trip to Idaho.
Several pupils in school have re
ceived nice long letters from their
"Uncle Will" but he evidently missed
Lexington on his journeys, for if he
had come here he certainly would
have chosen this place instead of the
place he decided to locate at, and
Bessie would be attending school here.
Monte Hunter has been absent from
school a few days. He is visiting his
brother in Portland.
We have heard cf some comment in
regard to the teachers review class
and we would be glad to hear from
those Interested for if enough wish t)
undertake that work we would like to
know it at once.
The Directors have been very
thoughtful of the Primary students, so
rearranged the desks so the feet of the
students might rest on the floor, where
heretofore they dangled in the air.
The slates are all nicely ruled, so
the vertical writing may be carried on
to a greater advantage.
The little ones appreciate the long
table furnished by the school board.
Here they may use the gun-wads and
imagine they are dealing with their
fellow men and thereby gain a know
ledge of the multiplication table and
forty five combinations, without the
learner knowing the aim of the in-instructor.
TO BRIBES.
b:.: of the Coal Dealers' association
;)f Gcnr.uiiv a number of delegates
-poke on the practice of tipping and
bribing. They complained that sto
kers and others having to do with
coal used in manufacturing works
and large establishments of any
kind must be given bribe money or
have their influence used against the
coal dealers to prevent the securing
of new orders. The delegates urged
the necessity of taking measures to
abolish the nefarious practice.
Americans traveling in Europe find
the tipping abuse very annoying.
The tipping evil has undoubtedly
led to the bribery method which
now has become so vexatious to
business people. Brooklyn Eagle.
Homemad Tops.
Take big, empty cotton spools and
paint them in bright colors; then
pound into them Btumps of lead
pencils of round sticks, leaving
about half an inch at the bottom.
(Sharpen this into a point, and you
have a fine top. If you wish, you
can put short, fluffy skirts on the
spool and make a tiny hat or bonnet
for the. part of the pencil that sticks
out above, and you will have a ballet
dancing top.
Hospital Cars on Prussian Railways.
The Prussian ministry for rail
ways has placed at every important
railway center throughout the king
dom a magnificently built and ap
pointed car for the transport of sick
persons. These cars have been spe
cially fitted up from plan3 supplied
by sanitary authorities. Spring beds
and every medical device for the al
leviation of suffering during transit
have been utilized. There are ice
safes, gas stoves for cooking, rooms
for attendants and ingenious devices
for muffling the sound caused by the
motion of the train. It is not in
tended to make these carriages pay.
They have been instituted chiefly on
the ground of humanity.
ruin from a ISurn I'romptly Itnllnvod
by Cliniubei'liihrg J'liin llulm
A little child of Miceael Strauss, of
Vernon, Conn., was recently In great
pain from a burn on the hand, and as
cold applications only increased the in
flammation, Mr. Strauss came to Mr.
James N. Nichols, a local merchant,
for something to stop the pain Mr.
Nichols says: "I advised him to use
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and the
first application drew out the Inflam
mation and gave Immediate relief. I
have used this liniment myself and re
commended It very often for cuts,
burns, strains and lame back, and have
never known It to disappoint." For

RESCUE OF A MERCHANT
A prominent merchant of Shono, N.
Y., J. A Johnson, says: "Several
years ago I contracted a cough which
grew worse and worse, until 1 was
hardle able to move around. I coughed
constantly and nothing relieved my
terrible suffering until I had tried Dr.
King's New Discovery. Before I had
taken half a bottle, and in a short time
I was entirely cured. I surely believe
it saved my life. It will always be my
family remedy for colds." Fully guar
