He is a popular favor ite with the people, who see In him a powerful advocate of their rights, and in the present instance, the people have no Intention of permitting their choice to be disregarded. In order to be in a position to insist upon their choice, the people in every quarter of the country should unite in an independent move ment, demanding that President Roose velt shall be renominated and re-elected for the term of the presidency next to occur.

When renewing your subscription to the Glacier it might be well to remem ber that we give clubbing rates to some excellent Eastern papers. The Inter Ocean, that sterling republican paper and all-round new spaper.cau be secured for 40 cents through clubbing with the Glacier. The Inter Ocean baa a page ol up-to-date farm bikI horticultural news. The Twice a-Week Republic, a demo cratic paper, can be IiikI for 50 cents milled to tlie price of t lie Glacier. The Republic is a great newspaper, and like the Inter Ocean, its news columns are reliable and impartial, w ithout regard to politics. One issue of the week of the Republic gives a supplement devoted to furm and horticultural news that is well worth the price of the paper. The Toledo Blade, a thoroughly repub lican paper, but a weekly made up for t lie family more than for the politician, can be had through the Glacier for f.0 cents a year. But for a home agricultural journal a journal made up expressly for the far mer ami fruit grower of Oregon and Washington r- the Rural Northwest stands at t-e head and should have the largest circulation of anv farm paper on the Pacific const. II. M. Williamson, the editor nml proprietor, is a conscien tious student of the work of the farm and orchard. He has made it a life study, and no more reliable farm jour nal than the Rural Northwest is pub lished anywhere. The paper is pub lished twice a month, and in clubbing rates can be furnished bv the Glacier at 23 cents a year. Rector of St. Luke's. Ashbnrnhani, Ont., April IS, 1903. I think it is only right that I should tell von what wonderful effect Chamber lain's Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Faster I was so dis tressed with a old and cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the nejtday, as my voice was almost choked by the cough. The same day I received an order from you for a sample bottle of your cough remedy. I at once procured a sample bottle.snd took about three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough and cold disap peared and I was able to preach three times on Easter day. I know that this rapid and effective core wis due to your cough remedy.

A 10 mill (ax for school purposes in the Hood River district whs voted at the special meeting Saturday afternoon. The usual lack of Interest in public school mutters was manifested by the small number of voters that turned out for the meeting. Those present were W.J. Baker, chairman of the board, Directors Dumble and Blowers, Clerk Barnes, Mayor1 Coon, City Recorder Nickelsen and the Glacier reporter. The published hour of meeting was 1 :30 o'clock, but it was 'I o'clock before Chairman Baker rapped for order. Clerk Barnes explained the financial needs of the district. A motion by Captain Blowers for a 10-mlll tax was seconded by Mayor Coon and carried without a dissenting vote. Seven mills are for teachers' sularies and other ex penses, and S mills to pay interest bn bonds and other indebtedness. The following statement of the school district's finances was furnished the Glacier by Clerk F. B. Barnes: KXPENSES. (Estimated for remainder of year.)

Witter Company at Stevenson. Stevenson Pioneer. A meeting of citizens was held Satur day afternoon at Totten's hall, at which the preliminary steps were taken for the organization ol the Stevenson Water and Improvement Co.The movement for city water received a great impetus by the arrival of A. II. Sheldon, representing the Puget Sound Pipe com imn v. He gave an estimate of the cost of 4,000 feet of 6-inch and 1,000 feet of 4-inch pipe to be in the neighborhood of $1,000. Other expenses were estimated to be over $1,000 more, and so the company was capitalized at $2,500 in shares of $10 each. Mr. Sheldon assured us that we were providing for a magnificent service, worthy a town of 2,000 population. The new company has behind it the undivided support of every citizen, and it is thought there will be no trouble in disposing of the stock. ANCIENT DISEASE? Smallpox Firat Deacrlbe hj Arab la Sixth Centarr. The literary as well as the pathologic history of smallpox presents many 4tems of very special interest All read ers of the clouded annals of the "Mid dle Ages" are acquainted with the fact that Arabian writers were for many centuries the recognized apostles of phi losophy and physical science including the sundry departments of medicine and surgery to the various nations of western Europe. And it is to one of these, Abu Bckker Mohammed ben Zechariah (A D. 850-032), the earliest and most original of all the great Mos lem physicians, that medical science and medical literature are indebted for the first recognition of smallpox as distinct disease and Its first description In written language. This venerable au thority Is generally known to posterity as Rhazes, name which he derived from Rat, the place of his birth. Ills original description of this formidable disease has been made familiar to Eng lish inquirers through the medium of Dr. GreenhlU's translation. In addition to his observations on disease proper the powers of observation of Rhazes in Physiognomy are demonstrated by such PRATHER Investment Company.

The antiquity of smallpox is, as might well be expected, lost in the midst of ages, but the definite state ment has been made by Arab historians that it first appeared in the Abyssinian army of Abraha at the siege of Mecca In the course of thu so called "Elephant war" of A. D. 809 (or 671). The legend Is given as follows by one of their best historians, Tabarl: "Thereupon came the birds of the sea hi flocks, every one with three stones, in the claws two, and In the beak one; and they threw the stones upon them. Wherever one of these stones struck there nose an evil wound, and pustules nil over. At that time the Bmallpoz first appeared and the bitter trees. The stones undid them wholly. Thereafter God sent a torrent which carried them away and swept them Into the sea." Even one of th elephants, having ventured within the sacred inclosures, Was struck by a stone and fell a victim to the smallpox. Among the bitter plants Which also ap peared at that date for the first time, the rue and colcynth are especially mentioned. American Medicine. POULTRY POINTERS. Sulphur for the nests, whitewash for the house and kerosene for the roosts. Common road dust with a little sul phur mixed in It makes a good dust bath. On the farm a pound of poultry meat can be grown at less cost than a pound of beef. Pullets hatched In summer will not lay until spring, and it Is rarely best to keep them. An egg from a good layer will be more likely to produce a good layer than an egg from a poor layer. Sorghum seed makes a good feed for poultry. WThen the cane is harvested for molasses the seed should all be saved. The larger and more scarlet in color the comb is the nearer the pullet has approached the period that she is about to lay. . For good winter layers save the pul lets that were batched early, not later than April, and the yearling bens that molt early. ' Kuw How to Describe It.

"Tell her that it was a typographical error. That will appease ber wrath, and all who heard her efforts will commend the paper for Its truthful ness." And so It was printed "nerve." Kw Tork Tress. Logan and the Liar. A man who knew John A. Logan In southern Illinois before the civil war said that on a certain occasion young Logan found It necessary to doubt the veracity of a man considerably older than himself and told him so without any circumlocution. "Don't you call me a liar, sir," said the man excitedly. "I have a reputa tion to maintain, and I mean to main tain it if I have to do it at the point of a pistol." "Oh," said Logan calmly, "that won't be necessary. You maintain your repu tation all right every time you tell s lie." Ea.y and Effective. "Before I consent to let you have my daughter," said the square Jnwed cap tain of industry, "I want you to an swer a question. What would you do If I were to give you $1,000,000?"
