“In my capacity as druggist, in Buffalo, N. Y., I have thebestopportunity
to iudgi
'je of the merits of many different remedies. I am in close touch with the
sick, wl
who come into my store for medicines, and most of them tell me how they
are getting along. Of al! the hun­
dreds of preparations which 1 sell,
not a single one begins to give as
much satisfaction as Acker’s Eng­
lish Remedy for Coughs, Colds,
Bronchitis, Asthma, Pleurisy and
Consumption. I sell it on a dis­
tinct guarantee that it will cure,
or the purchaser's money will be
returned. This is a perfectly safe
guarantee, because the remedy
/Zvi cure. Nobody wants his
money returned. Its cures are
nothing short of marvelous. Take
the case of Mr. A. H. Gilbert, for
instance. He lives at No. 5 Carey
street, Buffalo, N. Y. For more
than three years he had a bad
case of asthma, and had been un­
able to lie down in bed for nearly
two years. He came to my store
and asked me what to do. I said:
* Take Acker’s English Remedy.’
He said he had tried other reme­
dies and didn’t think this would
help him. But he thinks differ­
ently now. Three bottles fixed his asthma all right. He could sleep and eat
after taking them, as well as when a boy. He was cured several months ago,
and is well yet, so I am certain his trouble is gone for good. You can write to
Mr. Gilbert himself, if you doubt my word. He will go further than me in prais­
ing Acker’s English Remedy." (Signed) S. B. T horne , druggist, Buffalo, N.Y.

So far there have been but very few­
registered at this place, and there seems
to be quite a lot of kicking about the
law, as some of our old residenters that
have voted here for the last 15 or 20 years
cannot register, having been born in
foreign countries, and having no copy of
their father’s citizen papers, which is
required by the law.

Death of .VIre. Brumbark.
Harriet Maria Brumback died at the
college in this city at 11 p. m. Sunday,
Jan. 21st, of pneumonia, after a brief ill­
ness. 8he was the mother of Prof. A. M-
Brumback, of the chair of sciences, and
with whom she bad lived in this city the
past three years.
Harriet Maria Graves was born in Sun­
derland, Mass., Dec. lOtb, 1833. From
there she removed to Granville, Ohio,
where she completed her education and
was converted to the Christian faith at
the age of 15 years. At this place she
was a teacher for the period of four years,
and in 1856 was married to Prof. J.
Brumback, and with him went to Frank-
land, Ind., where he taught eight years
in a college, until the opening of the civil
war, when the college closed to permit
the young men to enter the volunteer
service. Mr. and Mrs. Brumback after­
wards moved to Indianapolis, where he
was admitted to the bar and practiced
until 1866, when he removed to Boise,
Idaho, for the benefit of hie wife’s health.
After practicing his profession for five
years, he abandoned it for the good of
bis own health, and invested in mines,
being now engaged as mining superin­
tendent. Another son is living, and re­
sides in northern Idaho.
Funeral services were held in the Bap-
list church, Tuesday, at 1 p. m. The
sermon was by Pastor R. W. King from
the text Luke 22:42: “Father, if thou
be willing, remove this cup from me:
nevertheless not my will but thine be
done.” President Boardman assisted in
the service. The attendance was large
Tiie college held no sessions on Monday
and Tuesday, and the Btudents attended
the fuueral in a body, and accompanied
the funeral procession to the train,
which was taken by the husband and
Prof. Brumback and family, who ac­
companied the body of deceased to Boise
for interment. The pall bearers were,
i. C. Chandler, Profs. Boardman,
Northup, Storey and Converse, and E.
W. Wallace.
J. B. Clark, Peoria, III., says, ‘‘Sur­
geons wanted to operate on me for piles,
but I cured them with DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve.” It is infallible for piles
and skin diseases. Beware of counter­
feits. Rogers Bros.
Gone Into Bankuptcy,
The Reporter learns with regret that
one of Yamhill county’s best citizens has
been forced to the wall through an uu-
fortunate business venture. The Sheri­
dan Sun of last week tells in the follow­
ing language why D. W. Ralston of that
place waB forced to take advantage of the
bankrupt act:
"About eighteen months ago Mr.
Ralston built an expensive fruit dryer at
this place for the purpose of saving the
product of his own orchard and also that
of his neighbors. This waH an unfortu­
nate venture, as through the rascality of
men to whom the fruit was consigned in
the east be lost the entire amount of the
season’s output. Since then he has been
struggling against fate, finding himself
unable to contend with the forces against
him, has turned all bis property into the
harxls of the court and like the honor­
able man that he baa al ways proved him­
self to be, retains no exemptions or any­
thing for himself, but will start anew in
the battle of life and strive for a compe­
tence, though he has passed the noonday
meridian of life,’’

Want .VIy Photograph,’’
This was the desire of a good many
hearts in McMinnville the past week,
after the town had been canvassed by a
half-dozen representatives of the Rex
Portrait Co. of Chicago. It was the old
“enlarged picture and frame” scheme.
The company had contracted with Wal­
lace & Walker to furnish enlarged odo­
graphs to each customer w ho would buy
$20 worth of groceries of them, the pic­
ture to be furnished when the complete
purchase was made, but the contract did
not specify that customers should take
frames also. The town was hurriedly
canvassed in a day or two, on all sorts
of misrepresentations, such as that the
pictures should be made at once, and
could be secured before the entire $20
had been traded out; that they could be
secured on cash or time purchases, and
it wuold be entirely optional whether
the customer took a frame or not. Near­
ly 100 orders were secured, and would
you believe it, that in intelligent Mc­
Minnville, this number of people signed
an agreement containing a clause re­
questing “Please reserve fur me one of
your magnificent frames," when the de­
sire of every one was simply to have the
oilograph? Well, they did it. But
something else occurred the follow ing
day that saved them from these bonds.
The “main guy” of fakirs called at the
grocery in a great hurry to settle up for a
consignment of one hundred frames,
costing $150, just unloaded at the depot,
that be might proceed to the next town.
Mr. Walker was not in so much of a
hurry, as frames had not been nomi­
nated in the bond, and informed the
agent that he would be arrested if he at­
tempted to leave town under the circum­
stances. The misrepresentations made
on the orders taken were beginning to
come to the ears of the grocers. The
manager failed to get a settlement, and
left after a sojourn of a day or two at the
hotel.
Wallace & Walker bold the
frames in their wareroom as indemnity
against a bill of freight paid bv them,
and the signers of orders are voicing the
desire expressed at the head of this arti­
cle.

Registration <>» Voter«.
Up to Wednesday, Jan. 24th, the
county clerk’s books showed the follow­
ing registration by precincts:
Amity 9, Baker Creek 23, Bellevue 11,
Carlton 10, Checowen 12, Dundee 1,
East Dayton 17, West Dayton 8, Fair­
lawn 25, Lafayette 3, North McMinn­
ville 38, South McMinnville 42, North
New berg 9, South Newberg 19, North
Yamhill 6, North Sheridan 4, South
Sheridan 2, Whiteson 5, Willamette 5,
Willamina o, West Chehalem 8, total
257. The last total vote of the county
was 3,323. This leaves about 3,000
voters yet to register in the next 95 days,
or an average of about 30 names a day.
As the limit of time draws to a close the
clerk is likely to need extra help to en­
roll the names. The Reporter can see
only one merit about this law in a county
like Yamhill—it will make people fa­
miliar with the block or section of land
on which they live and thus improve
their geography. The law was clearly
designed to prevent election frauds in
Portland, and its scope should have
been limited to that city, the only place
where they occur. Our North Yamhill
correspondent points out one of the
objectionable features that will rise
to the surface with aggravating force
a little later on, and lots of people
well entitled to vote are likely to be cut
out through failure to register, as well as
inability to meet the requirements of
the law regarding naturalization pa­
pers. The next legislature is likely to
be asked to confine the operations of the
law to Portland, where it belongs.

Miss Hope Sully entered the Sth grade
one day last week.
Four months have passed and we will
soon be half through our school year’s
work.
This is the only month that remain»
that pupils may enter the 1st and 2d
grades.
The 10th grade has taken up
literature and physical geography in
the place of algebra and rhetoric.
The reviews seem to be somewhat
better this month than before. Perhaps
some of the pupils realize that the end ia
not far away, and if they waul to make
their grades they must “dig.”
The roll of honor for the 8th, 9th and
10th grades wili be published next week.
