DILLAN’S IMPRESSIONS OF
Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Ont.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set­
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi­
tion of the kid­
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid­
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad­
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra­
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won­
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

Own Publication,
The Western Teacher.
During November the editor of this
journal was engaged in institutes and re­
lated work in Oregon, a state which is
moving forward at a most encouraging
pace in educational as well as material
progress.
The state is composed of
three distinct parts.
First, there is
Portland and the Willamette valley, the
older settled portion, a region with a
cosmopolitan population similar to that
of the upper Mississippi valley and drawn
largely from it. A variety of crops and
diversified industries are found here;
there are but two seasons, the wet and
the dry.
Iu November, green grass,
roses blooming in great profusion every­
where, a warm, gentle rain falling al­
most constantly, and this in the lat­
itude of St. Paul, was an object lesson in
physical geography not easily forgotten.
The southeastern portion of the state is
wild and rugged, of value chiefly for
grazing; it was settled largely by emigra­
tion from Missouri. A saying is current
there that the left wing of Gen. Price's
army did not surrender, but moved on
into Oregon. Traveling in that part of
the state is chiefly by long and arduous
stage routes. The Columbia basin east
of the Cascades, the newer settled part
of Oregon and Washington, a wonder­
fully rich wheat growing region, pre­
sents all the phases of growth, activity
and enterprise which ont sees wherever
small cities spring up in a rich agri­
cultural country.
In the matter of high schools, Oregon
is today where Illinois and Wisconsin
were forty years ago ; there are very few
high schools; every town of any consid­
erable size has a little college or acad­
emy. These are private or denomina­
tional schools; in a few of the larger and
more progressive towns these have been
supplanted by the public high school,
but in most places the public high school
is overshadowed and handicapped by the
presence of private institutions.
classes of school people, and on every
hand words of high praise are spoken of
State Supt. J. H. Acl trman. He has
instituted some reforms in regard to cer­
tification of teachers, establishment of
high schools and introduction of a course
of study in the common schools which
are meeting with approval.
His thor­
ough knowledge of common and high
school work and his practical turn of
mind fit him well for leadership in the
transition stage of Oregon’s educational
growth through which the state is now
passing from private toward public see­
ondary schools.
SEW TAX LAW.
Taxpayer» Should Hecorne Famil­
iar with the Proviaioua of
the New Measure.
At the last session of the legislature a
new law was passed in regard to the
collection of taxes, which law took ef­
fect on December 1st, 1901, and its sub­
stance is as follows:
1. If you pay your taxes on or before
March 15th you will be allowed a rebate
of 3 per cent.
2. If you pay your taxes between
March 15th and up to and including the
first Monday in April, there will not be
any rebate,neither will there be any pen­
alty or interest added.
3. If your taxes are not paid on or
before the first Monday in April, they
will become delinquent, when there will
be added a penalty of 10 per cent, and
the tax will also draw interest at the
rate of 12 per cent per annum in addi­
tion to the penalty.
4. If you pay one-half of your taxes
on or before the first Monday in April,
then the remaining half may run up to
and including the first Monday in Oc­
tober following; but if the last half of
tax due is not paid by the first Monday
in October, it becomes delinquent, and
there will be added to such balance a
penalty of to per cent, and in addition,
such balance will bear interest at the
rate of 12 per cent per annum from the
first Monday in April until paid.
5. On all personal property taxes, if
one-half is not paid on or before the
first Monday in April, the law compels
the sheriff to levy upon and collect the
same after May 1st, hence to prevent a
levy upon personal property after May
tst it will be necessary for one-half to be
paid as above stated.
6 The law compels the sheriff to sell
all lands on which taxes have not been
paid, and that such sales shall not be
held later than March ist of the year
succeeding the year in which the tax
levy is made.
7. The property will be sold to the
person bidding the lowest rate of in-
terest, and certificates will be issued
therefor, and deeds given to such prop-
erty sold, unless redeemed within three
years from the date of such sale.
besered the Vital Chord.
G. L. Pugh, an old man of 72 years,
who had been for six weeks a county
charge in care of Arthur Smith in this
city, took his own life last Saturday
forenoon, by cutting the arteries of his
left arm at the elbow with a pocket
knife. He had made two wounds quite
deep into the arm, and had held it over
a vessel until he was two weak to longer
stand up. He had probably lost a quart
of blood, then fell back on the bed and
continued to bleed for some time. The
knife used was found closed upou a
table near the bed. It was a two-bladed
pocket knife, the smaller blade being
quite sharp, and was the one with which
the work was done. Mrs. Smith was at­
tracted by moans from the adjoining
room, and found the man slowly bleed­
ing to death. She asked him what was
the matter, and he replied, “I am on my
last legs.” She was aloue with her two
children and old man Fairchilds, an­
other county charge.
Leaving them,
she hurried to the house of Mr. Noll,
who speedily went for a doctor. Doctor
Goucher reached the house as the man
was dying. He could get no expression
from him. Pugh had removed his coat,
vest and shoes and rolled up his sleeves.
He had been in very feeble health from
stomach trouble during all his residence
here, and was growing worse.
Dr.
Goucher said he was a very despondent
man. He would call on him for medi­
cine, in great distress, and always claim­
ing that he was getting worse and as­
serting his conviction that he had a
tumor.
A cursory examination after
death did not reveal to the doctor any­
thing of this nature.
Justice J. M. Pugh acted for Corouer
Chapman, and his jury found death had
resulted from selt-inflicted wounds.

“Gee whiz! but ain’t it cold?” said the
judge, taking off his overcoat. “The
Shin Warmers will not do much busi­
ness this kind of weather.”
“It's the best time to cogitate, me
bye,” replied the highland doctor.
“How are they getting alottg with the
new board of trade organization?” in-
quired the old speculator with chin
whiskers.
“They haven’t got life enough in this
town to keep up a board of trade organ­
ization,” replied the cynic, with a bright
red tinge of sarcasm in his voice. “You
want to go to a city that is full of life,
where everything is going on day and
night, trade, commerce and transporta­
tion and manufacture, with a buzz and
a whiz. That’s life for you.”
“That isn't life, it’s fermentation,”
responded the shepherd boy, coolly.
“There is fermentation and there is
dry rot,” retorted the cynic.
“A cooperative club would be a good
thing in this town,” «aid the • rnival
minded man.
“What can you cooperate with in this
town?” asked the candidate for sheriff.
“Cooperation is now the life of trade,”
put in the shepherd boy.
“A cooper­
ative club could organize industries and
enterprises and harmonize those that
we have,” he continued, “could discour­
age and prevent cut-throat competition,
or the establishment of line- of business '
or enterprise that are already overcrowd­
ed . Arbitrate disputes and discourage
exorbitant prices and charges; iu short,
be a commercial and industriai liar mon-
izer. It's a big idea.”
“Who would be eligible to member
ship?” asked the judge.
“Both producer and consumer as well
as the middleman could join this kind of
an organization," replied the shepherd
boy.
