Perry Davis Pain Killer.


We have often spoken Of this great medicine in
terms of very high praise, and we have often felt
that all We could say in its favor would not do it
fall justice. Ii is one Of those medicines of which
we can s~peak-and speak decisively-from expc-
rieuce for we have repeatedly taken il, and inva-
rlably with the best results and the greatest salts
faction. We always keep ii on hand, ready for an
emergency, and We regard il not only as one ofthe
very best aad most reliable Of medicines in use for
various ills, but as ono Of Tho cheapest also. Its
cost, by the way,-that Is, the cost of all the in-
gradients of which it is comPosed,-has been con-
siderably advanced. Il is not likely nat the pop
ulari;y Of Davis Pain Killer viii in any measure
decrease. or that the demand for il viii in the
slightest degree decline, until some other specific
for allaying the pain and curing the various com
plants for which it is so generally used. shall be
discovered, Of equal potency with it-of which
there seems to be little probability. AS q remedy
f"r stomach complaints, such as dysenteEy. diaF-
rhaa, etc., the Pain Killer is without doubt, IN
surpassed and everywhere most dcservedly
in demand. One. two, or three doses. Of
a teaspoon each, in a wine-glass Of milk and water
with 4 little sugar. have repeatedly, within our
knowledge, efeetually cured serious trouble ofthis
kind. judgment should undoubtedly be used in
not checking certain stages Of diaErhea too sud
denly but taxi at the proper time, the Pain
Killer will act like a charm, and frequently cure
when nothing else will.-LPrOyidenee Advertiser.

Tue RioT.-Among the cases of interest
that have been tried at this term of the Cir,
cult Court before his Honor, Judge Boise, is
that of McIlwain VS.. Hyde. The plaintiff
charged that Perry Hyde, and others, not
long ago, waited on him in a body, took him
out of bed in his night clothes, dragged him
out into the street, and that then the defend.
ant gave him a severe whipping with a cou'
pie of raw-hides tied together. Mr.. Sulli,
van, prosecuting attorney, held thatthis was
a riot, and asked q verdict of the jury tc
this effect.
We did not hear the testimony but We
did snatch time sufficient to hear the plead,
ings. The counsel for the defense boldly
admitted the whipping but they held that
it was not only justihable, but imperatively
demanded under the circumstances. Their
only regret was that Mr.. Hyde did not in
Aict a severer punishment. From the testi-
mony ELECTED it seems that MeIlwain inyei-
gled two little daughters of the defendant in
TO his shop, under the promise of giving
them candy; and then took liberties with
their persons too indecent for us to publish.
The little girls are aged respectively five and
six years old and none but a worse than
brute could have been guilty of such base
conduct. Such was the provocation, and
Messrs. Helm and Hayden, in their plead
ings, as we have already said, claimed that
their client was justified in what he had
done, by the laws, not only human but Di-
vine. Their speeches were not only argu-
mentatiye, but exceedingly scathing, wither-
ing and impassiOned.
The prosecuting attorney, in his closing
speech. also acquitted himself very credita-
by. lie took up the vulnerable points of the
opposing counsel and handled them with
much skill and ability and at one time he
became so much ex cited and absorbed in his
theme that b. actually knocked out q small
piece of a glass sumbler, sitting on the table.
With the knuckles of his right hand. BE
coolly remarked that he could believe almost
anything, but he would never have believed
that he could perform such a feat if be had
not seen it.
After the Court had instructed the jury,
they retired, and subsequently brought in a
verdict of guilty; and the defendant was
fined $50 and costs. Under the instructions,
which were according to law,-so we thought
the jury could not well do otherwise than
bring in a verdict of guilty. But the defend
ant carries with him the ~sympathies of the
entire community.

STABBISG AFFRAY. On the 23rd inst. an
alteration occurred between Robert Warren
and Cord Cooper, both of this county, rela-
tive to some business matter, which finally
resulted in a reneontre, in which Mr. War
rem was very severely and dangerously stab
bed by Cooper. ~ one time it was suppos-
ed that Mr. Warren would not lire in con-
sequence of the injuries he received at the
bands of his antagonist but we are happy
70 say that he is alive at present, and proba-
ply viii recover.
Cooper Immediately fed, bqt owing to the
prompt measures taken By our energetic
sheriff, he was captured on the 9th inst, at
Oregon City By the Glackamas county sher-
III, and is now in the hands Of the officers.
Besides telegraphing to several of the most
important points, sheriff Smith offered a re-
ward of $500, but only to any one who
would pursue and capture Cooper.
In this connection we cannot refrain from
adding a word on the great necessity that
exists for a jailin Linn county. II, for ex-
ample, Cooper be not tried at this term Of the
Circuit Court, the Sheriff must keep him till
September, a. best he can either BY chain
ing him down in an inhuman manner, or
by placing a guard of one or two men over
him, which is avery expensive way of secur-
ing the prisoner. It seems to US that our
county ought, by all means: to take immedi-
ate measures for the erection of a good and
substantial jail. Although our taxes are al
ready sufficiently heavy, yet we believe that
our people viii cheerfully submit to an addi-
tiOnal one for such a purpose. 1t is for
their interest that they should because thsy
will, if they do lot, soon spend enough in
rewards, and guarding prisoners, wherewith
to build a good Jail, and yet have no Jail Ell
ther.
Mr.. Cooper, father of Cord Cooper, is an
old resident of Linn county, and is univer-
sally regarded as IN upright and very wor-
thy citizen.

By her management of small sums,

II is not in economy alone that the

The CRY Of Reaction.

There is method in the misrepre-
sentations of the Democratic press as
well in regard to the result OF recent
elections as in reference TO the prospect
in States which are to be heard from
this Fall. Measurements concerning
one are used to strengthen pretenceS
concerning the other. Both are cited as
evidence of "reaCtion" which is to
drive the Union Party from power and
restore the Democracy, unrepentant
and unreformed, to its ancient control.
The trick, though stale, may not be
without a certain political effect. If
the verdict of one State be subjected to
construction only partially true, or
directly at variance with truth, it Is
quite likely. to contribute in some de-
gree 10 a sim ilarSerdictin other States
And hence the zeal and persistency
with which the effort Is made to convey
the impression that reaction In favor OF
Democracy is already an accomplished
fact.
The dishonesty which perverted the
personal accidents ofthe California con-
test into thorough State revolution.
and which, in counting the votes OF
Maine, ignored altogether the local is-
sue which ocCasioned Republican dis
sension, now takes the form OF proph
ecy. Pennsylvania,l Ohio, New York
all gre 10 be the theatres of Repub-
lican defeat. Analyze the assertions
that are put forward on this subject,
and what do they amount to? Mo-
where in the States named has there
been a sign ofdefection from the Union
ranks. Not a particle of proof has
been produced as indicative of a
change in local sentiment. II is not
even hinted that the people are becom-
ing indi different to the specific work OF
the Republican party. or have abated
one iota OF their distrust of the princi-
pies and purposes of the Democratic
organization. The campaign as con-
Quoted in Ohio and Pennsylvania has
not revealed a single incident which
can be Justly claimed as token OF Re-
publican loss tou5 OF Democratic gain.
Jud ged in its relation to these and sim
liar data, all the talk about reaction Is
arranL nonsense. Its authors shout
loud enough TO. be everywhsre heard,
but they shrewdly eschew every tangl-
BILE test of accuracy. Look at the mat
ter closely, and the shadow on which II
Is founded is the protest against cor
rupt combinations in California and
against prohibition as party question
in Maine. Beyond this there Is moth
