CONSERVATIVES, TAKE NOucE.-Eve-y moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and
much depends on the judicious choice of a remedy
The amount of testimony In favor of DR.. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, q cure for consumption, far
exceeds all that be brought to support the pre-.
tensions of any other medicine. See DIR. schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates of many per
sons of the highest respectability, who have been
estored to health, after being pronounced incura-
BILE by physicians of acknowledge ability. schencks
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment of two other remedies
which DR.. schenck psovides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are chenck's Sea Weed Touic
and Maj drake Pills. By the timely use OF these
medicines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck
certif that most any case of Consumption may
be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal
office. Corner Sixth and Arch SITS, Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters for advice must
be addressed.

Girls that are Girls.

The pretty French maiden who drives a
four horse team at Suffer creek, Califor
MIA, is not considered much of a phenom-
enon by Oregon folks. A Portland editor
receives her story with this comment
That French girl is good girl. That
we would not be SO ungallant as to dis
pute. But where is our Lane county
girl that puts in eighty acres of wheat,
then took the district school and ''wallop.
ed' all the big boys in the precinct into
decency and subsection. En-? And whe n
you are talking about girls with pluck,
just bear in mind that Oregon can pro
duce just about four thousand, now mar
ried, to be sure, and many of them grand
mothers, each of whom whacked an OK
team from the Missouria river to the Will
lamette valley; stood guard against savage
Indians on the plains, scaled three ranges
of mountains, reached the promised land
in triumph to raise a family OF thirteen
.strapping boys and girls, and never laid
eyes upon store made bonnet for fifteen
years. Don't mention your California
girls, please"

Paying OFF.

Uncle Sans employees were receiving
their pay for January work at Rock ISL
and Arsenal to-day. They would have
been paid day or two sooner but for the
late storm which prevented the men going
for their money. Work was, of course,
suspended during the severe storm, wind
and cold.
Some of the men who were denied work
last summer are at work again. 1t is
quite likely that Col. Flagler is finding out
that he was deceived in regard to the men
alluded to and that he has done them in
justice. We do not believe he is the man
to refuse to do them justice when he learns
facts which he seems not to have known
at the time. The friends of these men
know that they have been treated unfairly
and they will not rest until justice shall be
done In the premises.

A Prevalent Disease.

There Is no disease so prevalent in America as
dyspepsia and certainly none which has SO gener
ally baffied and defeated the skill of the medical
profession. The only remedy for this distressing
complaint is pure medicated stimulant. Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters, whose essential principle is
sound rye, is admitted by medical practi ioner- to
be the only Alternative, corrective and restorative on
which they can rely. The Sitters are the best pos
sible specific for latulency dizziness, waterbrash
of the bowels. and all indications of
confirmed dyspepsia. They do not excite, but
sooth the irritaed stomach and bowels, and may
be taken by ersons Of the most deicate and sensi
tive organization, who are unpleasantly affected
by the use + the ordinary stimulants of commerce.
Though their effect Is most decisive, yet they are
so mild and benecient in their operation, as to be
suitable TO children 90 well as TO adults.

Look out for orasshopper svindlsrs.

Look out for arasshopper swindlers.
Mayor Gait suggests that people should
be on their guard against possible swim
dlers who are soliciting aid for the grass
hoppered people. He says their number
is rapidly increasing and that some of them
present papers Of doubtful genuineness.
He alludes especially to the papers Of the
man Adams. who was. noticed yesterday,
and thinks it strange that governor or
other official having seal should omit to
attach it to his papers. They may be gen.
uine and may be forgeries. Any ordinari-
ly smart man can get up such papers as
Adams has, and he thinks it strange that
neither Adams or the governor of Nebras-
ka should have thought seal necessarily
the papers are genuine. He says he gave
Adams "a dollar, saying to him that he
would rather be swindled a dollar than
withhold aid from the suffering. Another
thing which appeared singular about Adams
was that he didn't seem to want anything
but money, taking little interest in offers
of clothes and suggesting no way of for
warding them. @f
The Mayor suggests to people to require
properly attested credentials or pay no at
tention to people who are soliciting aid, a.
it is the duty of those who send out agents
to place that matter beyond doubt,-ant
If persons who claim to be agents canno
do that there is good ground to suspec
that all is not right.

A Few Figures about City Rents.

To the Editors of THE ARGUS. -'-a
The Union comes to the front again in a
leader advocating the purchase of the old
seminary building on Orleans street for
city hail.
There seems to be "a difference of opinion
between Mr.. Mitchell and the Union about
the present condition of the building. Mr..
NJ. in his proposition to the city council, at
ter describing the ground and building and
its adaptation to city purposes, says:
THE building is as we'll adapted to the
purpose as If built expressly for it." The
Union says: $4,000 or 1000 would be
required tor fitting up the Inferior" Now,
if the building is as well adapted to the
purpose as it built expressly for it, where
is the necessity of spending $4,000 or
$4,000 to make it SO? 2. Surprising the
offer of Mr.. Mitchell to be liberal one,
(which do not admit) and that $4,000
would make the necessary repairs, where
does the economy come in that the UaSon
claims for it The Union says place
| the period of its usefulness as city hall
at twenty years and we baye an annual
rental of $500 Well, now let us figure
| that out and see if it is correct Take the
purchase money and repairs and, according
to the Union, you have an investment of
$4,000 on this amount you add ten per
cent. interest las every prudent business
man would do) for twenty years and you
have the snug little sum of $4,000; to
| this add the original investment, which
would swell it to $4,000. divide that by
twenty and you will have an annual rental
of $500. instead Of $500, as claimed by
the Union.
still think the city authorities would
not be acting wisely if they made the pro
posed purchase. even though the property
was cheap-which it is not.

This mornings Union gives thrilling
and pathetic account of a Rock islanders
adventures in Bunko den in Chicago
1t is little thin but nevertheless very az
fecting. ''He grasps pile of currency
and with drawn revolver backs males

the half column Of slush on which the pub
lie are requested to guess. As good little
Dave was standing on Randolph street,
pensively gazing at the ruins of that for

ity, the court house, he was approached by
well-dressed gentleman with blonde
moustache of huge dimensions" ETC., ETC.
Was this Harry Devere formerly editor
and canvasser for the Union and now a
''steerer" for Bunko Den in Chicago2-
Possibly. 1t could not have been the pres
ent canvasser for the Ua,iom, for the last
report of him was that he had gone as far
as Chicago on his New York trip, got
drunk, spent all Of his money and pawned
his little revolver. The Union then sent
good little David to Chicago to find the
fellow and ship him home. So Dave has
been to Chicago. But he is proof against
whisky, and he is about the only one con.
nected with that Office who is-by reason
of his experience with the Moline crusad

Yes, it must have been Dave. How his
eye must have flashed as he drew his little
gun and grasped that pile of greenbacks
What fall for the good little David whom
the crusaders loved so,
