Sweet-hearts and wives, lovers and hus-
bands, don't forget the benefit derived
from the use of Hatch's Febrefuge Mix
ture when you were young and in your
maturer years. The universal testimony
is, ssIt's the best Cough Medicine made. y
It costs but 25 cents to try it, and is for
sale at all the stores.

The dynamite outrage at Pawling,
Duchess county, n. Y, is one of
the most dastardly acts on record.
A gang of rufians whose cattle thefts
and other rascalities made them the
terror of the neighborhood, stole up
to the house where lived a woman
whom they suspected of having ex-
posed some of their crimes and threw
a dynamite cartridge in the room
where she was lying. The explosion
wrecked the room and probably ia
tally injured a laboring man employ
ed in the family, who was on guarG
at the time. The punishment thai
should be dealt out to the wretches
should they be caught and convicted
cannot be too severe.

The St. Adams Messenger says :
1.-THE depositors are expressing con-
siderable indignation over the laws
delay IN regard to the Brainard cas-
es; and it is certainly matter of re-
greet that our system of judicial pro-
ceedings permits of such delay in any
case which like this, touches so large
portion of the country, and de-
mands such summary treatment.
The system is undoubtedly a goot
one; but inasmuch as under the cir
cumstances, closely analogous, Ha
ven has been brought to trial at Rut
land, the delay at st. Adams can no
be wholly attributed to the system.

THF OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

Ohio and Iowa held their annual
elections last week. The contest in
each has been bitter and sharp,
and hinged principally on the liquor
question. Iowa has gone against
the liquor party by large majority.
In Ohio democracy and liquor have
won. We are sincerely sorry for the
result in Ohio. The democratic can
didate is an enemy to the liquor laws
of the state and had the large part
of his party, the saloons, the brew
ers, and the rum republicans for his
allies. Liquor, to great extent,
has become the politics of the cen
trail and western states and, as in
most of them the republicans have
been the champions of the temper
ance cause, they have been the cham
| pions of the temperance cause, they
have found the battle with the old
democratic party and the liquor in
terests hard one. Better defeat in
a good cause, than victory with the
rum elements for allies. The battle
is going on until temperance wins,
as the old battle against slavery went
| on until the slave was liberated.
Iowa has been in advance ground on
temperance, and the whole power OF
the rum party and the Kingdom OF
Satan fought the republicans in this
contest, but there is too much New
England sobriety and morality IL
that grand state to be overcome by
the foreign beer drinkers, or theil
native allies. We do not like a re-
publican defeat in Ohio, but are
much more disturbed, in the defea
of the friends of temperance. There
is a little comfort in the fact that thu
temperance party has made larg'
gains over the last election. 1t SHOULD
be said that in some sections of Ohi'
that the democrats have voted for th
prohibition amendment, while tn
grape growers, about Cleveland
many of them republicans, have vot
ed against the amendment, and
probably, for the democratic nom
inees.

Drop or city letters, 2 cents where
there is a free carriers delivery. At
other offices, cent.
Registration fee, 10 cents.
Printed matter, including books,
transient newspapers and periodicals,
circular, proof sheets and MSS, ac-
companying the same, photographs,
and, in general, ''the reproduction
by any mechanical process Except
ing handwriting and the copying
press) of words, figures, ETC., not II
the nature of personal correspond
ence, one cent for each two ounces
or fraction thereof. Circulars repro.
duced by photograph or similar pro-
cess by electric pen and by type
writer are rated as printed matter.
Merchandise put up so not to in
jure the mails, and in way that i
can be readily examined, one cen
for each ounce or fraction thereof.
On all matter not above specified
same rate as letters.
Limit of weight, except in case o
a single book, four pounds.
There has been no change in th
rate of foreign postage, the rate 70

The Boston Herald says: eff Sen
ator Edmunds should be rendered
and accept the republican nomination
for President-which he says he does
not want-he would not receive seven
less votes in the entire country for
anything which he said OF did in con-
nection with the electoral dispute in
1876. That issue is as dead as the
Missouri compromise or Shay's re-
bellion The Chicago Tribune NOM
mates Edmunds and Miller of Cali
fornia for the republican ticket in
1884. This is early, but the indica-
tons are that Edmunds, though not q
candidate for the place, will be the
man the party must turn to. We
should be glad to see one so unex-
ceptionable as a candidate in the
field. Edmunds can carry New York

The postmaster general is expect
ed to recommend in his annual report
that the unit of weight in letter pos
tage be made one ounce instead of
half an ounce. Gen. Hazen, the
third assistant, says that cases often
occur when double postage is charged
on a letter which turns the half ounce
on the scale of one office and does
not quite balance in another. Some
times letter which weighs half an
ounce when mailed will absorb SO
much moisture en- route, as to re-
quile the exaction of a. double rate at
its destination. The great bulk of
letters weigh less than half an ounce
and it is believed that the increase
of the limit will not materially effect
the revenues, while it will save q
great deal of labor and annoyance.

A Free Ride.

Justafter the train came into the city
from the South Tuesday noon, tramp
was discovered under one of tao pas
ssnger cars, where he had been taking .
free ride. He was ordered out BY one
OF the brakesmen. He crawled from
his perilous seat with ''don't care air
and presented to the crowd that had
gathered around, alarge, able bodied
man in his shirt sleeves, with a lazy,
desperate look on his face. He stepped
on the lower step of the platform as the
train started, and swung himsel,
aader the car on bis uneasy and dan.
gsrous seat, although the train was
going at good rate of speed. A brakes.
man however observed him, had the
cars stopped, when he was dragged
feom his hiding place, his vest beng
nearly torn In pieces by the act. Then
the train left, and be followed down
the track on foot, to the amusement oi
tlose who saw it. How far he had
travelled it was not known, but from
appearances it was evidently some dis
tance.

| We are not 10 blame for having been
born linguistic. We do like TO know what
is going on, and particularly when We see
a store elegantly and tasiily arranged and
full Of rich looking and varied stock oi
goods, Il ls In US to examine matters and
see what there really is In the store. That
IL the reason why We squeezed our way
through crowd Of customers at Allen Il
Martins large store the first Ct the week,
and went 10 pryiDg into everything we
came across, II paid us too. They have
just received from the East, san Francisco
and other places, one OF the best stock Of
goods ever brought TO Albany, and We did
not fail 10 SEQ them. Their line OF dress
goods is not often equaled and attracts
general attention, while their new stock Of
velvets IL as good ss IN 10 be found In the
valley, and ~ velyets are all the rago our
lady friends should call at this store and

or cloak, nothing makes a woman more
attractive, and they have the very latest
and best designs, cheap in the bargain.
II Will pay you 10 examine them. All
these things are neatly arranged on the
left ~ you enter. The right, and rightly
so, II devoted more 70 men. A good line
OF clothing and furnishing goods Is notie-
ed, and hats, caps, etc., demand attention.

pose carrying one OF the largest and best
stocks In the Valley, selected particularly
for the trade here. If you would exam.

Perhaps you want . new carpet, and

then by all means call on this firm, for

A RaEAiaer.

Every once In awhile we run across
some ignorameus who wishes TO make
himself notorious by running down Ore
gon in soms Eastern paper. The latest Is
one John Hepburn, at Silver Creek
Pals, who says in a Chicago paper that
Oregon is all on paper, that everybody
who comes here is disappointed, that the
wheat crop is a failure, il yielding only
about five grains to the head. No more
infamous falsehoods We're ever told, as
our readers can see at glance. A najori-
ty ofthe people who come to this state,
particularly the Willamette Valley, could
not be hired to leave, the state is nst half
on paper, and has advertised itself less
than any other new state, the wheat crop
is success, the ground was not baked at
all, and the fact that twenty to fifty bush.
els Of wheat per acre has been raised,
shows what an infamous liar this man is.
Some one should put a cent stamp on him
and send him back to Kansas as third
class male matter.
The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1883-09-21

Another kind OF man Is heard from
who deserves notice. An Oregon City
paper says: A Woodworking granger,
whose abode is in "Horse Heaven" says
that he Is too far from market to haul his
grain, but he feeds 1t all to his cattle and
pigs, and that It pays well to do so. He
saws that even II he lived near town there
is great doubt whether he would pursue q
different policy, as he now obtains large
quantity of manure, which he never fails
to haul on his land when the rush OF work
is over. His experience shows that farm
ing may be a6vantageously conducted
near the foot. hills. A wagon load OF ba'
con represents several logs and deal ol
"siller," and can be profitably hauled a
long distance. Fat cattle can be taken
to market on the hoof, or very probably
the butcher will come after them and b'
glad OF chance to buy.

very large. Having desire for tho far
west and the cheering reports from Oregon,
finally led him with bis wife In 1852 TO brave
the dangers Of an overland trip TO found a
new home In this tpr away Territory. He
and his family arrived safely aud founded
