Almost Still, a Lucky Ac-
cident Reveals the
Lost Key.
"How long did you say you had it2"
twenty-five years"
What bad cough, with occasional
attacks of hemorrhage, for twenty-five
yearsP Why, nan, it's a mercy that there's
dozen pounds left of you !"
Abraham Orner, of Highspire, Dauphin
county, Pa, stuck to his statement, and
when the exclamations of wonder ceased
he added:
Exactly. You're right. 1t is mercy.
But the greatest mercy of all is that, before
actually coughed myself out of existence,
l got hold OF PARKERs GINGER Tonic,
and few bottles of it cured me-"
"Cured you? Relieved you, you mean q"
81 mean what l say; it cnred me-" said
Mr.. OrneI, simply. l feel like another
man."
Please take especial notice PARKER's
GINGER Tonic is not a mere essence of gin
ger not a mere stomachic The ordinary
preparations Of ginger are beneficial Tor
transient aches, but at that point their val
ue ends. PARKER's GINGER Tonic covers
far wider and totally different field. 1t
attacks and dissipates radical and chronic
diseases of the Lungs, Kidneys, Liver and
Nerves. 1t isas delicious to the pal tie as
it is prompt and elective in operation.
Ginger is only ono among many powerful
curatives which the Tonic holds in comb:-
nation. Test its virtue for that cough of
yours, or for any of tie ills which require
an invigorant for the whole system.
And ab,ve all, do not permit yourself
to be misled PARKER's GINGER TONIC
stands alone. Nothing else is "iust the
same," or "iust as good" Prices 80 cents

A boomerang" Fable.

Here is one of Bill Nye's ordinary
yarns pretty good time" said Perry
Bickford, "but> / don't believe anyone
ever beat the run / made down the
mountain from Granite to Cheyenne,
last winter, with our box cars and nary
a brake on them that would hold a
pound. The train broke in two just be-
fore leaving there, and before I knew it
we had left them way behind. [ sentmy
fireman to set the brakes, and in a few
minutes he came back, white as a sheet,
and said none of 'em would work. BY
this time we were climbing, | can tell
you, and when we passed Otto all you
could see Of the station was an indis-
tinct blur. [ knew we had to pass No. Z
at Colorado Junction, and as / rounded
the curve I saw her on the main track.
all of a sudden an idea struck me-. You
know you hit a billiard ball on the un-
der side. setting it to whirling backward
from tho way it is going, and it will
jump. Well, / just reversed my engine
and pulled her wide open and before we
knew it we'd passed her all ~right-she'd
jumped the whole train, and we lit on
the track on the other side all right.
But how to stop at Cheyenne was the
question, and I had about concluded
that my time had come, for of course the
track wouldn't be clear there in the
yard, when"-Bickford looked around
the DON and found it empty-the boys
had thrown up the sponge.

Anticipation.

A colored man DER whose head about
seventy summers had passed, was quiet
" but earnestly wrestling with a water
melon near the market, when he was
disturbed by the appearance of a small
bow of his color. The boy sat down on
a box AMI looked grudgingly at the mel
on. and the old man looked up at him
and queried:
"Young nan, I reckons I could give
you half dis mellyon an hab plenty OBJ

"Thanks, Uucle.n

TIE RIVE K g.

among other things, two United States
COINS mutllated IN a most peculiar man
ner. One was a $50 gold piece and the
other a silver dollar. Upon n side of
each coin was followed out a place near
ly equal in size to a S. piece. In this
We're fitted a couple of springs which
connected With a sliding piece If the
rim, and which were evidently intend
ed to hold something firmly in the hol-
low space. Many were the conjectures
among the policemen as to what purpose
this neW-fangled device might be put.
The most plausible explanation Of the
mutilated coins at first seemed to be that
they were intended to steal SIS pieces in
a game. This was upset, however, by
one of the boys, who was familiar with
all the tricks of the greeks" Accord
ing to his knowledge these mutilated
coins were in use a great deal by the tin
horn gamblers throughout the west.
They were intended to conceal within
this hollow a small mir or, and thus
while lying undetected upon the table
az IN angle of forty-fve degrees, behind
a stack of similar coin, in front of the
dealer, the latter could, by. a little easily
acquired skill, know by means of the
mirror to a certainty every card held by
any n or all of his opponents. a man
who should chance to play in any game
where this little racket was being work
ed by a successful greek would be alb
solutely giving his money, without even
having the excitement of a possible
chance for winning. This game is not
unknown to professional gamblers, but
probably is to the general public.-Port-
land OregOnidn.

Partnership in Mining.

Too much partnership is the great
bane of mining camps. Perhaps there
is no one thing that retards the develop
ment of mining camps more than the
number of partners that, as a general
thing, are Interested in claims. For the
first year or two all goes well with the
three or four locaters, but soon small
interests are sold; the claim is held by
a number of owners of different ideas
and temperaments onepulling one way
and another not pulling at all one
wants to sell, and another wants to
work some are always punctual with
their assessments and others always be-
hind and continually grumbling. Even
when a majority Of the owners are unit
ed, one pig headed partner can retard
all development OF stop any sale where
by the property would pass into the
hands Of parties Whe would make it
productive. If there were fewer part
ners there would be more work done.
We know of a number of prospects, that
if they were owned by two or three of
the present partners would be producing
mines. But as it is, they are, and al
ways will be, dead dogs, as long as they
are owned by a whole mob.

A Marked Contrast.

An Egyptian visiting America for the
first time this summer vas asked what
he thought of this country. j
1T is a wonderful land,n was the re-
ply.
"You probably notice a marked con-
trast between this and your own coun-
tr,@
'Oh, yes; and one thing particularly
strikes me.n
"What is that, pray?"
why, in this country you dress your
donkeys in tight pants, sharp shoes, flip
coats and white hats, while with us we
throw a fy-net over them and let them
go. America is truly a great nation,

w asn't Quite Satisfied.

Thad. Stevens used to say that cor
tented farmer was a rarer creature than
a white black bird. Illustrative Of the
assertion, he used to tell a story Of a
certain farmer at whose house he once
visited. While strolling over the farm,
Mr.. Stevens observed that the farmers
corn crop, which was just r~ipening, was
remarkable beyond anything he had
ever seen. my FRIEND" said Mr.. Ste

The Barbarism OF Bells.

"Bells are a relic of barbarism," said
John @. SAKE, the poet, to a chance
companion in a small Ohio village,
where he had stopped to deliver a lee
ture. 1t happened that the lecture-room
was one of the churches of the town,
and the ringing of the bell announced
the hour appointed for the entertain
ment. "They were we'll enough" he
continued 'in medieval times, when
people lived far apart and were always
at war, and when loud and sudden
warnings were needed but civilization
does not need them.n Of all those that
ring from hour to hour in this city, it is
a question how many could be spared.
The bells attached to the tower clocks
are the most useful, though they are by
no means indispensable. 1t is only be-
cause people have become accustomed to
them all their lives, and have inherited
the traditional notions of their ancestors
from centuries of use, that the Changer
repeated every sixty minutes or every
quarter of an hour has any value.

AN IMMENSE STOCK.

Peterson & Price, the Merchants
of Little Pittsburg, recently pur-
chased an immense stock of General
Merchandise, consisting of Gro
ceries, Hardware, Dry Goods, Boots
and Shoes, Hats and Caps, and
everything else usually found in a
general store. These goods were
purchased at such a favorable figure
that the firm is prepared to sell
them at as low prices as they can
be secured in any town in Montana.
The people Of Belt creek and sur
rounding country will find it to
their inter est to call ON Peterson &
Price, look through their mammoth
stock and get prices. They mean
business.

REPUBLICAN DIVISIONS.

History fails TO record the existence
Of any political party since the
organization of four government, that
at any time was 50 burdened with
divisions and factionaI fights as the
Republican party now Is In all parts
OF the country. There Is not State
in the Union where that party has
been wont to have d majority OF the
voters, but what ii Is now rent
asunder and quarreling over the
spoils of Office. The fight began In
New York with ConkIing, Platt,
Arthur & Co. arrayed in antagonism
to the half breeds, which fight lost
them the State. They are breaking
the unity OF the spirit of their party
in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Colorado, and, In fact,
every where else where they have
any strength. Surely a double-
minded party; as well as a double
mInded man, Is unstable In its ways.

Harrisburg, Or, Feb. 7, 1888.


Harrisburg, Or, Feb. Z, 1888.
Eds. Democrat:
The high water Of last Thursday
caused several families to move up
stairs and tho water came up within
six or eight inches Of the floors Of
several other dwellings. Some chick
ems remained on tbs roos. all day, too
much water to look well. There was
no school ON that day on account of the
high water and prospect Of more. =
The cold weather of course has been
here and givon many Of our inhabitants
very bad colds and coughs. Grandpa
Kitchen is still lying very low and
doubts Of his recovery are entertained
by those in attendance upon him.
Our City marshall has resiznsd be-
cause the city council saw ft 70 give
the Office Of street commissioner to
some ono else when il has been the
custom for several years past 70 give
j: 10 the marahall 10 help pay him a.
there 10 not enough pay in the efIiee Of
marshall to justify one in spending his
tims in the discharge of the duties of
that Office only. A petition TO the city
council has been circulated and very
generally signed to have the matter
righted or some other arrangement by
which his services may be retained and
remunsrated properly.
The repair in the trcsiIe near the II.
X. bridge, above here, is almost com-
pleted, in substantial manner. The
Daily Oreg0niaH Of yesterday had an
article in il that did not give facts be-
cause no Abutment went out or settled,
but IL was bent or two in the trestle
and instead Of the track going down
several feet IL only went down about
eighteen inches at the greatest sag.
The bridge did not settle, but all the
damage or break was in the trsst,e,
caused by the water undermining the
bents and piles. The cause Of one side
Of the track settling more than the other
was that pile on the side that held up
the bent rested on tho ground while
the others were completely loosened
but held TO place, until the engine
went on, by drift bolts and lateral
brace. The length Of unsupported
stringers was forty feet really, but ap-
parently was only twenty feet before
the train passed over. There was appar-
emily but very little danger before the
train went over, but since It has been
discussed freely, everybody knows and
knew that i. was risk Of life. etc, etc.
The fifteen hundred dollars wing
dam and ditch put in last summer are
all gone and the river is rapidly chang
ing over this way leaving the draw il
