EX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
FACTS, INCIDENTS AND REMlNls-
CGNCEs OF HIS CAREER.

Ills Boyhood's Ambition Was to he q
Political Leader He Had His Wish
and More, but Found That Life Was
Not Worth Living.
q few times after the spring of 1885 a worn
looking, rather ~colorless man, with whitened
side whiskers, was to be seen walking about
Fifth avenue and Broadway, New York. 1t
was only a very few times, but those who
saw the worn looking man always turned to
look at him the second time. A thought
struck them; could that be ex-President Ar
thur 1t looked like his pictures, as they
had been seen hundreds of times, and yet
SO changed.
1t was ex-Presidsnt Arthur, and just SO had
he changed. In the years from the summer
of 1881 to 1885 he turned from a young man
to an old one. 1t is not too much to say that
the shot which struck Garfield at last killed
Arthur.
The day that shot was fired Arthur was on
his way from Albany TO New York. He had
come down 10y the night BOAT. 1t was in the

while President Cleveland was defeated by
nearly 5000 on the same ticket. This year

was successful. Governor-elect Adams is but
80 years old and was born in Iowa county,
WIS HIS father was a country merchant
and gave his son a common school education.
In 1871 young Adams started out to ohoe his
own row. He settled in Colorado and
worked for wages for awhile. Later he en-
gagged in the hardware business, which has
been his business since. In 1872 he married
and has a boy II years old. In 1876 Mr..
Adams was elected to the first state legisla-
ture, that being the only Office he has held.

man from that day on. He knew too well
what the opposition faction in the Republican
party would say and believe to the end Of
time. 1t wore on his soul. He carried it
with him as a burden byday and it lay beside
him close upon his heart by night. He was
over 6 feet tall, a man of splendid physique,
but he was sensitive as a child. One of his
intimate friends says since his death: Tho

1t did so in fact. From boyhood he had
wished to play a great role in politics. More
than thirty years ago he said to a school

BLOOD AND MONEY.

The blood of man has much to do in shaping
his actions during his pilgrimage through this
troublesome world, regardless of the amount OF
present or expectant money in pocket or stored
away in bank. 1t is a conceded fact that we
appear as our blood makes US, and the purer the
blood, the happier, healthier, prettier and wiser
we are; hence the oft repeated interrogatory,
show is your blood?" With pure streams of
life-giving fluid coursing through our veins,
bounding through our hearts and ploughing
through our physical frames, our morals become
better, our constitution stronger, our intellect
ual facilities more acute and grander, and men,
women and children happier, healthier and
more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparalleled
curative powers, and the uDmistakabe proof
from those of unimpeachable character and in
tegrity, point with an unerring finger to b. B.
B.-Botanic Blood Balm-as far the best, the
cheapest, the quickest and the grandest and
most powerful blood remedy ever before known
to mortal man, in the relief and positive cure of
Scrofula, rheumatism, Skin diseases, all taints
of blood poison, Kidney complaints, old ulcers
and sores, cancers catarrh, etc.
B. B. B. is only about three years Old-a baby
in age, giant in power-but no remedy in
America can make or ever has made such won
derful showing in Its magical powers in curing
and entirely eradicating the above complaints,
and gigantic sales 10 the face of frenzied OPP
position and would.be moneyed monoposts.
Letters from all points where introduced are
pouring In upon US, speaking in its loudest
praise Some say they receive moro benefit from
one bottle of B. B. B. than they have from TWEEN
ty, thirty and fifty and even one hundred bottles
of a boosted decociion Of inert and non-medci
nal roots and branches Of common forest trees.
We hold the proof in black and white, and we
also hold the fort.

a New Collector

We are pleased to be able to chron-
icle the fact that after weeks of de-
lay, President Cleveland has at
length appointed d new collector, and
the vexations and inconvenience to
which so many have been put IL this
district from the fact that there has
been no disbursing officer here, is at
last removed. Old settlers, who
knew Quincy A. Brooks, as private
secretary to Gov. Stevens and customs
inspector under Collector Moses, will
be pleased to welcome him to our
town. OF the new appolntee the
Seattle P-I. says as follows:
The telegraph yesterday afternoon
announced that President Cleveland
had appointed Quincy Adams Brooks
as Collector of Customs for the Dis
trict of Puget Sound, and naturally
enough everybody wants to know who
Quincy Adams Brooks is. This ques
ton is asked by new comers, but not
by the old pioneers, who remember
that when Gov. Stevens came to the
Territory he was accompanied by a
genial little man named Quincy A.
Brooks as his private secretary, MIR,
Brooks was appointed inspector of
customs under Simpson 2. Moses.
while the port of entry was at Olym-
pia, and resided there three years.
He WAS also connected with the
quarter-master department at Port
land, and was a member of the con-
veDtion which decided upon the sep
aration of Washington Territory and
Oregon. He was appointed by Lin
coin, postal Inspector on this northern
coast, which Office he held for many
years during a portion of Grants ad-
ministration. At the late Pioneers
reunion held in this city, in the an-
nual address delivered by FL. q.
Struve, the speaker thus mentioned
Mr.. Brooks; Among the earliest
lawyers in this Territory were Col. J.
B. Chapman, one of the founders of
Steilacoom, and d. r. Bigelow, then
and still an honored citizen of Olym-
pia. s. = 4 A little later Quincy
A. Brooks, for many years afterwards
officiating as postal agent on this
coast. made his appearance. A gen
tleman who kept diary in tho 'e ear
ly days said of Mr.. Brooks that OF
many occasions he helped to while
away the dreadful long nights of this
northern latitude by his admirable
performance upon the violin, of which
instrument he is master, and that il
seemed to him that should Mr.. Brooks
fail TO convince a jury by his oratory
he might by leave of the court prove
irresistible with his fiddle" OF late
years Mr.. Brooks has been resident
of Linkville. Lake county, Oregon
where he mas some considerable
landed interests. He went back tt
his first love, the democratic party
during Growers second campaign il
Oregon. and has stuck to it eve
since.

As we predicted yesterday, the earth
quake came last night, just as the demo-
cratic primary WAS organizing. Judge
A. l.. Teele was elected secretary, and as
he arose to take his seat was seen to be
anxieusly searching fer something in his
pocket. Some thought it might be d
pocket pistol, Others handkerchief, but
it was generally believed that he merely
was searching for his pencil. The sup
pos tions were all wrong. The object of
his search was soon made apparent by
his producing q square piece of yellow
paper, from which he read in ponderous
tones the following magnetic words:
"Have got the postoffice; select loca-
tion at once. Signed,
G. G. MCNAMARA"
Then in tones of thunder the Judge
spake as followetb: "We've been work
