An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
hicted? If you will remember few
years ago the word Malaria was CON-
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So ii
is with nervous diseases. as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
IA cure. We recommend Green's Au-
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous.

Arrival of Immigrants.

The train from Tacoma at go yes
terday, brought III passengers. among
whom were quite a number of immi-
grants. A number of them were
Scandinavians, and they felt, as they
gathered in the depot. like strangers
in strange land till they ran across
policeman Holmberg, who addressed
them in their native tongue, and to
their great joy soon had them safely
started to their final destination, As
toria. Some of the immigrants were
going no further and were met by
their friends, and there was hugging
and kissing and great reioicing.-Ore,

The American street car or the
ticket window of a railroad station
or steamboat Office frequently offers
this unpleasant spectacle: A well
dressed, and to all appearances, a
well-bred woman, opens her pocket
book, picks out a piece of money, and
deliberately puts it in her mouth and
holds it there while she closes her
purse, readjusts her glove and ar
ranges her many packages. II some
modern Smollet would lay before her
eyes "The Adventures of Dime" if
she could dimly conceive of the
unutterable foulness through which
the coin she holds between her dainty
lips has probably passed, q loathing
horror would overwhelm her. But in
,blssful unconsciousness she caresses
that which is the embodiment of all
filthiness. Aside from the view of
cleanliness is the question of con-
tagion. That this nasty habit is often
responsible for the spread of infec-
tious diseases cannot be doubted.

An East Portland woman has found
a way to dispose of money with holes
punched in it. She recently offered
one to merchant there, not with the
shame-faced or hurried manner in
which such coins are often offered,
but reluctantly, asserting that it was
keepsake, and she would not part
with it for any money, but would
leave itproviding the merchant would
promise to keep it until she should
call for it, which she promised to
within week. The merchant took
the keepsake, delivered her goods,
and gave back the necessary change
for SIS, and the customer departed and
has not been seen since. The mer-
chant is about fifty cents out.

At The Congregational Church.

A praise service of more than or
dinary merit was held at the congre-
gational church last Sunday evening,
the occasion being the reopening OF
the church. A fine choir led by Mrs.
+. @. Wheeler, rendered some beauti-
full selections, and Rev. G.. Q. Hall de-
livered an eloquent address. Not the
least among the exercises was an ex-
quisite recitation, "What shall we
be" by the gifted Miss Edith Conn,
beginning with the lines:
What shall we be and whittier shall we
20,
When the last conflict of our life ia DER
And we return from wandering to and
fro,
To our dear home through heavens

The idiot who Thought it was a
deer" is having great fun shooting
companions and brothers and rela.
tives generally. The latest of this
too numerous tribe of idiots is heard
from at Port Townsend, where he
killed two women-sisters-who were
walking through a grain field. He
pulled his gun. Thought it was a
deer" and blazed away. As usual he
is "sorry." Probably the best thing
to do with a creature like that is to
make a eunuch of him. Then he'll
quit thinking.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused such
general revival of trade at Jno. e. De
meut's Drug Store as their giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappOints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured E.
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size 81. Every

There is considerable discussion
about who shall be employed as prin-
cipal of the Court street school, and
several distinguished and extin-
guished educators are spoken of. The
directors still have the matter in
allegiance. Two things are plain as
to this and all other schools. As the
teacher is, so is the school, and to
neglect the primary demands for the
frills is to neglect the main purpose
for which people pay taxes to main.

Thirty-six years ago says the Vel

practicing attorney and poor, loaned
general S. Coffin $500, and in order
to secure the payment took a mort

The Northwest thinks it is a little
strange, though perhaps in the gen.
eral order of things that lieutenant
Young. who is in charge of the gov:
'ernment works at the Cascades su-
perintending the locks, is accumu-
lating a nice little fortune from a
ieutenant's salary. His property
down in Couch is estimated to be
worth S25,00O, and he has lately been
purchasing real estate for $4,000
more. It is wonderful how far some
people can make a small salary go.

Taking one consideration with an
other, the life of a country editor is
not altogether one of unalloyed hap
piness. The ups and downs of such
an existence are pathetically set forth
in the following paragraph from the
Covington (Ga.) Star: sour editor
will take in the press convention at
Canton this week, and probably run
down to Brunswick before his return.
He left in fine trim, having an extra
handkerchief and little over $1.25
in hard cash. P. S.-Since the above
was put in type the Rev. Jacob Carr
(colored) has managed to collect
75-cent blowing bill from the editor
and he will hardly have as big time
as he expected"

An exchange well says that it will
pay for the trouble it costs you to file
your home paper. No volume in your

more profit, more lasting benefit for

where, marriages, obituaries, legal
notices, etc. In short, your paper is a
history of the world you and your
friends occupy.

The person who furnishes items
to newspaper is always appreciated.
Many persons hesitate about sending
personal notes to newspaper regard
ing themselves, the movement of
themselves and friends, lest the news
paper man should think them too
anxious to see their names in print.
He will think nothing of the kind,
but on the contrary is glad of such
notes. Many seemingly unimportant
items are, when printed, news to a
large number of readers.
