Obituary.

Archie L. Huff, son of William and Norat
Huff, was born in November the 2Sth, 1886
departed this life February the Goth. 1888
aged years, 3 months and one day. His
funeral was preached by Elder r. c. Martin
in Pendlenton church house, to many SYM
pathizing relatives and friends, after which
the little form was laid away in the Pendle-
tan cemetery, there to quietly sleep until the
resurrection morn. Little Archie was our
only son, but from some canse unknown to
us, it pleased the Lord to call him from our
fond embrace. While we realize the painful
stroke, We'll try to bow In submission to the
will of Him who knows best.
Sweet little Archie is taken away,
Why it is, We cannot say,
The Lord saw fit to call him home,
Here on earth no longer to roam.
Sweet little Archie is now at rest,
Whom on earth Mamma loved best.
Angels have borne him to heaven,
To keep on earth he was not given.
We look upon the little toys,
Which give us grief instead of joys;
The little wagon and the sleigh
Which thou didst use in thy play.
Although thou vast our only dear son,
Yet We'll not grieve, dear little one,
For God has thought it best,
TO call thee to the home of the blest.
PAPA.

A Letter From Belgrade.

We have once in a while a little news here
which is not scandal. We are beginning to
feel the reaction following the overwhelming
dry vote given at Belgrade. The churches
here are as dead as Paddy's father. l see
that Fort Hill has fired out Rev. H. c. Flee
nor. He is to be congratulated on his eX-
pul>ion.
The idea was held out that the local option
crusade was war between the church and
the saloon. No doubt this is true; but it is
Just as true that judicious men will leave the
war there, and avoid both parties. Every
now and then we have tremendous racket
over some alleged moral issue, but the result
shows that the constest was merely sham
battle, fought with blank cartridges, between
two divisions of the DEVILS army.
There seems to be quite an exodus to CAL
ifornia. The eXodusters are the dupes of a
swindle as complete as anything that ever
roped in greenhorns. Even Florida never
equaled it. l believe in the natural and in
alienable right of man to be fool, if he
chooses.
County Judge Joseph Walton has sold out
and moved away. His successor found on
the premises an immense deposit of purely
vegetable character which will require dyna-
mite to develope it.
1t is proposed that in term time at Potosi
house to furnish a cup of good coffee and a
sandwich at any hour of the day. The idea
is a good one, and was originated by some
large hearted and clear headed woman.
Speaking of Potosi recalls another matter.
When the Potosi independent announces the
first appearance on any stage of young
American actor it VIII for instance say
"Born to the wife of Higranes TurniptOp u
boy" This settles the maternity of the
child without committing the L9deDendeHt
any further. That is a very judiciOus course,
worthy of imitation. For the reason for this
suggestion the REGISTER is respectfully re-
ferred to the explanation given to Mark
Twain by the South Sea Islanders for their
practice Of tracing their genealogy of their
royal family always in the female line. 1t is
unnecessary to say anything to the IadepeRd
eRt, as it has evidently caught on and it is
hoped that the REGISTER will not be caught
mapping, but will maintain its position as
an exponent of advanced thought.
1t will make.no difference where the Dem
ocratic National Convention meets, its nom
inees are quite sure of election. The death
of the Republican party by suicide can hard
ly be lamented. The Democracy is developing
generaship very rapidly.

ssUncle john" of Arcadia, seems to be, to
some extent, politician as well as a literary
parsonage. He mentioned a name last week
for the coming gubernatorialc contest and asks
that other correspondents come forward
with their choice. We have no particular
choice as yet, but since Arcadia can boast of
being thicker with literary beings than ''fd-
oilers in the region of Pluto" we see no rea-
son why a suitable candidate could be found
there; therefore, we mention the names of
"ITncle .Iohn,n "Uncle Isaac" and the old
reliable, "Granny." The latter would, be-
vond a doubt, present himself to the public
as the most available candidate, and would
certainly poll the entire vote of the Belya
lockwood element. Next!
The curiosity of many would considerably
subside if Mr.. Editor would tell us why the

In Brief. and to the Point,

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and VOL
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
and many other things which ought
not TO be, have made the American
people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.

Exan ihe RuslIe Didn't Save Them.

New York, Sept. Custom Inspectress
Mrs. Florence Nj. Todd discovered in the
baggage of Mrs. F. Pennington, passen-
ger on the Servia, 29x yards of cashmere
and TX yards of alpaca, which had not
been mentioned in her declaration. Onthe
passengers person she found three yards
of flannel, 16k yards of silk and two finger
rings. The same inspectress also ex-
amined the baggage and clothing of Mrs.
Sommers, passenger on the Werra, and
found the following: two cloth dresses,
one silk dress, two pieces of dress trim
mings, twenty -four bracelets, three breast
pins and nine pairs of earrings.
Mrs. Sommers had utilized her
hustle for concealng the prop
erty, and when these articles were
found she tried to bribe the inspectress to
let her keep them. 1t was no use and in
both instances the goods were seized
