La Grippe-A Few Pointers.

Persons who have had a cold are
much more likely to take the influenza
or so-called la-grippe.
1t is much more severe when accom-
panied by cold.
The most critical time is when re-
covering from the disease, as slight ex-
posure will often cause relapse, and
that is almost certain to end in lung
fever or pneumonia.
The feet should be kept dry and
warm, the body well clothed and care
used to avoid eXpOSurse.
The bowels should be kept regular
and persons physically weak should
take quinine to keep up the vitality.
With these precautions and free
use Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a
prompt recovery is reasonably certain.
That remedy is unequalled for severe
cold and this disease requires precisely
the same treatment. For sale by Il.
E. Gapen g. Son.
The grippe is robbed of all dangerous
consequences by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as directed for a severe
cold. For sale by T. E. Gapen & Son.

A copy of the Canton Oak. Adrocate

article denying with some heat the
current newspaper stories about Suf-

has just made thorough canvass Of
the districts reported to be suffering,

BLAIR's BIBLE BILL.
A Counter Petition Being Circulated In
Ottawa. N"'}s ~

49,
Ottawa. ""'1t '-
William T. HibbOn and j. r. Buster,
the latter cOlored, have for the past
few days been circulating petition in
the interest of the National Religious
Liberty Association in opposition to
the proposed bill introduced in the
United States Senate by Senator
Blair, of New Hampshire, to place the
bible in the schools.
The petition is not meeting with
great success here, as the average citi-
zen knows that Senator Blair's pro-
posed bill is contrary to the consti-
tuition, and even if it were passed by
the National Congress, twO-thirds Of
the states must ratify it before it
could become constitutional amend
ment. Further than this, neither the
Douay bible or the bible OF King
James could possibly be agreed upon.
No, the average citizen has no fear of
union of church and state.

MR.. NIDIrO'S RECORD.

ED. GAzETTE:-1'hrough the col
nnns Of the GAZETTE | would like to
answer II little article that appeared in
the Corvallis Times last week, CRITICS
ing Willis Viditos political recorl. |
differ with my friend Republican. If
[ had written such an article | would
have signed my name "Eli Perkins. .
In fact, there is not man in Benton
county with IL better record than MIR.
Vidito. When the Republican party
wa, in it's infancy, and drove to The
wall by secession, Willis Vidto enlisted
in the Union army, and risked his life
to maintain the principles he endorsed.
He did not send fictitious name.
AS to Vidito's anti-monopoly senti-
ments, he stands with Lincoln, Sumner
Seward, Oliver p. Morton and many
other worthy champions Of the repub-
ican party. But l don't think his
critic "Repuhlican" has brains enough
to solve the. finance question. In fact.
| don't think he is republican at all
l think he had better ride a pack sad
die and vote the democratic ticket
straight. Mr.. Vidito is an active, Ell
ergetic man, and although he has had
the misfortune to lose one arm, il
lelected-and | am satisfied he will be
will assess this county in less time
better than any other assessor ever has
done. In conclusion will say that
Willis Vidito is man of good judg
ment, well posted in the value Of prop
erty and well qualified in every re
spect to fill the Office of assessor.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The Times publishes a tissue OF
falsehood from Barney Goldsmith
about money being used by re-
lpublicans, which for pure, out
rageous lying beats all former rec
ords. The facts in the case are
that every republican knows that
scarcely enough money has been
furnished by the central com
mittee to defray the usual eX-
lpenses for printing tickets etc.
while the democrats have, by levy
ing heavy tribute on every mem
Der of the party who holds an
Office or has employment On any
public works. flooded the country
with Doodle with which they ex-
pect to secure the election Of their
ticket. As a specimen Of this
virtuous party's action on the
Doodle question, read the follow
ing from the Oregonian Of the %:
A few days ago Chairman Gold
smith, Of the democratic state
central committee, issued letter
warning people that the repuoll-
cans would use a "sack" in the
election. According TO the ap-
pended letter some one has been
.attening the democratic Golfers
with tribute Levied upon the en-
p!oves of state institutions. 1t
was written by an employe Of the
insane asylum, who says he can
substantiate what he says:
SALEM. May 26.-TTo THE Ed
IToR. One day last week a being
erect upon two legs, bearing the
ward semblance Of a man en-
tered the asylum for the insane
and perpetrated a regular swindle
on the employees. This man WAS
Frye, the druggist. He came
armed with an assessment roll and
demanded a half months pay
from every einpioye III the institu-
lion, from the poor boy who has q
widowed mother to support and
who is getting only $40 per month,
and has to commence work at 1
o'cIock in the morning, to the
highest paid euploye, threatening
all with immediate dismissal j!
they refused TO comply. Now |
wish to ask the public what they
think OF this imposition? OF
course the nefarious game worked
and this swagging pi!Imixer, Frye,
pocketcd the proceeds. [ wish to
ask Governor Pennoyer, who poses
as champion Of the poor man,
whether he expects to be re-elect-
ed on such fraudulent principles.
If he is such Il friend to the poor
man as he pretends TO be, lie will
have this man Frye refund every
dollar OF the harI-earned money
of he employees Of the institution,
which he collected. God knows
they work hard enough for what
little they receive. The republi-
can party never resorted to such
means to raise money.
