Surprising Testimony,

Many physicians who have examined
into the merits of b. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm). have been confronted
with testimony which they deemed sur
prising, and thus being convinced of
its wonderful efficacy. have not failed
to prescribe it in their practice as oc-
casion required.
ii. l.. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ca, writes
For two years my wife was great
sufferer. Skillful physicians did heI
no good. Her mouth was one solid
ulcer, her body was broken out in sores
and she lost beautiful head of hair
Three bottles of ID. B. l}. cured her com.
pletely, incredible rs 1t may sound, and
she is now the mother of a healthy
three months old baby clear from any
scrofulous taint."

THE MAN WITH THE DIRTY MOUTH.
II is Thought Cannon win Lose Every

IL Is Thought Cannon will Lose Every
County but one In his District.
TuscoLA, ILL, Sept. lO.-The oucs-
ton is being asked in many quarters,
"Will Congressman, Cannon be re-elec;-
ed in the Fifteenth 'Dastrict9n He has so
long been able to hold his scat that
many man th5s! n ID mn possible tlist he can be
9nss:sed But the bestjadges Eyer tAatts thai
Cannon has been elected for the last
time. They say Inc has placed stigma
upon tho Fifteenth District that will lose
him many votes. The better class of
voters OF both parties have passed judy
mcnt upon him. and the verdict is that
he must so 10 make room for man who
will not humiliate and disgrace his con-
stituents. who are Il refined, intelligent
and moral people.
His conduct has closed the mouths OF
his friends and even they do not attempt
to shield him or uphold his course. In
addition to this the farmers promise to
assist in defeating him. They are
organized strongly IN every county, and
they are almost solidly against him be-
cause. during the eighteen years he has
been in Congress. he has neglected to do
anything lOr their relief.
Again. there is an open re, olt against
Cannon among the Republicans who
have become tired ofms bossism and tho
arrogant methods of his l;cuteants.
This revolt is ledby fourteen Republican
newspapers. and they pour hot shot into
him daily. Some of them advocate fore
ing hlm off the ticket,iu order to place
n more acceptable man there. The
greatest fear among the Democrats is
that this will be the result. Gen. Sam
uel L. BuseY, the Democratic nominee,
commanded the SeveDty-sixth Illinois
Regiment during the'war, and his record
as solder is a splendid one. He COM
manded at the capture of Fort Blakcly,
the last battle of the war, where he was
wounded. When Cannon was asked in
1862 why he did not 60 to the army, he
carelessly replied: damn it, there isn't
money enough in it,"
This language is remembered by the
old soldiers. In addition to the other i'll
fluence brought to bear, the old soldiers
will cut quite figure, rs he has sue
cccded in getting himself very much dis
liked by that element. He has almost
wholly ignored the veterans in appoint
ing post mustrrs anu oti,or offioets, strrI
they are hostile toward him. His vote
in favor of the Mckinley bill, which is
odlous to his constituents. is also factor
against him, aud the outlook is that Inc
will loose every county in tins district
but VcrmilliOn.

METCALF, Ca, Sept. l8.-A resident
OF Claire, Fla, B. B. Doss by name,
committed suicide here by shooting him
self. Mental alteration, caused by family
troubles, led to the rash act. He was
married to the adopted daughter of
Euchben Manning. 1t was a runaway
match, but they did not live happily to-
gether. and she returned to her foster
parents, charging that he had been cruel
to her. He plead with her to return 10
his home, threatening to do something
desperate if she did not, but she would
not listen to his supplicAtions, and re-
maincd. So Doss came here and made
another effort to regain her affection,
begging her to accompany him home.
She pcremptorily refused to go. Then
he drew his revolver and ended his life.

Tho Cotton ISagginE Tax.

WAsuINGTON, September 9.-Sena-

induce the Senate TO relent in favor OF
the cotton planters of the South and
place cotton bagging on the free list with

The consideration of the tariff bill was

asked that even insticc be shown t
Southern cotton planters. Several Re
publicans raised the point that dcbat
was not in order, but he had said all h
cared to say on the subject. A vot
was taken and the party lines wer
drawn, hence the Butler amendmen
was defeated. There is still a smal
possibility that the cotton planters ma
obtain relief when the confrees get t
work on the bill. The South Carolin
Senators will continue to ask for free cot

Nor BAD-Three weeks ago

Nor BAD--Three weeks ago
every body was signing for clear
weather. Now such has come and
things are reversed-"Oh, for some
rain" This is a curious world,
but more so are its people. One
man from Nebraska, now residing
In Corvallis, says he can't see
where Oregon has any advantages
over his state, and yet to a GA
zETTE man, he related an exper-
ience of his (in that state) that
was something like this: One
noon, in the city where he was liv-
ing he started to go home, only
about four blocks distant from his
office. A blizzard suddenly came
up and he became bewidered in
that short distance and was lost.
He could not see rod ahead of
him, the snow drifted high; it blew
up his coat sleeves. into bis pock-
cts, and all over him. He could
not do anything so he got down
behind a drift and waited for the
storm to get through. 1t was not
long before a lull in the storm
came over. He got up and on
looking around saw that he was
only few yards from his barn,
and in places the ''beautifuP' had
piled up six feet against the sidss
of buildings. All done in short
time. This was in Nebraska.
This man said he was strictly
'ssober" at the time. No one de-
nies that. But when you get lost
in going four blocks IN Oregon you
certainly have had plenty Of
water. Oregon weather may not
be just what some real estate agent
has said it is, but it is better than
billiards, cyclones, and grasshop-
perS.

PERsoNAL.-J. G.. Crome, the
travelling agent for the firm of Pal
mer & Rey, type dealers in Port
land, was in Corvallis on Tuesday.
On March 1st he will retire from
the above business and go to
Sedro. Washington. where he will
begin the publication of the Sedro
Enterprise, 7-column folio issued
weekly. There is a. splendid
opening there for journal, al
though one has been established
there for the past ten months. An
evidence of some of the en-
couragement given Mr.. Crome for
starting the paper is that one
merchant in that city guarantees
him $4,000 worth of advertising
a year-more than is done in all
the Benton county papers in the
same time.
