We suggest that the man who has a clean
well-kept field of corn of any considerable size
this season, is entitled TO diploma giving cred

A Wonder Worker

Mr.. Frank Huffman, a young man of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment
until he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to be con-
sumption and incurable. He was per-
suaded to try DIR. Kings New Discov-
cry for consumption, coughs and colds
and at that time was not able to walk
across the street without resting. He
found, before he had used half of u dol

he continued to use it and is today en-
Joying good health. Ifyou have any

Our readers will remember a notice
| in the REGISTER week or two ago
OF the mysterious disappearance Oh

named Straubenmuller, formerly OF

with another man last March to start
prospecting for gold about so to %
miles from this station. The country
that they went to is a mountainous
country with no water and no timber;
it is a portion of the Colorado Desert.
The first camp that they made was at
Cottonwood Springs, so miles from
this place. In the winter a few
springs of water can be found. in the
summer these springs dry up. Mr.. s.
and his partner (Masters) started with
three burros to pack provisions and
water on; arrived at Cottonwood in due
time they began prospecting. At night
they would return to camp. In about
ten days two other men (prospectors)
camped with them-one by the name
of Bowen, the others name was Sling
er. Mr.. S. would remain and take
care of the camp while the others
would prospect. On the 2nd of May
the burros got away and came to this
place. knew that they belonged to
Mr.. S. so penned them up, expecting
someone from Cottonwood Springs to
come in and get them. No one came
until MAY II, then all three of them
came in and asked me if Mr.. Strauben-
mueller had arrived. They were sur
prised when l informed them that he
had not. They then got some water
and started back. In 26 hours they

irredeemable paper currency was issu-

Republic in order to help the people.
The annual message of the president

twenty cents instead of one hundred
cents. Yet some people want that

The Alliance held all open meeting
OF Salem Saturday night and quite a
number were out. Mr.. Bartlett, of
lola, Choguill and Rath, of Humboldt,
and "Pap" Hayward were The speak
era. Mr.. Bartlett said, in the course
of his remarks, that the Alliance "was
womanly, non-political, with strong
political tendencies We guess that
since the Cincinnati conference" and
the su omission of the platform adopt
ed there to the subordinate Alliances,
for adoption or rejection, they have
quit declaring it non-political.
WHY don't the Alliance form third
party, if they want one land make II o
bones about itn and try to RIM under
the grip and password as they have
been doing. We make the prediction
that when the new movement ceases
to play i'm the hands of the men who
have been at the head of it since its In
ception, they will drop it as though it
were hot potato. There are many
men in the Alliance party who are
III llCll CllOl tb ISioALh' D"s
the leaders have a political object in
view. And when reform stands in the
way of their political or pecupiary adj
yancement they are mot in it," For
example: The Alliance members pass
ed a resolution through the House be-
fore the election Of State Printer to the
effect that whoever was elected must
accept the office at a salary Of 900 a
year-this was when they thought q
Republican would be elected. But
when an Alliance man was elected
they had no use for reform, and they
pas sed bill that was az much of a
steal as any that the Republicans have
ever been accused of. And then the
Alliance State Printer tried to sell a
book to the school districts that had
been printed at the States expense.
Great is reform when it is the other
fellows that are to be reformed. The
Alliance went into the campaigns last
fall without a record; they have one
now and when the proper time comes
it will be shown up, and it is not one
that they will be proud OF.

will Drop the Cease.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23-Helen Molay
the pretty young woman who was
arrested a few days ago, charged
with obtaining money under false
pretences, will appear again in the
morning before Justice Lyon to per-
NIT an inquiry into the circumstances
of her family. The case will I'M
doubtedly be dropped as the evil
dence shows that she received money
from three or four firms under the
pretense of wanting it for charita bic
work of the Kings Daughters, but
instead applied it to helping her own
mother, who had q family of five
children and was in Strengthened cir
cumstances. This fact mas induced
Mrs. Ida Stewart, State Secretary of
the Kings Daughters to take an inte-
rest in the girl and give her stu.

WAsHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The i'm
proved state of ChiIian affairs has al
tered the distribution of the naval
vessels. The San Francisco will go
to Honolulu, the Charleston is on her
way there, while the Pensacola is al
ready there. Admiral Gherardi will
probably be sent in command Of the
North Atlantic station and will de
vote his time to acquiring one or two
coaling stations in the West Indies.
In case of future trouble with Chilli he
will probably be sent to assist the
Baltimore, Boston and Yorktown.
Rear Admiral Walker will doubtless
be sept to the South Atlantic station
with the Chicago, Bennington and

ests in Brazil and Chill.

National Committee.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 20 The re-
publican national committee is hold
ing meeting at the Arlington Hotel
today The committee will fill the
vacancy OccsstOned by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Matthew Quay, determine
the time and place OF holding the
next republican convention and trans
act other business. 1t is probable
that the Hon. J. s. Clarkson will be
Mr. Quay's successor. 1t is proposed
to fix the time OF the conven ton for
the last of next May. Cincinnati
seems to be the choice of the majority
of the committee as the place for the
convention. Omaha, Minneapolis,
Philadelphia, Chicago and San Fran
cisco all want il and are vigorously
urging their claims. NJ. II. DeYoung,
proprietor of the San Francisco Chron-
icle, is here in the interest of his city.
The business men of San Fran els
CO." says Mr.. DeYoung, have author
lied me to make any promises to the
national committee L may see fit,
pleding themself to carry ont those
promises, il the conven ton comes to
our city. We have already agreed
to pay the railroad expenses OF all
the delegates to the coast and return.
We will do a great deal more. san
Francisco has no candidate to force
on the convention, in case she obtains
it. But there is one thing, the coast
will expect OF the next administra-
ton, whether it be repu blican or dem
Ocratic, a place in the cabinet The
reason is a, purely business one, en-
tirely apart from politics. The entire
coast suffers from lack of acquain-
fauces with its needs. There are q
thousand things of vital Importance,
commercially. to the Pacific coast,
IpOn which no one in the east, no
natter how we'll informed, can pro.
lerIy give advice to the president
Among many such questions are the
Desert act, the BehriUg sea fiseheries,
Hawaiian and Australasian trade
md communication, and our coast
lefenses. Few realize the exact ma
ure of the latter. In their present
condition, few CHILEAN ships could
DlOW San Francisco all to pieces.
