Through the Weary Hours

Of many night, made doubly long by its
protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer
tosses to and fro on his seepless couch,
vainly praying for that rest which only
comes by fits and starts. His malady is
one which ordinary medicines too often fail
to relieve, but there is ample evidence to
prove that the efficient blood depurient,
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, affords the
rheumatic reliable means of relief. Check
the maady in its Incl pient stages, when the
first premonitory twinges come on, with this
agreeable medicine, and avoid years of tor
ture. Whatever be the rationale of the ac-
tive influence of the Bitters upon this
malady, certain it is that no evidence relat-
ing to its effect is more direct and positive
than that which relates to it's action in
cases of rheumatism. Like all sterling
remedies, however, it deserves protracted,
systematic, systematic trial, and should not
be abandoned because not at once remedial.
1t is equally efficacious in dyspepsia, i'll
digestion and kindred diseases.

BOLD ROBBERY,
BURGLARS ENTER NoLAN's STORE TUESDAY
NIGHT AND ROB THE SAFE.

One of the boldest robberies that
ever occurred in Corvallis was CON-
mitted last Tueday night in J. NJ. No
lan's store. Althoug gh the electric
light was burning both in the street
and in the store, the BURGERS entered,
blew open the safe and helped
themselves to the contents and
escaped without interference,
leaving a crowbar and chisef as
the only evidence by which to trace
the guilty parties. The first known of
the robbery was Wednesday morning
when H. Brasslield, a clerk, came down
to open'the store for the days business.
He found that the front door had been
battered or pried open, evidently
with Il crowbar, which was afterward
recognized as having been taken from
the corner blacksmith shop on the op-
poste side OF the street. On entering
the store it was discovered that the
safe door had been blown off of its
hinges, the burglars having accomplish
ed this part of tie job very easily by
drilling hole near the combination,
filling it with powder and igniting it.
The safe once open it was an easy
matter for them to help themselves
to the contents and make their escape,
which they did by way of the back
door. Fortunately for Mr.. Nolan he
had deposited all of his money in the
bank the previous day except about
SOD and few county orders. This
was all the burglars got for their trouble
except few papers and accounts which
were of no value to them or anybody
else except Mr.. Nolan. None of the
goous in the store WAS disturbed. The
robbery is supposed to have been COM
mitted at about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, as people living in the vicinity say
they heard the sound of an explosion
at about that hour. How the store
could have been entered by the front
door in the manner in which it was at
any hour of the night without attract
ing the attention of some cne is mys-
terry, as the burglars must have made
considerable noise in accomplishing
their work, and the question being
asked by everybody is: "Where was
the night watchl' AS will be noticed
elsewhere, reward of $50 has been
oferd by J. M. Nolan for the return
ward of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction of the guilty parties.

A ST. LOUIS PHYSICIAN.

Report.

A st. Louis gentleman whose affiction was
sick headaches was so surprised at the cure
effected by joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, that he
called it to the attention of relative, who hap
pened to be none other than DR.. F. A. Barrett,
the well-known ST. Louis physician of 1862 Shen-
andoah Street. The doctor saw at once that it
differed from the potash preparations in that it
was purely vegetable, and becoming interested
in 1t, began a series of Investigations, and in
subsequent letter candidly admitted its curative
properties, and says;-
Wishing to test its virtues further, used it
in my own family, and prescribed it for patients
who required q general system regulator. AS
result, can say it is an almost absolute cure for
constipation, biliousness, dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, and sick headaches. These troubles usu-
ally come from a disturbed condition of the
stomach and bowels, and joys Vegetable Sarsa'
parlla is the best laxative and stomach regula-
tor have ever seen, and as Q general system
corrective is almost perfection itself.

avenged His Friend.

Alderman Higgins is the owner of
two handsome and valuable dogs. One
is quite small, while the other is a
good sized fellow. They are both well
behaved and quiet. The other morn
ing the little dog started up the street
alone. Before he had gone far two
osher dogs met him and fight ensued
IN which the little one was badly pun
i,hed. After getting away he turned
and went to the Higgins studio, where
his big chum was reposing A few mo-
ments later the larger dog wanted to go
out; the door'was opened and he dart
ed up the street. Before going far he
met the two dogs who had assailed the
little one, and, in the language of the
small boy, she licked 'em both" Hav-
ing accomplished this work, he went
back to the studio wagging his tail and
apparently much pleased at having
avenged his comrade.-Bath (Me.) En-

THE ADVOCATE.
Phantom Cannon.

Among the strangest OF phenomena
are the explosive noises that have been
heard for years over half OF the large
area of the Ganges delta and that have
not yet been assigned to any satlsfac-
tory cause. The noises, for the lack of
better name, have long been known
as the Barisal guns, SO called from
Barisal, the chief town of the district
to which they are mostly confined.
The startling sounds were the subject
of long discussion at a meeting of the
Asiatic Society of Bengal, but the
learned members are no nearer solu-
ton of the mystery now than when it
was first discussed and written about,
nineteen years ago.
The sounds resemble the explosion
of bombs or the thunder of heavy guns.
They occur at quite regular intervals,
but most frequently in the rainy sea-
son, and their usual accompaniment is
a southerly wind. They are heard
along 100 miles of the coast and up the
many branches of the delta from so
to 100 miles inland, and due north as
far as the Caro- hills, about $50 miles
from the coast. The low lying swampy
coast region for fifty miles inland is
thinly inhabited, and, strange as it
may appear, no one ever seems to be
at or near the place where the noises
originate. The meeting of the Asiatic
society was prolific of theories as to
the cause of this phenomenon, but no
theory was supported by evidence en-
titling it to much weight.
The noises are variously assigned to
atmospheric electricity, to subterranean
or subaqueous agencies, to the bursting
of bamboos- which last, however pro-
duces a noise more like the crack of
musketry than the boom of artillery
and also TO the breaking of the ire
inendous surf rollers along the north
ern shore of the Bay of Bengal, the
sound of which, it is urged, is borne far
inland among the river channels. -Bos-

Man is the only animal who Graves
ice-cold drinks in hot weather. The
wiser instinct of all domestic animals
prefers water near the temperature of
the surrounding air in summer, and
in cold weather that which is near
the blood heat. Cows will often
drink from sone muddy pond while
refusing clear water from deep
well. To get them to drink the latter
it should be pumped several hours be-

He Had Forgotten Something.

1 was staying on the Riviera when
the famous convulsion of 1888 occurred.

dashed two pictures off the wall of my
room and upset the washstand. While
was striking a match another shock
strewed me and some chairs among
some fragments of broken crockery. 1

member that during an earthquake you
are no safer in the streets than in a
covered building; SO l dressed without
mad precipitancy, and after a des-
perate struggle to open my door-which
had got j&mmed-walked down stairs
The sight was one never to be forgot
ten. Men, women and children in
deshabille were huddled in the front
hall, crying, shrieklng and praying.
Some had bolted out of doors with
hardly any clothes on, and had made
for the sea, where they clamored to be
rowed out in open boats-about the
worst thing they could do.
Among the panic stricken folk was
an old gentleman in Pyiamas, who had
come down the stairs three steps at a
time. But on reaching the hall he ex-
claimed that he had forgotten some
thing and must go back. His friends
shouted 20 him that the upper stories
were dangerous; but he turned a deaf
ear bounded up stairs and presently
returned parting. The thing which he
had forgotten was his set of false teeth!

The laws Of health are taught in our
schools; but not in way to be of
much practical benefit and are never
illustrated by living examples, which
in many cases could easily be done.
If some scholar, who had just con-
tracted cold was brought before the
school, so that all could hear the dry
loud cough, and know its significance /;
see the thin white coating on the
tongue and later, as the cold develops,
see the profuse watery expectoration
and thin watery discharge from the
nose, not one of them would ever for
get what the first symptoms of a cold
were. The scholar should then be
given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even
severe cold could be cured in one OF
two days, or at least greatly mitigated,
when properly treated as soon as the
first symptoms appear. For sale by
