Syrup"

G.. Gloger, Druggist, WATERFOWL,
Wis. This is the opinion of a man
who keeps a drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, and can
therefore judge: 81 know of no
medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat,
or Hoarseness that had done such eff
fective work in my
Coughs, family as Boschee's
aorarhro.+ German Syrup. Last
winter a lady called
Hoarseness, at my store, who was
suffering from a very
severe cold. She could hardly talk,
and 1 told her about German Syrup
and that a few doses would give re-
lief; but she had no confidence in
patent medicines. I told her totake
a bottle, and if the results were not
satisfactory would make no charge
for it. A few days after she called
and paid for it, saying that she
wouldnever be without it in future as
a few doses had given her relief" o

There's danger
in a c~ough-more than ever when
your blood is chad" 1t makes
things easy for Consumption. But
there's a cure for it in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. A posi-
tive cure-not only for Weak
Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Bron-
chitis, Asthma and all lingering
Coughs, but for Consumption itself
in all its earlier stages. It's rea-
sonable. All these diseases depend
on tainted blood. Consumption is
simply Lung scrofula. And for
every form of scrofula and blood
faint, the discovery" is a certain
remedy. It's SO certain, that its
makers guarantee it to benefit or
cure, in every case, or the money is
refunded. With a medicine that is
certain, this can be done.
There's a cure for Catarrh, too,
no matter what you've been led to
believe. If there isn't, in your case,
you'll get $500 cash. It's a bona
fde offer that's made by the pro-
prietors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. There's risk in it, to be
sure, but they are willing to take
the risk-you ought to be glad
to take the medicine.

Deputy Warden Dudiey's Machine fOs
the Execution of Criminals.

Deputy Warden Dudiey's Machine fof
the Execution of Criminals.
CANON CITY, Colo, Sept. 23-William
H. Davis was hanged in the state prison
here last night. All necessary prepare
lions had been carefully made and the
wit nesses who had been invited to witness
the execution were on hand. All the en-
ployes in and about the prison were
bound to the strictest secrecy, and not
word could be learned about the condition
of the prisoner and the time of the act.
The machine which carried out the man
date of the court was given trial yester-
day morning and found to be in fine con-
dition. The hanging apparatus is very
unique, being the invention of Deputy
WARREN Dudley, and having been tried
in only one instance previous to this.
Description of the Instrument.
The instrument as described in brief as
follows: In the upper part of square
frame made of four uprights bucket of
water is set, the contents of which when
ready for operations weigh Twenty-Five
pounds. Directly beneath the bucket and
connected with it by rubber hose with a
valve is another bucket and connected to
the upper bucket by lever is forty
pound iron ball which connects again
with an iron rod which keeps it in place
at a-height of six feet. The weight of $50
pounds, which, when the water is drawn
from the bucket, is allowed to descend,
jerking the condemned man of his feet
about three feet in the air. From this
large weight a rope runs through two
pulleys over partition and then down
into the execution room where it hangs
directly over a platform three feet square
on which the condemned stands
Desd in Seven Minutes.
Everything being in readiness Davis
was brought in and the moose and black
cap were placed in position. After he had
been given an opportunity to say good-by
to those around him, he was told to step
on the small platform. His weight on the
platform opened the faucet in the upper
bucket and the water flowed into the
bucket beneath. This allowed the weight
to drop and Davis was jerked into the Fir.
His neck was broken and he was pro-
nounced dead in seven minutes. The crime
for which Davis was hanged was the kill
ing of his mother and her alleged para
mour in Pueblo in July last.

of manhood in him, and who wants to
see the country prosper should ride on
that boat. OF course he ought to go by
the Regulator even if it does cost more.
But there are travellers, who have no
particular interest in Eastern Oregon or
in an open river. whose only considera-
ton is the, question of cheapness. To
them we say by all means adopt the
course suggested because in doing SO you
help the friends of an open river while
you put money in your own pocket.
When the Union Pacific finds that it
costs them $5.10 to carry a passenger
from the counties east of Wasco to Port
land and return, they may come to the
conclusion that to maintain the opposi-
tion is rather an expensive luxury.

WHO rs THE MAN9

The editor of the AstoriGn passed up
this way few days ago on visit to
Spokane. From an interesting account
of the trip which appeared in the col.
ums OF his paper we extract the follow
ing. After speaking of the well-known
moving mountain and the locks now in
course of construction the writer says
But there is something at these locks
more interesting to Astorians than any
mountain, moving or stationary. 1t is Il
line of boats put on bv The Dalles, Port
land & Astoria Navigation Company.
This company has built a steamboat,
the Regulator, which runs between The
Dalles and the Cascades. 1t carries
freight and passengers, which at the
Cascades are transferred over portage
road, just built, and operated by the
state, to another boat. The Dalles City,
which runs from below the Cascades to
Portland. The Union Pacific Company
had the d. 5. Baker en- between The
Dalles and the Cascades and the Lur-
line from the Cascades to Portland.
Men on the train said the opposition
was a success, the new line had put fares
and freights away down, and were doing
good business and making money, and
while the train stopped at the station
the Regulator came along, her deck filled
with passengers. while behind came the
company's boat with scarcely anyone
aboard.
One resident of The Dalles in talking
about the situation to the writer said:
Were all right. The U. p. hasn't
got cinch on us any more. We can
save money nomth we formerly paid
Tor freight; the opposition boat is a big
thing for The Dalles, and for the whole
river: you folks at Astoria ought to
stand in with u.s.
=, Is this permaneitt?" was asked.
,'Yes, of course it is," was the reply of
The Dalles resident, who handed the
trouble may be in some folks selling out.
1t would be worth 81 ,000, 900 to the COM
pany to just buy off two or three men.
If had u chance and the company were
to offer me $25, ZOO to throw the thing,
you bet I'd do it,
We looked ut his card, and told him
that was damaging admission to make
to newspaper man.
Hell ~ said he emphatically, ST
didn't know you were newspaper man.
DON'T give me away"
This is given here as an illustration of
Human nature all over. 1t shows just
what The Dalles, Portland K Astoria
Navigation company have to fear. This
fellow who is in business at The Dalles,
would sell out the town if he could, and
play into the hands of the corporation.
The opposition charges 81 to Portland
the U. p. Company charges 1885.
(Since our return to Astoria word comes
! that the y. p. company has cut the rate
way down, now charging only so cents,
instead of 1886. This is evidently a
.hluff)
Business men at The Dallcs and else
where along the river assert, positively,
that they will stay with the opposition
and give it all their business. The Reg
ulator shows what could be done with
an open river, a matter in which no
community is more strongly interested
than is Astoria.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1891-10-27

The Union Pacific is sowing the wind
and it will reap the whirlwind by and
by. 1t is contesting in the courts, with
all it's might the rates tixe d by the rail-
road commission, which that body de-
clares to be just and equitable. Here it
has charged a robber tariff between this
city and Portland ever since it owned
the road 1t has openly defed the law,
as many. believe, in the matter of charg-
ing double rates between this city and
Portland, on all goods shipped from the
east. Last winter it tied up the Baker
during period of some six months
and left the people on the Washington
side without any communication with
the outer world except by skiffs, and
now when the people have put on line
of boats of their own as simple meas
ure of necessity, every effort that a
greedy, soulless and constituencies cor
poration can devise will be resorted to
crush them. But this cannot last al
ways. The people are sick and tired of
railroad oppression and railroad control,
and we shall miss our guess exceedingly
if the rext legislature is not composed
of set of men who viii not be afraid to
stand in with the people as against the
railroads. One thing is dead certain, at
the next election over this way, we wont
have any use for any one who wears a
railroad collar, no matter what party
nominates him.
