TAKEN FOR A CRANK.

semi-fendish delight often seems to
possess people of strong nerves in sneering
at those with weak ones. The irritability
of the nervous hypochondriac is ridiculed as
natural ill temper. The very genuine aud
distres: ing symptoms from which he suffers
ate made light Of. He or ''shc is crank"
is the cheerful sort of sympathy with which
the nervous invalid meets from the unfeel-

no complaint is more defined and real, none
has more easily explainable origin when it
is cronic. Imperfect digestion and assimi-
lation are always accompanied by nervous
debility and anxiety. Built up the powers

gallon of good soft soap or whale-oil
soap, one gallon of hot water; stir well

BLOWN UP.

Some time fast year T. F. Medlll,
of Albany, took ny tlmbe claim
IN the Santiam country and with
his family has been living on it all win
ter. About two weeks ago Louis Dyer,
of Niagara, formerly of this city at
tempted to 'jump" portion of the
Claim on the ground that Medill is
trying to hold more than 16O acres.
He built a house, but before he moved
in it was torn down at night. He re-
built it in substantial manner, and
during his absence on Tuesday night of
last week, the cabin was blown to pieces
with dynamite, by whom is unknown,
the settlers ascriblng it in a grimly
jocular manner to Spontaneous COM
bustion." Medill is not accused Of
blowing up the house, the action being
generally ascribed to the other settlers
who declare that claim jumping will
not be tolerated in this district
AS before stated Dyer claims that
Medill is attempting to hold more than
l6O acres, and that he took only what
the latter could not legally hold and
had no wish to jump the claim. Med
i'll says that he has lived on his claim
continually and has taken up 160 acres
and no more.
After the explosion Dyer again began
to rebuild his wrecked cabin, upon
which party of twenty-three settlers
held meeting and proceeded in a
body to the place and ordered Dyer to
remove. They were not armed, but
were firm in their demands and said
plainly that they would tolerate no
claim jumping in that distrect. The
men in the party were representative
settlers from, Niagara to Breitenbush
A couple of gray y-haired settlers who
have lived up on the Santiam for years,
were spokesmen and told Dyer that
Medill had taken the claim IN good
faith and was living upon it with his
family and that they, as his neighbors,
proposed to prevent any and all en-
croachments from claim:jumpers.
Dyer agreed to 60, and left that
night.
Mr.. A. Vance and daughter of the
Summit passed through Corvallis

On Monday last VIM. Schnltz and

ROAD ExTENsIoN.-The Junction
City board of trade is agitating the
question of the extension of the west
side road from Corvallis to that city.
The Willamette Real Estate company
promises to give $4,000 toward this
end, and we have no doubt that the
Southern Pacific company will build
the road this year if offered sufficient
inducements. The Junction City
Times says of this subject: ''This Is a
matter in which every citizen should be
interested, aud If the proper effort is
made and all work in harmony and
each one do his whole duty, trains will
be running from the west side before
January lst next. There is no use in
consoling ourselves with the thought
that the road will be built anyhow, for
it will not 1t is true that the right
of way has already been purchased, but
the company don't have to build the
road unless that territory is threatened
by the invasion of another company.
A long pull and strong pull and a
pull altogether will bring it. Let us

Toast or bread and tea have much to an.
swer for in the next world, If not in this.
Two-thirds Of the drunkenness among
women is due to tbe excessive use of strong
tea. Twas told yesterday that the increase
of drunkenness among young servant girls
in New York was alarming, and in each
case found that the girls were in the habit
of keeping a teapot over the fire most of
the time. This creates form of stomach
trouble that produces 'hankering or
gnawing," the brain is excited and liquor
is taken to relieve this pain, and in a short
time seems almost necessary.
Do not for u moment think that would
not use either tea or bread, for should
with liberal supply of nutritious food.
But not alone to take the place of good
food, for they are inferior in food value.
In large cities the tea drinker is, as rule,
a woman, and it seems to do for her what
tobacco does for man-produces a strong
desire for alcohol This is question for
our temperance people to think over. It
has always been my opinion that if the
community would spend little more time
studying food principles, and teaching the
same to the Incorporate class, saloons
would soon close for want of support.
That tea and coffee excite and stimulate
the nervous system there is not doubt;
but many persons who would be shocked
at glass of whisky and soda before rising
in the morning see no disgrace in strong
tea, and still by it they are excited and
fustered in their manner. Tea in some,
possesses no drawback; but such are the
exceptions which prove the rule.-Table
Talk.

The Secret Ballot in the Coming Election.

The Secret Ballot in the Coming Election.
The fact that all the so called doubt
full" states, whose vote is decisive in the
election this year, are to cast their ballots
in absolute secrecy, free from all espionage
and intimidation, is one of momentous inn
portance. The first and inevitable effect
will be to lessen enormously the part
which money will play in the contest.
Every state in which money has hereto
fore been used most freely has adopted the
new system. If votes be bought in those
states hereafter the purchaser cannot fol
low the men whom they have bought to
the polls to see if they keep their bad bar
gain. The result will be the same in those
states as it has been everywhere else under
similar conditions-namely, very few votes
will be bought
This is a novel phase of presidential
canvass and election which both political
parties will do well to take into considera-
tion in selecting their campaign managers
for this year. If money is no longer to be
the controlling factor in the election, will
it be either expedient or wise to put pro-
fessional corruptionist in charge of the
campaign of either party? On the con-
trary, will it not be the highest political
wisdom to put men of character in charge
of all the committees, national, state, dis.
trict and other?-Century.

The dicovery in southern Oregon of a
new and peculiar deposit of ozokerite
has created considerable interest as in
dicating the possible opening up of an
other and valuable industry in that sec
tion, as has been the case with a similar
article within a few years in Utah,
where the deposit is now producing
about 100000 pounds a year. 1t is a
mineral wax which. in its refined form,
has nearly all the properties of beeswax
except sickness. Like other hydro.
carbon compounds, crude ozokerite is
used to considerable extent as an in
