There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton OF the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J::Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only costitution-
al cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
a teaspoon-full. It acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

The Art Pyeservative.

1t is now 45O years since the art
OF printing-that greatest boon to
mankind-was discovered. Printing
.TevOlutionized the world. It did
what neither Church nor State had
done-it graually educated the mass
es, made men more liberal, and
paved the way to freedom and it's
natural results. What. thing of hui
man origin has done more? Were
it not for printing, where would the
world be to-day? You would not
know what tie world is doing, and
we should not be able to adopt this
means of.telling you that the best
line to take when going to and fro
between Duluth, Vest Superior and
the Twin Cities and other points,
is the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad,
commonly known as "The Duluth
Short Line" Excellent equipment.
speedy trains, smooth rails, conven-
lent schedules and close connections
have ever made It popular with all.

The 18th congressional district is
admitted to be safe for the peoples
party by everybody. 1t consists OF
that part of the old 9Th district
which really elected Kittle Halvorsen
two years ago, and was parceled by
itself with view to gaining re-
publican member in the 9th, to pair
with the THU ID party member which
was sure to be elected in the Seventh.
However this scheme may prove
abortive, for, by late reports, it
seems that the Sixth district is AL
ready somewhat doubtful and before
election day rolls around it may be a
rousing third party district. Judg-
ing from reports OF all parties, and
in all papers, Minnesota is very likely
to send five new party men to the
next congress, out of seven. Put a
peoples party governor and a reform
senator in with the list and we will
have it as it will be.-Traverse Co.

THE CARRIAGE Co.'S EXHIBIT
The Corvallis carriage company has
just put the finishing touches to lot
of bug3les, hacks and other vehicles,
twelve in number, which are to be ex-
hibited at the state fair. VIM. Creese
will have charge of the exhibit. They
also have ten rigs in course of con-
struction for display at the Portland
exposition, their display here being
limited on account of confined space
These exhibits will be great surprise
to many Of the people of our state who
will not be prepared to see such fine
goods turned out of our home factory.
The finish is equal to that of any east
ern goods, and superior to most of it,
while there can be but one opinion
concerning Tie material and work man
ship-it is the best possible to procure.
The people OF the state will certainly
take an interest in this, as it is a
strictly home industry and proves that
Oregon can not only equal the pro-
dHctions of eastern states, but can sur
pass them.

The PUGILIsTIc MILL.-New o.
leans for the past week has been a
scene~o of excitement and rampant pu-
gilism. and three bruisers are being
coddled and feasted while another trio
are trying to explain to their hackers
how it all happened. On Monday
night at the Olympic club house the
first of the series took place between
McAulitfe and Meyer, for the light
weight championship, and after ii
spirited b title the latter was knocked
out in the fifteenth round. On Tues
day evening the second battle of the
series took place between Skelly, of
Brooklyn, and Dixon, the colored
bantam of Boston, Dixon winning in
the eighth round. On Wednesday
evening the grand event of the entire
series, the mill between Sullivan and
Corbett occurred, and in the twenty
first round the great Boston champion
was knocked completely out. 1t was
a great surprise party to many, yet the
most of the Pacific coast sports antici-
pated such result.

Messrs. Grant & Wells were the
losers in a rather ludicrous manner of
a forty-pound package of candy last
week. 1t appears that two little glrls
were in the store and Mr. Grant in a
sudden burst of (well, it must have
been unpremeditated) generosity, told
them that if they could carry the candy
which was in a large wooden pail
home, they might have it. The young
sters took him at his word and at once
proceeded to make off with the load Of
sweets, and actually succeeded in get
ting home with it, where we
presume they instituted small
careusal.

Of his name to the national Democratic con

Hon. Edward S. Bragg:
MI DEAR SIR-Your letter of the 9TH inst, is
received. l have thought until now that
might continue silent on the subject which,
undor the high sanction Of your position as my
fellow Democrat and fellow citizen and in
your relation as a true and trusted friend, you
present to me. II In answering your questions
might only consider my personal desires and
my individual case and comfort, my response
would be promptly made and without the least
reservation or difficulty,
But If you are right in supposing that the
subject is related to a duty l owe to the coun
Wy and to my party, a condition exists which
makes such private and personal considerations
entirely irrelevant cannot, however, refrain
from declaring to you that my experience in
mo great office of president Of the United
Of the trust and its awful responsibilities that
cannot bring myself to regard a candidacy fol
the place as something to be won by personal
gtFife and active self assertion.
have also an idea that the presidency Is pre-
sminently the peoples office, and have beer
sincere IN my constant advocacy Of the effect
i've participation in political affairs on the part
Of all our citizens. Consequently, believe the
people should bo heard in the choice Of theii
party candidates, and that they themselve!
should make nominations as directly as is con
sistent with open, fair and full party organiza
Non and methods.
Ispeak Of these things solely for the purpose
sf advising you that my conception Of the ma
ture Of the presidential office, and my convic
ton that the voters Of our party should be fre'
IN the selection of their candidates, preclude
the possibility Of my leading and pushing sell
seeking canvass for the presidential nomina
ton, even if had a desire TO be again a candi
date.
Believing that tho complete supremacy o
Democratic principles means increased nationa
prosperity and the increased happiness of oul
people, am earnestly anxious for the success
Of my party, I am confident that success i
Sal within our reach, but l believe this is
time for Democratic thoughtfulness and delhi

Fearful Abuses Alleged at tho Adiron-
= daok Railroad Construction Camp.
Troy, N. Y, March 17.-John Kelly, of
Brooklyn, and James Lee, William McCar-
thy and Michael Kelly, of Bergen Point,
N. j., men employed to work on the Adir-
ondack railroad, reached here having fed
from the construction camp. To repre-
sentative Of the United Press they told a
story of outrage and suffering in the camp
which corroborates previous charges of a
like nature. They say one man who tried
to escape from the contractors was frozen
to death in the woods, and another was
beaten with a club and left TO die on the
road. They charge that negro women hired
as cooks are sold to men in camp for i'm
moral use, and that laborers are robbed Of
their wages and prevented from leaving the
camps by guards armed with Winchester
rifles.
One of the men, who worked forty-four
days, says when he asked for a settlement
his boss brought him out IS. 20 in debt to the
contractors, and another who worked two
months was told he had but 81 coming to
him. Most exorbitant prices are charged
for the most common articles, and system
of slavery and terrorism prevails
