here last week and has, we understand,
about forty members. The object is to dis
cuss tariff questions, disseminate literary
matter bearing on the same, and generally
to advance the interest of the Democracy.
The officers are e. G. Roberts, president;
Lou Morse, vice-president; e. I. Prather,
secretary; J B. Rand, treasurer.
Exchange: How dear to the heart is the
yellow backed pumpkin, when orchards are
barren, for stuthng for pies; when peaches
and apples have both been q failnre, and
berries of no kind have greeted the eyes.
How fondly we turn TO the fruit OF the
cornfield, the fruit that our children are
taught to despise-the old yellow pumpkin,
the Undiscovered pumpkin, the big bellied
pumpkin that makes such good pics.

door at the K. Of P. hall, and seeing that 1t
was going to hit him, called ''look out. !"

the snow ball in his right eye. It was a
severe blow and fer a while there seemed a
strong probability of the eye being de.
stroyed, but fortunately this did not hap
pen.

Union. Journal: Thursday afternoon an
other county prisoner took French leave
and left Guard George Crawford in deep
mourning. This latest betrayer of the
guards confidence was vagrant "Happy
jack" an incorugible hummer, who had
about two months sentence to serve.
"Happy Jack" was out in the court yard
with the rest of the prisoners and gradually
sneaked out of sight, until he had gotten
out of the enclosure and had placed the
hall of records between himself and the
guard, and then making dash for liberty,
he flung back the parting shout: Good
bye, George, I'll have to leave youl' and he
was gone. Guard Crawford was SO aston
ished that he could not even yell, but when
he recovered his balance howl went forth
that withered the foliage on the evergreen
trees.
The Kelley Institute has been removed
to Forest Grove, Oregon, from Portland.
They make the following claim: By the use
of the double Chloride of Gold remedies,
discovered aud perfected by DR.. Leslie e.
Kelley, of Dwight, LII we completely and
permanently cure all cases of Liquor,
Opium, Morphine, Cocaine or Tobacco hab-
its; also Neurasthenia, or nerve exhaustion,
from which many pers ons, ladies especially.
are great sufferers. The cure of liquor or
opium cases is affected by means OF thor.
ough course of medication, continuing three
weeks, taken at the Institute under the
direct care of our physicians, which results
in destroying the appetite for the noxious
drug, eradicating its effect from the system,
rebuilding the injured or destroyed nerve
tissues, and leaving the patient in a normal,
healthy condition, as though the deleterious
substance had never been nsed.
The work Of tunnelling five miles through
the main range of the Rocky mountains for
railway and wholesale gold and silver min
ing purposes, goes on day and night, and
this without state or government aid. More
than 5000 feet of the distance is already
driven and twenty-five veins of gold and
silver ore already crossed. The Denver,
Apex & Western Railroad to connect Dem
yer with Salt Lake City at saving of 25O
miles of distance by using this tunnel, has
agreed for its use for twenty years. and to
pay one dollar for each passenger and fifty
cents per ton for each ton of freight taken
through it. The large illustrated 22-page
pamphlet sent to all who send two cents
therefor to Mark NJ. Pomeroy, General
Manager, Room 46, Pulitzer Building, New
York City, is wonderfully interesting, in
structive and suggestive reading matter,
telling as it does what men are now doing
day and night, where they are working
more than 200G feet perpendicularly below
the surface of Mount Kelso. Nearly 5000
men, women and children are now fnan-
cially interested as owners of the Atlantic
Pacific Railway Tunnel and all the proper
ties of the company.
