The Little Heroine worthiIy Decorated.

Tic IIIIIt ItTOIHt NOIIHII9 UVVUI "'VU'
The French society of the Legion of
Honor has performed graceful and
praiseworthy act in decorating Jennie
Creek, ten-year-old country girl in In
diana, with a gold medal. One day last
summer this little miss discovered rail-
road trestle across a deep ravine to be on
fire, and knowing the Worlds Fair eX-
press to be due, she hastily tore off her
red petticoat and rushed down the track
with the huttering garment as danger
signl. A number of French passengers
were aboard the train. They called the
attention of the French Worlds Fair COM
missioner to the incident, and he in turn
laid it before President Carnot, who at
once ordered struck off a medal of the Lee
gion of Honor, given only in recognition
of acts of heroism.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
A Collar Button In His Throat Fifteen
Months.

Months.
John Kristen, Northampton florist, while
coughing few days ago suddenly expelled
qood-sized horn collar button. One morning
in February, 1898, while dressing, he held
the collar button between his teeth and in
drawing in his breath the button passed
into his throat 1t seemed to lodge in the
throat or windpipe. Since that time he
has been in feeble health and had cough,
which was supposed to indicate consump-
tion. and at times gave alarming symptoms.
His physicians examined his lungs short
time ago and were surprised to find that
thew were in good condition. There was,
however, apparently trouble in the throat
and an obstruction which prevented air
entering the right lung. He is now greatly
improved.

The opening paragraph Of the New
York Trlbune's leader on Mr.. carIisle's
bond proposition is cold, blue history,
and will bear reading several times:
"Thirty-three years ago the demo-
cratic party went out Of power borrow
ing money to meet treasury deficit
created by its Incompetence. Within a
year after its return to power, great
deficit created by It's Incompetence
again compels 1t to borrow. Further, II
is compelled to use for that necessity a
republican law enacted eighteen years
ago, which was for years denounced in
every democratic meeting at the West
and South as a shameless robbery of
the people for the benefit Of bondhold-
ers, and is forced to employ this same
old act because. as its chairman Of the
finance committee in the senate public
ly confesses, the democratic party.
through its factional divisions, is in
competent to pass any act for the re-
lief of the treasury or the defense Of
the public credit"

A letter from lady in Honolulu,

not yet ready to believe the whole of II

"our disappointment In Mr. Blount

do such biased and treacherous work"
These people know something of the
savagery there was in Hawaiian royal
wi but Blount did not ilnd it out. He
knew what Cleveland and Gresham

THE OPEN SWITCH.
AN EsTABLrSHED SAFEGUARD.

Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by "an open switch" 1t is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread Of the
traveller. Its victims-killed, horribly man.
gled or manned for life-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yet even the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask
II is Heart Disease! "But," you reply, con-
fidently, ~ haven't any heart disease-my
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
DIR. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases OF the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those OF
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsuspected. The reason peo
pie are not aware Of this important fact is
because symptoms Of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but arc attributed TO some other
source. II you have shortnoss of breath,
1utterng or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart is affected.
III had been troubled with heart disease
for years. My left pulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear Of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours, Dr. Miles, Nervins and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
ofany benefit aud cured mel. M. DYER

this comparison; Much has been said
In your paper about the proportion of
the state tax Multnomah will have to
pay. Multnomah pays only a little
more than five times as much as Ma

of Multnomah is not more than Ave
times as much as Marion? Multnomah
pays only a little more than seven
times as much as Linn. and only a

as Lane. From these comparisons 1t
can be seen that Multnomah is not as

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Persons who find entertainment in studying the powers of the human voice will have rich material for the exercise of their fad this week at the Wonderland, where the great Stuart will hold forth all the week. Stuart has a most marvellous voice, which is attuned to the finest degree of cultiva- tion, and it is conceded everywhere to be the nearest approach to Mime. Paths that voice culturists have dis covered. Of great range and power, and trained to an iexquisitely fine de- gree, Stuart can pour forth notes full and rich as a church organs, and yet sweet and delicate as flutes, making the most marvelously harmonious and musical combination of sound heard by mortal ear. The dresses, too, which Stuart wears are dreams of modiste's s skill, and prove constant delight to the ladies. Other artists who will as- sist Stuart are Staley and Birbeck, Fish and Quigg, Mackin and Edwards, Ger tie and Gilson, the Powers family, FL doran and Norine, Mclean and Hall and others, making up a bill that is re- freshingly varied and pleasing to the most critical of those that visit the Wonderland.
