money enough. this fellow goes along
and pints out fax as know is fax about
coal ard iron that there amt no git
ting around. / knows what it cost to
get out cCal and iron and I'm putty well
up on the cost OF maxim pig iron cause
I've been about the mines and furnaces
wOrkln' between crops off and on now
fur going on fifteen years and / know
that unless they can git certain price
fer their stuff they cant run. That
radical editor last week had the fol.
lowing piece in his aper. He said:
Every man must know that the consum-
ers Of our country furnish a market for
what the farmer has to sell For instance
there are 500 hands in the mines, workshop
and furnaces here who earn an average Of
dollar day. At least two-thlrds have
families Of from three TO five each and
they must live They produce nothing 10
sustain life, depending upon the farmers
to furnish such food as they may need
Our home market Is good and furnishes
the farmers OF this vicinity IA ready sale
for their surplus produce Mt a fair price.
suppose this market were shut of and the
capitalists to discharge the labor? They
must then become producers themselves or
move to other places Our people cannot
AFFORD to have the duties on coal and iron
disturbed.
Now how can l, although I'm a good
Democrat Is ever liv, d, my father be-
ing one tefore me. how can | get
around that? Its fax. Tn re amt

can wash thst out. There ca it be no
g tin around 1t by our political s, and
Ill be blamed if can how our Con
gressman is going to explain to my
satisfaction why he wanted to put us
on the free list.
Now it don't make no differences as
can see about CELLARS and cuts AMI
sugar and so forth. We've all got to
have sugar, and nobody but town doods
wares collars and cuffs but this here
iro and coal business gives rk to

works do shut down its goin to lie
Katy bar de door with lots OF u, folks
| can tell you. Now for the furst
ten or twelve years after them works
started and the mines was opened it
didn't seem like they could git enough
hands. And as fur money why don't
reckon thay ever missed psyin off

Deafness Can Not hs curea

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rnmbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be-
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

prominent physician of this

mer of Benton county, had
under rather suspicious Giro
stances for California, is bran
by the Corvallis public gener
as lie, which probably had its
igin in the fertile brain of 81
sensation loving individual
sought this means of injuring
persons involved. The article
frajns from mentioning nan
probably for fear of a libel s
but enough is said to indicate Il
the persons referred to were DR.
M. Applewhite and Mrs. Char
Kenyon. Few men in Bent
county are more respected al
stand higher In the estimation
the public than Or. Applewhi
and within his large circle
friends the story is given little
no credence. True, he left +
California last week In hopes
benefiting his health and pri0/
his departure had waited upt
Mrs. Kenyon professionally f
some months. 1t is also true tn
she has left Albany, where 81
was recently stopping, and at pre-
ent her whereabouts appear to
unknown, but is this sufficient e
idence on which to accuse a perst
of such a crime? The GAzET
thinks not and believes that Il
doctor will return immediate
upon learning of the accusation
made against him and his nan
and character will be complete
vipdicated. Let us wait for tim
at least, before pronouncing Sc
tence.
