THE TELEGRAM CAME.

A telegraph messenger hurried billward
early Monday morning. He almost trot-
ted and as the people he met gazed upon
the phenomenon, they realized that the
yellow envelope he bore in his hand en-.
closed words of mighty import, and their
hearts grew sick as they felt they might
needs wait till Papes paper came out be-.
fore they would know that telegram's con-
tents. The messenger was lost to view and
for few minutes all was still Suddenly
a streak of red was observed heeting from
the suburbs of town down till it entered a
house on Fifth and Monroe, and voice
was heard demanding Brady" A door
closed and the excitement grew. Later
groups OF young men were gathered on the
corner discussing the situation with pale
countenaRces but stern visages, while mes
sengers flew hither and thither. A team of
white horses attached to truck came
rattling down the streets, drove quickly
from house to house, gathering up trunks
and bedding, then quickly sped westward.

STEAMER DEL NORTE.

Receiver Clark of the o. 2. returned
from San Francisco today. While there an
effort was made to secure the release of the
steamship Willamette Valley which is
plastered with attachments aggregating over
$40, 900, but his efforts were futile. The
steamer Del Norte, however, has been
chartered to take the place of the William
ette for the present, at least, and will leave
San Francisco next Tuesday for Yaquina
with full cargo of freight for valley mer-
chants. The Del Norte is 600 ton steam
or and can be operated at considerable less
expense than the Willamette. A full cargo
of grain is now at Yaquina awaiting trans
portation to San Francisco.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion oftthe ear There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafnesss is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi.
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucuous surfaces. +
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured. by Halls Catarrh Cure

WHEN WAR IS DECLARED.

Against mans happiness by his stomach
the enemy may be pacifed and brought
speedily and easily to terms. That potent
regulator of digestion, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, disciplines the rebellious organ
thoroughly. Indigestion arises from weak
ness of the stomach and the food in it, for
want of the power to digest, decomposes
and acidifies, giving rise to heartburn, fatu-
lence and pain, besides multitude of
symptoms both changeful and perplexing.
But peace soon reigns when the great
stomachic is resorted to and used with per.
sistence. Dyspepsia gives rise to morbid
discomposure of mind, and even sleepless.
ness and hypochondria in chronic cases. To
the complete dismissal of these the Bitters
is fully adequate, Liver complaint, consti-
patton, debility rheumatism and malaria are
completely subdued by this genial medicine.
