ALI Who Wish Can Now Get No. One
of Famous Paintings.

America Photographed, No. 2, Proves To
Be Popular Number-Both Series Are
Having Great Sale.
We are now able to supply No. l of
''Famous Paintings of the World'' to all
who desire it. The demand for this pop
ular portfolio was SO great from the
start that the first supply was quickly
exhausted, and not until yesterday noon
were we able to say yes to the numerous
inquiries whether new supply had been
received. 1t is no wonder that this pub
LEGATION is meeting with an enthusiastic
reception in Portland, as we think we
voice the opinion of all who have secured
it that it is a fine work of art. The re-
productions are, mechanically, nearly
perfect, and the fact that the series is
conducted by such men as Lew Wallace,
Will Carlton, John Clark Ridpath, Ange-
10 Del Nero, Horace Bradley, and George
Spiel, is an assurance that the selection
is judicious and the descriptions just
what they should be. No such portfo-
lilo has ever been offered to the public
before, and we think we may be par
doned for congratulating our readers
that we were able to secure it for them.
The large demand for No. shows that
the excellence of the work is appreciated
and we are glad to announce that we
have now a supply on hand sufficient to
meet all demands for some time to come.
We shall announce when No. is ready,
but it will not be for several days.
Number two of America Photo
graphed' contains a variety of American
scenery that is decidedly pleasing. Com
paratively few people know that in Mex
leo is fall of water almost Niagara in
miniature, but in this portfolio is given
view of the Fall of Juanacatlan,
which strikes the observer at once as a
very close resemblance to that mighty
cataract. Ute Pass, DEVILS Slide and
Dome Rock show some of the mighty
works of nature and the double page
view of the four mile steel bridge over
the Ohio river, and the Sault Ste. Marie
canal, some OF the great works of man.
The publishers of this series have let us
into secret concerning surprise they
have in store for their patrons in an early
number and we can promise our readers
a rare treat. We will not spoil the sur
prise by divulging the secret, but we
know that what they have planned will
be received with great favor by those who
are taking the series. America" is
having large sale, and we figured right
ly when we thought that our own coun-
try would furnish series of more in
tense interest than any on the face of The
earth. A good supply of numbers one
and two are in stock.
The interest in "Holy Land Photo.
graphed'' continues, and the first three
parts are in steady demand. Part four
is expected daily.

Extraordinary CIairvoyant Powers Cred
tied to New York Physician.
There is doctor in New York city VIII,
has strange method of diagnosing dis
ease. He is attaining quite a practic
among Pittsburgers on account of tn
wonderful cures he has effected. This
physician, who is patronized by many
the most wealthy families of the metrop
oils, claims to have such extraordinary
ciairvoyant powers that he can see the in
ternal organisms of the body, each par.
performing its functions just as if it wer

not assign his power to the supernatural
or the spirit world, but claims that hi.
strange gift is merely an exceptional fore,

When patient enters his study for con

thorough diagnosis of the trouble, locat

was asked to give the philosophy of his
system of curing, inasmuch as he con.
tends that the power is entirely within
natural laws, but was unable to give tht
least bit of information upon the subject
except the fact just stated.
He told friend of mine that he frs,
discovered the power in treating his broth
er when he became ill. The power was 8
revelation to him, as the idea of being able
to see through solid substances had always
seemed to him preposterous.
Some time after he began to practice he
was prosecuted by the regular physicians
OF New York, but the judge after hearing
the testimony OF number of we'll know
actors, bankers and business men, coulo
find no evidence that the defendant hao
ever done any harm and so discharged him
with the warning that if he ever appeared

would have to be melted out. To AVOID
such contingency the doctor proceeded o

Maple River Farmers Club.


The Maple River Farmers Club held its
last meeting at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. @. Moore. The meeting was opened
with an instrumental duet, organ and violin,
by Miss Minnie and Henry Moore. After
the regular routine OF business the club adj
journed for dinner, and such a dinner! 1t
had to be eaten to be appreciated. both of
which were successfully accomplished.
After dinner the club was again called to
order The first topic for gentlemen was
the "Origin and History of Money" TO be
presented by NJ. Seeley. Mr.. Seeley being
absent the subject WAS put over for next
pmeeting. Topic No 2. "a sketch of Mus

Mr.. Cook gave us fine paper on bats. He
thinks bats are the most complex and the
most useful OF mammals. That they have
six senses and are found in dark places.
They are incorporate and will play possum.

read the works of the best writers and waste
no precious moments in idle reading. We
then listened to more music by quartette.

The Senatorshlp.

When q man once gets elected TO Congress
the capitol at Washington-he becomes a
changed man. No matter in what capacity,
the longing still fingers to again walk the
corridors, mingle with those great men and
listen to their utterances. Men have been
elected to Congress who were in their youth
messenger boys in the House or Senate,
which somehow reminds me that
"Honor and worth from no condition rise
Act well your part; there all the honor lies"
The unfortunate thing however connected
with this matter is the fact that once in
Congress every individual son of sorrow
full mother begins TO plan how he can man
age to succeed himself, and it is painful
truth that the public interest is often sac
rifced for personal ends. This isn't con-
fined to party lines by any sort of means,
but every single stone Is turned to make them
solid with their constituency at whatever
cost save to the individual Look at the
bill for free delivery of mails through
the country" which was introduced by a
congressman from this state last session,
right in the face and eyes of the fact that
the postal department is hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in arrears. What possible
object could a man have for introducing
such bill-which never came to the sur
face only for personal agIandizement. He
got shelved at the nominating convention
this fall without even chance at the voters.
This is only an example of what men
once in position will do to further their
own interests regardless Of the public veal.
And the thing stands out so prominently
that il is refreshing to notice once in while
a congressman who takes straight for
ward course, never deyiating from his sense
of duty to his country as whole and not
solely and only catering 70 the men
who are most likely to return him at the
expiration of bis term. Such men do exist,
believe; men who scorn an act of venaity
in any form from subsidizing the press TO
placing money in the hands of men where
1t will do the most good. There are set of
politicians--sO called-who travel on the
strength of support received from the hands
of office seekers. Wehave them right here
in this county aud as fast as they can be
located 1t is the duty of every honest repub-
lican to sit down on them and do it bard
enough to destroy their influence whatever
that may be.
