He Never Came Back.

Adams has a sensation, and one
less population, says the East Ore
gonian The story is told by the
young wife, who is the most deeply
wronged by the transaction and
she cares not where her husband
may have gone. Mr.. and Mrs. G.
Halseli were married in Adams in
August of1892. Halsell came from
Missouri in 1891. The young
couple lived in Adams and all
seemingly went well. Last Sunday
young lady residing at Adams
visited the home Of the Halsell,
dined with them and after night
had begun to settle, started down
the railroad track alone. Mr. Hal
sell soon started in the same direc-
ton, in fact directly on the young
lady's trail and Mrs. Halsell was
suspicious. She in turnsstarted on
her husbands trail ana develop
ments followed which caused a
family rupture. Young Mrs. Hal
sell returned to town and herself
related what she had seen, making
no attempt to conceal the fact that
the facts were of a nature to crimi-
nate her husband. That individ-
ual concluded he was not wanted in
these parts any longer and
during the night left, in what
direction is. not known. Mrs. Hal
sell is left with young child about
one year old, but declares she has
mo desire to trace the whereabouts
Of her husband.

Farmers Read This.

The arrival early in the week of
a steamer from the Argentine Re-
public with a cargo Of 10000 BUSH
els of fiaxseed has brought TO light
some interesting facts. 1t seems
that quite a trade has been going
on in seed in the far-away country
for some time past, about 100000
bushels of the Argentine seed have
already been sold here. The seed,
although dirty, is reported to be of
good quality, and the price is equal
TO $1.28 per bushel, duty paid. IT
is interesting TO note that two years
ago America exported large guam
titles of haxseed. Now she is inn
porting.

Strange coincixfent.

Another illustration Of the abili-
ty Of newspaper men to do the
proper thing at the proper time was
afforded by the correspondents at
Washington in gretting the adj
journment Of congress by singing
praise God from whom all bless
ings fow." They started the good
old tune unconsciously, bat it took
like wild fire and congressman and
all took off their hats and Joined in
the singing, but when the law.giv-
ers saw the point they hung their
lower lips and made q bee line for
home.

You need a blood purifier. We
make this assertion with conf
dence, because it Is a fact that there
is scarcely one person in ten thous-
and whose blood is free from hum
ors, scrofula, acids, or some taint,
either hereditary or acquired.
Pimples, boils, blotches, eruptions,
are not the only Indications. De-
bility, lack Of energy, depression of
spirits, loss Of appetite, rheumatic
pains, poor sleep, headache, diz-
illness, specks floating before the
eyes, and many other symptoms
plainly indicate the need Of d
thorough cleansing Of the blood.
The longer you delay, the more diff
ficult will be to cure. The medi-
cine to take is Ayers Sarsaparilla,
and the time to begin is now. Con-
tinue to take it through March,
April and May, or until you feel
that health and strength are fully
restored, which will be when all
these painful and troublesome
symptoms are entirely removed.
The young, the old, the middle
aged alike need the potent but be-
nign influence Of Ayers Sarsapar-
lila, the best Of blood medicine.

To be- Sore.

The queerest bill that has yet
gone through the Washington leg
islature is the measure taxing mi-
gratory sheep, says the Spokane
Chronicle. For years the Oregon
herders have been driving their
flocks across the border every sum-
mer to pasture on the green grasses
Of Washington. Now the legisla-
ture has decided that these herd
ers may pay taxes or stay at
home. What would Washington
be without Oregon anyway?
