Nothing will kill all the energy and ambition
In either man or woman more effectively than

Is soon loaded with impurities The organs and

The whole system is poisoned. 1t shows its

Mr.. Thompson was for many years
one of the most highly respected citi-

county in the capacity of county clerk
for six years. from 1882 to 1888. He
was born in California about 20 years

On December u, 1881, Mr.. Thompson
was married to Miss Emma Condor,

city. and the result of this marriage
was one son, who is now u years of

A Pretty Sight.

The grand old Colum bia presented a
pretty sight Thursday. There was
not breath of air to ripple its placid
bosom: its current flowed steadily
though slowly toward the sea, carrying
large bodies of ice, apparent harbing-
ers of King Winter that had broken
losse from his domain above, and were
floating un to milder climes, forerun-
ners OF his coming, to prepare an abode
for the frigid tyrant. As one stood on
the bank of the mighty river of the
west and observed how quietly it car
ried its CONCEALED freight toward the
ocean, he could not but admire the
grandeurs OF nature, and speculate
upon what sights may he witness on
this great waterway in the future.
when all distractions to navigation
are removed, and ships and barges
will be as numerous upon the Columbia
as were those crafts of natures max
ing. Then even prettier sight will
be witnessed, it will be the result of
the haudiWork of man,

The O. n. G. Smoker.

The armory was filled Wednesday
with the brave boys in blue who COM
pose Co. G, o. N. G., ostensibly to
witness the exercises of guard mount
performed by the officers of the com
pany, but the smoker was by no means
the least attraction OF the evening.
When the drill bad been executed the
co npany was entertained by the nom
commissioned officers who served han
sandwiches and coffee, als1 tot acco
and pipes. After all had eaten and
smoked until that pastime ceased to
be pleasure. athletic sports were in-
dulged in, including tlg-of-war con.
test, in whiah the soldier boys dis
played a strength and power of en-
durance that would convince the most
skeptical tlat they are not only fitted
for active service in fighting, but
would be able aftes a victory was won
to attend to drawing all their captured
booty into their camp.

1t Is Welcome.

Under ordinary circumstances snow
is usually unwelcome, but the "beauti.
full" which covers the ground at this
time is received more as blessing
than o detrilnent. Although the
ground was thoroughly wet by the
recent rains, and no more moisture
was absolutely necessary, still fall
grain was unprotected from the freez-
ing weather, and this snow is just
what is needed to give it sufficient
protection. Besides sheep refused to
eat hay so long as the ground was bare,
and fockmasters say this snow will be
beneficial to them in that their focks
will take to dry feed more readily.
Eastern Oregon requires certain
amount OF snow each winter to insure
good grain crops and abundance of
grass on the ranges, hence there can
be no complaint entered against the
present storm, coming as it does so
late in the season.

The Campaign Opened.


The Republicans of this city have
taken the initiative in opening the
campaign of 1896, by holding meeting
of the, Mckinley Republican Club in
the counc chambers last night. The
meeting was presided over by Hon. f,
Menefee, president, and the proceed
ings recorded by Secretary H. H. Rid
dell. Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, the attendance was light,
though those who nere present re.
ported no lack of enthusiasm. The
principal business of the meeting was
to elect delegates to the convention of
Republican clubs to be held in Port
land on Feb. 4. The delegates elected
were B. F. Laughlin, j. NJ. Patterson,
p. W. Wilson, w. 81. Wilson and John
Michcll. The club adjourned to Feb.
9th. when the election Of officers will
be held.

Good Season Ahead For Miners.


Placer miners are jubilant over the
heavy fall OF snow in the mountains,
which insures an abundance of water
for next seasons operations. It is
said by those who have lately been in
the mountains that the present depth
OF snow is fully twice as deep a. at any
time during last season, and no doubt
more enow will fall before the winter
is over. During the past year large
amount of development work has been
done, and many valuable tracts Of
placer ground were put in condition
tor production, and if the present indi-
cations are realized next year will wit
ness a revival in placer mining that
will greatly increase the output OF
