TESTIMONIAL EVIDENCE.
Wonderful Proof OF Cures That Are Be-
ing Performed in Boise by DR.. Darin.

There can be no doubt nor question OF
the curative powers Of electricity,
judging from the extraordinary cases
Of cure performed bv DIR. Darrin. The
great advantage of electromagnetic
treatment is that il brings relief in a
large number OF cases confessedly be-
yond the reach OF the ordinary remedies
OF the physicians, and DR.. Darrin has
enforced a belief in the curative pow
ers OF electricity upon the public by his
remarkable cures.
1t is with pleasure we print the fol-
lowing card, coming as II does from
Mr.. Newton. He is so well known in
Baker City his word cannot be contro-
verted. Ii seems that the uses to which
electricity is being applied is not alone
confined to the arts, but is distined to
do what medical and surgical skill has
failed to accomplish;
Mr.. Editor: Sir: For eight years
prior to calling on DIR. Darrin | had
been totally deaf in my right ear. DR..

life. can hear clock tick across the

was performed January 9th. most

TWO HOLIDAYS.
Two Little Relation Maintained Between
May 80 and July 4.

Two Little Relation Maintained Between
May 80 and July 4.
There is far too little relation main
tanned between independence Day and
Memorial Day. One is the natural Sc
quence Of the other, and the celebra-
ton of both should be observed with
due solemnity as well as with comely
and becoming rejoicing. A sacred SER
vice to begin the day, a service OF
thanksgiving, Of grand and appropriate
music, then with the congregation pour
ing out into the highways and byways
Of the earth, the spirit Of peace and
goodwill might be merged into a feel
ing Of joyousness and giving way to
all forms of hilarious sport and inno-
cent amusement. We have In one OF
these days honored our forefathers
through whose wise and determined eff
forts the country was established, and
in the other we have remembered those
who rescued us from danger and saved
us for a great and glorious future.
These days are the red-letter days in
the American calendar-impressive be-
cause they are reminders Of great strug-
giles, because they made our present
condition of existence possible; happy
because we know by them, and what
they typify, that the spirit Of patriot
ism, self-sacrifice and the great and all
comprehensive spirit of divinity that
was originally planted in the hearts OF
men has neither been dimmed nor ex-
tinguished. 1t has only slumbered and
smoldered; the living fire Is there, and
needs but the breath Of treason or the
slightest blow from an assaulting hand
to bring 1t full-grown to it's feet, stall
wart young giant able to cope with any
adversary that threatens the life and
the union of the states.

AT TIE SOLDIERS GRAVES.


To deck anew the turf that rests
Above our patriot comrades breasts.
II.
Roses and lilies, all are fair,
With bays to grace each soldiers
grave,
But they grow fairer resting there,
II, with the odorous blooms we gave,
A love as strong and sanctified,
As theirs who for our Union died.
III.
When on the battle field they fell,
It was not in a sordid cause,
But in their Countrys, loved so well,
For her dear Homes and Freedoms
laws,
And so, at need, their love was shown
To save her life they gave their own.
Nv.
o, that was love of precious worth,
Allied to love that is divine!
From Heaven alone it came to Earth,
In human hearts to live and shine,
And fill them with the high desires,
That light and foster Freedoms fires.
v.
How we'll it is with them who sleep
About us here-old friends Of ours!
Comrades, for them we do not weep,
But on their graves place Mays sweet
flowers,
While brave "Old Glory" floats above,
Proud Of their deeds-proud of their
love!
vi.
And in this Home of Liberty
Her birthplace and most sacred
spot
Her loving children, happy, free,
Come forth from mansion and from
cot,
With fragrant blossoms of the May,
To help us keep Memorial Day.
VII.
And they and theirs in time will stand
Beside our graves and here relate
How we had fought to save the land.
Now grown SO powerful and great,
That Kings and Cars beyond the sea,
Quake at the name Of Liberty.
VIII.
We know not, Comrades, what's
ahead
If for our land waits good or i'll.
But not till faith in God Is dead,
Shall evil trifle with the will
That nerved our brothers arms to
fight,
And win for Freedom, Truth and
Right.
So here, among the memories.
That round these graves responsive
start,
Let us anew the moment seize,
And pledge again each Union heart
Shall be, though helpless else to do,
To Flag and Country always true!

A TRILBY LEGISLATURE.

TriIby was not altogether bad mol
good woman. And the last legisla'
ture was something like Trilby. II
passed only about l4O pages of general
laws. Leaving out the local acts, not
a dozen new legislative acts became
laws, This Is not a dlscredit to the leg
islature. 1t not only passed but few
bad laws but IL passed very few al
together, Most Of the long acts
passed weremere re-enactments.For in
stance the fish and game laws. the ira
CATION law, the horticultural act, the
military code, phar macy act, the
building and loan association law,
the soldiers home act, the county sal
ary bill, the medical law, were mere
amended re -enactments. The East
ern Oregon Asylum act was tied up IN
the courts and was merely re-enacted
rs a matter Of form without a dissent
ing vote, No such bin as the school
book trust BILL the electric light con-
tract bill, or any jobbery legislation,
got through, unless it was in the gen.
eral appropriation bill All legisla-
tion Of positively questionable char
acter was defeated by the deadlock.
Aodeadlock could occur oftener and
do less harm than some sessions with
out deadlock. While it does not
pose for a perfect model in the "al-
together" rs Trllby did, il was some
hing Of a Trilby legislature.
