PRESIDENT BLoss AT SALEM.

Mayor Catch then stepped forward and
presented the orator of the day, Hon. j. M.
Bloss, ex-president of the Oregon State Ag-
ricultural College at Corvallis, a gentleman
of fine attainments and scholarly presence.
Mr.. Bloss was original euough to depart
from the hackneyed platitudes of cheap
"Fourth Of July" oratory, and took for his
theme the superb contributions Of American
womanhood to the glories of the nation. He
paid ample tribute to the achievements of
the. nations great men, soldiers and states
men, but claimed modicum of itall for tho
mothers Of those men. He dwelt with pa
triotic fervor OIL the consecutive steps OF pro-
gress through which America has risen from
a condition Of colonial dependency to the
magnificent level Of the dominating nation
of the earth, and urged the transcendeDt ex-
amples of its leaders, men and women, upon
the .syoung Americans" before him, but no.
where in his interesting story of American
successes or his discussion Of American des-
tiny did not forget to honor the women OF
the land.
The distinguished speaker. as became a
college professor and president, was happily
partial to the tremendous part played by
popular education in all this panoply Of pow
or and pride and achievement, and he showed
oonclusively that American schools had, and
, would continue to bear largely and with po-
tent results upon the grand future ofthis, the
most advanced race on the globe.
The address was most enjoyable and the
speaker was repeatedly interrupted by ring
ing applause.-Statesman.

For your Protection "Cu1e'' or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Todide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if long taken. CataTh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold Or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits Of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
Inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

state on the 23d, and were extremely
beneficial to young clover, which it was
feared had been badly injured by the
dry weather of the first of the month.
Again on the 25th rains were general
over the state and heavy, especially in
the southern portion. This rain was
very beneficial to corn and pastures, as
the temperature remained high both
during the rain and after, and while the
fall was heavy in some localities it is
not thought that any damage has been
done to grain in the shock. Harvest
ing is about completed in the southern
counties and some threshing has been
sections the work of harvesting is being
pushed and in some sections harvesters
are run night and day in order to cut
the grain before it is taken by the army
worms, which are doing considerable
damage in many parts OF the state.
Corn continues to make excellent prog
ress and is reported in very hardy con-
dition. Oats are not as good as there
was reason to expect earlier in the sea-
son, as they have been damaged both
by rust and insects, but not seriously,
and the yield will still be good. Buck
wheat promises a fair crop. Potatoes
are very good in most sections of the
state. although there is some complaint
as to the quality. Fruit promises we'll,
especially in the southern section.
Cranberries are reported as growing
finely, with prospects of a good crop.
Tobacco is doing well. Reports of
ravages of the army worm continue to
come in; over IS per cent. of CORES

vicinity from this cause. They have

Gus in Door, kewaunee, ManitoWoc and
Sheboygan counties in the east, Wal
worth and parts of Racine county in
the south, and Vernon, La Crosse and
Jackson counties in the west. In these
counties the damage has been serious,
but in other portions of the state it is
stated as comparatively slight, though
the worms are generally reported as
increasing in numbers. The greatest
damage has been done to late oats, but
corn is being attacked in some localities.
Taking the State as whole the percen-
tage of damage is not great, but in
localities where they have appeared
whole fields have been completely
ruined and individual farmers have
suffered serious loss.

TERSELY TOLD.
(By E. r. Petherick.)

The Weaknesses of youth become
faults in middle life and blights in old
age.
The primary object of q labor-saving
machine is to get more work out of the
human being who runs 1t.
When a mother runs the family the
children seldom disgrace it.
Nothing that shuns the light can be
trusted in the dark.
One of the first signs of dotage is the
entertaining of an idea that no one else
can do our work.
The only thing that really interests
the average hired man is some part of
the business that he is not paid for at
tending to.
Men look lightly on those of their
sins which they have never been caught
practicing.
There is but little value to knowledge
that is not backed by industry.
Girls will do well to remember that
the young man who will deceive his
mother would be apt to do worse by his
wife.
People who need law to make them
either good, wise or prosperous are
among the mistakes of nature.
Some men are so weak that they can
not even make success of playing the
fool.
1t is human nature to try and ride on
another persons wagon.
