met on the street. and during brief con-
versation Mr.. Topic remarked that pri-

Beven informed Mr.. Topic that he knew
nothing about it, that a private individual
could not sue the State.
When Bowen insinuated that Topic was
in error, the latter offered to bet he was
not. Before they could put up the stakes,

OUT OF HIS SKIN.
An Oregonian Who Says That He
Might Be in That Pre-
dieament.
He Proposes to Help in a Very Good
Work, and Has Good Reason
to Do So.

Some people in this world who are brimful
of happiness nave the faculty of keeping that
fact 10 themselves, as though they were afraid
tn at some of it might esca pc and they would
be little poorer on that account. But there
are sensible folks, though-enough TO make up
for these poor misers and one of these bright,
whole-souled men is Mr.. Z. w. Fowler of
KGmele, Or. Some time ago Mr.. Fowler, who,
as has been noted above, was celebrated on ac-
count of his good nature and his vivacity, be-
gan to droop little. His smile had not that
sunninesS nor his laugh that hearty ring as OF
yore Those who knew him began TO sympa-
thize with him, to tell him how sorry they
were to see him ''going down the HILL" and
hundred other equally dispirlting things.
And then they had Mr.. Fowler as good as
under ground. But they were reckoning with
out their host. They forgot that he was man
of good sense and knew where to look for help,
and they had neglected to remember that the
grand old Hudson Medical Institute was still
in existence, and that its corps OF great special
lists were daily, nay, hourly, working wonder
full cures. The following letter will show how
wrong these prophets were:
KAMELE. Or, August 8. 1895.

cisco, Cal.-Gentlemen: Please excuse my neBli-
gence in not writing you before. do not think

you for Your valuable treatment. can and will
distribute about hundred OF your circulars.
Yours gladly, +. w. FOWLER
You see, all the Joy has come back to that
mans heart-sll the life and hope And there
are many hundreds of hearts on this Coast that
are glad to-day, and all on account OF the
great skill of the specialists at the grand old
Hudson Medical Institute.
Mr.. George H. Bent OF Rochester, Cal, says:
"By the time have the medicine taken that

S. M. Hooker of Los Angeles: 81 now feel as
though was cured and well man."
Mr.. j. T. Ward of Park City, Utah: al am

Now, when there is a neYer-ending stream of
testimony like this continually pouring in to
the management of the great Hudson Medical
Institute (the grandest curative establishment
on this continent, if not in the WORLD how can
it be doubted but that there is HOPE FOR
EVERY ONE UNTIL THE FAMOUS SPECIAL

occasion be the lyric stage, the oratorio

He wants to hear more than he has
bargained for, and if his demand is not
yielded to he will hoot and bray ana
hiss when an attempt is made TO per

public would but think this matter over

distasteful to the great majority of
