Dan Cameron Of Shutter FIAT, who

came back a few days ago thoroughly
disgusted with the Whole Willamette

says that, although times are dull here,
Il is ten times worse in the valley and
every other place he visited. He is nov
satisfied that no better country can

will be glad to learn. This oaght to

ACCOUNTABLE AND DANGEROUS.

writer says gentleman fond of good CT
CARS says in the New York Times: GA promi
nent physician told me lately, that from the
practice of cigar-makers wetting the wrapper
with their saliva and biting the end of the CT
gar into shape, spread of syphilitic diseases
was taking place; that he knew of several
cases. Somewhat alarmed, | managed to visit
a number of factories. Two-thirds of the CT
gar-makers, | found, daub the whole end of the
cigar with saliva. Thinking that the Gu
ban workmen might not do it, | visited
places where they are employed, and found
that not only did they use their saliva to
make the wrapper stick, but that most of them
before wrapping bit the end of the cigar into
shape with their teeth. AS the physician in
forms Inc that many of the cigar-makers have
sore mouths from disease, it is a dangerous s
habit.
In New York great numbers of cigars are
made in cheap tenement houses. In one small
room the poor cigar-maker and his family live,
sleep and work The leaf tobacco is spread
and moistened OH the filthy floor, walked OH by
the women, children, cats aud dogs. Then it
is made into cigars. These are finely perfum-
ed, given popular Spanish Brand and sold at
extravagant prices as first-class luxury. Those
who chew fne-cut occasional find i'll it old dried
ouids which have been worn out by some care
less or covetous chewer. Some kinds OF sinok-
ing tobacco are made wholly or in part OF re-
fuse tobacco guilds and stumps of cigars which
have been gathered by children from sidewalks,
cutters and spittoons. Cigarettes are also
made of this tobacco garbage, tobacco stems,
opium and paper containing large percentage
of arsenic or other deadly poison. In San
Francisco hundreds of boys are breaking out
about the mouth with leprosy from smoking
cigarettes made by Chinese lepers. Smoking
is most injurious to the young; often its worst
effects do not appear till late in life. Smoking
produces dyspepsia, diseases of the liver, pale
ness, salowness, weakness, inability to procre-
alton, Incidence, paralysis, congestion OF the
brain, blindness, cancer of the mouth, tongue
and lips, and early death. DR.. Pidduck says:
In no instance is the sin of the father more
strikngly visited upon the children than i'll the
sin of tobacco smoking; the enervation, the
hysteria, the insanity the dwarfish deforinties,
the consumption, the suffering lives early deaths
of the children of inveterate smokers bears
ample testimony to the feebleness and unsound-
ness of the constitution transmitted by this
pernicious habit"

"THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. ~

That was the subject of an address delivered
by Ex-Governor ST. John, Thursday evening,
TO large audience in the Congregational
church at Olathe. The house was crowded to
It's utmost capacity, although the meeting had
scarcely been advertised at all, and the audi

to one OF the best speeches Mr.. St. John ever
deiivered: we wish we could published the

Once more, one of our comrades has been
detailed by our King and Commandments Chief
to come up higher and serve in the armies of
Heaven When our roll is called, the name of
VIM. Douglass will be missing. He died Feb.
Z, 1896, and was buried Feb. S, 1896, in the
Garnet cemetery according to the service of
the Grand Army of the Republic.
One by one the leaves fall, whitening the
ground One by one the members of the
Grand Army pass from time to eternity The
death roll of the old comrades is increasing in
geometrical progression Soon the last ole
soldier will be mustered out and the Grand
Army will be relict of the past.
Comrade Douglass, as soldier, was brave,
courageous and faithful loyal as a citizen and
kind as a neighbor We deeply mourn his
death, and as token of respect, we ask that
a copy of these esolutions be spread on the
minutes of the pc. t, and copy suitably deco
rated with embems of mourning be presented
to the family of our deceased comrade.

without any discredit to the government, and
certainly it would be in the interest of the peo-
pie; and the cry set by the gold-bugs, that the
greenbacks must be redeemed in gold in order
to maintain the credit of the government, is as
false and rotten as all the other theories set up
by that ignoble band of despoilers The very
reverse of such theory will follow, for, if the
government goes on issuing gold bonds with
out way to raise gold the magnitude of our
debt will discredit our national bonds till they
will not sell in the open markets of the world
at any price.
Now, if congress, presidents and secretaries
of the treasury can go on in the bond-issuing
business, it is time to haul down cold Glory"

about time the people were coming to some de-

acting in conjunction with American traitors,
can load the people with debt in TING of peace,
and without excuse, we ought to know it at
once; and if we are going to rebel against
bond slavery, let lis rebel at once, and fight it
out to the bitter end. This is no time for COM

grievances than are being inflicted on America

be called Americans if we did not enter our
protest and use all our influence to correct

MY LOVING CHILD.

I've wandered far away, my child
Far from my happy home
And left the land that gave me birth,
In other chimes to roam;
And Time since then has rolled his years,
And marked them OH my brow,
But yet, think of thee, my child
I'm thinking of thee now
| am thinking of the time, my child,
When, with such anxious care,
You lifted up your heart to heaven,
Your hope, your trust, was there.
Fond memory brings the parting glance,
While tears roll down my cheek;
The last long, loving look told more
Than ever words can speak.
When by thee, gently, my child,
You watched my dawning youth,
And kissed me in your pride, my child,
And told me the word of truth,
Then brightly was my soul lit up
With thoughts of future Joy,
While your bright fancy garland wove
To deck my darling child.
| would not have thee know, my child,
How brightest hopes decay;
The drunkard, with his painful cup,
Has dashed them all away;
And Shame has left his venom sting
To rack with anguish wild,
Yet, STILL would not have thee know
My sorrowful heart, my child
l am lonely and forsaken tonight, my child
No friend is near me now
To soothe me with a tender word,
Or cool my burning brow.
The dearest ties affections wove
Now are all Torn from me.
They left me when my trouble came.
They did not love like thee.
l know you would not chide, my child
You would not give me blame,
But soothe me with tender work
And bid me hope again.
I'm lonely and forsaken, my child,
Unpitied and unblessed;
Yet still, would not have thee know
How sorely I'm distressed.
I've wandered far away, my child,
Since I've deserted thee,
And left thy troubled heart to break,
Beyond the deep blue sea.
Yet, my child, still love thee well;
long to hear thee speak
And feel again thy balmy breath
Uron the careworn cheek.
But, all there is thought, my child,
Pervades my beating breast,
That thy freed spirit may have flown
To its eternal rest;
And, as I wipe the tears away,
There's whispers in my ear:
A voice that speaks of Heaven, my child,
And bids me seek thee there
Composed by FRANK SATcHEI.

WAR OF WORD.

''Wars and rumors of wars" is the news OF

of words in the United States senate. Ben
,Tillman comes to the front with one OF the
most excoriating speeches ever delivered i'll
congress. The gold MISUNDERSTANDING
his royal fairness, Grover Cleveland, and the
king of conspirators, John Sherman-were the
objects Of Tillman's roast. The Senator told
lots of truth i'll very plain manner and i'll
true South Carolina style. We admire Till
mans courage as we'll as his financial princi-
pies, for this is not a time for the mincing Of
words But Tllman is not alone in his fiery
utterances, and the epithet of anarchist" is
likely to be scattered around until men of all
parties will be treated to a share. Teller, Of
Colorado, is rising in boldness and denuncia-
ton, while Morgan, of Alabama, and Vest, of
Missouri, are not a whit behind Tillman, eX
cept as to phraseology Verify, the storm is
brewing that, when it is over, will leave the
people free from scoundrelly band of cut

HOW PEOPLE REST.

There is wide difference in the modes fol-
lowed by the various races of the world in
taking their rest. 1t seems to the Ameri-
can that by far the most satisfactory way to
do it is either to sit or lie down, but there
are millions of human beings that rest
quiet as well in quite different way.
The most barharous races crouch ard
kneel when resting and do it so comfortably
that they sleep in those pastures as easily
as an American does in bed. The lower
classes among the Hindoos and some of the
South American races sleep thus, the men
usually crouching and the women kneeling.
In the next higher grades of civilization
those positions give way to sitting with
crossed legs. This is the sitting posture of
the Mussulman and the Pacific Island races,
as is well known. In the Persian houses
however, it is not unusual to see the in
habitants and guests ranged about room
kneeling against the wall.
Another step upward on the ladder Of
civilization brings us to chairs of various
forms. A primitive chair consisting Of a
simple wooden support few inches high is
found in some parts of Africa. Then comes
the same support with round crosspiece,
which is seen in Guinea, and then fiat
crosspiece with two legs, which is used in
the upper Nile country. Finally comes the
three and four legged stools and chairs,
sometimes in simple form and sometimes
handsomely carved, which are found among
the civilized races all over the world.
In Egypt the fellahs retain the four pos
lures of their ancestors, the kneeling, the
sitting. the cross legged and the sitting
upon the ground with legs joined. All
four date from the eighteenth dynasty.

State, school, broad in scope, exalted in
aim, elevated in standard, which has
already done, and is continuing to do an
immense, wonderful, and beautiful work
1t has been revelation to the community
and has given to our young people, without
money and without price, opportunities
equal to those to be obtained anywhere else
by the expenditure of very considerable
means. Great in heart, great in generosity
of our founder it may be said, as Tennyson
said of the Duke of Wellington, "He is
great in saving common sense" And in
his simplicity sublime, "Long may he be
spared, the counsellor, the friend, the
helper, of his race"
In conclusion, a word with regard to the
one so largely and so closely associated with
him in his great and good work the one
who has encouraged and stimulated and
increased his interest; who has been in
many matters his guide and philosopher
who has spared not herself but has given
her means, her strength, her time, her
thought, her heart, to the advancement of
this cause; whose treason firm, and tenn
perate will, endurance, foresight, strength
and skill, " make up character that shows
how great, how divine thing woman
may be made.
