That there is a worlds shortage OF wheat

as has been reported IS just as evident,
and This speculative boom that has been
ushered in for political purposes is now
operating as a boomerang.

GOOD WORDS FROM OHIO.
Bishop Dillon Writes to an Oregon
Friend About Politics.
e. HoFER.

DAYTON, O., Oct. 10, 1895.
DEAR BRoTHER;-Your letter of
the 18th inst. is at hand. l am very
glad to hear from you. We had the
largest meeting. in Dayton today that
ever was known here. 1t was esti-
mated at from 10000 to 10000. w. J..
Bryan spoke. 1t would have done
you good, soul and body,to have heard
him.
Indiana will go for Bryan by from
10000 to $4,000: Illinois will carry a
large majority for Bryan. Governor
Altgeld has rented sixty halls in Chi
cago for constant meetings for the
last fifteen days before the election.
Many Republicans here are for Bryan.
We have several clubs in Dayton.
There are forty Republicans in the
club that meets near where l live.
There will be a hard fight in Ohio,
but it is now generally believed here
by free silver men that Bryan will
carry Ohio. The Republicans are in
fear 1 think that we will carry Michi-
gan, and just lately it looks like we
would carry New York.
My neighbor who knows more about
the betting department than l do,
tells me that there were several large
offers to bet on Ohio going for McI&in-
ley and that wealthy Democrat took
them all at one sweep that Ohio
would go for Bryan.
/ think the country will elect w. j.
Bryan president and put him in the
White House. He said today; "The
syndicates are against me, but If they
do not vote for me they will not own
me-"
Give my respects TO Mr.. and Mrs.
Barkley, to Corbys, and all my friends,
Hoping you will keep Oregon in line
for Bryan, we will watch the east.
l have spoken few times and will
speak tomorrow night out fifty miles
from here. .-J
Respectfully, etc, m

slightest exposure. This is because
they are weak, their blood is poor and
the bodily functions are inactive.
In the treatment of cold the liver
and bowels should be kept in healthy
action by the use of a good cathartic
like Hoods Pills. Then the blood
should be enriched and vitalized, the
stomach and digestive organs stimu-
tated and the whole system toned and
strengthened. For this purpose there
is no better medicine than Hoods
Sarsaparilla which may be taken with
the utmost confidence that it will
make pure, rich blood, and build up
the system. Hoods Sarsaparilla has
a record of cures unknown to any other
medicine, and It's sales are the larA est
In the world. Therefore, be sure to
get Hoods.

"constantly Taking Cold"


SO many diseases have their origin
in a common cold that a knowledge Of
the best means for the prevention and
cure OF colds is most important. 1t is
generally supposed that cold is
caused by undue exposure and that it
must of necessity have a "run" Of
several days before any relief can be
expected. But it should be remem-
bered that when cold is due to ex-
posure the patient can easily tell
when and where it occurred, and it
happens, perhaps in majority Of
cases, that the sufferer from this dis
order Is unable to recall any unusual
exposure. In such cases it often
seemss AS though every movement
brings an addition to the cold.
1t is we'll known that strong and
healthy person can resist contact
with damp, cool winds and inclement
weather better than on. who is weak
aud debllitated. In other words,
person in good physical health is less
liable 10 take cold than one whois 'all
run down." and those who are In this

Writes a Letter.
MARsHFIELp, Oct. 23, 1896.


MARsHFIELD, Oct. %, 1895.
EDITOR JoURNAL:--Thos.'H II Tongue
stated In his speech delivered hele e
list Tuesday, that the sheep industry
of the United States furnished Ell :
ployment TO 100000 men and thu t
the total income from the industry
was $4,000, 200. 1t will be seen by
dividing 100000 by 100000 that
those men received $36 2-3 per year, 10
cents day and boarded themselves.
We f0d according to the figures Of
Statistician Bronson G. Keller, that
there were in the United States in th,
year 1894, when the Mckinley act
was at its zeith, l5,04S,017 sheep
valued at ss9, ,197, 900, hence according
to Mr.. Tongue, 1t requires the time of
one man to attend to Is sheep and
very small faction or a little lamb,
and that the annual profit Oh each
sheep is one and fourth times as
much at its value And now let us
look at this statement in relation to
the Oregon sheep industry. He said
the loss OF this state from the effect
Of the Wilson act was $4,000, 900 per
annum, while the fact is, the total
value of all the sheep in the state in
1894, was 81, 433, ,4O3, hence, according
to Mr.. Tongue the loss was nearly two
and one-half times as much.perannum
as their total value. The number of
sheep in the state in 1894 was $780,
759, hence the loss according to
Tongue was almost 81 per head, which
is as absurd as his statement that
silver was never demonetized, that
the bill referred to as having demone-
tized it, was discussed more or less
for three years, and that we. always
had splendid times Under Republi.
can tariff. Who Is so utterly devoid
of intelligence as to swallow such in
famous, deceptive, false, nonsense as
the above? Who cannot remember
the depression, the strikes, the lock-
outs, the bankruptcies, amounting to
over 1900 that occurred in '93, during
the reign of the Mckinley tariff act,
and the howl that went up from
John Sherman, Cleveland and the
combined bankers and other goldbugs,
"repeal the Sherman Act and pros
psrlty will.return at once. -. Who does
not know that the greatest panic, and
the one that endured the longest was
from 1873 to 1879, during an uninter-
ruped reign of the Republican party,
and that the cause Of said panic was,
according to committee appointed
during the time by congress, which
made its report In March, 1877, stated
that it was due to contraction of the
money volume ands to that alone.
That contraction of the volume of
money and falling prices always have
had and always must have the effect |
to concentrate wealth to enrich the
few and to impoverish and degrade
the many.

COULD TALK SILVER.
Friday evening we were at little
schoolhouse in the country among the
blazing forest fires and timber clea r
ings. A farmer presided who at the
end told of dream, or revelation"
he had the other night. He dreamed
he had robbed a bank and got away
with the money, when he met a poor
woman on the road and she charged
him with the crime and he confessed
it. The woman had all the money she
had in the world in the bank and de-
manded that he give it up. He went
to do so and 10, and behold, when
he counted the money he found
only one-Quarter OF the wild
owls money there. The banker
had already stolen the other three
quarters. The crowd enjoyed the
joke on the banker not little. A farm
boy, named Lee Jones, entertained us
with an hours talk ON the money
question, and for a man without any
education but few years at a country
school, he showed himself well in
formed. He correctly quoted the law
and the facts of coinage,and the vari-
GUS kinds of money in existence. The
favorite arguments of the oddities
were taken up and refuted by statls-
tics and statements other gold stand
ard authorizes, all arranged with such
clearness, logic and con-
that doubt If there is col
lege professor in Oregon who could go
over the ground in so thorough man
ner, or who could answer his argument.
Those who imagine the agitation
against the gold standard is going to
die out reckon without their host.
There may not be many country boys
who possess the talent of Lee Jones,
but the bankers and gold politicians
will find the silver question to be
what Abe Lincoln called the anti
slavery agitation-one of the endur-
ing problems of the age.

THEIR TALES OF WOE.
Committees Appointed to Memor-

ELDoRADo, Dec. 21.-Pursuant to call of citizens of this county, d large assembly of people from every township met at the court house to try and devise some means to get re- lief for the destitute condition pre- vailing all over our county. From the large number of people, it would seem that they were in eanest, and that they meant business Rev. J. N. Hartley was appointed chairman and H. W. Miles secretary, after which roll-eall was made Of the several (fourteen) townships of our county, and the tale of woe and des- titution reported to the mass meet ing by the representative men from their townships was indeed alarming to the greatest degree All the reports showed that only a few farmers of the county had enough corn to subsist on, while the most of them had to have corn from some source, and some were actually suffering now. Most of our people have some lands, but these are already mertgaged for the sup plies they have lived on this year. The merchants of this county are wholly unable to help them. and un- less they do get help from some source, many in this county, where the severe drouth prevailed to an alarming degree, will suffer for some thing to sustain life In wow Of these sad and stern facts, our people want their true condition made known to the m0refortunates sections of the State and elsewhere. The mass meeting appointed committee of two from each township 10 ascertain the actual needs of their township, and also another committee to memorialize the legislature, the gov ernor of our State. and Congress, and also to confer with the rail- road to get reduced rates on corn. These committees are to go to work at once. that no time may be lost
 The meeting expressed great hope in being able to get help from these sources, feeling assured that it would be in the interest of humanity and to relieve suffering and starving peo- nIa

 A woman who spent last winter in one of the most sumptuous of New York hotels says she invariably gave quar- ter to her waiter at breakfast and lunch con, thosn being meals taken alone At dinner time she was joined by her hus- band, who always handed the sergitor 50 oents
 The latter sum seemed to evenly fill the man's idea of what was due him, and his f"Thank you, sirl was bland and gracious, but the iady'a modest quarters always found their grave in the black waistcoat pocket, with no ex- pression of gratitude from tho reoipi ent's face, which wore a meaning look, as of ono who says, Women are mean, an never knows low to do the right thing by man, but one as to put up with 'em.
 It IS only in reckless good natured America that optional fees are so much larger than they ought to he. A dollar, which is a common enough sum for q man to give at dinner in fashionable restaurant, would mako q Fronch wait CT stare, although ne would have tho presence of mind to pocket it quickly.
 In Paris there is all unwritten scale which apportions per cent on tho amount of customers bill as tip. Thus Q person ordering q dinner that costs $2 would, on settling his bill, add 10 cents for the attendant.
 It is time we had either legal or in- formal rule governing tips in this coun- try and 1t is to be hoped that somo rich persons will help on the reform.
 1t will never be done by those whosa means are really small enough to feel tho tax, for 1t is one of the errors of tho impecunious to feel obliged to show as much liberality as q millionaire, even if, like the guest in "Charloy's Aunt, ho has to borrow half q dollar from tho butler with which to tip him Illus trated American.

The capture of the wild elephant and his careful training are things carried out under an admirable aud scientific system, which gives to the administra. tion ia all its branches and to the native courts q superb staff of massive and faithful servants, the eommissariat and artillery elephants,
 Although they will seldom CT never breed in captivity, the grand creatures arc easy to keep and manage, invaluable for many special purposes, and at their demise whatever tusks they may carry 20 to tho world stock of ivory. The older it is the better generally ita quality. But in any ease how senseless it seems to ex. tirpate the living source of this beauti. ful commodity, as tho reckless hunters and ignorant native chiefs and mer- chants are still allowed to do in central Africa When shall we see tho govern ments of these various regions sensible enough to perceive and proclaim that live elephants are very much more valu. able even commercially than dead ones, and that the preservation of these state ly and serivceablo animals shall bo henoeforward fixed policy for African benefit2
