PoPuLIsM IN PORTLAND.

Portland is being thoroughly Penney
erized. An Independence gambler is
chief of police, and the FIRE department
is demoralized. Fire chief Dave Camp
bell, who has given perfect satisfaction
during his connection with the depart
ment was dismissed Wednesday and a
number of the best fremen resigned up
on receipt of the news.
The new chief, TENNIS DeBoest, ran
the principal sa1oon ON the east side for
lorg time. He is one armed. The
salaries of the policemen were raised
recently IS per month, and they were
then assessed IS per month to raise a
Bryan fund. That seems to be the pop
ulist notion of an honest administration.
The taxpayers of Portland are getting a
"n1ad on, aud they can't be blamed.
Popocrat speakers tearfully lament in
their talks through Oregon, that they
haven't any money, and have to compete
with 'Hanna's kired orators" As =
matter of fact, nearly all the expenses of
republican speakers, at least in Benton
county, are paid by local republican, SUBJ
scriptions from all classes and the COM
mittee has difficulty in providing enough
funds. The Bryan wanderers. on the
other hand, are the unwilling contribu-
ton of Portland taxpayers, to the lost
cause.

Do you blame Cleveland, Popocrat?
Do you denounce him in big swearwords?
You do, you know you do. Now. why
do you do SO? You say, "becluse he
sold those first bonds to syndicate. I"
Well, indignant sir, do You know that
those bonds were sold to obtain, not pap
er nor silver, but gold? You say eyes. !"
Do you know that under our present
greenback system that purchase of gold
was absolutely necessary? eyes" You
say, "Mr. Cleveland, why did you not
ask the people of the United States for
that gold 20
Now, Popocrat, haven't you been tell
ing Cleveland and everybody else, that
some awful thing, that you .erm the
"money power" has corner on our gold
and controls it? "Yes."
Haven't you said, and don't you still
say that the Syndicate" is pa; u and
the agent of that money power'"
Eyes"
Now, Popocrat, look out! You are in
a corner. Aren't you green, silly. i'll fact
almost idiotic, to blame Cleveland for
buying gold of the syndicate, if the SYM
dicate controlled all the gold Where
else could he go?
s'Well," you say, and you sqairm, you
know you do. You see the point. well,
he submitted the second lot of bonds to
the people and they offered several hun
dred millions of dollars in gold, several
times the amount of the loan, and bid
much higher than the syndicate did for
the first lot.''
Then, Popocrat, the people of this
great United States are something of a
money power themselves, are they not ?
You are fighting the people then, when
you say you are fighting the money
power" That might be called rebellion,
might it not, and even worse names
"Well-''
No it is not well. 1t is far from being
we'll. You are either foolish, very fool
ish, in coademning Cleveland, or you lie,
deliberately lie, when you claim that
there is corner on gold.

DHArH OF JOHN +. CLARK.

week ago today telegram from va
quina brought the sad intelligence of the
sudden death of John L. Clark, who,
with his wife and son, Warren, had been
spending the summer at Newport in the
hope that his health would be in-
proved. The cause of his demise was
rheumatism of the heart, with which he
had been afflicted some ten years, ard
frequently during that period his life had
been dispaired of.
Early in the summer, Mr.. Clark went
to the coast with his family and the
change Of climate appeared to have a
beneficial effect upon his health, and his
family were entertaining hopes of entire
recovery. On the morning of his death
he had been down town as usual, and
about II O'Clock, while at home reading,
was taken with an attack of his old conf
plaint. Notwithstanding everything that
was done to alleviate his suffering,
he died in intense agony about an hour
later.
The deceased was valiant defender of
his country during the dark days of the
rebellion. Born in IS45, he was but lad
when the war broke out, yet he enlisted
early in the conflict and remained in the
service until the close of the war. He
first enlisted i'll the 37th Indiana Volun-
teers, serving three years. when he j in
ed the 4tll U. S. Cavelry, with whi i, he
served two years. During his service he
was in thirteen engagements, and WIS f.
nally captured and confined for six
mouths in Andersonville prison. In
1869 he married Miss Ruth Beckwitll in
the state of Minnesota where he remain
ed until few years ago when he moved
to Oregon, locating i'll Corvallis.
The remains were brought out from
Newport, Saturday, and the funeral look
place Sunday at the Congregational
church, Rev. Zercher officiating. The
deceased leaves a wife, one daughter,
Miss Jennie, and five sons, Oren, Elmer,
Warren, Edward and Elwood. During
the three years that Mr.. Clark has rcsid-
ed in Corvallis he made many warm
friends and was highly esteemed by all
who knew him. and his estimable family
have the sympathy of the entire conl,nu-
nity.

Lee was Astenished.

Lee Henkle, the truckman, is a strict
ly temperate man, but he thought he
"had'em" yesterday. for a few minutes.
He and workman named Osburn went
after morter bed, yesterday morning,
that had been used in laying the founda-
ton of the the DIR. Pernot residence. 1t
was lying over an old we'll, but Lee did
not know there was a well there. Neith-
er did Osburn.
Better catch hold the tines" advised
Glib McFadden as they started with the
bed, but the two men picked it up by the
sides and started off, Lee in front. Sud
denly Osborn's side dropped. Lee look
cd around but Osburn had vanished.
Lees knees smote together, his eyes bulg-
ed out, and his cheeks grew ashy pale.
There was no pillar of smoke, no chariot
of fire ascending into the heavens. Os
burn had walked with Lee and now Os-
burn was not.
'Where is hep family Henkle
murmered when he could command his
voice. Down an old well, so feet deep"
answered Glib McFadden. Lees face
frightened wonderfully. He rejoiced,
not because Osborn had gone down, but
because the mystery was cleared up
Glib however had exaggerated, though
that fact was no miracle. The well had
been partly filled with tin cans and other
rubbish, which broke the force of the
fall, and Osburn was unhurt except for
a few scratchs.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have invent
ed a great many valuable things. They were
the first to make brooms by machinery; the
first to put up seeds in little packages; the
| first to manufacture cut nails. Now they
are out with method Of curing dyspepsia
| by resting the stomach. Their remedy is
known as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It
supplies food in an artifcially digested form
and at the same time aids the digestion OF
other foods in the stomach. In other words
by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cordial,
dyspeptie virtually gets atong without the
use Of his stomach until it is restored to its
natural strength and vigor. A single 10
cent bottleswill oet-times give marked relief.
Get bottle from your druggist and try it.

sort of frill extending all around the
neck or across the back, commencing
just in front of the ears. The latter is
the most generally becoming style,
and the effect is accomplished In va
rious ways, with knife-plaited frills of
silk and lace gathered inside, with
them stand out; with three little
square tabs on each side, meeting in
the back. cut in one with the collar,

Tho Nutritious Marrow.

A grateful mother has just told of the
almost miraculous cure of her grown up
son by the very simple means advised
by an eminent physician. 1t was case
of debility and emaciation that nothing
could seem to reach until the physician
in question prescribed remedy that he
has found remarkably efficacious -
treating weak invalids and delicate chill
dren. This was nothing more than the
eating of an unlimited amount Of mar
row. Every day large quantity of the
bones containing marrow was ordered
from the great markets. The only prep
aration necessary was to warm the
marrow sufficiently to enable it to be
easily spread ON bread. Then, with the
addition of a little salt to render it
more palatable, it was ready to do its
work of regeneration. Under this treat
ment the patient mentioned gained dur
ing the first two weeks ten pounds OF
fiesh and strength IN proportion and
afterward continued to gain steadily
until health and strength were quite re-
stored - Philadelphia Press.

where eternal spring inspires everlasting
youth. With the snow mantled peaks OF
the Sierras upon the one hand, the calm
Pacific with its soft breezes upon the
other, and a veritable paradise of flowers,
fruits and plants between, man can find
and needs no loveier land. To visit such
a country is privilege, blessing.

Before leaving for st. Louis Mr..
exceed ten words in any message she
might desire to send him during his alb
sence.
He had been there three days and
had pushed his schemes so theoretically
that meeting with several gentlemen
at the Planters Hotel on the evening
of the fourth day would, in all proba-
bility, bring the deal to a successful
issue. Several hours before the time
of his appointment he received tele-
gram from Mrs. Blodgett. 1t read:
"Tire Sam frightened Joey badly
hurt no one escaped uninjured."
Mr.. Blodgett pored over the unpunc-
tuated message for several minutes. 1t
was decided puzzle. At last his anx-
ious mind evolved this out of the
chaos:
"Fire. Sam frightened. Joey badly
hurt. No one escaped unlnjured."
Then his fatherly heart was troubled
ut the thought of his little boys lying
at deaths door, and the wife of his
manhood passing into eternity without
his being there. lie hastily scrubbed
notes of explanation to his business
associates and took the first train for
Chicago.
His pulse throbbed wildly and tears
coursed down his cheeks as he neared
his homo. and when he saw that the
house, ut least externally, was not
damaged, prayer of thanksgiving as
cended on high and he hoped things
were not quite so bad as represented.
He let himself in and hurried upstairs.
His wife was in her room. He clasped
her in his arms and wept aloud.
"Thank heaven you are not badly
hurt" he cried. Where are the cail-
dren?"
"Out in the yard playing" she said.

"Out playing so soong' he said.
"What did you mean by this?" and he
gave her the telegram.

piled. "'Fire. Sam frightened joey
