Calamity howlers are given a good
theme to talk upon in airing their
pessimistic views. Bradstreet's last
report gives some facts and figures
which show the condition of bust
ness to be as distressing as the most
vehement enemy of the country
could wish. The failures in the
United States during the months of
January, February and March num-
bered 4,512. The liabilities amount
ed to $685. 1926. This is the
greatest number recorded for like
period in the history of the country.
1t is nearly 500 more than the next
worst period, which was in 1884,
when the failures numbered 1850.
Statistics say it is 700 greater in
number than last year for the same
quarter; 500 greater than ir 1894,
and 1900 greater than in 1898.
These failures are only reported
from the business and commercial
houses. The many disasters that
have occurred in the agricultural
classes are not reported. The evils
which are resultant from the election
of 1892 increase with the age of the
present administration. The advo-
Gates of the present tariff system
claimed that when the Wilson bill
had a fair trial its operation would
be satisfactory. How untrue were
such statements the business condi-
ton of the country at the present
time proves.

Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calf, as they handle the REM
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what splended medicine it is:
''It is with pleasure l tell you that by
one days use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy / was relieved of very bad
cold. Ny head was completely stopped
up and could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy" A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.

PAST AND FUTURE.

The future of The Dalles depends
upon an open river to the sea.
When this shall be accomplished is
uncertain, but every month it is de-
layed retards just SO much the
growth of the city. Nature has
given us the advantage of location.
Placed as this city is, at the gate
way to the Inland Empire, it must,
almost of necessity, continue the
eutrepot of large section.
The Dalles has had its full meas
nre of misfortune. It has suffered
from confagrations more disastrous
than have overtaken any western
town. 1t has seen the railroad shops
move away, causing withdrawal of
hundreds of thousands of dollars from
circulating among business men. 1t
has suffered from the narrow-m mind
edness and cupidity of uuprogressive
citizens. 1t has lost by the jeal-
ousies and contention of warning fac
tions. 1t has experienced all these
misfortunes, and more; but not
withstanding them all, the city has
grown and prospered, and today COM
pares in favorable light with its sister
towns in the state.
The stability of our city has been
tested. No town could weather the
storm The Dalles has unless it rested
on firm business foundation. Our
history gives us guarantee that the
future contains better things than
those to which we have so far at
tained.
There are some subjects to which
the attention of our citizens.should
be Immediately directed. First, the
reduction in the rate OF taxation.
The city finances have been reor-
ganized and placed upon a basis
which may be called satisfactory, but
our county taxes are far too high
Unless change is made and the
Indebtedness reduced and taxes low
cred, we cannot hope for any great
investment of outside capital, Be-
sides too much of the profits of our
business men go for taxes.
Secondly. our trade influence must
be extended to all points of the
country tributary to this city. This
can only be done by system of
roads far better than those we
now possess. Trade must be at
tracted to The Dalles, and it can
only be done by building and main
tanning good thoroughfares.
Lastly: AS we have said before,
we repeat row, that large share of
our present prosperity is due to the
low transportation rates we enjoy
through the agency of the Regula-
tor line of steamers. Without them
this city would have been at the
mercy of single railroad, and it is
well known that such institutions have
no mercy.
These rules are worthy to be fol-

These sharp, raw, capricious days of
February are blamed for much sickness
that is simply the direct result of ner-
vous weakness.
Perfect health will keep one above
any depressing influence from the
weather.
Pure, richer blood and better fed ner-
veus tissues viii make people feel well
even in February.
During his many years of hard and
wonderful work, Prof Edward E.
Phelps. Dartmouth's great professor,
had in mind the thousands who were
weak and run down. His study of
the many cases of nervous prostration,
neuralgia, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
debility led him to that most marvellous
discovery of the century, Paine's eel

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.

10, 1881 wish to inform you of

Balm has done my wife. She has
been troubled with rheumatism of
the arms and hands for six
months, and has tried many reme-
dies prescribed for that complaint
but found no relief until she used
this Pain Balm; one bottle Of
which has completely cured her.

them one day that on account of their
opposition the sky would be filled with
fire that night. And sure enough twas.
The fire proceeded from the explorers
camp, and enough rockets were sent
up to provide any American village
with Fourth of July celebration. The
natives decided that they didn't want
to fool with a man who could call the
gods to his aid, or at any rate do such
wonderful things himself. So the eX-
plorer went on his way. The Fangwes
were called Fans by the explorers I'M
til a few years ago.
Miss Kingsley had remarkable adj
ventures in the Fangwe country. The
Tangwes are cannibals of the most
pronounced type, always at war with
each other, and are one of the few
tribes of Africa who eat their own
dead. Miss Kingsley had with her
three elephant men," or hunters,
OF the Fangwe tribe and four DJuma
men. As the little band approached
each FaDgwe town it was found to
be in a state of defense, and the lead
ers of the band very often fell into
some trap which the inhabitants had
laid outside the town for 'be enemy.
AS the expedition had no proper ban
dages, when one of the carriers was
injured he had to have HE wounds
bound up with leaves. When the jour
rev was resumed Miss Kingsley found
Tie traps numerous and every kind OF
obstacle placed in the paths.
At almost every town the Fangwes
stopped the expedition and wanted to
cat the three Fangwe elephant men,
as they were enemies. Miss Kingsley
rad guaranteed their safety, so some
times by persuasion, sometimes by
threats of punishment, and sometimes
10y a little present the men were each
time saved. Miss Kingsley did not
come across one burial place in the
Fangwe country, but she found that
n most of the native mud huts pieces
OF human bodies were being kept just
as civilized people keep eatables in
their larders.
On one occasion, when Miss Kings
lev was turning out the contents of
q sack to find the origin of sickening
smell, hands, feet, eyes and other hui
man remains tumbled out onto the

AMONG THE CANNIBALS.
Miss Kingsley's Adventures in the
Wilds of Africa.
An English Woman Spends Months in the
French Congo with a Few Servants
Her Journey Among the Man
Eating Fangwes.

Miss Kingsley, an English woman, is
Just at present the most famouswoman
traveller of the day. She is the daugb-
ter of Henry Kingsley and niece of
the famous Charles Kingsley. A taste
for natural history and love for the
novel and barbarous led her TO Africa.
She has just returned to England from
the longest trip she has yet made, and
her countrymen are making much of
her. A reporter says:
ITO an interviewer, of course, all
Women are beautiful, and never past
the prime of youth. AS for dress, Miss
Kingsley wore a tailor-made skirt and
jacket, a closely-ftting wooden blouse,
a necklace of African workmanship,
and two polished teeth of a Gaboon
gorilla"
The Ogowe river in the French Con-
go is the scene of Miss Kingsley's latest
wanderings,. and for nearly a year she
has been in that region collecting
fishes for the British museum and
studying the fetch customs of the ma
tives. In December last Miss Kingsley
reached the French Gaboon settlement,
and astonished the officials by propos-
ing to ascend the Ogowe river. They
let her go, however, though after she
left the steamer at the foot of the cata-
racts she was certain to pass months
without seeing a white face, travelling
alone with her men porters among bar
barous tribes.
Miss Kingsley went up the Ogowe
nearly 100 miles beyond the point
where she left the steamer. Then she
descended little way and struck out
overland through the Fangwe country
to the westward, travelling 100 miles,
much of the time among the Fangwe
people, before she reached the Rembwe
river.
The famous Fangwe cannibals are
the natives who defeated the attempts
of many explorers TO ascend the Ogowe
river. They told De Brazza that they
would not let him go up the river. 1t
was due chiefly to them that this large
river remained for so many years one
of the Cnigmas of Africa.
De Brazza at last frightened the ma
tives into letting him pass. He told
