A CUBAN COMMISSION NOT WANTED.

CUBAN COMMISSION NOT WANTED.
MADRID, March 23.-The Heraldo
says; Spain could never officially re-
cognize United States commission OF
inquiry into Cuban affairs. 1t is i'm.
possible that President Cleveland
should have such an idea War be.
tween Spain and America would be
preferable. The same paper also says:
"Spain, in former times, has accepted
the consequences OF more terrible
struggles than would be a war with
the United States, and we should pre-.
fer to risk war to recognizing the
commission,

employed constantly indoors. The
need-the absolute necessity--of a
genuine invigorator at this spring
season has impressed itself on the at
tention Of all thinking people.
In the famous laboratory Of Dart
mouth Medical School, Prof. Edward
+. Phelps, M. D., Ill. D., discovered
the formula Of Paine's celery COM
pound, remedy that has become the
standard nerve restorer, blood puri-
fier and strengthener from one end Of
the country to the other, a prepare
ton that stands unrivalled as the
medicine that makes people well.
1t Is a fact much commented upon
that men and women Of national rep
utation and prominence, like Gen.
Beals, State Treas. Colvin Of New
York, Mr.. Carlisle's private secretary,
Mayor McShane Of Montreal, Rev. Fr.
Ouellet, Com. Howell, ex-Minister to
Austria John M. Francis, and a host
Of others who are careful what they
employ when sick, and have the am
plest opportunities for finding out
what is best, have Of their own accord
sent letters describing fully their per-
manent recovery from rheumatism,
heart weakness, sleeplessness, debil-
ity, kidney troubles, and diseases Of
the stomach and liver. In all these
cases Paine's celery compound was
able to completely and permanently
bring back health, make poor blood
again rich and pure, and regulate and
build up the nervous system when
weakened and deranged.

morning the men going in to work
were overcome. Some escaped and the
alarm was given. Eleven men have

DUBOIS, Pa, March "a. AT the new
Berwind-White shaft in the eastern
limits Of the city Is men went on at :
o'clock this morning, IA going into the
north heading and four into the south
heading. At about ten o'clock the
four men were sensible Of a shock and
a few minutes later the mine boss
came to them and told them something
had happened and that they should get
out as soon as they could. When the
party reached the foot Of the shaft they
were nearly overcome by gas and were
hurriedly taken up in the cage. As
sistance was Immediately summoned

ana was devoted chiefly to a discussion
of the best means OF bringing bout an

favor OF taking executive action at
once that will test the question as to
whether the affiliated labor organiza-

DEMOCRATS ARE HOPEFUL.
Hpke Smith Says Declaration for Sound
Money and Against High Prottcti VIII
Win.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-"The demo-
cratic party is in the fight for the
presidency, and will be in it to the
end" said Secretary Hoke Smith. III
the republicans imagine they are GO
ing to have walkaway. they are de-
ceiving themselves. With the right
kind Of a platform on the money ques-
ton, the right kind Of a declaration
against high protection, and the right
kind of candidate, we shall be able
to contest every inch Of the ground
and make the issue doubtful till the
last vote is counted" This declara-
ton may be taken as keynote to tho
present situation in the democratic
party, so far as it is shaped here. 1t is
we'll known that President Cleveland
has repeatedly said during the last few
weeks that the democracy was going
to have a chance TO win this year. The
faith of the president, from all &C.
counts, has never wavered. He has all
along believed the republicans were in
more trouble on the currency question
than the democrats, and that they
were sure to adopt in their national
convention straddling money plank
which will disappoint the country. He
has, Furthermore, believed the present
tendency of the republican party
toward ultra protection would alarm
all those citizens who are not direct
benefciaries Of the protection scheme,
and rouse the conservative sense OF
the country to opposition.

Alden Benedict's Fabio Romani is

its subtlety of plot, in its cause and

MARIoNS COUNTY CONVENTION
OF Y. P. S. c. E., to Be Held in Salem
November 20 and ~.

OF Y. p. S. c. E., to Be Held in Salem
November 20 and ~.
The usual Marion county Y. p. S
G. e. convention will meet in Salem
this year. The convention last year
was held in Woodburn, which was
found to be quite too small to conyen-
iently entertain all delegates who
wished to attend. Many did not go
for fear Of not being able to secure en-
tertainment. That inconvenience
will not be experienced this year, and
large delegation from outside of the
city is expected.
The first meeting will be held on
Friday next, at ? O'Clock. A very in
teresting program has been prepared,
which, if carried out in full, will be
one Of the best ever followed, at a
Marion county G. e. convention.
The program in detail will appear in
these columns later.
AT special meeting of the Local
Union held Sunday afternoon to make
final arrangements for the conyen-
tion, the following committees were
appointed; Entertainment, Mr.. B.
e. Stanton, Miss Bertha Savage, Miss
Churchill, Miss Pearl Applegate; re-
ception, Miss Alice Kirk, Miss Anna
McNary, Miss Marie Rockwell, e. S.
Prescott; committee on ushers and
decorations, Mr.. Walter jerks, Mrs.
Leabo, Mr., l. p. Calllson, Mr. Thomas
Bruce, Mr. Clarence Furgerson, Mr..
Clyde Brock. The musical part of the
convention was left to the efficient
of II, S. Gile, president |
Of the state Christian Endeaver
Union. Every effort is being put |
forth TO make the convention grand |
success, and the people, of Salem, will
40 doubt again throw open their
homes to the entertainment of the
delegates. Watch these columns for
urther particulars.

The Corvallis team justly feels indig-

the hands of Referee Burckhardt, of
the M. A. G. of Portland, who on diff

so that they favored theEugene team.
The game came near resulting in a
free-for-all fight. The referee called
a member of the Corvallis team a liar
and was promptly knocked down. In
all the Corvallis team played a better
game than that put up by the Eugene
team.
