CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from un.
healthy kidneys is the chief cause
of bladder troubles. So the
womb, like the bladder, was Gre
ated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in
rare cases. Ii is situated back of
and very close to the bladder,
therefore any pain or lnconven-
ience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage
is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trou-
Bile of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty
four hours sediment or settling

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for
one purpose, namely, receptacle
for the urine, and as such it is
not liable to any form of disease
except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way
is from careless local treatment
of other diseases.

a Popullsts Opinion.

Hon ThOs. Buckman Of MaTshieId
writes Stay 23.-I DO not wish tO in
trnde myself upon you too often. but
this is an eyentful time and there are
many things now before the people TO
consider, But, first let ME say To you
that your editorial in The JoU ;NAL
Of the 18th inst Is certainly worth
considering well by the people as is
very seldom ~ much Of fair and .lOgi.
cal conclusion can be got intp 80 few
words. What | wish TO say is this
that the Populists first Of all wish 10
be known by the fairness Of their
principles, and they are not afraid TO
let the world know what those prlnci-
pies are; and we feel that it is due TO
US from those who are now 50 Justify
crying for union Of forces 10 come
out and set their stakes aL1 clearly
define In plain simple words just
what 10 is they want US to join them
on. They should know our position
81 well that there is no need OF ex-
planatiOn on our part. They want
the free coinage OF both gold and sill
yer, at their present ratio. So do we.
They want the government to issue
paper money direct to tue peo0le with
out the intervention OF banks.
Soc we. The Democratic platform
last fall announced that the paper
money 50 issued should be redeemable
in coin; that we did not like, though
we submitted them for the time; but
as we consider that provision alto
gether mischieyous we do not propose
to tamely submit to IL, any more.
Land, transportation, government,
ownership, ETC., we will allow to be
held In abeyance for the time, pro-
vlded we can get the initiative and
referendum, because then all such
matters can be left for the people to
act direct upon for themselves, and 1t
is one Of our cardinal principles not
TO force upon the people that which,
after they have taken it into mature
consideration, they do not want.
Those fellows at the Albany con-
vention should clearly dedne their
every position, and II they can see
their way to get along without fore
ing the government TO swap dollars,
and are willing TO trust the people
the nselYes In and through direct leg
islation, or the "initiatiye and refer
endum," there certainly will be a very
fair show for a union of forces.
Though l only speak as private
individual, yet feel quite confident
that under those considerations
very solid fiont can he formed and
II rightly manned, sufficient to put
the enemy to route.

CROPS,
Pogue's Weather Report
Crops Uniformly Good, More Rain
Would Be Beneficial,

This week bad a material change in
temperture, from cool to warm. The
mean temperature for the week aver
aged 62 degrees: the highest was q
degrees on the 2sth, aud the lowest
was 3s degrees on the 26th. 1t is sell
dom that such marked changes occur
during any week in Western Oregon.
The day Temperatures averaged 10,
and night 30 degrees. The clOudiness
was slightly in excess Of the average.
The amount Of rainfall light, less
than Oof an inch.
All vegetation would be greatly
benefited by a good rain. The heat
Of Thursday and Friday dried the
soil very materially.
Fall and winter sown grain are
growing rapidly and they will make
good crops, even though more rain
does not fall: they are heading and a
faircrop is assured, but it would be
improved by rain. Spring-sown
grain is badly in need Of :ain. The
hay crop is fair. Alfalfa is beiug CUT
cloyer is in bloom and will be ready to
cut within ten days. a good rain
would be Of great benefit to the hay
crop. The garden truck is growing
nicely; il appears to Withstand the
dryness much better than the field
crops. Peas, beans, and early potatoes
are IN bloom. Gardens are, as rule,
very prolific and they promise wel.
this year. Hops are growing rapid!
they are being trained onto the crs
arms. The present appearances ind
cate an excellent hop crop. Corn il
growing rapidly aud doing much bet
ter than usual. Blackberries ant
raspberries are In full bloom and
promise heavy crop.
Fruit prospects are difficult to de-
termine. The prune crop is in some
sections reported to he full, in other
sections it is reported to he small.
The prune crop will be small in the
majority Of orchards, though in a few
localities, for unexplained reasons,
fair crop will result. Cherries are
ripening and they are not full crop,
though some varieties Of the trees are
as we'll filled as they should be. The
peach crop now promises to be good;
hand pruning in the southern coun-
ties has commenced. The apple and
pear crops will not, as a rule, be full.
Owing to the variation in reports, it
is not possible to particularize where
the fruit promises we'll and where not;
but it is certain that, taken as a
whole, the prune, cherry, apple and
pear crops will be larger than in 1896,
but not so large as in 1895.
Rain would be Of benefit to
all vegetation, but it is not prob
able that sufficient rain will fall
to be of that benefit which is desired.
