yesterday when spoken to about
DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic
"A reliable and to- be-depended.
upon cure for impure blood and
dyspepsia was exactly the medi-
cine needed in this city and | am
pleased, indeed, that DR.. Harter
became alive to the situation and
has determined to make vigor-

Are you willing to be cured?
It is we'll to remember in this
connection that the DR.. Harter
Medicine Go. has become one Of
the great commercial establish-
ments of this country with bust
ness aggregating an enormous
sum of money each year.
DR.. Harter has, therefore, no rep
utation to build. 1t isn't necessary;
he has that already. Can any one
conceive that he would do or say
anything to injure his good name
or the standing of his business?
1t, therefore, stands to reason that
when DR.. Harter says "My Iron
Tonic will make your blood pure
and cure you Of dyspepsia" that
it will cure you beyond any ques-
ton of doubt. fyou are a sufferer
from dyspepsia in any of its vari-
Gus phases or forms lose no time,
but 60 at once to your druggist and
purchase a bottle of DR.. Harter's
Iron Tonic and take it according
to the directions plainly printed
on the label Of every bottle. In
slant relief will follow and in time
a complete cure.
DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic is
the grandest remedy Of modern
times for all blood and stomach
troubles. It acts as lasting tonic
and general builder-up of the
whole system creates a vigor-
Gus appetite. 1t is especially de-
signed to act directly on the
stomach and bowels. When the
machinery of your stomach is in
proper running order there can be
no sickness.

THE METHODIST SCHOOLS.

Committee Report Favors a Portland
University and Two Academies.
The commission appointed by the
representative OF Puget Sound Uni
ye-sity at Tacoma, and Portland
University, to determine the location
Of the consolidated university, de-
cided upon Portland. The report
says:
"The location OF the Portland uni
verslty, IL not ideal, has several
favorable features. 1t is considerably
developed, has streets in fair condi-
tion, and a growing population, said
20 number 300 and is provided. with
stores, public schools AMI has other
advantages Of town. This property
is now presented to US entirely free
from any land scheme, and the church
will not be further subjected to the
charge OF being 10 any way involved
In speculative land enterprises.
Therefore the commission is con-
strained TO decide that the consol-
idated university be located on the
grounds preferred, In the vicinity Of
Portland, In case the property in
Portland should not prove TO be
entirely free from encumbrances,
then the commission shall be at
liberty to reyise its decision.
1.-THE commission recommends that.
II the people of Tacoma will support
good academy, they should be en-
cOuraged in such efforts;such academy
to be feeder to the consolidated
university at Portland.
"lf Willamette University decides
to join the unIfication movement, we
recommend the same arrangement OF
maintaining an academy OF a high
grade at Salem"
Referring to Willamette University,
the report says:
eve profoundly regret that the sit
uation, as presented to US, does not
include the full and hearty agreement
OF the three institutions of higher
learning on this North Pacific coast.
cannot but cherish the hope that the
Oldest OF these institutions, honored
by the entire church for It's long and
loyal service TO Methodism and 10 the
natlon, Noble willamette University,
will at no distant day see Its way
clear to unite cordially with its
younger sisters In the consolidated
movement"

The whalers who returned on the

,quently the men get nothing. Some
OF the ships had sent out their bone
and oil, but the mems slopchest
account will more than balance their

CubaRs Not So Bad,
AWord IN Defence ofthe Men ofthe
lnsurgent Army.
They Readily Fell in With the Plans OF
the Americans,

In New York interview yesterday
General Joseph Wheeler said:
1.-THE characters OF the Cubans has
been somewhat misrepresented. They
are by no means as black as they are
painted. AS Far as | haye come to
know, they are tractable and permit
themselves to be reasoned with. 1t Is
merely a question OF knowing how to
handle them. You have got tn make
everything plain to them and appeal
to their common sense. 1t must be
borne in mind that their way Of
thinking Is entirely different from
ours, and they look on things in an
entirely different light, but once they
understand that what we intend to do
is for their good they will hardly
cause US any trouble.
"Take for instance, the way the
Cubans behaved before the battle at
La Guaslma. We had intended to
haYe them cooperate with US and in
formed the Cuban officers Of our in
tentlons. In consequence or some
misunderstanding the forces we ex.
pected they would place at our dis.
