London, March 12.-Dispatches from
Shanghai say that there is little doubt
but the prospect of trouble between
the United States and Spain has caused
the rebellion in the Philippine islands
to break out again and has increased
the fierceness of the insurgents, who
have captured Atarri and Camarag,
important towns connected by railroad
with Manila. 1t is further announced
that the whole of the northern prov
inces have revolted; the inhabitants
have refused to pay taxes and they
have destroyed the telegraph lines.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have SO much faith in its cura-
tive powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Are Thousands OF People who Have
Chronic Catarrh.

As a result of our changeable climate
catarrh has become one of the most preva-
lent and universal diseases known to man.
Nearly one-third of the people of the United
States are afflicted with cGtarrh in some of
its many phases or stages. Add to this fact
that catarrh rapidly tends to become fixed
or chronic; also the further fact that it is
capable of producing great many other
diseases, and we begin to realize the true
nature Of this dread disease. So formidable
has catarrh become that in every city or
town of any size numerous doctors are to be
found who make the treatment of catarrh

A Happy Couple.
goes on.

Passengers on the train from Cor
wallis to Yaquina a few days since
were much amused by the naivete
of young man who proved to be
a school teacher from Ellensburg,
Wash, and who was on his way to
Little Elk to meet young woman
with whom he had been conducting
a more than friendly correspon-
dence. To his great JOY, he had
been invited to spend the holidays
at the home of her parents. He
was in such twitter Of delight that
he wanted to make everybody on
the train happy by telling them
what field of clover he was in.
He had a letter from his fair cor.
respondent, who vas to meet him
at the train, describing just how
she looked, and how she would be
dressed, and all that SORT of thing,
so that he might know her when
he saw her. When the train stop
ped at Little Elk everybody was on
the lookout for the girl, and there
she was, although the rain was
pouring down in torrents, and She
had been obliged to bring along her
big brother to carry an umbrella.
The passengers wished the Young
people all sors of good luck, as
they started to walk through the
rain and mud to her home, a mile
and half distant, and strained
their eyes TO get last glimpse of
the two as the train rolled on to
Yaqulna. Further particulars will
probably be obtained when the
young man returns to E,lensburp.
-Ore2onian.
If the Oregonian reporter knew
what infatuatngly delightful, lovely
young ladies live at Little Elk, he
would not wonder at the actions of
the above young man from Ellens-
burg.

Resume of the Year.

The year is SO nearly ended that
It's statistics can be made up with
almost exact accuracy. Some oi
them are both astonishing and
picturesque.
I. We have sold to other ma
tions more of our products than we
ever did before, the figures being
81, 200, 100000 this year, against
$To99,7G4,So7 last year, gain of
more than $I3o, 900, 900 in one wear,
and gain of $4o5, 900, 900 over
1895.
2. We have sold more goods TO
other countries this year than has
any other nation in the world, our
exports exceeding even those of
Great Britain by more than 5000
100000. That is to say, we have
become the greatest exporting ma:
tion in the world.
8. We are buying less than
ever before Of other nations, so that
our excess of exports over imports
is nearly double what it ever was
before In 1897 it was S3s7, 600, :
ooo--the highest figure ever reached
This year it is about 5000, ,ooo, ,ooo.
And there has been an excess every
year since 1890.
1t is no wonder that, besides paw.
ing Oft an enormous Indebtedness
abroad and buying enormous
amounts of American securities
there, we have imported during the
first eleven months of this wear
about $I35, COO, 900 in gold to bal
ance accounts.
In view of the above figures
don't you think it looks little
foolish to see a few men sit on
box and tell others how rapidly our
country is going TO the dogs?

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 80, 1898.
Cure For La Grippe.

La Grippe is again carrying of
hundreds Of people in the East
where it has re-appeared in a very
malignant form. Following is a
simple receipt from Alonzo 7.
Jones, editor of the Advent Review
and Sabbath Herald. Mr.. Jones
assures his readers that he has
tried it while on the Russian border
and at other times and places and
that it never fails, The receipt
was handed US by Adam Rae, who
says it is as represented:
LAS soon as you discover that
YOU have la grippe, put your feet,
and up to the knees if possible, in
water as hot as can be borne.
Keep the water as hot as can be
borne, by putting in boiling water.
Continue this till perspiration is
started. At the same time it is
helpful, though not essential, to sip
hot lemonade.
When perspiration has been we'll
started, take out your feet, dry
them quickly, wrap them III hot
ftannels, and lie down with hot
water bottles, hot bricks, or some
thing of the kind, to your feet.
Lie there till you choose to get
up; and la grippe will be killed.
You will probably be too week to
do much; but as la grippe is gone,
your strength will soon return.
Now do rot pass this treatment
by as too simple to be followed,
and go to taking medicines, CT even
a full bath. Follow these direc-
tions strictly, simple as they appear
to be, and you will find la grippe
e6ectually broken.
There is true philosophy in it.
And the philosophy lies here: La
grippe, at its seizure, is peculiarly
a disease of tie head. Plainly,
therefore, if the blood can be drawn
away from the head, so that the
disease shall have nothing 10 feed
on, la grippe will have 10 fail.
Holding the feet in water so hot.
does effectually draw the blood TO
the tarthest extremity from the
head; and keeping the ieet hot so
long, holds the blood away from the
head, 50 that the disease is robbed
of support, and inevitably fails.

THE WAR REVENUE BILL.
A Majority of the senate Committee
Against the Bond Feature.

Washington. May 5.-The senate
committee on finance as a body was
not in session today having adjourned
until tomorrow in order to permit the
Democratic members to prepare a sub
stitute for the bond provision of the
war revenue bill. There is now no
doubt that there will be a majority
in the committee against the bond
feature, as Senator Jones, of Nevada,
has taken a position against it, and
Senator Wolcott has indicated that he
will oppose it if an acceptable substi-
tute can be secured.
The Republican members of the conf
mittee, with the exception of Senator
WolCott, We're in conference over the
situation for several hours. There is
little dolbt, fruln Senator Wolcotts
eVpressions in the committee yester-
day, and the fact that he did not sit
with the Republican members TODAY,
that he will vote to eliminate the bond
provision, but it is understood that he
is not quite so clear as to the support
of substitute. The Republican mem
bers are quite disturbed over the dis
cOvely of his position, and are consid-
ering how to best repair the breach
OcCasioned by his probable detection.
They were not so greatly surprised a.
Mn Jones' position, although they hal
hoped to be able to secure his support

TRYING TO CONVERT ENGLAND.
l.. J. Phelps Views on the War Dis
tTibuted as Dodgers In London.

London, May 5.-A remarkable and
mysterious attempt to influence public
opinion in London, through circulars
distributed in the streets during the
busiest hours, began yesterday even
ing. While the theaters were empty
ing, many men were employed i'm hand
ing dodgers of yellow paper, with large
headlines reading: "Why the United
States is Making War Upon SPAIN"
Under this heading were extracts from
the remarks recently made by Edward
j. Phelps, formerly United States min
lister to England, who, from a legal
standpoint expressed his opinion that
the United States was not justified in
going to war with Spain. These eX-
tracts were accompanied by quotations
from alleged prO-Spanish newspapers
printed in America and pro-Spanish
papers published in Great Britain.
Up to the present it has been impos-
sible to ascertain who is financing this
street propaganda.
