source of their highest joys is at the same
time the cause of their greatest wretched-
ness? The very attributes which make it
possible for women to be happy wives and
mothers also render them liable to the ut
most physical misery and pain.
The sufferings of body and mind caused
by some weakness of the distinctly feminine
organs are so almost universal among wo-
men that the question might well be asked:
''Is this Natures punishment for the crime
of being woman? ?"
The true answer is Mol These sufferings
are neither natural nor necessary. They
would not exist if the organism was healthy.
No woman ought 20 endure such troubles
There is no need of it. DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription is a perfect and positive
cure for feminine weakness and disease.
1t gives health and strength to the spe-
ciaI organs and nerve-centres; heals infanl-
nation; stops weakening drains; promotes
functional regularity, and restores the nor
NAL, vigorous and painless condition which
Nature intended.
1t is the only medicine of its kind in
vented by an educated and experienced
physician. 1t is the only me 1icine which
makes baby's coming safe and compare
lively painless.
Any woman who would ike to know
more about this medicine ard about her
own physical makeup should send 81 one
cent stamps to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo
n. ", to pay the cost of mailing only on an
absolutely free copy of his thousand-page
illustrated book, "The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" or, 81 stamps for
cloth covered.
A sure and permanent cure for coustipa-
ton is Dr. Pierce's Pellets. One Pellet"
Is gentle laxative, two mild catAartic.

Brisk Demand for rhorouehbreds.

The Baldwin Sheep g. Land Co., of
Hay Creek, has for many years been
known as the most extensive breeders
of thoroughbred merino sheep in
Oregon, and the reputation of their
breeds has spread into every sheep
raising section in the west. They
have shipped their bucks into Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas
during past years, but they report
larger sales and greater demand this
year than ever before. Early in the
season they offered 800 thoroughbred
bucks for sale, and now all have been
disposed of. A representative of the
company informs the Times. Mountain
eer that they could have sold 1000
more had they had them to dispose of,
the demand having been so great.

Bushels

These estimates are verified by the
various state crop reports which are
being sent out. The total estimated
yield in Minnesota and Dakota this
year is 210,OO0,00 bushels, as against
143, 900. 600 last year. The Michigan
and Kansas CROPS will be the largest
since 1892. The heavy crops in Ore
gon and Washington will more than
make up for the bad cropi in California
With such a bountiful harvest at
hand and the probability of little de-
crease in the European demand the
prosperity of the farmer is assured,
and when the American farmer pros
pers all industrial activities are quick
ened by the increased demand for
manufactured products.

A letter has been received fl ON Ed.
Lemison, one of the Times-Moun-

first call for volunteers, and is at pres
ent with Co. L Second Oregon volun-
teers, at Manila. The letter oears date
of July Is, and the following quota
tions are made from it:
Saturday evening about 4 30 war;
ship of Dewey's fleet brought the
China into the harbor. Her appear
ance caused quite an excitement in
camp, for the boys all ran the guard
lines, and went over on the wall SO
that they could See. Most of the
crowd waited till dark, expecting more
of the expedition. On Sunday morn
ing about $50 the firing of a salute in
the barbor caused another stampede
in camp. We soon saw three more Of
the transports and warship escort
approaching. So the second expedit-
ion arrived, and we were very glad to
see them. The sick were taken on
shore and placed in a camp near our
camD. Four priyates, a captain and a
lieutenant died or the way over,
About noon the mail arrived and was
distri ibuted. It caused much JOY IN
camp. A postotfice was established on
the China, and our mail will be carried
for two cents hereafter.
SUNDAY evening about dark a
Japanese warship and Dewey's dis
patch boat arrived and we learned of
the american victory at Santiago.
"The water here is very bad. While
it rained we used rain water, that had
to be boiled before it was used, but as
it has not rained for some time, our
supply is out, and we are forced to use
water from wells that seeps in through
the ground from the bay, and tastes
like something dead had been thrown
into it.
There are seven American war
ships. seven transports and eight prizes
here at present. The Australia that
brought us over from San Francisco,
sails tomorrow for home.
Dave Bonner and James Butts, of
our company, who were left in San
Francisco on account of sickness, came
over with the second expedition, and
arrived today at our company quarters.
They seem fat and hearty, and We
were all glad to see them"
In his letter, MIR. Lemison sent
drawing OF Cavite and Manila bay, on
which is marked all points of interest,
the camp of the American troops, the
fortiications and the location of the
sunken Spanish vessels.

he heard rap and answered it by
opening the door to allow a friend to
enter as he supposed. The door
opened, he was confronted by two
masked men who, with drawn revol-
vers, commanded him to hand over all
the money in the house. The mixolo-
g:st had no choice in the. matter. He
went behind the counter and turned
over to the robbers all the money
available, $l42.75. The bandits retired
and went up the road on foot in the
direction of Saker City.

Handsome Bricks to Replace Destroyed
Buildings.
At 2:15 o'clock Saturday morning a
blaze was discovered in the McCord
occupied by A. G. Shinn, a hardware
merchant. In few minutes the
building was roaring mass of flames
and the rapid explosions of powder
and cartridges for time drove the
firemen away. The confiagration
could not be checked until tbe McCord
and two other frame buildings and
Rust's opera house were reduced to
ashes. Rust's brick cold storage suf-
fered considerable damage but he
saved his brewery The buildings
were worth about $4,000, with var
ious stocks of goods valued at about
$4,000.
The total loss is $4,000. The loss
partially insured, is as follows:
The McCord building, owaed by
VIM. Pollan, $1,000; $1,000 insurance.
The hardware stock of A. G. Shinn,
$4,000; insurance $4,000.
Rust's Opera house, $1,000; insurance
$4,000.
Rust's cold storage, $4,000, partially
destroyed; covered by insurance.
Tetau & Linderson, a second hand
store, $1,000; no insurance.
The cause of the fire from all appear
ancns was incendlarism.

TO REBUILD

In an interview with a Democrat
man, Mr.. Henry Rust stated that he
would certainly have erected a modern
brick structure to take place of the
pioneer Rust's opera house, one of the
buildings wiped out in yesterday morn
ing's S27, 900 fire.
While Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Pollman,
owners of the destroyed McCord build
ing, have not arranged the particulars,
they will also have erected al up-to-
date business structure.
Owners Of the proper y are too wise
and progressive to long leave bare the
valuable land, and, there is every as
surance, the entire sight of the four
destroyed. pioneer buildings will not
long hence be occupied by fine brick
edifices of the latest style of art and
usefulness.
