THE STR AIGHT HAIRED GIRL.
Advice to the Young Man who Is
said to he Inclined Toward Mat
from the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
Some one of the oracles whose mission
is 10 advise young women how to select a
husband, and TO warn young men against
feminine wiles, has recently set up a new
guide post for masculine wayfarers on the
road to matrimony
Marry a girl with straight hair" says
the oracle The chances are that her ways
are as straight as her locks while the
heart of the curly headed girl is as full of
twists and quirks as her hair"
The theory Is eXpounded al some length
If all men will but be guided by this sibyl-
inc voice. the day of the straight-haired
girl is close at hand. She needs compensa-
ton. For years she has fought an unequal
fight against her sister of the curly locks
and her temper has been worn threadbare
ali on account of her hair. What choice
has a straight-haired girl on a windy day.
Her hair is struggling i'm frantic wisps over
her collar and her ears. She looks untidy
disreputable; and ali the time the curly
haired girl is becoming more and more be-
witching Her stray locks crisp and curl
and fiutter fuffily round her face, and she
smiles in serene consciousness that the
wind is quite powerless against her When
rainy days come the straight-haired girl
signs dOlefully, and looks limp and defect
ed in spite of swell clothes. Hot days have
the same depressing effect upon her hair
and spirits. Sea bathing has no charms for
her Even golf can't be TO her what il is
10 the champion with curly hair But, il
straight hair is to be a certificate of eligi-
billy FOR matrimony, there will be balu
for ali these wounds.

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
taChian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrhl

P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case OF rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health in
fact, l sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My COM
rad and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for ou1
pgck-train before we left Tampa, and I
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life.''

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are 100000. an amount al
most equal to the Indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniencv to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de-
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
eonahle excuse for the non-payment OF
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec-
ton thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

WAR HUMOR At SANTIAGO.

Capt. Evans is responsible for a
choice bit of sailor humor which de-
serves to be rescued for history be-
fore it is lost in some dusty pigeon
hole in the navy department.
On the day after the destruction
of Cervera's ships the Spanish war
ship Reina Mercedes was discovered
in the Santiago harbor channel, evI-

son with the Merrimac had begun.
Then Capt. Evans signalled from the
Iowa: 1.-The Spanlards are trying to
sink ship to block the channel.
They need help"

was fastening the signal flags 10 the

VOL UNrEERS HEARD FROM.


For a week or ten days the public
has been sickened by the inventions
and fa!sehoods of sensational CORE
spondents and yellow journals as to
army conditions. Changes have been
rung on stories Of starvation, eX-
posure, and suffering, and the public
has been forced to read such trans
parent exaggerations as were never
before foisted on sorely tried peo-
pie. Now we are hearing from the
soldiers themselves. Colonel Young
of the First Illinois cavalry, we'll
known in Chicago, better known the
country over than any yellow CORE
spondent, declares that every pro-
vision possible was made for the care
of the soldiers, every precautlon was
taken to guard against disease. There
was no danger from the water at
Chickamauga, for it was Of excellent
quality, and he says emphatically
that the men of the first cavalry have
nothing 20 regret save that they did
not get into active service.
Captain Thomas S. Quincy, also
we'll known in Chicago, declares that
the rations issued by the government
at Camp Thomas were all that any
reasonable man could ask for, both as
regards quality and quantity. For
the last five weeks he messed with
his men, eating the same food that
they ate. AS to hospital facilities at
Chickamauga, Captain Quincy states
that the men had the best care that it
was possible to give them. Scores
of physicians go on record to show
that the stories of starvation are
fabrications based on the necessary
restrictions of physicians or on the
inevitable condition of fever patients.
All dispatches from Montauk Point
on the arrival of the First Illinois in
fantry report the regiment in good
condition and as having been well
cared for on the trip from Cuba. No
complaint comes from this regiment
that has seen extraordinary hard SER
vice at the front.
The stories of the soldiers them
selves put to shame all the miserable
fabrications of the yellow journals.
The eXaggeration of the inevitable
ills of camp life was based on the be-
lief that it would be approved by the
soldiers themselves. This idea was
contrary to all the principles on
which soldier character is built up.
The volunteers, So eager to go, so
patient under discipline and exposure,
cannot be put in false light by the
slanderers of the army and of the
government. The hardships of army
life have not broken the spirit or
weakened the loyalty of the yolun.
