The Whenn ORION.

The Government crop report
shows comparatively low average
condition of winter wheat. 1t is
not SO bad as some of the unofficial
crop advices had foreshadowed; but
an average of 77.9in April is lower
than any other, with three except
ions, in II years. Those three years
(1885, 1893 and 1850 were years
of comparative small crops of win
ter wheat. While it is still poss-
ible sthat fine weather hereafter
may improve the outlook for the
crop, it is significant fact that
the condition of wheat in the past
seventeen years has been higher in
July than it was in April only four
times. From present indications,
therefore, and Judging by past ex-
perience as we'll, it will not be safe
to build upon anticipations of q
big wheat crop. 1t is too early
however, to forecast the probable
harvest.

Looizing For a soft SNAP.

People are largely, if not wholly,
responsible for their dissatisfied
condition in life. The lazy indi-
vidual is always working hard to
find a "soft snap" and when he
finds it he is disappointed because
it is not softer. There isithe in
dividual who is too careless and in
dolent to perform we'll what his
hands find to do. Another one is
always wanting to do something
for which he is totally inoapacitat-
ed. He expects hundred dollar
salary when he is only worth ten,
and is Disguised withIhimself when
he discovers that value has been
placed upon him SO much below
his own figures. This individual
is able to do anything. Heis so
smart that the community in which
he resides always itch whom they
move around in the same atmos-
phere. Tho soft snap hunter de-
serves credit for ono thing is
always going to do something day
after tomorrow, and like bank
ablo note, good if never paid.

wbot DoThe PeoDle saw?

There is no likelihood of war
between the United States and
Great Britain on the one side and
Germany on the other over the mis-
cradle Samoan affair, but the sit
uation is grave enough neverthe-
less to induce the American peo-
pie to pause and consider where
this imperial policy leads to.
If they are going to follow in
the footsteps of their present i'm
perial tutor, Great Britain, they
must be prepared at all times to
undertake an expensive campaign
against semi-civilized races, who
will not recognize our benevolent
motives in interfering with their
affairs, and we must also be ready
at few days notice to fight one
or the other of the great European
powers and to make alliances, often
sive and defensive with our dear
est enemies.
Furthermore, we will have to de-
pend on our schooling in imperial
ism on England for at least gen
Grafton to come, or until we have
created navy that will be some
thing like match, not only against
that of Germany, or some other
power. but against that of Great
Britain itself.
Do the American people really
believe that this imperial game is
worth the candle? If they do not
they should make themselves heard
on the subject in way that will
not be misunderstood at tho White
House.-N. Y. News.

Uncle Sam Endorses the PEBBLES
IHcn of PIIritY.

a recent army regulation permits
soldiers to purchase one half pound OF
candy, each day they may desire, as n
welcome and wholesome addition to
their diet. OF course, it is provided
that the candy must be pure. 1T is
thus conclusively demonstrated that
pure candy is not only n healthful
article of diet, but that it is in large
measure required by the human sys-
TEN.
When to purity is added cleanliness
in manufacture, the employment of
skilled woTllInen, with fresh supply
guaranteed, every condition is com
piled with that makes candy desirI
able article for daily consumption, in
moderate quantities, for young or old.
For several months announcements
have appeared in our columns, calling
attention to the delicious candies manS
ufactured by the well-known fand res
liable house of The Joseph II. Peebles}
Sons Co., of Cincinnati, which are sold
in this city by w. G. Jewett. 9!t
The manufacturers give guarantee,
and their word means something, OF
absolute purity and high grade of ma
terials used, cleanliness and skill in
workmanship and supplies furnished
to their agents, fresh daily from the
factory. a most important consider
alton is, while fulfilling these condi-
tions, which make PEBBLES candies
superior to others, that they are no
higher in price. Since we heartily
commend all pure food products, we
cannot too strongly recommend Peeb-
| les candies to our readers.
Just now when public attention is
being so generally directed to the ne
cessity of using pure water for drink
| ing, it is important to know that The
Joseph II. PEBBLES Sons Co. control
and are prepared to furnish the fam
GUS TnllewHnda Mineral Springs wa
ter, claimed by them to be the purest
on earth. BY drinking it dangers of
| typhoid fever are avoided. 1t is al
most specific for stomach and kidney
troubles. Ask your doctor if this is
not true.
To meet n general d emand for Tall
ewanda water in syphons, recent
order was placed for ten thousand
latest improved syphons, and soon it
may be obtained sin this desirable
form, either carbonated, Nichy, Sell
tiers or Lithia. Besides it is furnished
plain. Tallewanda water is better
than water filtered with alum, and
better than distilled water, which has
neither living salts nor healthful mi-
crobes. 1t is supplied as it comes
fresh from nature-simply pure.
Phamplets giving full description
of this wonderful water are furnished
on application to The Joseph r.. Peeb
les Sons Co., Pike Building, Cincin,
matt, Ohio.

of obtaining franchise and build

ment for the supplying of water.
The matter is getting into shape
now that the town can afford to

How Dewey is Regarded.


ave seldom see him in Manila,
as he rarely leaves his ship, the
Olympia. The same is true of all
his Captains. On December 9 1
was taken aboard the Admirable
flagship and introduced by United
States Consul johnson of Annoy to
the hero of Manila Bay. 1 count
it red letter day of my life. He
showed me all over his ship and
into the coming tower. He had
the gunners show me the working
of the guns. Jack Oleson, one of
the heroes of Santiago, is now
chief gunner for the Admiral of
the Asiatic Squadron,
"In personal appearance Admiral
Dewey does not resemble his pic
ture as much as had expected he
would. He is man of medium
height, inclined to be stout. His
hair and mustache are white, his
eyes hazel and his complexion of a
seafaring man. His manner is
free, frank and cordial, though he
can express something very differ
emit, am told when he wishes.
Out here Admiral Dewey is re-
garded as almost king, and peo-
pie approach him about as we APP
proach the President at home. If
he is regarded in the States with
anything like the enthusiasm that
he is here he will certainly be the
next President. He has proved
himself here more than naval
commander; he is a diplomat and
statesman. The diplomacy that he
has shown in the various situations
that have arisen has aroused tho
keenest admiration for him here.
"People who have been in MeXi-
CO say Manila is like Old Mexico
City. 1t is more like a European
city than any city [ have soon in
the Far East. 1t lies in flat SO
it has no natural beauty. The bay
is charming, being about 30 miles
across, and the sunsets would de-
light Turner. The streets are
narrow and badly kept. In cleanli-
ness there has been great improve
ment since tho Americans came in.
There are street cars, such as they
are, drawn by small ponies, which
endure more beating than any
beasts [ ever saw. [ cannot be-
Iievo there is any moro vicious
driving anywhere in the world; it
is reckless and merciless in the eX-
treme.
"The climate is not ideal by any
means, yet just at present it is not
at all bad. The thermometer
stands at about 70 early in the
morning; later it reaches 80 to 80
at it's maximum. This is winter.
The hot season begins in March
and lasts three months. Then the
wet season comes. The greatest
hardship [ endure is the bad table;
all meat, and poor meat, with no
vegetables. The fruit is great
disappointment. L thought [ could
live on bananas, but they are of
too poor quality and nothing like
those we get at home. The mango
is choice and delicious, but expen-
sive and scarce. The mosquitoes
are also trial, no one can sleep
without net. But life in Manila
has many beguilements, though,
owing to the presence Of the army
and navy. There at least so Ameri-
can ladies here, and [ can assure
you they have not lacked for at
tention.
Personally [ feel that I am be-
ing spoiled for future living in
New England, whore women are in
the majority"

The trouble about railway build
ing nowadays is that all property is
held by trusts and all money by
syndicates. The little capitalists
would like to build but they fear
the big capitalists would swallow
them up. So they do not like the
risks. And this is one of the evils
of the modern combine business.
