How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or from
an attack of La Grippe. During the
epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago
when so many, cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
1t counteracts any tendency of a cold or
La Grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. 1t is the best remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe.

wool lProspects for 1895.

Thereon E. Fell, manager of the Pen
dleton Securing mills and of the Pendle-
ton Woolen mills. gives an interview to
the East Oregonian on the wool prospect
for 1899, saying substantially what he
sent out to the growers in the form OF q
circular.
Among other things he said: SIT is
my impression that those who direct
their wool to be sold for market value
during the next three months will net
better results than those who hold for
epring sales, which will inevitably be af-
feeted by the offering of two clips at
once, depressing prices.
<tThe past year has been most disap-
pointing to wool merchants, one which
has brought heavy losses to wool specu-
aators. and is without penny's profit to
the average manufacturer. In our judg-
ment the only ones who will profit by
the indefinite. holding of wool for prices
much better than can now be obtained,
are warehousemen, insurance companies
and banks, who receive the storage, in
eurance and interest the wool has to pay.

WORKING HARD
FOR MEASURES
NJ Ost Lobbying Done in the Interest of
Pilctage, Liquor, Insurance, Rail-
road, School Book, Nickel-in-the-
Slot, ard Trust Company Legis-
latiOn.

SALEM, Jau. I9.-Familiar faces of
many professional lobbyists are appear
ing about the capitol building, and from
present indications, there will be quite
a respectable third house from a numeri-
cal standpoint, on the ground before the
close of the session.
The professional lobbyist, provided he
is not retained before he arrives here, is
willing to take any side of the question
if he is paiG for his services. His posi-
ton upon a measure pending before the
legislature more frequently depends up
on the weight of the financial support
that may be enlisted either for or against
it than upon the merits of the bill.
There are some lobbyists, however,
who are above mercenary motives, and
who appear in the arena of the legisla-
tive battle only from principle. This
class OF lobbyists include those who
have pet hobbies that they have been
endeavoring to ride into legislative
enactment for years. Money offers no
temptation to them.
Perhaps the most lobbying will be
done in the interest of pilotage, liquor,
insurance, railroad, schoolbook, nickel
in-the. slot and loan and trust company
Legislation.
AS there are several measures pending
the passage of which will prove a serious
menace to the liquor interests, there is
little question but wha: the liquor inter-
ests will also be represented by third
house delegation later in the session.
The same may be said OF the anti-nickel-
in-the-slot and anti cigarette bills. 1t
will require some effective work, per-
the bill to prohibit the selling of liquor
in private boxes of restaurants, present
indie atioEs point to passage of the
measure.
Considerable progress is being made
in the matter OF getting bills into the
force has been doing some hard work,
and bills are being ground out at a
rapid rate in consequence, In the
house alone there were yesterday 90 bills
read the second time, and committed
into the hands of the proper committees.
The various committees as we'll as COM
mittee clerks will be kept busy the rest
of the week In consequence.
The introduction of bills is not pro-
ceeding at the rate that was evidenced
the fret week of the session, although 6
number find their way to the desk of the
clerk in the two houses each day.

Ee Protecs Domestic Animals.

The bin of Representative Grace, of
Baker county, to prohibit the POISONING
of domestic animals, is receiving the
favorable opinion of nearly every MEM
ber of the legislature, and will un-
ques:ionably become a law. The full
text of the bill is as follows:
'.If any person shall put out or place
amy poison where the same is liable to
be eaten by any horse, cattle, sheep,
hog, or other domestic animals of value,
) the property of another, with intent to
poison such animal, such person, upon
conviction thereof. shall be punished by
imprisonment in the penitentiary not
less than one, nor more than five years,
or by imprisonment in the county Jail
months, or by fine of not less than 500
nor more than $1,000"
Had some such bill been passed years
ago many of our sheep men would prob
ably not have suffered such loss from
this practice of putting out poison pro-
miscuously. Hundreds of dollars worth
of animals have been killed through the

this means of ''getting even" with 6
neighbor. The bill also refers to do
mestic animals which are kept as peti
about the house. Many residents of oul
city have recently lost valuable dog
from poison carelessly set out by
neighbor; but had no redress, and there
fore the matter was passed over. If thi
bill pass, it will no doubt put stop t.
such proceedings.

APPLICATIONS FOR DISCHARGE.
Not to BE Forwarded Unless There Il
Proof of Good Cause

In order to avoid as far as possible the
enlistment of men in the army who are
likely to repent of their enlistment soon
after entering upon military duties the
Secretary of War has issued instructions
to the different department comma nders to
exercise the greatest caution in future en-
liStments with a view to reducing apph-
cations for discharge to a minimum. 1t
appears that many men after entering the
service find various causes for q strong
desire to return to civil life. The most
frequent excuse is that their parents or
other relatives have become sick or desti-
tute and in urgent need of their SER
vices These applica tons for discharge on
various preteXtS have become SO numerous
that the departm has found il necessary
to take greater precautions in the enlist
ment of volunteers.
In a recent circular letter on the subject
to General Merritt, commanding the de-
partment of the east. the Secretary of War
gives the following instructions:
In view of the fact that many applica-
tons for discharge of enlisted men are re-
ceived at this office, based on statements
that the parents, sisters, brothers, ETC.,
are sick. or that for some reason since
their enlistment their relatives have be-
come destitute which condition in many
cases existed when the men enlisted, and
which statements are frequently found to
be false and only used in order to enable
the men to be discharged and then enlist
in other regiments the major general COM
handing the army directs that officers to
should not favor them, nor forward them
rule unless they have first obtained
proof of the statements, or are otherwise
convinced of the truth thereof
