RIGHT UP TO DATE.
(Benson's Plaster is Pains Master.)

These are days of records and of the beat.
ing of records. Bensons Porous Plaster, for
.uuickness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except it's own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than eyer. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. 1t marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured Qatckly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and thousand times as many non
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few @ home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.

YOuneers TO Go Free.

st. Paul, May AT a regular meet
ing of the board of managers of the
state prison at saltwater, unanimous
action was taken in favor of parolling
the Younger brothers, now serving
life sentences. The pardon board does

a special meeting may be called
if the members Of the board
consider one necessary. The Younger
brothers have been in Saltwater since
1876 for the Mortified bank robbery
and the murder committed during the
progress Of the raid. The action was
taken under authority of the law
passed at the last session of the legis-

fective it must be approved in writ
ing by all members of the board of
pardons. Governor Van SAINT, Attor-

Utilizing the Waste Product.

A parish in the highlands had been
cut off from communication with the
nearest town owing to severe snow
storm, relates The Scottish American.
Supplies began to give out, and the
minister was much perturbed in mind
as his snuffbox was quite empty. The
Sabbath came round. How was he to
get through his discourse without the
aid of his usual stimulant? He appeal
ed to his faithful henchman, the sex
ton. Alas, he was in similar unsat-
isfactory predicament! How was it to
be remedied? Andrew shook his head,
thought long and suddenly disappear
ed. Presently he returned with some
thing resembling snuff wrapped care
fully in paper. The minister took a
hearty pinch or two and then asked:
"Where did you get it, Andrew"
"Please, sir, just went and swept
the pulpit oot," was the reply.

Prompt and heroic medical
assistance saved the life of Miss
Edna Irvine, Sunday afternoon.
Being troubled with soreness in
her nose, she had applied a
chlorofor1n liniment which had
been in the house for several
yeats. The application caused
some pain, and to allay it, she
reclined upon the lounge, and
inhaled the chloroform evapor-
ating from the -Eottle. Nearly
an hour later she was found in an
unconscious condition. A phys
ician was summoned Immediate
ly, but it was with difficulty that
she was restored to conscious
nesess. About five o'clock she
suffered a relapse, and her life
was despaired of. Monday morn
ing she was resting easily, and,
although she is yet quite weak,
is is hoped that her recovery will
be speedy and permanent.

A measure said to be very i'm
portant, inasmuch as divorce cases
are concerned, has been prepared
and introduced in the legislature.
It is provision for an amendment
to the code. The particular point
of interest is that it will prevent
people from going into other coun-
ties than their own, to secure
divorces, as is now the case. When
wife goes to San Francisco on a
visit, husband can skip to Albany
or some other obscure place and
have divorce and the wife would
not be apprised of the fact until
too late to try for alimony. The
proposed measure is intended to
check this method Of doing busi-
ness.

Right Have Been Serious.

While out t''roueh the CO.. J.
try, Saturday, buying horses,
William Sl<ipton narrowly es-
eaped serious injury. He was
driving a livery team with which
ha was not very well acquainted.
After passing through farm
gate into the county road lie left
the team standing urlhitched
while he closed the gate. While
he was in the act of doing so, the
animals started in a trot, and
William saw visions of a crippled
team and demolished buggy. He
lit running, and over-hauled the
outfit just as the horses broke
into a gallop. Running between
the front and hind wheels, he
seized the lines just as the hind
wheel struck his leg and threw
him. AS he fell, he caught hold
of the side of the buggy with one
hand, but retained his grip on
che lines with the other. After
being dragged some distance he
was able to run the horses into a
fence and stop them without any
damage resulting.
Mr.. Skipten purchased three
excellent horses Saturday, span
from Henry Dunn and an ami.
NAL from Chas. Witham. All
three weigh in the neighborhood
of 1900 pounds each and are five
Or six years old.

Obituary.

James A. Cauthorn, whose
death occurred last Thursday
morning, was born July 7, 1898,
in Essex county, Virginia, and
at the time of his death was aged
G2 years, 6 months and II days.
When he was two years of age
his parents moved to Missouri,
where he grew to manhood.
After his schooling he was en-
ployed in his fathers store until
1865, when he crossed the
plains to Oregon. He settled in
this county and for the first three
years after his arrival engaged
III teaching school. He was
county surveyor in 1868, and
two years later he engaged in
warehouse business. In this
business he became one of the
leaders in the handling of grain,
and the commission business in
general. In 1874 he ran for the
Office Of county clerk against B.
w. Wilson, but was defeated.
Again, in 1895, he entered the
field of politics. This time he
was the democratic nominee for
county judge against w. S. HUFF
ford, by whom he was defeated.
A few years ago he was
afflicted with rheumatism. Since
that time he was a great
sufferer to the time of his death
and a great deal of the time was
unable to walk, even with the
aid of a cane or crutches. His
suffering was intense at times
and were tax on his endurance
and patience, yet he bore it all
with great fortitude. He made
a trip to California and gave the
mud baths a trial, but after sew.
eral months concluded that they
were unavailing and came away.
Later he went to Portland and
placed himself under the care of
his brother, DR.. Frank Cauthorn.
At about the time he was
thought TO be improving DR..
Cauthorn's health failed him and
he was obliged to 60 to Arizona
in order to recuperate. James
Cauthorn then came back to his
Corvallis home. Here he re-
lnained until the end. He was
perfectly willing for the end to
come, for his long period of
suffering had robbed Death of
its terrors.
AS man, James A. Cauthorn
was esteemed by all. He was
honest and upright In all his
business dealings. He appre-
ciated and was always courteous
to his friends. AS husband and
father he was always kind and
loving. Aside from his imme-
diate family and relatives there
is large circle of friends who
will often recall his many esti-
mable qualities and regret that
his lot was SO hard during his
later years. Thus has another
of the pioneers of this commit
nifty been removed from our
midst, and although in a ma
terial form he is absent, his
memory will be ever present
with the living.
