tired citizens, was elected mayor over
j. A. Phillips, democrat, by twenty-six
votes. Mr.. Phillips is the present city
clerk and had he received the vote Of
his party in the First ward, which is
democratic, he would have been elected.
p H. Arb, republican, was elected city
solicitor, over S. c. Huber. democrat,
the present county attorney. by one
vote. d. E. Goodell. republican, had
no opposition for treasurer. p. Hixon,
democrat, was reelected assessor by Il
handsome majority over j. I. Wilson.
The democrats elected p. P. Schrock,
a furniture dealer councilman in the
First ward and the republicans elected
f. w. Brokhausen, lumber dealer,
in the Second. and Carl Brice, a dry
goods merchant. in the Third. The
election was celebrated last night with
a huge bonfire in Main street, and kind
ling was scarce this morning. Had 1t
not been for the timely intervention of
older and cooler heads the crowd would
have burned the band stand, which
they carried full block and had it
almost on to the fire when they We're
stopped. Mr.. Bolan was forced onto
ticket because no one else would take
the nomination, but when once he ac-
copied as is his custom, he made the
most of the situation.

Upon His Hearers.

G. 1. Starr, superintendent Of
Polk county's schools, delivered
the address to the graduating classes
Of five public schools at Bell

PACIFIC CABLE COMPLETED
United States Is Now In Close Touch
With Its Oriental Posse sions.

Another great enterprise, the
Pacific cable, is completed. Last
Christmas the first message was
flashed through the depths of the
great Pacific Ocean from Honolulu
to San Francisco, 23O0 miles; and
now, only six and one-third months
later, the big wire has carried a
message sent by the President Of
this mighty Republic not only to
Honolulu, but thence. with a
1893 miles fae M
TO Guam, and thence, after a slight
halt, 100 miles farther through
the unseen, unexplored watery
waste to Manila; thence it was
pulsated almost as quickly as
thought moves in the brain to
Hong Kong, and SO on across two
continents and narrower waters t.
Queenstown, and then in breath
or two across the Atlantic to New
York, and so up to the little hamlet
of Oyster Bay, where the President
received it before he had time, after
sending it forth on its journey
around the world, to smoke half Of
a cigar.
A Pacific cable has been talked
of for many years and was looked
upon as a great undertaking; but
the late John w. Mackay said he
could and would lay it, and 10! in
a few months it is done. 1t is an
important achievement, and will
aid in bringings the United States
and the Orient into closer COM
mercial relations, and in developing
our volume of commerce with the
thronging hundreds Of millions Of
people across the Pacific.-Tele-

Miss Maude James is back tc
Falls City.
Mrs. Hugh Black has been i'll
for several days.
Most Of those who have had the
sore throat find it most difficult to
get rid of, but none of the cases are
serious.
Several cars of lumber have been
shipped over the new railroad, and
this class of freight will be steadily
on the increase.
The Bryan-Lucas Lumber Com
pany and the Mountain Mill
Company have reached satisfac-
tory agreement concerning the use
Of the water in Teal creek, and from
now on there will be no obstacles
in the way of furtheri improvement.
Again the whistles blow, which
announces to US that operation of
the mills has been resumed after a
few days lay-off to give the boys a
chance to show their patriotism in
celebrating the Fourth. Yes, we
celebrated the Fourth. There were
perhaps larger crowds at the Buffalo
Exposition than we had here, but
taking into consideration the OBJ
stacles that were in the way, we
can justly say that our efforts were
crowned with success. The ex-
ercises in the morning were
necessarily brief. School Supt. c. L.
Starr took the chair, and ]. d.
Mann, of Portland, made a neat
and appropriate address, while the
band lent its assistance by giving
several well-rendered selections.
After dinner, the various sports
were carried out to the letter, and
in the evening the fireworks were
splendid for a town the size of
Falls City. The dance given in
Bryan-Lucas' hall was a most
pleasing event.

MANY PROOFS ARE ALLOWED
Wide Latitude Given Indian War
Pensioners-Aged People Given
Every Show

The two special agents in Port
land, whose duty il is to examine
claims Of Indian War Veterans,
are getting on very rapidly, and a
large proportion Of The 900 claims
have already been approved. The
Pension Commissioners allows the
agents great deal Of latitude, as
he realizes the difficulty Of obtain
ing positive evidence in cases re-
ferring to half a century ago. If,
therefore, the aged applicant is un-
able TO find comrades to identity
him, the fact that he has been
known as an Indian War Veteran
for 20 years past by reliable
neighbors is considered sufficient
proof. This is a more liberal con-
struction Of the law than was ever
applied before, but the Com
missioner Of Pensions feels justified
in it, in the light 81 the extreme
age Of the applicants, many Of
whom have died since they applied
for the $8 per monfh voted them
by Congress year or 10 ago.
The ages Of these veterans range
from sc to SO years, and many Of
them are well preserved at a very
advanced age, while some of the
younger ones are very feeble. One
citizen of Portland nhmed Foster is
IS years old, and still is not so
gray as some men are at As. His
step is light and his Faculties are
keen, apparently, aslthey were 40
years ago.
There is noticeable absence of
young widows among theapplicants,
and those posted in pension matters
think that ten years will be about
the longest period that Uncle Sans
Oregon Indian War pension will
draw on the treasury for any
amount. Most Of iha men who

catarrh of The Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and infames
the mucous membrane, exposing
the nerves, and causes the glands
to secret mucin, instead of the
natural juices of digestion. This
is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
