Chamberlain,s Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its good
qualities can be surprised at the great
popularity Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip effectually and permanently, but
prevents these diseases from resulting in
pneumonia. 1t is also a certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not dan
gerous when this remedy is given. 1t
contains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign
lands as well as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by all druggists.

ATHENA, JANUARY is, 1904

Victoria will be long time explaining
away her inaction in connection with
the loss OF the steamer Clallam and the
drowning Of 54 Of her passengers and
crew. The vessel was within 20 minutes
Of her Victoria dock when misfortune
overlook her. She was seen to swing
broadside to the storm and drift out Of
sight, on to her doom. The local agent
was notified and he endeavored to get
local tug to go to her assistance, but
failed, owing to the absence of the crews
OF the tug feet, and no steamer had
steam up. Then he telegraphed to Port
Townsend and y nolyoke and Sea
Llon, which found her, were dispatched.
Victoria surely could have found crew
with which to man tug when lives OF
passengers were storm endangered. is
it possible that the tug Holyoke could
run 30 miles from Port Townsend to
Huccor the doomed vessel, before steam
could be raised in Victoria vesselsP 1t
does not look reasonable, on the face OF
il; therefore, this excuse is lame one.
Later the Sea Lion, another tug,
steamed over from Port Townsend and
assisted in the rescue Of a few surviving
passengers, but no [mention Of a Vic
toria boat being on the scene is made
though it was hours after the Clallam
was sighted by those on the Victoria
water front, who noticed she was flying
flags Of distress. The disinterested
manner ir which the seafaring people Of
Victoria exploited when they permitted
thehgent to call on Port Townsend for
ARsisiance, brands them before the
world as abject towards, unworthy the
name OF seafaring men. A pitiable
effort was made to criticise the actions
OF the officers Of the tug Holyoke, in
not heading for Victoria after she got a
line on the Clallam. The Holyoke hav-
ing no berth in Victoria would naturally
prefer Port Townsend, in accordance
with the natural competitive spirit ex-
isting, to say nothing Of the milk
livered treatment accorded the steamer
by Victoria seamen.

The reported assignment of G. B.
Wade, cashier of the First National
bank of Pendleton, to James II. Raley,
whose liabilities are placed at $4,000
was surprise to many of that gentle
mans friends. No more conservative
business man was believed to live than
Mr.. Wade, and his good advice and
words Of warning to those inclined to
speculate have saved many from the
threatening abyss Of bankruptcy. His
failure can be accounted for only
through his unfortunate connection
with Eastern Oregon mining properties.
"His success in other business ventures
created the envy of competitors" says
the Pilot Rock Record, land those who
knew OF his successful livestock and
land ventures, were not idle in getting
him interested in mines, and this no
doubt was the beginning Of the end"

A novel course has recently been
opened ia a training school of kinder
garten teachers in an Eastern city. 1t
is called q course in home-making. Its
prospectus recognizes the fact that the
preparation for the most important in
dustry in which women can engage has
always been more or less haphazard.
II girl could make loaf of bread and
cup Of coffee, II she knew that beef
steak is bought by the pound and not
by the yard, and that windows should
not be washed outside in freezing wea-
ther, she was too often thought to be
equipped for housekeeping at least
when the family was to consist of "just
herself and her husband" The mis-
cries Of the first year Of marriage, with
so meager supply of knowledge and
experience, are written deep in the
memories Of many husband and wife.

The catastrophe which cost nearly 600
lives at the Iroquois theatre at Chicago,
brings to mind a similar calamity at
