plaintiff although under age Is held
to the same degree Of responsibility in
looking out for himself and avoiding
personal danger that an adult would

the reverse of this and therefore

DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY.

One Of the first things democratic
convention usually does is to prepare
a platform which the factions of the
organization may interpret to suit the
sentiment in different sections of the
country. The St. Louis platform illus
1rates the convenience Of this arrange
zzent by leaving out the money ques-
non, so that orators in the silver-lov-
ing states may insist that the silver
question is still an issue. while those in
the east may indulge in rejoicing over
the ghrty's return to the republican
principle Of sound money. Akin to
this style of specious deception is the
hypoeritical attitude of the party with
relation to its former allies, the popu-
lists Eastern democratic organs are
becoming hoarse through their per-
seryid declarations that the party has

SKY OBsCURED FROM VIEW
Fire.Fighters Are ut Work, but
Force Is Totally Inadequate
to Cope With the Des.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 4.-A Miner spe-
elal from Ralispell says forest fires
are raging in all directions from Kali
hspen and great damage is being done.
Telegraph communication with Column
Dia Falls and White Fish is cut of.
and it is known that many fires are
between Kalispell and these towns in
the timber 1t cannot be definitely stat
I'd the amount of damage, though the
sum will run into the thousands Of
dollars.
1t has been reported here by peo-
pie returning from White Fish that
church buildings and three residences
mad been burned as a result Of forest
fires getting to the town and that the
frame work at the brickyards had
burned. 1t is thought that the main
pnrtion Of the town viii not be burned
unless q very high wind should set
IN. The fire on both sides of the rail-
read track leading from White Fish

for several miles. Another large fire
started near Dayton creek, doing great
damage to the pine timber in that
section.
Great clouds Of smoke made their
appearance Tuesday night and this
morning so much smoke was in the
sky as to obliterate the bright sun,
and one could not see distance of
Hhree miles in any direction. Reports
received are that fires are raging in

Just received that one rancher who
lives near White Fish had all his
BzHdfngs and grain destroyed by fire
and that he and his family barely es-
eaped from the burning furnace.
The whole side Of the mountain west
Of Kalispell was on fire. Forest Super
visor Haines and his force are doing
all they can to fight the fire. but his
force Of men is inadequate to cope with
the situation and the fires will burn
until a good rain sets in, which is not
likely to occur for some days.

the populist vote has never been large
and has never been deciding factor II
elections. 1t is popular thing for tht
democrats in New York and the New
England states to denounce the popu-
lists, but 1t is very different proposi-
ton In the west,
While the eastern democrats are re-
joicing over their alleged divorce from
popullsm. the democrats Of the Missis-
sippi valley country and the Rocky
Mountain region are singing different
tune. Nebraska democrats are trying
to arrange a fusion with their old
allies. The South Dakota democrats
have already opened the way for a
fusion ticket with the populists and a
determined effort is being made both
in Kansas and Colorado to get another
campaign combination on between the
allies who went to defeat in opposition
to republicans in 1896. and again in
1900. Every democrat who Is at all
familiar with political conditions in the
west knows that without the support
of the populists the democratic party
has no more chance of carrying any
western state than it has of carrying
or Vermont. 1t was the
vote that gave Cleveland Illi-
nois and wisconsin in 1892, and which
gave Bryan Kansas, Colorado and other
western states in 1896. The republic
cans have been lighting populist prin-
ciples all the years that the democrats
have been espousing them. The demo-
cratic party in the west is just as much
a populist party as it has been for the
last II years, and its success would
spell triumph for the populist princi-
pies which have been repudiated at the
polls. thousands or Dotn popuilstS ana
democrats in the west will vote the
ticket this year because
they are satisfied with President Roose-
velt's administration and the repub-
lican party's progressive principles and
because they are disgusted with the
party's confession OF incom-
potency to manage its own affairs. let
alone handling the business of the ma
tion. The democratic managers know
that they can not win in the west
without the populist support and their
criticisms of the populists is just an
other way Of hanging out their signal
Of distress.

What Better Standing Can Any
Establishment Have?

The above explains alike our popu-
larity and the reason for it--low prices
bring big sales--big sales justify low
prices.
ofter good pianos to reasonable peo-
pie at moderate prices. and they are
going to buy. our low price system Is
the result OF thorough and original
business methods.
THE STORE OF SMALL PRICES.
There is but one party in Astoria
that is in a position TO sell, and does
sell. the very choicest, high class
pianos for less money than can be OBJ
tanned elsewhere.
The reason for this has already been
thoroughly explained.
Besides, dealers who have to get
their instruments on consignment from
San Francisco houses. or have to pay
a royalty to jobbers on every instrn.
ment they sell. cannot hope to furnish
the values in pianos that can be OBJ
tanned at Eilers Piano House. Else
what means the phenomenal success
with which we are meeting. and the
large number Of sales we are making
1t means that the people who have
purchased from us. nearly all OF whom
are business men and women, have
each saved at least $50 to $3.50 by pur-
chasing here.
Yes, 1t means more than that. 1t
means that we are doing exactly what
we stated in our advertisements-se
ling instruments OF known value and
standing at prices heretofore unheard
Of. and at figures with which the or
dinary little dealer or agent cannot pos
sibly hope to compete.
We have announced and explained
many times heretofore why we are able
to do this.
We take old instruments In exchange
and allow liberal valuation Just now,
while there is big demand with US
for them.
We make terms Of payment to suit

In The Treatment Of HuInOurs

fear it was malignant. Ny friends
tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
insist on using the knife, would not
consent to 60. Instead, got Cuticura
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. I
took the former according to direc.
lions, and spread 3 thick layer Of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew.
ing It / would bathe my neck In very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In .
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to . head, when IL
broke. Every morning 1t was opened
with large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and 8 yellow,
cheesy, humorous matter came out. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumor. The soreness that had ex-
tended down into my chest was slI
gone, and my neck now seems to BE-
perfectly well.
