MILLIoNATREs POOR STOMAC

MILLIONAIRE'S POOR STOMACH.
The orn-o stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded In the
public prints as q horrible example of
the evil attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But m~illionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far more
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and In
digestion are rampant among these
people, and they suffer far wo~se tor
lures than the millionlire unless they
avail themselves OF o standard medi-
cine like Green's August Flower,
which has been a favori,e household
remedy for all stomach troubles for
owe %thirty-five years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insu"ing perfect diges-
tion. 1t tones and vitalizes the entire
system and makes life worth living,
no matter what your station. Trial

Parker Leads.

The developments of the past ten
days point to a walk-over in the Ma
tional Democratic Convention for
Judge Alton B. Parker. All doubt of
his ability to command the support of
New York State in the Convention has
disappeared. Congressman generally
from tho South are crowding to his
standard.
Judge Parker is comparatively a
young mau-of about 81 years-and he
has ability of q high order. He speaks
only when there is reason to speak, He is
not merely clear-hcaded but he is level
headed. lie is the kind of man that
captures the confidence of the substan-
tial people OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES they
be laborers, farmers or bankers.
Hearst will have strength in the Con-
%vention. Hearst has in his favor a mild
sort of backing from Bryan. Whatever
may be thought of Mr.. Bryan, he is
personally a decent, honest, earnest
and reliable man as much SO rs Is
Judge Parker. OF Hearst the same can
by nc means be said. Hearst has nei-
ther ability nor a>good record person
ally. If Mr.. Bryan should be renom-
mated this year, it would he q party
blunder. If Heart should be nomin-
ated it would be no less a blunder and
an everlasting disgrace to the party Us
we'll.
However, the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party for president will in all
likelihood be Alton b. Parker of New
York-a man who can win.

Protest Should be General.


What can The ADVERTISER effect by
complaining about the want of mail
service suffered by this town? The
morning mail has been taken off-once
again the town is left with "a hour in
tervals between news arrivals from the
outside world. Laurens has a popula-
tion Of 5000 people. There are rail
ways leading North, South, East and
West. Laurens has great industries
and a large business. These railways
were in large part constructed by
money derived, from the pockets of
Laurens taxpayers, The railway debt
incurred Is not yet paid. 1t is al out.
rage that The town secures nc more
consideration. OF course it is. But
what can THE ADVERTISER do? 1t has
for q year contained editorial after
editorial on this subject. They have
accomplished nothing.
Meanwhile the railway companies
are acutely responsive to public opin-
ion. When the people OF Laurens. If
they agree with The ADVERTISER,
unite in a vigorous protest, and then
protest again and again, the Railway
Companies will listen. When the
business men of Laurens join to divert
business in a way that certain railways
will feel, then these railways will heed.
Meanwhile, the location of the Lau-
rens passenger station is probably the
most dangerous Of any in a small town
on the face of the earth. The station
seems to be located by design in such a
way as will cause the greatest number
of people possible to cross the greatest
number OF tracks at the hour when the
greatest number of trains arrive and
depart. Had the railway companies
had for their object the construction of
a trap in which to catch persons and
vehicles and kill aud main them in the
catching, they could not have con
trived one more suitable for the at
talnment of such malign purposes.
However, the railway companies
have every reason to believe that the
town people are satisfied with condi-
tions as they exist. Practically, the
protesting Is confined to THE ADVER-
TISER

Buy q Blank Book.

Now is the lime for the farmer to buy
q ten cant blank book. Let him keep
a careful account of his farm expen-
ditures. Let him know at the years
end how his money has been spent. To
keep books does o require expert
knowledge. 1t does not require that a
system should be kept such as is neces-
sary in a bank or a store. Every farm.
er should know what he is doing and no
farmer can expect to succeed who does
not.
1t has been "given out'' from Wash
ington that certain four "big men, are
to be- seat as delegates at large to the
National Democratic Convention from
South Carolina. How should they
know In Washington? Is it not passing
strange that the future of the South
Carolina Democracy can be best pro-
phesied from the District of Columbia?
After all, is there not some reason in
favor OF the peoples claim to manage
their own affairs?
liz Senator Tillman should desire to
go to the st. Louis Convention, and the
Democracy 80 wishes, let the Democ-
racy send him. Meanwhile if the De-
mocracy should wish to send Col. John
O. Haskell OF Columbi., for example,
as well, let the Democracy send him.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
Col. Haskell would make au admira-
BILE delegate, because he has been a
member of the National Committee
and has a wide acquaintance through
out the country. Mr.. Stanyarne Will
son would be an able and creditable
delegate for South Carolina. However,
1t seems from the present outlook that
the gentlemen who hold Offices will see
to it that those who do not hold offices
must stay In the background. II they
can.

THOMPSON CREEK MINES.
Valuable Coal Deposits Owned by
Heppner People.

Hon. G. w. Phelps and P. O. Borg
were called to Portland this week to
attend meeting of the stockholders of
the Thompson Creek Coal Company.
The GAZETTE is pleased to say that
the stockholders are now greatly en-.
couraged over the prospects OF the
property.
From shafts and tunnels and diamond
drill records it has now been proven
bevond a reasonable doubt that the
lands owned by the Thompson Creek
Company are underlaid with valuable
measures of coal.
Assays from coal brought up from
depth of 400 feet show coal fully equal
to the Rock Springs product.
The fact that the field is only a short
distance from railroad and the many
natural advantages make the deposits
very valuable.

There was a large attendance of the

The affair was certainly very pleas

A very entertaining and pleasant fea-
ture was the marching in which en-
b ems of Woodcrsft were pictured with
an ease that showed practice and train
ing by the members of both orders.
After the marching was over, Mrs.
Effie Gillian, Past Guardian Neighbor,
installed the officers Of the Circ,e,
followed by the installation of the
officers of the Camp by E. l.. Freeland,
Past Consul Commander. After the
officers were escorted to their respective
stations, recess was declared and it
was announced that it would be in
order to play games until supper was
ready.
While the grand orders of Woodcraft
have able provisions to care for loved
ones after members have passed away,
the ladies OF Woodcraft certainly know
how to look after the living. What
could be more pleasing to hungry
people than an elegant repast.

russia IS HOLDING OUT
Far Eastern War Cloud Growing
a Little Brighter.
THE ISSUE is MANCHURIA
There are Two Main Questions Still
at Issue.-War May Yet be
Averted.
THE ISSUE is MANCHURIA

st. Petersburg, Jan. 18.-The Asso
ciated Press correspondent, on higl
authority, is able to give the following
as the present status of negotiations be-
tween Russia and Japan:
Russia recognizes Japan's predomi-
nance in Corea and Japan recognizes
Russa's special position in Manchuria
There are two main questions still al
issue, the Russian demand for a neutral
zone upon the Corean side of the Yalu
river, which Japan met with proposal
for similar neutral strip on the Man
churian side. japan also asks for
certain guarantees covering Manchur;a
which Russia thus far has declined tc
grant. 1t is pointed out, however, that
the assurances given few days ago by
Russia regarding open ports in Man.
churia and respect for treaty rights is
concession on this point.
That the two countries are not go far
apart may be fairly inferred from the
following statement made by MIR. Ku.
rino, the Japanese Minister, to the
Associatee Press re oondent:
War now would only be disastrous
to both countri S, Owing to the geo
graphical situation, an armed conflict
would result in a great drain on the
men and treasury of both Japan and
Russia, without being decisive. Be.
sides, believe it would not be worth
while 10 go 10 war on the questions sti |
in dispute"
There is a strong Indication that
through the Cars personal acts the
peace party is completely in the as
cendant. Mr.. Bezobrazof, the head of
the war party, has gone abroad; For
beginning has favored peace, is now
completely rehabilitated, and Viceroy
Alex eff has been made subservient to
The Foreign Office in the Russo-Japan-
ese negotiations. His extensive powers
are curtaled, and he can make no move
without the Cars personal approval
In fact, the fresh assurances conveyed
through Ambassador Cassini to the
authorities at Washington of the recog-
milton of the rights acquired by the
Chinese treaty is. largely attributed to
Count Lamsdorf's 8 influence.
Diplomatic circles regard Count
Lamsdorff' g conduct of the: negotiations
under the Cars direction:las a very
hopeful sign. Another strong influence
On the side OF peace has ibeen the atti
tude of M. Witte, president of the
Council of State, who has been bending
his energies to avoid conflict. At the
recent meetings of the Council of State
NJ. Witte, with his od-time eloq uence,
pleaded the cause of peace, pointing
out the disastrous consequences of war
to Russia, and declaring Russia had
everything to lose and nothing to gain
1t is predicted that if peace prevails. NJ |
Witte again will become great power
n the government.
