An English Author Wrote.

"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no
flowers, no leaves,-November!" Many
Americans would add no freedom from
catarrh, which is so aggravated during
this month that It becomes constantly
troublesome. There is abundant proof
that catarrh is a constitutional disease.
It is related to scrofula and consump-
tion, being one Of the wasting diseases.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has shown that
what is capable Of eradieating scrofula
completely cures catarrh, and taken in
time prevents consumption. We can
not see how any sufferer can put of
taking this medicine, in view Of the
widely published record Of its radical
and permanent cures. 1t is undoubt-
edly Americas greatest medicine for
Americas greatest disease-catarrh.

FAMOUS
MALE
QUARTET
The ParIand-Newhall Com
pany at the Grand Opera
House Tonight

The "Parland Newhall," company
Of musical specialists, will give one
Of their fine entertainments at the
Grand Opera House tonight.
This is the first attraction Of the
Y. NJ. C. A. entertainment course and
promises to be first class in every par
ticular. Reports from Albany, where
this company filed an engagement last
night. are very fattering. The male
quartet was encored time and time
again. The voices in this quartet have
been together before the public for
five years and their blending is as
nearly perfect as practice can make.
The people of Salem, who have been
fortunate enough to secure season tick
cts to the Y. NJ. c. A. entertainment
course will be glad to know that they
are to be given such high class attrac-
tions.
Marc, the Magician, who is the
second attraction of the course, is a
wonder in his line. Single tickets to
this entertainment will be worth 81.
The management Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
is TO be complimented on securing
such fine attractions and at such rea'
sonable prices for season tickets.

Down TO Cases

By playing the University of Cali
fornia football team to a standstill yes
terday at Berkeley, the team from the
Oregon State University at Eugene
again demonstrated the fact that the
state of California is not the whole
show. and that there is going to be
some great football played in Oregon
this year If either Of the big south
ern teams should have the nerve to
leave their own fields and come north
it is a safe guess that they would both
be defeated this year by all three of
the big college teams Of this state.
According to the reports which have
been received, the game at Berkeley
yesterday was good one, though
Oregon did not succeed in holding
down the Californians quite as well as
did Willamette last Saturday. 1t Will
be remembered that the Willamette
goal was never in danger, while the
Berkleyites were twice on the five
ward line Of the men from Eugene, and
only failed 70 score through the lack
Of Judgment Of the California quarter
back. Neither did Oregon get so close
to the goal line Of the opponents as
did the Salem team.
Gordon Moores, Of Salem, who
played end on the Oregon team, was
the star Of the game. It is said that
he circled the end Of the opposing line
four times and made the only sensa.
tional run Of the day. Moores is a
son Of C. B. Moores Of this city, who
is a graduate Of Willamette Univer-
sity and a member Of the board Of
trustees Of the Salem institution, yet
his children 90 TO every other school
in the state except Willamette.
Friessell Oregon's new man from
Nevada, was also a star player, es-
pecially on the defensive, when he
would leap over the line and break up
the California plays.
It seems that Oregon was weak on
the offensive in the first half Of the
game, and it was only the magnificent
punting Of Captain Lamourette that
saved the oregonians from disastrous
defeat in this period. Their team work
was better in the last half. A Cali
fornia clearly had the better Of the
first half, so Oregon put up the better
game in the last half.
This game goes 10 show that the
game between Eugene and Salem,
which is to be played in this city No.
vember 4, will be a hummer. The
greatest ever played in this city with.
out doubt.

libraries. But two bids were sub
mitted, one by Gill, the Portland sta.

The establishment Of school Libraries
has been made possible by a law Of
the last legislature, which delegated
the duty TO a board to be created and
called the state library commission.
The law has also provided that funds
for the libraries be obtained by a tax
levy in each county of ten cents for
every child Of school age.
The only money available for the
purchase Of books this year viii come
from and benefit Marion, YamhiIl and
Douglas counties. These counties
were the only ones in the state that
provided for the library fund in the

About $1,000 in all will be expended
this year by the library commission.

Des Moines, "a, Special: Abraham
Simmer, of Waverly, most eccentric OF
American millionaire philanthropists,
has just given ST, 900 to the Sinai Hos
pital association of Milwaukee for a
new building, after attaching the novel
conditions he affixes to every gift.
Simmer is a follower of no religion
and a believer in no creed. He is a
philosopher, living upon the humblest
fare, wearing unpretentious clothes,
sleeping In a woodshed and trying 10
unburden himself of his wealth in a
way to alleviate the suffering in this
world.
He gave his home. worth $50, 900. to
the sisters of charity for a hospital,
but required that it be dedicated as a
non-sectarian hospital. He retired from
his apartments to the woodshed on the
rear OF the lot. where he now resides.
He say the associations OF the prop
erty are too dea for him to leave it en-
tirely, SO he has asked that he may
spend his remaining "a in keeping
up the property for the sisters.
To him money appeals little. He says
that for his happiness all he wants is
q crust Of bread, a place to lay his
head and clothes to keep him comfort
able. He says the happiest moment
of his life will be when he is to unbur-
den himself of all his wealth and start
or an equal footing with his fellow be-
ings in the struggle for sustenance.
He came to this state a oor boy.
Here he amassed wealth through bust
ness shrewdness and good fortune by
buying, feeding and selling cattle, then
clearing land and selling lumber, and
finally by investing his accumulations
In banks and real estate.
Helping old people is the hobby of
Mr.. Simmer. He has given thousands
of dollars for hospitals, homes for the
friendless and old peoples homes.

COMANCHE.
Powerful Old Horse Who Figured in
Custer Massacre.

y ~ Nv ~ "
Custer Massacre.
Houston Post: Some time ago / read in
the Post a notice Of a visit to a friend in
Houston of Billy MacGee-a survivor of
Clusters old command. Mention is made
in this article of a horse, the only survivor
of the Custer massacre. A perusal of this
article freshens the memory of an old
army woman and I send you the story.
Perhaps you may care to print 1t.
When Col. Reno's command reached the
Custer battlefield on the Little Big Horn
the only living thing IN all that silent sol
diery was the magnificent horse of the
martyred and lamented Capt. Keough-Co-
manche. He was g~rievously wounded
many times, but not fatally, and the grief
stricken soldiers were determined he
should live; SO they made a litter Of the
boughs of trees, covered with army
blankets" and with many tender hands
lifted Comanche on 1t and carried him ito
camp" a few miles away, where the army
surgeons and veterinarians soon had him
on the "convalescent list, and later on he
was discharged from the hospital well!
Recovered! Almost a miracle!
Sub~sequently-in the winter of 1878 and
1S79-my husband, a captain Of infantry,
United States army, served with the re-
habiiitated Seventh Cavalry at Fort
Meade, S. D., where Comanche also was
Stationed"
An order from the war department had
been received and read to the immortal
Seventh that henceforth Comanche was to
have special care, a padded stall, an ord
erly, especially detailed" to care for him,
and that ne err again should he be ridden,
but ~panoplied in boots, saddle and saber."
He was to be led at the head of the Sew
enth regiment of Cavalry when on parade,
In commemorate ton of those heroes who
died with Custer.
Comanche was a magnificent, powerful
horse, in color a claybank or buckskin,
with long, full or waving dark brown
name and tail. His coat was like yellow
satin; his scars scarcely discernible, and
he would rear, kick and squeal like a veri-
table colt out on a frolic.
One day General Sturgus, the then col
onel of the Seventh, and commanding Of
ficer of the garrison, was Oh the steps OF
our quarters" when the orderly with Co
manclo came sweeping down Officers
row." / said: "Oh, general, / do want to
put my arms around his neck" "Well,
you SHALL said he. Orderly, bring Co
manche here" and sure enough, by means
of a few Jumps OF sugar, / did put my
arms around his beautiful glossy neck,
stroked his honored scars, looked into his
soft, fawn-like eyes, wondering, II he
could speak, what he might tell us of the
unstoried battle.
That he had memories" also I am sure,
for the troopers used to tell that when an
Indian came in smelling distance of him
Comanche would snort, rear and tremble,
his beautiful eyes distended, staring,
watching in the Indians direction for
what horror of that ensanguined day?
Dear, beautiful Comanche. Only a few
years ago | read that you also had passed
from "life's feeting Dream perchance %
again to join your friends of the long ago.
Honor to you, and sweet peace and rest,
for you also were a heroi
