Cupid Defeated.
Printers Ink.)

A half-repentant bachelor, with quite
pile of rocks,
Dropped in, one day, beside the way,
and bought pair of socks.
Arrived at home-romantic joy!-he
wond'ringly drew out
A note deep hidden in the hose-from
some fair hand, no doubt!
I'm twenty years of age" it read,
"and called a country belle.
With you I'd like to correspond--if
you will never tell.
My object matrimony is, and yours, I
hope, the same.
If you'll address me, I'll respond, "
and then she wrote her name.
On fire with hope, the bachelor that
very evening wrote,
And folded his epistle with kiss in
side the note.
Sly Cupid had him in his mesh-no
very clever catch,
For, after all, quite foolish is a half
repentant bach.
But oh how sheepish did he feel
when from the fair unknown
This answer came, to quench his flame :
Gan old maid 1 have grown!
Alas twas forty years ago I planned
that fond surprise,
Defeated by a heartless wretch who
wouldn't advertise.

SAYS LETTER WAS FORGED
John Fletcher Declares He Did Not
Attempt to Commit Suicide.

Developments tend to show that
John Fletcher, who was found badly
wounded with bullet in his head,
near Cottage Grove last Thursday, did
not commit suicide, but was shot by
his friend, John Branton, ostensibly
for the purpose of securing insurance
money.
Fletcher, who was badly injured,
states that he was returning from the
Woodmen meeting of Wednesday
night with Branton. when the latter
borrowed his revolver, saying he
saw a panther. A minute later he
himself was struck in the head by the
bullet.
The letter addressed to the city
marshal which read: 81 am tired of
life, I'm going to kill myself, you will
find my body on the road between
town and Branton's ranch. John
Fletcher" " is pronounced by Fletcher
a forgery, and is believed to have been
written by Branton.
Fletcher has $4,000 life insurance
made payable to Branton on his death.
A brother of Branton was hanged at
Eugene a few years ago for murder.
Authorities believe Branton is respon-
sible for the attempted murder Of
Fletcher.

Many a man is looking out for his
health, but looking for disease in the
wrong direction. He takes medicine for
his n@rveS, which seem "gone to pieces"
He "doctors' for his heart, which is
acting i4rcgularly. He constantly stirs
up his liver with pills and powder. But
he does not get any better He is look.
ing for the cause of his complaints in
th& wrong di:ection.
1t is a c inmon thing for some one
who has usld DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery for "stomach trouble" to
find that when the diseased stomach is
cured the ""eak" " heart is made sound,
the slug ish liver stimulated, and the
throbbin9 nerves tranquilized. This fact
alone suggests the truth which every
leading medical scientist knows and rec
ogiIizeS-that diseases which seem re-
mote from the stomach are often caused
by the disease of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. When
the, diseased stomach and the digestive
and nutrltve sgstem are cured of disease,
the other organs are cured with them.
Food IS the basis of life and of
strength. But it is not the quantity of
food eaten which supports the life and
health OF the body. The body is sus-
tanned by that portion of the food which
after BENZ eaten is converted into
nourlslilnent and properly assimilated
When tlIc stomach and its allied ORGANS
OF digestion and nutrition are diseased
or "weak, " only part of the food eaten
Is converted into nutrition, and the BODY
and It's organs are therefore only partly
nourshed. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med.
lcal Discovery cures the diseases of the
stomach and digestive and nutritiye svs-
TEN which prevent the proper nourish-
ment of the body. In that wav the
body is once more strengthened in the

The railroad companies have ex-
tended the time limit for the shipping
of exhibits from st. Louis to Portland
until the latter part of March. This
will serve materially to better the ap-
pearance for the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position, as it will afford exhibitors
more time in which to assemble and
pack them.
