A Wouan's Back

Has many aches and pains caused by
weaknesses and falling, or other displace-
ment, of the pelvic organs. Other symp-
toms Of female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness, imaginary specks or
dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw-
ing sensation in stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs, faint spells with general weakness.
If any considerable number of the above
symptoms are present there is no remedy
that will give quicker relief or more per-
manent cure than DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t has record of over forty
years of cures, 1t is the most potent
invigorating tonic and strengthening ner-
vine known to medical science. 1t is made
of the glyceric extracts of native medici-
nal roots found in our forests and con-
tains not drop of alcohol or harmful, or
habit-forming drugs. Its ingredients are
all printed on the bottle-wrapper and at
tested under oath as correct.
Every ingredient entering into VIA
vorite Prescription has the written en-
dorsement of the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools of prac-
tice-more valuable than any amount of
non-professional estimonials-though the
latter are not lacking, having been con-
tributed voluntarily by grateful patients
in numbers to exceed the endorsements
given to any other medicine extant for
the cure of woman's ills.
You cannot afford to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as a substitute
for this well proven remedy OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION, even though the dealer may
make little more profit thereby. Your
interest in regaining health is paramount
to any selfish interest of his and it is an
insult to your intelligence for him to try
to palm off upon you substitute. You
know what you want and it is his busi-
ness to supply the article called for.

Horace W. Havens, who was a
candidate on the Democratic ticket
two years ago for secretary OF
state and who is again seeking the
same nomination, has an enviable
record In official life. As deputy
under Secretaries Whipple and
Beckwith, Mr.. Havens became
conversant with every detail Of the
work comprising the state secre-
tary's duties and is peculiarly
qualified to creditably fill the Of
fee. The gentleman is known
personally to many in this county,
where he has conducted mining
operations and still has interests.

tial majority two years ago and
could be depended upon to do Sc

The more we read of the life of
Russell Sage, the multi-million-
aire who died last week, the more
fully we are convinced that the
world is better off without him.
Sage accumulated a vast fortune,
being a shrewd stock broker, and
while amassing his wealth prac-
ticed the most rigid economy
economy that any person, save a
miser such as the dead Croesus
was, would be ashamed to practice.
He denied himself not only lux
uries, but the necessities of life.
A fifteen-cent dinner or free
lunch was all he would eat, unless
invited to dine at someone else's
expense, on which occasion his ap-
petite would equal a mans whose
health was the best. A cheap
suit of clothes that any of us
would bc afraid to wear for fear OF
being caught in rain storm and
having it washed off our backs,
was good enough for him. He
wasn't a philanthropist in life as
his actions demonstrated, his wife
on one occasion having to coax
and beg him for one solid year to
induce MIN to make a donation to
charity. In leaving his fortune to
be distributed among the poor and
needy he is not deserving of any
particular credit for his benevo-
lence, as it was not the spirit OF
generosity that moved him. Death
relieved him of it and he couldn't
take it with him, hence the separ-
alton from his coveted riches.
Death truly comes as n God-send
when it relieves the world of a
man Of Sage's type.

The Silverton Standard advo-
Gates the denomination of prac-
tically the entire state Democratic
ticket of two years ago with one or
two exceptions, holding that with
a somewhat intimate knowledge of
the gross frauds committed in the
last election, Governor Adams was
not alone the victim of the count
ing-out process. The suggestion
of the Silverton paper to have the
same men run again is good one.
All Of them are a credit to the
Democratic party, and are men
whom the people could elect with
pleasure and satisfaction in aveng-
ing the outrage perpetrated by
the corporationists two years ago
in stealing the governmental chair
and doubtless other offices.
