LETTERS FROM ELIZA.

The wiggle-waggles have issued
ano saer manifesto to the republican
voters. and in it they SAY, "the
primary election law must be main
ttained, and the only way t.. main
tain it is to elect every republican
icandidate, county and otherwise
Of course, the wiggle-wagg1es want
THE primary law. It is the slick
est thing for their purposes they
ever struck. With it, they jobbed
Bill Jolly, and horsed Andy Viii
liams to a standstill, and along
with these two men jobbed every
one of the 800 of the sovereign
voters that supported both. Not
one of thess republicans had a
chancesfor his life. in voting The
thing was already fixed by the
/ wiggls.waggles before the voting
time came. They knew and
boasted beforehand that George
Smith would be the nominee for
commissioner, Woodward the man
for judge, and Johnnie Allen for
precinct committeeman. 1t was
also boasted on the street that Bel
knap would never be nominated for
senator and that if he should be, a
democrat not Belknap, would be elect
ed. All thisis history. All this treach-
cry shameful as tits, is fact. The fig.
,ures at the court house don't lie.
They show why Belknap, why Jol.
ly, why Williams and the others
are down and out. and how the
gang nearly fixed Hawley with a
democrat, from Washington county.
Hence, the manifestoes. calling
on the brethren to ''stand in"
The bunch jobs 'em, gouges 'em,
chisels 'em. gives 'em swift kick,
and then sends 'em letters full of
affection and love from Eliza and
the children, and with slush about
the-aeaF cid party, to -get-~~,em-to.
"stand in'' and be jobbed again.

conceded that Thomas Jones is ex.
actly the man for the position, and
that is why he is on the ticket for
reelection without opposition. He
is member of the county board of

identified by law with the bridge

potency in these regards, Mr..

ATTACKING CHAMBERLAIN.

ATTACKING CHAMBERLAIN.
1t is general belief that A. J..
Johnson, republican = candidate
for senator, makes grave
mistake when he attacks Governor
Chamberlain. There are some
things that even Senator" John
son cannot wipe out. It was Gov
fernor Chamberlain that loaned the
state school money. Before Gov
Eernor. Chamberlain's time the state
treasurer had been loaning the
money and pocketing the interest.
|$2S, ,ooosa year, and nobody denies
|. in the court house at Corvallis,
Governor Chamberlain four years
ago promised that the school funds
should be loaned, they have been
loaned, and as result, $4,000 ad.
ditional per year goes to the school
children of Oregon. 1t is equally
true that Governor Chamberlain We
toed 2e bills and no republican
governor would have done it. be-
cause to have done so would have
been to arouse the ire of the repub-
lican legislature and through that
be ruined politically. 1t is true
that every one of those 20 vetoes
saved dollars and dollars to the
taxpayers, reducing the state taxes
of Benton to about $12,o 900, the
lowest they have been in fifteen
years. 1t is true that Governor
Chamberlain cleaned out the state
land Office, got land thieves indict-
ed, exposed frauds, and listed and
brought into the market lands to
the value of $195, 900. These and
scores of other acts by Governor
Chamberlain are known to all the
people of Benton county, and Mr..
Johnson reckons wrong when he
attacks the governor. Governor
Chamberlain lived for something
like 20 years almost within a stones
throw of Corvallis and it is the gov
ernor's old neighbors that Mr..
Johnson is talking to, when he
makes his attacks.
The prettiest and best set of rec
ords in the state of Oregon is In the
county clerks Office of Benton.
They are typewriter, and as neat
and correct as records can be made.
To add to their great value, Is the
fact that they are accurate, for the
man that made these new records
lis Victor Moses who is one of the
Emost accurate clerks in the country.
These records that he makes are
the pride Of every Benton county
ite who has ever seen them, and
the envy of people from other
counties. He makes these records
with his own book type writer,
which he purchased at the price of
$175 and has placed at the disposal
of the county. 1t certainly seems
as though an official that does all
these things for the people of the
county deserves to be given another
term. As matter OF naked fact,
ism it wrong to vote against him
when in the service he has given,
there is so much to applaud!

HERE is an ideal arrangement for
the county court of Benton: Peter
Rickard, fa,m,r, commissioner
who resides In Southern Benton, 10
miles distant from the county seat;
B. E~Wilsea, county judge, Eesid-
ing outside the city limits of Cor.
vallis, with property in town and a
farm four miles west of the county;
Paul Dodele, farmer, residing in
northern Benton, 10 miles from the
county seat. By that arrangement,
every interest Of every section Of
the whole eourty would be repre-
sented and provided for, and there
would be no close cooperation with
a judge from the Third ward and a
commissioner from the Second ward
in the city o! Corvallis.

OPEN PUBLICITY THR BEST
GFTM RH RTY N ~ NEDFTs

When the maker OF q medicine, sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully Into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on its bottle wrappers,
q full list OF all It's ingredients IN plain
English, this action on his part Is the
best possible evidence that he Is not
afraid to have the search light OF inyAs-
tigation turned full upon his formula
and that IL will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.
DR.. Pierce's Fayorte Prescription for the
cure OF the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional arrangements OF the or
gans distinctly feminine, Is the only medl-
cine put up for sale through druggists for
womans special use, the maker of which
is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that 1t
is made wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that 1t contains no pol
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no mar
cotics and no alcohol-pure, triple-refined
Elycerine, of proper strength being used
instead of the commonly employed alco.
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found in
the roots of the American forest plants
employed. 1t Is the only medicine for
women's peculiar diseases, sold by drug
gists that does not contain large per-
centage of alcohol, which is In the long
run so harmful to woman's delicate nerv-
Gus system. Now, glycerine Is perfectly
harmless, and serves valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all Its own,
and besides II enhances the curative
effect OF the other ingredients entering
into the rFayorlte Prescription"
Some OF the ablest medical writers and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several ingredients Of which "Fa-
vorite Prescription" 10 composed - rec
ommending them for the cure Of the
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine Is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such pro
1esstor,dt endorsement-worth more than
any number of ordinary testimonials. II
interested, send name and address to Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for his little
book OF extracts from the works of
eminent medical writers and teachers,
endorsing the several ingredients and
telling Just what DR.. Pierce's medicines
are made of It's free for the asking.

Death of Rev. e t. Adams.

Rev. Enos r Adams, one of the best
known Methodist ministers of Maine,
died at his home in Winthrop Saturday
morning at 2 o'clock from a stroke of
apoplexy, aged 81. Mr. Adams had
just returned from the conference at
Portland, where he had taken an active
part. He was born in Wilton. He was
licensed to preach in 1856, and joined
the Methodist conference In 1855. In
1865 he became a member of the Netho-
dist Episcopal church, and was admitted
to the Maine conference the same year.
In 1885 he was appointed presiding elder
of the Lewiston district, serving six
years In that capacity. He was pastor
of the Park street Methodist church of
Lewiston for three years and at two
different periods WAS pastor of the
Methodist church In Winthrop, once for
two years and the second time for one
year. During his residence at Winthrop,
to which place he removed to Scion, he
occupied occasionally the pulpits at
Wayne and No. Leeds. He was about
to move to Wilton when stricken. All
the household goods were packed ready
for shipment.
Mr.. Adams came to Skowhegan as
pastor of the Centenary Methodist
Church in April 1899 and remained for
two years Subsequent to this he went
to Scion where he remained for about
the same period, i'll health, however,

Neuralgia in any form is painful but
when it attacks the heart il is frequently
fatal. Complicated with indigestion Of
a form that affected the vital organ it
threatened serious consequences i'll an in
stance just reported. The case is that Of
Mr.. +. L. Graves, of Pleasanthill, La,
who tells of his trouble and cure as
follows:
travelled considerably, was exposed
to all kiudsof weather and was irregular
III my sleeping and eating. | suppose
this was the cause of my sickness, at
any rate, in May, 1905, had got SO bad
that l was compelled to quit work and
take to my bed. l had a good doctor
and took his medicine faithfully but
grew worse. l gave up hope Of getting
better and my neighbors thought l was
surely going to die
Il had smothering spells that it Is
awful to recall. Ny heart futtered and
then seemed to cease beating. l could
not lie on my left side at all. Ny hands
aud feet swelled aud So did my face.
After reading about DIR. Williams Pink
Pills in a newspaper | decided to try
them and they suited my case exactly.
Before long | could see an Improvement
and after taking a few boxes l was ell
tirely cured. l am glad to make this
statement and wish it could cause every
sufferer to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills do not simply
deaden pain; they cure the trouble
which causes the pain. They are guar
anteed to contain no narcotic, stimulant
or opiate. Those who take them run no
danger Of forming any drug habit. The
pills are blood and nerve tonic and
they cured Mr.. Graves because they fed
the nerves through the blood. They act
directly on the blood and it is only through
the blood that any medicine can reach
the nerves. In this way they have cured
the most severe nervous disorders such
as partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
St Vitus dance and all sorts Of nervous
weakness They are useful in a special
way to women and growing girls DR..
Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, 30 cents per box, six
boxes for 81 30, by the DIR. Williams Med
icine Co., Schenectady, NY.
