COMPLIMENTS MR.. OSBORNE

The Bluffs Weekly Times, pub
lished at Bluffs. H., pays the fol-
lowing nice compliment to one of
independence county's good citi-
zens;
1t is with pleasure that we an
nounce to the many friends of our
former resident, William n. Os-
borne, that he has been nominated
by the Republican party of indie
pendence county, Arkansas, as
their candidate for the office of
County Clerk, and the fact of the
nomination coming to Mr.. Osborne
without solicitation or any effort
on his part and in fact was a sur
prise to him, clearly demonstrates
that the new friends Mr.. Osborne
has made in his new home appre-
ciate his ability and worth as cit
izen as his old friends in Illinois
did and we can assure the voters,
Republicans and Democrats of
that county that if elected to the
office they will find in him care
ful, thorough, able, efficient and
accommodating public servant.
Mr.. Osborne was born, lived
and grew to manhood in our midst
and we all know him favorably
and we'll as an energetic, honest
young business man, starting out
in life as poor boy with no CAPT.
tai but with genial, atfable dis
position, honesty of purpose and
willingness TO work, he soon by
economical methods acquired suffi-
Gent funds with which to engage
in the mercantile business on his
own account and opened a grocery
store with small stock and by
his industrious habits and accom-
modating honest methods soon en-
ioyed the fruits of his efforts by
receiving the confidence of the
people which he never betrayed
and was awarded by a liberal pat
ronage from the community until
failing health caused him to close
out his business here and seek a
more suitable climate which was
greatly regretted by all his friends
and patrons.
Knowing Mr.. Osborne as long
and favorably as we have we do
not hesitate to recommend him and
his candidacy to the favorable and
most gracious consideration of his
party in Arkansas, and while we
are not of the same political faith
as Mr.. Osborne and have always
supported Democratic doctrine
and principles, we can recommend
Mr.. Osborne to men of all parties
as being a thoroughly honest, con-
sentative, able. efficient, careful
and accommodating gentlemen
and should he succeed in the cleo
ton to the office for which he has
been nominated by his party, we
are firm in our convictions that
the people who will have business
with the office will find him an eff
hcient, accommodating official. >

The M0desty of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the
indicate questions, the obnoxious ex-
aminatiOns, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential in the treatment of diseases of
women Yet, if help can be had, it is
better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble
is that so often the woman undergoes all
the annoyance and shame for nothing.
Thousands of women who have been
cured by DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton write in appreciation of the cure
which dispenses with the examinations
and local treatments. There is no other
medicine so sure and safe for delicate
women as "Favorite Prescription" It
cures facilitating drains, irregularity and
female weakness. It always helps. It
almost always cures. It is strictly nom
alcoholic, non secret, all it's ingredients
being printed on it's bottlewrapper; con-
tains no deleterious or habit-forming
drugs, and every native medicinal root
entering into it's composition has the full
endorsement of those most eminent in the
several schools of medical practice. Some
of these numerous and strongest of pro-
fessional endorsements of it's ingredients,
will be found in pamphlet wrapped
around the bottle, also in booklet mailed
free on request, by DR.. r. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y. These professional en-
dorsements should have far more weight
than any amount of the ordinary lay, or
non professional testimonials.

Sinclair was known in the service
as scrubs" from a fondness for old
clothes sat in his motor car wanting
for Featherston, at the corner where
the public conveyances stop. Behind
him the Ashford Road ran past the
school of Musketry, in front lay
Hythe, struggled and extensive, and di-
vided in interest between the sea and
the school.
Featherston was in no hurry, and
Sinclair, in multi and at peace with lie
whole world, hummed 1azily % him
self. In front of him were two shabby
motor cars which ran to To;kestone
at the service of the public He VIII
dered idly why Featherston had chosen
that corner at which to join him. The
petrol was evil smelling, and the en-
gines, worn out in private service, rat
tied unpleasantly in his ears. Possibly
though the contrast was hatterlng to
his own car. He pursued the subject
with languorous humor. The disad-
vantages of life were subjective pleas

pleasantly fresh-five years in India

shrilly as to the advantages and dis
advantages of front and back seats,

Toward him from Hythe came man
and woman The woman was slight,

pink sunshade between the sun and her
face Sinclair was on the side of the
sun and so left to irritating speculation.
The man, we'll groomed and in fannels,
was little hamboyant. While walking
he leaned toward the woman. In his
attitude were combined buster and
it was subtly suggestive only-over
familiarity. The woman appeared to
be distressed; she moved every now

doubtedly piqued, his manner became
more marked, his actions exaggerated.
Presently the man touched the woman's
arm and she drew back with an uncon-
tro1lable gesture of repugnance. All
the while the sunshine screened her
face from Sinclair, fact which pricked
him to a more vivid interest. The
mans face was in full view, flushed and

black mustache was jerked back from
the teeth with an unpleasant imitation
of the snarl of brute. His eyes, bold
and insolent, were kept upon the hid
den face of his companion.
Now, a man betters his good and
doubles his evil in India Possibly
the sun ripens the salient qualities, but
the effect is of more Importance than
the cause Sinclair was a clean souled
man, who was a soldier from love and
a gentleman of necessity. And with
his keen soldering was united fresh
sentiment untainted by Simla and I'M
choked by scandal. Therefore the
mans attitude toward the woman rous-
ed in him a healthy longing to kick.
There is story still told in the mess
room of the Back to Backs which deals
with Sinclair as a fresh faced subaltern
and the horse whipping he gave a
deputy commissioner. The woman, a
sister of a friend, was known only
slightly to "Grubs," which was charac-
teristic of his impartiality The matter
was hushed up to some extent, but the
D. C.s conversation improved from
that day. The story is illustrative of
the character of Sinclair.
When the TWO were nearly abreast
of Sinclair it was evident that matters
had reached climax. The man moved
toward his companion suddenly and
caught her arm. A moment later she
had sped across the road.
do you go back to Folkestone
now?' She spoke calmly. Sinclair
looked down at a flushed face, oval,
with straight nose, a small mouth
and resolute little chin. In her agi-
tation she had mistaken his car for a
public conveyance and him for a hired

with grim chuckle as coming from

He was busy with the car for few
minutes, and they swept up the high
street at exhilarating speed. It seemed
to Sinclair that his heart was singing,
and that the refrain was, AT last, oh,
at long, long last!'
Clear of Hythe, he stole glance at
his companion. Her brow was wrinkl-
ed in perplexity She looked away
from him hurriedly, surveyed the car,
and looked back again.
"This is not a public conveyance,
she said suddenly.

"But-but you said'-she paused in
dismay.

at her. "You asked whether 1 was
going to Folkestone, and I said l was.

You must put me down." Her
voice was determined, and she changed
her position from a lounging one to
one OF severe uprightness.
"Why?' he asked "You want to get
back to Folkestone, want to go there,
and there is really no danger. 1 am
quite passable chauffeur"
II don't know you. It is an absurd
mistake.''
"A delightful mistake,'' he amended.
"A mistake-never mind the qualif-

Uufailing Signs Say Hard Wlater.

The weather man Of the Moro Oh
server has been keeping tab on the
weather prophecies In various sec
items and as a result gives out the fol
lowing forecast for hard winter:
In Yamhill county jorn husks are
reported IS inches thick, and the
stalks all lean to the west.
The frog S around Albina have be.
gun searching the bottoms of mill
ponds and mud holes to find out the
deepest places.
The geese, ducks and chickens In
Bi .elow are growing coat of fur un-
der their feathers and are rubbing
borax Oh their feet to harden them
up.
All the one eyed owls In and around
Bend are leaving the country a month
earlier than usual, and the bobtailed
SQUIRRELS are laying In sweet potatoes,
as we'll as nuts, for winter provisions.
A Prineville farmer who has taken
the trouble to investigate has found
that all the tosdstools on the old fall
en- timber in Crook county, have
wrinkles In them. The last time this
happened il is remembered that the
weather that winter froze the handles
off the plows.
Rabbits are sitting around Lone
Rock with a bumped up look to them
and field mice have wrinkles in their
tails. IL this means anything, ii
means 20 degrees below zero from No
vember to May.
Town cows are hunting around for
pieces of flannel to wIap up their
tails, and hogs are roofing their way
into the middle of the straw stacks In
Umatilla county, which is never
failing sign that the highways will be
blocked with snow for weeks at a
time.

Hunting Good III Oregon.

The deer season, which has Just
closed was the most successful for the
big game hunters of Oregon Of any
enjoyed foi years. 1t is estimated
that fully 1000 deer we're killed In
the mountains of Josephine county
alone.
In one district alone some 200 deei
we're killed. They are far more plen.
tiful than they have been for many
years. There Is an abundance of feed
and all deer killed were in prime con.
dltion.
Hunters believe that the continued
enforcement Of the game law will re.
suit In the continuation of the pres
ent abundant big game supply fol
many years to come, as it will be
many years before the mountain sec.
tions of Southern Oregon are thickly
settled.
Besides deer, many black bear,
brown and cinnamon bears have been
killed, aud as there is no closed sea-
son for these the hunting of them will
continue till "denning up time" OIL
till late in December. The abundance
of sweet aeorns gives plenty of feed
for the bears, and they are now, and
will continue to be In prime condit

second quest ion is whether Dietcb has
the right to destroy such fruit al
Broetie has, which we assert Is not

In the suit filed by Broetie yester-
day for an injunction perpetually re-
stIaining Deitch from destroying his
fruit, it is alleged that Deitch has
been interfering with Broetje in the

annoyed him. Part of Broetje's fruit
has already been destroyed, says the
complaint, and Deitch threa ems to

and destroy Broetje's business en-

Judge Sears issued temporary in
