Liver DeScribed-HOW
Pe-ru-na Relieves Such Cases.

A sluggish liver is brought about
in the following way: There is a
catarrhal condition Of the mucous
membrane lining the stomach.
This catarrhal condition spreads
downward to that portion OF the
alimentaTy canal just below the
stomach known as the duOdenum.
Into the duOdenum empty the
bile ducts. These bile ducts are
lined with mucous membrane con
tinuOus with the mucous mem
brane of the duodenum. The
catarrhal Inflammation therefore
gradually spreads from the men,
ranes Of the stomach and duOde-
mum into the bile duets.
This thickens the mucous mem
branes and clogs up the ducts.
The bile is then turned back into
the liver and the whole circulation
of the liver impeded, producing
what is known as a sluggish liver.
Cathartics bring only temporary
relief. They slush out the liver for
the time and relieve this sluggish
ness, but il has been the universal
experience Of mankind that the
sluggishness will return very
quickly.
The only permanent relief is OBJ
tanned from a course of treatment
that tends to allay the catarrhal
inflammation. Thousands Of people
have found Peruna to be such a
remedy. It removes the cause of
the sluggishness Of the liver by

a sluggish liver.

OREGON HAS ANSWERED.

1t is to be hoped that the government
has done all that il necessary in Ore
gon in the matter Of land frauds. Ore
gon has made full and terrible response
to the tremendous accusations Of the
time, and taken on the ample fold of
her reproach and will suffer enough,
without the further pressing Of the
record. 1t will require time of the am
plest sort to live down the stigma,
and surely she will do it if only the
public shame is diverted and the in
terest centered in other states equally
guilty. Besides unless the government
gets to work elsewhere, the statute Of
limitations viii be operative, and this
is an expedient no guilty community
should be allowed in view of the un-
considerable nature of the prosecutions
here. We are hoping for freedom from
this miserable incubus and justice re-
quires that the onus be transferred to
other culpable quarters.

A NEIGHB0RLY HAMMER.

The tragedy at st. Paul in this coun.
ty. on Tuesday night, froms one of the
saddest Of records. The young mar
shal who lost his life was an excellent
young man, fearless and ready to do
his duty, which was the cause of his
death. The other who was wounded,
was one of the characters who started
the fighting which resulted in the trag-
edy and as he was pursuing riotous
course, his fate was to have been ex-
pected.
II ia said the toughs who started the
trouble came from Astoria, and gen.
tleman from that city who was in Sa-
lem yesterday, said he was not at all
surprised He said that as result Of
the vetoing Of the Astoria charter two
years ago by the governor, the political
forces in control Of that city are run
ming a wide-open town, the most open
of any city on the coast, the natural
product of which is crime and crimin-
ais. He also complained that when a
desperate criminal character, such as
Paddy Lynch, is secured, prosecuted,
convicted and sentenced, the governors
pardoning power steps in and turns him
loose, thus giving further encourage
ment to the tough element to proceed
with their widest orgies.
Thus it appears that things with only
an apparently remote interest to Mar
ion county have worked around to be-
come of grim local Importance, and
aside from the grief and horror Of
the occurrence among the residents of
st. Paul, the taxpayers Of Marion
county will have a heavy bill Of costs
in the resultant legal investigation
