edy that we know is right-that we can back mp with all our reputation for hon. esty and square-dealing.
 And wouldn't you rather buy that kind of remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold us responsible than to hold no one responsible? We are right here, right where you can get at Us every day in the week, right where one false move on our part will bring upon us your condem- nation, the loss of your friendship, your patronage, your influence. Can we afford to tell you anything that you will learn later is not absolutely true9
 Are you not safer in taking our word tor the merits of an article, than you are to rely on the printed statement of a pa- tent medicine manufacturer. whom you never even saw and probably never will?
 Common sense most emphatieally tells you that we cannot afford 10 depart one hairs breadth from the rigid truth.
 None of us can deny that there is such disease known as "catarrh." Those who have it. or who have had it, know that it is one of the hardest diseases to cure.
 Perhaps the worst thing about catarrh aS itS plSSdiSHSc. fAllIlOSI everyone especially i'll climate like ours--has catarrh in some form or another. That is what has made the "catarrh cure" busi- ness so profitable. There are so many thousands of cases of the disease and it is so hard to cure, that the patent medicine manufacturers have reaped harvest in preparing remedies that appeal to this large class of sufferers.
 One of the most serious things about catarrh is that it breaks down the sys- tenn. so that the sufferer becomes prey to other diseases. This fact has led the proprietors of so many "catarrh cures" to advertise their remedies as a specific for almost every disease under the sun.
 We have ONE catarrh cure that we are willing to say to you; "We know this is all right. Take it home and use it with the full assurance that if it does not cure you, you can bring it back to us and we will promptly refund your money That catarrh cure is

Every Man His Own Doctor.

An average man cannot afford to employ a physician for every slight ailment or injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford to neg feet them, as so slight an injury as the scratch of pin has been known to cause the loss of limb. Hence every man must from necessity be his own doctor for this class of ailments. Success often depends upon prompt treatment, which can only be had when suitable medicines are kept at hand. Chamberlain'S Remedies have been in the market for many years and enjoy a good reputation.
 Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel com plaints.
 Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough.
 Chamberlain's Pain Balm tan anti septic liniment) for cuts, bruises, burns, sprains, swellings, lame back and rheumatic pains.
 Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets for constipation, biliousness and stomach troubles.
 Chamberlain's Salve for diseases of the skin.
 One bottle of each of these five preparations costs but $l.25. For sale by J. T. Sanders.

To-day we want to talk to you about 'fcatarrh cures"

During the past few months we, have been publishing what scSus of our good friends have called 'heart-to-heart talks" on patent medicines.
 That name suits Us all right-"hcart- to-heart talks" is just what we have intended. There can't be anything more serious to sick man or sick woman than his ailment and the remedies he or She takes to cure it.
 Our talks have been "heart- to heart" Every word we have printed has been written Tn absolute earnestness and sim cerity, and judging from what our GUS toners tell us, we have not been talking III vain. We are convinced that our frankness has been appreciated, and that our suggestions have been welcomed which naturally encourages us to con tinue
 To-day, and perhaps for some time to come, we want to talk about that big class of remedies known generally as "catarrh cures"
 Broadly speaking these are the patent medicines that have been the chief tar gets for the attacks of the Ladies' Home Journal" Golfers Weekly" and
 
 lively warfare against patent medicine abuses.
 As we have pointed out in previous talks, it is not our business to pass judg- ment on the crusade of these we'll known highly-respected publications. ilhe ~iblic alone must be the judge and jury. Our business, as we see it, is to carry in stock a complete line of patent medicines, and to sell those medicines at the lowest possible price.
 We sell hundreds-yes, thousands of bottles of so-called "catarrh cures." and know nothing of their ingredients. The manufacturers advertise them, the public demands them; we order them from the manufacturers, and sell them at the low est price. That is absolutely as far as our knowledge goes. The manufacturer keeps his formula a secret. It may be good, or it may not-we don't know, and we have no means of finding out.
 Naturally, we would rather sell rem-

THOMPSON NOT CLEAR.
Father Fights Again to Save Him from
Life Term.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb 5.-Prose-
cutting Attorney Macintosh, Of King
county, at 2:3O this afternoon filed In
formation charging Chester Thompson
who was acquitted Saturday on the
grounds Of insanity Of the murder Of
Judge George Meade Emory, of Sc
attic, with being a dangerous person.
The result Of his action will probably
be that Superior Judge Smell will or
der hearing to determine whether or
not the charge is well founded, and If
such proves to be the case, Chester
Thompson can be sent to the peni-
tentiary for life.
w. Fl. Thompson, father Of Chester,
argued and pleaded against such ac-
ton, asking the judge to take the only
other course possible under the law
discharge the young man and allow
his father to keep the promise made to
place his son in an asylum. MackIn-
tosh objected, however, and the mat
ter is being discussed at further
length this afternoon. s.

working on the telephone lines that

recent storm, when the accident hap

near the top when the strap on his

from the spur, and, losing his balance,
Bailey plunged feet foremost towards
the earth. His fall was broken by
his clothes catching on foot spike
protrudlng from the pole and TO this
he undoubtedly owes his life.

SHIP HARVEST QUEEN LOST
Goes Up River and Authorities Lose
Track of Her-Wires Leading Out
of Portland Are Nearly
All Down.

PORTLAND, Feb. 5.--What untold
perils hundreds of people now storm
bound along the reaches of the Upper
Columbia are facing may only be con-
jectured here. They are as isolated
from all means Of communication from
Portland as If they were people Of a
lonely isle Of the sea
What the fate of the steamer Har-
vest Queen. which left here for Bcnnc-
vile, yesterday, is no one knows.
Hundreds of anxious people here are
hoping she is safe, but there is no
news to comfort them, nor none to be
had.
Trains along the 0. R. & n. are
lost, swallowed up completely. between
and behind rock-slides hemmed In by
washouts of tracks and by ruined and
unsafe bridges.
The Harvest Queen is known to have
reached Bonneville at o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Grave-like silence
has followed her subsequent move
ments.
What work has been done toward re-
moving the debris and snowslides COW
ering the o. R. & n. cannot he known
until she is reported, for she hastened
up the river to see just what the sit
uation is and to rescue the storm
bound passengers from the hemmed-in
trains, not one Of which has been able
to get through for several days.
In the event the Chinook prevalent
here is felt along the Columbia, it is
feared the snow will go out with a
rush, and damage may result more
serious than that wrought by the snow,
in which case the road may be out Of
commission until near the end Of the
week. No trains have left Portland
since Saturday night, and the inabil-
ity Of the operating department to es-
tablish communication by water
around the blockade precludes any
chances of passengers or mail getting
through.
One of the stalled trains left The
Dalles yesterday for Bonneville, having
aboard $50 passengers, but it proceed
ed but a short distance when snow

Russia has a very short crop and
will have to purchase millions of
bushels of grain to keep her
subjects from starving. Eng

about thirty million bushels of
