The Corvallis Times contains the
following in regard to the case Of

attracted considerable attention and
interest in the circuit court session
here last week:
The case of NJ. Bailey VS.. Benton
county, in which the plaintiff is suing
for $17OO damages for injuries re-
ceived May 4. 1907, was called at
Dallas last Monday. After wrang-
ling a couple of days the matter
wound up in a sort of tiasco, as a
result Of defective complaint. Mr..
Bailey's attorneys asked for thirty
days in which to file an amended COM
plant and Benton county's represent
atives asked for 80 days in which to
reply. In case Mr.. Bailey puts up
money to cover the costs Of the case
thus far, the suit will be tried in
December, otherwise it will probably
be thrown out.
Mr.. Bailey belongs In Fairmount
district. On May 4, 1907, a small
bridge near Albany, over which he
was driving with load of wood, col
lapsed and Mr.. Bailey was thrown to
the ground He alleges that he and

THE Story ofa Medicine.

It's name--rGolden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly Forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-reined glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed uGoldcn Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion. or
dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousnesS and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
It ever since has bSen, without particle
of alcohol ih its maRS.up.
ents. printed dfi ~--eeyeX wrapper,
will show that it is made from the most
valuable medicinal ro6tsN found growing
in our American foreStS9 AL these In
gradients have received the SI[oQgsst ed:
d0rSement from the leading medical sx:
Nedicd who recQmmeDd- them as The very
6eSf remedies for the diseases for which
SGOIdep MelIIcaI-QlScQYeryn Is adYIsed:
4 little book OF these endorsements has
been compiled by DR.. R. V. Pierce, OF
Buffalo, N. Y, and will be mailed free to
any one asking same by postal card, or |
letter addressed to the Doctor as above. |
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ
ent schools of practice, it will be found
that the ingredients composing the Gold
en- Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also. o. the cure Of all ca
tarrhal. bronchial and throat affections,
with catarrhal discharges,
loarseneSs, sore throat, lingering, or
lang-on- coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, if not promptly and
treated are liable TO terminate
n consumption. Take DR.. Pierce'S Dis
.overy in time and persevere in its use
Until You give it a fair trial and it is not
likely to diSg ppoint Too much must not
,e expected OF it. 1t will not perform
miracles. i will not cure consumption
n its advanced stages. No medicine will.
I uiit cure .he affections that lead up to
consumption, if taken in time.

The purchase price will materially
reduce the bonded Indebtedness and
the city will be in a position to embark
upon necessary Improvements, such
as sewers. paving. etc., which will
confer much more substantial benefits
than the disastrous operation of the

boro at this time, the Observer desires
it understood that no reflection is
meant on the general spirit of enter
prise and progressiveness in those
two towns, Both are making a
rapid growth in population and
commercial importance, and the
