catarrh causes Kidney DIsease.

Catarrh ia & frequent cause of kid ney disease. The pelvis of the kid- news. as well as the tubules, is lined with mucous membrane, and is there- fore subject to catarrhal congestion. Sometimes the catarrh is so slight as to cause no attention. Other tmee itlsads up to very serious conditions.
 Any remedy capable of mitigating the catarrh is a much more rational treatment than to give palliatives that only relieve the patient of one or more disagreeable symptoms.
 It is claimed for Peruna that it is an internal systemic catarrh remedy, and reaches the catarrh in whatever organ 1t happens to be located.

SEATING THE PARK
Business Men and Property Owners
Will Place Seats and Benches
for Convenience of Public.

W. j. Gholson, Of the city park
committee has bit upon novel plan
to secure seats for the park. He met
with stunning success and in short
time there will tie plenty of seats to
accommodate the general public.
Mr.. Gholson solicited the business
men and property owners for individ
nal seats, and the scheme met with
popular favor. The individual is Civ
en- permission to contribute any style
of seat he wishes, and can make 1t
any size be desires.
Many CT the business men will have
their dvertisements on the seat fur
nished by them and novelties in this
respect are looked for. No one is
barred from having his individual
seat at the park, and many will make
seats large enough to accommodate
six or eight persons.
There will be work for the earpe'-
ter and painter for several days to
come, for nearly every head of fam
lily in town, and other heads who
haven't any family, have promised to
furnish seat.
The grand stand was moved We'd
nesday from the ball grounds above
town to the athletic side of the park.
This structure will give large seating
capacity for ball games and field
events.

DEATH OF A LOVABLE GIRL
Ettahell Swaggart, After Lingering for
Months Passes Away Wednesday.

Ettabell Swaggart, daughter of Mr..
and nj rs. A. l.. Swaggart, died Wed
neday afternoon at the home of her
parents, after lingering since the first
of the year with fatal malady result
ing from an attack of appendicitis.
She was a lovable child and bore
her suffering with great bravery and
fortitude.
Some time ago she was afflicted
with appendicitis, and all that med
ical skill could do was accomplished.
She apparently rallied for awhile but
later declined and was taken to Pen
dleton for treatment, but continued to
fail, and was brought home several
days ago.
She was born at the home OF her
parents north of Athena and at the
time of death was aged ID years and
four months. Father, mother. two
sisters and two brothers are left to
NOUN the loss of kind and loyable
sister, but the burden OF grief Is
greatly alleviated in the knowledge
that all had been done for the dear one
that it was possible to do.
Funeral services were held at the
Christian church in this city, OF
which she was member, yesterday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock, conducted by
Mr.. Meldrum. A large concourse OF
of people we're in attendance. Many
beautiful flowers were in evidence.
The pallbearers were from the ranks
Of Ettabell's intimaoe girl friends,
composed of the following; Merna
DePeatt, Bessie Key, Anna johnson,
Laura and Bell Mcintyre and Ethel
Mcintyre.

FIRST ANNUAL meet
Umatilla County Schools Participate
Tomorrow in Athletic Meet
and Oratorical Contest.

The first annual track meet and
oratorical contest to be given under
the auspices of the Umatilla County
Athletic and Oratorical Association,
of which A. q. Hampton of Pendleton
is president, a. e. Gronewold is trea-
surer and Fl. q. Case is secretary, will
take place in this city tomorrow.
The athletic meet will take place
in the city park, and the oratorioal
contest will ne given at the Methodist
Episcopal church, beginning at 7:SO
p. m The athletic program begins
at o'clock and will be preceded by a
ball game between the Columbia Col
lege team aud a mixed team from the
Pendleton Academy, which takes place
at 10 a. m. An admittance fee of 25
cents will be charged at the ball game
and at the athletic meet, and also for
the oratorical contest. This is nec-
essary for the reason that the Asso-
citation has no funds with which to
meet the general expenses incurred in
giving the meet. No entrance fee to
the athletic events is charged.
Prof. Case informs the Press that he
has received notification from Milton,
Pendleton and other points in the
county that large crowds will be in
attendance. Mr.. Case has written
over 200 letters, SO he informs us, to
parties throughout the county con-
cerning the meet, and he expects the
first annual meet to be a success.
The track will be in first class con-
dition and with the removal of the
grand stand to the park, seating ac-
commodations for the spectators of the
races and other events, will be pro-
vided. Tents will serve as dressing
apartments for the athletes and every
thing possible will be done to make
the meet success. The program in
full follows:
