THIS FELLOW LOOKS ONLY FOR PIE If the republicans of the Eighth district can get together and nominate a man like Judge Leffler for congress, it will be time for J. A. M. Adair to give up his lease on his apartments at Washington.—Winchester Herald. The Herald is an ultra Cromer republican newspaper. It was ever, and now is an uncompromising supporter of the defeated chiefton. It defended him and asked and pleaded for his re-election at a time when it knew he was not rendering his constituents valuable service. And its loyalty to Cromer got its editor the Winchester postmastership. The Herald will be for any republican for congress that Cromer dictates —its editor doubtless wants four years more in the service. But while the Herald has been consistently for Cromer and his crowd, in season and out of season, It has as bitterly opposed Congressman Adair. It praised Cromer

The knowledge of the wonderful merits of Root Juice is rapidly spreading all over the world. Newspapers of nearl yevery state are publishing reports of the great good it is doing. Many local people who have tried the remedy, are loud in their praise of it. It seems to be unexcelled for chronic stomach troubles, liver and kidney disorders, and when it does cure the cure seems to be permanent, as those who took the remedy when it was first placed on the market continue to praise it. Root Juice is very healing to the stomach, bowels, bladder, liver and kidneys, and has a wonderful tonic action on the blood making and blood filtering organs. It seems to benefit every one who takes it from the start. It prevents fermentation in the stomach and bowels, creates a good appetite, rids the system of acids and other poisons, by healing and toning up the filtering organs. Many who suffered with rheumatism a long time say that after taking a few bottles of Rot Juice they’ could almost feel the disease melting} away. Others who suffered intensely with stomach trouble say the first dose of Root Juice made them feel better and that after taking a' bottle or so of the great medicine they felt hungry all the time and could eat anything and digest it. The people at the Holthouse drug store are chuck full of reliable information concerning this great remedy. *

TWENTY-THREE DEAD And as Many More Missing The Rescuers are Working Frantically. (United Press Service.) Seattle, WasL, March 2—(Special to Daily Democrat—Twenty-three are known to be dead and twenty-five are still missing, fallowing the sweeping far into the depths below at the entrance of the Cascade tunnel two trains on the Great Northern railroad by an avalanch of snow and earth, last night. Relief parties worked all night and are still working with the snow, which is melting rapidly, making the work of rescue extremely dangerous. Today the rescuers are stirred to almost frantic efforts by the moans and cries from under the debris, indicating that some of the victims are still alive. Occasionally large quantities of snow become dislodged and crash with a boom that can be heard for miles. Only three bodies have been identified. The two trains that were overwhelmed were a trans-continental mall train which carried no passengers and the Spo-kane-Seattle express. The express was the first to go and the big steel cars of the mail train wer ehurled down on the passenger coaches, mashing them into pieces. Piled on top of the two trains were the main portions of the snow sheds and debris from the mountain sides. The avalanch which hurled the train into the canyon is declared to have been a mile long. — o — 1 WAGNER BUYS CRAMER HOME.

AFRICAN FEVER Is Most Likely to Attack Colonel Roosevelt and Party Very Soon. MAY CAUSE EPIDEMIC Dreaded Disease Spread Rapidly and is Uusally Fatal in Results. (United Press Service.) Washington, D. C., March 2—(Special to Daily Democrat—Friends of exPresident Rosevelt here today are somewhat worried over a statement made by Captain Dupuesne, the noted African hunter, that "Dwan Yumbo, and the other members of the party are likely to be stricken with African fever when they get back to civilization. Several days ago Dr. Prosch, a missionary, after dining with Roosevelt and party, was stricken with the fever and died a few hours later. “If the African fever should break out in one of the party, after arriving in this country, It would spread everywhere. I am positive the Roosevelt party must be infected with this dreaded disease. Before the partygets to Europe either the African fever or the ‘sleping sickness’ will break out among them. Captain Duquesne is regarded as an authority on Africa. He is a resident of German, East Africa. - o— OPERA HOUSE PACKED. The Gilpins are proving a good drawing card. The opera house was packed last night and everybody was well pleased. The human stairway, where five young men are suspended in air and used as stairsteps is a wonderful feature, and causes comment from everyone. Mrs. Gilpin, the only lady hypnotist now practicing on the stage, is equal to Mr. Gilpin in everyway, and adds greatly to the performance. The Gilpins have had manyyears' experience in presenting scientific hypnotism, are graduates of the New York Institute of Science of Rochester, N. Y., the largest school of its kind in America. Mr. Gilpin Tuesday night explained the principle of the science, as a study of human nature, and pointed out where it can be used by physicians to a great advantage; also that it is worthy of the attention of parents, who should make a study of scientific suggestion in the training of children. He also stated that they were showing the funny side of the subject. But those who are interested can see the scientific principle intermingled with the funny part. Mr. Sizemore, who played the piano for twelve hours, was awakened on schedule time, and afterward played for the entertainment. He does not feel any bad effects from a feature of this kind. If you want an evening of fun and amusement, attend the Gilpen show tonight. Entire change of program. o" NOTICE. Royal Neighbor ladies will on next Friday serve a chicken dinner at their hall and to which the public is invited. Price, 25 cents, and supper, 15 cents.
