A woman was seen to kiss a pig the other day, and was not arrested. Buhler Bro's have secured the services of Peter Monger, blacksmith, and Jacob Mangold, wood worker. They are the best in their lines and will Ire pleased to meet old and new friends. 2-ts Parisians think that Americans are somewhat harsh in criticizing their big show, and this is no doubt true.

So far as known, however, she has not asked for the restoration of her maiden name. As the trial proceeds the full extent of the conspiracy to murder Gobel is slowly but surely unfolded, and it becomes more and more evident that Taylor is implicated, probably as an accessory Iretore and certainly as one after the fact.

“My baby was terribly sick with the diarrhoea,” says J. 11. Doak, of Williams, Oregon. “We were unable with the doctor's assistance, and as a last resort we tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diahrroea Remedy. lam happy to say it gave immediate relief andacomplete cure.” For sale by Holthouse, Callow Co. a The cost of the sugar king's new residence would pay the wages of 3,000,000 mon one day at S 2 each; it would employ 100,000 one month at the same wages, and it represents the steady labor of one man on a basis of $2 a day for 82,191 years. Fatality follows failure to use Foley’s Kidney Cure in time. If taken in the earlier stages of Bright's disease and diabetes, it is a certain cure. You have noticed the high death rate from these diseases, and it is not wise to ignore early symptoms when a sure medicine like Folev’s Kidney Cure can be had. Holthouse, Callow & Co. a E. P. Menefee has purchased the right of Adams county for the J. C. Simmons portable fence, which has lieen on displav on Short street byAdolph Hart's barber shop for several weeks. The fence is one of the best that has come to our notice for a long time. Farm rights are now for sale by E. P. Menefee, who may l>e seen at the office us Smith A. Bell. 20-ts It was recently reported from China that Conger's message had been carried at the rate of 200 miles a day. It now turns out, however, that it was really carried 600 lis a day. Ali is suppposed to l>e a third of a mile, but perhaps it is as long as those we are familiar with. “I am a switchman." writes A. J. Jennesse, of 9201 Butler St., Chicago, "and am out in all kinds of (weather. I took a cold which settled on my kidneys and was in very bad shape. I tried several advertised medicines with no benefit until I was recommended to take Foley's Kidney Cure. Twothirds of a bottle cured me.” Holthouse, Callow A Co. a Rev. Clarence G. Miller, of Centerville, lowa, has been chosen as pastor of the Bluffton Presbyterian church. He is spoken of as a very able gentleman. Notice to Wheelmen.

Tague has had bills printed at this office announcing a publie sale to be held on his farm, two and one-half miles east of Salem and four and one-half miles south of Willshire, on Thursday, August 28, at which time he will dispose of a large amount of property. A girl in one of the neighboring towns, on her wedding day, sold her piano and liought a sewing machine and enough material for a suit for her husband and a dress for herself and immediately set to work making them up. Her husband spread the news and in a month her four sisters were married. Notice-—We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to refund the money on two 25 cent bottles orboxesof Baxter’s Mandrake Bitters, if it fails to cure constipation, billiousness, sick -head - aehe, jaundice, loss of appetite, sour stomach, dyspepsia, liver complaint, or any of the diseases for which it is recommended.

There will be no charge for these blanks. They can lx? sent to the customers filled ready for signature, and all required of the customer is to sign and present it at the post office. August Flower. “It is a surprising fact, says Prof. Houton, “that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last ten years. I have met more people having used Greene’s August Flower than any other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver and stomach, and for constipation. I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Greene’s August Flower is a grand remedy. It dues nut injure the system by frequent use, and is excellent for sour stomach and indigestion.” Sample bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Sold by dealers in all civilized countries. An exchange heads an article “We should have a club.” Yes, that’s true every editor needs one. It comes in real handy at times when an irate customer comes in and wants to know “who writ that article or when some splay footed demon of dishonesty who owes five years subscription, throws his paper back into the office marked “refused” Yes, he needs a keen, lively club. One that will stand nine years behind the door to get a whack at the chap who says he never ordered the paper, didn’t get it if he did. and had paid for it it he did. A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie Springer, 1125 Howard st.. Phila delphia. Pa., when she found that Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made fife a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure “it soon removed the pain in chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remetnlier doing before. I feel like sounding its praises throughout the universe.” So will everyone who tries Dr. King’s New Discovery for any trouble of the throat or lungs. Price 50 and SI.OO. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store; every bottle guaranteed. An exchange remarks that this is a goal time of the year for the farmer to forget his name ami let it stay forgotten until the fakirs and swindlers who go around the rural districts securing signatures to apparently harmless papers, which afterwards turn up as promissory notes, have finished their summer's work and gone into winter quarters. Another sure protection is to take and read the home paper. PATENTS Cavoc.ts, Trade-marks, IHI LH 10, anc ( Copyrights secured promptly for moderate fees. Patent guaranteed in every case.
