JUDGE ROWE’S ROUSING CHARGE.
Asks Indictment of the Society Euchre
Players as Well as Gamblers
Down Town.
--— <
Fort Smith, Sept. 11.—Judge
Rowe in delivering his charge to
the grand jury became decidedly
| radical. He went after the gam
! hWs rnnch-shod. claiming- that
gambling will always follow the |
salopn license and asking the vo
j ters of this district to enforce j
! the three-mile liquor laws, claim- j
ing that this will shut out all the
evils. He said that women could
vote in liquor licence petitions
and that if the letter of the law
was strictly enforced Fort Smith
would soon be without saloons.
Judge Rowe also paid his re
! spects to society euchre parties,
I claiming that this is as much a
j violation of the law as other
forms of gaming and asked the
grand jury to indict offenders in
this class/along with the mer
chants who have sold goods on
Sunday.

OREGON COUNTY GROWS TALL CORN.
Monster Pumpkins and Squashes Com
pare favorably With Those of
Middle West.
Portland, Sept. 11.—Visitors
from the central states have
been surprised at the showing
which one county in Oregon has
made at the Lewis and Clark
exposition of products in which
the Middle West is supposed to
excel.
In the Linn county section of
the Agriculture and Horticul
ture building there are on exhi
bition several corn stalks four
teen feet high. The stalks bear
big ears, and the kernels are
large and firm. As a general
thing Oregon farmers find that
the nights are too cool for corn,
and that the early rains prevent
its maturing well, but the stalks
shown by Linn county appear to
prove the exception.
The county has also on exhibi
tion an assortment of monster
numnkins and souashes which
look like those exhibited at Iowa
and Missouri state fairs. There
is one sweet pumpkin that
weighs 85 pounds, and a squash
that tips tne scale at 76 pounds.
The county alsu shows some
Russian side oats, so called from
the fact that the oats grow at
one side of the stalk, on which
the heads are 32 inches long. In
the display of grasses 32 varie
ties are show, and the specimens
include some vetch twelve and a
half feet tali. .
Linn county is situated in the
Willamette valley, one of the
most fertile places in the world,
where fruits and grains of near
ly every kind furnish.

Confederate Pensioners.
The complete list of pensions
allowed by the Confederate Pen
sion Bureau at the meeting ir
August has been announced ai
the office of State Auditor Moore
who will begin sending out th<
warrants to the pensioners a'
once. In each instance th<
amount which will be paid this
year will be but 51 per cent, o;
the amount of the pension grant
ed, as the amount at the treasu
ry available for the payment o:
pensions is not sufficient to pa:
more than that proportion of th<
whole amount. The list grant
ed this year brings the tota
number of pensioners in th<
state up to almost 7,000.
^The list for Jackson county I
small, being as follows: Henr:
Teague. $75; Berry Cooper, $75
W. J. Carter, $50; Mrs. Mary E.

BAD HEALTH. j
Worry, Overwork, Hasty Eating, Ex-j
cessive Use of Liquors, Loss of
Sieep, Neglect of Nature’s
Calls. These Bring on the
Deadly Bright’s Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.
Kidney disease is the enemy we have
most to fear as a result of the feverish
restlessness of modern civilization. It
is a treacherous enemy, working out its I
deadly effect under cover of the most '
trifling symptoms. The first indication
of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal for prompt remedial measures.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy
of the greatest merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly re
lieves the aching or soreness that always
appears in advanced stages, checks the
progress of the disease and through its
excellent cleansing and regulating effect
in the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and ruddy glow
of vigorous health.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
