Indianapolis, March 30. — The joint meetings of the bituminous coal operators and miners of the central competitive district, composed of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and of the Southwestern district, composed of Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, last night reached a final disagreement on the wage scale to go into effect at the expiration of the present scale on April 1, and the conference of the central district adjourned sine die, while the joint scale committee of the Southwestern district decided to report a disagreement to the joint conference of that district today. It is expected that this conference will at once adjourn sine die without an agreement. The action of the two conferences will directly cause the suspension of work after Saturday by 178,000 miners unless something unforeseen, like submission of the differences to arbitration, should intervene, and indirectly will affect 206,500 more miners, not including its effect on 150,000 miners in the anthracite field, who were last night ordered to suspend work Monday. A national convention of the miners will be held today to decide whether miners will be allowed to sign the advance scale demanded and today refused by all operators with a few exceptions, and to go to work where the advance is offered. Operators employing 25,000 miners in the central competitive field have openly offered to pay the advance during the joint conference sessions. The wage scales of all miners, both anthracite and bituminous, will expire Saturday, except those in Tennessee and Alabama, where the scale will expire in September. One national official of the United Mineworkers said: "It is a foregone conclusion that all the miners whose scales expire Saturday will cease work until officially notified by the national and district officers that new contract arrangements have been made governing their scale." PROGRAM FOR CONGRESS. Pan - American Committee Prepares Subjects for Action. Washington, March 30.—A program of subjects to be considered at the Pan-American congress to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, beginning July 21, was agreed on today by the committee of the congress having that matter in charge, of which Secretary Root is chairman. In addition to Mr. Root the committee is made up of the ambassadors from Brazil and Mexico and the ministers from Chile, the Argentine Republic, Cuba and Costa Rica. The subjects include sanitary and quarantine regulations, uniformity of patent laws, international recognition of diplomas of practicians of the learned professions, questions affecting commercial intercourse and an international railroad. It is expected that what is commonly known as the Drago doctrine, which is opposed to the forcible collection of private debts by one nation from another, a doctrine adhered to by the United States, will come up for consideration in some form. Legislature Orders Inquiry Into Violation of Insurance Law. Des Moines, Iowa, March 30.—As a result of practically unanimous action by both houses of the Iowa legislature today, an investigation of insurance companies is to be undertaken in this state during the present summer, similar to that which was conducted in New York last fall. The resolution which awaits the governor's signature provides for the appointment of a commission to inquire into rumored abuse of Iowa insurance laws by state and Eastern companies, to conduct an inquisitorial investigation whenever in the commission's opinion it is desirable, and report to the legislature of next year what changes should be made in the laws to prevent a recurrence of any abuses that may exist. Road Tied Up for Two Weeks. Los Angeles, March 30.—The local railroad situation resulting from floods in Southern California and vicinity is even worse than has yet been described. It is given out from the office of General Manager Wells, of the Salt Lake route, that the washouts between Caliente and Las Vegas are so serious that the roadbed cannot be repaired short of two weeks to admit the passage of trains. The Southern Pacific also reports further trouble today. Another washout has occurred somewhere in the San Joaquin valley. Washington, March 30.—That the senate and house will reach a compromise agreement on the statehood bill, which will permit Arizona and New Mexico each to decide for themselves the question of their admission as one state seems a correct solution from present indications. New Age HALF MILLION TO STRIKE. IOWA WILL 1NVESTIGATE. Road Tied Up for Two Weeks Referendum on Statehood. IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Thursday, March 29. Washington, March 29 — The senate today listened to speeches on the railroad rate bill by Clay, Carmack and Newlands and passed a bill which provides for the reorganization of the medical department of the army by authorizing the appointment of officers to take the place of contract surgeons. All the senators who spoke on the rate bill indicated a purpose to support it, but Clay expressed the hope that it would be so amended as to afford a limited court review of the orders of the Interstate Commerce commission. Hale criticized the military medical bill, saying it showed a tendency to increase the army, which was not desirable in time of peace. Culberson presented and had the clerk read a memorial from the Cattleraisers' association of Texas, urging the passage of the railroad rate bill as it came from the house. A bill was passed authorizing the erection of three life saving stations on the coast of Washington between Cape Flattery and Gray's harbor. The senate adjourned until Monday. Washington, March 29. Today was a busy day for the house, considerable progress having been made on the executive, legislative and judicial bill. The committee on appropriations suffered a defeat, the committee of the whole, by a vote of 58 to 22, expuging a paragraph from the bill which was alleged to be properly part of the postoffice appropriation bill. An increase of $10,000 over the appropriation carried by the bill was voted for confidential agents of the Interior department to aid in ferreting out land frauds. Wednesday, March 28 Washington, March 28.—Knox made his first set speech in the senate today. He spoke on the railroad rate question, and dealt almost exclusively with the legal features of the problem. When he concluded the senate entered upon the consideration of the conference report on the bill regarding the final disposition of the affaire of the five civilized tribes of Indians and much objection was expressed to many of the changes. Several senators, including La Folette, Clark, of Wyoming, and Tillman, expressed disapproval of the conference provision authorizing the secretary of the interior to lease land. Washington, March 28.—The president today transmitted to the house the report of Assistant Secretary of State Herbert H. D. Peirce, regarding the consular service in the Orient. The visit of Mr. Peirce included many cities, but his severe criticism is reserved for ex-Consul General McWade at Canton, and Consul Williams at Singapore. The charges against McWade, ex-consul at Canton, are drunkenness, employment of a felon, issuance of fraudulent Chinese certificates, extending protection to Chinamen who claim to be American citizens, persecution of American citizens for purposes of revenge, and corruption in office. The charges against Goodnow are 82 in number, some serious and some light. Some are sufficient to support suits at law and give evidence of corruption in office. The opinion of the better element was unfavrable too him in Shanghai. Tuesday. March 27. Washington, March 27. — Tillman and McCumber divided the time of the senate today. the North Dakota senator devoting himself to the railroad rate question exclusively and the South Carolina senator discussing various questions. Tillman made a special inquiry concerning the status of his resolution relative to the use of national bank funds in politics, and incidentally spoke of District Attorney Jerome's recent utterances and of Judge Humphrey's decision in the beef trust cases, declaring in the latter matter that the decision against the attorney general had merely reaped what he had sown in the case of ex-Secretary Paul Morton. Washington, March 27.—The house today witnessed a most unusual scene, the speaker rising on the floor in the midst of a spirited discussion on reciprocity and tariff revision and disclaiming responsibility for differences between minority members. It was toward the close of the debate on the urgent deficiency bill, which appropriated, among other things, for the forthcoming conference at Rio de Janeiro. The bill was passed. Bill for Cattle Shipping Washington, March 27. — The house committee on interstate commerce today favorably reported a substitute for Representative French's 36-hour livestock bill. The committee bill confers absolute power on the secretary of agriculture to regulate stock shipments, permitting him to extend or shorten the periods as he may deem proper. Under this bill, the secretary could continue to enforce the present 28-hour law, he could permit shipments for longer periods, or require unloading every eight hours, as demanded by some. NO. 49. On motion of Tawney, the legislative and judicial bill was taken up, when Prince, of Illinois, and Hardwick, of Georgia, resumed the tactics inaugurated last week by raising a point of order against every paragraph in which there was a departure from existing law. A half dozen points of order were made and sustained affecting the officers of the subtreasuries at New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans and St. Louis. Monday. March 26. Washington, March 26. — Following the president's suggestion, the house today passed resolutions to correct the useless printing of documents and to empower the printing committees of the two executive bodies to fix the number of documents to be printed, and, should the demand arise for additional copies of a publication, then to have authority to order another edition. It was claimed this action would result in saving the government upward of $1,000,000 annually. Nearly the entire day was devoted to District of Columbia business. The fortifications appropriations bill oill was sent to conference. Washington, March 26. — There was a hint in the senate today at an effort to fix a time for a final vote on the railroad bill, but it was surrounded by so much circumspection and doubt that no prediction as to the time would be justified. Tillman stated that he would bring the matter up tomorrow and, unless objection was made, he may ask to have a day specified. The suggestion as to a time arose in connection with the more or less serious effort on the part of a number of senators to secure immediate consideration of amendments offered by themselves. Saturday, March 24. Washington, March 24. — Hazing at the Annapolis Naval academy was dealt with by the house today in the passage of a senate bill with a house substitute. The action was taken after a protracted debate, which placed on record the impressions of the special committee which investigated the subject recently and a severe criticism by Hepburn of efforts to condone hazing. Several amendments were proposed, but all were rejected save one, it being the duty of cadet officers, as well as other academy authorities, to report infractions of the rules. The bill repeals that portion of existing laws which makes it compulsory to dismiss midshipmen guilty of hazing in any degree, and substitutes punishment according to the nature of the offense. Cruel and brutal hazing may be punished by dismiseal. Previous to consideration of the hazing bill, 265 pension bills were discussed and passed. Friday. March 23. Washington, March 23. — Spooner today concluded his speech in the senate on the railroad rate bill, and the fortifications appropriation bill was taken up and passed. It carries an appropriation of $125,000 for the erection of a powder manufactory, and Daniel spoke at length in support of the provision He declared that the nation was entirely at the mercy of a powder trust, and urged that the amendment should be adopted as a safeguard. As passed, the bill carries an appropriation of $5,278,993. Tillman also spoke on the railroad rate bill, suggesting that the Interstate Commerce commission should have authority to enjoin the railroads from increasing their rates. He said the suggestion had been made by a "corn field lawyer" in Oklahoma. The following bids were also passed: Creating a steamboat inspectors' district in Alaska; providing for filling in the naval station at Honolulu; authorizing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad to construct bridges across the Missouri, Yellowstone, Snake and Columbia rivers. Washington, March 23. — The consideration of the legislative appropriation bill in the house today was enlivened by a small spat between Prince and Tawney, a proposition to buy a private car for the president, which was ruled out of order, and a jeering speech by Smith, of Arizona, about the suppression of debate by the rules. An echo of the statehood controversy yesterday resulted in an effort to correct the journal. Williams maintained he was put in the ridiculous position of moving to instruct the conferences after they had been appointed, a motion clearly out of order at that time. The correction was made as suggested. Confer on Bristol. Washington, March 26.—President Roosevelt today sent for Senator Fulton and Attorney General Moody to talk over the case of District Attorney Bristol. What the conference accomplished cannot be stated, as none of the participants will discuss it or give any inkling of what disposition will be made of the case. It is stated, though not officially, that the Oregon Bar association has declined to take any action in the premises, having returned the papers submitted by the attorney general several weeks ago.

Cigars DeMers Ave. and Fifth St. Tom Reed's Successor as Speaker, Who Died Recently. The death of Col. David Bremner Henderson, of Iowa, following a parhetic and paralytic condition of over a year's duration, did not come unexpectedly. For months his mind had been in a cloud, but a few days before death it became so clear that he could recognize friends and converse intelligently with his family. Mr. Henderson was a member of the national House of Representatives twenty years, and for two terms served as Speaker. "Good Old Dave," as he was familiarly known, was in demand as an after-dinner speaker, where his ready wit and biting humor brought forth gales of laughter. But from "Good Old Dave," as he was before his first term as Speaker, he went through a transition, till at the close of his second term as executive of the House he was styled "Czar," just as was his predecessor, Thomas B. Reed. So strong was the feeling against him in 1903 when the Fifty-seventh Congress adjourned that Mr. Henderson chose to retire from Congress rather than face what he surmised would be defeat if he were again a candidate for the speakership. Since his retirement he had lived quietly in Dubuque, which had been his home for many years. M. COL. DAVID B. HENDERSON. Mr. Henderson was born March 14, 1840, in the bleak village of Old Deer, which is attached to the estate of the Earl of Buchan in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He was scarcely five years old when his father, Thomas Henderson, left Old Deer for America, bringing the family with him. After many tribulations the family landed in Chicago with something like $5 of ready cash remaining from the fund obtained by selling their household effects in Scotland. They managed to get a small farm in Illinois, and there they remained three years. Later the Hendersons moved to Iowa, and with money saved by David's thrifty mother purchased a tract of prairie land in Fayette County, which later was known as Henderson's Prairie. It was in Iowa the future Speaker received his schooling. He worked on the farm in summer and attended school in winter. In 1860 he was sent to a small Methodist college at Fayette, known as the Upper Iowa University. In his second year at the school the war broke out, and on the morning of September 15, 1861, when Henderson was 21, he arose during the morning assembly of the students for prayer and asked that he be given a chance to speak. After a consultation of the faculty his wish was granted, and he then made a speech which was talked of for years in Iowa owing to its passion and patriotism. As a result twenty-two of the students promptly enlisted with him. He formed and was made lieutenant of Company C, of the Twentieth Iowa Infantry. He was shot in the face at Fort Donelson, and was in a hospital till shortly before the battle of Shiloh, where he rejoined his regiment. In the battle of Corinth he lost a foot, but after being discharged from the hospital he was made colonel of the Forty-sixth Iowa Volunteers, and served throughout the remainder of the war in that capacity. When peace had been restored Col. Henderson studied law, and from 1868 till 1882, when he was elected to Congress, and his partner, Judge Shiras, was appointed to the United States Supreme Court, he was a member of the firm of Shiras, Van Duzee & Henderson. In 1876 Col. Henderson married Miss Augusta Fox, of West Union, Iowa, and made his home at Dubuque, where his three children were born. They are: Mrs. Angle Peaslee, of East Dubuque, Ill.; Belle Henderson, who lives with her parents, and a son, Don Henderson, who is in the lumber business in St. Paul. Col. Henderson was a great storyteller, and a fluent and witty speaker. As an example of his vitality, many stories are told of the final operation on his leg. Three previous operations had not been successful, and in 1890 he arranged for a fourth. On this occasion he not only refused to take an anaesthetic, but sat on the operating table of the hospital giving directions and freely criticising the work of the surgeons. Rather Sharp. Stubb—Yes; the colossal wild animal show went to pieces. The creditors seized everything until they reached the animal in the large cage. Penn—and why didn't they seize that? Stubb—It was a porcupine.—Judge. Collen of Flowers. The pollen of flowers is in grains so small that many kinds are no more than 1,000th part of a millimeter in diameter.

The general interest manifested in the campaign for the nomination of a United States senator suggests that the great mass of voters have al- ready concluded to cast their ballots in this controversy between individ- uals with the greatest care. ‘Their candidate will be the man who cham- pions the interests most common to them—interests which have, hereto- fore, been shamefully neglected. For many years congress after congress has met, “debated” and adjourned without the compliment of touching many of the interests most vital to the common people. In this slight, be it purposeful or otherwise, they find the germ_of a grievance—a grievance which they will outline through the little slot in the ballot-box at the primary election on April 20. Not much time will be lost between the present and that date in the important work of rallying their forces in self defense. They have already begun this work with a vigor that suggests success at the polls. ‘The people find in the platform pre- pared and presented by Judge E. B. ‘Watson, the popular candidate for the ‘nomination for United States senator, an expression of the policy on which they desire to have their claims for recognition présented to the United States government through that great body. It is, altogether, an exponent of the principles of their protests and their rights. It presents the schemq through which they may most readily, most easily and most logically acquire relief from the evil of conditions from which they have long suffered with patience and in silence. It is, in short, a plain, business-like and patriotic expression of their position in mat- ters most important to them and, therefore, of great importance to the state in which they represent the in- telligence and the brawn of progress. Letters have been received at the office of The New Age, since its issue of the 24th instant, which express the general feeling, no doubt, of the peo- ple of the state concerning the ques- tions which ought to have predomi- nant consideration in the present sen- atorlal campaign. They are the ques- tions presented in Judge Watson's platform. No other candidate has heretofore so effectively touched the popular chord of public sentiment along the line of the contest for ‘the senatorial nomination. One writer, who is a resident of Central Oregon, says: “Hon. E. B. Watson has certainly reached the hearts of the people in this part of the state in that portion of his platform which refers to the land grant subsidies and the manner in which he would compel those who hold the Oregon Railroad and Wagon Road land grants to respect the provi- sions under which they hold them. We have for a long time been outraged by the indifference of our national legislators respecting that important matter. Claimants under the land Jaws of the governmeht, as he de- clares through your paper, are enti tled to protection from the evil of such conditions as these corporations “have produced without the least thought of their responsibility as hold- ers of these grants in the very heart "of the rich domain of the state. Their policy has certainly been that of the dog in the manger. The honest set- tional legislation. Judge Watson's clarion note of opposition to that regime is the first clear note we have heard on that point in the present ‘campaign. ‘The trust in polities is an alarming evil. Many of us have known the Judge for many years and have good reason to believe that he is the best man among all of those named in this contest to fight for us fearless: ly and effectively for the speedy intro- duction of a remedy for that capital istic danger. Our condition will be no better than that of the people of |Russia if we permit this corporation tyranny much longer to prevail.” A resident of Southern Oregon, in which section of the state Judge Wat- son is well known, both as. a private citizen and as a public official, says: “We are glad to know that Hon. E. B, Watson has finally been induced to become a candidate for the nomina- tion for United States senator. We have unbounded confidence in him, laown here. We know his ability, his intessty of character, his high sense of honor and his abounding interest lin the people. He was an able and impartial judge here and an able jur- ist as one of the judges of the su- preme court of the state. He is a |stubborn and effective fighter when he knows he's right — and he never fights unless he is right. We admire the stand he has taken in his platform as a candi- date for the United States senator- ship; and we know that he means ‘what he says when he tells us that he will fight abuses that have so long existed in this state without opposi- tion.” | These voluntary endorsements of Judge Watson's candidacy and plat- ltorm from leading citizens of the state are encouraging assurances of success. Considered in conjunction with the fact that the Judge is one lof the most faithful supporters of the cardinal principles of Republicanism Fo! particularly that type of Repub- licanism of which President Roosevelt ls the leading representative—no one lexpresses surpirse that he is the pop- | ular candidate for the position which [re has, by accredited influences from all parts of the commonwealth, bee jinducea to seck. His extensive study of economic questions and his fa [miliarity with the methods of apply: Ua is reeds Pte tation eo mend him particularly to the thinking publie. “It is a condition, not a theory, that confronts” our national congress to- day. It has many mighty matters to deal with; and in thelr consideration we find the finesse of those who con- trol the great corporations of this time. The loyally. patriotic people of the |countey have been made ashamed by |the manner in which leading represen- |iatives of our greatest law-making body |have apparently truckled to the base wish of the trust magnates. By this fact we are made to realize the ex treme need of independent statesmen ‘as members of the United States sen- ate, Oregon, in its eventful political jhistory, has not been without infuen- |tlal representation in the national congress; but never in its phenomenal | progress has it needed that influence more than at this time. Therefore, [we must now select with extraordi- |RarY care those who are to represent ‘us there. ‘As evidence of the fact that the peo- ple of this state have become aware of this condition we may cite the pres- ent revulsion of publi sentiment re- |specting the dictation of “bosses.” Under the new law, which forestalls je cut-and-dried methods of party jeconventions, with their slates boldly jDulletined before their delegations jhave. met in public assemblage, the _People, as one great and general mass THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON CS Lo ee Li oe > LF EN ee fh oe ee SS eo oe aN oe [oe Ct bo a i Se Se E e,lU fo NT oe co aw Ses he apt EIR GE sac 8 OS i gies C8 Sa Mire ae at RE EO | HON.

B. COLWELL A POPULAR | CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR. ‘The announcement on Saturday last that Hon, E. B. Colwell had become ‘a candidate for the nomination for a state senatorship from Multnomah county was received with enthusiastic approval by a wide circle of leading Republicans and personal friends. In deed, an abler and more popular man could not be. selected to serve the people in such an important position as that of state senator. His many friends have begun a vigorous cam paign for his nomination, and have every reason to believe that success will crown their effort. The canvass is being made solely on Mr. Colwell’s capability, untiring energy, high sense of honor and extensive experience in public business. He made a most en- viable record as representative from this county in the state legislature, pleasing the people with the enactment of popular measures, among which should be mentioned his bill provid. ing for a 2-mill bridge tax, which has pert of such great value to small local property holders. Through the pate of this measure all of the large property owners in the city of Portland have been required to pay their share of the tax, thus lessening ‘very materially the burden of the a holders. The bill was strenu- ‘ously opposed by the heavy property interests in this city, but so ably was the matter presented by Mr. Colwell and so fully were its features dis cussed that the power of their in- fluence was readily overcome when the measure was put on its final pas. sage. Mr. Colwell's platform is compre- hensive and popular with the average voter. “Iam in favor,” he says, “of municipal ownership of public utili- ties. I advocate the acquisition of these utilities along conservative lines. “I am opposed to the leasing of con- viets, thus bringing them into compe- tition with free labor. I favor putting convicts to work on state and county roads. “I advocate a flat salary for the state printer's office. “I advocate a law relating to weights and measures which will be adequate to protect the unsuspecting. “[ am first, last and all the time in favor of upholding the principles of the Republican party—the party which has made this country great.” ‘What more in the form of declara- tion of policy and platform do the voters of Multnomah or any other coun- ty in the state of Oregon want? It-is wholesome, patriotic and suggestive ‘of a high sense of duty to the public. It is the platform which the majority of the voters of this county will read- ily endorse; and, when we consider Mr. Colwell’s other eminent qualifi- cations for public service, his integ rity and energy and his unfaltering fidelity to the cause of Republicanism, we must concede that he fs one of the able men we need in the state senate, Mr. Colwell is one of the leading business men of the city. He is a thorough and most practical man of eausive affairs and is fully convers- ant with the needs of Multnomah county in particular and the state in general. A vote for Mr. Colwell is a vote for one of the best men yet named on Multnomah county's legis- lative ticket. SOME LITTLE OBJECTION, Down in New Orleans the other day a mob of white people lynched a “nigger.” This is nothing unusual in that part of the country, but what is remarkable is that there was some after criticism of the act, and ft was considerably censured, though of course nobody will be punished for it This colored man who was killed did not commit a murder, nor assault a woman, nor, in fact, So far as any- body knows, did not commit any crime at all; but a man’s cow had been shot and killed by somebody, no. body knew by whom, probably by ac- cident, and this Negro was suspected of the act. If the animal had been a eat, or even a dog that was not thought much of, perhaps the Negro would not have been murdered, but the death of a cow, worth perhaps $30 or $40, was a sufficient loss to call to- gether a mob that demanded and took the life of the first colored man on whom suspicion fell. After he was dead and the fury of the mob over the loss of the neigh- bor’s cow had cooled down a little, the suggestion was “made that maybe the victim did not kill the cow after all; there was no proof that he had done sd, Of course, if it had been positively known that he had killed the cow, there would have been no regrets or apologies for killing him, but since it dawned on some of the chivalrous minds of the superior race that he might have been entirely in- nocent, they felt that they might not have treated him, and his widow and orphaned children, though only “nig- gers,” quite right. Indeed, after the mob had revenged the cow, there arose in the Crescent City a considerable number of voices of white people who openly declared that lynching a Negro for killing a cow ‘is unjustifiable and should not have taken place, and they hope it will not occur again. The grand jury was instructed to investigate the affair, but nothing will come of it. The sheriff will not be able to recognize any members of the mob, and the jury, if any of them ‘were brought to trial, will feel that it would be indelicate and ill-advised to convict their neighbors and friends, and very likely the jurors have helped lynch Negroes themselves, if not this one. Yet these same mob murderers probably contribute money to send Missionaries to convert the heathen, and to preach the doctrine of love and fraternity on earth! THE IMPORTANT THINGS. | Mr. Elmer B. Colwell, in a letter published in the Oregonian of Thurs- day, is right when he says: | “I think that the average voter had better pay more attention to how a candidate for the legislature stands on the question of 85-cent gas and a proper restriction of public franchises, instead of getting worked up about whether the candidate signs state ment 1, statement 2, or any statement etal © © * | “When we see great corporate in- terests working themselves into hys- terics over intangible things like statement 1 and statement 2, then the careful yoter will do well to stand aside and ask what is the reason of all this sudden fuss about this mat- ter. t+ + “No matter whether statement 1 wins or loses, we will have a United States senator, and probably a good one. But we do not know that we will have cheaper gas or any relief from franchise grabbers. These are questions that ‘concern laboring men and wageearning people. * * * “In electing a legislature would it not be well to pay a little attention to how a candidate stands on real live questions, and not to take a sim- ple statement that he ‘has signed statement 1 as a guarantee that he will really look out for the people’s interests?” One thing the people want of the next legislature is to repeal that pre- tendedly perpetual charter of the gas company and other old franchises, and give the people a chance to regu late and control these corporations. The way it is now, the more the gas company reduces the price, the higher their gas bills are and the poorer gas they get. This is not so bad as it would be if Portland did not have a splendid electric light system, in the hands of men who give people their full money’s worth and a square deal all the time, yet gas is also a neces- sity, and the people have been flim: flammed long enough by the gas com pany. And the franchise to the South- ern Pacific down Fourth street ought to be annulled too. These and other such matters are of far greater consequence than whether candidates for the legislature sign “statement No. 1” or not. LABOR UNIONS AND CONGRESS: MEN. Up in Baker City, where Candidates Rand and Lachner live, and also in Pendleton, the home of Judge Ellis, ‘the labor unions have indorsed Tach ‘ner for representative in congress, ‘while in Portland the federated trades union has indorsed Ellis. Leaving out of consideration the question as to whether all the members of these unions are Republicans, as such ac tion would seem to indicate or as- sume, it shows that there is a marked division of sentiment among them as to the best man for their interests to be elected to congress.” They all seem to agree in opposition to Rand, as they are quite justified in, but they don't agree as to the next best man. At the last meeting of federated trades here several speeches were made in favor of Bilis, it being said that he was friendly to labor and could be depended upon tb serve their Interests, but nobody mentioned any- thing that he ever did upon which to found such a conclusion. Ellis in congress will vote on all questions ex. actly as the leaders or bosses tell him to vote. If a few leaders like Cannon, Payne, Dalzell and Tawney want a bill to benefit the laboring peo- ple killed, Ellis will vote that way. It they decide to yield something to the demands of labor, Ellis wil cheer- tully follow them, and then will pat. himself on the chest and say: “Be: hold, what a good friend of labor I am.” It might be supposed that the labor unions of Pendléton, which has be- come considerable of a city, were bet- ter acquainted with Judge Ellis and better knew his attitude toward work- ing men than the federated trades unions of Portland, and the Pendleton union men don't want him. They prefer even Billy Lachner. We are not meaning to say any- thing in particular against Judge El- lis, and suppose that the way mat- ters have shaped themselves he will be nominated and elected. But if the union working men of Portland sup- pose they will have any particular or valiant or able champion in him, they are badly mistaken. He may favor such legislation as they want, if en- tirely convenient to him, and if he is permitted to do so by his masters, but not otherwise. —___—— JONATHAN BOURNE. Mr. Jonathan Bourne is a quite un- ‘certain quantity in the senatorial race, as he would be in the senate if he were elected, of which there is no danger. Most observers of the trend of senti- ment ridicule his ambition and pre- tensions, and estimate his vote as’ something not worthy of much con- sideration, but occasionally a person will look wise and hint that the way Jonathan will run will surprise his competitors and others. For our part we expect that he will get a consid- erable vote, perhaps ten per cent of the whole, but that he will come no- where near obtaining the nomination. | There have, perhaps, been worse men in Oregon politics than Mr. Bourne, but his course of conduct in organizing and carrying out a legis- lative holdup some years ago, prevent- ing any session and putting the state: to great annoyance and expense—not to mention his career as a lobbyist and reputed corruptionist, is too well known and too well remembered for him reasonably to expect a plurality of votes. And if by any means or Possibility he could secure them, Sen- ator Gearin would beat him at the polls, and the people would elect @ legislature that would elect Gearin rather than Bourne. No, in many ways Mr. Bourne is a liable man, but he never will be: senator from Oregon. Let any man contrast this “foxy,” spectacular, yet secretive, plunger and marplot in poh- tics with Judge Watson, a man of dignity, of poise, of erudition, of can- dor, open, honorable, able and trust- worthy—and then conceive of the pos- sibility of the Republicans of Oregon choosing Bourne instead of Watson! No, the thing is impossible, A SPECIMEN OF SOUTHERN CHIVALRY. The young South Carolina bully who went to the Oregonian editorial rooms to do up the editor because the Oregonian had shown up the gas graft showed a lack of judgment and com- mon sense, and it is evident that he should go to sea for a few years of do work out in a logging camp, where he would meet people of his mental ealt- ber and be somewhat subject to dis- cipline. The Oregonian has done @ very useful and commendable service in showing up the gas graft, and its work is highly appreciated by nearly all the people of this city. If inci dentally and necessarily Mr. Adams ‘and Mr. Teal were rubbed the wrong way a little, that Is nothing to make an assault about. It is not supposed that these gentlemen prompted the assault by young Johnson, or what- ever his name is, but that they have such a fool friend and defender Is somewhat embarrassing to them. The young South Carolinian 1s doubtless one of that sort of Southern chivalry who go out and help lynch colored men on the slightest sort of provoca- tion, and supposes that if he has an imagined grievance against any one he can relieve his pent-up feelings by acting the swashbuckler and "doing him up,” but he will find, if he stays in this part of the country long enough, that this sort of Southern bra- vado and impudence “don’t go” here, and quickly leads to a jail. Young Johnson had better go a little slow hereafter, or he will find himself the one that is “done up.” Office, 43% Second St., cor. Ash, Rooms 1 and 2, Portland, Oregon.

The general concensus of opinion among the political wisecases is that the race for governor lies between Dr. Withycombe and Mr. Johns. Of course Mr. Schlbrede and Mr. Brown, as everybody understands, are "not in it," and the feeling prevails generally that ex-Governor Geer is making a hopeless fight. Mr. Geer has many friends, and a good many of them feel that he was not treated right by being turned down by the convention four years ago for renomination, but the Mitchell element dominated that convention, and Geer had affiliated with the other camp, and that was enough. He is recognized as a man of ability, and has spent much time and labor in behalf of the Republican party, but these facts will not avail him now, and the outlook is that he will be third in the race. It is acknowledged by those who will not vote for him that Mr. Johns will prove a strong competitor to Dr. Withycombe, and may beat the latter in some of the towns, though it is by no means certain that he can do so in many of them. There is strong opposition to Johns in his own city and county, where Sheriff Brown will poll a good many votes, and Withycombe will poll no inconsiderable number more, while Geer will poll some. Union and Umatilla—and the rest of the Eastern Oregon counties this side—are largely agricultural counties, and the people there know and have great respect for Dr. Withycombe. They may vote quite heavily for Lowell and for an Eastern Oregon candidate for representative, but they care little about what section of the state the governor comes from. What is Lawyer Johns to them? So it would not be surprising if Withycombe got about as many votes in Eastern Oregon, perhaps even more, than Johns. In Portland, Johns will probably run considerably ahead, but as soon as this city is left, Withycombe should and, we think, will far outstrip Johns in every county except, perhaps, Clatsop. So the nomination, as it looks now, lies between Withycombe and Johns, with the odds considerably in favor of the former. NEW JUDGES DESIRED. A good many lawyers, besides very many other citizens, are quietly intimating that it would be a good thing to make the changes which opportunity now affords in the judiciary of the circuit and county courts. The two present incumbents of the circuit court are in most respects worthy and capable men, but there seems to be a prevailing opinion that it would be for the public interest for them to retire, and for younger, more physically and intellectually active and otherwise first-class men to be nominated by the Republicans and elected. Such men, at the solicitation of many friends and acquaintances, including a large portion of the Portland bar, have filed petitions for the nomination, in the persons of R.G. Morrow and Col. C. W. Gantehbein, and it would be a good thing for this district if they should be successful. They are both pre-eminently qualified in every respect for the important positions they seek, and the people will make no mistake in nominating them. The opposition to Judge Webster, of the county court, is increasing daily. The Scandinavians are against him, the union working men are against him, a great many lawyers are against him, and it probably will be discovered on April 20 that a majority of the voters of Multnomah county are against him. It is not denied that he has ability, but he is said to be arbitrary, sometimes strongly prejudiced in wrong directions, exceedingly self-conceited, scornful of the common people, and finally, neglects pub- lic business for weeks at a time to attend to his private business. For these reasons the probability is increasing daily that the nomination will go to Mr. R. R. Giltner, a man exceptionally well fitted for this position, and who will make the county's business paramount to his own. MAYOR OF TACOMA. The mayor of Tacoma for the past two years has been a Democrat, and he is a candidate for re-election, but there is very small chance indeed that he can win this time. Two years ago he ran against a good man, Hon. Louis D. Campbell, but the latter had made himself unpopular during two terms with both the vicious and the church elements, and so Wright slipped in. He has catered to the dives and gamblers, and has failed, it is alleged, to keep his promises in various directions, so that he would have a hard fight to be elected even if Tacoma voters were divided equally in politics, but it is a heavily Republican city and a good strong Republican is pretty sure to win. The Republican city convention had the good judgment to nominate the strongest and best available man, Hon. Robert Laird McCormick, and though there are a few disgruntled politicians of his party; as is always the case, there appears to be no doubt of his election. He will get nearly all the Republican votes, and a good many Democratic votes besides. Mr. McCormick is a business man of great industry and intelligence and rare talent. He has held many prominent positions in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and is one of the most enterprising business men who ever came to the Pacific Northwest. He promises a strictly business administration, along progressive lines, and his motto is, "For a greater Tacoma." His election will be a good thing for that city, and as mayor he will do much to make his motto come true. -DAVE B. MACKIE One of the leading and most popular candidates for the nomination in this county for representative in the legislature is Mr. Dave B. Mackie, who is prominent in that class of young business men of this city that is noted for its public-spirited progressiveness in everything that tends to promote legitimate growth and development of our commercial and political advancement. Mr. Mackie is held in the highest esteem by all who know him as a man of profoundest honor, strictest integrity, attractive personality and well-known ability. He will make a strong candidate and an ideal legislator. He is familiar with the duties of members of the legislature and equally so with the needs of the people for whom that body makes good laws and unmakes bad ones. Should he receive the nomination, there can be no doubt of his election by a splendid majority. Those who do not know Mr. Mackle personally should become acquainted with him, for there has been named no better, safer and abler man to represent them in the state legislative body, for which he served most creditably and honorably as calendar clerk. He represents the most progressive element in the Republican party. We need another senator, to this we all agree, But among the bunch of candidates, which one shall it be? There's Lowell, Smith and Watson, and Jonathan and Cake— Among this list of patriots, which one shall we take? Well, Lowell and Smith won't do at all, for in Portland they don't dwell, And if Bourne is mentioned to voters, they smile, and say, "O what a sell!" Mr. Cake is quite a rustler, but is rather a light weight, But Watson fully fills the bill, and best can serve the state. Now, the man for representative is nearly as much bother; Most voters don't exactly like this, that, nor yet the other. There's little Billy Lachner, who no show at all does stand, And yet he's rather preferable to foxy Johnny Rand. So many will vote for Ellis to be their representative Moses. And as they cast their votes for him will elevate their noses. But many more, we trow, will see that fitter than all the rest. Is George S. Shepherd, of the four can surely serve them best. Now, the governor of Oregon's a Democrat, which doesn't seem quite right: The Illinois Central maintains excelled service from the west east and south. Making close contacts with trains of al transcontinental lines passengers are given choices routes to Chicago, Louisville, phils and New Orleans, and the these points to the far east. Prospective travelers desire formation as to the lowest rate best routes are invited to corr But of five Republican candidates, which one should win the fight? The Coos Bay man may be all right, but he stands no show at all; And the vote of Brown, though he's a good man, will be correspondingly small. Ex-Governor Geer, the wiseacres say, has talked himself to death. And on April 20 will feel the chill of the slim cayuse's breath. So it lies between Johns and Withycombe, and we think when the votes are in. That the farmer-teacher candidate will be the one who will win. Now, for secretary of state we have four runners in the race, And all have started off at the word at quite a clipping pace. There's Benson of Southern Oregon, and Wrightman and Gatch and Pearce— The last three of Salem, where, 'tis said, the fight is getting fierce. They're all nice gentlemen in their way, and worthy men, no doubt, But only one of them can get in, while the other three must keep out; And we'll tell you plainly that of the four Mr. Wrightman the winner should be, And with this we believe that voters, enough will cordially agree. To handle the cash of Oregon, six candidates do run— There are Carter of Jackson, and Jennings of Lane, and Aitkin of Huntington: Of Multnomah Hoyt, and from Clack-amas two, Judge Ryan and G. A. Steel; And of the lot you may take your pick, just as you think and feel; But we think the men up south have no show, and that Portland this place should yield; That Ryan is "nowhere," leaving but two fleet runners in the field, And that of these in the homestretch run, as the ballots will reveal, The winner will be that splendid man, whose name is George A. Steel. (To be continued.) TACOMA NOTES Meredith sells good butter, 1106 Commercial street, Tacoma, Wash. Free—one car ticket with each $1.00 purchase of teas, coffees, canned or package goods.

When the sap begins to flow, Ere the green begins to show, To the maple grove we he lie, On a creaking wain, piled high With our kettles, pails and boards, And our dippers made of gourds, With a knife of whittle spiles, With an ax to use tween whiles, Chopping wood to boil the pot Filled from each sweet flowing slot; With an egg, "to clear," that grows Toothsome, as our Bobby knows, After passing through the sweet, Plus the fabled "peck" we eat. Coatless, Caleb bears the pall; Hetty, somehow, goes with Cale, With her gourd to dip the sap From the trough beneath each tap; How they delve and work, those two, Back and forth the whole day through And their elders point them out Unto Bob, who hangs about Where the kettle, foaming, bolls, Hoping for the skimmer's spoils. Our knowing Bob has faith but small In virtue, whose reward is all Within itself, and so concludes To conjugate these unknown moods. "I'll bet they drink the sap," quoth he. "I'll watch behind this maple tree." "STAND BEFORE THE PREACHER." Up saunters Cale, and Hetty soon, With glowing faces like the moon At harvest time and eyes that see No peering orbs behind that tree. The gourd dips up the flowing sweet, And Hetty Mits her face to meet Two lips that happen (?) in the way And Cale knees down—but not to pray. "Aha!" says Bob, beneath his breath, "Such goodness tickles me to death; But go it, Cale, you're welcome, too. I'll take the skimmin's—same to you." At eventide, when sugar grains, The youthful helpers—for their pains— With gen'rous ladle well are paid, In maple wax, for cooling, laid Upon tin platters, 'neath the trees, A treat that never fails to please. Then Boh, of course, his finger burns, As are it cools the mass he turns; But Cale and Hetty—well content— Slt watching till the heat is spent, When, forming in a sweet combine, With buttered hands, their lumps they twine And work and pull, till creamy white— The maple wax appears to sigh; With hands oft touching, eyes adame And hearts that beat a tuneful name, "My sweet," 'twas not the wax they meant For that to Bob's lame sister went, As his large share grew wondrous small And ne'er, in truth, grew white at all. When the sugar'n' off is done, With our pots put out to sun, With our gourds hung up to dry, Cakes of maple piled up high, Cale and Hetty stand before The preacher, where the white deal floor Fairlylike mosaic weaves "THE BACK LOG ON THE HEARTH." With the sunshine and the leaves. Ah! the skimmer's empty now, Cale chose best, you will allow. Sugar time again has come, Busy bees begin to hum. And the robin builds her nest On the maple's tallest crest, Whence she blinks one eye below As the sap begins to flow. In the cottage 'neath the tree, Snug as ever snug can be, Still the back log on the hearth Cracklek nightly, to our mirth; As the speckled corn we pop Into snow that makes it hop 'Neath the ancient skillet lid, By its load of live coals hid; As we try with forks long tined Apples that the jam have lined; As we crack our nuts and jokes, Drinking health—we jolly folks— From the old brown pitcher's rim, Filled with cider to the brim, In one corner Hetty sits, Singing softly as she knits, Wooling sleep, while keeping time With her foot, to crooning rhyme, Tapping gently on and off, Rocking that same sugar trough. —Margaret Sullivan Burke in New York Herald.

Carroll, whose annual religious statistics are the most complete and authoritative that we have, has just made public in the Christian Advocate his report of the gains made by the various denominations in 1905. This was 510,155 communicants, as against 808,857 in 1904. The number of churches increased 1,676, as against 2,624 in 1904, and the increase in ministers was only 1,815, as against 3,136 of the year before. The Roman Catholic church reports the largest gain, its total now being estimated at 10,785,496 communicants. Next in size stands the Methodist Episcopal church, numbering 2,910,779. Nevertheless, the Methodists have twice as many churches as the Catholics and 3,400 more ministers. The Baptists gained 72,967, the Presbyterians 26,174, the Episcopalians 19,203, the Lutherans 51,580 and the Christian Scientists 7,441. The Navy's New Torpedo The high-speed, turbine, self-propelling torpedo, known as the Bliss-Leavitt, has been adopted by the United States navy. It travels through the water at the rate of thirty-six knots an hour and has an extreme range of 4,000 yards. Its speed is eight knots faster than the Whitehead torpedo and its distance nearly double. The torpedo is fired from a pneumatic tube 20 feet in length, 2250 pounds of compressed air being required. Increase of Oil Industry A census bulletin, just issued, shows that the petroleum industry has made a large increase since 1900. Last year there were ninety-eight refineries, as compared with sixty-seven in 1900, and the capital invested had increased from $95,000,000 to $136,000,000. An average of 16,771 wage earners are now employed, as compared with 12,199 five years ago. Church and Clergy. The Rev. George M. Babcock has resigned the rectorship of St. Augustine's church, Rhinelander, Wis., with its adjoining missions. Mr. Carl von Krug, a graduate of Princeton and a licentiate of Lackawanna presbytery, was received at a recent meeting of the presbytery. Garret A.

Modern Players Form New Rules and Call the Game (Blinky Dinos) Call the Game "Double Demon." Progressive spelling bee has made its reappearance among the fireside pastimes of the winter season. But it is the spelling bee in a new and more complicated form, which offers greater opportunities for the exercise of ingenuity and resource than were provided by the old form of the game. As it used to be played each player in turn contrived a letter and the first one to spell a complete word lost the game. Thus if five players were competing and the first gave the initial letter "s," the second "t," the third "l," making "s-t-l," and the fourth added "f," the fifth player would have to search his vocabulary for some other word than "stiff." The only way of continuing "s-t-l-f" without completing the word and losing the game would be by adding the letter "i" and switching the game on to the word "stifle" and its derivatives. This was the old progressive spelling bee, whose vogue has declined. The new game, which is known as the "double demon spelling bee," is a further development of it. The novel point is that each player when it comes to his turn has the option of either affixing or prefixing a letter. "This opens out all sorts of new opportunities. Thus in the case already quoted, where the fifth player had to continue the letters "s-t-l-f" he would be able to get out of the difficulty by prefixing the letter "a," thus turning the growing word in the direction of "mastiff." Some people display great ingenuity in playing the "double demon" and discover all sorts of unexpected ways out of difficulties. Thus the other day a well-known lady had to continue the letters "s-c-a-l." She might have added another "l" and continued the word in the direction of "scallop," but the next player happening to be a wobbling conservative politician she had the happy idea of prefixing the letter "i" to "s-c-a-l" and the gentleman, to every one's amusement, was so appalled by the imminence of the dreaded word "f-l-s-c-a-l" that he overlooked the means of escape which lay in pefixing the letter "m" and diverting the game toward the word "m-l-s-c-a-l."—London Mall. ELECTRIC PLANT FOR CUBA. Five Sugar Plantations Equipping with American Machinery. With American Machinery. The export department of the West- loughouse Electric and Manufacturing Company recently received the contract for equipping with electrical apparatus five sugar plantations in Cuba, says the New York Commercial. The contract calls for generators, steam engines, motors and switchboard appliances, the entire order approximating about $100,- 000. The industrial development of Cuba has of late made very rapid strides. Old, abandoned mining plants, of which there are many on the island, are being revived and capital has found ready investment. This made the demand for all kinds of machinery very large, and American manufacturers are receiving the preference from the Cubans, primarily, because the superiority of American machinery is generally recognized and also because the natives are more favorably disposed towards Americans. These sugar plantations which the Westinghouse company is going to furnish with electrical machinery are: The Jatibonico Sugar Company, which has contracted for two 270-kilowatt direct current engine type generators and two 250-horse-power motors, the latter to be directly connected to centrifugal pumps; the Santor Jacito Sugar Company of Guantanamo, for one 150-kilowatt engine generator and a 200-horsepower Westinghouse steam engine, one 100-horse-power direct current motor, switchboard appliances, two complete power plant equipments to Obl Stillman for sugar plants near Llmoues, and another for the Guantanamo Sugar Company which calls, also, for engine type generators with switchboard, steam engine and motors of various sizes. Practical Building. The new Custom House takes its place beside the rest of the modern architecture of New York as an eminently practical building. The old structure on Wall street, with its domical interior, its tremendously deep and gloomy porch, its row of twelve monolithic columns, is full of concessions to the fashions of the day in which it was erected. For that period it was a much more notable undertaking than is the present structure for this. Like many buildings in New York, it was not adapted to the narrow street on which it raises its gloomy, prison-like walls. The new building shows a better adaptation. Though scryscrapers surround it, yet they cannot shut out the light nor interfere with the view. Mr. Gilbert has taken advantage of the site and has met the problems well. Everything points to the likelihood that the officials and the public will find the transfer from Wall street to Battery Park particularly conducive to comfort and prompt dispatch of business. —Century. Natural. "Isn't it funny when a man buys a new automobile he immediately becomes so proud of it?" "Oh, I don't know. 'Pride goes before a fall,' you know."—Philadelphia Press.

THE KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood diseases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as "The King of Blood Purifiers," and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because "IT CURES DISEASE." It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run-down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effects of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains uncontaminated we are fortified against dis- necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains uncontaminated we are fortified against disease, and health is assured; but any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the title of "KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS." It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health-sustaining. Nothing reaches inherited blood troubles like S. S. S.; it removes every particle of the taint, purifies and strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, and supplies it with the healthful properties it needs and establishes the foundation for good health. As a tonic this great medicine has no equal, and it will be found especially bracing to weak, anaemic persons. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured permanently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the disease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. If you are in need of a blood purifier get "THE KING" of them all, S. S. S.—and good results are assured. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired furnished without charge to all who write. St. Jacobs Oil To Get More Strength from Your Food Prof. George Howison of the department of philosophy of the University of California has declared his belief in immortality for animals. THE EXTERNE St. Jac Is the short, sure, easy cure for Rheumatism and Neuralgia To Get Mo from Yo OTS of people are starving with a full stomach. You know, it's not how much we Eat, but how we Digest that makes us Strong, or Brainy, or Successful. When the Bowels are filled with undigested food we may be a great deal worse off than if we were half starved for want of Food. Because, food that stays too long in the Bowels decays there, just as if it stayed too long in the open air. --- Well, when food decays in the Bowels, in delayed and overdue action, what happens? The millions of little Suction Pumps that line the Bowels and Intestines then draw Poison from the decayed Food, instead of the Nourishment they were intended to draw. This Poison gets into the blood and, in time, spreads all over the body, unless the Cause of Constipation is promptly removed. That Cause of Constipation Is Weak, or Lazy, Bowel Muscles. * * * When your Bowel-Muscles grow flabby they need Exercise to strengthen them — not "Physic" to pamper them. There's only one kind of Artificial Exercise for the Bowel-Muscles. Its name is "CASCARETS," and its price is Ten Cents a box. Cascarets act like Exercise on the Muscles of the Bowels, and make them stronger every time they force these Muscles to act naturally. The stronger these Muscles propel the food, the stronger does the friction of the food act on the flow of Digestive Juices. The more of these Juices that act on food, the more Nutrient does that food turn into, and the richer nourishment do the little Suction Pumps of the Intestines draw out of it. Gentlemen:—S. S.
