The strain of overwork tells on the weakened kidneys more quickly than ! on any other organ of the body. The j hurry and worry of business men, the : heavy lifting and stooping of workmen, the women's household cares, tend to wear, weaken and Injure the kidneys until they can no longer filter the pol I son from the blood and the whole body I suffers from the waste matter that ac cumulates. The weakened kidneys need quick assistance. Doan'a Kidney ' Pills are prepared especially for sick, j weakened kidneys; tired, worn-out i backs have cured thousand of such cases. Convincing proof in an Oregon ' City citizen's statement, i Frank H. Busch, Jr., Main "St, Ore ' gon City, Ore., says: "I suffered from acute attacks of kidney and bladder trouble for some time and got no re 1 lief until I tried Doan's Kidney Pills. The contents of two boxes disposed of my complaint and I have had no re turn attack. I consider Doan'a Kidney i Pills an excellent preparation." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

"I've had to much bad luck," said the gloomy man, "that I lie awake half the night thinking about my trou bles." "The cure for that" they told him, "Is to quit thinking of your own trou bles. Think of other people's." "I'll try It." be said. Three months later they met him igaln. "Well, how did It workr they asked. "Didn't do any good," be replied. "I Be awake all night now thinking of other people's troubles." How the Jewels Were Carried Off By EDNA C. WHITNEY "There'll a good deal of blundering lu your business, .Isn't there?" I said to Leonard Kelp, a detective of high Handing "Well. I reckon I've done my share f It," be replied. "Tho crooks study to bent us mid we study to bent them It's to be expected that we'll get the worst of it sometime. It's like other things one hus to leant, n mutter of ex perienco. When 1 began I got fooled lots o' time. The troublu with me miih that I was too mart. "Tell tue about one of your curious cases. "Ouo I had only a few yours ago hnd some points of Interest In It. We got en nnouymons letter stilting Hint the butler and lady's maid at a swell bouse In a suburban towu would ruu away on a certain night carrying a lot of plunder lu Jewels with then). We were cautioned, however, against giving way the Information. All we were ex pected to do was to be en baud and take 'em In when they started out. "Well. I concluded to so by the let ter I received. It'a best not to take a matter of that klud Into your own hands lest you spoil It nil. Wo went to the place an hour before tbo expect ed exit and waited till an hour after the time. I was getting pretty tired and was about to give It up, thinking the caso was one of those bits of false Information detective agents get so much of. when I saw a figure moving along the side of the house staggering under something, I couldn't tell what. Getting nearer, I saw him put a ladder up to one of the back windows, then throw a handful of gravel agnlust the panes. "I waited and In a few minutes saw something white waving In the win dow. The sash hnd been put up. but so carefully that I hadn't heard any noise. The next thing I could distin guish was something dark coming down the ladder, but It was so dark 1 couldn't see things continuously. I heard a slight sound, which I Judged to be the ladder removed from under the window, then saw or heard nothing more till two figures passed within a few yards of where I was standing be hind a tree. I followed In their wake and when tbey got out In the roud 1 could see that they were a uiuu and a woman, the mnn carrying a ult case. 'They took the direction of the rail way station, and when tbey reached the street leading down to It they dl verged, and I knew Just what they were going to do. There was only one train leading Into the city at that hour of the night, and they had timed their exit to take It. "Tbey reached the station ten uiln utes before the schedule time for the train, and I went up on to the plat form as though Intending to take the train myself. I made up my mind us soon as I looked at them that I bad a slick pair to deal with. They were made up first class. No one would ever have taken the butler for any thing, but a gentleman, and tbe maid must hnve been prettier than her nils tress. They were both In traveling rig. and, though they probably bud on their master's and mistress' clothe, their costumes fitted perfectly. I thought It best to take them lu before the train came along, so I walk ed up to them and said to the man, 'I'll trouble you for that suit case.' There was a scene, of course, but I bad an assistant ready and called btm. I took tbe suit case from tbe hands of tbe butler and demanded tbe key. He gave It to me at once, and, opening tbe case, there, sure enough, were the Jew els mixed in with women's lingerie. " 'See here,' said the fellow, 'this la a robbery at an unfrequented railway station at midnight Now, I'll make you an offer. We are eloping, and I've got a hundred dollars In my pocket I'll give you rather than be exposed. Let us go with our property and the money is yours.' "I laughed at him. telling him that 1 had been Informed of the 'elopement' and was Dot to be fooled by bis story. Tbe lady's mnld was about to go Into hysterlfs when two girls and two fel lows rushed out from a dark corner, one of the girls shouting: 'it's all right, Mr. Detective. I put np a Joke on them. I wrote that letter, knowing tbey were going to elope, but I didn't know. Kit, you'd take It so bard.' "She put ber arms around tbe elop ing girl and tried to quiet ber, whlcb was no easy Job. The groom looked as though he would like to kill this Joking friend who bad brought ber friends with her to see tbe fun. "As soon as I saw that It was a genuine elopement, with a frolic of youngsters added, I took tbe matter In good part, pronounced it a capital Joke and Interceded with tbe bride and groom for the Joker's forgiveness. She was tbe bride's sister, and it was all In the family. But there wasn't much time to make up. for tbe train whis tled and In a few moments pulled up to tbe station. The elopers got aboard, and tbe young scamps who bad played tbe Joke fired a volley of rice and old shoes at them as the train pulled out "That's the biggest sell on me I ever bad In this detective business." "It was a pretty nerlous Joke to play, wasn't Itr "Serious! Did yon evpr hear of a young madcap like that taking any- thing seriously? That girl wouldn't stop at anything. And It's all right too. Tbey get Into the serious busi ness of life soon enough. They have to crowd the fnn Into mighty few years." 8aved By His Wife.

L IS L Shearing of wool la Oregon Is much earlier than usual, but up to this time operations have been nominal. A week or ten days of mild weather ill bring the season to a head and operations in tue w.na.uCi, ,..w will become general. Lambing Is over in the valley and some of the recent receipts of Iamb pelts have shown quite long flleeces Thin would indicate that within a short time the lambs will be able to take care of themselves. This will al low owners to shear the older ani mals. Practically the only shearing of con sequence now reported In Oregon Is in the souther end of the Willamette valley. A small amount of this stocK ? are reported on the basis of lGe for medium to fine fleeces. This Is for delivery at Portland. The price for eastern Oregoa wool is not really opened, although a few transactions have been reported for mutton stock from 13c to 15c a pouJd. me Kucmi f'""", f" from 12c to 14c. acordlng to shrink. !llt!

Ho- fur as run be ascertained at this time no business Is passing. While a small number of old ord ers have been filled during the Init tew days, this Is the extent of the trunmictlons since tho recent sharp decline In tho price In California. Whllo the buying price hns hneu nominally placed at (1.75 for extra fancy stock, dealers have turned down offers of this quality at the price men tioned, during tho past 24 hours. Dealers are buying some potatoes from carload buyers, but even this business Is limited, as everyone seems to nntlclpate a slow market for some time to romo. There has been no change In the po tato situation at Caliioratu points dur ing the paat GO hours, accumulations at the leading centers being rather severe and there Is no Inclination ninong buyers to take on additional supples. T Offering of potatoes of Willamette valley growers Is now the heaviest of the season. While a few growers ore still disposed to chase rainbows In tho shape of a 3 market In the country, others are qulto content to accept the present price. Purchases In the valley are reported from $l.0 to $1.75 per cental f. o. b. chipping points. The (utter Is for ex treme select quality and It Is hel.ig puld only in Isolutcd Instances. Southern markets continue dull. At San Francisco the trade Is slow and nales of Oregon stock are being made at shaded values In order to unload more promptly. While Los Angelos waa extremely strong for potatoes ev en whllo San Francisco was showing Its greatest weakness that trade Is now likewise curtailed anu me out ward movement Is small, Mall advices as well as telegraphic messages received by locul shippers from their Lob Angeles and San Fran cIsco connections are generally of the same trend that the market will be come more actve after a while hut no hope Is expressed of bettor prices. DEMAND FOR LIVE STOCK IS STRONG The Portland Union Stock Yards Company reports as follows: Receipts for the past week have been Cattle 1590; calves 6; hogs iht; sheen 4444: horses 12. In tho cattle division both steers and cows had a good stiff domand with not enough offering to supply the numerous buyers In the yards. Top steers sold as high as 10.05, though most of the receipts were below top quality and the majority of sales rang ed around 10.30 to lii.DO iop cows brought $5.75 with very few on the market of any kind. No veal calves were sold stags and bulls ranged steady to strong at former quotations. With very little In sight at the pres ent for next week prospects are bright for a continued advance In all lines. Hogs opened the week's sales at $7.20 but by the end of the week top pers were easily bringing $7.50 witn buyers anxious to secure more. Heavy hoKs at present are selling around 10.50 to $0.75 being quite an advance over former quotations Mutton sheep of all kinds continue to be very scarce and the market is quoted a quarter higher on all classes. Sheared lambs brought $5.60. Seven cars of sheep on the market this morn ing not yet sold so we are unahle to elve latest Quotations. However, as lone as receipts are light prices will undoubtedly keep an upward tend ency.

IttKir(s from there Indlcnte that tbe middle west In a strong bliblor for supplies and a high as $2 per rental has been pnbl there f. o, b. station. This Is the high est price ever known for tho Interior stock. At Wllumette valley points the mar ket Is getting more nctlvo after a few days of rest. Values as a rule range close to $1.75 for extra choice stock and a number of deals have been re ported at this flguro during tho past 21 hours. There hns been no Improvement In the situation at Sun Francisco. The market there remains at the low lev el of lust week. The buying of pota toes In the interior by the middle wet deHlers disproves the report given out by Saa Francisco sMculutors hero that the east was shipping potatoes to California. The murkot at Ynklma has been rather weak recently, and some of the California speculators have gone Into that territory a .id have purchased heavily, whllo doing nothing but talk of high prices horo. If they cna sue reed In exciting growers here to hold while tbey unload the low-priced Yak ima purchases they will win a big sum. Saves Leg of Boy.

FLOUR BLEACHERS ARE FACING TABOO Flour bleachers are going to hnve very rough sledding from this time forth If the present activities of the trade would Indicate any thing. California buyers are stirred up ov er the fact that Washington and Ore gon millers ure sending the artificially whitened Hour Into thnt territory, and there Is strong agitation against a continuance, of tho practice. According to an advlco rocolved from the south tbo trade there will prnctlenlly boycott all northwest flour that does not show on the sacks that the product M not bleached. This, It Is stuted will be taken as a last re sort. If the government prosocutes the offenders for vlolutlon of the pure food law the private Interests will not take up the matter. Flour millers who are not bleaching their product are Joining tho fight against the dopors. The only reason why flour I bleached Is that It en ables the miller to purchase low priced wheat and after blenching make the product rcBcmhlo the grinding of high er priced gruln.
