THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1903. FORM OF THE BILLS Two Required for Lewis and Clark Appropriation. ONE TO PROVIDE THE, MONEY One to Authorize Special Election In Cane -Ilcferendnm I'roceetHnpm :Sh'nlI He ItcNortcd To Sent to Multnomah Uelefiratlon. The bills to be Introduced- in the Ore gon Legislature to make provision for the LewiH and Clark celebration in 1505 were put In dellnite shape by the committee on legislation yesterday afternoon and sent to the Multnomah delegation in tne even ing. There are two bills, one to appropri ate $5l.eO0 for the Exposition, only half of which is to be made available in one year, and the other providing for a spe cial election In case referendum proceed ings shall be entered upon. As the law now stands, there is no authority for a special election for a referendum, and If a petition to refer should be filed, the mat ter would go over until a general election, which would make the appropriation too late to be of service. Under the bill drawn, the referendum would be deter mined by next September. It does not seek to Interfere with the referendum privilege, but merely to hasten proceed ings under it. Several alterations In the bill previously drawn were made, mostly on suggestion of Secretary of State Dunbar, whose advice in the matter had been asked. These per tained to such matters as taking the ap propriation from the general fund Instead of a special fund, as had at first been contemplated, separating more clearly the appropriation from the revenue-raising features and other more or less technical matters which relieve the measure of am biguity. The Appropriation Bill. The appropriation bill, as finally decided upon. Is as follows: A bill for an act to celebrate the 100th anni versary ol the xploration of the Oregon Coun try br Captains Meriwether Lwls and am Clark during their expedition from the Missis sippi River to the Pacific Ocean In the years 1S04. 1605 and 180G, and to provide and author ize a commission representing the State of Oregon to hold at the City of Portland, in said state, an exhibition of arts, Industries and manufactures and the products of the rivers, soil, mine, forest and sea in said city: to pro vide for representation of the State of Oregon, and the collection, arrangement and display of an exhibition of Its industries and manufac tures and the products of its rivers, soil, mines, forests and other resources at St. Louis, In the State of Missouri, in the year 1004. at the In ternational exhibition to be held Sn said city during said year, to celebrate the 100th anni versary of -the purchase of the Louisiana Ter ritory by. the United Stataes and to appropriate the sum of $500,000 for all the said purposes.

He did not do Xhls Vitalise he was a hypochondriac. In con stant fear of Illness and death; on the contrary he was an exceptionally robust man. but he realized that the principal asset in his enormous Business was nis own personal health, and to keep pnysic ally and mentally well ana strong was business proposition, pure and simple. It la so with every business man and woman. A slight cold In the head or throat may pass off In a few days, or It mav develop Into Pneumonia, Chronic Catarrh, or an irritating throat trouble In any event. Its. depnrture should be hastened by some elmple antiseptic prep aration like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which are dissolved in the mouth and thus reach and destroy the germs of Catarrh Pneumonia, Consumption, before they have a chance to propagate and thrive In the Inflamed mucous membranes of the nceo and throat. To burden the stomach with drugs and stimulants is a foolish and often danger ous way to combat a cold, because etimu lants are always followed by correspond ing depression and where there Is any tendency to Pneumonia Increases the danger by Increasing the heart's action. A popular school .teacher in Pittsburg writes: "I am a walking advertisement for Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; the chang from a crowded steam-heated schoolroom to a raw, chill out doors kept me nursing colds In the head and throat from Fall to Spring. Throat Irritation made It difficult for me to read or oopak and conduct my classes. My druggist with whom I spent a large part of my salary for cough lozenges and potash tablets one day ad vised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and I shall never cease to thank him. I still catch cold occasionally, but I stop It In a day or two with the tablets, and I have done missionary work with my pupils to such an extent that coughs and colds are almost unknown amongst tho youngsters In my room."

Colo., says: "You are at liberty to repeat what I first stated through our Denver papers about Doan's Kidney Pills In the Summer of 1SS9. for I have had no reason In the interim to chance my onlnlon of the remedy. I said when first interviewed that If I had a friend and acquaintance suffering from back ache or kidney trouble I would unhesi tatingly advise them to go to a drug store for Doan's Kidney Pills and take a course of the treatment. I was sub ject to severe attacks of backache for a considerable length of time, always aggravated If I sat long at a desk. It struck me while reading a newspaper that If Doun's Kidney Pills performed half what they promised, they mlsht at least help. This Induced me to try the reme dy. It absolutely stopped the backache. I have never had a twitch or twinge since." Just such evidence can be had here at home. Ask the Laue-Davls Drug Company what their customers say about Doan's Kidnfty Puis. Sold for 30 cents per box.
