10 THE MORNING OBEGONIAS. FRIDAY,, APRIL 17, 1903. ONE TIE-UP BROKEN Nonunion Men Go to Work on Failing Building. CONTRACTORS TO FINISH JOB rolntrri, Both Union and Xonnnlon. Are Bosy Danger of a General Tle-Vp of Bnlldlnc la Over. Screened from the gaze of the curious by palnt-bedimmed windows' a number of nonunion workmen went to work yester day morning in the Interior of the Fall, lng building at Third and Morrison streets. The union men would not admit that It was possible for' the contractors. Hc Kenzle & "Wallace, to find enough non union men to complete the Job. The contractors declared that they would, and their promise has been fulfilled. The agent of the Falling estate. W. C Al vord. said some time ago. when the building threatened to be tied up. that none but union men should be employed upon the structure. The contractors, both carpenter and pointing, said that Mr. Alvord" had no authority to tell them what men they should employ. All work upon the building was twice suspended through the action of Sheehy Brotk, the painting contractors. In placing a non union painter upon the Job. The Build ing Trades Council declared that erery workmen employed upon the structure would be called off again If a non union painter was put to work. No members of any of the unions affili ated with the Building Trades Council are at work, therefore, upon the Fall ing building. The plumbers may work all they please for their union Is not connected with the Council. The "brick laying Is completed, so none of the work men In that line are affected. Though the bricklayers are not at present affili ated with the Building Trades Council they are In sympathy with the strike of the painters, and will not work upon any structure upon which a nonunion painter is employed. The present situation of the strike Is an excellent evidence that so much work Is being done In Portland that the owner cannot afford to hare It tied up for any length of time. Both the union painters and the shops employing nonunion paint ers are being crowded to fulfill their con tracts. The strike leaders say an In creasing number of painters are going to work each day for contractors who have signed their scale. The shops belonging to members of the Master Painters' As sociation are far from Idle. In spite of the strike the property-owners will have their buildings painted with but little interruption. The scare of a general strike Is about booked to die a natural death. Whether the painters win or lose their strike, the painting business of the city will go ahead Jurt the same. From the very first day there were reports of buildings awaiting completion on account of a lack of painters. The few delayed for this reason have about all been provided for by one side or another, and scarcely a complaint is heard on this score. The threatened strike of the laborers seems also to have faded away. The Building Trades Council must sanction the strike before It takes place and from what the members say, there Is little probability of this occurring. None of the members of the Laborers Protective As soclatlon seem to be quite sure In their own minds as to what will be done about the demand for higher wages. As lonir as this state of affairs lasts the other unions, of course, cannot be expected to take a very aggressive stand in the matter. XL H. Moorohouse says he will make no further effort to work upon the Weln card building until notified by the archi tect. "When the fracas occurred at the Weinhard. Saturday. Ion Lewis, one of the architects of the building, told Mr. Moorebouse that he would serve a writ' ten notice upon him when the time came for the frames to be painted. The window frames whether or not they should be painted by a nonunion hand were the cause of.. all tea trouble. A peace like unto that of the Weinhard building hangs over the painters' head quarters at Second ana Morrison streets. Few painters can now be found In the halL where last week an idle throng was congregated all day long. The executive board has not suspended Its dally meet' lngs, nor are the patrols throughout the city idle. The Barbers Union at Its last meetlnc Indorsed the strike of the painters. It is hardly possible, however, that the barbers will refuse to cut the hair of a nonunion painter. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

IDAHO SPRINGS, Cola. April 16. A. Rank Hallock, superintendent of tbe Torpedo mine at this place, was shot and killed by his neighbor. Edward Rowse. a bookkeeper, for an alleged Insult offered by Hallock to Rowse's wife. When Rowse went to tbe Hallock home and demanded an apology from Hallock the latter an grily denied the charge. A short time afterward, as Rowse was conversing with a friend in the street In front of Hal lock's house, the latter appeared at the front door with a shotgun In his hand. Rowse Immediately opened fire on him, fatally wounding Hallock. As he fell Hallock fired one shot from his gun. wounding Rowse in the arm. Rowse has been placed under arrest. The Coroner's Jury this evening re turned a verdict to the effect that Rowsr acted in self-defense In killing Hallock. Deputy District Attorney J. W. B. Smith Immediately filed an information against Rowse charging murder. Rowse is too badly wounded to be moved and is now guarded at his house. ORDER REIGNS IN JOPLIN Mayor Enrolls Body of Vlttllnntcs, Which Overawes Mob. JOPLIN, Mo.. April IS. It was feared all day that the mob which last night lynched a tramp negro here, burned the homes of negroes and ran almost every negro out of Joplln. would resume the depredations tonight. Maj or Trigg issued a proclamation today calling a public meeting of good citizens at S o'clock to organize 609 -vigilantes for the preserva tion of order In the city. Although throngs began to fill the streets by nightfall, there was no sign of disorder. The excitement is still in tense, but It Is believed that the Mayor's action has effectually quieted any desire to continue tbe rioting. After a Coroner's Jury had held an In quest over the body of Thomas Gllyard. the young negro lynched last night, he waa buried early today at the city's ex pense. The bullet in GUyard's leg corre sponds with that missing from Officer Leslie's revolver, which fact makes the identity of the dead man sure. Will Contest Appropriation Bill. DENVER. April IS.

DOGS HAVE SECOND DAY I CAXI5ES OX THEIR GOOD BEHAVIOR AT THE) BENCH SHOW. Judge Georgre Raper, of England, Picks the Winners In Many Breeds of Dogfleah. The attendance at the bench show yes terday doubled that of the opening and the dogs behaved themselves In a much more ladylike and gentlemanly manner. Even the fox terriers were less demon strative when a strange canine waa led past their stalls, and satisfied themselves with less vocal exertion. Don. the prize bloodhound, that played checkers with Tracy and Merrill, man aged to slip his collar over his head and proceeded to take a. stroll among the spec tators. A panic was averted, however, by two handlers who did the Alphonse and Gaston stunt, marglng to engage the animal's attention until a fearless dogfancier boldly advanced, laid hold of one of the animal's ears, and escorted him to the bastile whence he came. Professor Hunt's trained dogs and mon keys were at their best and when Fido walked the tight rope he was heartily applauded. One woman became so Infatuated with two fox-hound puppies that she failed to observe a pointer pup in the next stall who feasted himself on a silk tassel which he had chewed from her Jacket. The prize Boston terriers seemed to turn their noses up even higher when they were awarded prizes. The Pomeranian puppies were unusu ally lively and amused a large crowd until one fell Into a pan of bread and milk and had to be rescued by one of the spectators. The pointers wore happy smiles. They had attracted the most at tention of all and nearly everyone had some kind of a ribbon or had received favorable mention from the noted expert. Judge George Raper.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anvone to attempt to doctor himself althougn be may have the proper reme dies at ninu. a vujsiciau anouu always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of the rrin. and by the proper treatment of these diseases a threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. There is no question whatever about this, as dur ing the X years and more that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy haa been used, we have yet to learn of a single case of a ?old or attack of the grip having re- suitea in ittictuawma waea uus remeuy l used.

He emphasized the fact that It was 'necessary for all the friends of the Exposition to take an active part In the preparation for" It, and Insisted that though it might be necessary at times for business men to make a sacrifice of their time, this should be 'done cheer fully. The meeting of the general pas senger agents was declared to be an ex ceptionally favorable opportunity, to spread the fame of the Fair and every member of the special committee was impressed with the importance of the .movemenL It was unanimously agreed by the committeemen present that they would attend the meeting .of tbe passenger as sociation, permitting no business engage ments to interfere with this plan. Mr. Scott was asked to make the nrincinal address before the meeting. Following him. all the members of the committee will make short speeches, pointing out the -great Importance of the Fair to the Northwest and the manner In which the railroads will be benefited. A letter will be addressed immediately to the officers of the association request ing that an hour be named when the Portland committee can be heard. No arrangements have yet been made by the Lewis and Clark Exposition offi cials for any special entertainment of tbe visiting passenger men. but In the event it Is found they have any time on their hands the Fair directors will see that Portland's Interests are placed before them In a favorable llghL An Intima tion has been given that the passenger agents do not desire any Junketing trips, and that they were to come here for business. The wishes of the railroad men will be respected In all particulars. Though there will be several meetings of the general passenger agents prior to tne opening of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, this Is the most favorable op portunity the Fair directors will have of putting the claim of the Exposition be- jfore the railroad men. They are the omclals who will make the low rates to Portland, and they are the ones who will advertise the Fair throughout the EasL It is especially desired that the Fair shall be placed before the passenger men at the earliest opportunity. Not only thaL but the meeting In Portland will give the most favorable opportunity for speaking to the railroad men. At an outside meeting It would be necessary to either send representatives or to write letters, and in neither way can as sat isfactory "results be accomplished! These facts are fully appreciated by the di rectors of the Lewis and Clark Expos! tion. and every advantage will be taken of the present opportunity. When the advantages of the Lewis and Clark Exposition to the Coast and its effect upon tbe entire country Is placed before the General Passenger Association with a request for favorable rates the Lewis and Clark Fair will have estab lished a new record. It is more than two years before the Fair will be opened and the showing will have been made earlier than any other Fair has ever been placed before the railroad passenger agents. That great good will follow this action Is expected not alone by the Fair directors but by tbe railroad men In the city and the general public. The Universe and Man. MTRTLE POINT. April IS.

"Materialism raav not be true. but It Is at least logical and Impressive. : a construction may be logically put to gether, but what goes Into that construc tion! What is the major premise? What is the minor premise? Materialism starts with matter and Is Impressive as the gos pel of the flesh. Is It not Just as logical to start with God, and is not a gospel of spirit Just as Impressive? The leader also says that "Man Is the product of the earth: and It Is quite the necessary thing that he should find upon it things adapted to his use. This Is not providence, but necessity. We are tempted sometimes to give thanks for things that could hardly have been otherwise-. "Who created ne cessities, and who has acted according to tH lew nnl iv tho 1nr he rifte marl? Why should not man be thanklul to God that according to such laws such results have come to him? It may not affect God so much as himself. If he is thank ful for night and morning. Man may see his dependence upon a higher power. I hive no quarrel with Mr. Spencer when he says we are in the presence ot the great unknown: let him not despise me when I am Jubilant In the revelation of the unknown In work and word, and that the darkness Is lighted into day. We all know that laws are uniform; day follows night. Spring succeeds Winter: but may we not look a little deeper? Does night make day? Does Winter create Spring? To follow is one thing, to cause another. So we catch the law of causation. The causing of effects to come with uniform ity so we may know what to depend upon. In fine, adjustment In causation. Is what we need and have, and may thtnkfully recognize.' But how about our miracles? How about the Easter wonder? Is not this Interference with law? No. not with the law ot causation. These exception for specific moraV purposes have their cause In God. After all Is It not a greater exhi bition of power for God to direct the uni verse In Its ordinary movements than to bring to pass an Interruption? Volcanos are not so great exhibitions of power as sunbeams. The supernatural is older than the natural, for creation Is the former. Let us be thankful for a print that makes Its readers think, and that welcomes any voice worth hearing. B. J. HOADLEY. FORGER ARRESTED. S. M. Marsh Placed In Custody at Los Angeles. A dispatch was received at police head quarters yesterday from the Chief of Po lice of Los Angeles. CaL, stating that S. M. Marsh, colored, had been arrested there charged with passing a 'bogus check on Ben Selling, of this city, and receiving 133 on it. Marsh's arrest was effected by a telegram sent by Detective Joseph Day, and the chances are that Marsh will be brought here for trial charged not only with passing a bogus check in this city, but to explain similar operations in Spo kane and Everett, When Detective Day was In Minneapolis, several months ago. Marsh was pointed out to him as a man who was going to the Pacific Coast very soon, and who would no doubt try bis hand at raising money at the check game. When Mr. Selling reported his loss and gave a description of the colored man who had passed the bogus check. Day at once recognized the fine hand of Marsh. It was found, however, that the accused had left town, and, knowing something of the man s methods. Day sent a telegram to Los Angeles, with the result that the missing man was captured.

Nobody imitates that which Is not good or successful. If we did not do all that we claim and treat diseases of men with better results than others, other specialists would not lift our advertisements bodily from the paper, attach their own names and try to Imitate our treatment. This Is constantly being done in nearly every city In tbe TVest. Do not be deceived, accept no treatment founded upon our principles except It be obtained from our office. TO WAIT FOR ONE FEE USTIL EFFECTED. "Weakness" To produce temporary activity of the functions in cases ot so-called "weakness" Is a simple matter, but to permanently restore strength and vigor is a problem that but -few physicians have solved. Under our system of treatment every btt of Improvement is part of a perma nent cure. Though other physi cians have, through bur success In effecting permanent cures, been convinced that prematureness. loss of power, etc, are but symptoms resulting from chronic inflammation or congestion In the prostate gland, none have been able to duplicate our cures. Our system of mainly local treatment is the only effect ive means yet known for restor ing the prostate to Its normal state, which always results in full and complete return ot strength and vigor Such a cure Is absolutely permanent, because the condition responsible for the functional dis order Is entirely removed. It Is the only kind of a cure a patient de sires, and Is the only kind of a euro we treat for. Specific Blood Poison Unu the perfection of our sys tem of treatment specific blood poison was regarded as Incurable and the limit of medical aid was to keep the disease dormant by the use of strong mineral drugs. We posi tively -rive the last taint of poison from the system. Our cures are ab solute. Every symptom vanishes to appear no more. We use harmless blood-cleanlng remedies only, such as were never before used In the treatment of this disease. 52$
