Lived To gether lor 35 Years, lmt "Wom an. "Would Not Belteconciled. While entrafred In the trial, of a divorce rasa vesterdav Judce Frazer took occa- eion to remark that It was time the court put a stop to easy divorces .and also mat ordinary family jars did not lunula ui- ficent grounds for a divorce. - In the case of Emma A. 'iomunson nrrninst Terrv Tomllnson. -where the liti gants were married In 1SS7 In Connecti cut. Judge Frazer reluctantly announceu a decree dissolving the matrimonial bonds. His honor stated that after peo ple had lived together for over 35 years and after they had passed the meridian nf Ufa and needed each other for com pany, and their children were grown and married, it seemed a pity they could not get along together. It was a pretty hard thing to separate them. The evidence adduced in this case showed that Tomlinson visited his former home In Connecticut in May, 1902, And while there met Sarah Chatfield, a sweet heart of his youthful days, whose hus band had died a short time afterwards. The old love returned, and. before long they both decided that it would be Im possible for them to live apart. Tomlln e on returned to his family In Portland, and, according to the testimony of Mrs. Tomlinson, he had not been back long until she got hold of a letter which he had received from the Chatfield woman. In this letter Sarah Chatfield tells Tom linson that she knows he cannot be happy withqut her, and tells hlnl that she has some money and there is plenty of work in Connecticut, and if he needs money she will send it to him to pay his fare. Mrs. Tomlinson stated that Tomlinson told her he desired to go East, and his excuse was that he desired to enter the Soldiers Homo In Connecticut, being a member of the G. A. R. When she informed him about the let ter he replied, "I am glad you have got it. It saves me telling you what my plans are for the future." , Mrs. Tomlinson also testified that her husband abused her of late and her life with him was one of turmoil. Tomlinson is still in Portland. He was served per sonally with notlco of the suit and did not appear to defend it. Judge Frazer asked G. C. Moser, attorney for Mrs. Tom linson, if itj was not possible for the liti gants to come together and settle their differences, saying It did not seem right to separate a couple who had been hus band and wife so long and whose children were married. Mr. Moser said Mrs. Tom linson would not consent to a reconcilia tion, and the court, after receiving this Information, ordered the decree of divorce entered. Judge Frazer dismissed the suit of Ma tilda Osier against Robert Osier, a saloon-keeper, holding that the plaintiff did not make out a case. Mrs. Osier called her two boys, George andJWlllle Osier, as witnesses In her behalf, but their testi mony favored their father to a consid erable extent. They said that they had never heard any row between them, and that their father treated their mother pretty welL Mrs. Osier testified that her husband, was violent and abusive, drank tcT excess and made false accusations against her. They were married at Ausable, Michigan, in 1BS1. Judge Frazer In dismissing the case, said that ordinary family Jars were not sufficient grounds for granting a divorce, and also said the fact that a man abused his wife by calling her names and swearing at her, or humiliated her by false accusations, Tvai not sufficient grounds for a divorce unless ho did so publicly and In the presence of her friends and neighbors. Emma C. Hart was divorced from Will lam O. Hart because of desertion, and was awarded the custody of the minor child. They were married In Portland August 10, 1S95. Mrs. Hart testified .that her husband abandoned her In the year 1S9S, going to Honolulu, and since she had been compelled to work to support herself and offspring. " and accounts for inspection and Fleming answered that he had no time to look at them, and would take them to Portland. Smith avers further that he entered Into a contract with Catterlln to sell Smith's stock for him and, receiving no money or report of sales, on June 5 and Juno 11, 1903, demanded the return of the stock cer tificates. Fleming answered that Cat terlln had no claim on the stock, but the shareholders of the company were dis satisfied because of Smith's refusal to make a statement regarding what had become of the $4107 belonging to the cor poration. On receiving this information, which he avers was untruthful. Smith -asserts that he wrote to the Prosecuting Attorney of Marlon County, asking him to file an indictment against Fleming for larceny by bailee of his stock, and soon after re ceived a letter from Fleming telling him that the writer was aware that he (Smith) had written to John H. McNary, Deputy District Attorney. Smith also states in his answer that Fleming then came to Portland and brought this suit against him for the purpose of preventing his being charged with crime, and restraining the delivery of the stock. Fleming, it is averred, knew his statements were fraudulent and un truthful, and Pickthorn, one of the sign ers of the complaint, never read it Fleming, it Is charged.

Hlbbs and W. with having fraudulently obtained pos session of $1107 belonging to the corpora tion, and with having refused to tell what has become of the money. It Is asserted further that the directors of the com pany have declined to take legal steps against Smith to obtain the money, and consequently the plaintiffs, who are stockholders, have sued. There Is a fur ther allegation that Fleming holds 13,165 shares of stock belonging to Smith, vand the court is asked to 'restrain him from delivering the stock to Smith pending the determination of this suit. The restrain ing order was granted. In answer filed by Fleming for himself and in behalf of the company it Is set forth that it Is not true that the board of directors refused to-sue Smith for an accounting, and the charge is repeated that Smith has declined to furnish vouch ers showing the purpose for which the 54107 was expended. Smith has filed an answer denying all the charges made against him and accus ing Fleming and others of misdeeds. He denies that the officers of the company refused to sue him. He avers that 14110 belonging to the company was deposited In the Grants Banking & Trust Company, of Grant's Pass. The superintendent of the corporation, F. E. Fobes, it is stated, employed three to ten men sinking a shaft 170 feet deep, erecting houses and putting up a mill and machinery. Smith asserts that he "used the money paying bills. The money, he' says, was received fromteales of treasury stock made by F. J. Catterlln. Catterlln, It is averred, Induced F. B. Fobes, T. J. McClung and W. S.

Catterlln turned In 5 cents a share for stock, for which It Is asserted he received 7 to 15 cents per share, and declined to account for the difference, claiming he was al lowed as commission all he collected over 5 cents a share. On April 7, 1903, It Is stated. Catterlln came to Grant's Pass with R. J. Flem ing and represented that Fleming was at torney for the stockholders, when in fact, so Smith avers, Fleming was attorney for Catterlln. Fleming stated that he would advance money to carry on the business "of the corporation, and at his request Smith resigned as president and Fleming was elected to that office.

NEW YORK, Oct 9. Ex-President and Mrs.. Cleveland have taken a cottage at Lakewood, N. J., where it is expeoted they will spend much of the Winter sea son. It Is for the benefit of Mrs. Cleve land's health that the temporary change has been made. She has not regained her strength since tho birth of the baby, Francis Grover, and tho family physi cian decided a stay among tho pines of Lakewood would be beneficial. Mrs, Cleveland has left Princeton with the children, including the baby. Mr. Cleve land will join them tomorrow. The cot tage Is one they occupied during the lde'nt, Mrs. Sarah A. Evans. oromntlv at 2:00, although there were many arrivals tnrougnout the afternoon. The club opens Its season under bright auspices this Autumn, great interest in every branch of its work being displayed Dy au tne members. After reports had been read, a commit tee from the Federation of Women's Clubs presented a request that the mem bers of this club Join In the work of beautifying Thurman street as an an- proach to the Exposition grounds, sug gesting that a per capita assessment be made to help meet the expense. Mrs. Hovt. who presented the matter, stated that she had personally visited the residents and property-holders along tho street, and all had pledged themselves to do their part and help make the proposition a success. The planting of rose bushe3 along the curbs is the most favored idea. and tho residents volunteer to carefully culltvate the shrubs if the clubs will have them planted. The Dewls and Clark offl cials will furnish the rose bushes at cost price. A motion to make the proposed assessment was promptly seconded and carried. A xecess of five minutes set everybody to chatting and planning future events In clubdom, and it took a good deal of rapping to get the ladles back in their seats. The president's message was next in order and was delivered in voice and style that would have done credit to William Jennings Bryan. Mrs. Evans touched on all matters In which she con sldered the constitution lax or Insufficient and dealt sterling advice In a fqarless manner. The address was most favorably received by all and this officer genially applauded. The corresponding secretary. Mrs. A. C Newill, next addressed the club on the "Relation of the Departments to the Club' and advanced many Ideas as to changes In these departments, which re ceived Instant recognition and approba tion. Mrs. NewlU'B scheme of merging tho German, French, Shakespeare and other departments of study into one lit erary department was adopted. Mrs, Newill is full of bright plans for club management, all of which are thoroughly practical. After adjournment, tho social committee provided light refreshments and a regu lar reunion was indulged In by tho old members. The club topio for tho year is "west and East" Winter of 1S93-3, prior to tho second in auguration, and has been known since Smith states that he produced bis books) as tho "Little White House." ADDRESS OF Trfe PRESIDENT." Mrs. Sarah. A. Evans Reviews Prog ress of.the Put Year. In stepping across tho threshold anJ entering the elchth year of our club life, it 1b not as the untried child of a few years ago, but aa an organization that has passed the expert' mental ctaro, and arrived at the age of re sponsibility. "We have iron through all the ills Incident to childhood. We have had our colic and been taught to laugh, figuratively rpeaxln?; we have bod our measles and whoop lng cough; we have had our pleasures and received our discipline; but, having attained the full stature of womanhood, the question for us to consider la: Do we stand well equipped with the. complete organization, the strong characteristics and determination consistent with tho dignity of our years, and tho work that is before us? The conditions and environments of a child s lifo will often add to its responsibilities as an adult, as well as palliate a ioult, or safe guard a future. As we talce a backward look at the childhood! of our club, this becomes most apparent. ' Our responsibilities have been Increase a Dy the Dalnstaklng. conscientious service of each of my predecessors, and tho unselfish devotion of the various boards with which they nave been eurrounded. "With patience and caro they nurtured tho life of the infant, often amidst difficulties and subjected to severe criticism; but the steady growth, heaKhy condition and prosperity today testify to their efficient care and place upon us the greater privilege, as well as duty, of developing a more complete organism with which to carry forward to suc cess the work begun by them. The nalllatlon of many of our recent faults and shortcomings may be found in a constitu tion which wo have outgrown, and are yet vainly trying- to adjust ourselves to. Realizing this, it should safeguard our years worfc witn forebearance" our watchword and progress- our pole star. Under the provisions of our constitution, ana which must obtain for this year at least, .we have three separate, and. distinct objects; but there Is no provision which will -prevent tne financial Interest of our being sacrificed to the other If selfishness is allowed to predomi nate. This portion of our constitution is weak and must be revised to secure harmony ot action and Justice to all. But until such time as the club either decides upon our line ot work, or a satisfactory adjustment of the funds, by which each object secures Its pro portion for tho nrosecution ot Its particular work, courtesy, toleration and a spirit of fair ness, tempered with wise Judgment must char acterize the attitude of one department to the other If we would preserve our unity. Com parisons at any time- are odious, but they are particularly objectionable and offensive when used to advance the Interests of one of our de partments to the disadvantage of another. This Is harmful in its tendencies, blighting in its results and wholly unbusinesslike. Under our literary head may not Improperly come the consideration of our semimonthly programme. Mild dissatisfaction' has from time to time been expressed, and the year books of our neighbors displayed as evidence of our want of progression. This Is no new phase of club work. It comes periodically to embarrass tho calendar committee and annoy the officers of every club; but It should be remembered we cannot measure our achieve ments by the way other clubs look In print, and we could make no' graver mistake than to try to force ourselves into amold not our own. However, our programmes have lacked two essentials for the strength and successful growth of our club, viz., systematic work and the Individual development of our members. This has been largely due to our diversified tastes and interests, and not to our overworked calendar committees, who have displayed much wisdom In suiting our club work to conditions existing within ourselves, thereby developing along the lines of least resistance, rather than compelling a growth which might have ex hausted our vitality. Several times last year we discussed Infor mally the programme for this year, but left our calendar committee without definite in structlons, thereby virtually asking them to do for us what we were unable to do for our selvesprepare 24 programmes, each ono ot which must bo entirely satisfactory to every tingle- member. In response to an apparent desire for mora systematic work and more home talent, the committee decided to confine the topics this year to India, Japan and the Philippines, with the exception of a few days that have been arranged by special request; any they have given to our own members the privilege and task of making the subjects In terestlng and Instructive. India, the coming problem in the economy of nations; Japan, by clvlllzatlon and education, the most active factor of tho Orient, and the Philippines, under United States government, are subjects of spe cial Import to ua who dwell at their gateway and are worthy our most careful study and research. It only remains for our members who have been Invited to present the subjects to fulfill their part. Every member owes something to the club, and If she Is 'asked to take a place on the programme, it Is plainly her duty to do so. unless something more than, want of self- confidence Is her excuse. "She who does ner best, does well," and there Is no question of the ability of our -members to glvo U3 accept able entertainment. Experience has taught us that the professional Is not always highly sat Is factory, for while our intelligence may not have been positively Insulted, It has been severely auestloned at tihoes by some of the raid talent we have been compelled to lirten to. Hut the member cannot be excused who will allow her name to go on the programme and permits some trivial matter to Interfere with her keeping the engagement. This is un Just to the calendar commltteo and uncompll mentary to the one who Is asked to fill her place. Thero seems to bo no better way to encourage Intellectual activity than time ana conscientious study given by one club member for our own entertainment. But how best to advance our philanthropic activities bos been a stone ot stumbling and rock of offense since the beginning of our club work; and yet It Is the highest, the most God-given privilege of a club member, for Its benefits are twofold to lift another Is to raise ourselves. There Is no branch of our work that requires such nice discrimination or thoughtful attention lest wo create the very ills we attempt to correct. Impulsive and Indiscriminate giving is not philanthropy, and Is neither effective or satisfactory; but as one- third of our revenue constitutionally belongs to tho promotion of philanthropic work, we would recommend that we associate ourselves by membership with certain advanced phllan thronic associations, who need our financial assistance, and upon whose rolls we would do ourselves an honor to appear as a member. refer to such organizations as the Visiting Nurses, the Prisoners' Aid, and several others of like nature that are conducted Dy tne mosc advanced philanthropists of our city and state, But I also recommend that for each such membership taken a committee of one be ap pointed who will attend the regular meetings Of such association, and who may be authorized by the club to exercisesuch functions as are permitted individual members, receiving In structions and reporting to tne ciua as any other committee. In this way we will keep in touch with the work, more interest will be created In tho club for that kind of work and tho money thus Invested will bo accounted for satisfactorily to our members. What was meant by tho promotion of social activities in our constitution has never been very clear In the minds of any one. It was- certainly not to create society or enlarge our Individual social clrclo after the common ac ceDtatlon ot the term, but to our Interpreta tion It would mean the putting Into practice In our lntellecual and phllonhroplc work tha High Cla: AND OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians', prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture, many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long year3 of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore the;y are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. They know that in case's of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives- and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, bufy there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity arid principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do, 'not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Su'ph preparations sometimes have the name " Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or, fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co: printed on the front of the package, The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sill the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" qt "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the iront of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case, he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply he immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be Bold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Or. printed on the front of every? package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your, money, and iti future go to one ofhe better class of ?i i !ti ..11 . - i n. . i i r it.; tr u i i i ciruggisis who wiuseu you wnat you wieu ana me Desi oi uvury imiig.iii ma line at reasons, Die prices. Divine command, "In nil thlng3 use hospi tality." Tho hospitality that reaches out to the new member and makes her feel a part of us; the cordial greeting to tho old, without the form of an introduction; the kindness that will remember the sick or afflicted sister and not think her duty dono when she rises to a. formal vote of sympathy; the cultivation of a social spirit broad enough to lay aside the prejudices of caste, race or creed, knowing only that there aro "So many Gods, so many creeds, So many ways that wind and wind When all this poor world needs Is to love God and be kind." Our department work needs some radical changes and heroic treatment, but as this Is to receive attention later, we have but one recommendation to offer. It was a step backward when wo abolished our educational committee, and we ehould make haste to retrieve tho ground by estab lishing an educational deportment. Wo could conscientiously leave the larger school ques tions to our stato and city federations, but a mothers' class would be one of the most ef fective departments our club could form. As mothers wo might learn how to supply our teachers with better material to work upon. An eminent divine recently said: "If a child does not learn lessons of obedience, righteous ness and morality In tho first six years of Its life. It would require a miracle to have these traits developed In the next six. We are ex pecting tho schools to do the work of the home, and Mrs. Ormlstoa. Chant, on Woman's day at the New Tork Chautauqua this year sounded the noto of warning. From a for eigner's point ot view tho greatest menace to our free Institutions, eho said, was our present day American methods of training children. We might find a large field for this primary cducoalonal work among our club members. Our club, like tho tide of human life, has Its ebb and1 flow. Its times of restless energy and receding depression. The first condition needs no comment, for we are all willing In any endeavor to ride In on the crest of the wave of success; but It Is the strong character, the self-forgetful, the useful member who pa tiently waits while tho tide Is ebbing, believing It to be but gathering strength for future use fulness and It Is- the better member who Is large enough to rise abovo personality for the prosperity of the club. These are the only kind ot members our club needs, tho only kind we should seek to add or retain, and while It should be the duty of every member to enlarge our membership, we should also remember our strngth does not Ho in numbere. Ten righteous men could have caved a city, and the soma number of energetic women could do far more. There Is a little Sunday school song with this admonition at tha end of each verse: "Have courage, my boy, to say no." We feel 6ure it was written before the advent of tho modern club woman, or the small boy would not havo received the whole benefit. When a vote is called upon any question every mem ber present has a personal responsibility In deciding it. There is no moro reprehensible practice among club women than voting for a measure, or by her sllenco acquiescing, and when tho measure Is carried criticise the club and officers for allowing It to go through. Havo the courage to voto no If you are tho only one, and thereby register your protest, or forever hold your peace as to tho result. Any other course Is, to soy the least, unwomanly. To the best Interest of the club and members the officers today stand pledged, and they will bo derelict ln their duty Indeed if they are not wllllne to give ot their time and them selves to advance the club work, or lnhanco the pleasure or convenience of a member; but In return the officers will need and must havo your help and support. As In the days of old, when Aaron and Hur upheld the hands of Moses, so has It ever been In tho struggle of life. Tho efforts of those who have been chosen as leaders are of no avail unless they receive tho loyal support of those who put them there, and then and thero only aro tho battles won at the going down of the sun. BECAUSE HE WAS NERVOUS Tichenor Answered Question. Wrong;, and May Lose Ills Position. Because on . the same day that he took a civil service examination as policeman, ho hod to appear In- the Municipal Court; to answer a charge of assault and battery, C. H. Tlchenor grew nervous and excited and incorrectly answered two questions. These were sufficient to debar him from the successful list, so Tlchenor is very much worked up over his position. He has been temporarily appointed a member of the police force and is now on duty. Tin less ho Is allowed to take the examination again, he must leave the force when, hla temporary appointment has expired. Tlchenor finished tho examination in short order, and passed in his paper first of all, 40 minutes from the time he began. One of the questions ot which he failed to see the Import was: "Is it wrong for a police officer to accept money or gifts for services rendered while on duty?" Uche onr said "No,' which wasnt what the examiners meant at all. A similar ques tion was another stumbling block. As Tlchenor made a good record while on the force under a previous administration, and Is an experienced officer. It is probable that the Civil Service Commission will prepare another test for his benefit. SOLVE MARKET PROBLEM Italian Vegetable Men "Sow Sell to Commission Houses. The question of a market place for the Italian vegetable gardeners, which has been agitated for a number of years, ap pears to have settled Itself. Notwith standing the clamor for a market build ing, nono was erected, and now the gar deners do not want one. Some time ago they formed a union and after getting together and talking over matters, "they arranged a plan to do business In a dif ferent manner from before. Formerly the gardeners stood their wagons on Sec ond street In the vicinity of Salmon and Main and along Main and Salmon streets, and disposed of their wares early in the morning to peddlers, grocers and other dealers, but recently they have congro- 1 gated around the plaza blocks. Once they all came In with their wagons to tho mar ket place, but now all is changed. Every gardener has at least threo dif ferent wagons, and formerly they each sent In the three wagons to the stand, and sold their stuff as stated. Nono of the gardeners send more than one wagon to the market place, and some not any. They sell to wholesale dealers on Front street and to hotels and grocera at their doors. "Wagons also cover tho resident districts, and quite a number stop on tho East Side aiid sell out. Peddlers, who formerly purchased from the gardeners now havo to buy from wholesale commls sion houses. A number of peddlers go direct to the gardens and load, up with produce. While a number of gardeners with their wagons still assemble at tho plaza blocks, It Is stated that they will soon abandon this method of doing busi ness and are prepared to change any day.

It vras not straoge that Kss. NlrdHnger should have a miscarriage after suffering nfne yars with ovarian troubles. This weakness made her vcequai to the task of bringing a healthy child into the world. Bearing down pahs and ovarian diseases result from the fcflamiaatfcm and consequent weakening of the muscles and ligaments which, hold the female orgaos in place. They either fall of their own weight or some strain which would not be felt in health, causes tfee trouble. By regttfaticg menstruation, Wine of Cardui banishes inflammation from the entire female organism and the strength ened ligaments bring the organs back to their proper place. This is what Wine of Cardtri did for Mrs. Nkd&jger. She was restored to health acid strength and gives Wine of Cardui the credit of making her able to become a happy mother. These are many suffering women who thick that health can never be theks because they cannot secure &e services of a great speckhst. But we want to say right here that while Mrs. Nirdlinger lives in Philadelphia, a great medical center, she depended on Wine of Cardui for a cure and che was cured. Will you take it? All druggists sell $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui.
