Bad Attack of Diarrhoea, Cured by Chamber lain's Collo, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I was attacked with diarrhoea about July 15, 1905. and used the doctor's medi cine and other remedies with no relief, only getting worse all the time., I was unable to do anything, and my weight dropped from 146 pounds to 12o pounds. I suffered for about two months, when I was advised to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, of which I used two bottles. That seems to have permanently cured me. I now feel like a new man. I would advise all who suffer with bowel disorders to use this remedy. B. W. Hill. Snow Hill, N. C. For sale by all druggists. SENSATIONALLY LOW PRICES BUT DEPENDABLE VALUES Such unusual bargains as we tell of below might excite doubt in the mind of a stranger to this store, but Portland folk know they may be guided by what we say in this printed news of the busy doings of Portland's Greatest Store. We write with care. In some minds there is an intuitive distrust of advertisements. Some stores seem to foster such distrust by reckless statements both oral and printed, that are associated with "pipe dreams" and rainbows; and no doubt there is ample justification in the minds of shoppers for such skepticism as some 6how. But, because SOME ads are not truthful why condemn ALLT The fact is, no merchant who hopes to keep in the game DARE risk falsehoods in his announcements, be his real princi ples what they may. Self-interest forbids it. We trust we are not flattering ourselves in believ ing that OUR ADS inspire confidence. In any event, we know they deserve to.

Thief Is Stopped by Rob son's Look Boy Drops Stolen Bicycle and Runs When Bis Eyes Meet' Those of Honest Station Officer. WHO ever heard of a face stopping a criminal? Faces have been said to stop clocks, break cameras and mirrors but never before to stop crim inals. William Robson, station officer on the first night relief, is not so homely as to attract attention. In fact he says his wife maintains be is good look ing. Be that as it may, one glance from Robson's sleuthlike eyes convinced a young bicycle thief that It was better traveling along the straight and nar row path. Robson was sitting on the veranda above the sidewalk at the sta tion Sunday night. Presently there came along a boy leading a bicycle. Robson looked casually down, the boy looked guiltily up. Four eyes met, the boy dropped his wheel and made off on the run. Robson came down and took the wheel inside the station. Acting Detective Smith Just then entered and at first glance identified the wheel as one which had been stolen the night before from Mitchell Allen, a colored newsboy. Robson is now picked by his fellow officers as Captain Bruin's most dan gerous competitor at the next civil service examination. Aberdeen's Son Weds Rich Widow. LONDON, Aug. 6.
