COLIMBIXE LOADS SUPPLIES Lighthouse Tender's White Coat Gives Way to Black Paint. The lighthouse tender Columbine. Cap tain Richardson, took on part o her cargo of supplies for the light . stations of this district at the Couch-street dock yesterday, and to the crowd of spectators assembled on the Burnside bridge watch ing the trim little craft load, she did not seem to meet with the approving glances hitherto bestowod upon her. Until re cently the vessel Jias always worn a dress of pure white paint, which was kept spotless, as are all Government vessels. At present the Columbine la of a dull black color and fulls to present her usual handsome appearance. The change in color Is due to a .recent order issued by the chief of the lighthouse service, who visited the Pacilic Coast a few months ago, and all the -wessels in that service have discarded the attractive snowy coat and now bear a funereal appearance. The most striking thing about the Columbine yesterday was the contrast she presented while; moored adongside of the Associated Oil Company's tug Nav igator, Captain C.

IS 25 PER CENT OF TOTAL Officials of German-American Bank Report Steady Reduction of De funct Institution's Indebted- .. ness Under the Agreement. About one-fourth of the J2.000.0O) due the creditors of the Oregon rust & Sav ings Bank already has been wiped out by the German-American Bank, which took over the assets of the defunct in stitution and agTeed to meet its liabili ties. This is considered a remarkably grood showing, considering the fact that the bank, under the merger, has been open only a month and was allowed two years by the court in which to meet the claims against the old bank. With about $500000 in indebtedness already wiped out by means of establishing offsets and by turning certificates of deposit in the old bank in forstock in the new German-American Bank, the decreasingof the Bank's lia bilities is steadily progressing through the delivery of bonds to depositors in the de funct Oregon Trust who subscribed for bonds to the amounts of their deposits. Bond deliveries are made dally between the hours of 10 A. M. and 12 noon. Trus tee certificates have been issued and are delivered to those who signed for broken denominations of bonds. Those who take the original denominations of the secur ities are given the original bonds, al though many prefer the trustee certifi cates, as in that case the bank retains tiie bonds and the owner does not stand to lose the securities through accident or Are., Bonds signed for by creditors of the bank, the bulk of which are securities f. the Home Telephone companies of Tacoma, Omaha and Portland, total about $725,000. The bank officials are de voting much of their time to expediting this bond delivery and the bulk of the se curities, or the certificates, will be in the hands of the subscribers within a short time. Meanwhile depositors in uie 'wCL tkiotiiu tion having claims of not more than $oG are being paid off rapidly and soon the bank will commence paying claims not exceeding $100. Larger claims will be paid still later. , "From the progress we have made, it 'appears likely that ail liabilities of the old Oregon Trust & Savings Bank will have been wiped out long before the time limit expires," said t Receiver Dev lin, of the defunct bank, who is also cashier of the new institution. ' 4Our de posits are constantly increasing, many new accounts are being opened, and we feel greatly encouraged. The new bank is doing a splendid business and every thing looks bright. The best of feeling! prevails and there appears to be general con tide nee in the new institution. At the Theaters What the Press Asents Say. "The Virginian" Tonight.

BIES IN THE CITY JAIL DRCSKES PRISONER FAXLiS VICTIM OF PXEUMOXIA. JLi. Hall, Said to Be, From Astoria, Found Dead After Eighteen Hours' Imprisonment. A man who gave the name of L. Hall and who was arrested by Policeman Ab bott, of the second night relief, at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning in the bt. Charles Hotel on , the complaint of the bote, proprietors for being drunk and disorderly, died yesterday afternoon at about 3:30 o'clock in the City Jail, unat tended by a physician. Little could be learned about the man save tfrat he is said to live in Astoria and to be con nected in some way with the Hall Flexi ble Car Axle Company. His address in this city or how long he had been here is unknown. Hall's death was the result of a cold which developed into pneumonia., con tracted while on a protracted spree. A post-mortem under the direction of Cor oner Finley revealed the fact that the man's life could not have been saved. As far as is known. Hall, although not a guest there, staggered into the St. Charles and was so rough in his . talk and actions that the police were ap pealed to. He was placed in the drunk cell. An hour later, when Captain Moore went into the prison to turn out the "simple drunks," as is the usual cus tom at this hour ' in the morning. Hall was sitting up in his cell. He asked Captain Moore for a drink of water, and on being questioned replied that he was all right except for the effects of his drunk. There was nothing in his appearance or actions to indicate that he was other than merely drunk. His name was placed on the transcript to go before the court, but at 9 o'clock when Jailer Branch went to escort him before Judge Cameron, he was found unable to go. Shortly after this the man lay down and apparently fell asleep. According to the usual routine, the man would have been held over until the following morning to appear be fore the court, and Jailer Branch thought the man was in a drunken eleep and reported the prison all O. K. at 3 o'clock, when he went off duty. At 3:30 o'clock. Captain Moore went into the jail to take a look at all hands before formally turning over his com mand to Captain Siover, of the first night relief, and noticing that the man was still apparently asleep, opened the cell door and tried to arouse him, and then found that he was dead. The City Physician was called, and the body was removed to the Coroner's office. The inquiry of the Coroner into the case failed to attach any blame to anyone in connection with the man's death. It was plainly evident, the phy sician said, that the man had been on a protracted spree, had caught cold while in this condition, and developed a rapid congestion of the lungs. Hall had little or nothing on his per son to tell of his identity. Besides' a notebook with a few memoranda, a dia mond ring and a pocketbook contain ing a few dollars, there was nothing found on him. He was about 54 years of age, 5 feet 10 Inches in height, weighed about 165 pounds, wore & mus tache, and his hair And mustache were of dark brown sprinkled with gray. Nothing Is known of his family or -con-nections. i ALLOW NO COMPETITION Kuef's Conditions Prevented Engi neer's Report on Waterworks. SAX FRANCISCO, March 5.

Mr. George M. Glading, a contrao. tor, of 16 Dnmontier street, Detroit, Mich., and a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, Camp 967, of Ouster, is .certain that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved his life, lie says: "In my younger days I was In charge of men getting ont timber in northern Michigan and was exposed to all kinds of weather and for years had, never spared myself from work or exposure. As a result of this and stomach trouble, I was completely run down during the spring of 1908 and fell an easy victim to an attack of rheumatism. I had the ser vices of two doctors in Detroit, who, after attending me for several months, said I could never get welL By this time I was helpless, my entire body seemed to be paralysed and I couldn't move my arms or legs. ".The doctors advised me to goomy old home in Cnster, where I could be cared for during the remaining few days or weeks I had to live. My lodge met me and I went home, where I had a nurse and employed our family physician to give me what aid he could, although he agreed with the doctors of Detroit, that I could not live. "As I lay in bed I thought there must be something radically wrong in the treatment I was getting. I had no desire to quit life at mv age and decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which I had heard some relatives say they had used. I bought one dosen boxes and commenced to take them at once, follow ing the directions in every particular. For two weeks it was a life and death struggle, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills finally won, for I began to have some feeling in my feet. After using the pills steadily for six weeks I could walk across the room and six weeks later was doing light work. My friends and doc tors were dumbfounded at my recovery. That was nearly four years ago and to day I am employing more men than I used to and am working longer and harder than any of them."

TBI'S SPEED TDD GREAT OXIiY CAUSE ATTRIBUTED TO PEXDLETOX WRECK. Wheels of Engine Leave Rail on Ten Per Cent Curve While Making . Up Lost Time. PENDLETON, Or., March 5. (Special.) That the wreck of the O. R. & N. pas senger train near this city Wednesday morning was due to the high rate of speed at which the train was traveling is the opinion of officials of the road and a committee of citizens, as expressed to day after a searching investigation had been made of the -tracks, rails and en gine. The investigating party consisted of Division Superintendent D. W. Camp bell, Division Engineer William Bollona, General Master Mechanic Jurgens and a local committee, consisting of Robert Forster, W. L. Thompson and Bert Huff man. It was found that the track was in ex cellent condition and the engine showed no sign of having a defect in the wheels or otherwise before the wreck occurred. The engine truck wheels left the rail on a 10-degree curve and 19 feet west of where the engine was finally wrecked', and at the point where the truck wheels left the rail there was absolutely nothing to cause a wreck, the ties, rails, bolts and spikes being in normal condition, and the gauges and levels used on the track showed that the gauge was proper, the elevation of the track correct and the rails in excellent condition. While the cause of the wreck is a mys tery, the consensus of opinion is that the speed was perhaps greater at that point than the employes realized, and that the lurch of the engine in rounding the curve caused the wheels of the truck to leave the rails. Had the derailed wheels not have struck the switch at the Pilot Rock junction, it is possible that the train would have run Into Pendleton with the one pair of wheels.

The muscular coating of the veins is deprived of nervous control and becomes inactive, weakens and re laxes. The blood vessels expand from the pressure within. The circu lation becomes sluggish and clots form in little nooks and pockets that constantly enlarge as the relaxation continues. These clots may pass into general circulation, and should one find lodgment in the valves of th ; heart, the result might be instant death. Should a clot lodge in the minute capillaries of the brain, apoplexy or general par alysis might follow. I CURE VARICOCELE Don't allow yourself to be butchered and tinkered with.
