MONEY FOR PACIFIC LINE Amendment to Articles Filed In Wis consin Officials Preserve Usual Secrecy, but Purpose of Xew Stock Is Evident. CHICAGO. Dec 1. (Special.) The St. Paul Railway has provided funds for its extension to the Pacific Coast. At Madi son, Wis., the St Paul has filed amend ments to Its articles of incorporation' in creasing its capital stock J150.000.000 or from 107,S3S,300 to J257.S38,300. One-half of the new issue is specified as preferred stock, while the remainder is common. No statement as to the price asked for the stock, or intimation as to the pur pose of the railroad company in votins the Increase is given in the papers filed with the Secretary of State at Madison. Unofficially it was stated- that the money was to be used in "building extensions," "making improvements" and "buying such equipment and real estate as the officials deem advisable." Will Pay for Extension. This was taken to mean that the new Issue of stock is to be applied to the cost of constructing the extension from Glen ham, S. D., to Seattle. A. J. Earling, president of the railroad, is absent from the city and other officials deny any knowledge of the increase in the capital stock. At the annual meeting of the stockholders on September 19 last. 739,887 f the 1.078,383 shares of stock were voted In favor of increasing the capital to ' J25O.000.000, which, it was said, was to be expended on the extension of the pro posed line to the Pacific Coast. At this time the board of directors was author ized to place the stock on the market in uch amounts as was deemed advisable, and it is assumed the reported issue to day will be disposed of in that manner. .Maintain Same Old Secrecy. The same secrecy that has characterized every move in the projected extension of the system to .the Pacific Coast was maintained at the general offices of the railroad today. All officials who would be cupposed to have intimate knowledge of the proceedings refused to throw any light on the situation. It is said, how ever, in well-informed circles; that the Increase is to be used in the construc tion of the transcontinental line, which Is the direct outgrowth of a quarrel over the traflio in the Northwest between James J. Hill and the Standard Oil crowd that controls the destinies' of the St. Paul. ... , With the completion of its transcbntiT bental line, the St. Paul road willi.con trol 9000 miles of trackage and equipment, or the largest Individual system t (a the country. - :- ' .

It was announced at the Controller's office to day that ex-Mayor Seth Low had paid to the city J27.397.28 for taxes, which he had discovered that he should have paid In 1901, 1902 and 1903.

VIENNA, Dec. 1 The lower house of Parliament this evening passed the sec ond and third readings of the new uni versal' suffrage bill, which grants an equal franchise to every male Austrian over 24 years of age. who is able to read and write and has been a resident for at least a year in the place where an elec tion is held. Thl ends the fight for uni versal suffrage initiated a year ago by the Social Democrats. The Radical Germans made noisy pro tests at the bill, while the Socialists cheered loudly. The Liberals left the chamber before the division and there were no serious incidents. In future the lower house of Parlia ment will consist of 616 members, among whom there -will be 233" Germans. 107 Czeolis, $2 Poles, 33 Ruthenians, 24 Slavo nians, 13 Serbo-Croatians, 19 Italians and 6 Roumanians. Universal suffrage deprives the great landed proprietors and chambers of com merce of privileges. The chief difficulty to be overcome Wap how to distribute the mandates among the various Austrian nationalities and the key was found finally by mutual concessions between the Germans and Czechs in Bohemia. It has been arranged that Bohemia ehall elect 150 Deputies, of whom 55 shall be Ger mans. It is expected that universal suf frage will help to soften the national sen sibilities and gradually transform the na tional parties into economio divisions. The upper house Is not inclined to ac cept the bill, the peers demanding two votes for all married men over 35 years of age. Rejection of the bill by the upper house will mean a renewal of the bitter racial fight. Government circles," how ever, hope to overcome resistance to the measure there. - Court-Martlal for Tyrant Officer. PORTSMOUTH, England, Deo.

HOLIDAY 38th YEAR Corner Third and Washington Streets "GOVERNOR Uses Peruna For Colds and Excellent J j j CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON. Peruna is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific Letters of congratula tion and commendation, testifying to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh rem edy are pouring in from every state In the Union. Dr. Hartman Is receiving a multitude of such letters daily from all classes. The outdoor laborer, the Indoor ar tisan, the clerk, the editor, the states mar, and the preacher all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recogniz ing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the best safe guard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. Peruna not -only relieves catarrh, but prevents it. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and catarrh. A Letter 'Prom the Ex-Governor of Oregon. " The ex-Governor of Oregon is an ar dent admirer ot Peruna. He generally keeps it In the louse. A letter re ceived from him reads as follows STATE OF OREGON, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Dear Sirs I have bad occasion to use your Peruna medicine In my family for colds, and It proved to be an ex cellent remedy. I have not had - occa sion to e It for other ailments. Your very truly, W. M. LORD. Ask Your Druggist for Tree DESTROYS TRUST TOBACCO MOB OP MASKED MEN SETS EIRE TO KENTUCKY 6TEMMERIES. Gang or 300 Citizens Damages Prop . erty, Disarms Officers and Cap tures Police Station. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 1. A special from Princeton, Ky., says the tobacco stemmeries of John Steger and John G. Orr, the latter controlled by the Imperial Tobacco Company, of New York, were destroyed early today by a fire, kindled by a mob of masked men. The loss is es timated at J17O.O00. The mob, which num bered abont 300 men. entered Princeton between 1 and 2 o'clock, seized the Town Marshal and disarmed him. They then went to the factory and quickly applied the torch- The masked men stood on gtard, permitting nobody to come near until the buildings were completely en veloped in flames and help was useless. A squad of the mob took charge of the telephone office, and no word of the af fair was permitted to go out. When the mob saw that the fire wa beyond control they left the town, going In the direction of Hopkinsville, discharging revolvers and rifles as they departed. When the fire department arrived. It could do nothing more than prevent the fire from destroy ing buildings in the vicinity. The Steger stemmery was located on the south side of town, on the Illinois Central Railroad, and the Orr building in the northern part of the town. The Steger factory is controlled by the American Snuff Company, and Mr. Steger is the Princeton agent for that concern. Mr. Orr is the representative of the Im perial Company. There was about 150,000 pounds of tobacco in each warehouse, and all of it was burned. The mob. In addition to disarming the night policeman, took charge of the police station and the water works. Even had the fire company responded they would have been unable to obtain a supply of water. The work of the mob is believed to be only a furtherance of the agitation by the tobacco-raisers against the Tobac co Trust. The organization of farmers is known as the Dark Tobacco-Growers' Pro tective Association, but it is not known that any member of that organization was in last night's mob. May Order Out Troops. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec 1. Mott GIFTS !M Q 1906 Consult Qui- Optician OREGON in His Family Finds It An Remedy. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Peruna for other ailments. The reason for this is most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Peruna promptly to relieve colds, he protects his fam ily againsj other ailments. This is what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe runa in the house. Catarrh for Ten Years. Mr. Charles 8. Mahy, 12 Water St., Ossining, N. Y., writes: "I had catarrh for ten years and tried a great many kinds of medicines which cost mo a lot of money, but did me no good. Instead of getting better, I seemed to get worse. My eyes were bloodshot, my nose smelled so bad that I was ashamed to go In com pany. I was night guard at the prison, and I would get so dizzy that I would have to catch hold of something to keep from falling. "I read about Peruna and thought I would give it a trial. I used about ten bottles, and am cured of catarrh, and the dizzy feeling has left me." Feels Better and Weighs More. Mr. Arthur H. Matthews, 442 Le Monte street, Roxborougb, Philadel phia, Pa., writes: "I can testify to the good which Peruna has done for .me. I feel in many ways younger than I did 25 years ago. While I am not now taking it regularly (as I do not think I need it), I keep it in the house and shall con tinue to do so and take it when I need it. Since I have taken your remedy I have gained 20 pounds in weight." Fernna Almanac for 1907. Ayres, State. Fire Marshal, left for Princeton today to. investigate the in cendiarism of the" two tobacco fac tories. He has the power of a grand jury to summon witnesses and require them to testify under oath. It is not improbable - that Governor Beckham will be asked to call out the militia to protect property In those dis tricts, in view of the past outrages. C. F. Snyder, secretary of the State Board of Fire Underwriters, says the insurance companies will not be re sponsible for the loss of the plants un der the clause exempting them In cases of riot and invasion. The protective association was formed throughout the dark tobacco district and severest measures were taken against growers who refused to Join it. Marauders visited their farms at night and cut down their tobacco plants with hoes, set fire to their barns and committed other depredations. The ill feeling began about six years ago, when the Italian Government sent agents into the dark tobacco field. These agents paid such high prices for the tobacco that other agents were driven out of the field. CHEER PATT1 HALF AN HOUR Diva Gives One of Her Famous Fare well Concerts in London. LONDON, Dec. 1.

EILERS CUT THE PRICE OF PIANOS REDUCTIONS WILL PREVAIL, BUT. A FEW DAYS LONGER, FOR SALE MUST END WHEN NEW SALESROOMS ARB COMPLETED FACTORY COST ON EVERY PI ANO IN STOCK. Radical Measures Adopted in Order to Keep Constantly Arriving New Stock Moving Hundreds of Buyers Have Already Taken Advantage of the Unusual Inducements Chicker ings, Webers, Kimballs, and Many Other Equally Fine Makes Included. Saving of $100, $150, Yes, Even $200, on Some of the Fine Instru ments Now Possible Comes at a Time Most Favorable for Christmas Purchasers-Sensational Selling Will Be Done in the Next Few Days. New Quarters Now in Hands of Plasterers, Painters and Decorators, and Will Soon Be Finished. A glance at the new quarters of Eilers Piano House, at Park and Washington streets, as one passes the large new plate windows, shows that the work of remod eling is being accomplished with the greatest haste. A lew days ago the car penters had full sway, but these have practically completed their most import ant work and have given way to the plas terers, electricians, painters and decora tors. A better idea is now gained of the ex tensivenes and completeness of the Im provements, as the work progresses. The elevatorshaft has reached a point In its construction where some conception is had of the size of the fine elevator which is to be installed, which will take the patrons of the store to the commodious second floor. This car will be as large us an ordinary room, of the latest ami safest type, and up to the minute with every improvement in that line. On all three floors basement, first and second the mechanics are now fast brlnp ing order out of the chaos, and it will not be long before the firm will at last have its new quarters ready lor entire occu pancy, after months and months of delay and setbacks. But the sale of pianos at factory cost will be continued only while this chaotio condition exists. There is not yet enough available space to house the new Instru ments arriving almost every day in car load lots from Eastern makers. Theso new pianos were contracted for months ago, and there was. of course, nothing else to do but accept them and dispose of them to the best possible advantage. But one object has been aimed at in this sale, and that is to keep the pianos mov ing. Realizing that piano buyers would not visit a store in such condition as has prevailed for the past couple of weeks in particular without unusual Inducements, and appreciating that the arriving piano! from the East are accumulating in large numbers, it was decided to cut out all profits and sell at absolute cost until present adverse conditions were over come. Such bargains as are offered now come but very few times in a lifetime. Now and then, here and there, pianos of some what uncertain reputation are sold at apparently ridiculous prices, but it is not often that one can visit the leading piano house of the citv and choose from an en tire stock, selecting either down-town or at the wholesale warehouse, any one of a number of standard makes, and buy the instrument at just what It cost at the factory, plus the bare addition of freight, and. further than that, buy it on prac tically anv terms they wish to make. Eilers Piano House during this emer gency sale will grant almost anything in the shape of terms a few dollars down and a few dollars a month as low as to or $6 on some instruments, and as low as $10, Ui or $1B on some of the high-grade, most desirable lines, and when It is re membered that these terms prevail on prices which represent absolute factory cost, it can readily be seen that the op portunity is a most extraordinary one. Hundreds of pianos have been sold dur ing the past week many of them fur Christmas presents many to those who had not thought of purchasing for a year or more, but who could not resist the temptation to take advantage of these most remarkable Inducements. And It in safe to predict that the next few days will witness even more sensational sell ing, for those who have already bought are telling their friends. But this is ex actly what Eilers Piano House desires, for there is not room to house another Instrument as the situation stands, and the constantly arriving shipments must be taken care of as they come along. So every prospective piano buyer should make It a point to drop In and see what a favorable chance this really Is to secure a fine piano for little money. But do not delay. The sale will end the very day that the improvements are completed, and that dav Is fast drawlner near. So, by all means be prompt. 353 Washington street, corner of Park, is the new number of the comln-r Bletrer, Better and Busier Eilers Piano House. healer of Sea Breeze, Fla., which has been pending in the United States courts for six years, was ended today.
