Startling But True.
People the world over were horrified
on learning of the burning of a Chicago
theatre in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number or over 3,000
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice.. Every one of these
cases of pneumonia resulted from a
cold and could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. A great many- who had every
reason' to fear pneumonia have warded
It off by the prompt use of this remedy.
The following Is an instance of this sort:
"Too much cannot be said In favor of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and es
pecially for colds and influenza. I
know that it cured my daughter, Laura,
of a severe. cold, and. I.. believed saved
her life wheu she was threatened with
pneumonia." W. D. Wilcox, Logan,

"Nettie the News Girl."
The above melodrama will be seen' at
the Koseburg theatre Friday, Feb. 17.
The story of the play is said to be
decidedly away from the conventional,
and one that will please all classes.
There is a vein of comedy running
through the pieco that is refreshing.
The play Is such that It gives ample
opportunity for a display of stagea craft
and the result is some of the most novel
effects. The scene on the East river,
almost under the Brooklyn bridge, and
practical working of the boats are
particularly effctive.

Mayor Defies Ring.
Philadelphia, Feb. 11.-.A fight to
the death has been declared between
the republican rlug ruling Phila
delphia and Mayor John Weaver.
Yesterday the mayor began at the in
stigation of the clergy a. fight against
the grafting tactics of the police. He
sent out an order transferring every
police officer in the tenderloin districts
and dismissing every bluecoat Inter
ested in giving shelter to vied. The
shakeupof the police is the preliminary
to a general investigation of that de
partment. More than 800 policemen were af
fected by last night's order.

LEGISLATURE PERPLEXED
Sew Batch of Indictments Involve Con
gressman Williamson and
E. D. Stratford.
Washington; Feb. 12. In spite of
Judge Tanner's confession and Corrob
orative testimony by other important
witnesses, Senator Mitchell persists In
his profession of Innocence .of any
wrongdoing in connection with the
Oregon land frauds.
While still showing the terrible
strain under which he has labored for
the past six weeks, the Senator is not
depressed by the sensational news from
Portland tonight. On the contrary, be
appears in hotter spirits than usual.
When shown a press dispatch telling of
Judge Tanner's confession he seemed
rather amused than worried Ho ap
pears to regard today's developments
as merely a new ohapter in what ho
designates a "conspiracy to defame
him."
' Senator Mitchell has no Intention
whatever of resigning his seat in the
Senate. He will make no change in his
original plans, but will remain in
Washington until March, probably un
til alter the Inauguration. He will
then go home and prepare to face the
jury and the charges which have buon
brought against him. This he intended
to do regardless of Tanner's confession.
WHAT WILL LEQISLATUIIE DO?
Poiitlano, Feb. 12. In view of the
growing evidence against Senator
Mitchell, the Oregon, Legislature may
not adjourn sine die next Friday, and
Republicans oi the two houses will
probably caucus at Salem this week to
decide what to do. Such a conference
is suggested by Speaker Mills, who re
gards Judge Tannor's testimony as hav
ing put a new aspect on the case and
who leans to the belief that the Legis
lature may be constrained to set a date
for an adjourned session. .
Following so olosely the resolution of
confidence which the Oregon Legisla
ture adopted, agalnstscarcely a negative
voice, the oonfesslon of Judge Tanner
amazes the members of that body.
Several influential Legislators, who
advocated adoption of the resolution,
said yesterday they would not have
done so had they been aware of what
was impending. A soro perplexity now
confronts them, and though it seemed
bad enough before the resolution was
adopted, now it is worse, because re
consideration of rescindment would
amount virtually to a declaration that
tha Legislature believed In Senator
Mitchell's guilt and wished him to re
sign, so .that a Uopubllcan might be
chosen by the Legislature for the un
expired term, and not a Democrat ap
pointed by Governor Chamberlain.
