In their hearts most of these men either expect the railroads to dolge the Issue, or to see them so punish the people that a repeal will be sought at the next Legislature. The bill as passed Is a severe one. The commission bill, for which East ern Washington has fought so long, provides for an annual salary of $4000 for the commissioners, eliminates the provision restricting Injured individuals to $500 recoverable damages, and makes other amendments.

He will be placed under $3000 bonds to insure his appearance at the next term of court. (Miller was one of the men Indicted by the Oregon grand jury for extensive timberland frauds perpetrated in the vicinity of Medford. He, in company with Frank E. Kincart, induced more than TOO men, so It Is alleged In the in dictment, to file on land in the vicinity of Medford, under promise that tbe claims would be taken up by a fabled company as soon as patents were issued.

Frater, arrested last October for the embezzlement of United States Postal funds while postmaster nt Roseburg, was arraigned before Judge Bellinger yesterday and entered a plea of not guilty. Frater, who is an aged G. A. K. vet eran, was indicted by tb": Federal grand jury under two counts, the embezzle ment of M32.5S nd ti"8.44. It is the impression that while having been found short in his cash to the extent of these two amounts, there was no crimi nal intent, but rather a failure to ob-1 serve postal regulations and an ant of 1 strict business experience. Frater was put under $1000 boods, but allowed to go on bis own recognizance. For An Impaired Appetite. Loss of appetite always results from faulty digestion.

W. W. Gossett, veteran of tbe civil war, residing at 558 Madison street, Eugene, Or., says: "I served during the war in the "7th Ohio regiment un der General Grunt and was In the bat tle of Shlloh. For about four months last year I had a most persistent dull steady aching across my loins and kid neys. It hurt me when I stooped or made any sudden movement. About a year ago sharp twinges of pain caught me In my back and I could not move from the position I was in to save me.

THE END NOT YET Greatest Battle of War Raging Below Mukden, THE LOSSES ARE ENORMOUS Finger of Victory Points to Japanese Desperate Struggle at Lone Tree Hill. Special to Evening Review. TOKIO, March 3. General Kurokl, commanding tbe right wing of the Japanese army, reports that he has driven the Russians out of three po sitions and Is now bombardinga fourth, where he is opposed by a battery of 60 guns. General Oku, commanding tbe'jleft wing, reports under yesterday's date that he oponed a terrific bombardmont along the entire line. His 'guns, a hundred all told, include the largost ever used in a Held action. So great was the damage Inllicted on tho Russian positions at last accounts that the enemy's guns were unable to reply. A third report from tbe front soys Oyama has completely blockod Kufo patkln's attempt to execute a turning movement to offset the turning of his left wing by General Kurokl. The report adds that the Japanese are now only a few miles from Mukden and that the battle haB reached Its fiercest stage. ' STItUOOLE AT PUTILOFF HILD. oak HU Tun, Manchuria, Marob 3.-- Following the frightful bombardment at Putlloff (Lone Tree) Hill yostorday, the Japanese made a determined effort to take the eminence at the point of the bayonet. They made two desperate assaults, but wore repulsed both; times by a torrent of sharpnel and rlllo lira. The bombardment of tho hill has been resumed. The Japanese advance on the loft bank of the Hun river was met with stubborn resistance. Four Japauese divisions advanced to witbin eleven miles of Mukden, where they were checked by Russian reinforcements. General Kogl's Port Arthur veterans are participating in today's battle. The losses on both sides arc enormous. SITUATION TO DATE. ST. Petkhsiiukq, March 2. The position of General Kuropatkln's army is regarded as being more or less critical. The real turning movement which General Kurokl is operating in the mountains 40 miles eastward of Mukden seems to be making progress, and at the same time Field Marshul Oyama is also rolling back the Russian loft, while pounding away at tho Rus sian center with heavy high-power guns. Poutiloff and Novgorod Hills have been subjected to a continuous three-day bombardment, followed by an Infantry attack, the main Russian lines being forced to retire two miles to their sheltered trenches. Some of the Russians newspaper correspond ents anticipate an attempt to take the bills by storm. General Kuropatkln Is making des perate efforts to chock Kurokl, ono of whoso columns has succeeded In work ing around the extreme Russian left, and reinforcements have been dis patched in a northeasterly direction. General Rennenkampf Is slowly re tiring, fighting, taking advantage of the broken, hilly country and contest ing every Inch of ground. While the Japanese are evidently making progress, there is nothing yot to indicate that Field Marshal Oyama will succeed Jn Inflating a decisive blow even if he foi'ces Kuropalkin to aban don Mukden. M. F. Callaham was In town from Wardton today. Whit Time Proves. This thing of being sick and looking for a cure Is a mighty sorlous business. People are not given to joking oven at the first symptom of the approach of the Grim Destroyer.

A medicine that has been made and used for 20 years gives assur ance of its worth, and can be taken with a faith that they have the very best cure the world affords.
