corresponding change of sentiment,
but anti-commission Senators flocked
to the commission ranks and passed the
bill in order to get it out of the way,
get the fight over, and allow the legis
lators' who have been tied up pending
its settlement get down to solid busi
ness during the few remaining days of
the session. 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.

with Frank E. Kincart, induced more
than TOO men, so It Is alleged In the in

A Chicago Alderman Owes Hit Election to
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
"I can heartily and conscientiously
recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy for affections of the throat and
lungs," says Hon. John Shenlck, 220
So. Peoria St., Chicago. "Two years
ago during a political campaign, I
caught cold after being overheated,
which Irritated my throat and I was
finally compelled to stop, as I could not
speak aloud. In my extremity a friend
advised me to use Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. I took two doses that after
noon and could not believe my senses
when I found the next morning the In
flammation bad largely subjided. I
took several doses that day, kept right
on taking through tbe campaign, and
1 thank this medicine that I won my
seat in the Council." This remedy Is

Frater Pleads Not Guilty.
Portland, March 2. William A.
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.

WHAT THIS MAN SAYS
Only Re-echoes the Sentiments of Thousands
in Our Republic.
Tbe Roseburg ruader la aBked to
thoroughly investigate the following.
This can readily be done, asthegentlo
man whose statement Is published be
low will only be too pleaded to answer
any communication mailed to him f
the writer really suffers from the an
noying consequence which always at
tend inactive or weakened kidneys.
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.
A short time after I read an adver
tisement about Doan's Kidney Pills and
deciding to try them I procured a box.
I commenced taking them and they af
fected me a permanent cure. I have
had no return of the trouble since."

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. Tbey do not want to
be the subjects of experiment, but wants,
medicine that has bad the test of years
behind It. 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. All this
can be said about Dr. Gunn's Improved
Liver Pills as a remedy for Blck-head-ache,
dyspepsia and indigestion, it be
gins right at the source of the trouble
and removes the cause. Sold by all
druggists for 25c per box. One pill for
a dose. For sale by A. C. Marsters &
Co.
The National Debt.
Wasiiinoton, March 2. The mon
thly statement of the publto debt showa
that at tbe close of business February
28, 1005, the debt, less cash In tbe
treasury, amounted to 8089,574,153,
which is a decrease for the month of
$3,005,401.
Startling Mortality
Statistics show startling mortality,
from appendicitis and peritonitis. To
prevent and cure these awful diseases,
there is just one reliable remedy, Dr.
King's New Life Pills. M. Flannery,
of 14 Custom House Place, Chicago,
says: "They havo no equal for Con
stipation and Biliousness." 26o at A.

Conductor Sam Veatch Hurt.
Portland, Or., Maroh 2. Three

WHO OAHNOT OE CURED.
So uniformly successful has Dr. Pierce'
