" Cherry-Blossom."

It is a proveib of Cherry Blossom
Land that a healthy stomach is the
basis of all strength. Good nature is
also recoguize.il as of great importance.
The Jiipiuiese iw a people are remark
able for their health, endurance, pa
tience and skill.
The cherry tree ie the most highly
prized of all in Japan. If not only
gives forth a beautiful blossom but the
wild cherry tree furnishes a bark which
is most highly prized in medicine.
Wild Cherry
(IVmhks Virtjiniana).
The United
States Dib
pen sato ky,
which is nn
authority on medicines, says of the
properties of this Black Cherrybnrk :
Uniting with a tonic power the
property of calming irritation and
diminishing nervous excitability.
Adapted to the treatment of diseases
in which there is debility of the stom
ach or .of the system." Another au
thority, KlNO'8 AMERICAN DlBPENSA-
toky says, "it gives tone and strength
to ttie system, useful ill fever, cough,
and found excellent in consumption."
This ingredient is only one of several
verv important native, medicinal roots
in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. This is a remedy which lias en
joyed the public approval for nearly
forty yenrs, nothing new or untried
about it, bus cured thousands of people
of those chronic, weakening diseases
which are accompanied by a couch,
such as bronchitis and incipient con
sumption. More than that, by reason
f tho other ingredients, Bfoodroot,
Mandrake, Golden Seal, and Queen's
root, all of the medicinal virtues of
which are scientifically extracted and
combined in Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, remarkable cures of
dyspepsia and stomach disorders have
been accomplished.
Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce
discovered that chemically pure glyo
Brine of proper strength is a better
solvent and preservative of the active
medicinal principles residing in most of
our indigenous or native medicinal
plants thnn is alcohol. As its use is
entirely unobjectionable, while alcohol
is well known wlun UBcd even in
small portions, for a protracted period,
to do lasting injury to tbe human sys
tem, especially in the case of delicate
women and children, he decided to
use chemically pure glycerine instead
of the usually employed alcohol in
the preparation of his medicineH.
He found that the glycerine, besides
being entirely harmless, possesses in
trinsic medicinal properties of great
value. Iw nutritive properties, Dr.
Pierce believes, far surpass those of
cod liver oil, entitling it to favorable
consideration in all cases of incipient
consumption and other wasting diseases.
It is an invigorating, tonic alterative
and owes its virtues to Nature's vege
table garden. Dr. Pierce is only the
Nature's Garden.

Thomas Ageo was again on the stand
in the Booth-Singleton trial all this
morning. His memory wns so poor
that he frequently had to refer to the
dnfe of his marriage to recall dates
of certain transactions. On cross
examination by Malarkey, Agee testi
fied that when he nrranged to file on
a timber clnlm he had no intention of
defrauding the government.
Thursday's Testimony.
Portland Oregonlnn, July 24: For
three hours yesterday afternoon. 1.
Thomas Agee, government witness in
the Booth-Singleton case and co-con-splrator
with the defendants on trial,
was, cross-examined vigorously !iy
Dan J. Malarkey, of counsel for the
defense. In the main the witness ad
hered closely to the story he narrat
ed on direct examination, but admit
ted that he acted In good faith when
lie settled on unsurveyed land as a
homestead In eastern Douglas coun
ty and confidently believed he had
complied with land laws sufficient
ly to have earned the' homestead
The cross-examination of Agee will
lie resumed this morning and the
witness probably will he on the
stand the greater part of the day.
The uncertainty of Agee's testi
mony regarding dates on his direct
examination was surpassed by bis
positive stubbornness on cross-examination
by Mr. Malarkey. The wit
ness corroborated the material part.
of the testimony he had given for
the prosecution, hut when asked re
garding other facts and circum
stances, by which the defense will at
tempt to prove that the transfer of
the land was entirely legal, he dis
played an astonishing lack of mem
ory. Statement Made to Hums.
Counsel for defense oy persisteit
questioning learned from Agee that
he had been kept In the constant
company of Andy Ntchols. a govern
ment employe, ever since reaching
Portland. Agee. however, declined to
admit that Nichols was conducting
him around but Insisted that he wa
looking after Nichols. Mr. Malarkey
further got the witness to admit that
when he was a witness before the
grand .fury In 190", he made a sworn
statement before W. J. Burns, gov
rement "rrr avnte agent, who nd
tonid hi not to dlscue the run
;tltr-y lth anybody.
" Ae said he had been shown tt.
statement since coniing to Portland
as a witness in the case on trial In
order that hi memory mietif be re
freshed. He paid he had discussed
the case with Burns and Neuhnuser
In preference to Roland Aeee. S. I.
Thornton and Ed. Singleton, who
were his relatives. because he
thought the government official
were entitled to any Information he
could give them. He admitted that
he had refused to discuss tho case
with .Mr. .Malarkey although be hud
been told by District Attorney Mc
Cuurt that he could talk about the
case with anybody or could refuse to
discuss the subject.
Thought He Obeyed Law
Agee testitied 111 answer to ques
tions by .Mr. Malarkey that following
his first trip to the vicinity of "Cap's
lllihee," an Indian designation which
means "Home of the Boss." he was
desirous of locating on a claim and
securing possession of the same as a
stock ranch. He declared that in
tiling on the land he acted 'in good
faith and at all times believed that
ho was complying with all the re
quirements of the land laws, having
no Intention ever of derrnudlng the
government. llo nsserted that he
undertook to retain a claim to that
land and make the necessary im
provements until 1897, when, be
cause of the Intimidation of "Wild
Bill" Bradley, who hnd either stolen
or killed his stock, he decided not to
reside longer on the premises. Hut,
the witness said, he left his stock on
the dnnd. thinking that by so doing
ho did not surrender possession or
annul his rights to the homestead.
Continuing bis testimony for the
government at the morning session,
Agee testitied that all of the business
connected with the transfer of the
homestead for the lieu land selec
tion was transacted with James Hen
ry Booth, who prepared In advance
all of the necessary papers for
Agee's signature. Patent to the land
was received December 31, 1903, und
January 6, following, Agee transfer
red the property to the Booth-Kelly
Lumber Company. The deed was ad
mitted as evidence by Judge Wolver
ton. over the objection of the de
fense. .
Received His Full Price.
Agee testllled that the considera
tion named in the deed wns only $10,
and that he called the attention of
a notary public to the fact, explain
ing that the price agreed upon was
$300, whereupon he was advised
that the transfer or the land was not
closed until the deed hud been de
livered and he need not surrender
tho Instrument until he had received
his money.
Agee said he then went to' Fu
gue and called on it. A. Booth. In
forming him that he (Agee) was to
receive $:S00Niict rtir the land. Booth
referred Agee to his brother, .lames
Henry Booth, at Roseburg. continued
the witness, at the same time ex
plaining that Henry would make It
all right. Going to Roseburg. Agee
said he gave the deed to James Hen
ry Booth, and that an error discov
ered by R. A. Booth, could be cor
rected, lie called the next day and
received the balance due for the
land, $250 In gold, the advance pay
ment of $50 having been deducted.
Witness said he afterward visited
Eugene again and delivered the deed
to the property to 11. A. Booth.
The witness said he next saw U.
A. Booth In Portland in the spring ot
1905, when he had been subpoenaed
as a witness before the grand Jury.
.Meeting Booth In a restaurant, Agee
said he asked to ho advised how he
should testify regarding the first
payment of $50 on the land when he
should be questioned berore the
Kiand jury. Again Booth referred
the witness to his brother. James
Henry, who wns found at the Imper
ial Hotel, according to Agee and who
advised the witness to say nothing
aDout $;.0 transaction is he should
be questioned.

TAKES TWO STRAIGHT HEATS.
Oregon Frank Defeats King Kohr In
llntt-.MIIe Race.
In a running horse race, " mlln
and repeat, pulled off at the District
Fair grounds track, near this city,
thlB afternoon, Oregon Frank, own
ed by Bert flrown, of Oaklaud, won
In two straight heals over King
Kohr, owned by Atty. W. W. Card
well, of this city. Time: 1st heat,
50 2-fj seconds; second heat, 62 sec
onds. The judges were E. L. Par
rott, Dr. K. L. Miller and Dr. A. C.
Seely. About 250 people witnessed
the sport. Lady Beach, owned by S.
T. Smith, and Princess, owned by Dr.
J. R. Chapman, were also scheduled
lo enter the race, btit neither wsb put
on tho track. Lady Beach Is laid up
with u sprained knee and Princess
wns generally conceded to bo out
classed from the poor showing that
she made against Oregon Frank In a
race at the fnir grounds a week ago.
On each of these two horses, how
ever, a previous bet of $100 was for
feited. The same amount was post
ed on ench of tho other two horses,
making a total purse of $400. In
addition It Is estimated that not less
than $1,0,00 changed hands on the
result. Oregon Frank was ridden by
Mr. Brown's son, Herbert Brown. On
King Kohr'B back was Bobby Wilson,
the Marshfleld lad, who rode the
horse to victory against Lady Bench
at tho fair grounds last Friday.
1 Until arter the first heat, King
Kohr was a favorite In tho betting.
Many of those who backed Oregon
Frank at the start figured on him
winning tbe first heat over the 60
root distance limit, which woiild
have ended the race In his favor then
ind there, but few thought, however,
Mint he could show his heels to the
sorrel stallion In the second or a
third heat, with only 20-nilnuto In
termissions. ,
In the first heat the horses got a
beautiful start, with King Kohr at
the polo. When the first sixteenth
was reached, however, Oregon Frnnk
?alned the Inside track and gradually
.'urged nhoad. Rounding the turn
;nlo the home stretch, ho was fully
sixty feet to the good, but whon he
passed under the wire, King Kohr
hnd moved up to within 30 reet of
him.
Given Ihe pole In tho second heat,
Oregon Frnnk got a length advantage
n tho start, and kept King Kohr 60
feot behind until the last eighth was
reached when King Kohr began to
iain rapidly. His splendid effort
'it-ought forth cheers rrom the crowd,
but he lust the heat by a half a
length.
Oregon Frnnk, the winning horse,
's a grandson of Bill Nye, a well
'eniembered horse that raced, here
ibout 15 yenrs ago. His genealogy
runs back to Mandy Fortune, the
rnstest running horse on the Pacific
const 30 years ago.
Oregon Frank and King Kohr ore
matched again for n race at the fair
rounds, this tlmo Mr 6-8 of a mile.
The race is scheduled to Inke place
icxt Friday aflernoon. At that time
there will also bo n three-sixteenth
lash between Blue Diamond, owned
bylne Rose nnd a sorrel horse
owned by a California man nnmed
Wlnnliighnm, who Is training a
drlng of horses at the track.
