It takes lots of nerve to rush, un
armed, toward a man who is firing at
you with a revolver, but Mark Alex
ander, the dapper young secretary of
the Umpqua Land & Water Comjany,
did that very thing on the Alexander
bridge, In the southern part of the
city, this morning, when Carl Luh
man, a painter, emptied four shells
from a 38-calibre Colt's six-shooter
at him. Though the shooting was
done at a distance of less than 13
feet, none of the bullets reached
their "Mark."
As the result of some trouble be
tween Mark's father, J. C. Alexander,
and Luhman, Uie latter had been or
dered by the elder Alexander to keep
oft of the bridge, which is private
property. While Luhman, revolver in
hand, in defiance to this order, was
crossing the bridge this morning,
Mark was informed of the J-xct by
an observing worklngman and, leap
ing on his bicycle, wheeled toward
Luhman to Intercept him. Luhman
shouted to Mark to keep back, but
Mark paid no attention to the order.
Luhman then began shooting at Murk
with the revolver, and after filing
four times turned about and ran.
The bullets whistled uncomfortably
close to Mark, but he kept right on
going. Overtaking Luhman, he
grappled with him and, after a short
struggle, wrested the weapon away
from him.
Going immediately to Justice
Long's office, Mark swjro to A com
plaint charging Luhman with assault
with a dangerous weapon, turning
over the captured revolver for evi
dence. Arraigned this afternoon,
Luhman plead not guilty and fur
nished a bond of $500 to appear for
examination before Justice Long
somo time tomorrow.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16. President
Taft is not thinking of the 1812 cam
paign and he probably doesn't desire
second nomination, according to
the New York Times today. The
Times prints a special dispatch In
which Taft Is quoted as having said
to a friend recently: "1 am not think
ing of 1912. In fact, I don't know
that I desire re-nomiuution. From
the way things are drifting it may
be that no Republican can be elected.

The Times says the President has
repeated his statement until his at
titude, is now common property. It
is no secret that Taft is much dis
couraged. Roosevelt's course has
undoubtedly annoyed him. as has the
triumph of the insurgents and the
refusal of some Republican conven
tions to endorse his administration.

Why Bhould any sensible person
continue to suffer day after day with
terrible Btomach ailments when the
Red Cross Pharmacy guarantees MI-O-NA
stomach tablets to euro even
the worst case of Indigestion, or
money back.
. If your stomach rebells after eat
ing and food sours or ferments in
the stomach, causing gas, pain,
heartburn, and heaviness, two MI-O-NA
tablets will drive away the mis
ery In five minutes and leave the
stomach feeling splendid.
A large box of Ml-O-NA stomach
tablets costs 60 cents at the Red
Cross Pharmacy and leading drug
elsts everywhere.
If you have stomach trouble of
any kind, start to use MI-O-NA atom
ach tablets today. They not only
build up the stomach but they act
as a tonic to the entire body. They
are makers of rich red blood and
nerves that never flinch; they In
crease 'Vitality and make the weak
more vigorous.
Reform Fails In Illinois.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16. Twenty-one
of thirty-one Democrats who voted
for Wm. Lorlmer. Republican, for
United States Senator, have been
nominated for 'seats in the Illinois
legislature, according to the latest
reports today from the prlmnties.
Among them are Lee O'Neill Browne,
recently acquitted of the charge of
legislative bribery, nnd Senator John
Broderlck, Robert Wilson, and Repre
sentative Shepnrd. The latter three.
Is alleged, were also connected
with bribery In the legislature. The
nsurgents carried three congression
al districts, tho ninth, eleventh nnd
thirteenth. Joseph a. Cannon was
re-nominated, but his plurality was
reduced.
The defeat of If. L. Boutell, after
many years In Congress, by F. II
Gansbergen, who announced himself
as a "progressive," caused little sur
prise locally, as did the defeat of
Representative Geo. E. Foss. Mr.
Fobs, who is chairman of the com
mittee on naval affairs, has always
voted with the regulars at Washing
ton, and he stnted In his campaign
speeches tlint some months ago he
had Informed Mr. Cannon that he
felt free to reserve his judgment as
to how he should vote In the next
Speakership contest.
G. P. Englohnrdt compaigned on
an unmistakable "progressive" plat
form nnd all licked the present mem
ber on his record on the tariff ond
as a supporter of tho Cannon rules.

up from the grandstand.
In the second heat Imrfee was
compelled to extend his mure to win
against Prince Lot, who took second
money. The first heat went to Helen
Stiles by a good margin nnd she led
under tho wire by nearly n length.
The race Is conceded by horsemen
to be the greatest ever seen on this
track.
Oregon Derby Canceled.
The Oregon Derby, which was on
the card today for a $500 purse, was
canceled owing to nn alleged "frame
up" on the part of some of the horse
men, said lo have been discovered by
Leslie Gnlhreath, assistant clerk of
the course.
The board decided to cancel the
race, after hearing Gnlbrentb's state

the owners wished to. Gnlbreatli
