Four Retiring Directors 1'ut Bark In
Office Yesterday
, Four outpoint directors of . the
Grande Rondo Chautauqua association
E. E. Bragg, W. D. McMillan, Ed.
Jasper and C. J. Black were yester
day put back to serve another term
when the annual meeting of members
was held at Riverside Parle at the high
noon hour. The business transacted
consisted chiefly in electing the new
directors, who were put back in of
fice as a tribute to the general satis
faction by the membership to the of
ficial acts of the board this year, and
to hear the report of the treasurer.
George T. Cochran, who has the purse
in hand, was unable to report defi
nitely what thetoxpenditures will be,
but the gross receipts for the year
were $3,020.50. This amount of money
will be ample to pay all bills and have
something left over. It is estimated
that the expenses will reach $2,t00.00
in which event there will be about
$400.00 left to apply on improvements
at the park, such as a lighting of the
park on a permanent basis, and en
larging the pavilion.

' Americans in Vienna Insulted
London, July 5. Americans are de
cidedly persona non grata in Vienna.
English are detested as much by the
Viennese as they are by the Germans,
accordinc to an American just re-
turend from the Austrian capital.
Americans are hated
because they
speak English.
"It is unsafe for Americans
speak English in the streets
to
and
cafes," said the American.
" 'We hate everything English,' said
two Austrian officers to me," added
the American. "I happened to be in a
cafe near Graben with some attaches
from the American embassy, and, us
was quite natural, I was speaking
English with them.
"The officers repeated their remark,
whereupon I wrote on my card that
I was an American, and offered it to
them.
"They declined to take my card and
asserted more loudly than before that
they did not care whether we were
English or Americans.
"Everyone in the cafe got excited,
stood up and yelled at us, 'Out with
you! Get out! Throw them oul!'
"We defied the two officers to give
us their cards, which they refused.
We threw down our cards on their
table and left. v
"Another day, having" said, n few
words in English over the telenhone
i in a cate, i was msuitea as i ion tne
telephone cabin by a man who said,
'We want no English here.' to which I
replied, 'And we wouldn't want you
in the states'."
According to this American, all
Viennese shops prominently display
postcards, boxes of matches and badg
es of all varieties, with the motto in
sribed, "God Punish England."
The Viennese are of the opinion
that the war is all over but the shout
ins, with the Central Empires on top.
! They crowd about the cafes daily,
listen to the gipsey bands and drink
to the health of the army.
I ."Though only women, children and
old men-remain as civilians they look
upon the daily rations of bread, meat,
sugar and other necessities of life as
a military necessity which will soon
fade away when the Central Empires
vieem it prudent to make peace.
I Scattered throughout Vienna
are
.numerous, government depots for the
(reception of ibrass, copper and other
metals.
The windows are placarded with
'posters three feet high, with a pic-
enormous shell, and under it the in
Iscription: 'Your government needs
icoppor for these shells.'
The people have given practically
'all the copper they possess but have
received a good price frdm the gov
ernment for it.
Should Sloan's Liniment Go Along?
Of course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away
and get you in fine shape for the mor
row. You should also use it for a
sudden attack of toothache, stiff neck,
backache, stings, bites and the many
accidents that re incidental to a va
cation. "We would as soon leave our
baggage as po on a vacation or camp
out without Sloan's Liniment." Writes
one vacationist: "We use it for every
thing from cramps to toothache." Put
a bottle in your bag. be prepared and
have no regrets. Adv.
SETBACK GIVEN DRUG ACT
Two Defendant in Federal Court Are
Released
Philadelphia, June 25. The prose
cution of offenders under the Harri
son anti-narcotic law received a set
back when Judge Thompson, in the
Federal District Court, in ordering the
acquittal of two defendants, declared
that the possession of "dope," even in
large quantities, without evidence of a
! sale or an attempted sale, was not a
violation ot tne law.
The court acted under a recent de
cision of the United States Supreme
Court. Judge Thompson, in deciding
whether the cases of Robert Martin
and Thomas Rowan should go to the
jury, said:
"I (realize the importance of the pro
visions of the Harrison act being en
forced, ibut I cannot take your con
struction of the decision of the Su
preme Court without going into the
teeth of that decision. The decision of
the Supreme Court, as I read it, is that
mere possession is not prima facie evi
dence or presumptive evidence of a
criminality -against the Harrison law.
The evidence offered in this case , has
not measured up to the proof required
to permit he vase to go to the jury,
and therefore I am obliged to direct
the acquittal of the defendants."
For a conviction the government re
lied on the circumstantial evidence of
a large quantity of drugs, scales,
small envelopes and other parapher
nalia used in the dispensing of drugs,
which were found in the possession of
the men. There are now 40 cases
pending in the Federal' Court in this
city, in which the evidence is similar
to that adduced in the case decided
It is understood that the government
will not call these cases for trial un
til the matter is threshed out.
Constipation and Indigestion..
"I have used Chamberlain's Tablets
and must say they are the best I have
ever used for constipation and indi
gestion. My wife also used them for
indigestion and they did her good,"
writes Eugene S. Knight, Wilmington,
N. C. Chamberlain's Tablets are mild
and gentle m their action. Give them
a trial. You are certain to be pleased
with the agreeable laxative . effect
which they produce. Obtainable
everywhere. Adv.
Car Shortage Again Acute
Salem, Or., July 1. Edward Os
trander, secretary of the public serv
ice commission, announced today that
according to advices received from
the Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany it is now short 218 closed
freight cars and 350 open cars.
Teh lumber people are said to he
the heaviest sufferers from the car
shortage. Because of the failure of
the company to provide cars the
Ewauna Box company, of Klamath
PFalls, recently closed. , Members of
the commission are inclined to be
lieve that the longshoremen's strike
has considerably aggravated the sit
uation. After repeated attempts to ob
tain cars from the Southern Pacific,
the Klamath Manufacturing com
pany today appealed to the com
mission for help and following its
customary practice the commission
forwarded the complaint to the head
of the railroad company. The lum
ber company says, because of in
ability to obtain cars, it has dis
missed 50 per cent of its employes,
and that unless relief is obtained it
will have to close. The indications
are that the situation is growing more
acute instead of better.
IMik Good Feel Good.
No one can either feel good nor
look good while suffering from con
stipation. Get rid of that tired,
draggy, lifeless feeling by a treat
ment of Dr. King's New Life Pills.
Buy a box today, take one or two
pills tonight. In the morning that
stuffed, dull feeling is gone and you
feel better at once. 25c at your drug
gist. Adv. "

Spokane, Wash., July 5. Lund-of-
fices were thrown open today for
those who want to participate in one
of Uncle Sam's last great land-raffles.
approximately ij;u,UUl) acres, com
prising the south half of the Colville

the east and south to the Okanogan
river on the West. It is about 70
miles east and west, and 40 miles
north vd south. The elevation var
ies from 1000 to 5000 feet. Stock
raising probably will become the
greatest industry of the land thrown
open to entry.
Bilousncss and Stomach Trouble.
"Two years ago I suffered from fre
quent attacks of stomach trouble and
biliousness," writes Miss Emma Ver
bryke, Lima, Ohio. "I could eat very
little food that agreed with me and
I became so dizzy and sick at my
stomach at times that I had to take
hold of something to keep from fall
ing. Seeing Chamberlain's Tablets ad
vertised I decided to try them. I im
proved rapidly." Obtainable every

HUGHES BETTING FAVORITE
Wall-Street Man Has $60,000 to Wag
er Against $50,000 on Wilson
New York, June 25. Little money
to be bet on President Wilson's chanc
es of re-election was reported in the
financial district, but followers of
Hughes were ready to quote odds.
Chestert Thompson, the stakeholder
for many wagers placed on the curb
let it be known that he had $i0,000
of Hughes money in sight to be put
up against $50,000 by bnckers of the
President. This was an individual of
fer and was said in the street to be
the largest single wnger mentioned in
a Presidential campaign in many
years.
In betting quarters It was said it is
too early in the campaign to size up
the extent of the ibets likely to be
made. Owing to the big profits made
in stocks ami manufacturing in the
past year the close watchers of abort
ing developments predict the betting I
win reacn greater proportions before
the polls open next November than on
any similar occasion.
