As an expeditious and certain means of "shuffling off this mortal coil," the automobile oarries the belt. Indorsed by Hore States than Needed. A San Francisco society man is being sued for a laundry bill amounting to nearly $1000. Things that went into the wash are com ing out in the newspapers. If tub government would buy a shipload of automobiles and present them to the insurreotos in the Phil ippines, the disturbances in the islands would likely be brought to a prompt and satisfactory con ftmninn T'he Bangor Ex-ehaugnf published at Bangor, Coos county, the pro posed terminus of the Great Central Railroad, is at hand. The town is mostly on paper yet, but if it grows to fit the typographical appearance f the Exchange, it will not be long until it will be the banner town on the Coast. A train, consisting of thirty-five cars loaded with canned salmon, left Portland for the east last week. The shipment amounted to 6125 tons. If Daniel Webster could look over the railings and see that train speeding eastward over what was in his time a desert, fit only for "savage beasts and still more sav age men," he would be likely to change his mind about Oregon's fitness to be added to the territory of the United States. x re aisoursements tor pensions for service in the civil and other wars, has passed the high-water nark and is now steadily declining. Daring the year ending June 30, 1893, the amount expended for this purpose was over $156,000,000, last year $137,400,741 was dis bursed, a decrease of about twenty villions in ten years. The pension Est now comprises practically one million Dames but the mortality among the old soldiers increases with each year, and from this on will be a prominent factor in the reduction of the amount expended. Just one year ago today what as mortal of William MoKinl y was laid to rest in the cemetery at died at bis home, Canton, Ohio. Treacherously shot- September 9. 1902, down, just at the time when the great plans he had formed and per fected for the benefit of this nation and humanity in general were nepr- ing fruition, his death sent a thrill f horror and regret to the utter most ends of the earth- Today, as a year ago, as she lays a tribute on the tomb, on the firBt anniversary of the burial of him, who through ent almost a life-time of companion- chip, was ever the tender, thought- fnl protector, ever ready to minister to her wants, helping her to bear the burdens of-long yens of invali diem and whose last thought of artbly things was of ber, the heart of a great nation throbs in sym patny witn tne widow ot our mur dered president, and mourns with ber for the honored dead. Washington, Sept. 14 The New York Republican managers, in d ciding to indorse Roosevelt for the nomination in 1904, have made comparatively easy for him to se cure the nomination. Tho decision at this time moans much first, that Piatt does not believo ho cou defeat Roosevelt, if ho tried, and second, that tho big trusts so poten tial in New York politics will, not undertake to prevent the nomina tion of Roosevelt two years from now. Tho most prominent men who have declared against Roosevelt because of his position on trusts are J. P. Morgan and James Hill. Both made their declarations some months ago, when Rooseve first began the anti-merger suits, Morgan made his displeasure felt by threatening to recall his accept ance to Roosevelt's dinner to Prince Henry, but was dissuaded by influ ential friends. Hill gave Minne sota congressmen to understan that he did not wai.t any more of Roosevelt, and some of them began at once to prate about President Roosevelt trying to bulldoze Con gress on tho Cuban reciprocity leg islation. It is an interesting fact that both Morgan and Hill are Demociats, of the Cleveland pattern instead of the Bryan kind, however. With New York 11 states with 324 delegates have declared for Roosevelt in 1904. They are New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mis soun, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Col orado, Uiah, California and Wah ington. Other states have indorsed bis administration in the most cordial terms and there is not sight wny where a candidate who is likely 1 1 get a single vote in the Republi -an - National Convention for president. Mtmoriam of Levi H. Faucett. 5TALE DRUOS A HENACE to health. They not only lose tbeir efficacy, but oftentimes become posi tively poisonous, owing to chemical changes. You may firmly counton get- Mug the most carefully selected and well preserved medicaments here, at right prices. If we have pot served you Before, why not hv n nn-y STRAr O'S DRUfl STORE, Mcuioru. Oregon We are again reminded that deith Is no respecter of persons; that all must snbmit to bis claim. The com inanity has reason to mourn the loss of a good man, whose character and life was- an inspiration to all who knew him About one year ago his health began to fail rapidly and although all was done that climate and medical skill could do, he continued to fall until death baffled all remedy. Levi H. Faucett was born May 27, 1839. In Orange count v. Indiana, and In West Medford He inlisted In the 38th Indiana Volunteers in 1862, and served two years and eight months with honor to himself and 10 his country, and during which time he was commis sioned zna lieutenant, ana later on as Captain. He was married to Miss Sarah E. Webb, April 20, 1864, moved to Ne braska In 1880, and' to Oregon In 1892. Five children survive him: L. Blanche Copley, of Medford; Rev. J. Elmer Paucett, of Tioton, Iowa; Geo. T. Pau cett, Wells, Fargo a?ect, of this city; Rev. Kobt. I. Faucett, of NInui Tal, India, and Carl W the youngest son. He united with the Methodist Episco pal Church in bis youth. His consis tent life, scholarly attainments, benev olent spirit and untiring activltv rendered him very helpful to his brethren. His clear conception of Bible truth was the fruit of a pious life and a keen and active mind. And so faith ful was he, that by the aid or his pious wife, he "Commanded his house after him," and his family is a credit to any community where they may dwell. The "Memory of the righteous Is blessed. ' The funeral services were conducted at the home by Rev. W. B. Moore, pas tor of the M. E. Church, of which the deceased was a member, clais leader, and trustee at the time of his death, The pastor took for bis basis of the funeral address, Job vil:16 "I would not live alway," the application of which suggested the chief character istics and experiences of the deceased Tbe kindly tribute of the community Indicated the high esteem in which he was held, and his wide acquaintance, both In tho city and the county. The interment took place at tbe Odd Fel lows Cemetery, and was concluded with a floral service in which neighbors and friends took part with the church.
