Mcaiaen k McDonnell, Fakirs in lhb Land There should be an emergency clause in the city or dinance regulating the licenses granted to peddlers and fakirs. Under the present conditions a fakir can claim to be the manufacturer of his wares, and the officers are practically powerless to prevent him from doing business, or even collecting license for the privilege. A fakir was selling bis bottles of medi cine for 50 cents last Saturday evening at the foot of Sixth street, and they were going like hot cakes. In fact, he was drawing a crowd like Bryan, when Officer Shaw came around and demanded that he show his license. As he had none, he was taken into custody and held until the officer consulted with the proper authorities, who advised him to turn the fakir loose. Shaw then asked the medicine peddler why he did not tell him that he was manufacturing his own remedies. He replied that it would have ruined bis business, to bave made this acknowledgment in the pretence of the crowd. Installment plan, easy payments on Sunset lota. F. E. Donaldson. Early Indiak Nambs. Grand Com mander T. A. Wood, of the Indian War Veterans, was up from Portland Mon day and has begun a series of inquiries to ascertain the original names of rivers, mountains, valleys, plains and places in the Northwest. 'Pioneers will re member many Indian names, but care will have to be exercised not to con found the Chinook names with original names as known by individual tribes. Clackamas county is probably rich in Indian lore, and the preservation of these names would make an interesting record. The names should be spelled out in syllables. If pioneers or old Indinn residents will band in any Indian names with which they are tamiliar, to K. H. Gabbert, they wi'l be' forward ed to Mr. Wood. Sweetness Put a pill in the pulpit if you want practical preaching for the physical man ; then put the pill in the pillory if it does not practise what it preaches. There's a whole gospel in Ayer's Sugar Coated Pills ; a " gospel of sweetness and light." People used to value theif physio, as they did their religion, by its bitterness. The more bitter the dose the better the doctor. We've got over that. "We take "sugar in ours" gospel or physio now-a-days. It's possible to please and to purge at the same time. There may be power in a pleasant pill. That is the gospel of , Ayer's Cathartic Pills. More pill particulars in Ayer's Curebook, 100 pages. Sent free. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass. Cut Prices!

G., is battling with the military powers to determine . whether or not they can collect fines imposed on a members of the national guard for non attendance at drill. He was court martialed some time ago. and a fine of $3 was imposed which he refused to pay. Upon returning to the city, after a brief absence, he was arrested Wednesday by Constable McOown, the transcript of the case having been transferred to Jusiice Schuebel's court by the military authori' ties. The justice issued an execution, which resulted in Bradley's arrest. Yesterday in County Judge Hayes' court a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, was argued on account of lack of jurisdiction by the justice court. The question of the constitutionality of the law in this matter will probably be con sidered , and the case will likely go to the supreme court to be tested on its merit . and Light.
