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.

On a Writ ok Habeas Corpus. R.
N. Bradley, a private in Company F, 0.
N. 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 .
