W, P. & Railway Company's line running between Oregon City and Port land, was held up while on its way from Portland to Sellwood, by a band of rob bers and the paBeengers relieved of money and valuables. There were six persons in the band of robbers, and all wore handkerchiefs over their faces and went about their work like old bands at the business The ill-fated car with its load of hn. man height left the city station at the corner of First and Alder street at 11 :20 in charge of Conductor Matson and Mo torman Nye. There were between 40 and 50 passengers, many of tbem re turning to their homes from the opening session of the Woodmen Carnival. When the crossing of the Southern Pacific near Iflvision street was reached the car stopped for the crossing and the switch beyond. The motorman was confronted with two six shooters and told to hold the car. At the rear the conductor met with the same command from two or more ugly guns. Then the robbers, six in number, went through the pockets of the luckless victims and secured coin and trinkets to the value of several hundred dollars. An electrician . was shot because it was thought that be was trying to escape. There is no clue as to who are the perpetrators of the robberv. AH Port land stands aghast at tbe crime, com mitted right in the outskirts of the town. The Chautauqua The tenth annual meet;ng of the Wil lamette Valley Chautauqua Association began Tuesday. Never did the meeting open under (more favorable or auspices circumstances. Even the weather, which lor the nrst several days in July was not all that could be desired, was as perfect as perfect could be, . and tbe smiling skies greeted tbe hundreds of campers. Not a cloud hung in the (azure sky; a sweet, cool breeze floated down from the mountains and all nature seemed to rejoice. A week before the Chautaunua grounds bad been inhabited only by the mammoth auditorium and the noicelss firs tbat reared their giant tops heaven ward. .Today Lundreds of white tents have sprung as if by magic from the ground and a veritable city of tents in habited by from one to two thousand people fill the old camp grounds, all bueily engaged in having a good time. Hie Uhemawa Indians arrived in full force the first of the week and are now encamped upon the grounds. Theii band furnishes much of the music for the occasion and they area never-ending source of entertainment and study to tbe Chautauqua goer. 1 tie address ol welcome was delivered by, the president ot the Association, W, O. llawley, of Salem, and the response was delivered ny Uolonel it. A. Miller. of this city. Both gentlemen spoke in ttieir usual and entertaining style. CHAUTAUQUA BASB BALI, The Ohemawa Indians defeated the SunnyBide Woodmen in the first Chau tauqua game Tuesday afternoon by a score of 21 to 6. The game was not interesting. The Woodmen put up a very good exhibition of bow not to play ball. Wednesday afternoon Oregon City was defeated by the Schillers by a score of 10 to 12. Letto, who pitched for the home team, was batted all over tbe lot. Hoyt, for tbe visitors, played good ball. Tbe pitching of Letto looked very su spicious, lie has heretotore pitched great ball, but the way he was hit in the game Wednesday caused many to make the charge tbat be had sold out. Neither team played brilliant ball. In fact the game was what might be termed "rotten." Oregon City was forced to play in any old uniform they could get. P. G. Shark, who is the manager for tbe regular organization here, refused to al low his suits to be turned over ;to the aggregation of Ed. Reckner, and several of the regular players refused to play wiui itecK's team and omed forces witu the Schillers. The game today (Thurs day) is between the Ohemawa Indians and the Vancouver Maroons.

No woman can. If the baby has drained her vitality; if its care is a -tax; if, in short, the baby is a burden instead of a blessing, how can she enjoy it? She loves it, but she cannot feed it. She yearns for it, but has not the strength 10 ionaie u. - , There is nothing more beautiful in the .world than a healthy mother and her healthy child. The madonna is the highest reach of human art. In the serene strength which art gives to the typical mother and child there islistinct denial of suffering and weakness as a necessity of motherhood. But how few women are there to whom motherhood is naturally an abiding joy. In how many cases a woman dates her loss of health from the birth of her child I To all such suffering women Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription conies as a veritable god-send. It prepares the mother for her hour of trial, tranquilizes her nerves, encourages her appetite, and brings her restful sleep. It makes the baby's ad vent practically painless, and gives the mother abundant strength to nurse and nourish her child, , Every claim made for "Favorite Pre scription " is supported by the testimon ials of wives and mothers, thousands in number, and covering in their several experiences the whole range of womanly suffering. In a great number of cases after the utter failure of all doctors and medicines, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, tried as a last resort, has ef fected a perfect and permanent cure. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All womanly con fidences held under the seal of strict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. There is no alcohol in " Favorite Pre scription" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics. Between Life and Death, "I think Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Diicovery 1 the best med icines in the world," writes Mrs. Amelia Dough erty, of Kerrigun, Wayne Co., Mo. "My baby was born last summer. After baby came I be came ill, had the be it physician that could be got, and he diagnosed my case as uterine trouble tending to dropsy. Medicine seemed to do me no good; I lingered between life and death for ' fulte a while, every day grdwinp; weaker, until could not walk across the room. My friends were looking for my death every minute. A friend wrote and told me about Dr. R. V. Pierce, and I at once wrote to him for medical advice. He replied immediately, giving me full instruc tions as to what to do. I at once followed his advice, and when I had taken his medicine bout a week I felt a good deal stronger. When I had takes it about one month I ait as strong as I do to-day. I took four bottles of each kind and two viali of ' Pleasant Pellets.' Many thanks for the medicine. It has cured me per manently." t . Gained 40 Pounds, "I am very glad to let other poor sufferera know what Dr. Pierce's medicines have done for me," writes Mrs. Edwin H. Ganluer, of Beech wood, Norfolk Co., Mass., Box 70. "You know I wrote to you last summer. I read what your medicine had done for other people, so thought I would try it, and I found that is was a blessing to me and my family. 1 began in Tune and took six bottles of your medicine, and three vials of ' Pellets.' I took vour medicine a year when I had a ten pound girl. I had the easiest time I ever had wfth any of my three children, I have been very well since 1 took your medi cine. I took three bullies of ' Favorite Prescrip tion,' three of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and three viala of ' Pellets.' I had no appetite and could not eat much without it distressing me before I took your ' Favorite Prescription ' and I only weighed 135 pounds. Now I weigh. 171 punds." Dr. Pierce's Tleasant Pellets commend themselves as a family laxative. They are easy to take, effective in results, and their use does not beget the pill habit.
