If tho verdict of KDilty rendered by an'Orcon jury on July 4, aguinst Sen ator John H. Mitchell (Rep.) is irre versible, the government litis gainer1 its first substantial victory in tho cam paign which it is waging against sen ators charged with taking bribes. Sen ator Charles II. Dietrich (Rep.), of Nebraska, was acquitted, and Sena tor Joseph R. Burton (Rep. ), of Kan sas, once convicted,, lias been granted a now trial. But the Portland Ore goniau (Rep.) asserts that the convic tion of Senator Mitchell is based on "incontestable proof." The Louis ville Courier-Journal (Dein. ) also de clares that "the facts brought to light at the trial make a record of official corruption andfalse swearing rarely developed in any criminal case." This, iiidoed, seems to be tho consent ient opinion of the press about the case. Tho only extenuation of Sena tor Mitchell that has been attempted is that his culpability might be due as much to ignorauco and carelessness as to moral obliquity. The papers whioli speak in un friendly tone of Senator Mitchell de clare that the result of the trial is the logical seqnol to his life. In support of tins' contention, they rofer to the facts that there were many marks of dishonesty and double-dealing about the man, His true name is said to be John M. Hippie, but this name he dis carded, as the story goes, to hide his identity when hofled from Pennsyl vania to tho Paoirio coast in order to escape the infolioitios of his first mar ital venture. In gouoral ooinment upon the convictod)sonn,tor's character, the Springtiold Republican (Iud. ), says: "He has woll earned the fate which uow overwhelms him. Always of ooarse fiber, he has nover won the full confidence of the "most honest and acute men of his state, of which lie has been at several periods one ot tho senators in Washington. His elections to that ollloe were always stormy and marked by a low tone of political striving." Literary Digost. DR. JOHN WELCH. A fueo familiar to residents of Ore gon City is lost sight of in the death of Dr. John Welch. Ho was tho pio noer dentist of our town. A broader Hold invited him and he entered into it. Ho proved himself capable of ful filling the requirements of new condi tions and was soon tho head of the dental profession in Portland. Throughout a painstaking, laborious and public spirited life ho held this place. Dr. Welch, up to the time of his diuith, retained property interests and had a personal interest in Oregon Ciy. Ho oamo hero often, chat toil with "old friends and reviewed with pleasuro the familiar scenes of his early manhood. One by one the builders of our pio neer town are leaving us. We tako u pt lit labor .whereat hey left oil'. In a liitle while we will grow weary anil will ask to lie relieved of duty. May wo then account as creditably for tho pastas do tluw who are leaving us now. We pause a moment in the hurry and bustle of a commercial age to bid adieu at the last parting. At such a time, those who knew him will recall ' the kind heart, tho helping haiid anil the well spent life of Dr. John Welch. EXlELLENT CHAUTAUQUA PROURAM. Those in attendance at Chautauqua are this year enjoying a rare treat. An evening's entertainment may be had here for twenty-five cents that costs ordinarily a dollar, uud the op portunity of cujoying such treats, even at the latter price, seldom pre sents itself. Homer Davenport, in his profession, has no superior in the world. Dr. Frank W. Onnsaulus is tfuT" greatest pulpit orator-'living? The.Ohauttiqua Association places this talent in the hearing of the people for a Itweuty-live cent admission ticket. Of course, in the ni'dst of harvest ing, the farmers are very busy. Dr. Uulisaulns, however, will speak at Chautauqua next Sunday. Kvery farmer who can possibly do so should, hitch up his team and w ith his family attoud Chautauqua on this day. All will enjoy a treat to bo remembered for a life time. Let usenjoy the very, very good tilings that come within our reaoh. SIDEWALKS NEEDED. It is to be hoped that the protest of the ' Pacific Bridgo Co against the construction of sidewalks on each side f Jtho suspension bridge will not pre vent the improvement. The bridgo is inconveniout anil unsafe for foot pas sengers. As it is, a frightened team may, at any time, run down holpless women and ohildron. Such accidents have several times been barely avoided. Thousands of foot passengers cross the bridgo daily. These should have a safe passageway and there is a gen eral desire on tho pait of Oregon City that the county court may see its way to provide tliesj walks. A VICIOUS PRACTICE. Our Molalla correspondent reports that fish are being dynamited in the Molalla river. Tho guilty parties are deserving of the full penalty of the law. This practice soon rids the best (rout stream of its spackeled inhabi tants. In order to secure a string of i fish hundreds of the young are de- etroyed. With a little patience plenty I of trout may be taken with the hook j and line. Thisi-t ho ouly lawful way J to get them and anyone "resorting to dynamite for the purpose should be promptly reported to tho authorities. Injured at Paper Mill. While crossing tho wet machine room at the Crown Paper mill yester day forenoon, William Hobble fell and struck on his bacu, which caused him serious injuiies. Dr. Harvey Hickman was immediately summoned and at tended the patient, who was removed to his home. Dr. Hickman stated that the injury sustaired was that of a fractured hipbone. Marriages Are Legalized. Two marriages were legalized Tues day the filing of a decree of divorce that was grauteed in the circuit court in l'J02 In the early part of 1902 Grace Hummer began a suit for divorce from A, O. Hummer. In April of that year the evidence was taken and the divorce was granted. Mrs. Hummer went to Washington and married an other man. Hummer went to British Columbia and married anothor woman. The attorney in the case, a Portland lawyer, put ,the decree in his pocket and never thought of it again. Re cently the Canadian man and Wash ington woman ascertained that no divorce was on record and they began action to have this done. Dimick & Dimick took up the. case, obtained a now docree, which was filed this morning. The Hummers will have to do still anothor stunt at the altar before they are legally married.

Injunction suit of Mrs. S. A. Chaso against the city of Oregon City was yesterday dismissed by the circuit court. Tho. suit was settled out of court by tlio parties, each party.agroo ing to pny its cosrs. P This is a suit brought last fall by Mrs. Chaso restraining the city from granting a perpetual franchise over Railroad street of this city, claiming that the franchise, if bo granted, would cover certain properties belong ing to her, and which she had title to, lying along the bluff. When this suit was filed in the cir cuit court considerable interest was manifested by tho citizens of Oregon City. It was tho time when the citi zens tried in vain to prevent the mayor and city council from granting a perpetual franchise to tho Southern Pacific Company, in return for which the company would do certain work ' ot constructing underground road crossings and overhead pedestrian crossings. The city having been successful in tho injunction suit brought by the cit zens, it is presumed that the dismissal and settlement of the suit yesterday was the outcome of tho failure of the citizens to win out heretofore.

Mr. Moody and Family Have Narrow Escape. While out for a pleasure drive Fri day Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moody and son, Kent, barely escaped a serious ac cident by jumping from the buggy in which they were riding on seeing that their horse had become frightened at a new plank in a bridge. Mr. aud Mrs. Moody were just re turning from a short dirve up the Clackamas river and were driving leisurely along when they came to a bridgo in the narrow road just cntside the city limits. The county had just finished repairing the small bridge and a now plank was visible. On ap proaching the culvert the horse be came frightened at the new plank uud started to shy. On seeing that an ac cident could not be avoided, Mrs. Moody and son Kent, jumped to the ground. Mr. Moody stayed with the vehicle, and as tho steed became more frightened, buggy and all plunged over the embankment into the gutter. On going overboard, the buggy was cramped in such a condition that tho shafts broke aud freed the horse, which started at a breakneck speed homeward. The horse ran down Main str"et of this city without molestation until it reached a point, iu front of Selling's store, wliero it ran into a farm team, breaking the touguo of tho wagon in two. Gaining its foet again, the horse started on, nnd being iu a senseless condition, ran up against the Metho dist church building and fell. Several men from the livery stable ran to the scene and loosened the harness from the animal nnd stalled him iu tho sta ble. Mr. Moody was not injured. CHOLERA INFANTUM. Child Not Expected to Live From One Hour to Anoiher, But Cured by Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Ruth, the little daughter of E. N. Dewey, of Agnewville, Va., was ser iously ill of cholera infantum last summer. "We gave her up and did not expect her to live from one hour to another." he says. "I hnppnned to think or Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and got a bot tle of it from the store. In five hours I saw a change for the better. We kept on giving it and before she had takon the half of one small bottle she was well. " This remedy is for sale by Geo. A. Harding.

Ut GREAT REDUCTIONS m DEPARTMENTS BURGLARS AT WORK. Portland Clothing House Was Robbed Sunday Morming. Burglars entered the Portland Cloth ing house early Sunday morning by means of securing an iron pipe from the secondhand store just across the street and ..breaking in "the transom over which they climbed. After gaining aucntraiiceTtliey took from one of the clothing tables a large canvas sperad and put it out upon the floor upon which they heaped their plunder. When tiiey finished ran sacking the premises they tied the bundle up and quietly left by way of a back door leading ffrom "the rear to one of the darkest streets in the city. On- discovering the robbery, G. Rosenstein, proprietor of the store, immediately notified police head quarters. Detectives nre working "on the case, and as they have 110 clue to svork upon it is doubtful whether tho burglars will f be run ) down. Mr. Rosenstein J claims that he has lost goods to the value of about $200. The merchandise nnd clothing taken con sisted principally of several suits of clothes, shoos, assorted socks, and a number of silk handkerchiefs. HELD TO CIRCUIT COURT. Milwaukie Gamblers Waive Examination and Case Will be Heard in November. Isaao Gratton and Mj. G. Nense, pro prietors of the Country Club, at Mil waukie, w'eu arraigned before Justice J. W. Grasle, at Mihvauki", Saturday, waived examination on tho charge of committing an net hy which the pub lic peace is disturbed, the public de cency outraged and public morals in jured. They were held to the circuit cr.urt, and their bonds were fixed at $200 each. These were furnished aud the defendants were released. The case against the Milwaukie resort will not come up in the circuit court until the first Monday in November. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Schu bel has also rotified the municipal authorities at Milwaukie that the poolroom at that place must be closed immediately or he will prefer charges against them on the grounds of mal feasance in office. There has been no attempt to resume gambling in this city since the raid that was made by Sheriff Shaver and Constable Trem bath last week, aud the county officials have announced their deter mination to suppress gambling thorughout the county. One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars Earned. The average man does not save to exceed 10 per cent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living for every dollar saved. That being the case he cannot be too careful about unnecessary expenses. Very often a few 'cents properly invested, like buy ing seeds for his garden, will save sev eral dollars outlay later on It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a'few cents, aud a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctor's bill' of several dollars. For sale by Goo. A. Harding. Three dozen styles. $2.25.
