CLOUDS ARE LIFTING.
The business holiday season
about to come to an end. The finan
clal situation Is rapidly adjusting it
self and we confidently expect to be
soon sailing along on the. prosperity
wave that broke so suddenly. There
will be caution for a time; men will
be disposed to retrench, labor will
not be in such great demand, but with
the coming summer months devel
opment will undobutedly move for
ward.
Let us have a care that we do not
precipitate more trouble. A month
ago we were not disposed to hurry
up debtors in the payment of their
accounts. We must now understand
that there has been little opportunity
during the last month to accumulate
means to meet existing obligations
and great Indulgence should be shown
debtors. Our people can nearly ai
ways be relied upon to exercise sound
judgment when it Is called for. Let
us be sure that we live up to our
reputation in this matter.
. GOLDFIELD.
The mining town of Goldfleld, Ne
vada, is virtually under martial law,
The necessity of calling Government
troops to tnis place is a gloomy re
Section on the citizenship of the local
Ity. It is to be presumed that law-
abiding citizens there are in the
minority for otherwise the situation
would bo taken care of locally.
Sympathy will not be with the
miners In the Goldfleld dlfflcutly, un
less there Is "another side" that the
public has not yet heard. A peculiar
money condition has prevailed
throughout the country and the loyal
citizenship has philosophically ac
cepted a substitutde medium of ex
change in place of gold. It Is report
ed that the Goldfleld miners refused
to acquiesce in this necessary re
course, that they refused to operate
the mines unless the mine-owners
pay In a manner at present imprac
ticable and that they also refused w
let others operate the mines. It is
also said that the mines are suffer
ing almost irreparable damage by
reason of the Inactivity and that the
result of the strike is an enormous
loss of property.
It may be that Colorado's Cripple
Creek drama is about to be re-enacted.
There Is no warrant for a re
newal of the suffering, distress, bru
tality and crime of those days. If
well paid labor has shown Itself in
capable of rising to the responsibil
ity and seriousness of this occasion
it has dona much to lose for organiz
ed labor the confidence and sympathy
of the whole people. It has inflicted
upon Itself a staggering blow.
It is probably a truth, and most
unfortunately so, that labor organ
izations throughout the country are
inclined to extend to a local organi
zation sympathy and aid in Its dis
putes with employers, whether the
local organization be right or wrong.
The cause of labor to become, as It
should be, an ornament among the
Institutions of our country, muBt In
trench itself behind the bulwarks of
equity and fair dealing. In fact on
this one condition organized labor
will stand or fall. Organized labor
will achieve a lasting triumph If it
denounce the stand of the Goldfleld
miners and demand that they bear
their share of the burden that has
come upon the whole people of the
Nation.

Good Cough Medicine for Children
The season for coughs and colds Is
now at hand and too much care cannot
be used to protect the children. A
child is much more likely to contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when he lias
cold. The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy Is the sole reliance of
many mothers, and few of those who
have tried It are willing to use any
other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley,
V. Va., says: "I have never used
anything other than Chamberlain's
Cough Homedy for my children and
It has always given good satisfaction."
This romody contains no opium or
other narcotic and may ba given as
iinfldently to a child as to an adult,

Sweden's Ruler Passes Away at an
Advanced Age.
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 8. Oscar II,
King of Sweden, died at 9:10 o'clock
this morning. The death of the ven
erable monarch occurred in the royal
apartments of the palace, where, sur
rounded by the members of his fam
ily, including the aged Queen, Sophia,
and the Crown Prince, Oscar Gustave,
the high Ministers of state, the inevit
able end had been awaited, while out
side the palace great crowds stood
with bowed heads and tearful eyes
long after the announcement came of
the death of their well-beloved sov
ereign.
The succession to the throne of
Sweden now passes to Oscar Gustave
Adolphe, Duke of Verland, the oldest
son of the late King. At a meeting of
the Council of State this afternoon,
the new King took the oath of elle-
glence under the title of Gustave V,
and adopted the motto, With the
people of the fatherland."
The Princess then took the oath
of allegiance and the new monarch
accepted the homage of the state offi
cials. ,
The last hours of the expiring
monarch were passed In unconscious
ness, and up to the end he gave no
sign of recognizing those about him.
The Queen was grief-stricken because
he could not bid her farewell.
King Oscar has long been one of
the most Interesting figures of Eu
ropean royalty, his descent from Na.
poleon's great field marshal, Berna
dotte, his gigantic stature and his fam
ily connections with many of the other
great houses of Europe combining to
give him an interesting personality.
His truly democratic habits have
made him idolized by his subjects,
who have regarded him more as a
father than a monarch.
It was King Oscar's devotion to the
cause of peace that attracted the at
tention of both the United States and
Great Britian when the two countries
were framing the Olney-Pauncefote
general treaty of arbitration, and the
document named King Oscar as final
arbitrator should those representing
the two countries fall to agree.
SUICIDE AT MOLALLA.
John Nicxan, Farm Hand, Blows Out
Brains With Shot Gun.
Coroner Holman returned Saturday
night from Molalla, where he held
an inquest over the body of Nicxan,
who suicided Friday night -at the
home of Hans Larsen, one and one
half miles northwest of Molalla. Mr.
Holman was accompanied by John W.
Loder, the coroner's stenographer, and
the jury returned a verdict in accord
ance with the facts. Nicxan was bur
led- at Molalla.
Tho unfortunate man was 52 years
of age, unmarried, and had no rela
tives in the We3t, but is survived by
a sister and three brothers In Mas
sachusetts. He came to Clackamas
County from La Grande, where about
one year ago he lost his left arm. For
a time he worked for his board at the
Moshberger place, and after the hop
picking season was over he went to
Mr. Larsen's farm. The testimony at
the inquest disclosed the fact that the
loss of his arm made Nicxan despond
ent, and he frequently tried to obtain
possession of a gun.
Last Friday he seemed to be quite
cheerful,' and went out of the house
late in the afternoon. About six
o'clock Mr. Larsen went to his chicken
house to see that the fowls were all
safe for the night. Shortly after his
return he heard two shots fired, and
feared that Nicxan had destroyed him
self. The shots were also heard by
Mr. Wllhelm, a farmer who lives near
the Larsen place, and they instituted
a search that lasted until 11 o'clock
Friday night, and they looked every
where but the chicken house, where
Mr. Larsen had been only a few min
utes before the fatality.
Saturday morning the search was
resumed and the hunters went to the
chicken house and found the body
Nicxan. He had tied a cork screw
on the end of a stick and in that man
ner fired the fatal shot. The first
attempt was not successful, the bul
lets going through the roof of the
chicken housu. Nicxan had then de
liberately placed the muzzle of the
weapon in his mouth and touched the
trigger, and his head was frightfully
mangled, the chicken house being
spattered with his brains and blood

Hon. VVm. C. Hunter Uses
Peruna As a family
Medicine.
tVTHEN a man of undoubted r errata-
w
tion comes out squarely In public
print, giving unqualified endorsement to
a household remedy there must be some
thing genuine to account for it.
Hon. W. G. Hunter, of North Caro
lina, well-known In Washington and
throughout the Sonthern States, says of
Peruna that he regards it as the greatest
family medicine ever discovered.
He does not hesitate to say that
Parana invigorates and gives fresh
strength to mind and body. -
Such testimonials as this ought to
make Peruna popular.
No advertising known to the arts of
man, no commercial management could
ever raise Peruna to such a high stand
ard of appreciation as the frank and un
qualified statements of such men.

ROAD MEETING DRAWS CROW
Eugene White, of Vancouver.
The funeral of the late Eugene
White, a pioneer resident of this
county, was held Sunday in Vancou
ver, Wash., from St. James' Cathe
dral, the remains being interred In
the Catholic cemetery. There was a
large attendance of relatives and for
mer friends, of the dead man, who
was well known among the older resi
dents.
For the past few years Mr. White
had been a resident of Portland, and
It was at his home in that city that
he died last Wednesday. He was 72
years of age, and a native of Louis
iana. From the state of his birth he
removed, while still a boy, to Arkan
sas, and In 1853 crossed the plains in
an ox team, first settling in Oregon
City. In 1857 he removed to this city,
and was a resident of Clark County
until a few years ago, when he remov
ed to Portland. During the civil war
he was employed as a teamster for
the military department at this point,
In 1808 he was married to Miss Em
ma Vance.
Mrs. Alma Brelthaupt.
Mrs. Alma Brelthaupt, wife of H,
Brelthaupt, a prominent farmer of
Barton, died Sunday morning, aged 49
years. The funeral took place at
11:30 o clock Monday morning from
the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Damascus, and the remains were In
terred in Damascus cemetery. Be
sides a husband, Mrs. Boltlianpt Is

man and prominent member of dif
ferent fraternal societies, (ijed at his

Push Work on New Bridge.
Work Is progressing rapidly on the
new stoe bridge across the Clnclia
mas River for the Oregon Water Pow
er & Railway Company, and the struc
ture will.be completed in a few weeks
at most. The steel girders are in
place and a single rail has been placed
on each side of the main track, and
on these tracks is operated the crane
for carrying the huge pieces of steel.
Good Record of Sheriff.
Only $4,323.11 remains uncollected
and delinquent of the 1907 tax roll
and Sheriff Beatle has collected
$238,231.77. This showing Is the, beat
record that has ever been made in
the sheriff's office, and displays a dis
position on the part of the property
owners of Clackamas County to pay
their taxes promptly. The total
amount of the roll, when received by
Sheriff Boatlo, was $238,754.88.
Beware of Frequent Colds.
A succession of colds or a protract
ed cold Is almost certain to end In
chronic catarrh, from which few per
sons ever wholly recover. Give every
cold the attention It deserves and
you may avoid a. disagreeable disease.
How can you cure a cold? Why not
try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy? It
Is highly recommended. Mrs. M.
White, of Butler, Tenn., says: "Sev
eral years ago I was bothered with
my throat and lungs. Someone told
me of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I
began nxlng It and It relieved mc at
once. Now my throat and lungs are
sound and well." For sale by Huntley

People of Oak Grove Meet and Discuss
the Situation.
County roads enlisted the attention
of the people of Oak Grove Friday
night at a meeting in the schoolhouse
that was well attended. Among the
speakers were County Judge Dlmick
Ex-County Commissioner Richard
Scott, Ex-County Superintendent
Harvey G. Starkweather and B. Lee
Paget, secretary of the Portland Trust
Company of Oregon. Mr. Paget'
home Is in Oak Grove, although his
business is in Portland, and he hurled
a series of questions calculated to
bring him enlightenment on the vexed
question. County Assessor Nelson
was an interested spectator.
The Oak Grove district is a large
one and conforms to the present lim
its of the .voting precinct, and this
condition is not altogether satisfac
tory to the people of the village, many
of whom desire to eliminate sue
properties as Richard Scott's farm
the Golf Links, and the Southern Pa
cific tracks, placing them In the Har
mony district. It is claimed that the
cost of making roads and keeping
them improved In the far-away terri
tory is of practically no benefit to the
Oak Grove people, who travel for the
most part on an electric railway line,
The road district has received this
year from the county road money and
road poll taxes about $1,400, but this
amount has not been spent in the dis
trict, as there has been a scarcity o
labor, and the predominating custom
of working out road taxes does not
prevail to a large extent in Oak Grove
It is not considered probanie tna;
a special levy will be made there th:
year, and the meeting was held pr
marily to familiarize the people with
the system In vogue In Clackamas
County.
MORE GENINI TROUBLE.

whom Mrs. Genlni is alleged to be so
intimate that Jefferies Is harbored at
Macksbure bv the parents of the

when he had arrested Jefferies sev
eral weeks ago at Macksburg on a
charge of having threatened to kill
Genlni, he found his man alone In the
house with the child, It is also al
leged that Mathews permitted the
girl to accompany Mrs. Genlni and
Jefferies awav from the house and
that they took the little one to a pub

companions for his daughter. There
is a divorce suit pending between the
ill-assorted pair in the Clackamas
County Circuit Court.
The ease was heard Thursday De-

which had stopped up my head and also

"He gave me soma medicine, but four
months faithful nse of the same did me
no good. I then tried other doctors, but
It was just the same.
"So I decided to try Peruna and after
using two bottles my lungs began to
heal, I did not cough nearly so much
and slept better.
"In six months the cough, catarrh

then Mr. McGlashan formed the com
pany, and the stock was largely sub
scribed to by employes of the paper
mills in small amounts. The capital
stock was $5000, and while more than
half of this amount had been sub
scribed, only $2000 had been paid in
The directors are W. H. Smith, George
Frey, Charles Buchanan and John F.
Clark. Mr. Smith is president and
Mr. Frey is secretary. Mr. McGlash
an took charge of the business, which
he operated until about one month
ago when he resigned to go to Med-
ford, where he has gone into business
with R..A. Junken, who was employed
In the store. Since that time W. W.
Meyers has been in charge.
Mr. Clark talks freely about the
suspension and says the concern has
paid its way since Mr. Meyers took
charge, but he states that under Mr.
McGlashan's management the store
lost $100 per month, on a business of
5100 per day.
'About last, September," said Mr.
Clark, "Mr. McGlashan purchased
rjoods amounting to about $1700, pay
able In CO and 90 days and simply
used bad judgment In overstocking,
making purchases that are usually
made for January delivery. These
goods were unloaded on us and the
bills are over due. The store can un
questionably pay out if given time."
ARRESTED ON TWO CHARGES.
Paper Mill Employes Said to Have
Stolen Net and Fished Without License.
Two charges have been lodged in
the office of Deputy District Attorney
Eby against Isaac Pursiful, Charles
Bullard and Clarence Osburn, all of
them employes of the paper mills.
They are accused of stealing a set net
from Charles Ely, a well known fisher
man and constable of Justice District
No. 4, and they are also charged with
having fished with a set net without
license. Pursiful and Bullard were
arrested Monday night by Sheriff
Beatis, but Osburn disappeared last
Friday.
The set net is valued at $40. It is
alleged by Constable Ely that his net
as taken last Spring. He suspected
these three men with having cached
it away, but laid low, and a week ago
he saw them bring out the net and set
It in the river. Ely at once proceeded
to cut the net loose and take it up.
and claims that he went to Pursiful
who admitted having set the net.
Bimard and Pursiful furnished
bonds in the sum of $100 each on the
larceny charge and will have a hear
ing next Monday. On the charee of
fishing without a license they were al
lowed to go without bail, and this
charge will probably be heard next
Tuesday.
Football at Willamette.
The Alblna Victors won Sunday
against the Oregon City team in a
football game on Willamette Falls
field by a score of 6 to 2, the Portland
boys making one touchdown, against
a satety for the home team. Rain fell
during nearly all of the game and the
field was heavy, making fast plays
impossible, but the game was fairly
interesting. Clark, of the Alblna
team, went through the locals for a
touchdown in the first half and the
goal was kicked, and in the second
half Oregon City forced a safety.
