Harry Stevens committed suicide Sunday night In a room In the BrunS' wick Hotel, on Seventh and Main Btreets, by hanging himself to the up per hinge In the door of his room.

On Sunday he procured a bottle of chloroform liniment, which he took to his room and drank about one-tlilrd of the preparation, dulling his sensibili ties He then calmly made a double half-hitch about the upper hinge of the door with a stout shawl strap and fastened the other end around his neck and sank down on the floor ana was slowly strangled. W. H. Wilcox, proprietor of the ho tel, became alarmed MondPv because Stevens did not appear, and at noon he went to the room and tried to gain admittance, but the door wiu locked and thore was no ie..ponso to his re peated knocking, so ho mounted to the skylight and saw the body of Stevens lying in a corner of tliu room.

One of the most notable discoveries and one that undoubtedly appeals more than anything else to many peo ple here In Oregon City Is the combin ation of stomach remedies in the Mi- o-na treatment. This prescription hag worked wonders, and there Is now no excuse for anyone suffering with Indi gestion or weak stomach. It acts specifically upon the muscles of the stomach and bowels, strength ening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that is eaten. It also increases the flow of gastric juices, thus getting from the food the nourishment hat is neces sary for health and energy. The symptoms of indigestion are numerous, such as distress after eat ing, flatulance, heart-burn, sick bead aches, dizziness and irritability. These are all dispelled by a few doses of Ml-o-na when the trouble Is recent, but just as surely in long standing and chronic cases If the treatment is followed for a reasonable length of time. So positve are the good effects fol lowing the use of Ml-o-na that the remedy is Bold by Howell & Jones un der an absolute guarantee to refund the money If it should fail to cure. r iEira oqgps ill Obstinate racking coughs that settle on the lungs and may deyelop into Pneumonia over night are quickly cured by FOLIY'S fl It soothes and heals the inflamed air passages, stops the cough, heals and strengthens the lungs.
