Mix the following by shaking well
In a bottle, and take In teaspoonful

regulates urination, especially at
night, curing even the worst forms of
bladder weakness.
Every man and woman here who
feels that the kndneys are not strong

mix this prescription at home and
give it a trial, as it is said to do won'

cities have made announcements of
it to their readers.
E3TACADA MAN'S CONFIDENCE IS
BETRAYED.
Ed Nelson Plays Good Samaritan to
His Impecunious Relative and
Loses $350 In Consequence.
Ed Nelson, a Baddlomaker, living on
the Eatacada carline, at Wichita Sta
tion, has been robbed of the savings
of two years, with which he had plan
ned to build a home Not only his
money gone, but so Is his brother,
Newton Nelson. The money and the
brother disappeared simultaneously.
Kelson Is loth to believe that his bro
ther would rob him, but bIhco there
was no other logical conclusion to be
reached he Bought out the police yes
terday and asked for a warrant for the
arrest for his brother
The amount taken was $350. Nel
son had been saving to put up a com
fortable cabin or bungalow on his live
acre tract. He had the money In the
bank until the recent panic, at which
time he drew the cash out and sewed
it In the mattress of his bed. Nobody
knew the secret hiding place but Nel
son's wife.
About this time Newton Nelson op
poared. He was down In his luck, llo
was out of work, hungry and dis
tressed, and Ed Nelson welcomed him
and bade him stay until work became
more plentiful. Laer, of course, the I never saw such fruit before
brother was told of the money having
been taken from the bank and of the
hiding place.
Last Monday Newton disappeared.
The other Nelson was very much wor
rled. He thought his brother might
have met with an accident and asked
the police to look out for him. Noth
ing was thought of the missing money.
The following day, however, the sig
nificance of Newton's sudden leavetak
Ing became manifest. .:
The first load of lumber with which
the new bungalow was to be built ar
rived on the Nelson premises. After
it had been unloaded, Mrs. Nelson
went to the mattress to get money to
pay for it. At the place where she had
sewed In the money there was a slit.
The money was gfme, to the last
penny.
Nothing ele about the house was
missing and since jewelry- might have
been taken and other articles fit alue.
the Nelsons were surprised at che lax
methods of the burglar that had vis
ited their home. Then it flashed on
them who the thief must he. Proof
of the missing brother's guilt seemed
conclusive. It was recalled that he
left without saying a word and that
he had acted peculiarly before leaving.
It took two days for Nelson to allow
himself to think that he had been rob
bed by his own brother of the little
hoard saved for purchasing a home.
Yesterday he consulted Deputy District
Atorney Stevenson and presented the
facts. A warrant would have been is
sued at once, except that Wichita is
just over the line in Clackamas county.
Nelson was referred to the District
Attorney at Oregon City. He said he
Intended following the case up and
having his brother returned.
In any place I've been
It was so well assorted, and looked
So neat and clean.
Potatoes, too, of every kind,
. And pumpkins large were there,
And one of them would make a pie
To each one at the fair.
There were cabbage, beets and cauli
flower, And corn, both ripe and green.
I think it was the largest fair
That ever I have seen.
Kalian prunes and good whiteb read
On which we sometimes dine,
And jellies made by maidens fair,
And grapes for making wine.
The ladies, too, both old and young,
I think their praises should be sung.
For making laces pure and white,
As e'er was seen by morning light
They've comforts made to keep us
warm,
And floor mats for our feet,
And tidies for each rocking chair,
And cushions for each seat .
And many other things they've made:
Their names I do not know,
But bless the ladies every one.
Who graced the country show.

Oh! what a crowd upon the road;
They are going to and fro
They've been or going to the fair
In "Gladstone Park," you know.
The gardeners and the farmers, too,
Are showing fruit and grain,
And If the fair succeeds this time
We'll hav a fair again.
Now let us enter through the gates
And see what's to be seen;
I'm sure If we had had more time
It would have better been.
But each one did the best ho could,
And hopes a prize to gain,
And If we don't succeed this time
We'll try it yet again.
And as I walked within the park
Tho first thing met my sight
Was children on the hobby horses,
Screaming with dollght.
And as they went around each time,
Their joyous voices raised,
Which made me think of former times,
My childhood's happy days.
Then to the auditorium
I quickly took my way,
To see the truck and fruit again
That Mary did display.
I thought they looked so very nice,
As they appeared in view,
And each one tried tholr best to got
A ribbon red or blue.

politics In Oregon and I learned that
the only way to get anything wan to
set as many strings out as jiossibl
ind maybe one would land. I was not
a serious candidate for Congress, but
I d have taken the nomination or th
position of District Attorney. I have
elected a good many rnitd States
Senators and never got anything but
promises. I knew tnat i was being
undermined in my efforts to be United
States District Attorney, and I am cU'
fident that although I bad the promise
or miton and Mitchell, it was never
intended that I should he rewardo
with the position. I tried lo keep my
county organized, an 1 was a sort of
political employment agency in Ciack
amas, and whanevjr anyone wnnte
a Job they cams to me and 1 got It for
them If I lonld. i ih'h.i wrote a ittter
for Mrs. Wo.) LmcIc once, trying tn gc
her a position. When I wrote the let-
her a position. When I wrote the let
ters recommending Hall for District
Attorney I expected his support for
Congress. I've ex: -:thd a good many
things for- a g-eat many rears and
never got them. Neither Mitchell i,or
Fulton would have been in the Senate
if it had not been for me."
Brownell denied that he has been
promised Immunity by Heney or any
one else. He declared he would not
accept immunity from the United
States Government, for he had done
nothing wrong. He was not afraid of
a trial, for he knew he could prove his
Innocence of those field notes, but he
was shaky about an indictment, for
that would ruin him. He said he
wanted all kinds of protection against
perjured testimony, and that was why
he was willing to get out of Hall'3
way, but as for a trial on the charge
ne knew even a jury of Chinamen
would acquit him. Brownell turned
over all his private papers to, Detec
tive w, J. Burns, when the Govern
ment suspected he was connected with
the land frauds. The correspondence
was turned over after Brownell had
consulted as to the advisability with
Mitchell.
Following are letters that show
something of the working of politics
under tne old regime. These, and
many others of a similar character,
make up a part, of the evidence on
which the Government hopes to con
vict Hall.
Brownell to Mitchell.
Oregon City, Or., Oct. 28, 1903.
Hon. John H. Mitchell. U. S. Senate.
Washington, D. C My Dear Sir and
Friend; As I told you at the time. I
knew that Hall would try to make It
appear that I had some connection
with Meldrum and Wagner in some
things that occurred in the Surveyor-
uenerars office. He called me to see
him yesterday, the grand jury being
n session, and threatened me. of
ourse claiming that Hitchcock and
Ireen were pressing him to this. He
gave me to understand, after I told
him that I was In no way connected
and In no way to blame, that even if
was not, the fact of my being indict
ed would destroy my political chances,
as the Oregonian would magnify it. I
am now satisfied that Fulton has
known about this all along, as the
night he went away for Washington I
cautioned him about informing Hall
about the arrangemnets to give this
place to Campbell. If Fulton had done
as I asked him to do, Hall would not
now be pressing me, as I had told Hall
that day that I had released Fulton so
far as I was concerned. I explained
all this to Fulton and he said to me
that he would simply tell Hall that he
did not know what the delegation was
going to do and could not tell until
they met la Washington. Hall now
tells me that Fulton told him that
Campbell was to be appointed and I
was to have the division of his salary.
He finally said to me that If I would
give him a letter to you and to Ful
ton, Indorsing him to United States
District Attorney, that he would stop
any proceedings against me, and as an
evidence of the value of his services,
tells me that he would have trouble
with Hitchcock and Green, as they
were very anxious to have an Indict
ment brought In against Meldrum,
Wagner and myself. Therefore I
wrote hjm such a letter, Indorsing him
to you and Fulton both, for U. S. Dis
trict Attorney. F. C. Baker, who is
chairman of the state committee, ad
vised me to do this and said he would
see you and Fulton and insist that I
did right In doing It. Now, my dear
friend, It Is up to you and Fulton to
say whether I am going to suffer any
more in order to let Hall hold over.
If Fulton had done what he had ought
to have done, I would have had the
place when he went back to take his
oath of office. Hall has been given
all opportunity to work every conceiv
able string against me that he could
and I now believe that Fulton knew it
and has expected him to do It and has
stood In with him. You must remem
ber that unless Campbell gets this
place I am at the end of my string

"Now, my dear friend, I have not

that, I have got to go to the hospital
very soon, and I have got about as
much trouble as I can stand, and I
want you, for old friendship's sake, to
help me In this way and make Fulton
stand up to It.
With best wishes for your and Ful
ton's health and success, I remain,
Sincerely your friend,
GEO. C. BROWNELL
Mitchell and Fulton to Brownell.
Washington, Jan. 18, 1904.
Hon. George C. Brownell, Attorney
at Law, Oregon City; Or. My Dear
Senator and Friend: I have delayed
answering your letter received some
ten days ago In which you state that
you think the time has come for you
to make the race for Congress, and
you want to know whether Senator
Fulton and I can help you.
There Is no questlon.my dear friend
about our desire to help you in any
way In our power, but there are
good many things to be considered, as
it seems to both of us, looking to your
own interests, before we attempt at
this long range to Inaugurate a cam
paign. In other words, what I mean
is this: It does seem to me, as also
to Senator Fulton, after discussing
the matter fully, that If we commence
writing letters in your interest in re
gard to the Congressional nomina
tion, we are liable to do you more
harm than good. We are liable to ar
ray every other man that thinks he is
entitled to go to Congress against you,
to start on; and it certainly will array
Hermann , who is here on the ground,
and who would be sure to hear of it,
against you. It is impossible for us
to conduct a capaign of that kind from
here by letter, without it becoming
known all over the state.
You know there are quite a number
in the different sections of the state
who would like to go to Congress
Gatch, In Salem, perhaps one or two
others, probably Geer. Till Ford, Kel-
ln Albany, probably Harris or
Woodcock, or both;-in Eugene; Vaw
ter in Medford; probably Carter of
Ashland. Eddy of Tillamook, Huston
of Hlllsboro and perhaps others.
The moment it is known that Ful
ton and I, neither of whom live in this
district, are taking an active, aggres
sive part as against all these and In
your favor, is simply to array the
whole crowd against both you and us,
together with all their friends, and a
campaign will at once be commenced
by each one of them to pull you down.
Now, I will give you an idea of the
way In which you ought to proceed in
order to win the prize. Simply look
out for your own county and see that
you get a good solid delegation from
that county to the district conven
tion men that will stand by you first,
last and all the time. Do not try to
Interfere , make no special effort ex
cept as you can do so quietly, without
open antagonism to any other proba
ble candidate, to secure the votes of
delegations In counties that will have
candidate. Keep on friendly terms
Ith all the candidates, and in this
shape go to the convention, and then
will be the time, or at least Bhprtly
before then, to make combinations
that will win. You may then be able
to do it by compromises and arrange
ments with the different candidates,
or with enough of them to control the
convention.
Now, friend Brownell, you may
think, "Oh, this is a very fine way for
Mitchell and Fulton to get out of help
ing me," but I submit to you, think
over this whole business, and l am
sure your good political sense and
shrewdness will lead you to the con
clusion that this is good advice.
We may be able, when the time
comes, to help you, and to help you
materially. And I am sure it win De
Impossible to have any understanding
between you and Hermann at this
time, so as to stand by each other,
and whoever has the longest pole
takes the persimmon. It is entirely
to early to expect to be able to make
any such arrangement with Hermann.
I did write one letter in your inter
est to Mr. Goode, and also one to Sen
ator Booth, as I knew they could be
trusted to treat the matter as strictly
confidential, but I, have not written to
any others, and I tell you frankly It Is
not good policy to do so, for the rea
son that I believe the result would
iniure your cause, and this is the
opinion of Senator Vulton, and I can
assure you we are both . anxious to
discharge in some proper way the
great obligation we are both under to
you.
I have received your several dis
patches since Hall left Portland, and
since he arrived here, and both ben-
ator Fulton and myself have done ev
erything in our power to protect you
and' also Campbell, who is also under
the ban of Green and others, as we
learn to our great surprise and regret,
and without going into particulars I
think we have been able to so arrange
atters as to protect you both.
Of course, friend Brownell, this let
ter is to you in the strictest confi
dence. The best way for the present
is to drop all talk as It stands for the
present. Both Fulton and I have, In
order to fully protect your -interests,
gone very much further In a certain
lirectlon than we ever supposed we
would. I cannot explain fully to you
until I see you, just what I mean.
Hall leaves this evening for home.
My advice would be for you to say
nothing to him whatever, unless he
says something to you. Just let the
matter rest, and drift for the present.
This is all-Important.
Personally I would very much like
to see you come to Congress, but, as 1
said before, I am sure your interests
ould not be advanced in that direc
tion by anything I can do in the way
of writing letters at this particular
time. It is better for both Fulton
and I not to do anything to drive from
us men that we are under obligations
to and their friends, other than your-
lf, so that when the proper time
comes we may be able to exercise an
influence In some way for your bene
fit.
Think over this matter carefully,
and then let me know what you think
of it. Hoping that this may find you
and family in good health, believe me,
faithfully and sincerely, your friend.
