OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21 19QH 3 RUSSO-TDRKISH s WAR OUTLOOK PROBABLE THAT HOSTILITIES WILL COME THIS YEAR. NEITHER HAVE MONEY Looks Like a Windy Battle, But Great Preparations Are Being Made. The alarmist reports of the possl bllity of hostilities between Russia and Turkey, which llave permeated all strata of Kusslan society, have as sumed the proportions of a veritable war scare, to which the sensational press is devoting its biggest headlines. The situation is taken seriously, not only In military circles, but also by conservative' politicians. M. Gutch ko, leader of the majority of the Dou ina, announced his intention of raising at the next meeting of the committee of national defense the question of the nation's readiness for war. This, he believes, is of the most vital import ance, in view of the news from the Caucasus and all parts of Europe. He also purposes to Interpellate the Min ister of Communications on the ability of the railroads, particularly In the Caucasus and Trans-Caucasia, to trans port troops v quickly to the southern and southwestern frontiers. Reports have been received from Armenia that all the Turkish army reserve forces in Van, Mush and other vilayets of Asia Minor, have been called to the colors and are departing rapidly for the frontier. At the same time a league of the Turkish Revolu tionary' party is increasing the revo lutionary agitation. Appeals and proclamations are be ing Issued exhorting the population to protest in every way possible against the warlike plans of the Sul (. The league holds flint var would be especially disastrous at this time, as there is a famine ia Asia Minor. At Tifllc the apprehension of hos tilities has not abated. The Russian military authorities havo ordered that all horses in the Caucasus available for military purposes be registered. The doctors of Tlflis held a meeting recently and volunteered their ser vices in case of war. The concentration of Turkish le serves on the Persian und Russian frontiers In Asia Minor, is ai out come of the border difficulty with Per sia. Recently Turkish troops crossed the Persian frontier in the '.leinlty of Urumiah and committed depredations. To this Russia, under her treaty ob ligations to Persia, objected and began the concentration of a strong force on the frontier of the Caucasus. This show of military activity was thought to have been sufficient to put a stop to the Turkish aggression, and the Russian movement was said to 'iave been discontinued. If the reports from Armenia are true, the difficulty in Asia Minor, which is closely connected with the railroad aspirations of the powers in the Balkans, may assme serious im port. NOT INCOMPETENT SAYS JUDGE DIMICK. Refuses to Appoint Guardian Over C. F. Vonderahe Danger Lurks In Pol icy of Relatives If the Aged Wish to Give, It's Their Privilege. A case that has attracted much at tention lately was given a decision by Judge Dimick, in which he scores the policy of relatives whenever they so desire to have guardians appointed over their aged parents, and denies such petiton in the case of C. F. Von derahe,but granted the appointment of a guardian over the estate. A son of the elderly gentleman, C. V. Vonderahe, tried to obtain an in junction restraining Mrs. Trullinger from associating with his father and alleged that she had used the cup of deception, all spiced and tempered to her liking, with telling effect, until the purported fortune of some twenty five thousand was almost within her reach. This Injunction was denied, and the application for the appoint ment of Frank Jaggar as guardian of the estate of Mr. Vonderahe was filed. Judge Dimick defines his authority In the decision in the following terms: The jurisdiction of the County Court in making an order for the appoint ment of a guardian of the person de pends upon the question of whether the subject is jnsane, and as to what constitutes an insane person. The evidence before the court must justify the appointment of the guardian asked for, and the petition of C. W. Vonder ahe fails to state that C. F. Vonder ahe Is incapable of caring for himself. It appears that the subject of this pro ceeding is somewhat afflicted with se nility, which is necessarily incident to old age, but not to such a degree as to lender him incompetent to transact ordinary business or to properly care for himself. Drs. Carll and Hewitt, alter an examination, reported to-the court that Vonderahe was not Insane, but, on the other, hand, was far more intelligent and capable of conducting bis own business and caring for him self than the majority of persons of his age. The true condition of Mr. Vonderahe's mental faculties and his capacity for transacting business was evidently recognized by the petltoner, as a few weeks prior to the beginning of the hearing Mr. Vonderahe appoint ed a new financial agent and execut ed instruments transferring large amounts of property to a trustee, which they would not have permitted him to do had they not known that he was mentally responsible and legally capable of doing so. "It is the policy of all courts to pro tect the property interests of all citi zens when they are Incapable of pro tecting their interests themselves, but it Is a dangerous policy to allow rela tives, whenever they so desire, to have guardians appointed over their parents for the sole purpose of prohib iting them from disposing of their es- Electric Hotel And Restaurant Meals at all Hours Rooms 25 Cts. Up Family Trade Solicited JOHN J. TOBIN, Proprietor tates, by real gift or otherwise. "In this case, Mr. Vonderahe has a large estate, that he feels he is able to handle himself, and has asked the court to appoint a guardian for that purpose, and under all the 'circum stances I am inclined to believe that justice would be better subserved If a good, competent guardian were ap pointed to look after and care for hla estate, and thus relieve him of that care. "There is no necessity for the ap pointment of a guardian over his per son, for the reason that he is not in sane, nor would his condition come under any of the definitions of the kinds of insanity defined by section 5290 of the Code."

"A Royal Slave," which comes to Shlvely's opera house for one night, Friday, February 28, only, is to be one of the real events of the theatrical season In this city.

The author has chosen for the action of the piece the most romantic period in the history of Mexico, the brief reign of the unfortunate Maximilian. The specialties introduced by the comedy element are strictly in keeping with the atmosphere of the surround ings, and the bit of sword-play in tho duel scene, is as pretty an exhibition as one could witness.

TENTITAND MAIN STREETS ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS MIX IT AT HOME BY SHAKING IN GREDIENTS IN BOTTLE. A HOME MADE REMEDY Hundreds of People In Vicinity Here Will Welcome This Advice, Says Local Drugist. What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York dally paper, giving a simple prescription, as formulated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found a posltve remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder derangement, in the following simple prescription, if taken before the stage of Brlght's dis ease; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take In teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this pre scription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescrip tion pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflic tions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and uri nary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most impor tant organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul ac ids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those of our readers who suffer can make no mis take in giving It a trial.
