odist church. The harness and wagon

Seeks News of Husband.
Mrs. Charles Ziezelman, of Portland
was in this city Wednesday forenoon
In an endeavor to learn of the where
about of her husband, Charles Zlzel
man, who has been missing about six
weeks. The missing man is of Ger
man extraction, about 35 years of age,
with light hair. He was Idle in Port
land for six weeks, and went from
there to Salem in the hopes of finding
work, and he was In the latter place
about 3 weeks. Since that time Mrs.
Ziezelman has not heard from him.
Hearing from a friend that a man was
found in the Clackamas river about a
month ago, Mrs. Ziezelman came to
this city and sought Coroner Holman
in the hopes of establishing the Iden
tity of the man. The coroner knew
nothing about there being a man
found in the river, and told the woman
that her neighbor must have been mis
informed about the place where the
body was found.
Will Open Night School.
Professors W. C. McKee, superin
tendent of the Oregon City schools,
and A. K. Hill, principal of the East
ham school, are making preparations
to open a night school in this city. It
Is their intention to teach a grammar
school course, and courses in book
keeping, short hand and type writing,
but those desiring can receive Indi
vidual instruction in almost any line
of study. The school will open No
vember 16, but the exact location has
not been decided upon as yet. There
has been a crying need for an insti
tution of this kind in this city, as
many young men and women leave
Bchool In the lower grades, to work
In the mlHs and factories, and grow
ing a few years older, realize their
folly when they are too old to attend
the public schools. '
Two Attachment Suits Filed.
Two attachment suits have been
filed in the oircuit conrt this week.
O. A. Ratliff, through his attorney,
George Brownell, has commenced an
attachment suit against A. J. Ros
eiter to recover $375 still dne him for
constrnoting a residence in Oswego,
and 189.30 for extras for the same

est. A. Zj. Womack has inatituted a suit
against Frank Beck. On October 84,
Beck purchased the fixtures of the
Portland House and the lease on it
from the plaintiff agreeing to pay
$1200 for the same. So far, he has
only paid oue-half of this sum, and
through Dimick and Dimick. Wouiaok
seeks to recover the other $600.
Erickson Again in Hot Water.
It seems that the troubles of Au
gust Erickson, proprietor of the Clackamas-Health
Resort, will never cease.
It wa3 thought that ho got it "rubbed
In" ban enough when we was arrested
on charge of selling liquor without a
license, but this was followed by a
suit to recover money due for paint
ing and papering the tavern. No soon
er was this suit dismissed, than an
other was instituted, this one by C. U.
Miller, to recover $354.75, still due for
furnishing electrical supplies foi the
tavern and for repairs for the big red
auto that has been continually on the
road between this city and the tavern
He appears to have forgoten to pay
his bill with the Olympia Brewing
Company, as Miller is endeavoring to
collect $90 due them.
Why Colds Are Dangerous.
Because you have contracted ordi
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for a moment Imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chonic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con
sumption Is not causedy a coldbut
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. It is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles and. whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has a cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger lurks in a cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
remedy. The many remarkable cures
effected by this preparation have
made it a staple article of trade over
a large part of the world. For sale

city and was well received in every
Instance. His readings from the droll

he puts into the readings. The fol
lowing Monday Mr. McCalley starts

Jr., received a bad fall yesterday

The bureau of engraving and print
ing has completed designs suggested
by Postmaster-General Meyer for a
new issue of postage stamps. The
newjstamps will be of the following
denomina ions: 1, 2. 8, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10,
15 and 60 cents and $1. The $2 and
f& denominations now in use will not
be reprinted. It will be some weeks
before all the denominations will be
put on the market. However, Ihe
2-cent stamps will be first distributed,
and it is said that shipments to post
masters will commence some time in
November. The new issue has been
designed with the object of obtaining
the greatest simplicity commensurate
with artistio results. The profile has
been taRen in each instance instead of
a full view, giving a bas relief effect.
All the stamps are of a similar design,
containing a head in an ellipse, the
only decoration being laurel leaves on
each side of the ellipse. The letter
ing is in straight lines, at the top be
ing "U. 8. Postage," and at the bot
tom being the words "Two cents. "
The one-cent stamp contains the head
of Frankl:?, while all others will
bear that of Washington, taken from
busts by Houdon. One of the moBt
notable differences in the new issue
will be the minimum of lettering.
The colors are the reds and blues of
the early stamps.
