Gael To Hosoital
Rlood nnisoning havintr ensued from a 1
gunshot wound, Henry Kock, a farmer
residing near Logan, went to Portland
this week for treatment at St. Vincent's
Hospital. While cleaning a gun ten days
ago, the load was accidentally discharg
ed, tearing Kock's .left fore-finger away.
The injured man did not give the wound
proper attention and his condition is
now considered serious.
Moving the Meteor
A bond of $1000 for the protection of
Sheriff Shaver from litigation, having
been filed by the Oregon Iron & Steel
Company, Sheriff Shave began the further
removal of the company's meteorite the
first of the week. From the attitude that
has been taken by owners of property
adjoining that on which thhe meteorite
is resting, it is a safe wager that there
will be further litigation before the huge
mass is delivered in Portland.
Will Crush Rock
County Judge. Ryan has decided to pro
vide a rock pile as an agency for keeping
busy such as may be required to spend
some time at the county jail at the ex
pense of the taxpayers. This unpopular
. adjunct will be established at the court
bouse and the product of the men's work
will be used for the improvement of
Bighth street, on the South side of the
court house building. It is (expected
there will be a great scarcity of boarders
at the county jail from now on.

. With a capital stock of $10,000. the.
Eistacada Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany has filed with the County Clerk
articles of incorporation. The incorpora
tors of record are M. C. Adkins. B. O.

and R. A. Stratton. This is another of j
the rural telephone lines that is in pros
lect for Clackamas county and will serve
the people of Jbe extreme Eastern part
of the county.
An Ancient Timepiece
There is on exhibition in the furniture
store of Frank Busoh an old-fashioned
lock that is between 200 and 250 years of
age. It was made 'at a monasters" in
Vienna and has passed into the possession
of several generations of the Buseh fam

the timepiece, including the hands, are
the product of hand manufacture. It has
just been thoroughly overhauled by a local
jeweler. Mr. 'Gardner, and keeps perfect
time.
Resignation is Accepted
At a congregational meeting of the First
Baptist church, last Thursday night, the
resignation of the pastor. Rev. J. H.
Healtli of American Women
- f
A Subject Much Discussed at Women's Clubs
- The Future of a Country Depends on the
Health of Its Women.
At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women presentthathealthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping1 state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
woo are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful 01 irregular menstrua
tion, leucorrhoea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness? There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other reme
dies in the world. It regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
for thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female com
plaints. Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T:' C. Willadsen, of Manning,
la , writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
. "I can truly say that you have saved my life
and I cannot express my gratitude to you in
words. For two years 1 spent lots of money
in doctoring without any benefit for men
strual irregularities and I had given up all
hopes of ever being well again, but I was
persuaded to try Lydia C. Pinkbam's Vege
table Compound and three bottles have re
stored me to perfect health . Had it not been
for you I would have been in my grave
to-oay.

' WHAT THIS MAN SAYS
Only Re-Echoes the Sentiments of Thou
sands in our Republic?
The Oregon City reader is asked to
thoroughly investigate the following.
This can readily be done, for the gentle
man whose statement is published below
will only be too pleased to answer any
communication mailed to him if the
writer really seuffers from the annoying
consequence which always attend in
active or weakened kidneys.
A. L. Maney, gripman on the Portland
Heights cable line residing at 554 Elm
Street, Portland, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills disposed of an
acute attack of backache in a very short
time. Last fall I was operating on one of
the electric lines and it was then that I
first felt the symptoms of kidney com
plaint. At first I thought it was caused
by the constant" jarring of, the car and
perhaps it was, but I know that one box
of Doan's Kidney Pills effectually cured
me of my backache In a most radical
manner. My advice to all who suffer
from backache or kidney trouble is to
procure Doan's Kidney Pills and give j
them a fair trial." . '

gon City people. Call at C. G. Huntley's
