A HEALTHY OLD AGE
OFTEN THE BEST PART OF LIFE
Help for Women Passing Through
Change of Life
Providence has allotted us each at
least seventy years in which, to fulfill
onr mission in life, and it is g-eneralljr
our own fault if we die prematurely.
Ij MrjMaryKoehne )j
Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot valk a few blocks with
out excessive fatigne, and you break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face flushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in anything-,
you are in dangler ; your nerves
have given out ; you need building1 up
at once ! To build up woman's nerr-
ious system and during1 the period of
ichang-e of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia Jfi. Fmkham s
Vegetable Compound. Here is an
illustration. Mrs. Mary Li. Koehne, 371
Garfield Avenue, Chicago, 111., writes:
"I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for years in my family and it
never disappoints ; so when I felt that I was
nearing'the 'change of life I commenced treat
ment with it I took hi all about six bottlfes
and it did me a great deal of good. It
stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back
and the headaches with which I had suffered
for months before taking the Compound. I
feel that if it had not been for this great med
icine for women that I should not have been
alive to-day. It is splendid for women, Sid or
young, and will surely cure all female disor
ders.'' -"Mrs.
Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., in
vites all sick and ailing women to write
her for advice. Her great experience
is at their service, free of cost.
OP THE WEEK' DOINGS.
city's ordinances, it is required that be
fore the council can order the improve
ment of any street there must be pre
sented a petition bearing the signatures
of a majority of- the resident property
owners along the line of the Improve
ment that is asked. The petition that
was presented before the Council upon
investigation does not contain the re
quired representation of resident prop
erty owners. It was proposed to 1m
prove Fourth street from High to Mon
roe streets in the same manner as was
Center street placed in its present ser
viceable condition.
Work is Again Abandoned
Another delay has been experienced
tby the Oregon Iron & Steel Company in
accomplishing the removal ' the troub
lesome "meteorite- from near this city.
Attorneys for R. Koerner and Fred Mey
ers, the most recent claimants lof the
mass, have served notice of an intention!
to appeal the case to the Supreme court; I
the jury in the circuit court finding for
the defendant company. Accordingly
the original order issued to Sheriff Shaver
by Circuit Judge McBride has been
modified to the extent that the Sheriff
is ordered to retain possession of the
meteorite after it has been moved onto
ti ronntv- rnarl and not to allow it to
t hp further disturbed until other instruc
tions are received from the court.

cuit court, the plaintiff being the Bor
ing Junction Lumber Company and the
defendants are J. W. Roots, Mary Mar
. kell, John Simpson, L. L. May and Mrs.
L. L. May. A short time ago Roots
brought an action against .the lumber
company to recover about $200 that he
alleged belonged to him, being repre
sented by several orders on the company
that had been transferred to him. In its
defense, the company in the action filed
to day sets forth that there exists a
dispute among thhe five defendants as

MAKES WORK EASIER.
Oregon City People Are Pleased to Learn
How it is Done.
It's pretty hard to attend to duties
With a constantly aching back,
With annoying urinary disorders.
' Doan's Kidney Pills make work easier.
They cure every kidney ill.
Mrs. C. Richards, wife of C. Richards,
Portland, painter, and living at 671
Market street, says: "Mr. Richards val
ues Doan's Kidney Pills very highly.
He has had attacks of kidney trouble
for years. He is a painter by trade and
there is no doubt that the turpentine has
more or less effect ftn his- kidneys, as I
believe most painters are more or less
afflicted with kidney troubles. Last fall
he had an acute attack and when Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to our notice
and I got him a box. They so regulated
his kidneys that relief came in a re
markably short time. I have often heard
him express his appreciation of this re
liable remedy."
Plenty more proof like this from Ore
gon City people. Call at C. G. Huntley's
drug-store and ask him what his custom
ers report.

SESSION AT AN END.
ance for- all water legally appropriated,
what quantity remains subject to ap
propriation by others. ,
The Klamath Lake grant to the United
States Government was passed, whereby
the state cedes to the Government any
lake beds it may uncover by lowering the
water in lakes in Klamath County. This
concession to the Government is expected
to exert a material influence in inducing
the Government to undertake an exten
sive reclamation , project by which 300,
000 acres of arid or swamp land will
eventually be made richly productive and
capable of maintaining 25,000 inhabitants.
The Malheur irrigation district was
created, composed of all the territory em
braced in the tract to be reclaimed by
the Government in the vicinity of Vale,
Malheur county. The act gives the property-owners
of the district power to is
sue bonds in the sum of $300,000 for the
purpose of raising money with which to
purchase private water rights which
stand iri the way of the Government pro
ject. The purchase of these rights Is
to- be computed as an item in the total
cost of the Government's irrigation sys
tern. Bonds cannot be issued until voted
by the tax payers of the district.
Improvement of Public Morals.
Several measures were passed for the
promotion of good morals, among them"
being an act to make it unlawful to per
mit a female under 21 years of age to be
in any ..place where liquors are sold or
served; an act to punish persons having
illicit relations with females under 18
years of age; an act to pay $7 per month
for ' the maintenance of each wayward
girl cared for at an institution conducted
for the reclamation of such girls; and act
to punish parents or guardians who neg
lect to exercise proper control over their
children; an act to create juvenile courts
in cities of 50,000 inhabitants; an act to
prohibit the giving of licenses or privi
leges to conduct gambling; an act to pre
vent the corrupt use of money at elec
tions; an act to increase the penalty for
keeping houses of ill-fame.
Appropriated Two Millions.
The total appropriations of the Legis
lature aggregate something over $2,000,
000, of which $500,000 is for the State
Insane Asylum. Increased appropriations
were made for almost every institution.
Appropriations were made for the main
tenance of four normal schools, but
nothing was allowed for new buildings
at these institutions. An initial ' appro
priation of $15,000 was made for the pur
chase of land for a home for the feeble
minded the buildings to be provided for
by the next Legislature. Increased ap
propriations were made for the State
University and Agricultural College.

A fiat-salary law was enacted, faking
