Take Advantage of Rebate
In the collection of taxes on the 1904
roll, Sheriff Shaver is experiencing quite
a rush. To date there have been issued
about 1200 receipts, but the aggregate
of taxes paid is large, representing many
of the heaviest taxpayers of the county
who are liquidating now in order to get
advantage of the 3 per cent rebate that
is allowed. Property owners paying their
taxes between now and March 15th will
secure the benefit of this rebate.
Ran Away From Home
Sheriff Shaver and the local police of
ficers were on the look-out the latter
part of last week for two run-away lads
who deserted their Portland homes. No
Woman 's Kidney Troubles
Lydia E. PinKham's Vegetable Compound is Espe
cially Successful in Curing Tnis Fatal
Disease!
jy and .
Of all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave exhaust
ive study to the subject, and in pro
ducing" her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herts which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound is the only one espe
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
derangements by it. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; un
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet,
, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the. woman's remedy for wo
man's ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.

trace of the boys, who are aged 9 and
14 years, could be found here although
the runaways mailed in this city a letter
to their parents informing them of the
fact that they had abandoned their

not learned, but the 14-year old boy,
before leaving his home, stole $50.
Says Husband Was Excessive Drinkei
Olive C. Packwood has begun a suit
for divorce from Wm. H. Packwood, the
attorney for the plaintiff being Henry
St. Rayner. The parties were married
at Baker City in 1894 and the plaintiff
complains that nine months following the
marriage the defendant began and con
tinued the excesive indulgence in liquor
to the sacrifice of her own comfort and
happiness. For this reason the plain
tiff asks to be divorced and that she be
awarded the custody of two minor child
ren, aged nine and six years respectively.
Death of Mrs. -Laura Doll

Will Bowl Tenpins
In the organization of three tenpin
teams of five members each, there has
been arranged a tournament among local
bowlers that will be continued for sev
eral weeks. The three teams and the

teams from other cities. From two to
three games will be bowued each week.
Wind Plays Havoc 1
Dr. J. W. Thomas, of Molalla, who was
in the city Friday, reports that last
Thursday afternoon, during the severe
wind storm that visited this section, a
Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect
Plains, N. J., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me. When I first wrote to you I had suf
fered for years with what the doctor called
kidnev trouble and congestion of the womb.
My back ached dreadfully all the time, and I
suffered so with that bearing-down feeling I
could hardly walk across the room. I did not j
get any better, so decided to stop doctoring
with my physician and take Lydia E. Pink- j
ham's Vegetable Compound and I am thank- H
f ul to say it has entirely cured me. I do all
my own work, have no more backache and !
all the bad symptoms have disappeared.
I cannot praise your medicine enough, and
would advise all women suffering with kidney
trouble to try it !
Mrs. J. W. Lang, of 626 Third Ae-
nue, New York, writes : j
Dear Mrs. Pinkham: j
I have been a great sufferer with kidney
trouble. My back ached all the time and I
was discouraged. I heard that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound would enre ,
kidney disease, and I began to take it; and it j
has cured me when everything else had failed.
I have recommended it to lots of people and
they all praise it very highly. j
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing In- j
vitation. ;
Women ' suffering from kidney
trouble, or any form of female weak
ness are invited to promptly communi
cate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. Out of the great volume of ex
perience which she has to draw from,
it is more than likely she has the very
knowledge that will help your case.

large limb was torn from a tree standing
alongside the Dickie Prairie school house
and, crushing through the roof of the
building while school was in session,
buried itself in the floor of the building
without harming a single occupant of
the room. It is considered miraculous
that no one was injured as the pupils
were seated about the- room at their
desks. Since the accident the injury to
the building has been repaired and the
trees surrounding the building have been
cut down as a means of preventing a re
curring of the fortunate mishap.
Death of John Ritter
John Ritter, another of the early set-
tiers of this section, died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. W. S. Hurst of Hub
bard, Wednesday, aged some over 82
years. He came to Oregon with one of
the early trains of Dr. Keil's colony in
'55, and later bought .a place east of
Needy, where he made his home. His
wife died several years ago and since
then Mr. Ritter lived alone until he went
to live with his daughter. The funeral
was Friday and was well attended. In
terment was at the Aurora cemetery.

Sudden Change In Weather
The sudden change of the weather
last week produced an unusual condi
tion in the rails on the Oregon Water
Power & Railway Company's line be
tween Oregon City and Portland. So
sudden and marked was the change
from the semi-frigid weather for this
locality of the first of the week to the
summer-like conditions of Friday and
Saturday, that the heavy steel rails on
the company's track at Risley's station
warped so badly as to interfere with the
traffic of the cars and require the atten
tion of a large force of workmen before
the cars could be operated on schedule.
Such a state of affairs was never before
experienced by the company even in the
most tropical summer weather and is
explained only by the sudden change in
atmospheric conditions.
An Animal Freak
When in Uortland one day this week,
Newton Farr and Dee Wright observed
at the stock yards a three-horned steer
but they were unsuccessful in negotiat
ing for its purchase. They were very
desirous of buying the animal that its
head might be mounted and added to
their collection of animal freaks that will
be exhibited 'at the Lewis & Clark Fair.
But the steer was included in the sale
of a car load lot by a Wallowa cattleman
to a dealer at Seattle and the Oregon
City men were unable to make the pur
chase at any price. The animal had
two natural horns properly placed, the
third projection being situated along
side the horn on the right side of the
animal's head. It was about ten inches
long but was not attached to or a part
of the skull and had the appearance of
being supported merely by the animal's
skin. Oregonian.
Trouble In Ross Family
Ethel Ross, of Portland has filed suit
for divorce from Charles Ross to whom
she was married at Portland, October 1,
1904. In her complaint, the plaintiff al
leges that within a few .days following
the marriage, the defendant at their
home at Portland and in the presence of
her sister, Mabel Dove, called her vile
and obejctionable names, attempted to
choke hei and accused her of having
committed adultery with a number of
men. She also alleges that during last
January, the defendant while living at
Los Angeles, wrote to her at Portland,
stating that he was living with a pros
titute who supported him. In addition
to all this unusual treatment, Mrs. Ross
charges her husband with having aban
doned her last November, leaving her
destitute and absolutely no funds with
which to support herself.

members of the county court made a
circuit of the county on a road and

BURMEISTER & ANDRESEN
The Oregon City Jewelers
Ing up for consideration at the March
meeting a number of improvements that
have been petitioned for. Among those
asked for was the building by the county
of a bridge across the Clackamas river
near Barton in order to permit of the
establishing of 'a road between that
point and Logan. It is improbable that
this structure will be ordered by the
court which, after visiting the ground,
estimates that it will cost the county at
least $14,000 to make this improvement
which will require the building of a 300
foot span, together with an approach of
at least 600 feet in addition to making a
trestle over an irregular stretch. Be
cause of the great expense that the
building of the bridge would be to the
county, it is not likely that the struc
ture will be ordered for the present by
the court, which will, however, probably
grant the petition for the road.
Death at Gladstone
F. A. Schmidt, who died at . his home
at Gladstone at 11:30 a. m. last Saturday,
February 25, 1905, was aged 65 years, 1
month and 24 days. The deceased was a
native of Germany where he was born in
1840. emigrating to America and locating
in Wisconsin in 1868. .He afterwards re
moved to Minnesota coming thence to
Oregon in 1877. After residing for a
short time at Corvallis and Dayton, lam
hill county, he came to Clackamas coun
ty and located on a farm a short distance
south of Oregon City, where he lived
for twenty years, removing to Gladstone
only a few years ago. He is survived
by three sons and two daughters, a wife
and two sons having preceeded him. The
surviving children are: C. W. and Ed
ward Schmidt, of Spokane, Washington;
Louis Schmidt, of Portland; Anna T.
and Edith Schmidt, of Gladstone. Fu
neral services were held at the late
home at Gladstone at 2 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, Rev. W- H. Wettlaufer. pastor
of the Evangelical church, officiating.
Interment was had at Mountain View
cemetery.
Robbed His Benefactor
" Constable Trembath went to Portland
last Wednesday in hopes of locating a
cold-blooded thief who Wednesday morn
ing robbed the man who had befriended
him by giving him employment. The
man sustaining the loss is C. W. Higgins,
a teamster in the employ of Cummings
j saw mill near Clarkes. Coming to Ore
' gon City Tuesday, Mr. Higgins arranged
j with a man named John Burke, to ac
company him' to his farm near the saw
..mill and to work for him. Together they
j returned, Tuesday night to the teamster's
: home.,. In the morning Mr. Higgins left
j his assistant at his house to attend to
some chores, while he went to the saw
mill where he was employed. Return
ing that night he was surprised not to
find any trace of the man about the
premises, but onentering the house, he
discovered that his trunk had been brok
en open and about $150 worth of ejwelry
and other trinkets had been stolen. He
came to Oregon City and reported the
matter to the police, but no trace has
been found of the thief who is a stranger.
Did Not Like the Job
Working in the city street cleaning
department and this' glorious weather
was too much for Jim Morgan who was
serving a twenty days sentence in the
city jail for begging. Morgan had served
seven days and during that time in keep
ing with the policy of the city adminis
tration, he, together with the other city
prisoners, has been compelled to work on
the streets. Friday afternoon Morgan
managed to become separated some little
distance from his associates and the
officer in charge of the work and when
the opportunity was offered, he took to
his heels and ran. Other than being
pursued for a considerable distance by
a dog, no effort was made to capture
the fellow of whom the city was well
rid for he had proved one of the most
disagreeable men with whom the city
authorities ever had to deal. - One night
he attempted to break the lock in the
city jail and in that way effect his es
cape. He frequently boasted of his de
light in begging and estimated finding
greater satisfaction in managing to exist
in that way rather, than by earning an
honest living. Oregon City item in Fri

An Old Pioneer
William Elliott, who died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. J., T. Apperson, at
Parkplace, Monday, was one of the old
est and best-known pioneers of Clacka
mas county. He was one of the first
members of the Oregon State Agricul
tural Society and was an officer of that
body and a conspicuous worker in and
attendant upon State Fairs for a third of
century. He was also .a member of
the Oregon Pioneer Association, and un
til the infirmities of age prevented, at
tended regularly the annual meetings of
that body. He was born in Knox Coun
ty, Indiana, September 14, 1815. In 1836
he was volunteer in the Florida War.
He was married in 1838 to Miss Nancy
Sconce, who died in January, 1888. He
crossed the plains in 1846 and settled in
Clackamas County, the part now known
as Elliott's Prairie, being named in his
honor. In 1872, he sold his farm and
moved to Canemah, where he lived un
til the death of his wife. Since then he
has lived with his eldest daughter, Mrs.
J. T. Apperson, of Parkplace, where he
rested quietly from his labors until his
death. He will be remembered as on
of those sturdy, honest men who mad
Oregon. He left the following children:
Mrs. J. T. Apperson, of Parkplace; John
W. Elliott, of Clackamas County; Mrs.
J. A. White, and Mrs. I. B. Sanborn, of
Portland, and three grandchildren ana
two great-grandchildren. Funeral serv
ices were conducted at the First Baptist
church by Rev. Fred Peacock, of Port
land, at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Summary of Legjslatur
Promptly at 6 o'clock last evening,
barely within the time limit allowed
him by the constitution. Governor Cham
berlain disposed of the last of the large
grist of bills which had been piled upon
his desk by the Legislature for his con
sideration and approval. Unfortunately
for those who had based their hopes
upon the passage of this bill which was
the last to receive the consideration of
the Chief Executive, the latter discov
ered a "nigger in the woodpile," as it
were, and felt impelled to assist it into
purgatory, which t he" proceeded to do,
and did. This was the bill introduced
by Kuykendall, the title of which was to
define fraternal and beneficiary insurance
associations. When the debris had been
cleared away after the battle and the
Governor had a chance to view his sur
roundings it was found that the field was
strewn with twenty dead and no wound
ed. This number (20) gives the Govern
or the record for vetoes; the previous
one, which was his own, was fourteen,
made at the last session. To summarize
the result of the labors of the Legisla
ture, and the deep ponderings of the
Executive. Out of 650 bills introduced!
at the last session, 307 will become laws
in due course of time (if they do not
fall victims to the will of the people un
der the referendum clause of the con
stitution,) while' twenty .will never see
another light of day, at least until the
next, meeting of the Legislature. Of
the total number which succeeded in
running the gauntlet of the Governor's
veto pen, 166 were House bills, 146 filed?
with, and twenty without his approval,
and 141 were Senate bills, of which 106
were filed ' with and 35 without his ap
proval. Of the vetoed bills, eight first
saw the light of day in the House and
twelve in the Senate. Salem Statesman,
February 24.
