ITS MERIT IS PROVED
RECORD OF A GREAT HEDICIXE
A Prominent Cincinnati Woman Telia
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Completely Cured Her.
The great g-ood Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is doing- among
the women of America is attracting
the attention of many of our leading
scientists, and thinking people gener
ally. The following letter is only one of
many thousands which are on file in
the Pinkham office, and go to prove
beyond question that Lydia K. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound must be a
remedy of great merit, otherwise it
could not produce such marvelous re
sults among sick and ailing women.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
" About nine months ago I was a great suf
ferer with womb trouble, which caused me
severe pain extreme nervousness and fre
quent headaches, from which the doctor
failed to relieve me. I tried Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and within a
short time felt better, and after taking five
bottles of it I was entirely cured . I therefore
heartily recommend your Compound as a
splendid uterine tonic. It makes the monthly
periods regular and without pain ; and what
a blessing it is to find such a remedy after so
many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased
to recommend it to all suffering women."
Mrs. Sara Wilson, 31 East 3d Street, Cincin
nati, Ohio.
If you have suppressed or painful
menstruation, weakness of the stom
ach, indigestion, bloating, leucorrhoea,
flooding, nervous prostration, dizzi
ness, faintness, "don't-care" and
" want-to-be-left-alone " feeling, ex
citability, backache or the blues, these
are sure indications of female weak
ness, some derangement of the uterus
or ovarian trouble. In such cases there
is one tried and true remedy Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

OP THE WEEK'S DOINOS.
tate circles at Oregon City and real es-
tate men are being besieged with in
quiries from intending settlers from the
East.

Clackamas, was performed by Rev. G
W. Moore, of Clackamas, at the home of

Baptists Call Pastor
Rev. Henry B. Robbins, of Rochester,
New York, has been called to the. pas
torate of the First Baptist church of
this city to succeed Rev. J. H. Beaven,
who has resigned to accept charge of
the Walla Walla Church. The choice
of the pulpit committee that was ap
pointed to supply the vacancy caused
by Rev. Beaven' s resignation has been
(ratified by the congregation and the
pastor-elect has been notified of his elec
tion. Rev. Robbins is 31 years of age,
unmarried, and was highly recommended
to the Oregon City congregation.
Husband Wanted Wife to Obey Him
Because her husband flew into a rage
and declared that so long as she was his
wife she would do just as he said, is
one of the many reasons for divorce as
signed by Ida B. Meleen, who has brought
suit against N. F. Meleen, to whom she
was married in Portland in 1902. The
plaintiff also charges that a few weeks
ago she entrusted to the defendant the
care of $40, with the understanding that
it was to be placed In his safe, but she
avers that the money has never been
returned to her. She also asks to re
sume her maiden name, which was Iva.
B. Stranahan.
Wanted Guardian Appointed
There was had a hearing in the Pro
bate Court last Saturday of the petition
of the relatives of G. J. Trullinger, an
octogenarian of Union Mills, this county,
for the appointment of a guardian. The
petition, which recited that Mr. Trul
linger is of impaired physical and mental
capacities, was resisted by Mr. Trul
linger and his wife, who were represent
ed by C. D. Latourette. G. E. Hayes
appeared in a. legal capacity for the pe
titioners who offered testimony in sup
port of their contentions as recited in
their petition. After hearing all of the
testimony in -the case, which appears to
be a wrangle for the possession of Trul
linger's property, by his heirs, the sub
ject was taken under advisement by
Judge Ryan.
Opposes Vacation of Property
E. E. Elliott, of Eagle Creek, has filed
remonstrance against the vacating of
certain streets, blocks and alleys in the
Eagle Creek Townsite Company as pe
titioned by E. N. and Elsie J. Foster.
Elliott represents in his remonstrance
that he invested in property, purchas
ing from the Eagle Creek Townsite Com
pany, paying $500 each for a number of
lots upon which he has made improve
ments representing an exjenditure irt
the aggregate of $4500. This investment,
Elliott contends, he made on the assur
ance of the Company that the tract of
land would be converted into a town
site and disposed of as such in the
market. At another term of the county
court a few weeks ago a similar peti
tion on the part of the Fosters was de-
nit d on the strength of a remonstrance
by Elliott, similar in its representations
to the one filed this week.
Extending Its Lines
There -has been with tVi. nnnntv
clerk a petition by H. W. Goode, presi-
di nt of the Portland General Electric
Company, asking that the county court
giant petitioners the right to erect and
maintain along the county roads be
tween Oregon City and Aurora, poles
and wires for the transmission of elec-
r'.eity. The right is asked of the county
court in order that the company may
xtend its service in the valley to Salem
has been announced will be done in
the near future. The route over which
poles will be erected will be the
most, practicable and is outlined in the
petition as follows: From Oregon City
New Era by way of the river road;
om New Era via New Era Hill Road
to its intersection- with the' main road
fo'.lowing the Southern Pacific Company's
:ack to the town of Canby, thence by
th
most direct county road to Barlow
nd thence to Aurora.
Fearless and Independent
The Chicago Record-Herald is a con
spicuous example of the success with
hich the public rewards fearless non-
partisanship in the columns of a great
metropolitan daily paper. It is an in
dependent newspaper, in which men and
measures are invariably viewed wholly
from the standpoint of the public good,
and not from that of the interests of
any particular political party. It is the
very reverse of neutral fearless and out
spoken on all the great questions of the
day, but presenting its editorial opinion
upon independent judgment and entirely
regardless of political affiliations. Par
tisanship' is barred as strictly from the
news columns as from the editorial page.
All political news is given without parti
san coloring, thus enabling the reader to
form correct conclusions for himself. In
the ordinary partisan newspaper politi
cal news is usually colored to such an
extent as to make it difficult if not im
possible for the reader to secure a 'sound
basis for intelligent judgment.
Another Damage Suit
Lucy A. Cubbage has brought suit
against Michael Keisecker to recover
damages in the sum of $500. The plain
tiff charges the defendant with being
responsible for thev burning of her home,
outbuildings and growing crops last sum
mer by setting out a fire and neglecting
to properly guard it with the result that
it spread to her premises and destroyed
ail.' The parties to the suit reside in the
foot-hills near Garfield . and their lands
are situated close together. Dimick &
Dimick appear as attorneys for the plain
tiff who itemizes her losses as follows:
Dwelling and furniture, $300; barn, $100;
dry house. $20; one-half acre growing
garden, $20; rails and fencing, $60; A
similar suit, in which Mrs. Cooper was
the plaintiff, was also filed against
Keisecker several days ago, but in that
case - defendant's attorneys, tTRen &
Schuebel, filed a demurrer to the com
plaint alleging an insufficiency of facts
to constitute a cause of action. The
second complaint will be demurred to in
the same manner.
She'll Not Be Back 'Till September
One of the members of the Oregon
City Bowling, team jthat went to Astoria
last Saturday evening, is acquainted
with a charming and accomplished young
woman whose home Is in the city by the
sea. He considered that quite the thing
for him to do while in the city would be
to telephone the young lady and let her.
know that he was m town. Accordingly
he went to the telephone, secured the
proper number and in response to his
"Helloa," recognized the voice of the
young lady's mother. Not the least bit
perturbed, ,the Oregon City bowler In
quired: "Is Miss in?" "No', she
is not at home, just now" was the re
ply from the other end of the line. But
the inquiring lad was persistent and fol
lowed his first question and its answer
with the query: "Can you tell me when
Miss will be in?" For once in his
life the Oregon City man was almost
ready to take the count when the mother
replied; "I do not expect her before next
September." This terminated the con
versation over the telephone, but by in
quiry before leaving the city the youth,
who for perhaps the first time in his
life experienced any embarassmenf,'
learned that the young lady is absent
from home pursuing her musical stud
ies. NOW FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.

THE COW THAT GAVE BITTER MILK
AND WHAT I DID TO HER.
Salem, Or., March 2. Editor Pacific
Homestead: I have a full -blood Jersey
cow (Tony), 11 years old this Spring.
About the 1st of May, 1903, she had a
calf and soon after we noticed there
was something wrong with the milk.
We were milking three cows so did not
know which cow was affected, and in
fact, we thought that there was some
thing about the feed that was the
trouble. The cows were in good past
ure, but the milk kept getting worse
and by the Winter it was just impossi
ble to churn the cream, into butter. We
milked; the cows and tested the milk
of each and at once found the cow that
gave the bitter milk. We did not care
to use the milk and I dried her off.
She went dry some four months and
had a calf the first week in June, 1904,
another, cow had a calf the same day,
so I let old Tony take both calves and
raise them. When three months old I
vealed the larger of the two, it dressed
150 pounds. Then the other calf took all
the milk until it was 7 months old when
I beefed it and it dressed 300 pounds.
Just at that time one of the cows had a
calf and I set Tony feeding it. The milk
is all right now but. I shall keep her rais
ing calves for veal. Since the 1st of last
June she has made 450 pounds of meat
for us and the calf she is now raising
is 2 months old and is in fine shape;
shall let her feed it till in June when I
will let her take another one to raise.
The only thing I did for or to her was
to let her go dry for some four months.

A MAN'S IDEAL.
My ideal is a lady who is beautiful and
young, -
Who is gently bred and graceful andi
who sweetly curbs her tongue,
Who is cultured and artistic, who has
humor, who has style.
One who never keeps me waiting, one
who meets me with a smile.
Who has noble aspirations, who from
vanity is free.
And who never flirts with others for the
sake of spiting me.
My ideal is a lady who has purity of,
heart,
Who is satisfied to merely play a lovely
woman's part,
One who cares not to be manish, who is
not a foolish prude.
Who possesses a fine figure and whose
cheeks are rosy-hued.
Who is ready to go with me anywhere
I choose to go, ,
Who believes that I'm a wonder and who
sweetly tells me so.
My ideal is a lady who is not inclined to
find
Only faults in other women; she has'
nobleness of mind;
She is cheerful, she is hopeful, there is
music in her voice.
When good fortune comes to others she
is ready to rejoice;
She believes that if my talents were ac
cepted at their worth 1
I could take my place tomorrow with the
greatest men on earth.
I never meet the lady, the sweet lady
of my dreams,-
I may never lead her gladly by the banks
of winding streams, "
I may never gather posies in the dells
with here below,
That perfection is not often to be met
with her; I know
Therefore, sweet one, shrink not from me
find a haven in my arms;
Tou are beautiful, and (freely will I
. waive the other charms.
