A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.
Mrs. Martha Pohlman
of 55 Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. J., who is a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
Bix years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. It is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:
" I am firmly persuaded,
after eight years of experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, that it
is the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use.
"Immediately after my
marriage I found that my
health began to fail me. I be
came weak and pale, with se
vere bearing-down pains, fear
ful backaches and frequent
dizzy spells. The doctors pre
scribed for me, yet I did not
improve. I would bloat after
eating and frequently become
nauseated, x naa an acrid discharge
discharge and
pains
down through my limbs so I could
hardly walk. It was as bad a case of female
trouble as I have ever known. Lydia K.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however,
cured me within four months. Since that
time I have had occasion to recommend it to
a number of patients suffering from all
forms of female difficulties, and I find that
while it is considered unprofessional to rec
ommend a patent medicine, I can honestly
recommend Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, for I have found that it cures
female ills, where all other medicine fails. It
is a grand medicine for sick women."
Money cannot buy such testimony as
this merit alone can produce such re
sults, and the ablest specialists now
agree that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound is the most univer
sally successful remedy for all female
diseases known to medicine.
When women are troubled with, ir
regular, suppressed or painful men
struation, weakness, leucorrhoea, dis
placement or ulceration of the womb,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma
tion of the ovaries, backache, bloat
ing (or flatulence), general debility, in
digestion, and nervous prostration, or
are beset with such symptoms as dizzi

moving the U.S. Land Office from Oregon
City to Portland. Mr. Curry states that
ifthe government has any specific rea
sons for the removal, they have not been
made known and he is actuated in his
efforts to prevent the execution of the
order of removal by the interest he feels
naturally in his home town. West Side
Enterprise.
More Telephone Franchises Granted
Practically every section of Clackamas
county is now served by a rural tele
phone system. Two additional petitions
for franchises for the building and opera
tion of rural telephone systems were
granted by the County Court last Fri
day. The application of the Farmers'
Telephone line of this city for a fifty
years' franchise was denied, but the right
of constructing and maintaining a tele
phone service subject to the usual re
strictions imposed by the Court was con
ceded. The other enterprise is being
managed by John F. Risley.
Will Present Case to Governor
George W. Lauth, convicted murderer
of Mrs. Leonora B. Jones and who has
been denied a new trial by the Supreme
Court, has written Grant B. Dimick. his
attorney, expressing the hope that he
may yet escape the gallows. He urges
his counsel to do everything that is pos
sible in his behalf. Lauth will be brought
to Oregon City in June when the circuit
court will again be in session and at
that time be -re-sentenced to be hanged.
His case will then be brought before
Governor Chamberlain in hopes that the
death penalty will be commuted to that
of life imprisonment.
Fish Ladder in Operation
Additional pools having been blasted
near the summit of the fishway, this con
trivance of the state's at the falls in this
city is of some aid to salmon in reaching
the upper river. The work of altering
the ladder was completed Saturday and
a great many fish were seen to easily as
cend the falls. It is considered unfortu
nate that the fish ladder was not a suc
cess from the start for thousands of
salmon either fatally bruised themselves
or, falling Into some of the numerous
stagnant pools that bordered the main
body of the river, died while vainly try
ing to ascend the then impractical course
of the fish ladder.
Babler Wanted His Money
Henry Babler, of Logan, was made de
fendant in an action to recover damages
in the sum of J90, the complaining wit
ness being Joseph Roger who alleges that
on Thursday Babler stopped him on the
public road and" forcibly took from him
the bicycle that he was riding. Babler
contends that Roger, who is a butcher,
owes him $6 which he has been unable
to collect and that he simply appropriated
the wheel in lieu of the uncollected claim.
Roger demands the return of the wheel
or $45, together with general damages
appraised at $50 for- injured feelings. As
the result of the siezure of the bicycle.
Roger was obliged to walk several miles
to his 'home.
New Lodge Formed
The Lincoln Annuity Union, of San
Francisco, Calif., organized a new Assem
bly here Saturday night, with 42 appli-
ness, faintness, lassitude, excitability,
irritability, nervousness, sleepless
ness, melancholy, "all-gone" and
"want-to-be-left-alone"' feelings, blues
and hopelessness, they should remem
ber there is one tried and true remedy.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound at once removes such troubles.
No other female medicine in the
world has received such widespread
and unqualified endorsement. No other
medicine has such a record of cures of
female troubles.
The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
to see. The money which they pay to
doctors who do not help them is an
enormous waste. The pain is cured
and the money is saved by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Ex
perience has proved this.
It is well for women who are ill to
write Mrs. Pinkham. at Lynn, Mass. i
in ner great experience, which covers
many years, she has probably had to
deal with dozens of cases just like
yours. Her advice is free and confidential.

May Be Exhibited at Court House
It is very probable that the famous
meteorite, which has been a source of
much litigation ever since its discovery
near this city two years ago, will be
brought to this city and publicly exhibit
ed. This curiosity is now in the posses
sion of Sheriff Shaver by order of the
court pendirtg a final adjustment of the
question of its ownership, the suit now
being before the State Supreme Court on
appeal. At present the meteorite Is lo
cated on the county road about five miles
from this city. The County Court has
made an order granting permission for
the meteorite to occupy a space twenty
feet square in the court house grounds in
this city. The funds necessary to trans
port the molten mass to this city will be
provided by subscriptions from business
enterprises that would profit by its pub
lic exhibition.

Eagles Observe Memorial Day
Eighty members of the Oregon City
Aerie Fraternal Order of Eagles assem
bled at their hall Sunday afternoon, and.
under escort of the members of Meade
Post, G. A. R., proceeded to Mountain
View cemetery, - where Memorial Day ex
ercises were held. Hon G. B. Dimick
was chairman of the day's exercises, Dr.
W. E. Carll being grand marshal. The
exercises at the cemetery Included a
brief address by Mayor E. A. Sommer on
The Eagles," an oration by Mr. Dimick
and appropriate remarks by Rev. P. K.
Hammond, pastor of St. Paul's Episco
pal church. Selections were sung by
the choir of St. Paul's church and Miss
Kathryn Sinnott recited "The Bivouac
of the Dead." Following the programme,
the Eagles decorated the graves of the
deceased soldiers and returned to the
city. The Oregon City" Band was in at
tendance and headed the procession to
and from the cemetery.
Insurance News-
Insurance men of the West who read
the daily columns of insurance informa
tion in the Chicago Record-Herald keep
pace with the times and are prepared for
all emergencies, and contingencies that
have grown into the insurance business.
The column "With Insurance Men," gives
in compact form all the latest doings in
the insurance world, and is conceded by
insurance men everywhere to be the best
and most up-to-date report published by
any newspaper in the United States.
The Record-Herald does not copy its in
formation from insurance journals, but
secures It first hand from managers,
agents and companies, and by telegraph
from Its own special correspondents by
telephone and in special cable dispatches
from abroad. The New Tork service of
The Record-Herald insurance department
is equaled by no other paper. In fact.
The Record-Herald is the only daily news
paper that gives insurance men the first
information daily on every important
event in the insurance business.
Amateur Baseball In Prospect
Oregon City people may expect to wit
ness this summer, in fact in the near fu
ture, some baseball exhibitions so ex
tremely amateurish as to be worth see
ing. To begin with, the Columbia Hook
& Ladder Co., becoming unduly impress
ed with their ability to play the national
game, issued a challenge for a game with
the Cataracts and the dare was accept
ed almost before the ink had dried. The
date and other details of the game will
be arranged later. Following this re
markable demonstration of unadulterated
nerve, the members of Wacheno Tribe,
Improved Order of Redmen, who seem to
consider tRemselves sufficiently civilized
to temporarily divest themselves of their
tomahawks and other implements of sav
age warfare and engage in a baseball
contest, have extended an invitation to
all-comers, the Eagles preferred, for a
match gane. The challenge has been
accepted by the Eagles who have named
Ed. Reckner captain and manager of
their organization. The date of the game
and other details will be subsequently ar
ranged.
General Summary
Thevweather during the past week was
favorable for the growth of field crops.
Good rains fell east of the Cascade Moun
tains on Tuesday and Wednesday, but
In the Western portion of the state, the
rainfall was very light and occurred at
widely scattered places, and more rain is
needed in this section. As a rule, the
weather was too cool for rapid growth,
and a few warm, sunshiny days would be
very beneficial to all vegetation. The
condition of the grain crop, both fall and
spring sown, continues excellent. Fall
wheat is turning yellow In some locali
ties, but this Is confined mostly to that
sown on low land. Oats, rye and barley
continue to head satisfactorily. Hops in
the old yards have come up unevenly,
and there are complaints of many miss
ing hills. In the new yards, where prop
erly cultivated, the condition of the crop
appears to be more promising. Reports,
however, as to the general condition of
the hop crop are conflicting, varying from
excellent to good. There is" an absence of
vermin, except possibly in a few places
along the river bottoms, where the vines
were shaded by tall timber. Gardens, po
tattoes and corn, while growing slowly.

The growth of a community and the
success of Its local institutions depends
entirely on the loyalty of its people. It
is well enough to preach "patronize home
industry" but except the service given
at a home institution equals that of out-of-town
enterprises, this argument car
ries no weight and Is entirely disregard
ed, as it should be. But with Oregon City
people it is different. A few months
ago E. L. Johnson established the Cas
cade Laundry. It is equipped with the
latest improved machinery and is daily
turning out work that is equal to any
and superior to much of the laundry
work that is being done in Portland.
Being a home institution and furnishing
employment for many Oregon City people
It is enjoying an immense patronage. 1
The high standard of the work being
done commends it to the general public.
