Saturday and contributed to the suc
cess of "Portland Day" at the Fair.
The day being a legal holiday, many
of the public offices were closed, the
holding of a special franchise election
being the only event to divest the day
of a Sunday appearance. The total
attendance at the Fair Saturday was
more than 85,000, the record day at
the Exposition.
Additional Teacher Employed
Miss Estella Niles has been engag
ed to teach in thhe sixth and seventh
grades of the Oregon City Schools.
She began work Tuesday, relieving
the congested condition of the room
in charge of Miss Goodfellow, who,
until the additional teacher was em

enth grades. Miss Niles is a teacher
of experience and ability and taught
five years at Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Last year she taught at Milwaukie.

TCfltinp- and S fiardfl. Tn a rtintnri
drawing contest, Dr. Sommer was ad- I
judged the winner and Miss Aimee

criptive character sketch contest. A
lunch was served.
Work of Milwaukie Council
The city council of the town of
Milwaukie at a regular meeting Mon
day night granted a franchise to the
Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph
company, giving it the right to use
the streets of that town for its wires
and poles. It passed an ordinance
authorizing the purchase of a quarter
of a block of land on which to erect
a city hall. This insures that the new
city hall will be built at once. An
ordinance was also passed regulating
animals running at large.
Clackamas Gets Honorable Mention
Honorable mention for exhibit of
minerals was awarded Monday at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition to Clack
amas County. Little effort was made
to display the mineral wealth of this
county, aside from the exhibit of the
Ogle Mountain Mining' Company in
the Mining building, and an honorable
mention is very gratifying. Clacka
mas County has also been awarded
a prize for its float in the agricultural
parade last Friday night at the Expo
sition. The float was tastefully ar
ranged of grains, fruits, grasses and
vegetables.
Hetman Paid a Fine
Otto Hetman, a German farmer re
siding at Sunnyside, paid a fine of
$12 in the justice court Thursday for
cruelty to animals. Hetman is the
man who recently shot the eyes out
of a dog which he afterwards nearly
clubbed to death. Unknown mis
creants in the residence district of
this city have assumed the role of
dog poisoner with some success, sev
eral valuable dogs having been pros
trated during the last few days. Citi
zens, aided by the police officers, are
striving to apprehend the guilty par
ties of whom a lesson will be made,
in event of their detection.

A devoted mother seems to listen to
every call of duty excepting the su
preme one that tells her to guard her
health, and before she realizes it some
derangement of the female organs has
manifested itself, and nervousness and
irritability take the place of happi
ness and amiability.

A stranger, claiming to be of Fres
no, California, and giving name of
Charles Cornelius Tennessee Goforth,
aged 65 years, was taken into custo
dy by "the police authorities Tuesday
after creating considerable excite
ment in the streets. Goforth first ap
plied to the Sheriff for protection from
an imaginary enemy and later sought
aid from the municipal authorities.
The man's condition is due to an over
indulgence in intoxicants and his men
tal faculties are seriously disturbed.
After being placed in the city jail, he
removed all of his clothing which he
deliberately burned. Goforth claims
to have driven a stage from Fresno
for a great many years and says that
a brother, J. N. Goforth, resides at
Farmington, Washington. The latter

dicament.

Mrs.PhJofman
Tired, nervous and irritable, the
mother is unfit to care for her chil
dren, and her condition ruins the child's
disposition and reacts upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, as
she no doubt is suffering with back
ache, headache, bearing-down pains or
displacement, making life a burden.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. It strengthens the female
organs and permanently cures al I dis
placements and irregularities.
Such testimony as the following
should convince women of its value :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
" I want to tell you how much good Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me.
I suffered for eight years with ovarian
troubles. X was nervous, tired and ir
ritable, and it did not seem as though I could
stand it any longer, as I had five children to
care for. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound was recommended and it has en
tirely cured me. I cannot thank you enough
for your letter of advice and for what Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me. Mrs. Ph. Hoffman, 100 Himrod
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y."

Suit Over Hop Sale
To recover about $110 alleged to
have been overpaid in a hop transac
tion, is the purpose of a suit that was
filed in the circuit court Monday, the
plaintiff being R. M. Gatewood, a Port
land hop dealer. The defendant is
J. H. Baker, a hop grower of Wilson
ville. The complaint alleges that H.
J. Ottenheimer, a hop dealer at Salem,
purchased from Baker 800 pounds of
hops at YIY2 cents a pound and for
the balance of the purchase price gave
a check for $442. GO on Ladd & Bush of
Salem. Baker went to Portland and
secured Gatewood's indorsement to
the check which was cashed at the
Canadian Bank of Commerce. It is
claimed that this amount exceeded by
$110 what was due Baker who refuses
to refund the difference. Ottenheimer
has made affidavit in support of the
allegation in the complaint and the
check was protested at the bank on
which it was drawn.
All Liable to Mistakes
The Evening Telegram employs a
humorist to look for typographical
errors in the country papers and only
a few days since he called a good one
on the Register, remarking that these
errors sometimes make great differ
ences, or words to that effect. The
country publishers enjoy this fun
making at their expense more than
words can tell and appreciate the
Telegram's kindness in keeping the
public informed that there are other
papers. Since typographical errors
cause these differences we are moved
to remark that few of the country pa
pers make them cause such large dif
ferences as does the Telegram. Tues

This.
Can't rest at night with a bad back,
A lame, a weak or an aching one.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for bad
backs.
They cure every form of kidney ills.
From common backache to diabetes.
Mrs. M. Custer, residing at 535 W.
Second street, Albany, Oregon, says:
'As a result of cold sometime last
Fall my back became so lame that I
could hardly get about at all. In the
morning I felt sore and lame and my
night's rest was broken by too fre
quent action of the kidneys. A box
of Doan's Kidney Pills was procured
for me. I noticed their effects after
taking a few doses and in a short
time I was cured. When I find a rem
edy that does all that is claimed for
it I am only too pleased to make that
fact known to others. I consider
Doan's Kidney Pills the best remedy
I ever used."
Plenty more proof like this from Or
egon City people.

Mr. Charman was born, in this city
September 23, 1861, and is' a son of
Mrs. M. M. Charman. He was edu
cated here and at Corvallis, where he
attended" the State Agricultural Col
lege four years, graduating with the
degree of bachelor of arts in 188., at
the age of 20 years. Returning to
Oregon City, he took up the drug bus
iness, and was with L. Blumauer, in
Portland, for a year. In 1882, with his
brother, T. Leonard Charman, he
bought the drug store of Higginson
& Co., and they were associated to
gether under the firm name of Char
man Bros, for six years, when T. L.
Charman sold his interest to E. R.
Charman, who died in 1896. Since
1888 the firm has been known as
Charman & Co.
Few citizens took more active in
terest in municipal affairs than did
Mr. Charman, who for several years
served as a member of the Council
and also rendered good service as an
aggressive member of the Board of
Trade. When any movement was
started that was in the interest of
the city, Mr. Charman was among the
first to respond and become actively
interested until the purpose had been
attained. His idea of civic beauty
was highly developed, his residence
property being an ideal of well-kept
premises.
The funeral services, which were
held Sunday afternoon at the First
Congregational Church, of which the
I deceased was a member, were largely
attended. Rev. E. S. Bollinger offici
ated, the pall bearers being Chas. Al
bright, G. B. Dimick. Franklin T.
Griffith, E. G. Caufield, C. D. Latou
rette and O. W. Eastham. Interment
was had in Mountain View cemetery.

Eastern Oregon Man Will Ask for the I Fatal Accident Befalls J. Milan, An
Kepubiican Nomination.
In announcing his candidacy for
nomination as Governor on the Re
publican ticket, C. A. Johns, of Baker
City, says: s
"Subject to the terms and condi
tions of the primary law. I am and
will be a candidate for governor on
the Republican ticket. -
"It is not a question of salary. There
are many things far more yaluable
than gold, and to my mind the office
of governor of the state of Oregon is
one of them. N
"Am going to make an honorable
effort to secure that position and want
all my friends throughout the state
to assist me, and I appeal to them for
support. Any promise or pledge will
be made direct to the people; no other
promise or pledge will be made.
"Am not and will not be "or become
a candidate of any faction, any man,
or combination of men. Will either
be nominated or defeated on my mer
its, and will not in the least compro
mise my official integrity. Will stand
by this, even though it should cost me
the nomination. My nomination
would not mean the success or defeat
of any element of the republican par
ty. I want to see the party harmon
ized and united and the whole ticket
elected, and if nominated and elected
will endeavor to accomplish that end
and give the state a clean, honest,
economical, business, republican administration.
"No matter -what may be the re
sult, I pledge my hearty support to
the ticket." -
With a plot that never loses its
grip on the audiences and a scenic
achievement that made the produc
tion famous "On the Bridge at Mid
night" has won its way among the
most successful American plays and
its coming to this city at an early date

completeness and excellence of the
scenic equipment has been steadily
maintained by the owners and man
agers, George Klimt and Frank Gaz

tion this season with an exceptionally

The evening of the last day of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition has been
designated as Goode Night, in honor
of H. W. Goode, president of the Ex
position.
The total admissions to the Lewis
and Clark Exposition up to September
27, was 2,006,545. It is expected that
the grand total will be not less than
2,500,000, a better record than ever
before was made by an enterprise of
similar magnitude.

Death, resulting from accidental
drowning, was the verdict returned
by a coroner's jury at an inquest that
was held over the remains of J. Milan,
whose body was discovered floating
in the locks at the Falls last Thurs
day morning. The identity of the
drowned man was established by a
letter found on his person that had
been written him by his son and
daughter,, who reside at Mohall, North
Dakota. They were notified of their
father's death, and directed that the
remains be forwarded to the old home
for burial.
Milan was about 60 years of age,
and on the Saturday before received
his pay from the Crown-Columbia
Pulp & Paper Company, where he
had been employed. That was the
last seen of him by the mill manage
ment until the body was recovered
five days later. Doctors Carll and
Hickman' of this city, made an au
topsy which disclosed that Milan's
neck was broken. It is supposed that
Milan fell into the canal, sustained -the
fatal injury and was drowned.
The presence of two severe gashes,
one on the forehead and the other on
the back of the head, led to the sup
position, before the body had been '
identified, that the man had been foul
ly dealt with, but the result of the au
topsy dispelled all such conclusions.
