2d street, Portland, Oregon, says:
"For several years I was bothered
more or less with kidney trouble, par
ticularly if I contracted a cold when
it was sure to seat itself in the region
of the kidneys. I wasted a lot of
time trying medicines which did not
help me, but finally learned of Doan's
Kidney Pills and got a box. The first
few doses helped me so much that I
continued taking them until I had used
six boxes They relieved me entire
ly and since I stopped taking them
there has not been the slightest sign
of a recurrence. I have advised oth
ers to use Doan's Kidney Pills and
shall continue to recommend them."

SOME HOT STUFF
E. P. CARTER. .THINKS IT'S ABOUT
TIME FOR A NEW DEAL.
Admonishes Republicans of Danger of
Continuing One Man
Dictatorship.
Editor Enterprise:
In reading an account of the Re
publican "love feast" held in Portland
the other day, I notice that the meet
ing decided that it would never do
to allow the candidates selected by
the direct primary method to go be
fore the people until the leaders had
held a convention to ratify' the nomi
nations and formulate a platform on
which to go before the people.
Did it never occur to the leaders
that the time has come when the great
mass of the voters don't care a "tink
er's dam," for a platform promulgat
ed by a few self appointed leaders,
but what they do want is honest, com
petent men to fill the county and state
offices; men free from control and
dictation by these same leaders.
For a good many years it has been
the custom for a certain class of Re
publican leaders, when in search of a
nomination, to declare their undying
allegiance to the Republican party,
and their willingness to support who
ever might be nominated for the vari
ous offices, regardless of their fitness
or unfitness "for office. And not a
man in Clackamas County who knows
anything about the politics of the
county for a number of years past,
but knows that these same loyal lead
ers have made all kinds of trades and
combinations with the several other
parties of the county in order to elect
their own henchmen and defeat every
one not willing to come under their
control. The writer ,has always be
lieved that loyalty to duty and to the
people should come before loyalty to
any political party, especially when
a party was dominated and controlled
by a lot of unprincipled bosses, who
had no interests in the welfare of the
county and state, except to advance
their own political interests.
When we look at the condition of I
the politics of the state and county, is
it not about time that we dispensed
with the services of the leaders, in the
way of formulating a platform and
principles and let the people select
their own candidates and elect them
on the bj-oad principles of honesty
and fitness for the various offices, and
dispense with the services of a large
share of political deadbeats who, for
a number of years back, have been
making an election campaign so ex
pensive that few men can afford to
run for office.
There is one thing dead sure If the
bosses undertake to defeat the will
of the people in regard to the direct
primary law they will elect a Demo
cratic set of officers at next Spring's
election. But what do the bosses care
for that? better that, and we can even
concieve of their conniving at such an
end, than that they should lose their
griD on the voters of the county.
Reform is in the air and it seems to
me that now if ever is the time for the
people of Clackamas County and the
whole state to break lose from boss
rule and corrupt politics and have a
general house-cleaning to the end that
the Republican party of Clackamas
county need not be any longer a
laughing stock for the whole state, as
a party owned and controlled by one
man
Yours for a new deal,
E. P. CARTER.

ried at Portland In July, 1897. In an
extended complaint Gumbert accuses
his wife with a wholesale interfer
ence between himself and his employ
ers. Gumbert further complains of
the gross extravagance of his wife
whom he charges with having man
aged to keep him practically penni
less the major part of their married
life. As an instance of the wife's
spendthrifty habits, Gumbert alleges
that she purchased at one time a seal
skin jacket for which she paid $50.
After wearing the garment for a week,
it is charged that she sold It to the
dealer for $25 and then purchased a
similar garment for $60. At another
time the wife is accused of having
driven the plaintiff from the house in
to the street with a mouthful of part
ially masticated food.

engagement are 15c, 25c and 35c and
seats are now on sale at Huntley's

MULE-FOOTED HOGS.
MONDAY, OCTOBER, 30 th
Changp of Play Each Night
Monday Night "MY SWEETHEART'
Prices 15, 25, 35 Cents
B. E. Moore, a farmer residing near
Sherwood, this week marketed with
Chas. Albright a number of mule-
footed hogs. Other than their hoofs,
which are quite similar to those of the
mule, these animals do not differ es
sentially from the hog family as it
is known in this state. The mule
footed breed, while rare , and practi
cally iunknown in this section is not
uncommon in the middle Eastern
states. -
Originally the breed came from a
species of wild hogs in Kentucky. Be
ing captured, the raising of this breed
proved profitable. The stock from
which Mr. Moore's herd was raised,
was brought to Oregon five years ago
from Illinois and are a ' peculiarly
naray animal. It has been the experi
ence of Mr. Moores that they are im
mune from cholera. While a part of
Mr. Moore's herd are but an eighth
or a sixteenth breed, they retain the
mule-foot feature of the original
stock.
Woman's Greatest Charm is a Glowing
Complexion.
Every woman's -aim should be to
cultivate a fresh, blooming complex'
ion, for while Nature may not have
made her attractive in form and fea
ture, theh charm of a clear skin and
a healthy complexion can be had if
she will only try for it. The greatest
enemy of a good complexion is consti
pation, and if it were known how
many Oregon City ladies have im
proved their appearance through us
ing a simple laxative remedy on sale
at Huntley Bros Co.'s drug store it
might surprise you. Laxakola Tonic
Tablets are a perfect combination of
dandelion, cascarin and other vege
table extracts known to have a pecu
liarly beneflciaUaction upon the skin.
They open the pores, enrich the blood,
aid the natural changes of the skin,
quicken the circulation, put new col
or in the cheeks and cure chronic con
stipation by regulating and encourag
ing the action of the bowels. Huntley
Bros, co. would not continue to rec
ommend this remedy if it did not pos
sess unusual merit, and unless Laxa
kola Tonic Tablets do benefit you as
claimed we will return your 25 cents
without the least argument.
WOULD BE STATE PRINTER.
No one would ever be bothered with
constipation if everyone knew how
naturally and quickly Burdock Blood
Bitters regulates the stomach and
bowels.

Miles and McGlashan Grocery Store Post.
Wm. J. Clarke, editor of the Ger
vais Star, ' was in the city Tuesday.
Mr. Clarke Is an active candidate for
the Republican nomination for State
Printer and proposes to conduct an
active campaign among the people.
On the theory that the office of State
Printer cannot be abolished until the
close of the next printer-elect's term,
in event the proposed constitutional
amendment abolishing that office is
adopted by the people at the June
election, Mr. Clarke is making an ac
tive canvas for the nomination. Mr.
Clarke contends that since the pro
posed legislation abolishing the office
will not be submitted to a vote of the
people until June, when a State Print
er Is to be elected for a term of four
years, then if the office is abolished,
it would not effect the officer-elect.
