he was held is shown by the fact that
his body was placed in the court house

faithful officer and it seems horrible
that such a wild beast as Smith should
be able to take his valuable life."

Democratic Candidate
Representative in
Congress
for
A. Fred Toner, of Dallas, was in the
city this week visiting his old friend
John F. Clark. Mr. Toner was in
San Francisco during the recent
earthquake, having arrived in that
city from his Oregon home only the
night before. After leaving San Fran
cisco, which he did as soon as it was
possible for him to do after the quake,
Mr. Toner went to Los Angeles where
he met Z. F. Vaughn, a former Dallas
boy who is now becoming wealthy in
the manufacturing of gold hyperder
mic needles and surgical knives, he
having discovered a process for tem
pering pure gold. This wonderful pro
cess was made by Mr. Vaughn after

a committee of the Oregpn City coun
cil and arranged for the distribution
of the $1500 reward offered for the
capture of Frank Smith, the outlaw.
Of the reward, the Oregon City au
thorities offered the sum- of $250;
Clackamas county, $250; Marion coun-'
ty $750, and Sheriff Culver, personally
$250. By the apportionment Sheriff
Culver was allowed $50 which will
bring his donation toward the reward
down to $200. Mr. Culver stated last
evening that he had never in his life
parted with money so willingly as he
did with his share of the Smith re
ward, since the money was paid to
run down a desperado who had fouly
murdered three brave and respected
citizens. During the meeting of the
authorities at Oregon City the subject
of bloodhounds 'was thoroughly dis
cussed and it was the unanimous opin
ion. that the coming legislature should
take steps to secure and provide for
the keeping of several dogs at the Ore
gon penitentiary. Thursday's Salem

The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
For Oregon City kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Ore
gon City people who have been cured
to stay cured.
William McLarty, tailor, in the
Court House Block, living at 16th
and Washington Sts., Oregon City,
Oregon, says: "I had persistent back
ache and pain through the loins that
seemed to never let up, and the worst
part of it was the annoyance I was
caused at night, for I could not find a
comfortable position or get any rest
ful sleep on account of the continual
aching. The result was I lost energy.
I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills cur
ing others of similar trouble and I pro
cured a box at Huntley Bros.' drug
store. By the time I had used bait
of one box there was so much improve
ment that it seemed almost unneces
sary to take any more, but I finished
the box to make sure of the beneficial
results. I could then sleep the entire
night, arise rested in the morning, and
not a trace of the aching remained."
