BRYAN IS WATCHFUL
On the Alert for Instructed
Delegations.

WASHINGTON. April 11. The trips that
Bryan takes periodically throughout vari
ous portions of the country, making a
campaign for the Presidency, are not ap
proved by the Democratic managers here,
but they have reconciled themselves to
the fact that Bryan rules them, and that
they cannot rule him any more than they
could during the campaign of 1S96. From
a prominent Democratic Senator, who Is
opposed to Bryan's nomination. It '-a
learned today that every effort made In
any direction to head off Bryan Is met by
a speechmaklng tour of the Democratic
candidate for the purpose of assuring him
self that no delegates get away from him.
Bryan expects a number of delegates from
the East, but at the same time he under
stands how the political manipulators of
the party In these states may be able to
elect men apparently for him, but ready
to co-operate In a movement to prevent his
nomination. Bryan Is making sure of the
Western states, and Intends there shall be
no doubt about his having the number of
votes necessary to a choice In a Demo
cratic convention.
There Is a great deal of criticism of the
method Bryan has employed, and particu
lar reference Is made to the speech of
Cockrell of Missouri, upon Bland, yester
day. Cockrell referred to the fact that
Bland became the candidate of Missouri
for the Democratic nomination. He re
fused to be a delegate to the -National
Convention, and, Cockrell said, "returned
to his home and remained there until after
the convention had made Its nomination,
refusing to attend meetings anywhere or
do aught that might be construed as elec
tioneering for himself or promotive or nu
candidacy for the nomination."
This Is thought to have been a aireci
slap at Bryan, who attended the conven
tion as a contesting delegate, was seatea.
made a speech which secured his nomina
tion, and campaigned every hour until the
election, and since his defeat has cam
paigned almost continually for the noml.
nation. The Democratic leaders, who
know something about what Is going on
In their respective states, think that Bryan
Is becoming weaker: but the people tninK
that his constant watchfulness and tours,
such as he is making, will Insure the
delegates that ne Is so anxious to have
An Inspired Editorial.
The following appears on the editorial
Dage of the Washington Post today, and
Ithe people of Oregon will probably be able
Ito see Its Inspiration:
"Senator McBridc is In his seat In the
Senate, but his heart Is In Oregon. In
at state. 3000 miles away from Wash
ington, primary elections are being held
tto determine who shall be members of tne
next Legislature. And the next Legisla
ture will decide. In Us turn, whether or
not McBride will come back to the Senate.
No wonder that he Is anxious, and yet.
If the truth be told, he Is really afraid to
ro. It is an unwritten law in Oregon
olItlcs that no United States Senator
ihall leave his duties in Washington to
uirtlclpate In the Senate primaries. Mr.
llcBride's Interests, therefore, are en-
rusted to his friends. Every day Mr. Mc
Bride receives telegraphic reports from
)regon. telling him of the results In th;
L-arious counties. Even the fact that
I he r.ws Is very encouraging (!) Is not
rurncient to prevent the Senator from
vlshlng himself In the midst of the fight."

Would Pro-Boer Orators Really Med

BAIXSTON, ApriTs.-To the Editor.)
It may be well enough for certain of
your correspondent! to air their views on
the merits of the Boer question in the
abstract. It gives them mental exercise,
and possibly may tend to elevate the
Ideals of the American people. But when
Democratic leaders try to force the Issue
Into practical poUtlcs, the sober citizen,
who has some regard for his country!
real Interests, has a right to know what
Is the ultimate goal of such a movement.
If these men are sincere In their demand
that this Government Intervene In behalf
of the Boers, are they prepared to see It
through to make such an Intervention
effective, no matter at what cost? Or are
these politicians merely demagogues, who
are "talking throug hthelr hats with an
eye to the votes of the lrreconcllables
among the Irish population?
If the latter be the case, the Demo
cratic leaders are confessed frauds, who
are confusing Issues and diverting public
attention from matters of real Interest to
the American people. If the former be
the resolve of these barn-storming ora
tors, and they are willing to assist the
Transvaal Republic (?) with the armed
hand, the voters should be definitely In
formed, so that they may be able to count
the cost of delivering their votes to the
patriotic Democracy.
In the present temper of the British
people. It Is evident they are prepared
to resist Intervention to the death. Of
this fact all Europe Is aware, and not a
single government, even to the republics
of France and Switzerland will meddle
In the conflict. Is the United States pre
paredat the dictation of demagogues
to engage In a war which would be one
of the most disastrous the world has ever
seen, and In behalf of a nominal republic
which the weight of evidence declares to
be a corrupt oligarchy?
We might not be afraid of the outcome,
for 75 millions of people, with a country
of unlimited resources, and with few as
sailable outside Interests, should surely
be eventually the victor over 40.000,000
whose assistant colonies and sources ot
food supply are scattered over the globe.
But In the meantime what suffering! Be
sides the gigantic Intertwining of com
mercial and financial Interests (for M per
cent of our foreign commerce Is with the
United Kingdom), we have the welfare of
our agricultural population to consider.
The Immense Importation of American
grain by Great Britain sets the price ot
every bushel produced on our farms, and
I have neighbors who, barely able to keep
up the Interest on their mortgages at the
present price of wheat, would Inevitably
lose their homes when wheat could not
be so'd at any price.
But It Is a work of supererogation to go
over the catalogue of disasters such a
war would entail any man with a "think
tank" can figure them out for himself;
the loss of life alone would certainly be
enormous, for such a war would be a
Spanish "breakfast-speel." Of a surety,
the hopes of this Coast for a great West
ern market would be crushed, for such a
chance would, not be missed by Russia ot
closing the door which Secretary Hay has
labored so assiduously to open.
It may seem superfluous, even to refer
to these possibilities, which should be
apparent to all men of sense, but dema
gogues, such as now appear to lead the
Democratic party, play on the passions
and prejudices of the thoughtless, and
sometimes occasion Infinite harm. The
attempt to wreck the Nicaragua canal
project (see Nebraska platform) by op
posing neutralization In order to "get a
whack at old England," Is another piece
of demagogy which the people of Oregon,
who have been praying for the canal for
years, should remember at the polls.
In conclusion, I will repeat that the
Democratic bosses can be sized up either
as frothy, demagogues who don't mean
what they say when they howl for em
phatic Intervention In the South African
War, or else as traitors to the best In
terests of their country. If they would In
reality plunge It Into a dreadful war with
the only friend we have In Europe, whose
interests are bound up with our own.
Whichever horn of the dilemma they
choose, they condemn themselves as unfit
to manage the Nation's affairs.

Hon. W. A. Jones, Commissioner of In

THE STRUGGLE ENDED
(Continued from First Pas.)
tlnuous applause. It was a glorious thing,
he said, to witness the anxiety of the
Democratic party and the Mugwump press
lest the Republican party should destroy
Itself. He had witnessed It before, but
he had never seen It so zealous as now to
avert from the Republican party the
odium and curse of an outraged public
sentiment (Republican cheers.) He re
ferred sarcastically to an editorial this"
morning In "one of these Independent pa
pers which would probably support
Bryan." appealing to the Republicans for
God's sake not to do themselves Injury.
It gave the "brand of hypocrisy" to the
whole outfit, he said. Grosvenor said he
adored the Democratic party for making
opposition to this bill the test of Democ
racy, and those Democrats who had pre
viously voted for the tariff bill now placed
allegiance to party above consistency, -Allegiance
to this bill was now, he said,
the shibboleth of Republicanism.
He hurled back In Richardson's teeth
the charge of bribery. Did the gentleman
from Tennessee, he asked, think he could
be a hypocrite everywhere? He himself
did not believe It. If he believed any Re
publican had made such a statement, why
had he not Investigated It? "We do not
beltcvs It," cried Grosvenor. "We "know
It Is a lie, (Republican applause.) I do
not say no man made that statement.
But If he did. he Is a liar. (Democratic
Jeers.) Let the gentleman from Tennes
see bring In a resolution, and It will be
adopted In 15 minutes."
"I did not make the statement myself.";
Interrupetd Richardson.
"Oh. no," retorted Grosvenor, "that Is
like the shining, slippery character ot the
gentleman." (Republican applause.)
Dalsell Conclnded.
At this Juncture Grosvenor's time ex
pired, and Dalzell concluded the debate
on the rule. Reverting to Richardson's
characterization of the rule as an "out
rage." he recalled the rule brought In
when the Democrats concurred In the
Senate amendment to the Wilson tariff
bill, evoking frequent applause during the
recital. "Scribes, Pharisees and hypo
crites," he denominated the Democrats
for prating of the change of base made
by the Republicans. When the Puerto
Rico tariff bill was originally presented,
he said. It had been advocated and op
posed with the tlme-honorcd traditions of
the respective parties. The Democrats
had found their law In the Dred Scott
decision, their politics In the philosophy
of John C. Calhoun. The Republicans had
found their law In the speeches of Daniel
Webster, their politics In the platform
upon which Abraham Lincoln had been
ellectcd. The majority, upon whose shoul
ders the responsibility rested, he said,
were ready to assume It, and he pre
dicted. In conclusion, that the day was
not far distant when the masses of the
people of the country would recognize
their course as wise and beneficent for
tho people of Puerto Rico.
Richardson was on his feet as Dalzell
closed, with a motion to recommit the rule
with Instructions to report a new rule
and a substitute bill providing:
"First For free trade between the
United States and Puerto Rico.
"Second A civil government for the
Territory of Puerto Rico, of Republican
form."
The Speaker ruled that, as the previous
question had been ordered on the rule,
Richardson's motion was not In order.
"Vote, vote, vote," came from many
quarters, and the Speaker beat a lively
tattoo to eecure order while the vote was
being taken.
Special Rule Adopted.
The viva voce vote was Indecisive, and
to save time an aye and no vote was
taken on the adoption of the rule. The
voting was followed with Intense Interest.
Long (Rep. Kan.) and Underwood (Dem.
Ala.) hovered about the desk, seeing that
every possible vote was1 recorded. The
announcement of the adoption of the rule.
"ayes, 15S; noes, 143; preeent and not vot
ing, 11," was greeted with salvos ot ap
plause on the Republican side. The large
majority was a surprise, it was regarded
as a test vote.
The Republicans who voted against the
rule were Crumpacker (Ind.), Heatwole
(Minn.). Lane (la.). Uttlefield (Me.), Lor
lmer (I1L). McCall (Mass.). H. C. Smith
(Mich.) and Warner (111.). The only Dem
ocrat voting for the rule was Sibley (Pa.).
It was decided that the time remaining
three and a half hours should be equally
divided between the two sides, Payne (Rep.
N. T.) and Richardson (Dem. Tenn.) to
control the time on their respective sides.
Watson for the BUI.
Payne yielded to Watson (Rep. Ind.),
who opened the debate. From the incep
tion of the consideration of the Puerto
Rlcan tariff bill to the present time, he
said, there had been so much misappre
hension and misunderstanding, so much
crimination and recrimination, so many
charges and counter-charges here and in
the country, that he would consider him
self fortunate If he were able to search
out some of the hidden causes which had
produced this agitation. What were the
causes, be asked, which had so inflamed
the country? A potent Influence, he said,
had been the supposed conflict between
the ways and means committee and the
President: yet, he Insisted that the Pres
ident and his advisers were today a. unit
in support of the bill. The dark and mys
terious Influences which had been hinted
at, this damnable charge reiterated on the
floor today, was baseless and false.
Continuing, he pointed out the reasons
which had led the President and his ad
visers to change their opinions, how in
formation as to conditions had been ob
tained. Tho Republican was a practical
party. It met conditions ao they arose. It
had rise nto the occasion, and had framed
this bill, founded upon Justice and wis
dom. He raked the Republican recalci
trants who read the newspapers and Imag
ined they were In the swelling current of
history. They were, he said, marking
time, but Imagined they were In the tri
umphal march of progress. They were
allying themselves with those whose ban
ners were Inscribed with obsolete theories
and who were themselves "the high pricts
of pessimism," (preaching the "gospel ot
despair."
''Creatures of Noah's ark." he asked,
addressing the other side, "what do you
propose? No voice comes from the tomb."
(Republican applause.)
Jones (Dem. Va.) followed on the Dem
ocratic side. He devoted himself princi
pally to the civil government features ot
the bill. Replying to Watson's query as
to what the Democrats would do, he said
that If they could, they would give to the
Inhabitants of Puerto Rico a representa
tive free government, with the .same
rights, privileges and Immunities enjoyed
by every American citizen.
II. C. Smith's Opposition.
Richardson then yielded 30 minutes to
McCall (Rep. Mass.), who divided his time
among the Republican opponents of the
bill. First, IL C. Smith (Rep. Mich.) etat
oil the grounds of his opposition. He be
lieved, with Bismarck, that the world was
ruled from above, not from below, and
that the God of nations and of battles
points the victory to the right. Now was
the exalted opportunity ot this country,
he said, and It should be the Republican
party which should lead It. But. as a
believer of the survival of the good and
the true, he said he could not bring his
conscience to support the bill. It was. a
piece of bad faith against the people ot
Puerto Rico, who had faUen upon their
knees to the Stars and Stripes. General
Miles' promise then made should, he said,
be redeemed. He demanded It.
Warner (Rep. I1L) urged the same
ground of objection. The bill was, he said,
a breach of trust. "If this measure be
adopted," he said, "no people can safely
become a part of us, as they can have no
assurance of their status or their treat
ment. We may as well write upon our
borders, 'All hope abandon ye who enter
here.' "
Crumpacker (Rep. Ind.), In the minute
allowed him. argued that the bJU was
fundamentally wrong, contrary to the his
tory and traditions of the party to which
he belonged. The first platform of the
Republican party, he said, declared that
the Constitution carried political liberty to
the people ot the territories, as well as
the states, and, that declaration was as,
true now as It was then.
CGrsdy (Rep. N. Y.) and Hamilton
(Rep. Mich.) each spoke 15 minutes In sup
port' of the MIL
Dark Days for the Party.
Lorlmer (Rep. 111.) delivered a 10-mlnute
speech In opposition to the bill, which elic
ited frequent applause from the opposi
tion. "I have always favored civil government
for Puerto Rico," said he, "but I have
only thought of giving the people of that
Island such government as free men should
give to those whp come under their con
trol by conquest or otherwise. I will only
vote for a civil government bill when It
will give them such government as we
would accept for ourselves. I am sure
this measure would not be accepted by
any man favoring It on the floor of this
House If tho condltiona were reversed and
It were In his power to resist It.
"Mr. Speaker." said he In conclusion.
"I think we have reached the crisis In
our history; I think we need a liberty
revival; If we aro true to ourselves we
must have it. If we are to be untrue then
the ultimate penalty will be dissolution
of our Republican Institutions. A Nation
which surrenders its basic principle can
not survive. I am not an alarmist: I do
not think tho dissolution will come In our
days or generation; such changes work
slowly, but they are none the less lnevl
tabte. I doubt not that as lraperallsts we
will have our day of grandeur and per
haps our Imperial splendor will eclipse
that of ancient Rome. Columbia, if
shamefully bedecked with the precious
pearl of the Antilles and the gems of the
Pacific and the Orient, may excite for a
time such admiration as Is won by riches
and voluptuousness. But sir, the light of
liberty which Is to her what virtue Is to
woman will have faded from her eye.
And al lthe riches of tho world cannot
make up for that loss, to those who really
love her. to those who look upon her
starry emblem as the symbol of God
given rights and not as a commercial as
set," McCall's Speech.
McCall (Rep. Mass.) was the last Re
publican who antagonized the bill.
"Mr Speaker." said he. "It may be well
to consider for a moment, the course of
events since the bill first came Into the
House. The committee on ways and
means, of which I have the honor to be
a member, apparently misconstruing the
message of the President, voted to Im
pose a 'plain duty of S per cent. The
situation has materially changed since
that time. The duty has been decreased
to 15 per cent. Instead of being perman
ent In form, it Is self replacing Inside of
two years, and may be repealed by the
territorial legislature in two months. So
much. Mr. Speaker, for what has been
conceded upon the question of the tariff.
When we consider the arguments that
were advanced In support of the measure
when It was first presented here and com
pare It with the constitutional situation
today, we find an equally great change.
The bill was predicated upon tne propo
sition that Congress was acting under
general powers of sovereignty outside of
the Constitution and was subject to no
limitations whatever. It may have oc
curred to you who have been reading
speeches recently delivered that It Is now
sought to bring this duty strictly under
the terms of the Constitution and it Is
now maintained that It Is constitutional.
Some of my colleagues, who do not agree
with me, have described the doctrine
which I have aserted here, purely for
ad captandum purposes as the doctrine of
John C. Calhoun. I havo disputed the
despotic power on the part of Congress.
The doctrine I favor Is the doctrine of
every Justice who has spoken upon this
subject from our Supreme Court. It Is
the doctrine of the Republican platforms
and I assert It hero in the presence of the
gentleman from Pennsylvania, who today
maae a contrary assertion. It Is the doc
trine of t(sJT,Republlcan platforms of 1S96
and 1860. and It Is tho doctrine of Abra
ham Lincoln."
In conclusion he said the proposal to
tax the products of Puerto Rico had
aroused .Indignation everywhere. It had
transformed the whole country Into a
Boston tea party. (Democratic applause.)
Maddox (Dem. Ga). Williams (Dem.
Ills.), Swanson. (Dem. Va.) and Newlands
(811. Nev.) opposed the bill In very brief
but vigorous speeches. The last named
criticised the civil government feature or
the measure. He declared that If the
House wero urttrommeled, it would vote
overwhelmingly to permit a delegate from
Puerto Rico to sit on the floor of the
House.
Dalzell arose nt this point to correct
an Inadvertent remark he had made
earlier In tho day about a "subsidized
Republican press."' He had not Intended
to use such remark and ho desired to
correct It publicly.
. Rhea (Dem. Ky.) said the civil govern
ment feature of the bill presented some
novel propositions. It proposed to gov
ern, a people not citizens of the United
States in territory not a part of the
United States, yet every official was to
make oath to support and defend the
United States.
Hay (Dem. Va.) also criticised the civil
government scheme proposed in the MIL
Hopkins (Rep. I1L) asserted that the
bill, when enacted into law. would be far
more advantageous to the people ot
Puerto Rico than the United States law in
force In New Mexico, Arizona or any
territory of the United States. No money
was taken from the treasury of the United
States for building schoolhouses and roads
In any of tho territories. The Internal
revenue laws of the United States were In
full force In tho territories. He claimed
that the bill was In strict accord with the
humane promises made by General Miles.
The Magoon Opinion.
Richardson, the minority leader, con
cluded the debate on his side. He aroused
great enthusiasm amqng the Democrats
by reading extracts from the original
opinion of Charles E. Magoon. the legal
adviser of the Insular Bureau of the War
Department, In which he argued that the
Constitution was extended ex proprio vl
gore to Puerto Rico. The opinion had
been sent to the House In answer to the
House resolution adopted Saturday last,
and arrived after Richardson spoke,
earlier In tlje day. The opinion was dated
February 22. He had no words of criti
cism, he said, for Magoon for changing
his mind. He was but a subordinate offi
cer; but what would the country think,
he asked, of the Secretary of War, who
had demanded, that he reverse his opin
ion? (Prolonged Democratic applause.)
Dolllver (Rep. la.) followed. In all char
lty and generosity, he said, he conceded
tho right of every man to hold his own
opinion. Much had been made of the fact
that changes had been made In the opin
ion of men on tho floor and In the execu
tive branches of the Government, and the
final act of eloquence on the other side,
he said, had been the reading of the opin
ion of "a law clerk who thought he could
overrule the great lawyer who presides
over the War Department." Dolllver said
he would prefer the opinion of lawyers
like McCall or Littlefleld to the opinion ot
a law clerk. Proceeding, he asked Rich

The Hawaiian bill was sent to confer
ence, and at 5:35 P. M-, the House ad
journed. INTEREST IN NATIONAL GUARD
Willamette Volley Towns Are Far
Ahead of Portland.
Another National Guard company Is
to be organized up the Valley. At the
meeting of the Military Board Monday, In
Salem, the privilege was granted Albany
on the application of C. A. Sears and 6
other citizens of that city. The company
will be mustered in Saturday, April 11.
Mr. Sears, who beads the list of appli
cants, was formerly a Lieutenant In tha
old Albany Guard Company, and will like
ly be elected Captain. A considerable
portion of the men are volunteers
from the Second Oregon, most of them
having been members of Company L Al
bany has always maintained a splendid
company of the Guard, and the new organ
ization will doubtless be one of tha best
in the state. The citizens of that city are
greatly Interested in the work, and sup
port the efforts of tha soldiers In every
manner possible.
There were two other applications before
the board for formation of companies, ac
tion on both ot which was deferred. One
of tbeso was from Thurston and the other
from CreswelL near Eugene, In Lane
County. From every part of tho VaUey
and Southern Oregon comes evidence of
the enthusiasm felt by the people of that
part of the state In the military organisa
tion. The Valley is sow far ahcaa of
Portland In the strength of it share of
the Guard, and would doubtless be further
ahead If given full rein to organlso wher
ever sufficient men could be 'secured.
At the meeting Monday evening the
board recommended to the Governor that
an annual encampment lasting 10 days be
held In. the middle of July. Thi place
where the encampment is to bs held has
not yet been determined upon. There is
a sufficient fund on. hand to make an en
campment successful this year, and It is
the hope of military officers that one wi.l
be held.
As the Valley and Southern Oregon com
panies have reached the desired number,
regimental formation Is likely to be taken
up soon. While Portland nas not yet com.
panics for two full battalllons. It may be
that regimental organization will be ef
fected here also, leaving one space iink
and incorporating the Oregon City com
pany In the Second Battalion. It had been
hoped there would be more companies or
ganized in Portland, especially from among
the Volunteers. There are several move
ments afoot that may result In two or
three more companies In the near future,
in which case they could be added to tho

THEY MASTER
ALL DISEASES
Chronic Diseases of All Kinds Yield to the Skill
of the Copeland Specialists.
Thousands of Persons Who Believed Themselves
Doomed to Remain Lifelong Victims of Incurable
Chronic Diseases Have Been Restored to Health
' and Happiness by the Matchless Skill of the Cope
land Physicians.
THE 6Alfc TO HEALTH WIDE OPEN,
t i'.if
So extended and firmly established has
become the reputation of the Copeland
specialists In the cure of chronic catarrh
of all forms that many suppose the special
skill of these physicians to be confined to
the treatment of that all-prevailing, in
sidious and dangerous disease, but such
la far from being the case. The same su
perb mastery they have over that great
enemy of the human race they also pos
sess over chronic diseases of all kinds. No
sufferer from a chronic and wasting mal
ady, no person whose nerves throb with
the tortures of rheumatism, no pale, rest
less, nervous, emaciated invalid, whose
stomach has ceased to perform its duty
of assimilating the food taken into it for
the sustenance of the body: no victim of
nerve-racking neuralgia; no one suffering
and slowly dying from chronic affections
of the liver, kidney, bladder, bowels and
other organs of tho body: no unfortunate
whose bronchial tubes have been Invaded
by catarrh until his lungs have become
affected and he Is threatened with con
sumption, or whose' entire system has
been undermined by the absorption of ca
tarrhal poisons: In fact, no person af
flicted with any chronic disease which
baffles the skill of tho ordinary family
physician and Is by him pronounced In
curable, ever applies to the Copeland
specialists for reUef In vain. More than
this, no person Is prevented from receiv
ing the benefit of their great skill be
cause of their Inability, to pay for It. for
the Copeland fee Is so small that every
suffering mortal may go to them for re
lief. Their wonderful mastery over dis
ease Is brought within the reach of tho
masses by the equally wonderful low feo
of C a month for treatment, all medi
cines being supplied by them free. When
the highest attainments of medical scl
e'nee. the utmost skill In the treatment of
chronic diseases, the greatest experience
In curing what most physicians admit
themselves to be unable to cure, are thus
brought within the easy reach of all who
suffer. It Is no wonder that thousands
avail themselves of the opportunity to
be cured, and gladly pToclalra their euro
and gratitude, so that all others who suf
fer may know where to go for relief.
THE RADICAL CURE
OF CHRONIC DISEASE
IN MANY FORMS.
Mr. J. H. Otto, 2T4 Fourth street,
Portland: Several years ago I took a
course of treatment at the Copeland In
stitute for a catarrhal trouble affecting
my head, stomach and bowels, the result
of an attack of Panama fever 20 years
before. At that time I was in my 63d
year, and thought this would be against
a cure, but under the treatment given
me, my catarrh got well and my stomach
CoruuIUlion Free.

Gilbert Auxiliary Camp.
At the last meeting of Gilbert Auxiliary
Camp, which meets In the hall In the
building on the corner of East Morrison
street and Union avenue. It was decided
to gtvo an entertainment for the benefit
of the camp in two weeks. There was
much discussion concerning the design
for a badge to be worn by the members.
The design was submitted for the Inspec
tion of the members. Committees were
appointed on badges, on entertainment
and relief. The meeting was largely at
tended, and much enthusiasm was dis
played. The young women members at
first were shy about expressing them
selves, but on this occasion there were
lively discussions. At the close of the
business session the remainder of the
evening was taken up with recitations
and music. The camp la In flourishing

SaiEutlon for a Pro-Boer Rally.
BEAVERTON. Or.. April 10. (To the
Editor.) We are boys today; tomorrow
we will be men. Let us come out firmly
and express our sympathy with the boy3
In the Boer army, who are now fighting
and dying with their fathers, mothers, sis
ters and brothers, fcr life, liberty and
their homes, by having, "grand pro-Boer
rally" at Portland on the 1st day of May,
1900.
Already 22.000 schoolboys of Philadelphia
have set an example that represents the
true sentiment of every American boy.
If the school boys of Portland will take
the lead. I am sure all the boys of Oregon
would gladly fall In line with one accord
and express our approval of the course
taken by our friends In the Eastern states
In "grand Oregon style."

any man of my age. due to the excellent
treatment I received at the Copeland In
stitute. Mr. John Redmond, MeWInnville,
Or.: I had suffered with catarrh and
stomach trouble for years. I took a
course of treatment with Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery, and they cured me. I
have been enjoying good health ever
since.
Mm. I. n. Clarice, vrell-knovm In
Portland, living at Gresham: The Cope
land physicians cured me of rheumatism
and deafness from which I had suffered
for many years. I am 63 years of age.
and consider my cure llttlo short of a
miracle, and never fail to give the Cope
land physicians the pralso they so richly
deserve.
Mr. E. A. Rnth, Brewster Hotel,
Portland, a well-known steamboat man:
r would have long since been In my grave
but for the treatment of Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery. They saved my life. I
suffered from a bronchial trouble, which
was thought to be consumption. My fam
ily physician could do nothing for me. I
had night sweats and a terrible cough.
At times I coughed until I raised bright,
red blood. My chest was sore, with sharp,
cutting pains through the lungs. I lost
flesh until I was nothing but skin and
bone.
When I finished my treatment two years
ago I was a perfectly well man. and hava
been so ever since. I shall be ever grate
ful to the doctors who cured me.
Mr. J. P. West. Scnppoose, Or.t
When our son Wilfred began treatment at
the Copeland Institute his condition was
very serious. He had a terrible, racking
cough. He had no appetite, and had lost
flesh and strength. He took bottle after
bqttlo of medicine, but got no better, and
we had grave fears his lungs were affect
ed. Now he Is well and strong.
Mr. Ernest Kroner, 107 Itanroe
street, Portland: Our little boy Leo was
a great sufferer from catarrh, compli
cated with frequent attacks of tonsilltls.
His condition caused us grave alarm; for.
In spite qf all treatment, he grew steadily
worse, and his general health becama
greatly Impaired. The Copeland physi
cians cured him perfectly.
