THE MOBNING OREGONIAK, TUESDAY.' JANUARY 28, 1902.
WHOSE MONEY WAS IT?
DID METSCHAX DRAW INTEREST
ON STATE FUNDS f
A. Bunk, of Salem, Is Trying: to Prove
He Did, and Adduces Strong:
Evidence.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 27. That ex-State
Treasurer Phil Metschan deposited state
funds In the Williams & England Bank
and received Interest thereon was what
banker A. Bush tried to prove In the
Circuit Court today. Evidence tending
strongly to support that view of the case
was introduced, but whether it proves the
fact Is yet to be decided by the court.
The Willjams & England Bank failed in
November, 1895, nearly five years after Mr.
Metschan became State Treasurer. It
was shown by the books of the bank that
some $12,000 standing on the books to the
credit of ex-State Treasurer G. A. Webb
was transferred to Mr. Metschan's ac
count, and that $1020 and $722 was there
after credited to Mr. Metschan as Inter
est on this and other deposits. The first
payment of Interest was made about a
year and four months after Mr. Metschan
went into office.
At the time the bank failed only about
5S000 was credited to the account of Phil
Metschan, State Treasurer. Certificates
of deposit to the amount of $25,000 were
held by Edmund C. Glltner, who testi
fied on the stand today that this money
was furnished by Metschan, and that the
certificates- of deposit were lield by him as
an accommodation to Mr. Metschan.
When asked why the money was depos
ited In the names of several persons in
stead of in one, Mr. Glltner said that It
was to avoid publicity. The persons In
whose names certificates of deposit were
thus Issued were B. F. Glltner, E. C. Gllt
ner, L. A. McNary. F. K. Lovell and L.
K. Adams. It was shown that these per
sons did not deposit any money in the
bank, but that they permitted the use of
their names as a. favor to Mr. Metschan.
Mr. Metschan was not present at the
trial today. The witnesses had but little
recollection of the details of the various
transactions, so the books themselves
formed the principal evidence. In some
cases the book entries do not show what
the deposits and payments really were,
and not until the court has rendered a de
cision will It be known whether the
money upon which Interest was paid was
state money.
W. H. Odell, ex-clerk of the Land
Board, is also a defendant in this pro
ceeding. It was alleged that he depos
ited state funds in the bank. This was
practically admitted by him, and he ex
plained that it was his custom to deposit
his collections from time to time, and to
make payments to the state treasury once
a month. No attempt was made to show
that either Mr. Odell or his co-defendant,
E. J. Swafford. ex-City Treasurer, re
ceived any interest on money deposited by
them.
The whole proceeding was commenced
by A. Bush, who filed a petition asking
Judge Boise to make an order forbidding
the receiver of the Williams & England
Bank to pay any interest on the claims
of these creditors, it being alleged that
their claims are for public funds. The
general defense was that as soon as the
bank failed these creditors were com
pelled to use their private money to make
the public funds good, and that they
therefore have personal claims against
the bank for the amounts they had on
deposit. The case will be argued next
Saturday.
A suit is pending in the Circuit Court
having for Its purpose the recovery of any
public money that may have been paid
out on claims against the bank or as in
terest on claims founded upon deposits
of public money.

A Wig
You don't see very many
wigs nowadays. People have
been educated how to care
for the hair. That's one
reason. Another is, Ayer's
Hair Vigor makes wigs un
necessary. Nothing its equal
for feeding the hair.
"For many years my hair has comt
out so fast every winter that I hac
to wear a wig. I tried Ayer s Hai
Vigor. It stopped the falling, and mad
my hair grow so that lest winter I dli
not use my wig at all."

Prompt Action by the Authorities Is
Necessary to Prevent Spread
of the Slaludy.
PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 27. Serious
consequences to the swineralslng Industry
hereaboute are threatened unless radical
steps are taken at once to eradicate a
disease In several localities. Reputable
veterinary surgeons pronounce It hog
cholera, yet nothing apparently has been
done to prevent Its spread beyond a small
attempt at quarantining a few Infected
bands. Close inquiry reveals the undoubt
ed fact that no less than. 200, perhaps 300.
deaths have occurred In the last few
weeks. Some believe the total Is even
higher. Efforts have been made to con
ceal the fact, and owners have agreed
not to tell any one. "Others have been in
duced to keep the facts from the public.
It cannot be denied that some very seri
ous malady affects swine In this part of
the country, demanding quick action by
the authorities to prevent greater losses.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts arc known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the 'little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitation's, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as jou value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please
to remember, the full name of the Company
CALIFORNIA FIG SYR.UP

beneficial effects it is al
