Steams, of Oakland, Douglas County, Or., and also a separate suit against A- F.

JocTrjre Scars Therefore Grants Di vorce to Thomas Xicliolas. Judge Sears decided yesterday that there was no binding, rule that a Judge cannot grant -a divorce on the uncorroborated tes timony of one witness, and entered a de cree in the case of Thomas Nicholas against Druscilla Nicholas on the ground of desertion. Judge Sears stated that the rule requir ing corroboration did not exist except 'in the ecclesiastical courts. It did not exist in the courts of the United States, nor in England. The court referred to Bishop's work on marriage and divorce, where It is stated that the practice of requiring corroboration was never adopted in "Eng land or the United States. Judge Sears, in discussing the question, said -where the witness Was a person of high character, whose evidence was believed, and not contradicted by another witness, the di vorce might be granted, but this practice would not be adopted. The court would be slow to grant a divorce under such circum stances, and would refuse in ifl out of 20 cases. Attention was - called to the fact that In a number of states corroborative evidence has been required, and while not provided directly for by the statute of this state. It has been1 Insisted upon by thd courts. Nicholas came here .frpm Texas, Mo., where his family still reside. He and his wife are' said to have had a serious dis agreement, and he settled $12,000 upon her before he came away. His testimony was that she abandoned his home. UXG GOAV IS ACQUITTED.

The verdjet was returned at 10:20 o'clock yesterday morning, after deliberations lasting for -about IS hours. Judge Frazer called the jury In when court convened, stating that he hoped they would be able to' reach a verdict, as another trial of the case would entail a large expense, not only on the county, but oh the defendant as well. He asked the jurors to retire once more to the jury room and see If they could not agree. The jury had stood for some time 10 to 2 lor acquittal, and in less than an hour the two obstinate men agreed on acquit tal. The majority of 'the jury was for the defendant from the first ballot, 'which Shows that the evidence for the prosecu tion was not considered as convincing. Lum Gau was beaten to death as the re sult of a -quarrel. TO ASIC PARDOX FOR BALDWINS. Petition Will Be Sent to Governor Geer, Asking: Their Release.

Fault on -Both Sides. PORTLAND, Or.,; Nov. IS. (To the Editor.H-Some few days ago there ap peared in the editorial columns of your paper an article criticising the young men who graduate from the High School of Portland as not being able to spell or express themselves intelligently, espec ially In making application for a posi tion. I want to say that no young man answering an "ad" 'expects to get a 'po sition whereby he will sit down and fold his;arms and expect to ' receive.- any kind of compensation for same.' r"wlll ven ture to" say that the article has taken two of the very worst applications out of the ones received, and if the truth were known these two applicants in. question have never seen the Inside of a High School. The average business man cannot dictate an Intelligent letter, except In any "old way, leaving the young lady stenographer to decipher It out as best she can. I have never had a High Schdol education, and. In fact, was thrown out in the world on my own resources when quite young thereby' being de prived of a thorough education. Peo ple are apt to be a little hasty in ridi culing others, thereby showing their own weak points. It will be well for some of the business men to devote a part of their time toward improving their edu cation instead of ridiculing the young men of today. I can state as a result of my experience under the employment of some of the' "business men," that the youth,' fresh from school, no matter how w.ell versed he may be In the correct use of the English language. Is apt to lose much of what he has learned by a, year or more's contact with some of these illiterate business men. In -my struggle for an education -I con sidered myself handicapped by working for business men . who though prone to snap up others for' their little faults and deficiencies, never conceived the Idea of how much they particularly lack In a knowledge of the proper use of our lan guage. A. C. D. CLAIMS UNIQUE RECORD. George Burns Believes He Is Most Patched-Up Man in the World. Cleveland Plain Dealer. The man who claims to be the most patched-up person in the world is in Cleveland searching -for his long-lost brother.

HELENS, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) Tho Gumm public school building of St. Helens was recently completed at a cost of $3000. It Is a four-room structure, with basement, and has provisions for furnace heat. The building was named In honor of the late John Gumm, who left beneficiary legacies In his will to aid In the construction of new school buildings at both St. Helens and Columbia City. testimonial to the ability of the modern surgeon to patch up the human frame. The catalogue of Burns' afflictions and physical disabilities reads like a list of the casualties in a mine disaster or a subway explosion. Burns says that the entire top of his skull Is gone, being replaced by a silver plate which is attached to his right jaw; five ribs on the left side have been re moved, forcing his heart to the right side of his anatpmy; a portion of his right hip is missing: one of his legs has been fractured in three places, the other In two; his elbow joints are a thing of mem ory; he Is blind In one eye; one of his kneecaps is situated midway down his shin, and in all 37 pieces of bone have been removed from his body. Burns says that atone time he was thought to have passed to the great beyond. The shroud had been prepared, the coffin was ready, when the supposed dead man rose to pro test against the funeral rites. The much-disabled man was born in Troy, N. Y., 73 years ago. He claims to be a veteran of the Mexican and a sur vivor of the Civil "Wars. He joined the Navy schoolshlp Hartford shortly before the outbreak of the latter conflict. He served under Farragut. and, while on an expedition along the Mississippi River, he was struck by a shell and the entire upper portion of his skull was shot off. For weeks he hovered between life and 'death, after having submitted to an op eration involving the Insertion of a large sliver plate In his skull. After the Civil War Burns says he served on the Jeanette during the Greely expedition. On his return he was caught In machinery while serving as an engin eer In a plant at Charleston, S. C. Ac cording to Burns' statement he was hurled around the. factory for some min utes. He was crushed beyond recognition, and when rescued was pronounced dead. He was borne tenderly to the morgue and laid away on ice. He there regained consciousness and informed the attend ants that he was still to be numbered ampng the living. Since that accident Burns says he has spent a major portion of his time In the hospitals. Five years ago, he declares, the doctors and experts of Bellevue Hos pital. New York, gave him up. He Is go ing about' the country looking for his brother, who has been missing for many years. The Acolinn Recital. The regular "Wednesday evening re cital" at Aeolian Hall tonight at 8:15 o'clock.

ZAHAX WILL VISIT CO LUMBIA UXIVERSITY. Extensive Improvements -May Be the Result Splendid Gymnasium Is Almost Completed. President A. M. Qulnlan, of the Colum bia University, at University Park, an nounces that Rev. J. H. Zahan, a dis tinguished divine and head of the Notre Dame (Ind.) College, and the branch col leges throughout the United States, will visit the Columbia University the latter part of the month. His visit is looked forward to with great Interest, and will be an Important event In the history of the young institution. The date of his arrival is not yet known, but will be very soon. ' . Preparations are already being made for a big reception tp the distinguished divine on his arrival, to be held at the univer sity building. His visit may have consid erable significance to the Portland insti tution, and may mean that a dormitory, and other Improvements will be provid ed for. President Quinlan also reports that the big gymnasium hall on the campus will be completed within the next three days. It only remains to put in some more of the glass. The students have already been using the hall for their indoor ex ercises. It is an imposing and attractive structure. The roof, which Is composed wholly of glass, is supported by Immense arches which rise at the highest point nearly 60 feet. It was Father Qulnlan's Idea that, the light should come from above, and not -from the sides, as first contemplated. The light falls downward .on those engaged In athletics, and there will be no shadows. Tho roof being sup ported entirely by arched trusses, the floor space Is not obstructed by posts. Tho arch of the room forms a semicircle of 150 feet, while the area 6f the ground floor on which the indoor sports will take placo Is 24,000 square feet, and the structure Is 66x44 yards. Generally It is modeled after the gym nasium at Notre Dame College, of which Columbia University is a branch, although not so large. No college on this Coast has so fine a gymnasium, and it Is said that no college In the United States hag a gym nasium wth so great a floor space. The cost was something over $7000. President Qunlan says that It will be dedicated with appropriate ceremonies In the near future. It will be ready for the Inspection of Rev. Father Zahan on his arrival. OXCE AGAIX POSTPOXED. TIchner Burckhardt Assault Case Will Be Fiercely Fought. The hearing of the case of Abe TIch ner, charged with assault and battery on F. Otto Burckhardt, was continued till this morning at 9:30 o'clock In the East Side Justice Court. It will then be heard before a Jury. It had been set for yes terday forenoon, but the jury asked for by tho defendant could . not be got to gether. Henry McGinn, attorney for Mr. TIch ner, as soon as the court opened, moved for dismissal on the grounds of want of jurisdiction. He held that, according to the recent amendment to the law govern ing Justice Courts, cases must be tried In the district In which the parties reside, and cannot be heard in a neighboring court. W. N. Gatens, Deputy District Attorney, held that the amendment re ferred to by Judge McGinn did not apply to criminal cases, and called attention to the law. Justice Seton said he was sat isfied the East Side Court had jurisdiction, and overruled the motion to dismiss. Judge McGinn then asked for a jury. R. A. Wilson, H. H. Crosier, E. A. Phltney, E. H. Virgil, J. C. Jameson and J. Shau nessey were drawn. It is evident that the case will be hotly contested by the prosecution. Judge Mc Ginn asked that a record be' made of his motion to dismiss, and Justice Seton or dered the clerk to make the entry. TIch ner filed an affidavit to the effect that he was not a resident of the East Portland, district, but of Portland. WAXT PURE WATER SUPPLY.

It seemed the consensus of opinion that It would be a good thing for Milwau kie to get a supply from Mlnthorn springs. SOUTH MOUXT TABOR CAR( LIXE. Survey Made for Extension of Haw thorne Line to West Avenue. The Oregon. Water Power & Railway Company has made a survey forextensIon of Its Hawthorne-avenue railway to West avenue, near the northwest corner of the Lower Mount Tabor reservoir. This is not- a direct extension of the Hawthorne-avenue branch, but rather a branch from the Mount Scott line. Right of way was secured along the north side of the Hutchinson farm between the Section Line road and Hawthorne avenue. The new branch will connect with the Mount Scott line several hundred yards south of Hawthorne avenue. So far the survey ends at West avenue, a short distance north of the reservoir. The county has refused to give a fran chise on West avenue to the. Section road, Mrs. Laura L. Barnes, Wash ington, D. C, Ladies Auxiliary to Burnside Post; $o. 4, G. A. R., recommends Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. " In diseases that come to women only, as a mle, the doctor is called in, some times several doctors, hut still matters go from had to worse; hut' I have never known of a case of female weak ness which was not helped when Iijdia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound was used faithfully. For Soung women who are subject to eadaches, backache, irregular or pain ful periods, and nervous attacks due to the severe strain on the system hy some organic trouble, and for women of advanced years in the most trying time of life, it serves to correct every trouble and restore a healthy action of all organs of the body. " Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a household reliance in my home, and I would not he with ont.it. In all my experience with this medicine, which covers years, I have found nothing to equal it and al ways recommend it." Mns. Laura L. Babioss, 007 Second St., N. E., "Wash ington, D. C. -f- $5000 forfeit If original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced. Such testimony should be ac cepted by all women ag convincing- evidence that Lydia E. Pmkham Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a rem edy for all the distressing; ills of women. and the owner of the land on the west side of West avenue has also declined to give right of way along his property. However, when the branch is built to West avenue, It will provide car facili ties for South Mount Tabor, and people can reach the Lower Mount Tabor reser voir by walking a short distance. The length of the proposed branch will be about three-quarters of a mile. PATRONS OP HUSBANDRY BAZAAR. Greslmm Grange Gives Entertain ment and Dinner.

Some soldiers are badly effected by cof fee drinking. The Hospital Steward In one of the Army Posts In the West says: "Though in the medical service of the Army, I suffered agony for two years from a case of chronic gastric indigestion, and now that I am free from all the tor tures attendant upon It, 1 attribute It to the good effects of Postum Food Coffee, both as a food and as a beverage. "I used medicinal and mechanical means to relieve myself during those two years, and even though I had left off the use of coffee, I did not find myself In any meas ure free until I had commenced using Postum. "Being In charge of a detachment of the Hospital Corps, U. S. A... I. of course, had supervision of the mess, and my de grees I have initiated into using Postum every member of the mess, some of whom were formerly very loud in their denuncia tion of anything 'manufactured.' And, go ing still further, I haV'e supplied It to our patients in lieu of coffee; none have found fault, while many have praised It highly, ani when returned to duty have continued the use of it when it was possible, for a soldier has an extremely hard time in try ing to choose his own food. "For the past eight months not a grain of coffee has been used in this hospital, and thanks to a cook who prepares Pos tum just rlg'ht there Is. a brilliant prps pect of coffee taking a permanent seat in the background. "One who has passed through the hor rors of Indigestion as I have, shudders as he looks back upon his sufferings and when cognizant of the cause, will shun coffee as he would a rattlesnake."
