Instructed Constable Jackson to arrest
John Doe, alias Chin Bow Quong, on a
charge of gambling. Jackson had a gen
eral idea of the Identity of John Doe, and
ho started out on a search for him. But
there arc many John Does in Chinatown,
and Mr. Jackson had to enlist the services
or his deputy, Mr. Adklns, and of Deputy
Sheriff Matthews. The three made a Joint
search for John Doe. The three sauntered
along Second street and when they came
to 106 Adklns stopped.
"I think Jack lives here," he said in
o. tone that betokened a familiar acquaint
once with the notorious John.
There was every evidence that Jack did
live there, and the other officers did not
dispute Adklns' word. The stockades were

set on a spring for Immediate slamming.
"Here goes," said Adklns, and he made
a dive for the open door. The guard tried
to close It in his face, but the lithe deputy

the door was opened, and Jackson and

NEW YORK. Feb. 9. William Hooper

Justice Herriek explained that he had

plea, and also advised the District Attor
ney to accept It, this action being taken

"There Is no occasion now for me to
make any remarks aa to the enormity of
your offense. You arc aware of the pen
alty of your crime. The sentence of the
court is that you be confined In state pris
on at Sing Sing at hard labor for the term
of your natural life.

CHURCH IS DECLINING.
WHAT FERRY WILL COST.
i
Allilnn Improvement Association
Furnishes Estimates.
The Alblna Improvement Association has
furnished the Multnomah legislative dele
gation an estimate of the probable cost
of providing another free ferry for Alblna
to be established at the foot of Russell
street. Samuel Connell, president of the
association and manager of itbe Northwest
Door Company, prepared a short letter
containing the figures. It was desired
that he should go to Salem last Friday and
In person furnish the information, - but
owing to his severe.slckneas he could not.
In his letter It Is set forth that a larger
ferry operated in place of the present one
would not provide, the relief asked for.
and that nothing short of another ferry
boat will meet the requirements of that
"portion of the city. The present ferry now
carries, he says, 2500 pedestrians, and 700
vehicles of all sorts per day. There would
be immediate business enough for the
second ferry. There was much delay in
the transaction of business, and conse
quent loss. Mr. Connell cites the exper
ience of the Northwest Door' Company.
of which he is the manager, which has
four teams, and says that they have to
wait constantly for trans do ration.
Mr. Connell staies the cost of establish
lng another, ferry some distance north of
the present one. The cost of building a
suitable boat he places at 313,000. and the
landings on both sides of the river, with
slips and waiting-rooms. :au JS.O0O. mak
ing a total of 340.000. He places the cost
of operation at 3300 per month. Mr. Con
nell undertakes to show that Lower Al
blna, naturally a good place for manufac
turing establishments on account of there
being plenty of solid and level ground re
quiring 'no piles, has been held back for
lack of adequate transforation facilities,
such as have been provided for East Port
land, where warehouses and other build
ings have been erected because there are
bridges.
The Alblna ferry bill provides for the
Issuance of $50,009 bonds, but it Is so
worded that only as much as may be re
quired shall be issued. If another ferry
should be established it will be necessary
to secure landings, which would be th
most expensive ."part of the project, as the
streets ao not seem to extend to the river.
Dr. Buckley Causes Sensation a
Meeting: of Methodist Preachers.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9. Rev. Dr. J. M.
Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate,
of this city, caused a sensation at a meet
ing of Methodist preachers here today.
The previous speaker, D. D. Thompson,
editor of the Northwestern Christian Ad
vocate, of Chicago, had spoken In a most
enthusiastic way, declaring that there
had been 1,500,000 converts made by the
Methodists In the last four years.
Dr. Buckley dlspfited the accuracy of
these figures. He declared that statistics
showed that Methodism was actually de
clining. In some of the Eastern confer
ences at any rate. He believed in look-.
Ing at the facts, and he declared It was
a grievous mistake to take an ovcroptlm
Utlc view. life statements were vehem
ently opposed by the other members. Dr.
Buckley made several short answers to
the attacks made upon him.

agree, and as this was the last Jury trial

would not be required to attend court
any more. He had been held previously
as a regular panel man to draw from, so
as to keep within the law.
The case was set lor a second inai sev

obtained from the body of the county.
The fact that the strict letter of the law
was not compiled with, was not noticed
by Judge Sears, nor District Attorney
Chamberlain, who prosecuted the case, to

Attorney Robert ualloway. who defend

George J. Cameron, objected to each
member of the Jury, but was careful not
to state his objection, so as to keep the
court in the dark, and take advantage of
the situation subsequently.

for next Monday night, to determine
whether or not the coming bench show
shall be held under the auspices of the
Pacific Kennel League or under the Ameri
can Kennel Club. There Is scarcely any
need of two organizations of this kind, and
as tba American Kennel Club has eo
modified Its rules to satisfy tbe demands
of the local sportsmen, the coming bench
show may be held under the American
Kennel Club. Winnings are not now'ree
ognlzcd by the-American Kennel Club, and
hould the local club Join that- organiza
tion, this concession will be gained.

in Pueblo for Doan's Kidney Pills and
took a course of the treatment. They
cured me, and cured me quickly. Since
then I have not'had the slightest symp
tom of a recurrence. I have recommenc
ed them to a number of friends and ac
qualntances and told them if they old not
cure them they could return the box to
me and 1 would pay them for them. No
one ever came back with a box, so I knew
they were cured." Ask the Laue-Davli

CURED
OF WEAKNESS, VARICO
CELE, STRICTURE,
ETC.
The tendency of men to neglect minor
ailments Is responsible for many a bllght-l
ed life. Happiness and safety demantl
that skilled medical aid be sought upon
the first manifestation of weakness on
other disorder In men. Neglect means!
the oncoming aggravated condition thai
will In time involve the general constitul
tion. During out twenty-one years
specialists In men's diseases we have mel
with every possible complication of prll
vate aliments. Our success In effectind
permanent cures has never been apl
preached. V,'e have acquired the underl
standing and perfected the methods thai
enable us to accomplish results, sucn as
have been regarded as impossible.
"Weakness
FuncUonal derangements, com
monly termed "weakness." are a
direct result of inflammation, en
largement of or excessive sensi
tiveness of the prostate gland,
brought on by early dissipation or
resulting from some Improperly
treated contracted disorder. These
conditions cannot possibly be re
moved by Internal medicines, and
any tonic system of treatment that
stimulates activity of the functions
oan but result in aggravation of the
real ailment.
This Is a scientific truth, that we
have discovered, after careful study
and observation In hundreds of
cases, and Is a truth upon which
our cwn original system of treat
ment is based. We employ neither
tonics, stimulants nor electric belts.
We treat chiefly by local methods,
and our success In curing even
those cases where others have
failed is conclusive evidence that
our method affords the only possi
ble means of a complete and radii
cat cure.
'Contracted Disorders
The Importance of quickly curlnl
contracted disorders is being morl
fully recognized among tne meaic:
profession. The tendency of thesl
diseases is gradually to extenl
backward. Involving in a chronil
inflammation the most vital center!
of the organic system. The serloui
results that may follow can scarcell
be exaggerated. Safetr demands
an absolute, thorough cure in ttl
least possible Ume. We. havl
treated more cases or contracted
disorders than any other physlclal
or institute in the northwest, uu
cures are thorough, and are
compllsiieu in less time than othcj
forms of treatment require in pnl
mucins even doubtful results. Wl
employ remedies of our own devil
ing. and our treatment Is eaualli
effective In both recent and chronl
cases.
Varicocele
We cure every case
of varicocele we
treat, and our treat
ment Is entirely in
dependent of sur
gery. Our method
is our own. and It
cures in every In
stance. Others must
operate because they
have been unable to
adopt our system
successfully. Our
treatment is pain
less, harmless and
prompt In curing.
The patient .need not
be detained from his
occupation a single
day.
Stricture
In our treatment for
this disease mild and
harmless methods
have again triumph
ed over surgery. We
cure without pain
and without cutting
or dilating. The ob
structive tissue Is
dissolved, and all af
fected membranes
thoroughly cleansed
and restored to a
healthy state.
