They are all left out." Representative Qault flounced around on the floor of the House and got real angry. Orton's bill to prescribe forms of petitions and methods of elections under. the Initiative and referendum was up for passage. "Where are my amendments to that blllT" he asked in a still louder voice, and the House roared 'with laughter. Speaker Harris brought back order with his gavel and Ooult sputtered Indignantly, "Some body has played a trick on me," and he looked around wildly for the amendments. The bill has been In the House nearly a month. It provided as first drafted that persons Interested in any measure tinder the initiative and referendum might prepare pamphlets for or against the measure' to be distributed by the Sec re tary of State, Gault, by persistent work on the. committee on elections, had an amendment Inserted providing that such arguments instead of being Issued In vpamphlet form should be printed In not lees than two newspapers in each county, Gault Is publisher of a newspaper at Hlusbpro. When the bill .was considered In committee of the whole yesterday the original bill was slyly worked In aftexl busy at the time with a lobbyist, did not notice what was going on. The bill was adopted in committee of the whole and when the clerk was reading it today prior to passage Gault suddenly perceived the game that had been played on him. At once he dived down under his desk and brought up his fllo of bills which he pawed over with nervous haste. Jumping to nil reet no vented himself in the ex clamations above noted. "This may be a laughing matter." he cried, "but Just at present I cannot see wnere the laugh comes in. I did not sup pose anybody would play such a trick on me." "ffhtn .the bill was discussed yester 'day." said Eddy, soothingly, "a lobbyist was busy with the gentleman, probably Explaining the portage road." Gault vras still standing, though seemingly- tongue-tied, and Speaker Harris asked: "Do you yield the floor, Mr. Gault?" "Ob, yes; I might as well, because I've been tricked." "When liame Gault's turn to vote on the bill be rose to explain. "I like tp have In a bill what Is put into it. I vote no." and his "no" was the most emphatic one 'beard in the house for many a day. Qault was visibly agitated. Seizing W. S. TTRea, of Oregon City, by the arm he ex claimed: "Oct outside the bar. You're to blame for this." N The Indignant gentleman put 'not only TTRen, but Frank Williams, of Ashland, outside the bar. "They were lobbying on the floor of the House." he declared. Webster immediately moved to extend the courtesies of the house to ITRen. The motion carried and ITRen took his seat Immediately in front of Gault. U'Ren Is on of the authors of the original bill. "I guess m have to send home for a guard Ian," remarked Gault tonight after he had cooled down. The bill passed with six negative votes. RECORD OF THE OREGON LEGISLATURE DISGUISED AS IXDIAJS8.

A little episode connected with student life has just taken place at the university and has excited no little amount of interest and gossrp among the students. It would not be looked upon as extraordinary for seniors to fall despe rately In love, nor would the average stu dent think much about It. If occasionally he would And some of the lower class men manifestly In love, but the rub comes when it is publicly announced that a sophomore has actually married a freshman. For the past few years Baker City has had in attendance at the uni versity a goodly number of students, among whom can always be found some who surpass the ordinary student. V. V. Sparks, a young man from Baker City, came to the university last year and took up a course In mining engineering. Among tne new students from Baker City this year was Miss Daisy Nelson, a very charming young lady. Before she had been In attendance two weeks a number of young gentlemen bad began to take special Interact In her. But when Sparks arrived a week later everybody saw that he was the man and it was useless for others to come near. From his arrival, Sparks was a constant, dally caller. But a surprising event took place just before the Christmas holidays, when Miss Nelson told her girl friends that she was so lonesome and homesick that she must return borne. Soon after she reached Ba ker City, she decided that It rained too much at Eugene and that was the reason why she did not remain In college. Sparks continued and took his mid-year examin ations during the first week of February. But as there were several days before the second semester, he left Immediately for his home. As soon as ho reached his destination, letters were received by students In Eugene announcing that Sparks had gone on the mission ot mat rimony and that the brlde-to-ba was Miss Nelson. Mr. and Mrs. Sparks arrived In bugene Tuesday night and when Mr. Sparks made 1 his appearance on the campus "Wednesday morning wearing a broad grin, he was greeted with a multi tude of hearty handshakes and awkward congratulations. However, he appeared not in the least embarrassed, realizing full well the force of the surprise. Though Mrs. Sparks may again become home sick, and the climate may be too damp for her, yet air. and Mrs. Sparks will re side In Eugeno while Mr. Sparks con tinues his work at the university. Some students are planning a serenade for them Friday night. If the proper "mu sical" Instruments can be obtained for the occasion. era ting with a gang of white men. and a determined effort will be made to break up. the operations.

PERMANENT CURES FOR MEN'S DISEASES "Weakness" We not only cure i weakness promptly, but we employ the only treatment that cures this disease permanently. It Is principally a system of local treatment entirely original with us, and is employed by no physician oth-, cr than ourselves, al though many, owing to our success, copy our advertisements and to" to Imitate our methods. So called "weakness" la but a symptom of lo cal Inflammation or congestion, and a radical cure is mere ly a matter of restor ing normal condi tions throughout the" organic system, and this we accomplish thoroughly and with absolute certainty. Stricture Our treatment for this disease removes the necessity for sur gical operations, even In severe cases of long standing. We do no cutting nor di lating, and tbe serv ice we offer you Is original, and can only be had at our office. Do not give up hope because oth ers have failed. Wo will cure you, and the cure will be a prompt and painless one. Ours Is a home treatment that dur ing sleep dissolves and permanently re moves every obstruc tion from tho uri nary passages, sub dues all Inflamma tion, relieves all Irri tation or congestion that may exist In the kidneys or bladder, reduces enlargement of the prostate gland and restores health and tone to all the organs affected by the disease. DIl. W. XOnTOX AVIS, I Our knowledge as to the nature and requirements of all diseases peculiar to men Is thorough, for we have de voted H years of the best years of our life to the treat ment of these diseases alone. We have put atudy and con science Into all our work. Wc have treated thousands of men. and have cured every curable complication or condition. Through the knowledge gained by our vast experience, which has been unusual, both in quan tity and quality, we have been able to perfect methods of treatment that mark a distinct advance In the sci ence of medicine. We have cured, are curing and shall ;ontlnue to cure such cases as no other reliable physicians will attempt to cure. There fore, we especially Invite those who have been long afflicted to consult us. In no instance will we urge our services, nor will we attempt a case In which we feel the least doubt as to our ability, to effect a thorough and last ing cure. Contracted Disorders Improper treatment of contracted dis eases can easily bring loss of power. An examination re veals this very cause In a large portion ot the cases of weak ness. Lingering In flammation center ing In the prostate gland Is sure to re sult In disordered functions, and the condition will never be corrected until the Inflamed and swollen gland is restored to its normal state. We thoroughly cure ev ery contracted dis ease we treat. The remedies we employ differ from those used by others, and no other nhvsiclana have as yet produced equally prompt and thorough, cures. Varicocele Every case of vari cocele we treat proves the superior ity of our mild and harmless method and folly of resorting ' to surgery. The treatment we employ Is distinctively our own. and can be had of us only. There la no pain or cutting, and the patient need not be detained a single day from his business. Do not, submit to a knife or hospital expenses when a complete cure can ba had at home and without danger. Piles Wo are constantly curing piles that oth er physicians have been unabla to re lieve. It matters not how severe or how long standing the af fliction is. we will permanently and surely cure every case that comes to us. for treatment. Consultation and Advice Free at offlce or by mall.
