SEATTLE MAKES A JUMP
OASOOAKD JS HUSTLED OUT
OF
SJlcjne Flsber'ji Senators Plar tne
Brovrns This Week-Cland
Schmeer Is Released.
Parke "Wilson took Pete Xohman into
camp yesterday, and by doing so 'jumps
into fourth place, leading the Athenians
by lour points and the Browns by 11
While the teams are in the second divi
sion, it must not be lost sight of that
the race between these three teams is very
close.
For one brief and enjoyable few hours
the Browns crawled, over, the back of the
Siwashes, but the Indians would not be
denied, and when Los Angeles came to
their town they proceeded to take the Loo
Loos into camp, Just as did the Browns.
Lohman, of course, will not lose the series
to the Siwashes; not if Pete can help
himself. And if Portland can keep the
Senators from duplicating their former
victorious visit here, they win sianu a
show of getting out of the cellar.
All the talk about that $1000 fine and the
blacklistlne which the Pacific National
League threatened to inflict on all play
ers in the Pacific Coast League after
May 15 seems to have been Just what The
Oregonian predicted it was at the time
froth for Hannlvan and Ziegler, two for-
mpr nlavers on Parke Wilson s team,
have found berths with Pacific National
League teams. Hannlvan is playing with
Tacoma, and Ziegler is with Helena. This
does not speak well for that "nomDie"
punlshment which the National people
were going to hand out to all players who
dared to play in the Coast League.
Kostal and Engle have found jobs with
the Roseburg team, and both have won
games.
Mlaue Fisher's Senators, tired, but
ready to continue their struggles for first
place In the Pacific Coast League pennant
race, will engage the Browns in a series
of sir games this week, and baseball
equally as fast as, that furnished during
the Los Angeles series Is sure to follow.
Fisher's "Tads" will arrive this morning,
with the exception of Doyle, who
made a mistake when he Joined issues
with the ground-keeper at San Francisco.
Doyle -will be with the team, but, if stor
les from the Bay City are true, he will
bo out of the game for several weeks.
He Injured his hand trying to knock the
grouna-Keepers neaa oil
The Brown management again brought
the pruning-knlfe into use, and this time
It was Claud Schmeer who was presented
with his release. Schmeer's knee went
back on him during the first Los Angeles
series, and since then he hasnotbeen able
to get back into the game. Schmeer, when
he Is Jit himself, Is one of the best short
stops in the business, and but for the mis
forttmo to his knee, he would have been
the ranking shortstop of the league.
Schmeer tried hard to get into condition.
but the Injury was such that only time
could cure it. Some timo ago, when he
found that it would be many weeks, per
haps a couple of months, before he could
nlay. he requested the management to
give him a month's rest without salary,
and then at the expiration of a month.
if he could not play, he was to be re
leased at his own request. Schmeer went
into the game on Saturday. His heart
was all right, but his knee was still too
weak to stand the strain of fast foot
work, and he gave up trying to play.
The injury, which started from a sprain.
has threatened to develop Into "water on
the knee," and, in spite of care, has no
"yielded to treatment. Schmeer's home is
in Portland, and he will perhaps go into
business for himself. He has had several
offers to Join teams flaying- in the near
ly towns, but he will first devote his
time to resting his knee.

The two yachts sailed on practically

Southern Rhode Island shore, with sheets
well flattened, and it was not until half

BAD DAY FOR BLACK BASS.
Sunday Fishermen Catch, Fevr Fish
in the Slough.
The majority of the largo number of
persons wno went nsmng ior oass on
Sunday did not find it a very favorable
day. Many say they did not get a blto
from a fish, but plenty from mosquitoes
The fortunate ones are entitled to first
place. Frank N. Scott a youngster who
lives near Columbia Slough, below tne
Vancouver railway, caught 18, mostly of
fair size, but It Is said that by much
practice he has acquired some ways of
luring and catching bas3 which are hot
generally known. Dr. E. Dow. Connell
went down to Guild's Lake, and between
10 A. M. and 4 P..M. caught 15 bass, us
ing fish worms for bait Beal brothers
made aflne catch of bass at their game
preserve, bagging 42 in all, quite a num
ber of them weighing four to five pounds.
One whose religious proclivities pre
vent him from fishing on Sunday took
a trip out to the slough on that day to
see how many fishermen were there and
what they were doing.
He met a barber who had often reaped
the stubble on his chin, just beyond
Woodlawn, on his way home, lugging
a string of four dozen catfish, bathed in
perspiration and covered with glory and
mud.
When the Inquisitive gentleman reached
the slough ho found people, many of
them women, Ashing in every point and
at every drift and the brush was full of
bicycles and lunch baskets, but very few
fish had been caught - There are still
half a dozen sloughs where there should
be only one, and the fish are scattered
over all creation. When the water has
fallon a little more the fishing will be
better, as there are plenty of fish Jump
lng or stirring up the mud in shallow
places which will get back Into the reg
ular channel. Only one fine bass was
seen on the trip, and the man who
caught It was exhausted. Some say the
bass in the slough are the "lake"
"green bass," and not the black bass,
They are certainly more green than
black, but some say when they get into
swift water up the stream where the
water is overshadowed by trees, they
turn darker In color, and maintain that
they are without doubt the "big-mouthed
black bass." All agree that they are
very gamey, and splendid eating.
-SIUMttOCK'S RATTLING PACE.
Challenger Sails Over Cup Course in
Fast Time.
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. J., July
20. Ten miles an hour for 30 miles, wind
ward and leeward, was the rattling pace
set by Sir Thomas Llpton's cup-challenger
in & race with Shamrock I In the waters
of the international race-course off Sandy
Hook lightship today. The challenger
exact time for 30 miles was 2:59:20, very
nearly record time for a cup event and
on a par with the Reliance's splendid per
formance off Newport in June, when the
American yacht covered SO niiles In less
than three hours.
Shamrock Hi's windward leg today was,
however, not a beat to windward. A shift
in the wind at the start made it possible
for her to fetch from the starting line to
within two miles of the turn quicker time
than if she had to beat all the way. Her
reach of 15 miles In 1 hour, 9 minutes and
8 seconds, an average pace of rising 13
miles, is near the record for a cup race.
Despite her splendid performance -she
beat Shamrock I by only one minute 22
seconds elapsed time, but the new boat
had lost at least two minutes by tho part
ing of her jib topsail sheet when she was
four miles from the finish line. The race
was sailed in a splendid wind rising from
10 knots at the start to 15 at the finish,
and a good part of the time the yachts
wero dragging their lee rails through the
froth from under their bows.
The yachts were preparing for another
brush when Sir Thomas received notice
from the Associated Press by De Forest
wireless that the pope was dead. Sir
Thomas immediately stopped the racing,
and tonight the Erin's flag remains at
half mast
Tragedy of the Woods.
Cottage Grove Nugget
Last week a tragedy of tho woods was
witnessed by Foster Phillips and Silas
Gibbs, who were fishing above the Phillips .
homstead cabin on Mosby creeic The boys
had gona.up the etream and were fishing
Mown, when they heard the bleat or a.
deer. Turning around they discovered a
big buck In the water a short distance
uo the creek, with a Huge gray umoer
wolf standing guard and watching his
chance to kill the deer. The boys were
lthout guns of any description, and.
therefore, were no protection to the deer.
Whenever the deer would" attempt to get
to the shore the wolf would head him oft
and make him take to dsep water again.
This was kept up for some time, when the
deer was taken at a disadvantage and
killed In an instant. The boys state that
tho wolf was a monster, and when they
made efforts to drive him away from the
deer he stood his ground and acted as
though he would just as soon add a man
or two to his dinner as not. The boys
made up their mind that they didn't care
for venison anyway and contented them
selves with taking a few more trout.

BUTTE. Mont. July 20. A Miner spe

all Is quiet there tonight and there Is
little likelihood of an attack being made
on the jail tonight to liberate McLoud,
the alleged murderer of Mlnnlck, tne
sheepman.
Captain Blake, with a command of 40
artillerymen and the Basin Light Bat
tery, arrived this afternoon at Basjn, af
ter a forced march, and tonight they are
camped before the Jail on guard. The
soldiers are reinforced by scores of heav
ily armed sheepmen, who have answered
tho Sheriffs call for help.
Tho cattlemen are still maKlng ugly
threats and It 1b believed that an attempt
will be made to ambush Sheriff Fenton in
tho mountain canyons when he attempts
to remove McLoud to Basin, where the
cattlemen declare tho prisoner will be
lynched by the same gang that killed Gor
man and Walters. They say they will
rescue McLoud at all hazards. Guns are
pointing out of every window of the

the clash in town has been averted.

WHISTLER'S LAST WORK.
He Painted Portrait of Canfleld, the
Gambler, as "His Reverence.'
NEW TORK. July 20. Probably the
last portrait completed by the late James
McNeill Whistler was named "His Rev
erence" by the artist. The original is
Richard A. Canfleld. of this city, the
well-known sporting man.
Whistler gave Canfleld the last sitting
on the afternoon of May 15, in the study
of his London residence, and the portrait
was finished some time last month. It is
supposed to be resting now on the easel
on which it .was painted. Canfleld is In
Saratoga. A dispatch from that city
quotes him as saying of the painter,
whom he had known for many years
"I see there Is some speculation there
as to the disease that carried him off,
owing to the reticence of the family.
Among those who knew him well there
Is no doubt as to the cause of death. It
was heart disease. He discovered that
he had a weak heart In Holland last
vear. when he was there with Colonel
Charles L. Freer, of Detroit, who has,
by the way, the finest and most com
plete collection of Whistler's etchings In
the world. Whistler gave me my first
sitting for the portrait In the Spring of
1902, just after he closed his studio in
Paris and returned to London. He gave
me several sittings, and then, as I had
to come home, tho work was laid aside
until I should return to London the fol
lowing year.
"I had my first sitting on New Tear's
day of this year. He had changed great
ly in the 12 months that had passed. :
commented on his appearance, but his
reply showed that he was very sensitive
-on that score and so ever after that I, as
did all his friends," told him he looked
stronger and better every time I saw
him. and that was every day until
sailed for New Tork in May. He was
not at work, however, on all those days.
Infact there were days at a time when
ne couia uo nuiumi, uui nu on u. coucn
and talk as only Whistler could talk,
about those things which interested him.
"In spite of all that has been said of
him. I know that Whistler was one of
the intensest Americans who ever lived,
He was not what you call an enthusias
tic man. but when he reverted to tho
years he spent at "Vest Point, his en
thusiasm was infectious. I think he was
really prouder of the years he spent there
than any others of his life."

riety of exhibit. The Carnival, however,
being so close to our store, we decided to
hold our exhibit here, and the amount that
we would have spent In the Woodmen Car- 1
nival for advertising, the erection of a
booth, etc., etc, we are giving our cus
tomers. It is our desire to have this ex
hibit as closely Identified with the Carni
val as if it were actually within the
grounds, hence the "Woodmen's emblem,
the ax, in nine pianos which signifies the
payment of J25 to the first purchaser se
lecting an instrument from any one of tho
nine lines.
ONLY FOUR LEFT
The popularity of our pianos and the
confidence of the people in our statement
has been again demonstrated by the im
mense success of this W. O. W. contest.
In setting aside nine lines on which to
make the cut of $25, we felt safe In calcu
lating this number of prize pianos would
be sufficient But with the Carnival
scarcely half over we now have only four
of tne pianos with the axes in tnem re
maining. This gives the next purchaser
cuances out of 26. the next one 6
chances out of 26, the next 2 chances out
of 26. the final one a single chance of the
26 to secure S25 off the price of a fine
piano.
As the Indications aro very slim for
these pianos holding out more than a day
or two longer, and as this contest has
been so very successful we feel we can
make this

W. Carnival may be as full of Interest

MEN CURED
OF WEAKNESS, VARICO
CELE, STRICTURE,
ETC.
DR. W. NORTON DAVIS
The tendency of men to neglect
minor ailments is responsible for
many a blighted life. Happiness and
safety demand that skilled medical
ald"be sought upon tho first mani
festation of weakness or other dis
order In men. Neglect means the
oncoming aggravated condition that
will In time involve the general con
stitution. During our 21 years as
specialists In men's diseases we
have met with every possible com
plication of private ailments. Our
success in effecting permanent cures
has never been approached. We
have acquired the understanding
arid perfected the methods that en
able us to accomplish results, such
as havo been regarded as im
possible. "Weakness"
Functional derangemtKts, com
monly termed "weakness," are a
direct result of Inflammation, en
largement of or excessive sensi
tiveness of tho 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
can 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 own 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 havo
failed Is concluslvo evidence that
our method affords the only possi
ble means of a complete and radi
cal cure.
Contracted Disorders
The importance of quickly curing
contracted disorders is being more
fully recognized among the medical
profession. The tendency of theso
diseases Is gradually to extend
backward, involving in a chronic
inflammation the most vital centers
of the organic system. The serious
results that may follow can scarcely
be exaggerated. Safety demands
an absolute, thorough cure In the
least possible time. Wo have
treated more cases of contracted
disorders than any other physician
or institute in the Northwest Our
cures are thorough, and aro ac
complished in less time than other
forms of treatment require in pro
ducing even doubtful results. We
employ remedies of our own devis
ing, ana our treatment is equally
effective in both recent and chronic
cases.
Varicocele
We cure every case of varicocele
we treat, ana our treatment is en
tirely Independent of surgery. Our
method is our own. and it cures in
every Instance. Others must oper
ate because they havo been unable
to adopt our , system successfully.
Our treatment Is painless, harm
less 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 triumphed over surgery. We
cure without pain and without cut
ting or dilating. The obstructive
tissue is dissolved, and till affected
membranes thoroughly cleansed and
restored to a healthy state.
Specific Blood Poison
Others dose the system with min
eral poisons scarcely less danger
ous than tho disease Itself. The
best they hope to do by this treat
ment Is to keep the disease from
manifesting its presence upon the
surface of the body. Under our
treatment the entire system Is
cleansed. The last taint of virus
is destroyed. We employ blood-
cleansing remedies heretofore un
known in the treatment of thl3 dis
ease. They cure by neutralizing
and absolutely destroying the poison
in the system. Such cures cannot
be otherwise than complete and
permanent
PILES
Quick Cures Certain Cures
We' cure the worst case of PILES
permanently, without the use of
ointments, without pain, cutting or
detention rrom Dusiness, in irom
two to three treatments. Our
treatment Is entirely new and pe
culiar to ourselves. Remember, no
matter who has failed before in
your case, we will cure you with
mild methods and without danger
or else make no charge whatever
for our services.
Should you live at a distance w
can treat you successfully at home.

FEE UNTIL A CURE IS
