PORTLAND METHODIST PULPITS. 3Vevr Charges Taken lij- Populnr ' Pastors Tltcir Successors. Rev. "W. T. Kerr, who vacates the pul pit at the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, does not go to a new charge, as his somewhat broken state of health in a degree unfits him for active work the ensuing year. Mr. Kerr has been the pastor of Cen tral for a number of years and during his faithful administration there has ac complished much good. He succeeded In raising a large debt and has conducted the finances of the church in the most laudable manner. His retirement from this pulpit wlll.be sincerely regretted by all members of his congregation. Rev. F. L. Young is the new pastor of this church. I At Trinity M. E Church, the Rev. Al fred Thompson's removal will be keenly regretted by his many friends among the congregotlon. In 1901. when Mr. Thompson had occupied this pulpit but three months, the Oregon conference as 1 signed him to another charge In the city. but so satisfactory had been his conduct of the church affairs at Trinity that his congregation petitioned for his return. which petition was granted. He has since filled the duties of this pastorate most satisfactorily, but for various Teasons It was his Judgment that It would be wise to make a change, and requested his con gregation not to present the resolutions which they had drawn favorable to his return. Mrs. Thompson's departure will also be sincerely mourned, as she has en- 'deared serself to all, and is regarded as the most able pastor's wife in this dis trict. She is a hard and model church worker and has ever had the individual interest of all members at heart. Mr. Thompson is transferred to 'Lebanon and his place at Trinity Church will be occu pied by Rev. H. Oberg. Rev. F. L. Young, of the Clarke M. E Church, who will leave this pastorate for Central Church, has occupied this pulpit for the past two years, coming from Dallas, Or. He has proven most accept able in his conduct of spiritual affairs, and his congregation all express keen regret at his recall. This is a young and struggling pastorate and Mr. Young has been a faithful and earnest worker in Its upbuilding. His place will ,be taken by Rev. H. T. Atkinson, who will also have charge of the City Mission. CARRY OUT THEIR THREAT. Montana Dynamiter Blow Up .North ern Pacific Trade. HELENA. Mont, Nov. 6. The Northern Pacific suffered again last night from the work of the dynamiters. At 10:30 P. M., when an extra westbound freight was three miles west of Blrdseye, a .station eight miles west of Helena, the explosion occurred. As a result of It a portion of the tracks was blown out, the pilot of the engine was blown off and so was the headlight. Fortunately the engineer was able to stop the train quickly and thus prevent ts being ditched1. No one "vras "hurt but the roadbed was torn up badly and freight trains were tied up until repairs could be made. News of the outrage was received in Helena by the railroad detectives shortly after midnight and at 12:30 a special pulled out for the scene. Chief of De tectives McFetridge was in charge of the party, which was composed of several detectives and Sheriffs. In addition, the six bloodhounds that have been at the Helena station for several days were taken. Corvnllls' Xeir Hotel. CORVALLIS. Or., Oct. 5. Special.) Hotel Corvallls was. opened to the public by Mrs. Hammell, the lessee, tonight. The event was made the occasion of a large number of dinner parties by Corvallls families, and the elegant dining-room was crowded with guests. For about nine years the building, in an uncomplet ed state, has occupied a prominent site on Main street, and has been a source of regret to Corvallisltes. Its original pro moter failed before completing the struc ture, and the property passed Into liti gation, and in part into the ownership of an estate. Last year the place was pur chased by a Portland man, and Us final completion and Its opening tonight Is the result. Xot a "Worlcinf? Majority. VICTORIA, B. C, Oct. 5.

The latter Is conceded to the Conservatives on the Incomplete returns received, while, although nothing has been heard from the former district, the predictions favor the Liberals. Thl3 would give the Conservatives a majority of three, which is hardly sufficient to make a working majority. German Rancuer Robbed. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Oct 5.

Hastily Swallowed Food and Irregpet lar Meals Arc Sonrces of Muclx Suffering in This Conntryv One peculiarity of Americans upon which visitors from other countries comment is the habit of naste. This extends even to eating1. Meals are eaten hurriedly and irregularly; food is swallowed half masticated and the stomach Is unthinkingly neglected and abused to such an extent that nine tenths of our people are dyspeptic3. Take the case of Mrs. Ida M. Turro, th& wife of a prosperous farmer at Brain erd, Crow Wing County, Minn. Shes says; "Irregular meals and too hurried eat ing ruined my digestion and I was mis erable until, by the aid of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, I was cured I was in a very low state of health,, food ot any sort distressed me terribly,, gas formed in my stomach and it be came sore and bloated. Everything I ate seemed to turn sour. I suffered sc much when I ate that I had to almost starve myself. There was a pain in my heart, my bowels were constipated, X' felt chilled all the time and my flesh fell away till I was horribly thin. The doc--tor gave me medicine, but it did not help me, and I kept growing worse un til, at my mother's suggestion, I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pala People. They made me feel better very soon, and I kept on taking them till my stomach stopped bloating, the pain In' my heart disappeared and I became perfectly well again. I have recom mended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to a great many and will always speak of them In the highest terms of praise." Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills cure stom ach trouble by their tonic action, build ing up the digestive organs and en abling them to do the work that naturer intended them to do. Artificial fer ments and predigested foods weaken, the stomach in many cases. Medicines should not do thp stomach's work, but should put it in condition to perform its natural functions. A diet book giv ing useful information will be sent free on request by the Dr. "Williams Medi cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are sold by druggists, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dollars and a half.
