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. Late returns
from the districts of the province show 20
Conservatives returned, 17 Liberals, two
Socialists and one labor representative.
Two seats are still to hear from, Slmllka
meen and Skeena. 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. Four
men, who probably followed him from
Rltzvllle, Adams County, robbed Conrad
Amon of ?4G0 this afternoon, the proceeds
of a check he had Just cashed. Amon sold
some land at Rltzvllle. an. act which
probably attracted the robbers. On cash
ing the check, he thrust the bills Into hla
coat pocket and soon after entered a
meat and fish market on Second street
where four strangers Jostled round him.
He missed the money almost Immediately
after. There Is no clew. Amon is a Ger
man rancher, living In Walla Walla.
Lnckr Boy Mine Xot For Sale.
EUGENE, Or., Oct 5. (Special.) L.
Zimmerman, president of the Lucky Boy
Mining Company, came down from Blue
River today, bringing the regular monthly
clean-up of the mine. The bricks were
smaller than usual, valued at only $7500.
which Is due to the fact that the mills

they are not considering a sale of the
property, but have gone eo far and are
reaping such results that they could not
think of selling, as was recently reported.

SOFTNESS OF SEALSKIX.
Ia Rivaled by Htxman Hair Where
Dandruff In Eradicated.
Sealskin Is admired the world over for
Its softness and glossiness; and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy; and the radical cause of all
hair trouble Is dandruff, which is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps tht
vitality of the hair at Its root. Newbro's
Herplclde Is the only preparation" that Is
fatal to the dandruff crm. Without dan
druff there is no falling hair, but a luxuri
ant growth of glossy, soft hair is certain.
Scouring the 9calp won't cure dandruff.
Kill the dandruff germ. Thousands of
women owe their beautiful suits of hair
to Newbro's Kerplclde. Sold by leading
druggists. Send 10 cents in stamps for
sample to the Herplclde Co., Detroit, Mich.

TIE HABIT OF HASTE
AND THE SERIOUS RESULTS TO WHICH
IT OFTEN LEADS.
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.
