LOCKED IN SALOON.
Salem Barkeeper,-Suspicious of Sun
day Patrons, .Demands Uames.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 29. (Special.) Al
though the matter may be held in abey
ance for an indefinite period, it is reason
ably certain that at least one more com
plainrwill be made against a local liquor
dealer for the alleged violation of the
Sunday-closing law. It will depend, how
ever, upon the outcome of the cases al
ready on record pending hearing.
xlt Is -understood that two parties who
gave their names as James A. French and
George O'Flyng went into a local Tesort
yesterday morning and endeavored to pur
chase a lunch and liquid refreshments.
"While being served, although in the res
taurant portion of the establishment, the
barkeeper, who was alone at the time
cleaning out the saloon, became suspicious
of them and demanded to know their
Identity. Upon receiving an evasive an
swer, it is said the waiter fastened the
door and informed them that they could
not' leave until they divulged their names.
After receiving what was termed a "lec
ture," the men finally gave up their
names, after -which they were escorted to
the front ddor of the restaurant and al
lowed to go helr way, apparently a much
frightened pair.
This morning James French appeared
before Justice of the Peace Turner and
signified his - desire to swear out a com
plaint, but upon the suggestion and advice
of the court he consented to let the mat
ter rest until, the 29 cases of the same
character, which are pending before the
court, be determined or disposed of.. The
court's reason for this recommendation
was that so many of the, cases had plied

Aberdeen electric line occurred when the

Sir passengers were on board, and al
though the car left the track and the

the. damage will amount to several hun

"WALLiA WALLA. "Wash., Aug. 20. (Special.) C C. Cram and wife celebrated
their 60th wedding- anniversary la this city today. The event wae made the occasion
for a family reunion and a few friends also enjoyed the hospitality of the Cram
home.
C C Cram and Miss Sarah M. Kereer were married -In Cranesvilte, Pa., Au

to Polk County, Or. In 1861 and 1862, Mr. Cram represented his. district fn the

place. Since that time, Mr. Cram has eptnt 16 years In Whitman County, the re

find. Asunany as five cases have been
reported In a single night. In fact, there
hasibeen a carnival of .burglaries and the'
officers have not been so busy in months
as now.
Burglars have confined themselves
iargely to the residence districts where,
there 13 almost no police protection. They
can work there unmolested and without
fear that a policeman will get In their
way. There .have been some burglaries
in the down-town district, rrnz tney navo
been ip the minority. One burglar has
been caught ana ne nas coniesseu iu sut
different crimes. The others have es
caped.
It Is the opinion of the cnier oi jfouce
and old nolice officers that more than one-
half of the house robberies have been done
by inexperienced or "chopper burglars.
The bungling way that many Jobs have
been done and the sort of loot carnea
away causes the officers to arrive at this
conclusion. There have been several in
stances, however, where the work has
unquestionably been done by experienced
men. They have refused to take anything
except money or Jewelry.
There have been 12 noia-ups in tno jasc
month. Five of these occurred in ono
night and four In another 24 hours, and
In one instance a victim was snot in tne
knee. No one has been arrested charged
with the crimes.
Saloon robberies and "drunk rolls," as
the police term them, have been 12. In
nearly every Instance the victim has been
found asleep In a chair or has been en
ticed by disreputable woman into-a side- j
room to be drugged and reuevea or nis

Tool thieves have been .busy. One box

KILLED FROM AMBUSH.
C.
C. Ellis Shot Down on Basket
Mountain for $70 He Carried.
PENDLETON, Or., Aug. 23. (Special.)
Christopher C. Ellis was shot down by an
unknown assassin Sunday afternoon half
a mile from Fletcher's sawmill, on Basket
Mountain, 16 miles southeast of Milton,
Or. The motive for the crime was evi
dently robbery, as Ellis had on his person
at the time of the crime $70 in gold, which
he had Just received in payment for labor.
Sheriff T. D. Taylor has gone to Basket
Mountain personally to investigate the
affair. The Coroner's jury this morning
was- unable to throw any light onthe
murder.
Ellis lived with Melinda Ellis, his wid
owed mother, in a small cabin near
Fletcher's mill. It was not thought ho
had an enemy In the world, and he never
associated much with other young people
of that locality. Ellis was unarmed when
shot down.
He left home shortly before 10 o'clock
Sunday morning. Less than half an hour
later George Selby, a-neighbor, found his
corpse lying where it fell, the top of his
head blown off with buckshot. The Coro
ner's jury Is of the opinion that the gun
was fired at short range. Footprints of
another person were found entering the
road half a mile back of the place where
Ellis was killed. The tracks did not stop
until they passed the body 50 yards. Then
they turned Into the woods and were lost.
Lit was found later where these same foot
prints emerged farther back, and were
finally obliterated In the dust of the main
highway.

SHAW IN SEATTLE
Secretary of Treasury Opens
Republican Campaign.
"LET ROOSEVELT BE ISSUE"
Reception Committee Went to Wrong
Dock, so yisltor Wandered About
the yater Front, Looking
for His Hosts.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 29. (Special.)-
Hon. Leslie- M. Shaw, Secretary of the
Treasury, -opened the Kepubllcan cam
paign in Seattle tonight, speaking before
an audience that crowded the Grand
Opera House- to overflowing. Secretary
Shaw's audience was enthusiastic to the
point of continually Interrupting him by
applause a "warm audience, as the the
atrlcal profession would term It; not the
wild, cheering crowd that greets a "spell
binder." The fact is that Secretary
Shaw's speech and manner of delivery
does not Invite a demonstration of wild
enthusiasm. He had a fund of dry hu
mor; a clear, pleasant voice and a de
livery that has something ministerial
about it. He is a speaker one delights to
hear, though anything but a noisy politl
cal orator.
The- keynote of Secretary Shaw's, ad
dress was sounded early. It was this
xhe Democratic party appeals to the
voter as a consumer; the Republican
party as a producer.
It was upon this text that he built up
.a strong argument in favor of a protect
ive tariff that ran through his entire
speech, cropping out even as he discussed
financial, territorial and trust questions.
if as a consumer a satisfactory price
can be found, then the Democrats claim
people will be happy and satisfied," he
elaborated upon his theme.
"If any one In the world can produce
goods cheaper than America, let us go
there. It Is Immaterial where It Is pro
duced so long as It is cheap. The Re
publican party, appealing to the producer,
declares In favor of saving the American
marKet and giving to the producer, be
he the man with labor to sell or the
man with manufactured goods, the high
est possiDie price.
Again secretary Shaw spoke of the
Democracy and Its changing platform.
declaring: "It seems to me the Demo
cratic leaders have manifested more anx
iety to discover an Issue upon which they
can win tneir campaign than -to teach the
people something they can do for their
own good.
Mr. Shaw's direct reference to the Presi
dent was brief. It was a declaration that
he welcomed the Democratic -claim that
Roosevelt would be the Issue in the cam
paign. He declared that Roosevelt's name
mentioned in any Democratic meetinc
west or the Aiieghanles would be greeted
oy cheers, then added:
No critic has said he is wanting in
integrity; no one has said he lacks cour
age; no one has said he can be controlled:
tney nave been unable to find anything
ne nas done which, measured by the re
suits, has been wrong."
Secretary Shaw leaves for Portland
Tuesday morning. He arrived In Seattle
on the Revenue cutter Grant, after hav
ing visited the Puget Sound Navy-yard
on his way to Tacoma. A reception com
mittee, headed by Mayor Balllnger, went
to the wrong dock tb tnreet the Secre
tary and he landed, alone with "W. M.
Imlay, his confidential secretary, without
any Idea of where he was to go. Dr.
Sweeney, a passer-by, saw him and di
rected him ' across ' the railroad tracks
toward the city. The reception commit
tee overtook him by running as he was
dodging through the railroad yards. A
trip on the bay( and a dinner at the Rai
nier Club were features of the entertain
ment. RUSHING FOR LAND.

Six years ago I had severe- uttack of
Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was laid up
in bed for sir months, and the doctors I
had did me no good. They changed med
icines every week and nothing they pre
scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be
gan the use of S.S.S. My knee and elbow
joints were swollen terribly, and at one
time my joints were so swollen and pain
ful that I could not close them when
opened. I was so bad that I could not
move knee or foot. I wasgetting discour
aged, you may be sure, when I began S. S.
S. , but as I saw it was helping me I contin
ued it, and to-day I am a sound well man
and have neveriiad a return of the disease.
S. S. S. purified my blood and cured me
of this severe case of Rheumatism after
everything else had failed. I have rec
commended it to others with good re
sults. R. H. Chapman.

flammation and pain are absorbed into the
blood and Rheumatism can never be con
quered till these are neutralized and fil

As Inevitable as the changing seasons of
the year is the change which comes to
every woman. And just as one anticipates
the changes of other seasons it Is wise to
anticipate this change of season and t re
pare for it. In this way the discomforts
and disasters suffered by many women at
the period of change can be. avoided or
overcome.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, a med
icine for every season of woman's life, will
entirely meet the needs of women at this
period of change. It cures the physical
ills and relieves the mental anxiety and
depression usually associated with this
critical period. It tranquilizes the nerves,
encourages the appetite and induces xe
freshinjr sleep.
FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BQ CURED.
Backed up by over a third of a centaty
of remarkable and nnifonn cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
ranted in offering to pay $$oo in legal
money of the United States, for any case
of Leucorxhea, Female Weakness, Prolap
sus, or Falling of Womb which they can
not cure. All they ask is a fair and reason
able trial of their means of cure.
