MUST GO TO PRISON
Britain Decides Against Greene
arid Gaynor.
CONDEMNS CANADIAN . JUDGE
Privy Council Holds Release of Fugi
tives Under Habeas Ccrpus Ille
galThey Will Be Extra
dited to United States.
LONDON. Feb. 8. The Privy Council
rendered Its decision thla morning In the
Greene-Gaynor case In favor o the
American Government. The Council re
verted the two judgments o Justice Ca
ron, of Quebec, August 13, 1902, and or
dered the respondents to pay the costs of
the appeal. The Council's decision criti
cises the action of Justice Caron in re
leasing Greene and Gaynor as "Caron's
extraordinary Intervention," and adds:
"Where a prisoner is brought before a
competent tribunal charged -with an ex
traditable offense and is remanded for
the express purpose of affording the pros
ecution an opportunity of bringing for
ward evidence whereby the accusation is
to be supported; if in such a case, on a
writ of habeas corpus, a learned Judge
treats a remand warrant as a. nullity
and proceeds to adjudicate the case as
though the whole evidence was before
him. it would paralyze the administration
of justice and render It impossible for
proceedings In extradition to be effective."
John R. Carter, Second Secretary of the
American Embassy, was present to hear
the decision, and also to watch the appeal
against the decision of the Supreme Court
of Canada in the case of the fishing
steamer Kitty Dee, captured by a Cana
dian cruiser on Lake Eric.
The decision simply reverses Justice
Caron's Judgments and leaves Greene and
Gaynor under remand as before Justice
Caron intervened.
The Privy Council this afternoon grant
ed the United States leave to appeal In
the Kitty Dee case, after the vessel is
'returned to the custody of the Canadian
court.
THEIR STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY
How Greene and Gaynor Dodged Pun
ishment and Extradition.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. &. Jonn F. Gay
nor and Benjamin D. Greene were Indicted
In Savannah, Ga., December S, 1S99,
charged with embezzlement and defraud
ing the "United States Government, to
gether with Captain O. M. Carter, In the
performance of Government contracts for
the improvement of the Savannah River
and other river and harbor work in that
district, the illicit profits being estimated
at 2,000.000.
Gaynor and Greene were arrested In
New York. They contested extradition to
Georgia, and when the United States
Commissioner decided that they must go
to that state and plead to the Indictments,
they fled to Canada. They had been at
liberty on $40,000 ball each, and this was
forfeited.
Efforts to extradite Gaynor and Greene
from Montreal were progressing favorably
and the extradition commission was sit
ting in Montreal when Gaynor and Greene
went to Quebec A question arose as to
whether they could be brought back, and
detectives knidnaped them and took them
to Montreal. There was a big legal fight
over this action, and a Quebec Judge
Issued a writ of habeas corpus, which
was served on the jailer at Montreal,
who delivered up the prisoners without
notification to the extradition tribunal,
and permitted them to be taken back to
Quebec. Efforts to quash the writ of
habeas corpus under which they had been
returned were denied by Justice Caron.
After a long legal controversy Gaynor
and Greene obtained their liberty within
the limits of the Province of Quebec.
The United States Government then ap
pealed to the Privy Council of England,
the highest court in that country.
WATCHED BY SECRET SERVICE
Greene -and Gaynor Will Be Arrested
and Taken to Georgia.
"WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. Although suf
ficient detail Is not yet before the law
officers horc to warrant a final opinion
as to the effect of the Privy Council's
decision in the Gaynor-Greene case, the
present understanding Is that It will re
sult In the immediate rearrest of Gaynor
and Greene, who are now at large In
Quebec under surveillance of "Washington
Secret Service officers. If the renewed
application for extradition is granted the
men will be taken to Atlanta, Ga., for
trial.
The officials feel that their hands have
been much strengthened In dealing wjth
extradition cases between the United
States and Canada by this particular de
cision, indicating as it does a disposition
on the part of the British authorites to
waive trifling technicalities and resolve
any doubts In the spirit of the extradi
tion treaty rather than in Its letter.
MUST RETURN THEM TO JAIL
Quebec Sheriff Will Now Take Fugi
tives Into Custody.
MONTREAL Feb. 8. Donald MacMas
ter, K. C, counsel for the United States
In the Gaynor-Greene case, refused to
discuss the next steps to be taken in the
case.
Judge La Fontaine. Extradition Com
missioner, before whom the case was
being heard on Its merits at the time
of the habeas corpus proceedings, said
today:
"Unless something unforeseen occurs
the Sheriff of Quebec will now have to de
liver the prisoners to Governor Vallee at
the Montreal jail, and they will then be
brought before me and the regular trial,
halted by the writ of habeas corpus, will
be recommenced. I shall then upon the
evidence submitted decide whether or not
there Is sufficient grounds for extradit
ing the accused."
Gaynor Has Nothing to Say.
QUEBEC, Feb. 8. The correspondent of
the Associated Press tried to obtain an
interview with Colonel Gaynor and Cap
tain Greene at their residences, but the
former stated that he had nothing to say,
as their case was In the hands of their
attorneys, whom they had not seen as yet.
POISON ON THE WEDDING RING
Doctor's Theory of Hoch's Method of
Killing Wives.
CHICAGO. Feb. S. Curare, the most
subtle and deadly poison known to mod
ern science, is believed by Dr. Joseph
Springer, formerly Coroner's physician,
to have caused the death of Johan Hoch's
wives.
Dr. Springer is convinced the fatal drug
probably was administered by means of
engagement or -wedding rings.
"By turning the Inner edge of the ring,"
said Dr. Springer today, "or making It
rough or sharp In any manner, applying
the curare on the rough edge and then
slipping the ring on the finger so as to
cause the slightest abrasion of the skin,
death would follow.
"It would only be necessary for the
slightest quantity of the poison to reach
the blood. One-sixtieth of a grain of cu
rare is fatal."
FRANCE WANTS ALL BUSINESS
Will Not Lend Turkey Money if She
Buys German Guns.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. S. Ger
many's victory in capturing the contract
for the rearmament o the Turkish
aritllery threatens to result In a serious
disturbance of Franco-Turkish political
relations. The French Ambassador hen;,
M. Constant, proposes to leave Constan
tinople soon for Paris to consult with
Foreign Minister Delcasse. Meanwhile
the Ambassador has" Informed the Turk
ish Government that the French market
is closed to any fresh Turkish loan.
Tewfik Pasha, the Foreign Minister,
tried to. compromise the matter, offering
to settle the -Syrian Railway question in
a manner, satisfactory to the French
claimants and to purchase equipment to
the amount of $2,300,000 In France. The
Ambassador, however, demanded the ex
penditure of $6,000,000, being one third of
the value of the new armament, with
French gun factories and the complete
satisfaction of the French demands re
garding the railroads. These terms the
Ambassador declared to be final, and not
receiving a reply February 6, the Am
bassador Informed the Turkish Govern
ment that he refused to continue the ne
gotiations, adding that the French mar
ket was clased to further Turkish loans.
As a result of this information,
the Ottoman Bank withdrew its propos
als for the projected loan and notified
the Minister of Finance, Reshed Pasha,
that ?t would not entertain any request
of the Government for the advances. The
Deutsche Bank then came to the Porte's
aid with an offer to assist the treasury.
The Germans are thus for the moment
in complete possession of the financial
field and an lrade has already been pro
mulgated ordering the purchase of all the
new guns In German factories, but It has
been decided only to rearm 60 batteries
at present, instead of 142, as originally
proposed.
PURELY MATTER OF BUSINESS
Frarrco-Turkish Dispute Does Not
Enter Into Politics.
PARIS, Feb. 8. The officials say the
complications with Turkey over the pro
posed loan and the ordering of guns for
the rearmament of the Turkish artillery
are more commercial than governmental,
although the authorities here are taking
an active intereet In the affair owing to
the magnitude of the French commercial
Interests Involved.
The official version of the situation is
as follows: Turkey, desiring a new loan,
offered to give a contract for 100 heavy
guns as an Inducement for securing the
loan. Thereafter a syndicate of German
banks undertook to float a loan and ar
range with the Krupps to furnish 100
guns. It recently developed that the
Krupps were not likely to be able to de
liver the guns within the time desired,
owing to the present extensive demand for
artillery. Thereupon Turkey again turned
to French banking and commercial quar
ters, which were unwilling to furnish the
loans without also furnishing guns. The
matter Is now pending, with the expecta
tion that the Porte at a meeting today or
tomorrow may decide to reopen the ques
tion with "the view to placing both the
loans and guns with French firms. In
the meantime. Ambassador Constant was
given large liberty of action, the steps he
has taken being in the main toward has
tening a favorable decision.
The officials continue to regard the
question as largely commercial, although
they are seeking to assist French in
terests. They state positively, that the
question does not Involve political com
plications. Germany Getting Solid With Turkey.
WASHINGTON. Feb. S. It Is known
that the French government has for" a
long time been concerned over the in
creasing activity of German interests in
the Ottoman Empire, and Germany's lat
est victorj' ln securing the contract for
the rearmament of the Turkish artillery
is looked upon as the culmination of a
series of German triumphs In Turkey,
which ln the opinion of some are due
to' the growing Intimacy of the Berlin
government with the Porte.

Indictment of Hamilton H. Hendricks
The Indictment of Hamilton H. Hen
dricks, secretary and treasurer of the
Butte Creek Land, Livestock and Lumber
Company of The Dalles, was due to sub
ornation of perjury" alleged to have been
accomplished on January 15.
It Is alleged In the indictment that
Hendricks procured George W. Hawks
and Clyde Brown, on January 15, In
Wheeler County, to appear before the
Grand Jury and swear that they had
taken up portions of land in Wheeler
County for their own use and benefit, and
not with the view of selling or tranefer
lng them to any company. Individual or
corporation for any compensation; that
the transaction was not a speculation;
that the homesteaders did not take the
land under contract to sell or transfer It
to another for a consideration. This tes
timony was given before the graud jury
on January 23, 1903.
This Indictment is the outcome in part
of the long-drawn-out investigation into
the workings of the Butte Creek Land
Company. It is said that many other In
dictments will be returned, some of them
covering similar ground while others will
have to do with the dealings of the com
pany, but in a different way.
This Butte Creek Company is the
Wheeler County corporation, which Is al
leged to have intimidated settlers, to have
fenced in thousands of acres of Govern
ment land to the exclusion of those who
would wish to lawfully use It or acquire
a part of It. and to have secured many
claims through fraudulent practices.
Meldrum and Others Charged.
Henry Meldrum Is indicted with George
Waggoner, former chief clerk In his office;
David W. Kinnaird, examiner of surveys;
Rufus S. Moore, a land surveyor, and
John W. Hamaker and Frank J. Van
Winkle, two notaries, for having entered
into a conspiracy on or about April IS,
1902, to defraud the Government by
fraudulent surveys.
It Is alleged in this Indictment that th
defendants took advantage of tho fact
that there had been filed in the office of
the Surveyor-General a number of false
and forged applications for survey. These
applications purported to be requests
from settlers in good faith that the lands
upon which they were living be surveyed,
but It Is alleged that the defendants knew
that the lands were arid and uninhabited.
It is alleged that In pursuance of this
conspiracy charged, and with the knowl
edge that the applications were false and
forged; Henry Meldrum let the contract
for the survey of the lands to Rufus S.
Moore, as a deputy surveyor. It Is further
alleged that George E. Waggoner, In pur
suance of the conspiracy, drew up a con
tract on April IS. 1902. at Portland, which
was signed by Henry Meldrum, and later,
on April 27. 1902, by Rufus S. Moore, ln
Klamath Falls.
It Is further alleged- that Rufus S.
Moore, on November 9, 1904. at Klamath
Falls, made out his account against the
Government for having done the work In
the sum of $3754.85.
Brownell Indictment Amended.
The fourth indictment, that against
George C. Brownell, for subornation of
perjury, which was returned yesterday,
was an amendatory document substan
tially the same as the previous charge
returned a week ago. It was thought
wise to make a slight change in the word
ing of the paper on technical grounds..
though the charge and the facts alleged
were exactly the same.
It Is rumored that the grand jury will
not keep quiet for the rest of the week,
but that other indictments will be re
turned today, perhaps of a more sensa
tional nature than those of yesterday.
The examination of the witnesses here to
the grand jury on January 31, 1905.
tlon with the land frauds is progressing
and many persons are now in the city to
appear before the jury. It Is thought,
however, that there will bo time for the
jury to return a few Indictments, as welf
as hear witnesses, in order that the end
of the week, or Monday at the latest, may
see the docket well cleaned up and the
Jury readv for adjournment.
AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Agents Say.
"SWEET LAVENDER," COLUMBIA
Audiences Increasing Nightly to Wit
ness Pinero's Charming Comedy.
The best proof of the real worth of a
play is the fact that tho size of audiences
increases every night as the week goes
by. "Sweet Lavender" at the Columbia
this week had a very good Monday night
audience, followed Tuesday by an unusu
ally well-filled house and Wednesday
night there was not a seat to be had on
the lower floor. This Increasing popular
lty can be due to but one thing, and
that is the great beauty and drawing
power of the play. "Sweet Lavender,
with all Its tenderness and pathos. Its
bright and clever comedy, appeals directly
to everyone, and the universal comment
as the large houses file out of the theater
at the close of the last act is that it is
one of the best plays ever seen at the
Columbia. Miss Countiss, arrayed In
dainty, chic gowns, tyas a light comedy
part in which she Is especially delight
ful. Howard Gould, the immensely popu
lar new leading man, has a part re
sembling his great work In "Puddln Head
Wilson" last season, and has made an
Immense hit this week, while 'dainty little
Fay Wallace, as Lavender, has simply
won the army of Columbia patrons with
her sweet and naive ways and pretty
face. "Sweet Lavender" will continue
until Saturday night, after which it will
give way to "Quo Vadls."
"Niagara Falls" at Empire.
The mechanical effects, the mountings
and the scenery of "Over Niagara Falls"
are all of a high character, the cast is
large and made up of most capable play
ers, and it is a pleasure to note that Port
land theatergoers are cognizant of this
fact. Last night's audience was tho larg
est Tuesday night assemblage since
"The Show Girl" danced and frolicked at
the Empire. "Over Niagara Falls" will
be the bill for the entire week, including
a matinee next Saturday.
THE BRANDT-BAUME OPENING
New Company Makes Its Initial Ap
pearance Next Sunday.
In "Lovers' Lane," to be presented by
the new company, with Edgar Baume and
Louise Brandt in the principal roles, one
can find a beautiful story, wholesome,
-with characters not overdrawn, but ro.tl-
' Istlc The play Is particularly well wrlt
! ten In the sense that it runs smoothly,
one situation following another, bringing
new characters Into the play constantly
until at the end, which, by the way. Is
a decidedly happy ending, you have count
ed 22 characters, and some 20 school chil
dren. The management has endeavored
to make the initial performance of the
Brandt-Baume company an event which
will place the standard of excellence at
the highwater mark In the history of
local theatricals.
"Lovers' Lane" will be the attraction
at the Empire Theater for the entire week
of February 12. with the usual Saturday
and Sunday matinees.
"QUO VADIS," SPLENDID LESSON
Powerful Religious Play Next Week
at the Columbia.
The great' spectacle of the burning of
ancient Rome by the tyrant Nero is one
of the most weird and awful pictures ever
produced on the stage. This will be one
of the many awe-lnsplring scenes from
"Quo Vadls at the Columbia next week.
The awful persecution of the first little
band of Christians Is most vividly por
trayed, and the entire play is but a
lesson on the beginning of our Christian
religion, with the color and effects that
can be obtained by means of a strong
company of artistic players, and the
mysterious and beautiful surroundings of
the modern stage. "Quo Vadls" will start
Sunday afternoon. Already the demand
for seats indicates an unusual desire for
grand spectacular and religious plays.
"Shaun Rhue" Tomorrow Night.
Stories of Irish land troubles, filled with
intrigue on the part of agents and out
rages UDon tenants, have been told time
and again upon the stage, "but no one of
these nlany narratives are superior to the
recital of "Shaun Rhue" by Joseph Mur
phy, which he will present at the Mar
quam Grand Theater tomorrow (Friday)
evening. This play Is natural, consistent
and thrilling, without the struggle for ef
fect which Is so common ln other Irish
plays. In "Shaun Rhue" the situations
are clever, pathos vies with wit and hu
mor, and true Irish loyalty and big
heartedness seasons all, from the time
Joseph Murphy, as Larry Donovan, en
ters the door of the Donovan cottage un
til, disguised as "Shaun Rhue." he cir
cumvents and exposes the wretched plots
of the two Calligans and restores his
sister Kate and himself to their rights.
The scenery consists of successive bits of
art, faltnful to the nature of the Emerald
Isle, while Larry's singing of his famous
song. "A Handful of Earth," Is exception
ally pathetic and effective. "Kerry Gow"
will be the play this evening.
Sale for "Bonnie Brier Bush."
Next Mondav. Tuesdav and Wprinpsriav
nights, February 13, 14, 15, the Marquam
vrana j. neater promises a memorable en
tertainment to the patrons of that play
house, from the fact that It brings to our
city "The Bonnie Brier Bush," with J. H.
Stoddart In his last appearance as Lach
lan Campbell. This is the fourth year of
Mr. Stoddart's portrayal of the stern old
Scotch shepherd, and the announcement
of his retirement at the end of the pres
ent season will be received with sincere
regret by all who have witnessed his ex
cellent interpretation of this exacting
role. A notable supporting company has
been engaged by KIrke La Shelle to assist
ln this farewell tour, and an excellent
presentation of this charming Scotch play
can be expected. Reuben Fax continues
as the rollicking postman, Archibald Mc
Klttrick, the predominating comedy char
acter of .the piece. The advance sale of
seats will open tomorrow, Friday morn
ing, at 10 o'clock.
Exhibition of Jiu-Jitsu.
Several well-known athletes have sig
nified their desire to try conclusions with
the wiry Japs. General Nil and his Jap
anese company will give a performance at
Rlngler's Physical Culture hall Monday
evening, February 13, showing the much
discussed Jiu-Jitsu. The advance aale
opens February 10, at the hall.
AT THE VAUDEVILLE HOUSES
Trained Bears at the Star.
Trained bears are making the biggest
kind of a hit at the Star Theater this
week. Professor Robert! controls these
savage animals like a wizard, and as he
waves his wand they dance, sing and
talk, and even ride bicycles. The two
Cardownle Sisters do one of the neatest
llghtnlng-chnnce acts In
.masquerading in brilliant costumes of
many nations. Jiagerton and Edgerton
on their unicycles also contribute a nov
elty act that Is sensational in its sur
prises. Jennie Gray, a graceful dancer;
Daisy Vernon, soprano; Ward, Lester and
Company In a funny farce, and the pro
jectoscope make up. a bill that is full of
entertaining features.
Strong Bill at the Grand.
There is no mistaking the great hit
made by the Danny Mann Companv In
the vaudeville classic. "Mandy Hawki"ns4"
For fine extra setting, keen humor and
gentle pathos it would be hard any
where, to find the superior to this beauti
ful sketch. The Luelfers .ilsn hnvn morio
a most favorable Impression. The eight
otner acts are splendid In their way.
The universal opinion has been that this
week's bill is the very best the Grand
has yet offered to its patrons here.
ADMITS BREAKING LAND LAWS
Witness irtt Civil Suit Testifies He
Made False Affidavit.
As the result of a suit brought by O. M.
Stafford, a timber cruiser, against Will-
lam Isensee for the recovery of $100, al
leged to be due the fornfer for service
rendered In locating a timber claim in
Lewis County, It developed that the de
fendant had filed upon the land without
first having visited the land and ascer
taining the nature of the claim, all of
which Is contrary to the Federal statutes.
The trial was held before Judge Sears,
of the Circuit Court, and it was while
Isensee was testifying In his own behalf
that he admitted having subscribed false
ly to an affidavit In the United States
Land Office at Vancouver, Wash. Staf
ford first took the witness stand and re
lated the story of an agrement between
the defendant and himself that Isensee
pay the sum of $150 for Information of
the claim about to be located. Of the
amount alleged to be due $50 was paid at
the time, but the defendant has since re
fused to pay the balance, it is said. Staf
ford also testified that the claim was
worth at least $2000, and In this he was
corroborated by Edward Turney and
other witnesses.
Isensee told the court that, after filing
his claim at the Land Office, he visited
the land and discovered it to be worth
less. This was also the story of Julius
Bremer and Charles Merritt, who admit
ted that they had taken some of Uncle
Sam's timber land without first having
visited it, and later had discovered that
they had been taken in by the cruiser.
Judge Sears took the case under advise
ment, and will render a decision at a
later date.

direction of Lois Steers and Wynn Coman.
Leonard Liebling. in a letter from Ber
lin after De Pachmann had appeared there
ln recital, wrote: "Seldom have I seen an
audience so demonstrative In Its applause,
so bent on seeing and learning more of a
pianist after the completion of his regu
lar recital programme, as that which sur
rounded the platform after the conclusion
of Vlademlr de Pachmann's concert at
the Singakademle.
"It would not be possible to play more
beautifully, more lusciously, more poet
ically, more whimsically, more daintily
than De Pachmann. The Etude In thirds
was the most sensational performance I
.have ever neard on a piano. De Pach
mann Is one of the few pianists who un
derstands Chopin's mazurkas, and under
his fingers they become sources of purest
and most spontaneous musical delight.
Pachmann's art Is that of the miniature
painter. He loves the piano too well to
pound: he must needs caress. It Is given
Pachmann not only to Interest an audi
ence, but also to fascinate It. The do
main of Chopin Is pre-eminently Pach
mann's own. In It he has no compeers."

TAKES LUMBER TO CHINA
NOMIA CHARTERED BY PACIFIC
EXPORT COMPANY.
Disengaged Fleet In Portland Re
duced to Two Vessels Bids for
Construction of Steamer.
The German bark Nomia. which has
been In port since September 29, was
chartered yesterday by the Pacific Ex
port Lumber Company to carry a cargo
of lumber to China. Her engagement
leaves but two unchartered vessels ln
the harbor, the Dumfriesshire and the
Christel. The former has been here
since August 29, the latter arriving
two weeks ago.
The fixing of the Nomia for lumber
business adds a fourth vessel to the
fleet of foreign sailers taking cargo
at the lumber docks here and makes
the ninth craft of this kind chartered
for this purpose since July last. The
opening afforded by the foreign lum
ber' demand and the lack of steamers
has given employment to these ships
which otherwise would have been
compelled to lie up until next season,
for not enough grain was exported to
give them all charters. The fleet of
what is classed as graincarriers which
have sailed with lumber or are prepar
ing to sail will take out from here
something over 16,000,000 feet of this
Oregon product. The vessels and
their cargoes are as follows, the last
four still being in port:
Feet.
German ship Elfrlcda 1,370,500
British ship Durbridse 1.873.039
British ship Hampton 1.236.410
German bark Anna 2.3SS.703
British ship FalrporU 1,78.723
German ship carl i,w,ww
Briflah bark Holt Hill 1.000.000
British ship Oweence 1.1HW.000
German bark .Nomia i.sw.uw
It Is not probable that the two ships
remaining on the disengaged list will
be taken for grain loading, as the
freight market is so low that nothing
but a subsidized French vessel could do
business on a Hs rate. It Is under
stood that a gralp cargo is here await
ing" shipment, but the difficulty seems
to be to find a vessel to transport it.
BIDS FOR GOVERNMENT BOAT
Two Lowest Tenders Are Made by Se
attle Firms.
SEATTLE, Feb. S. Quartermaster
Frank Grant today opened 11 tenders
for the construction of an artillery
boat for use In the harbor of San
Francisco. The bids were received
from points as far distant as San Fran
cisco and ranged from $24,000 to $58,
000. Seattle submitted the two lowest
bids, all of which have been mailed to
Washington. The competing firms

he ate meat, bread, eggs or anything of
that sort, he kept losing flesh, until he
got down to a skeleton, and. of course,

"One day a friend advised him to quit
his regular breakfast entirely, and use
'only Grape-Nuts and cream together with
a little fruit.
"He took the advice and begun to grow
better at once. It was only a short time
when he began to fatten up and grow
stronger. Now he Is the picture of health

TESTS SIGHT OF HGMESTEADEB
Suit Filed Involving Right to Make
Two Land Entries. r
A suit Involving the right to take up two
parcels of Government land was filed In
the United States Court yesterday with
George W. Jones plaintiff and Charles E.
Hoover, defendant.
The complaint filed by Jones alleges
that under the act of Congress which
provided for the allotment of lands to
the Indians residing upon the Umatilla
reservation and which further provided
that upon the establishment of the new
boundary lines the residue of the reser
vation should be appraised and classified
into timber and untimbered lands and
sold to settlers, he, the, plaintiff, took up
and bought from the Government through
the La Grande Land Office a tract of land
under such act. It appears that after
settling on this tract his right to It was
contested by the defendant, who alleged
that the plainiff had before settled upon
Government land.
The contest case was appealed to the
then Commissioner of the General Land
Office, BInger Hermann, who decided in
favor of the contestant, Charles E.
Hoover, which decision was later sus
tained by the Secretary of the Interior.
Mr. Jones is now trying to secure pos
session of his land through the courts.

HEAD SOLID SORE
Awful Suffering of Baby and
Sleepless Nights of
Mother.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar
to Recall Awful Sore
Writes Mother.
"I herewith write out in full the be
ginning and end of that terrible disease
eczema," says Mrs. Wo. Ryer, Elk
River, Minn., "which caused my babe
untold suffering and myself many
sleepless nights. My babe was born
seemingly a fair, healthy child, but
when she was three weeks old a swell
ing appeared on the back of her head,
and in course of time broke. It did
not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of a dime to that
of a dollar. I used all kinds of reme
dies that I could think of, but nothing
seemed to help; in fact, it grew worse.
Her hair fell out where the sore was,
and I feared it would never grow again.
It continued until my aged father came
on a visit, and when he saw the baby
he told me to get Cuticura Soap and
Ointment right away.
"To please him I did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has a nice head of hair, her
skin is as fair as a lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign of
Its returning."
CURE PERMANENT
"Your letter of the 19th inst. re
ceived, asking in regard to the cure of
my baby some six years ago. Well,
the disease has never returned to her
head which at that time was a solid
sore on top and down the back."

RHEUMAI DPI
Columbus, Ohio, May 20, 1903.
Six years ago I had a severe attack oi
Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was laid up
in bed for sis 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 was-getting 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 never had 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.
1355 ML Vernon Ave.
The poisonous acids that produce the in
flammation and pain are absorbed into the
blood and Rheumatism can never be con
quered till these are neutralized and fil
tered out of the blood and system. S.S.S.
goes directly into the circulation and at
tacks the disease itself. It purifies and re
stores the blood to a healthy, vigorous '
condition. It contains no potash, alkali or
other strong min
erals, but is guar
anteed entirely
vegetable. ."Write
