far Into the evening, for this was the
hottest day here this year. More than 20

where they will sleep tonight In the open.
The curb brokers In Broad street were
obliged to suspend business because of

I was attacked with diarrhoea about

only getting worse all the time., I was
unable to do anything, and my weight
dropped from 146 pounds to 12o pounds.
I suffered for about two months, when I
was advised to try Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, of which
I used two bottles. That seems to have
permanently cured me. I now feel like a
new man. I would advise all who suffer

SENSATIONALLY LOW PRICES
BUT DEPENDABLE VALUES
Such unusual bargains as we tell of below might excite doubt in the mind of a stranger to
this store, but Portland folk know they may be guided by what we say in this printed news of
the busy doings of Portland's Greatest Store. We write with care. In some minds there is an
intuitive distrust of advertisements. Some stores seem to foster such distrust by reckless
statements both oral and printed, that are associated with "pipe dreams" and rainbows;
and no doubt there is ample justification in the minds of shoppers for such skepticism as some
6how. But, because SOME ads are not truthful why condemn ALLT The fact is, no merchant
who hopes to keep in the game DARE risk falsehoods in his announcements, be his real princi
ples what they may. Self-interest forbids it. We trust we are not flattering ourselves in believ
ing that OUR ADS inspire confidence. In any event, we know they deserve to. Every printed
word in this advertisement will be backed up by the goods in the store today.

he came to San Francisco last April and
entered the general hospital at the Pre

death.
After spending some time In the gen

proved, and was granted a three months?

Thief Is Stopped by Rob
son's Look
Boy Drops Stolen Bicycle and Runs
When Bis Eyes Meet' Those of
Honest Station Officer.
WHO ever heard of a face stopping
a criminal? Faces have been
said to stop clocks, break cameras and
mirrors but never before to stop crim
inals. William Robson, station officer on
the first night relief, is not so homely
as to attract attention. In fact he says
his wife maintains be is good look
ing. Be that as it may, one glance from
Robson's sleuthlike eyes convinced a
young bicycle thief that It was better
traveling along the straight and nar
row path. Robson was sitting on the
veranda above the sidewalk at the sta
tion Sunday night. Presently there
came along a boy leading a bicycle.
Robson looked casually down, the boy
looked guiltily up. Four eyes met, the
boy dropped his wheel and made off on
the run. Robson came down and took
the wheel inside the station. Acting
Detective Smith Just then entered and
at first glance identified the wheel as
one which had been stolen the night
before from Mitchell Allen, a colored
newsboy.
Robson is now picked by his fellow
officers as Captain Bruin's most dan
gerous competitor at the next civil
service examination.
