DELEGATES TO OBEGON STATE PHAItMACETJTlCAI, ASSOCIATION CONVEVTTOJT, ASSEMBLED ON VEBAKDA OF HOTEL MOORE, SEASIDE. ..................... ............. .................. . . . RUSTIC CANTATA AT Great Musical Event at Glad stone Park This Evening. CHILDREN WILL TAKE PART Governor Buchtel, of Colorado, Proves an Entertaining Lec turer Dr. S. H. Chapman to Address Mothers' Congress. n-RFOON CTTV. Or.. Jnlv 12. (Special.) The first great musical programme of the 14th annual session of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Assembly will take place tomorrow night, when the rustic cantata, "The Month and Seasons," will be produced under the direction of Dr. R. A. Heritage, musical director of the as sembly, with 75 children of the public schools of Oregon City and Parkplace In the cast. Dr. Heritage ha3 been drill ing his chorus faithfully for many weeks and the production will be elaborate and attractive. The presence of Governor Henry A. Buchtel, of Colorado, at Chautauqua to day was the reason for an increased at tendance, there being more people at the lecture than at any previous day in the session. The auditorium; with a seating capacity of 3000, was nearly full, and the auditors applauded the Governor time md again. Buchtel Is a great storyteller, and told a lot of tales from Mr. Dooley. He said that the great churches are not do ing what they can to promote happiness. "I sometimes think," said the Governor, "that Is more possible for women to be happy than men, for the reason that a woman, when she is alone, is in the best society she can have. The life of nobility and pleasantness is more possible here than in any other country in the world." Buchtel Is Entertaining. Governor Bucntel's subject in the after noon was "The Pleasantness of American Life," and he contrasted th life of the American workman with the laborers of other countries to the disadvantage of the latter. "The American idea of civilization." said he, "is a pretty village with rows of neat cottages, containing happy fathers, mothers and children, with a schoolhouse and meetinghouse hard by. "The outlook of the American man Is totally different from the outlook of the man of any other country under the shining sun. This is the only country in the world where the man who behave as well as his neighbor la as good' as hi i neighbor, and if he be haves better than his neighbor he is bet ter." Mr. Buchtel talked on social equality and gave some beautiful illustrations. Ho discussed the religious peace in this coun try as compared with France and Eng land, and his lecture abounded with con trasts. The speaker dwelt on the natural appreciation of American humor, and said that after an Englishman has been here 48 hours, he Is no longer an Englishman, but becomes an American. The Governor, after apologizing to the Christian Scien tists, and stating that the medical men could not be offended, as they were at Seaside-and could not hear, said that if tho doctors knew more about gruel and less about poisons, and opened more win dows and fewer patients there would not be so many Christian Scientists. W. Eugene Knox; the Humorous. Professor W. Eugene Knox delighted the audience this afternoon with two reci tations, the last being humorous, coupled with stunning sneezes that convulsed the people. The baseball game this afternoon be tween the Chemawa Indian team and the, Trunkmakers was won by the latter. The Trunkmakera have won two -games and are tied with the Bralnard Cubs for Hrst place. The East Side Athletic Club play the North Paciflo team tomorrow. Next week the Oregon City Grays will fill out the schedule of the St. Johns team and will play Tuesday , with the Trunk makers and Thursday with Chemawa. The Portland Women's Club had charge of the exercises at the Chautauqua For um this morning, under the direction of Its president, Mrs. Frederick Eggert. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans' talked entertainingly "on "Oregon As Viewed From Jamestown," and Mrs. Wells spoke on "Mothers' Clubs." The club chorus of 13 women in white gowns gave selections with such charming effect that, by special request of Governor Buchtel. they sang again in the afternoon on ths auditorium platform. The Governor, by good fortune, arrived in time to receive a rousing Chautauqua salute at the morning session, where a felicitous speech of 6v minutes' length CHAUTAUQUA proved well his right to be Governor of a state where women vote. Arthur von Jessen, late director of the National Con servatory of Music of the City of Mexico, gave a piano number, and was cordially received. His music is a pleasing feature of the session. Congress of Mothers Today. The State- Congress of Mothers will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Dr. C. H. Chapman will speak on "The Train ing of Teachers." and C. C. Chapman will talk on "Efficiency in Education." Mrs. Elmer B. Colwell, president of the State Congress of Mothers, will preside. 'Theodore Roosevelt" waa the subject of Governor Buchtel's lecture tonight, and the manner in Which the delivery waa given raised the Governor in the estima tion of his audience. The lecture is to be ciassed among the best on the lecture platform and is a great inspiration. Hon. Frank -S. Regan, cartoonist, of Rockford. 111., will talk at 2 o'clock to morrow afternoon on "The Saloon in Poli tics," and the lecture will be Illustrated by cartoons drawn in the presence of the audience.

SITUATION IS AWKWARD. Attorney-General Says Deposits and Reports Must Be Made Daily, but Work of Institutions Will Be Crippled. OLYMFTA, Wash., July 18. (Special.) A big row Is threatened between state of- ificlals here and the regents and heads of the several state Institutions, over -a rul ing made today by Assistant Attorney General A. J. Falfcnor to State Treasurer Mills, that every cent received at the uni versity from fees, for issuing diplomas, etc.; that receipts at the State College from sale of livestock, etc., and all the contingent fund receipts of the Peniten tiary, state schools for deaf and blind, hospitals, etc., must be remitted dally to the State Treasurer under the 1907 law, providing for remittances on state funds. The State treasurer, on the strength of the opinion, has addressed a letter to the Governor, calling attention to the opin ion, and pointing out that the several boards of regents, the state board of con trol and the superintendents of the state institutions have made no remittance un-' der the law. It is claimed here, for instance, that the State University collects a J25 fee from each graduate of the Law Department of that Institution, collects a fee for special course in music, and in this and other ways gets in annually large sums of money. There is no question raised by any one that the funds so collected are not honestly expended for the support of the institutions, but the complaint Is chief ly because there are no records here of the collections, no check of any kind on the expenditure. Conditions Worst at Pullman. At the State College, conditions, so far as a public state check is concerned, are even worse than elsewhere. There, for instance, they receive 30,000 a year from the Federal Government under the Mor rill Act, which the regents expend without any check or limitation by state authori ties. In addition the college sells a quan tity of livestock and has other large sources of revenue, all of which is spent without record here or report. The several Institutions under manage ment of the Board of Control also have contingent funds. With respect to the hospitals for the insane, these contingent funds are created by express authority of law.

Fran cisco's Wonderful Progress In Reconstruction NOW stltutlons there Is always need for large sums of cash on hand to meet immediate necessities.. For Instance, the travelling guards who transport the insane, must have money to pay railroad fare, to pur chase meals and meet the other expenses of the trip. In the course of the month these expenditures run up to a large sum. It would be impossible to do this work on credit with the payees waiting a month for their bills to be presented to the state and vouchers drawn. Thus from sales of old junk about the institutions, for Instance, the sales of hides of cattle slaughtered and the like, sums come in which go into the con tingent fund, and from this fund cash is advanced for needs of the institu tion. For these expenditures vouchers are taken and at the end of the month the vouchers are assembled in one claim, the State Auditor issues a warrant for the total amount, and this warrant Is then cashed and the money goes back Into the contingent fund to be used again. It Is naturally more elastic than a straight state fund would be. Contingent Fund Necessary. Not all of the expenditures, however, take this course. For example, loras months before the Legislature meets, the State Board secures estimates say for in stalling a new boiler and asks an ap propriation for the expenditure. In the six or eight months elapsing from the date of making up the estimate until the Dr. W. S. Lewis, a Prominent Physician of Canton, Pa., Says: "I Have Used Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for Years, and Regard It as the Safest and Most Reliable Tonic-Stimulant. This Well-Known Temperance Doctor Recalls in His Letter a Case of a Minister's Son Whose Life He Saved by the Use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. On October 31st, 1906, Dr. Lewi3 wrote: "I take pleasure in advising you that I have used Duffy's Malt Whiskey in the sick-room for many years, and consider it the purest, safest and most reliable tonic-stimulant I ever used. Even with children it never has any nauseous effect. "Some fourteen years ago, I recall very distinctly haying a case of sthenic bronchitis in Edwin, son of Benj. Tracy, minister of M. E. Church, Canton, Pa. One evening I was summoned in haste and found the patient dying from sheer exhaustion, hurried out my hypo dermic needle and injected one-half ounce of Duffy's Malt Whiskey in each limb. To the surprise of all, the boy began to breathe, and could soon take a little Duffy's Malt Whiskey in milk. Brother Tracy was a rank temperance man, but said that thereafter he would never condemn whiskey when used in the proper place, being satisfied it saved his boy's life. "I have been a temperance man all my life, but have always been a firm believer in the use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for medicinal purposes. I also claim that after one has passed fifty-five years (for then one is dn the downward path of life), one should take Duffy's Malt Whiskey as a tonic-stimulant. It renovates the system, opens up the secretions, gives life and vigor to the generally broken-down tissue and increases longevity. I have no other interest, either direct or indirect, in Duffy's Malt Whiskey than that it has proven to me a genuine article in these days of adulterations." The doctor's letter is one taken at random from thousands of. similar ones received extolling the virtues of this great family medi cine. Duffy's Pure Half Whiskey is distilled wholly from malted grain by a most expensive method vhich has never been made public. This private process insures qual ity and flavor. Its softness, palatability and freedom from those in jurious substances found in other whiskies make it acceptable to the most sensitive stomach. It acts as an antitoxin which destroys and drives out all disease germs. Its results are free from that depresing effect caused by fxisoning the blood with many medicines. It is a tonic and invigor ant for old and young, and its medicinal properties make it invalu able for overworked men, delicate women and sickly children. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has been analyzed many times by the best chem ists during the past fifty years and has always been found to be abso lutely pui . Caution When you ask your druggist, grocer or dealer for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey be sure you get the genuine. It's the only absolutely pure medicinal malt whiskey and is sold in sealed bottles only; never in bulk. Price $1.00. Look for the trade-mark, the "Old Chemist," on the label, and make sure the seal over the cork is un b'eken. Illustrated medical booklet and doctor's advice free. Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Rochester, N. Y. SUKSET ON SALE April following the session, when the ap propriation becomes available, it is dis covered that the price of boilers ha gone up several hundred dollars above the appropriation. The improvement Is needed, the Board cannot expend from state fund more than the appropriation and then the contingent fund comes in to meet the difference. This instance Is cited because it is one which has actually occurred recently. Similar contingencies are known to have occurred at the higher educational insti tutions. In fact without some such elas tic fund to fall back upon, serious results may follow. In view of the fact that it has already developed that few. If any, of the improvements at the institutions authorized by the last Legislature can be made according to original plans within the original estimates and appropriations, because of advance in -tabor and building material, and the contingent funds were counted upon to meet deficiencies. Once the contingent fund gets in the treasury It must stay there till the next Legislature appropriates it. State Audi tor Clausen, in this connection, has agreed to issue any reasonable sum in advance to any state Institution to meet needs for ready cash and to accept subvouchers against this advance, but State Treasurer Mills may refuse to cash any such war rant, as there is no law authorizing such advances. It will be a lovely situation to aolve when Goernor Mead returns home. i
