A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for
children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. She is a source of
misery to every one who comes under her influence, and unhappy and miserable herself. She cannot
help it, as her condition is due to shattered nerves caused by some feminine derangement, with back
ache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. Proof is monu
mental that nothing is better to regulate a woman's health than

Thousands and thousands of women testify to this fact.
Mrs. NeHIe Makhsra, of 151 Morgan St., Buffalo, H.Y., writes :
'Dtar Mrs. Tinktam: I was a wreck from nervous prostration. I suffered 80
I did not care what became of roe, and my family despaired of my recorery. Physi
cians failed to. help me. I was urged to try Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and I want to tell you that it has entirely cured me. I think it is the finest
medicine on earth, and I am recommending it to all my friends and acquaintances."
Mrs. Geo. A. James, a life-long resident of Fredonia, N.Y., writes :
" " Dtar Mrs. Ttnkbam : I was in a terribly run down condition and had nervous
prostration caused by female trouble, in fact I had not been well since my children
were born. This condition worked on my nerves, and I was irritable and miserable.
I had tried many remedies without getting much help, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

safely through the Change of Life. I cannot too strongly recommend your medi

MRS. PINKHAM'S INVITATION TO WOMEN.
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited
to communicate promptly with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From
the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and
surest way of recovery advised. She will hold your letter in strict confi
dence as indicated' by the fact that every private letter received by her

laboratory under lock and key, and no testimonial has ever been published
without special written permission. Her advice is free and always helpful.

Aspirants for County and Leg
islative Jobs Preparing
for Primaries,
MANNING MUST FIGHT
District Attorneyship, Which He
Holds, Sought by Hosts of Can
, dldates Democrats Fight
" . for Three Offices.
Very many aspirants for county jobs
are pluming their fine feathers to shunt
the Winter's wet that will precede the
nominating primaries next April. There
promises to be a surfeit of candidates,
as usual, for the 15 lucrative Jobs and
the IS seats In the Legislature for 'this
county. The fat pickings are as fol
lows: Sheriff, Commissioner, Treasurer,
Assessor, Prosecuting Attorney,' Cir
cuit Judge, two Justices of the Peace
In Portland and one In Eastern Mult
nomah, one Constable in Portland and
one In Eastern Multnomah; Clerk, Cor
oner, Surveyor and School Superinten
dent. '
The legislative seats are five State
Senators and twelve State Represen
tatives for this county and one joint
Representative for Multnomah and
Clackamas.
A hard tussle is in store for candi
dates for District Attorney, an office
which has been held by John Manning
(Democrat) since January, 1903.
Manning was at that time appointed
by Governor Chamberlain and- was
elected in June, 1904, by a big mi
'Jority. Manning will doubtless be the
candidate of his party. Though there
is some talk of running W. T. Vaughn
for the Democratic nomination, there
seems little chance of his prevailing
against Manning in the Democratic
primaries. Manning supporters liken
the Vaughn boom to that of George H.
Thomas, who ran against Harry Lane
for the Democratic nomination for
Mayor this year, .and to that of M. J.
Malley, who ran against Tom Word for
the Democratic nomination for Sheriff
last year.
Depends on His Opponent.
Manning's fortune in the election
will depend, of course, on the strength
of the Republican candidate. Several
aspirants for the Republican nomina
tion have appeared, but none of them
yet seems to possess the needed pres
tige for the tusle with Manning. G.
C. Moser, Republican deputy in Man
ning's office. Is a candidate, as is also
Waldemar Seteon. ex-Justine of the
Peace for East Portland. George J.
Cameron. Police Judge. Is contemplat
ing entrance to the list. L. a. McNary,
ex-City Attorney, has been boomed for
the nomination, but has said positively
that he will not be a candidate. Man
ning is said to be well satisfied with
the present list of Republican aspi
rants. Another man. not yet an avowed as
pirant, but one who would make a
strong run, is W. C. Bristol. United
States District Attorney, whose ap
pointment to that position has not been
confirmed by the United States Senate
Mr. Bristol's boom has started from the
recognized need of a stronger Repub
lican candidate than has yet appeared
The office now held by Manning pays
14000 a year and the term is four years
Still others for whom boomlets have
been started are J. J. Fitzgerald Dep
uty City Attorney; John V. Logan and
Ralph Moody.
Another sharp fight will be waged
for the office of Circuit Judge. Judge
Thomas O'Day, Democrat, will come up
for election to fill the unexpired term
of .four years, for which he was ap
pointed by Governor Chamberlain after
the death of Judge Sears last Summer
Judge O'Day undoubtedly will receive
the nomination of his party. Republi
cans will need a strong candidate to
meet him. M. C. George, ex-Judge, is
most conspicuous of the Republicans
boomed for the office. Robert G. Mor
row, reporter of the State Supreme
Court. Is an aspirant. Another is Wil
liam Reid, Justice of the Peace for the
West Side district. Still others are
said to be A. T. Lewis and William M.
Gregory.
Stevens Against Word.
Robert L. Stevens and Tom Word will
probably meet again in the race for
Sheriff. That Word will be the nomi
nee of the Democrats can hardly be
doubted. Several aspirants for the Re
publican nomination,, besides Stevens,
are bobbing up, however. Among them
is M. A. McEachern, City License Col
lector. Another Is E. J. Farrell. The
last year's boom of George McMillan
has been revived, and N. H. Bird and
W. A. Storey are again talked of.
Assessor B. D. Slgler will be a candi
date to succeed himself, but will en
counter one and perhaps two rivals for
the Republican nomination. Most promi
nent of them is A. G. Rushlight, member
of the City Council. Another aspirant is
William Reidt.
Two Justices of the Peace are to be
elected In Portland and one constable,
under an act of the Legislature last Win
ter, consolidating the East Side and West
Side districts. The salaries of the two
Justices have been raised to $2400 a year.
The Justices will appoint a clerk at $1300
a year, who will appoint a deputy at $960
a year. The Constable's salary will be
J1500 and he will appoint a deputy at $1000.
Judge Fred L. Olson, now Justice of
the East Portland district, will be a can
didate for re-election. Waldemar Seton
may also be a candidate, should he not
run for District Attorney. Other aspir
ants are: J. W. Bell, J. E. Magers, T.
W. Vreeland and Thomas McDevitt. For
Constable. Joe Morak, Lou Wagner and
Charles Mott will probably be candidates.
John Lewis will be a candidate for re
election to the offlca of County Treasurer,
J. P. 'Finley to the office of Coroner. F.
S. Fields to that of County Clerk, Philo
Holbrook, Jr. to that of County Surveyor
and R. F. Robinson to that of County
School Superintendent and W. L. Lightner
to that of County Commissioner.
Democrats Want but Three.
It will be noted that the only offices
that Democrats, will make an active fight
for are those of Sheriff, District Attorney
and Circuit Judge.
Democrats will concede the other offices
to Republicans.
This county will elect five State Sena
tors, to serve at Salem with the two
hold-over Senators, A. A. Bailey and S.
C. Beach. There will be a lively fight
for the nominations on the Republican
ticket, since the nomination will mean
election. C. W. Nottingham, who has
served In both houses of the Legislature
and whose old term as Senator will ex
pire at the time of the new election, will
be a candidate. John Driscoll, who has
been a member of the lower house of
the Legislature several terms, will also
be a candidate. Both these men are con
sidered particularly strong.
Another possible candidate is Dr. An
drew C. Smith, formerly a member of
the State Senate for this county. Still
others are E. B. Colwell, ex-member of
the House: Dr. Ernest Drake, W. H.
Chapin, John Gill. William Killings
worth, Dr. L. M. Davis, Dr. E. G. Clark,
H. R. Albee, F. S. Doernbecher, F. I.
McKenna, B. B. Beekman. C. W. Hod
son, who has served a term as State
Senator, may be a candidate for re-election.
Not so many candidates for the House
have cropped out yet as for the Senate.
John B. Coffey, who was chairman of the
committee on railroads In the House last
Winter, will probably run for re-election.
Others who may seek re-election are J.
W. Beverldge and Harry Northup. Still
other aspirants are T. Morris Dunne.
Clarence Gilbert, R. E. L. Simmons and
J. C. Jamison.

PRESIDENT'S HARD VOYAGE
Fights Every Bit of Wa From Nome
Against Terrific Gales.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 22. (Special.)
All the way down from Nome, Cap
tain John Weaver, of the steamship
President, which arrived at Seattle late
today, was HI and confined to his bunk.
First Officer Brown, who had charge
of the boat on her trip southward, stag
gered from the bridge when the boat
landed, a hollow-eyed specter, for the
President fought every inch of her
southward voyage.
Some of her doors were smashed by
gales and she had a hard time of it all
the way. At that, the wireless commu
nication of the boat kept her In touch
with land for the trip. Tomorrow
morning she leaves for San Francisco.
The President brought $1,000,000 In
gold and 669 passengers.
Mrs. J. McNaught. wife of a San
Francisco newspaper man, fell in Nome
and severely injured herself, but shai
walked ashore from the President with--out
aid.

Taxpayers Generally Satisfied
With Assessment.
UNDERSTAND NEW SYSTEM
Majority or Complaints Filed With
Equalization Board From Per
sonal Property-Owners Cash
Valuations Now Satisfactory.
Judging from the limited number of
complaints so far filed with the Board
of Equalization, the taxpayers of Mult
nomah County apparently are becom
ing accustomed to having their prop
erty assessed on a cash value basis. Of
the 76 persons who have appeared be
for the equalizing board a majority
complained of their personal property
assessments; only a few have objected
to the assessment of their real estate.
None of the large property-owners of
the county has appeared before the
equalization board, and unless there is
greater activity during the remainder
of the week there will not be much for
It to do when the week's session has
closed.
"It Is as quiet as a village church
yard at this year's meeting of the
board, compared with the first year
that the property of the county was
assessed on a cash basis," said Asses
stor Sigler yesterday. "In that year
more than 1000 protests were filed
with the equalizers, but at the present
rate the number of complaints will not
equal that of last year. Property
owners generally are satisfied with the
assessment that has been made, and
when, from an inspection of the roll,
they discover that all property has been
listed on the same basis few have any
objections to offer."
Whether or not taxes can be col
lected on property that has been de
stroyed by fire after, the assessment
was made' is a question that is pre
sented ' for the determination of the
board in a petition filed yesterday by
the Portland Mattress & Upholstery
Company. This company . represents
that its property was assessed for $12,
200, of which only $3000 worth was re
covered from a fire which occurred
subsequent to March 1, 'when the as
sessment was made. The company
now petitions the board to reduce Its
assessment to $3000.
Alleging that his property, being the
east 100 feet of block 107, Caruthers'
Addition. Is assessed out of proportion
to adjoining land, Blaise Lab be -requests
the board to reduce the assess
ment on his tract from $26,000 to $12,
000. Labbe complains that land ad
joining his, having an equal frontage
both on Burnslde and Stark streets, is
assessed at the rate of $3 per square
foot, while his is listed at $6.50 a
square foot. He asks that his assess
ment be equalized to correspond to that
of his neighbor.
Complaining that the land is valuable
only as a pasture, the owners of Swan
Island yesterday demanded that the
board reduce the assessment of that
property, which is assessed for $40,000.
The Nott-Davls Company asks that
its assessment of $60,000 on merchan
dise and accounts be reduced to
$17,000.
TALKS IN SPIRIT OP TIMES
ELBERT HUBBARD BRIXGS MES
SAGE TO PORTLAND.'
Covers Wide Range of Sharply Con
trasted Subjects in a Lecture
at Murlark Hall.
Elbert Hubbard brought his message to
Portland last night. He delivered it to
a fairly large audience in Murlark hall,
which was tastefully decorated for the
occasion. The subject of his lecture, ser
mon or monologue for what he said was
taken in various ways by his audience
was "The Spirit of the Times." Under
this title Mr. Hubbard jumped from
subject to subject, sprinkling the way
with apt stories, and occasionally with a
characteristic remark of real weight.
Some of the audience, figuratively
speaking, sat rapt at the feet of their
patron genius and listened Intently as
Mr. Hubbard gave forth some well-worn
truth In a new and often well-fitting
dress. Others looked on the man with
at first amazement, then disappointment,
then amusement, not overcharged with
admiration that the man who has written
some of the really brilliant things over
the signature of Elbert Hubbard should,
on closer view, prove of rather common
clay. '
Opinions of Mr. Hubbard as expressed
by his audience ran all the way from the
semi-worship rendered by a long-haired
Socialist to the expression of an admirer
of some of his writing who; after seeing
the man for the first time and listening
to his current of talk for a while, re
marked quizzically that "Elbert Hubbard
seems to be a mixture of Tom Lawson
and Ezra Kendall, without the personality
of either."
His sermon or monologue, philosophy
or vaudeville, began with an attack on
the lawyers, drifted to doctors, went on
to electricity, touched on women, attacked
the churches and ministers, and wound up
with a combination of Christian science
and vegetarianism. Speaking of the law,
for Instance, Hubbard said In part:
"When you want to do something Illegal
what do you do? You consult a lawyer.
"Man Is greater than the law. I know

course in it. I used to know a Baptist

in Murlark hall on "Woman's Work. An
Inquiry and a Suggestion." Mr. and Mrs.
Hubbard are guests of William Herman,
344 Fargo street.- on the East Side, during
their stav In the city.

backache, lame back, stitches and

PORTLAND PROOF
W. Jenkins, of 426 East Mill St.
Portland, Or., says: "I have no occa
sion to change anything that I aald
three years ago In recommending
Doan's Kldr.ey Pills, for since that
time other members of our family
have found equally beneficial results In
treating kidney complaint Before
using Doan's Kidney Pills I suffered
with acute attacks of backache and
a derangement of the action of the kid
neys, and dull, dragging pains made It
difficult for me to attend to my work.
As the result of using this fine remedy
I have been free from kidney com
plaint and backache for over three
years, and therefore feel great confl-.
4ence In recommending them to
others."
