ballast, her three- top-gallant masts and
upper gear cut away to right the vessel,

her to reach port, was the tale of ex

four-masted American bark Acme,
which limped Into the Columbia River
this afternoon, 32 days from Hlogo.
Japan.
That the vessel was not lost Is due to
the excellent seamanship and Judgment
of her master. Captain A. F. McKay, and
the incessant work . of his crew. Not
withstanding the terrible experience, the
vessel arrives with all well on board and
.with her hull apparently uninjured.
The Acme sailed from the Japanese
port on October 26 She carried 1200 tons
of sand ballast, well tamped and cov
ered with shifting boards. In addition to
tbls there, was 150 tons of rock ballast
that is carried, permanently under the
limbers. A good breeze wns picked up

made and everything looked promising
for a fast trip across until the evening

Ship Lurches to Starboard.
Suddenly, at 4:30 on the morning of
November 2. the sixth day out, the bark
without a moment's warning tripped on
a huge sea and lurched to the starboard
onto her beam ends, with her lower yards
In the wnter. So severe was the shock
that the shifting hoards were torn up
and the ballast thrown against the deck
and then shifted to the starboard side.
Kven the rock ballast under the limbers
was thrown out, and one of the chro
nometers was pitched from Its case.
Immediately the alarm was sounded
and all hands were sent below, where
they worked like trojans in a futile ef
fort to stow the ballast and right the
vessel. The bark, however, kept grad
ually settling and was In imminent dan

to cut away the backstays, and the three
topgallant masts and the upper gear
were allowed to go by the hoard.
Lifeboats Got Ready
In the meantime. Captain McKay, feel
ing certain that his ship was doomed,
had provisioned all the boats and every
preparation was made to leave the craft
at a moment's notice. The loss of the
masts and yards so lightened the bark
that the work of restowing the ballast
could be proceeded with, and after five
days and nights of labor, with only short
intervals of rest, the crew succeeded in
righting the vessel. patching up the

YOUNG BROWN PIT IN JAIL
Supreme Court Decides Patricide
Can Be Detained by Sheriff.
CHEIIALTS. Wash., Nov. 26. (Special.)
Tom Brown, who killed his father,
Charley Brown, at the family home about
12 miles west of Chehalis three years ago.
Is now in the custody of Sheriff Deggeller
In the Lewis County jail. A jury in the
Superior Court found Brown "not guilty
by reason of insanity." At that time
Judge Rice, Instead of turning the young
man loose, ordered him committed to the
custody of Sheriff Henry Urquhart under
a state law governing such cases. Brown's
attorneys took an appeal to the State
Supreme Court asking for a writ of habe
as corpus, but that body sustained the
position of Judge Rice. Then applica
tion was made to Judge C. H. Hanford of
the Federal Court for a writ of habeas
corpus and this was granted and young
Brown released. The attorneys for the
state appealed to the Supreme Court of
the United States and the latter body de
cided against Judge Hanford. A few days
ago In Judge Hanford's court an order
was ontered formally dismissing Brown's
application for a writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Hanford ruled that Brown should
be left In the custody of the state. How
ever. Brown was at that time and had for
months been at liberty. His arrest by
Deputy Sheriff King at the Chehalis depot
on Thursday evening was largely by
chance. Young Brown had until a few
days ago been working in a British Co
lumbia logging camp and only last
Wednesday had come to Chehalis to see
his mother. The officers learned that he
was In Chehalis and Mr. King picked him
up at the depot just as the young man
was stout to take a train to leave the
country. Under the original order of
Judge Rice. Brown is to remain Indefinite
ly in the custody of the Sheriff of Lewis
County. What legal steps will now be
taken to secure his release is problematical.
WIIIj NOT CLOSE THEATERS
Seattle Major and Prosecutor Will
Not Act Ministers Chagrined.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 26. (Special.)
Despite the fact that the Supreme Court
of the state has decided tyiat the Sunday
closing law. as applied to theaters, is con
stitutional, playhouses of Seattle are in
no danger of being closed. Today a com
mittee of pastors representing the ministe
rial association, called on Mayor Moore
with the request that he ta.ve action in
the matter.
The Mayor declared that he was not en
gaged in enforcing the state law and
made evasive, answer to the charge that
he was energette enough In enforcing the
same laws against the saloons. He re
ferred the committee to Prosecuting At
torney Mackintosh, who sidestepped In
turn and declared that the Mayor had
police at his command and is the man
who should take the initiative in enforcing
the state law In the city limits.
The ministers are chagrined. The Mayor
Is worried and the prosecutor Indifferent
for his term of office expires in the Fall.
The theatrical men and the theatergoers
are. however, jubilant.
WANT SUB-TREASURY AND MINT
Seattle Senator to Make Fight In
Congress This Session.
SEATTLE!. Wash.. Nov. 26. (Special.)
United States Senator S. H. Piles will ask
the United States Government to estab
lish a subtreasury in Seattle and will In
sist that in the same connection a Mint
be erected here to handle the millions of
gold pouring through the Seattle assay
office annually.
Calvin S. Vilas, assayer in charge of the
Seattle' office, has taken up the establish
ment of a subtreasury with Senator Plies
ttnd will supply him with the data neces
sary for making the fight In Congress.
It is believed a proper presentation of
facts will Induce Congress to locate a
Mint and subtreasury In Seattle.
It is pointed out that In express charges
on gold dust shipped through the assay
office, the Government Is paying moro
than $40,000 a year, and this sum would
be nearly sufficient to maintain a Mint
and subtreasury.
ONE BOARD FOR COUNTY

Superintendent Ackerman Explains
Advantage Bnker Will Get
Teachers' Convention.
LA GRANDE. Or., Nov. 26. (Spe
cial.) The State Teachers' Association
held a very interesting- eesslon todaj-.
State Superintendent Ackerman, In a
very able address delivered before the
convention-, advocated that the regula
tion of the schools of the county be
Intrusted to one School Board for the
entire county. Instead of a School Board
for each school district, as under the
present system.
President P. L. Campbell, of the Uni
versity of Oregon, spoke entertainingly
upon "The Development of Ideals." In
teresting, papers were read by Naomi
R. Stengel, of the Weston Normal
School, upon "The Teaching of Pho
netics," and Edna Davidson Woorden
upon "Kindergarten Principles In Pri
mary Work."
The association listened to two In
structive nddresses by Henry D. Shel
don, of the University of Oregon, upon
the subjects, "The New Movement in
High-School Science," and "Interest:
Its Place In Education." A principal
feature of the day's proceedings was
an address delivered this evening at
Stewart's Opera-House by President W.
J. Kerr, of the State Agricultural Col
lege. Tomorrow will occur the election of
officers for the ensuing year, and des
ignation of the place for holding the
next convention. Baker City appears
tc be in the lead for the next place of
meeting, and as It Is a custom to select
the President from the county where
the session Is held, this honor will
probably fall upon J. A. Churchill, Su
perintendent of the Baker City schools,
or County Superintendent Smith, of
Baker City.

Moyer, president, and Jack Simpkins,
member of the executive board of the
Western Federation of Miners, in March,
1906. for the murder of ex-Governor

Haywood and brought to Idaho, follow
ing the confession of Harry Orchard, In
which he admitted killing Steunenberg
with a dynamite bomb and charged he
had been hired to commit the crime by
the Federation offV'ers. Pettibone had no
official connection with the Western Fed
eration, but has been an honorary mem
ber since his arrest. It is charged by
the state that Pettlbone was the official
go-between of the "Inner circle" and their
alleged hired assassins.
After the acquittal of Haywood applica
tion for bond was made for Moyer and
Pettlbone. The state refused to consent
to Pettlbone's release, but Moyer was al

A Voice From
The Stomach
A Bloodless Fight Between a Tablet
and a Habit The Tablet Wins.
At the age of 22. Clarence had good
digestion. He had gastric Juice that
could dissolve doughnuts and turn ap
pleskins into good blood corpuscles.
At the age of 24 he began to be pro
fuse about the waist and lean back
wards He also began to
eral chins. In his new-found pride he
began to think It his duty to gorge
himself on everything, the good and
the bad. for appetite feeds on appetite
and every good thing is abused.
His pictures showed that he took on
weight after he put nis collar on.
At the age of 26 Clarence married
and went to boarding. On top of all
this, he attended oyster suppers and
wine dinners, which reduced the size of
his collar from 16 ft to 15. With still
abiding faith In the strength of his
stomach he gulped his meals, and
chewed them afterwards.
At the age ot 28 Clarence began to
hear an inward voice a warning from
the stomach. After each meal, he
would feel bloated and belching be
came a habit.
He began to be a light eater and a
heavy thinker. He tried to think out
a cure, for now he would sit down at
his meals absolutely disgusted at the
thought or sight of anything to eat.
He would sit down at his meals with
out the trace of an appetite. Just be
cause it was time to eat.
He would often feel a gnawing, un
satisfied "still-hungry" feeling in his
stomach, even after he was through
eating, whether his meal was well
cooked or not.
"And he suffered a good many other
things with his st6mach that he could
not explain, but that made him
nr..ehx- miserable, out-o'-sorts and

Now he has no more dyspepsia, no
more indigestion, no more loss of ap

OUTMAX FOUND NOT GLILTY
Salesman Proves He Has Legal Resi
dence in City of Pullman.
COLFAX, Wash.. Nov. 28. (Special.)
After being out 20 minutes, the Whitman
County Jury found W. D. Outman not
guilty of illegal voting. Outman. who
travels for W. H. McMonies. & Co.. of
Portland, voted at Pullman the last elec
tion, having formerly lived there. The
case was brought before the Whitman
County grand Jury and an indictment
was found against Outman. the only in
dictment found during the session.
Outman's firm wired him at Coos Bay
of the Indictment. Outman then wired
8heriff Ratliff stating he would reach
Colfax without delay, which he did, and
gave bond. Trial was set for November
15 and Outman again appeared, but trial
was postponed until November 25. The
state presented very weak evidence. The
local saloon people of Pullman backed
the prosecution, but failed to prove that
Outman had lost his risldence at Pull
man, though his duty as a salesman
called him away.
Mr. Outman stated that the case had
cost him a great loss of time and ex
pense of $200.

FRESH AIR NEEDED
Medicine la not of much use to
cure consumption. Fresh air and
clean living are the essential
forces to combat the dread
white scourge. Every precau
tion should be employed to pre
vent the germs from settling on
the lungs, and coughs and colds
should not be neglected. To
break up a cold quickly and
cure any cough that Is curable,
mix a half ounce Virgin Oil of
Pine with two ounces of glyc
erine and a half pint of good
whisky. Shake well and take a
teaspoonful every four hours.
Five ounces of tincture of Cin
chona compound can be used In
stead of whisky with the same
effect.
This mixture will usually
break up a cold ever night. Care
should be exercised to use only
the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine,
which Is prepared In the labo
ratories of the Leach Chem
ical Co., Cincinnati, O., and put
up for dispensing, only in 14
ounce vials, each securely sealed
in a round wooden case. It is
better to purchase the different
ingredients separately and mix
them at home.
