as Souvenir of the Day.
McMINXVILLE. Or., May 1. (Spe
. cial.) Today was given over to
gayety In McMinnville. in honor of Mc
Minnville College and the visitors from
Portland. Preparations for the event
had been In hand for more than a
week, and when a dispatch was re
ceived this morning from Passenger
Agent McMurray, of the Southern Pa
cific, announcing that a special trali
with 650 passengers on board had left
Portland for McMinnville, the citizens
hero felt that their fond anticipations
for a successful Mayday party were
nearing a realization. The excursion
was given at the suggestion of the
Baptist denomination, and its purpose
was to allow the Baptists of the
metropolis an opportunity of becoming
better acquainted with McMinnville
College, which Institution tile Baptists
of the Northwest have chosen as their
foremost denominational school.
Show windows were handsomely
decorated for the day. and the- busi
ness houses remained closed during the
greater part of the day. Trpon the ar
rival of the visitors they followed the
carriage of the May Queen to the col
lege campus, where the coronation of
the Queen occurred In all Its royal
magnificence.
Miss Galloway Queen of the May.
Miss Zilpha Galloway, of the class of
'09. had been elected May Queen by a
great majority of the students. Queen
Zllpha. with her pretty maids of honor
and the gallant royal guard, occupied
first place on the programme of exer
cises. A few musical numbers followed,
when the visitors were given an appe
tizing and substantial luncheon. This
was distributed in the college basement
on account of the prevailing Spring
shower, which rendered the campus and
the region of the great oak untenable.
In the afternoon the people were es
corted to the First Baptist Church, where
an eloquent address of welcome was
made by Mayor Macy. Responses were
given, as was also an entertaining ad
dress by Rev. J. Whlcomb Brougher, of
Portland. Adjournment w'as made to the
athletic field, where a tournament and
field meet occurred metween Willamette
Vnlverslty and the local college. The
day closed with a debate in the evening
between the co-eds of Willamette Uni
versity and McMinnville College, the
question being. "Resolved. That the
t'nlted States shoilld permanently retain
the Philippine Islands."
Vniqiie Advertising Feature.
. One feature of today's festivities was
the presentation to each one of the 650
excursionists of a unique souvenir of
McMinnville. Business men and others
took the matter up a few days ago and
purchased all of the Yamhill County
grown walnuts that were In the local
market. To each walnut was screwed a
small brass eyelet,, and Into this was in
serted two pieces of ribbon in the col
lege colors. Upon one was printed, in
gold, the words. "McMinnville. the Wal
nut City." and upon the other. "The
Home of McMinnville College." A dele
gation carried the supply of souvenirs to
Forest Grove this morning, where they
met the incoming special train and
pinned a walnut to the lapel of each of
McMlnnvllle's guests. It was a clever
bit of advertising.

MAY LOSE OFFICIAL HEAD
Mayor and Councllmen Indulge in
Bitter War of Words Over Fire-arm
Cable Blander Utters
Threats of Impeachment.
Mayor Lane, City Attorney Kava
naugh and Councllmen Bennett and
Cellars, of the Judiciary committee, last
night engaged In the bitterest battla
of words In the history of the turbulent
period during which the Executive
and members of the Council haye
carried on their bitter fight, cov
ering about three years. The session
began at 7:30 and ended at 11 o'clock,
the subject supposedly under discus
sion being the purchase of $20,700
worth of Are department cables.
Mayor Lane took the stand after
other witnesses tgave their testimony,
and answered questions from City At
torney Kavanaugh and the members of
the committee relative to the purchase.
At the end of his testimony he asked
if It was the intention of the commit
tee to lay the ground for impeachment
proceedings, and said it appeared to
him that such was the case. If so. he
declared, he would like to enter Into
that matter, and he then charged Mr.
Kavanaugh with openly. In a Council
session, advocating a continuation of a
violation of the charter, relative to
public funds, alleging that City Treas
urer Werleln, during the recent finan
cial panic, illegally loaned to certain
banks the city's money.
The Mayor, also said that it is a mat
ter of record that, when this violation
was noted, the Council voted vindica
tion of Mr. Werleln, by resolution. The
Mayor intimated that every one of
them who so voted became thereby- lia
ble to impeachment.
' Challenges the Remark.
City Attorney Kavanaugh, who sat
directly across a table from Mayor
Lane, challenged the truth, of the
Mayor's assertion, and denied emphat
ically ever recommending any charter
violation. The Mayor held to his origi
nal statement, however. Mr. Kava
naugh explained that he worked In con
junction with Mr. Werleln to straighten
out matters of finance, and said that
Mr. Werlln's violation of the charter
was made in Ignorance, and simply to
benefit the city by securing interest.
Mayor Lane replied that by so doing
Mr. Werleln might have secured some
Interest for the municipality, but that
he thereby jeopardized 1900,000, and
that the Council went on record as ap
proving this action. Councilman Ben
nett, chairman of, the committee, de
nied that the Council approved it, bt
declared that "the Council met the
issue like men, not being afraid, like
the Mayor, to take action." -
Mayor Lane also openly charged
Thomas C. Devlin, ex-City Auditor,
with "Juggling" appropriations, and de
clared that Mr. Devlin, as Auditor, and
the members of the ways and means
committee at the time, of which Mr.
Bennett was one, studied how to ar
range each item, eo as to hamper the
administration, and cited as an exam
ple how the street-cleaning department
fund specified brooms to sweep the
dirt, but no wagons to cart it away,
"just to annoy and cripple the depart
ment." Mr. Bennett, as chairman of
the committee, denied the allegations,
and said the specifications were made
"to protect the city."
All Talk at Once.

loud, and eo many were talking, that

it was Impossible to distinguish any
thing that was said. There was no
semblance of order, the Mayor Insisting
upon finishing his remarks, and otRers
trying to put questions at one and the
same time. The subject of cables was
lost sight of In the fight.
At the close, Councllmen Bennett and
Cellars openly expressed themselves as
of the belief that the blame for the
needless expenditure originated with
City Electrician Savarlan, and the lat
ter replied, "I hope you're satisfied,
having made a goat out of me." It is
thought, from what was said, that the
committee will recommend the dismis
sal of Savarlan on the grounds of in
competency, and Fire Chief Campbell
may be Involved also. Tbe committee
will compile its report later.
Among Its . findings Is sure to be
one that, while section 1M. of the char
ter makes it the duty of the Mayor to
report to the Council on all provisions
of public-service franchises, he did not
do so, and that therefore the Council
voted to appropriate the $20,700 for un
derground cables, which should have
been furnished by , the telephone
companies.

Mrs. Mary Wilkins, of Remington,
Ind., Mother of Dr. John A. Wil
kins, of Delta, Ind., Is One of
the Oldest Residents of the
State, Having Lived in
Three Centuries and Being
in Her 109th Year.
She was born in County Tyrone, Ire
land, September 29th, 1799, and came
to this country with her husband in
1840. She is the mother bf four chil
dren, all living. At the present time
she is visiting a daughter in Indiana
and is in splendid health. Sho enjoyed
an automobile ride a few days ago and
was greatly pleased at the speed. Mrs.
Wilkins remembers the crowning, of
Queen Victoria, and enjoys telling of
the experiences and conditions of a hun
dred years ago
On January 18th, Margaret Watson,
daughter of Mrs. Wilkins, sent the fol
lowing letter from her mother:
"Dear Mr. Duffy I want to tell you
about your medicine, it is doing me so
much good. I am now a very old wo
man. I have passed my 108th birthday.
Since taking your Pure Malt Whiskey
my appetite is better, and I am stronger.
I rest better and my daughter, who is
75 years old, says I am getting younger
every day. I feel that your Whiskey
is a food and that it will keep me alive
for a great many years more. Your
Malt Whiskey makes me think of the
whiskey they make in Ireland. You
may put this in the paper if you want
to.
Thousands of letters like Mrs. Wilkins' are received from grateful men and women who cannot say
too much in praise of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for the benefit derived from its use'.
Duffy's
Pure lyialt Whiskey
is an absolutely pure distillation of malted grain; great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly malted,
thus destroying the germ' and producing a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence, which is" the most
effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science ; softened by warmth and moisture its palatability and
freedom from injurious substances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach.
It is invaluable for overworked men, delicate women and sickly children. It strengthens and sustains the sys
tem; is a promoter of health and longevity; makes the old young and keeps the young strong.
CAUTION When you ask your druggist, grocer or dealer for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, be sure you get the
genuine. It is the only absolutely pure medicinal malt whhiskey 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
unbroken. Write Dr. R. Curran, Consulting Physician, for free copy illustrated medical booklet and free advice
