AFRAID TO STAY
OUTSIDE IN DARK
Because Wife Fails to Open
Door Promptly, Husband
Kicks Panels Out.
SHE BRINGS DIVORCE SUIT
3Irs. Hclfrich Sa-9 Spouse Returned
at 11 P. M. From Ball Game.
Refused to Take Her Because
She Had Nothing Fit to Wear.
That John G. Helfrich had a mania for
hall games, but refused to take his wife
along because "sha had nothing fit to
near,'" and didn't understand the game,
was the assertion made on the witness
siand in Judge O'Day's department of
the Circuit Court yesterday by Beade 1
Helfrich. She said she wept because she
was left at home alone. Her husband
would never take her anywhere, she
said. He returned from the game aboul
11 P. M., and because his wife did not
open the door at once, kicked the panel!
out. He said he was afraid to stay out
side In the dark.
At the time of his marriage, which
took place at Spokane, August 23, 1P00.
Helfrich was employed at that place by
the Great Northern Express Company.
He afterward went to Tacoma, where he
worked for the express company. Then
lie waa transferred back to Spokane.
Then the couple decided that they would
go Into the dairy and chicken business.
Mrs. Helfrich, who filed the present suit
for divorce, and who sought to obtain a
decree before Judge Polntdcxter, of Spo
kane, but failed, said yesterday that she
paid J2200 of the J3000 necessary to pur
crase a ranch near Spokane. A mort
gage covered the (Other S00. They took
the ranch In 19iM. she said.
"Babies" Needed the Milk.
While Helfrich peddled milk In town
his wife worked on the ranch. It often
happened, said the wife, that he did not
return until late in the afternoon. She
said he would go to the ball game and
leave her to work on the ranch. As she
had to plow and cut the grain, she said,
she dislocated h?r back and got her liver
out of place. When she wanted to sell
the cows to pay off the mortgage, which
was two years overdue, Helfrich replied
that the babies (in town) had to have
the milk. Mrs. Helfrl?h said further
that she once told her husband to water
the chickens, which he told her he had
done. When she went out she found
only ha.lf of the oOO had been watered.
Then he packed his trunk, said the
wife, and said he Intended to leave for
good, that he didn't know why he ever
married her. One Saturday night, soon
afterwards, he appeared at her bedroom
window to inform her that he had a
carving knife in his trunk. ' and that he
intended to protect his rights. He sent
her a suit case as a Christmas present,
which she sold three months Afterward
to a Miss Barker for 50 cents. In the
suit case was a box of candy, which Mrs.
Helfrich threw in the stove, for she was
afraid of being poisoned.
Her husband also sent her a muffler.

which she said she did not use, but had
kept "as pretty good value for some of
the things I had sent him. Lawyer
Dan Alalarkey, who represents Helfrich,
asked the witness if she -bought postage
stamps with the 50 cents obtained tor
the suit case, that she might write to her
husband. Regarding her husband's let
ters, the woman said she carried them
around in her pocket until they were
worn out. She said she did not answer
them.
Helfrich Contests Suit.
Helfrich is seeking to prevent his wife
from obtaining a deeree. He said she once
hit him with a gaspipe, and threw a beer
stein at him. He said all their trouble
has been caused by a meddling mother-in-law
and sister-in-law. Under their
Influence, he said, his wife filed the Spo
kane suit August 20, 1908, th.e ground be
ing cruelty. He said he tried to make
up with her after that, and at last learned
she was working in a Portland depart
ment store. He said he is now employed
by the Northern Pacific Express Com
pany, on the run between Missoula,
Mont., and Wallace, Idaho.
Helfrich said that because of the in
fluence of her relatives on his wife she
compelled him to sleep in the barn. He
said they first gave him a quilt that he
might sleep on the lounge, but that he
was afterward locked from the house.
His wife said, however, that he chose the
barn.
The sister had been employed as a
cook for Colonel Pitcher, superintendent
of the Yellowstone Park. She paid
a visit to the Helfrlch's. When he was
about to desert his v-ife, having packed
his own trunk, he attempted, said Mrs.
Helfrich, to throw her sister's trunk In
the river. When she objected he threw
her bodily o-er the fence,' breaaing her
glasses.
Helfrich testified yesterday afternoon
that" his wife not only threw a nkard
at him, but the books from the bookcase.
Mrs. Helfrlch's testimony was that the
wind blew the tankard off a table where
it stood. Helfrich said he was compelled
to sleep in the barn three nights, and
then went to a neighbor's. He said his
wife refused to cook for him, and that
the three women, his wife, mother-in-law,
and sister-in-law, would eat while he
milked the cows, leaving him to go to
bed supperless. The case will ba con
tinued this morning.

COLD HURTS, FRUIT
Crop Affected by Backward
Spring, Says Williamson.
APPLES ONLY EXCEPTION
Secretary of State Board of Horti
culture Receives Reports From"
All Sections of State Prunes
and Pears Most Damaged.
Secretary Williamson, of . the State
Board of Horticulture is In receipt of re
ports on fruit conditions from all parts
of the state that Indicate that while many
of the most Important fruits will yield a
good crop, the late frosts and "backward
Spring have caused considerable damage.
The apple crop, the most important
fruit yield of the state, promises to be a
bumper one. It is expected more apples
will be produced this season f than ever
before In the history of the state. All apple-growing
sections send In most en
couraging reports.
Prunes, which come next In Importance,
will not return so large a crop as last
yqar. The crop is reported to be small
because of the frosts and cold weather.
Some sections report less than one-half
a crop. Douglas' County will have a fair
crop, but as a whole the reports indicate
a large falling off from the normal yield
of the state. Eastern Oregon, which
ships the fruit green, will have a fairly
good yield.
The pear crop has been Injured on the

"What shall I eat?" is the dally in
quiry the physician is met with. I do
not hesitate to say that in my Judg
ment a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and im
properly prepared food. My personal
experience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
"From overwork, I suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation of
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last Sum
mer I was led to experiment person
ally with the new food, which I used in
conjunction with good rich cow's milk.
In a short time after I commenced its
use the disagreeable symptoms disap
peared, my heart's action became steady
and normal, the functions of the stom
ach were properly carried out and I
again slept as soundly and as well as in
my youth.
"I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that
it has a most prominent place In a ra
tional, scientific system of feeding.
Any one who uses this food will soon
be convinced of the soundness of the
principle upon which it is manufac
tured and may thereby know the facts
as to its true worth." Read "The Road
to Wellville," In pkgs. "There's a
Reison."

Portland's Largest and Oldest
Clothiers
lower lands of Southern Oregon by cold
and unseasonable weather and more or
less damage has been done in the Wil
lamette Valley to the Bartlett pears, the
principal variety grown in the valley.
The crop will be below two-thirds of a
normal yield, it Is expected, although
Eastern Oregon reports the prospects
good for pears.
The cherry crops will be large In Lane
County and also in Eastern Oregon, but
elsewhere the yield is expected to be
from one-half to two-thirds of last year's
crop, due to frosts late in the Spring.
Peaches have been injured slightly in
many places, but the districts where the
bulk of the crop Is grown report condi
tions are in very good shape for an aver
age crop. It is still too early to tell
about grapes. The cold weather has re

. Even in its early stages Catarrh Is a most distressing'ailment, caused by
the stuffy feeling in the head, ringing noises in the ears, watery eyes,
difficult breathing, continual "hawking and spitting," etc., but when the
blood becomes thoroughly saturated with the impurities which produce the
disease it becomes a serious and often dangerous disorder. Then the bron
chial tubes are attacked, the bladder and-kidneys diseased,' and often the
lungs become affected by the constant passage of impure blood through
them and Catarrh terminates in Consumption. The impurities and poison3
in the blood which produce Catarrh can never be removed through the use
of sprays, inhalations, washes, etc. Such treatment cannot reach the real
cause, and their use alone should never be depended on to cure the disease.
S. S. S. cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all impure catarrhal matter.
It goes down and attacks the disease at its head, in the circulation, and
removes every trace of the impurity that is causing the trouble. Then as
rich, purified blood is carried to all parts of the system the symptoms grad
ually leave, the health is improved, and S. S. S. makes a permanent cure of
the-trouble. Special book dn Catarrh and any medical advice desired sent
