He described Governor McBrlde as possessing that kind of states manship which has been described as "the art of transforming a nation from what it is to what It ought to be."

The first of Hood River's early Fall ap ples are now being shipped out, but as yet no sales of Winter fruit have been reported.

Pay-Day In Camp. It was payday at Stirling for the lum bermen employed by the Diamond Match Company. All the men were in high spirits In the evening, as they tramped homeward. The first six ar riving at the bridge, on their way to camp, were confronted by the two rob bers, who ordered hands up, In the usual fashion, then marched the squad into the cabin. Here they were searched by the "little fellow," while the "big robber" kept them covered. The cleanup made, the larger robber, a German by his ac cent, left the smaller man in charge, while he went down the road a little way. Soon two more loggers appeared. The German covered them, took their money and marched them into the cabin to keep company with the six. There were now eight victims in the cabin. Again the German went down the road. Twelve loggers were coming up the trail. He called back to his partner, "Too many; let them pass." The German dropped out of sight and the "little fellow" in the cabin ordered the eight victims to keep quiet under penalty of death. The order was obeyed and the 12 passed on, oblivious of what had taken place. Keep on Going Is Order., In a few minutes the robbers took the eight from the cabin up the road and told them to keep going. The robbers then returned to the bridge and met one man. He was robbed and thrown into the cabin. Seven more appeared and the operation was repeated. The men were thrown Into the cabin, relieved of their valuables and ordered to move on. One of the first squad of victims instead of keeping on, left the trail, cut across the hills to Stirling City and notified the officers at mid night. Confident of Capture.

Bryan, the Democratic candidate for President, was the principal speaker tonight at a banquet given by the Lincoln Typographi cal Union in honor of G-. Humphrey O'Sul livan, of Lowell, Mass. He was vocifer ously applauded throughout. Mr. Bryan aid in part: I am glad to be associated with you tn the bonds of this organization for two rea sons. In the first place, because you are representatives of the great labor organiza tions of the country and you represent one of ihe most Important branches of the labor of the country; you represent one of the best organlaed branches of labor In the country. And I believe tn the organization of the laboring men. I believe In the or ganization for what It does for those who belong to It and I believe In It for what It doe for those who don't belong to It, for According, to my understanding of the work of labor organizations Its effects are nof confined to its members. I believe the labor organizations of this country are more responsible than any other one thing for the improvement of labor con ditions In the United States daring the last 25 years. And the improvements that they have wrought In the conditions that sur round the laboring men are shared by those who do not belong to the organization and who have not. as members, contributed to the expense of the organization. Not only do they secure the benefit of the higher wages that have been brought about by or ganization, but they receive the benefits, the large benefits, that come from the advance ment of the various social reforms behind which, the organized labor stands.

Mr. Lang spoke of other cities, par ticularly of the Kansas City park system and bow it was developed very largely by assessing of the costs. The $1,000,000 of the present bond Issue would, he said, be a drop In the bucket in purchasing and improving ground for parks. He said the Park Board Is negotiating for the purchase of a 13-acre tract adjoining the city park. Talks followed by Dr. William DeVeny, Frank J. Perkins. Joseph Buchtel, Coun cilman A. N. Wills, Father Greggory, Frank B. Gibson and O. E. Heintz.

Eczema, Acne, Tetter, pimples, rashes, eruptions, etc., show that some unhealthy humpr or acid impurity is diseasing; and corrupting the circulation, so that instead of supplying nourishment and strength to the fine, delicate tissues of the skin, it is continually pouring tut its acrid and unhealthy accumulations. External applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc., may relieve some of the itching and other discomfort caused by skin troubles, and for this reason should be used, but such treatment cannot reach the humor-laden blood, and therefore cannot cure. A thorough cleansing of the blood is the only cure for skin diseases. S. S. S., a purely vegetable preparation, is the best and quickest remedy. It goe3 down into the circulation and neutralizes and removes the acids, impurities and humors, thoroughly purifies the circulation and permanently cure3 skin diseases of every kind. When S. S. S. has driven the humors and impurities from the blood, and cooled and cleansed the acid-heated circulation, every symptom passes away, the skin is again nourished with rich, healthful blood and the trouble cured, as the cause has been removed.

AIMS AT GREAT MONARCHY Witness at Montenegrin Conspiracy Trial Makes Revelations Which Cause His Arrest and That of Many Others. LONDON, Aug. 12. Nastitich. who was the principal witness at the trial in June at Cettlnje of 36 prisoners charged with revolutionary .activity in connection with the discovery of a score of bombs, at which sensational testimony was adduced involving Crown Prince George of Servia in a conspiracy against Montenegro, has published a book at Buda Pest, in which he accuses King Peter of Servia of com plicity in the bomb plot for the extinc tion of the Montenegrin dynasty. He declares that the aim of the con spiracy was to incorporate Montenegro and the Slav provinces of Austria-Hungary under 9jrvian power. His reve lations have been followed by numerous arrests In Croatia. King Peter Monday telegraphed the Servian Representative In London, de claring that all of the allegations made by Nastitich both at the trial and in his book concerning the King of Servia and Montenegro were lies and as absurd as they were ridiculous. A dispatch received here from Vienna last night announces that Nastitich ias been arrested at Agram, capital of Croatia and Slavonia. charged with high treason and that wholesale arrests con tinue there and elsewhere. The dispatch announces that the entire Council of a small town on the Bonsnian frontier has been taken into custody.
