TWO RALLIES IN PORTLAND Meetings This Week at South Port land and Sellwood Enthusiasm in Eastern Oregon Big Time at Union Club Smoker. In the management of the campaign by the Republicans in this state. State Secre tary McArthur is receiving the loyal co operation of the younger members of the party. Heading the list might be men tioned R. R. Butler, of Condon, one of the party's Presidential electors, who is proving one of the most capable speakers on the stump. Frederick Steiwer, a young attorney of this city, has also volunteered his services and will make his maiden speech at Forest Grove Monday night, when he will speak in conjunction with Mr. Butler. Another young Republican who is doing effective campaigning Is Representative elect McKinney, of Baker County, who Is touring the Willamette Valley with Mr. Butler. Monday night these speakers ad dressed a meeting at Eugene, which was one of the most notable political meetings that has been held in Lane County In years. In addition to those enumerated, several others are taking an active part in the campaign in different parts of the state. Many not so capable as public speakers, are doing helpful work in assist ing in the minor details incident to con ducting a vigorous compaign. Young Orators Plentiful. Secretary McArthur reports that the services of the younger element in the pr.rty never before were more plentiful, while the introduction of new blood into the speechmaking programme is appre ciated by the voters. Since the campaign opened Secretary McArthur has received more than a score of invitations urging him to visit differ ent parts of the state and make addresses. The energetic young secretary would glad ly comply with these requests so far as the time would permit but he finds that the duties of secretary during the vigor ous campaign that is being conducted oc cupy his time fully and preclude the possibility of his leaving his post of duty, where he is convinced he can perform equally as effective service for the party. Owing to the Inability of Secretary Mc Arthur to Eecure a suitable hall for next Tuesday night, the engagement of Con gressman W. B. Humphrey, of Washing ton, for tills city on that date may have to be cancelled. In that event the Wash ington man will deliver an address on that evening either at Eugene or Medford. Meetings In Eastern Oregon. H. M. Cake, brother of State Chairman Cake, who proffered ills services to the State Committee following his return from the Orient several weeks ago, will ad dress a meeting at Drain next Saturday night. Other appointments are being ar ranged for Mr. Cake during the conclud ing week of the campaign. In Eastern Oregon the Republicans are making extensive arrangements for the meetings to be addressed by Judge H. E. McGinn, of this city, during the last week of the campaign. Judge McGinn will speak at Baker City, La Grande and Pen dleton. Secretary McArthur yesterday received from F. H. Bartlett, secretary of the Taft and Sherman Club at Hermiston, the following report of the recent meeting at that place, addressed by J. D. Lee, Presidential elector: "The city of Hermiston received Its first sample of campaign oratory when Hon. J. D. Lee addressed an audience of sev eral hundred voters of this place and vicinity. Mr. Lee spoke with great force. enthusiasm and originality. tor two hours the speaker held the attention of the audience and was warmly applauded for his able discussion of the issues in the pending campaign. As Hermlston's pioneer political orator, Mr. Lee was a success and did much for the ultimate triumph of the Republican party in this new irrigation country." Two Local Rallies. Locally two important rallies are sched uled for the week, both of which will be addressed by Senator Fulton. The first one will be held at Jones Hall. Front and Gibbs streets. Thursday night under the auspices of the South Portland Republican Club. At this meeting Frank Hennessy will sing and other musical talent has been secured. Friday night Senator Ful ton will speak at Strahlman's Hall, Sell wood, East Thirteenth and Spokane ave nue Monday night, October 28. Senator Fulton will address the voters at Sunny side. "Thirty Thousand for Taft" is the prominent slogan printed on the postal card invitations which have been issued by the Union Republican Club for its monthly smoker to be held in the Selling Hlrsch building. Saturday night. October A BAD BACK IS A BAD HANDICAP Few of us can afford to be Idle, and to those who work, a sound, strong back is a necessity. A bad back pre vents rest or sleep, and aches all day with a dull, tired throb. Don't think because sharp twinges strike you when you life, or twist about, or reach, that your work is too hard for you. Bad backs are com mon in every occupation. Those aches ant twinges arc only Nature's warning that the kidneys need help. I It is easy to tell If the kidneys are sick, and are not thoroughly doing their work of filtering the blood. Backache- is an early warning. Head ache, dizzy spells, puffy swellings under the eyes or In the ankles and legs, nervousness, irritability, rheu matic pain and tired feelings also tell of kidney ills. Examine the urine. If is is extreme ly pale and light, the kidneys are not getting out all of that uric poison. If !t is dark colored and thick, passages too frequent, or too scanty, if there is any sediment deposited when it stands, if passages burn or pain, that is proof enough that the kidneys need atten tion. Doan's Kidney Pills have given strong, sound backs to thousands. This remedy cures backache and urinary DOAN'S KIDNEY Sold by all dealers. 31. The speakers for this occasion will be Hon. Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton. and County Judge Lionel R. Webster, of this city. Music will be furnished by the club orchestra, directed by W. H. Mac Corquodale. The committee having charge of the details of the smoker consists of: F. E. Beach, Dr. Emmett Drake, Elmer B. Colwell, F. S. Doernbecher. J. F. Kertchem and Max G. Cohen. John Gill Is president of the club DEMOCRATS ARE DISAPPOINTED Fail to Secure Speakers of National Reputation for Local Rallies. Disappointment following disappoint ment has rolled in upon Democratic headquarters In this city during the last few days, concerning the availabil ity of speakers of National reputation who might close the campaign here with a grand hurrah. Following the announcement Monday that Governor Sanders, of Louisiana, would reach Portland yesterday to spend several days and possibly deliver addresses. Na tional Committeeman Miller yesterday received another telegram informing him that the Southern Governor had cancelled his Portland appointment and would not visit this state. This disappointment was the more keen from the fact that only a day or two before word was received at the same headquarters that Congressman Champ .Clark, of Missouri, would be unable to visit Oregon. The fond hope of the Democrats that John Worth Kern, the nominee for Vice-President, might be sent to Oregon by the National Committee, was abandoned some time ago, when information was received that the services of Mr. Kern and the other party leaders and orators could more profitably be employed in the doubtful states of the Middle West. It now begins to look as though the Democrats, ir. concluding the campaign with a big rally at the Armory, as it is proposed, if that building can be se cured, will be compelled to rely on local talent. These numerous disappoint ments as to notable speakers, however, has not dissipated the activity of State Chairman Sweek, or County Chairman Thomas, both of whom are arranging for various rallies in Multnomah County and throughout the state, for the remainder of this week and next week. State Senator O. P. Coshow, of Rose burg, .one of the party's Presidential Electors, was in Portland for a few hours yesterday on his way to Eastern Oregon, where he will spend the next 10 days in advocating the election of Bryan and Kern. He reported that general apathy existed among both the Republican and the Democratic organ izations of Douglas County, but said the Republicans, if anything, were less ac tive than their political opponents. Be cause of those conditions, the Senator said the Republicans did not expect to carry the county by more than 200. County Chairman Thomas has ar ranged for three rallies this week, as follows: Wednesday night, at Fox's Hall, Troutdale; speakers, John H. Stevenson and Bert E. Haney. Thurs day night, Bickner's Hall, St. John; speakers, Judge Thomas O'Day and John A. Jeffrey. Friday night, Fire Hall, Milwaukie street, Midway; speak ers, John Manning and some other Democrat yet to be selected. BRYAN MONEY ' SOON TAKEN Rainier Democrat Willi $1000 Promptly Finds Wager Covered. Word was telephoned to Republican headquarters yesterday that a resident of Rainier had $1000 he desired to wager that Bryan would carry Oregon. The message had no sooner been an nounced than one Republican, who chanced to be In the office of Secretary McArthur, and who was looking for Just such a snap, grabbed the instru ment and was soon in communication with the Rainier man. Upon Inquiring the terms of the proposed wager, he was Informed by the Bryan admirer that the latter wished to post $1000 or any part that Taft would not carry Oregon by 20,000, or that the Republican nominee would not have 1.000,000 plurality In the popular vote over Bryan. The anx ious Republican promptly assured the man looking for a bet that he would cover the wager on the latter stipula tion and would be willing to place more money on the same terms.

PROTEST BY BANK Receiver of Title Company Ob jects to Assessment. OTHERS APPEAL TO BOARD Western Union and Mount Hood Railroad Among Companies That Want Sigler's Figures Can celed or Greatly Reduced. Although R. S. Howard, receiver of the defunct Title Guarantee & Trust Company, has filed with the County Board of Equalization a letter in which he objects to the asesment of the bank's merchandise and stock in trade at $62,500. and Its furniture at $i"00, it seems probable that the bank will be obliged to paj- the tax. The receiver Informed Assessor Sigler, in his com munication, that as the bank's prop erty Is in the hands of a receiver ap pointed by the Federal Court, it is exempt from taxation. It appaears that there is no Oregon state law as to whether or not a de funct Institution is liable for taxation, but the weight of authorities on the subject is said to be to the effect that the claim against the defunct corpora tion or firm for taxes takes precedence over the claims of creditors, even though the state's claim is made after the claims of creditors have been passed upon by the court. The Western Union Telegraph Com pany has protested this year, as It did last, against the payment of the tax. upon its franchise. Assesor Sigler placed the same valae upon it this year that he did in 1907, namely $15,000. j. F. Rawie, local manager of the com pany, filed with the equalization boa:d a sworn statement in which he says that the corporation secured from the Government in 1886 its right to do busi ness in Oregon, and that although It also holds a franchise from the city, the streets are only "post roads." It is contended that to assess the fran chise given by the city is double tax ation. Charles E. Hill stated yesterday that although his automobile was assessed at $1000, he sold it for $150, and it cost him $425. He asks that the as sesment be reduced accordingly. Marx & Bloch want an assessment of $45,000 reduced to $15,900. It is their contention that their merchandise, assessed at $35,000 is worth only $14. 000, and that money, notes and accounts assesed at $10,000 are worth but $1900. The proprietors of the Barr Hotel, of North Portland, which was recently de stroyed by a fire which swept that por tion of the city, ask that an assessment of $15,300 be cancelled because of tho destruction of the building. At the time the assessment was made the structure was still standing, so that it is probable the owners of the property will be obliged to pay a tax upon it. . The locomotive of the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company was not purchased until after -March 1, the time for assessments, according to the company's protest filed yesterday. It is also asserted that 47 horses are as sessed to the company, while they be long to a contractor. The company asks that the assessment of $16,300 be reduced to $4000. The John Deere Plow Company wants an assessment of $26,000 reduced to $11,000. The latter is the value placed upon the money, notes and accounts, to which the company does not object. The $15,000 valuation placed upon its merchandise, however, is said to have been included In another item. The- J. I. Case Threshing Company also objects to its assessment. Tho firm asks that it be reduced from $70, 000 to $15,000. The $30,000 valuation, placed upon merchandise is twice what It should be, it is contended. It is also asserted that the monej-, notes and ac counts item should be cancelled, as the accounts have been transmitted to the firm's Eastern office. Only a Is an ordeal which all women approach with indescribable fear, for nothing compares with the pain and horror of child birth. The thought of the suffering and danger in its use gently prepares tne system troubles by removing the cause, by cur ing the kidneys. Seventy-five years ago Doan's Kid ney P1113 were curing kidney troubles in a settlement of Quaker farmers. Now the remedy is used in all the civilized world. It is praised abroad In many tongues. It is recommended at home by people you know. PORTLAND TESTIMONY. Mrs. A. S. Cummlngs. living at 244 Clackamas S.. Portland, Or., says: "I am always pleased to say a good word in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills and am glad to confirm the statement I gave in favor of this excellent remedy some years ago after it had re lieved me of a bad case of kidney trouble. This complaint had clung to me for a long time and often the at tacks of pain in my back were so acute as to be almost unbearable. There was also a dull, heavy aching in the region of my kidneys and, although I was con stantly using remedies I continued to suffer. The irregular action of the kidney secretions showed that my mis ery all arose from my kidneys, and when Doan's Kidney Pills were recom mended to me I procured them from the Lane-Davis Drug Co. They not only eradicated the pains in my back, but strengthened my kidneys and improved my general health." . . iMi!!raMiiniinmiMMMi PILLS N.Y.. Proprietors.

Lawler, superior of the Dominican branch of the Roman Catho lic priesthood in this city, who met with a painful accident on July 4 last, during the dedication of the Catholic orphanage at Oswego, is still confined in St. Vincent's Hospital. Both bones of his left leg were fractured near the knee. In ordinary cases of this char acter recovery is experienced within eight w-eks after the fracture. In the case of Rev. Mr. Lawler the injured member was placed in a plaster cast and treated with the most scienti fic methods but the fractured bones have so far failed to unite.
