Merrymaking on Broadway.
Bmadway waa the eoene of much
revelry, a continuous parade of merry
makers moving up one side of the "Great
White Way" and down the other. Al
though the climax of the satumal. waa
not rearhed until theaters let out their
crowd, the celebration began lonit be
fore the closing of the polls. The matter
of the election of the candidate of one
or the other of the parties played abso
lutely no part In the start of the gen
eral demonstration. The whir. whls.
Jangle and bang: the rush and turmoil,
the clatter and rattle, the shouting, cat
calling and whistling were mere demon
stration of the enthusiasm of the specta
tors, which did not. until some time later,
when the result began to be definitely
known, change to the demonstrattveness
of enthusiasm with political significance
attached to It.
With all th noise and confusion. -the
demeanor of the crowd was In every way
proper and In harmony with the spirit
of the day and hour.

Coroner's Jury Exonerates Patrol

Deputy Coroner Dunnins; and a
Coroner- Jury of six men held an In
ouest at 7:0 o'clock last night Into
the death of J. V. Delaney, the alleged
highwayman who was hot and killed
Saturday night while resisting arrest
at the hands of Patrolman Stahl at the
East Anlteny car barns. After hearing
testimony for two hours, the Jury
reached "a verdict in two minutes of
"Justiliaole killing," and thus upheld
the police officer as having done hi
dutv under the circumstances.
Tha original belief of the police that
Delaney had planned to hold up this
car and was prevented by the fact that
the officer was on the car was
strengthened by the testimony of
motorman W. R. Older, who said that
Delaney had his face covered with a
black m.isk when he first attempted
to board the car.

New Discovery Cure Beaema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubre
Overnight. ,
A few munths ago the dispensers ef
poslam, the new discovery for the curs'
of eczema, decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it.
Previous to that time it could only be
obtained direct from tha laboratories.
Since this change In the method of
distribution,, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of anything
Introduced to the drug trade in the
last 30 years. Ail leading druggists,
Including the Bkidmore Drug Co., Port
land, are now carrying the special 50
cent size recently adopted, also the 12
Jar.
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that, In eczema
eases, pos'.am stops tha Itching with
first application, proceeds to heal Im
mediately, and cures chronic cases In
a few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples, blackheads, acne,
herpes, blotches, rash, etc., results show
after an overnight application. Experi
mental samples of poslam are sent to
anyone by mail free of charge
