made before Judge Gantenbein yester
day morning in her suit for a divorce

that it was a remarkable case, hut
that he was obliged to grant the de

not know that she had agreed to a
lifelong contract when she was mar
ried by Rev. W. A. M. Breck on De
cember 28 last year.

her. telling her that her parents had
given their consent to the wedding.
Trial Marriage Knds in Court.
The first trial marriage which has
ever come to the notice of the Circuit

morning. Alexander V. Downing and
Laura Smelley were married in Chi
cago. November 26. 1904. under assumed
names, that their attachment for each
other and their wedding might be kept
fiom their relatives and friends un
til they were better able to tell wheth
er or not they were suited to each
other. During the four years since
the wedding they have lived together
only one week, according to Downing's
testimony on the witness stand be
fore Judge Gantenbein yesterday morn
ing. He obtained a divorce.
'Downing said that for the purpose
of matrimony he assumed the name of

known under her maiden name until
April, 1905. when she became known as
Mrs. Downing, and they moved to
Springfield. 111., where they rented
rooms at 924 North Fourth street, and
went to housekeeping. But Downing
found It very unsatisfactory, for his
wife left him to do the cooking and
housework. She afterward surrendered
the rooms without his knowledge and
went to teaching school. She told
him, he said, that she preferred teach
ing to keeping house. Judge Ganten
bein granted the divorce.

that she has borne, with her husband's
cruelty for the last 10 years.
Frankle Oossett obtained a divorce

The divorce suit of Jessie Church
against Delbert Church was to have
been tried yesterday, but neither the
plaintiff nor her attorney appeared.
Mrs. Church says that while she was
living with her husband at Bandon
he would often arise In the middle of
the night and go out to sit or lie on
the ocean beach until morning. They
went to a dancing party April 23, last
year, but Mr. Church was not ac
quainted with the modern dances. ' So
Mrs. Church told him on which side of
Ills partner he ought to stand, at which
he became angry, she says, and left
the house. When he returned he was
abusive, giving evidences of the In
fluence of liquor. His wife went to
work as a cook in a Bandon restau
rant. As she was on the night shift
she did not return home until 1 A. M.
She says her husband often watched
for her and threatened her life. They
were married at Bandon. March 16.

name, Jessie Osborn.
Says Cooking Smelled Badly.
Alleging that the goods in his tailor
shop at 3S4 Morrison street are permeated
with foul, repugnant and disagreeable
odors because Sam Makin conducted the
Blue Foint Oyster House adjoining in an
uncleanly manner. M. A. Zelig has
brought suit in the Circuit Court to re
cover fTM damages. He says that Makin
also used a portion of the building which
Zelig had rented, and demands $390 dam
ages for that, making J1130 in all.
CHILDREN' PREFER FATHER
Say Mrs. .Noyes "Runs Around With
. ' Other Men."
The divorce suit of Albert J. Noyes
against Josephine Noyes was continued
before Judge Gatcns in Circuit Court
yesterday. Two of the children were
placed on the stand and while giving
their testimony were asked which parent
they preferred. They replied that they
liked their father best, because their
mother "runs around with other men."
The 19-year-old daujliter Alice, told of
going to the kitchen for a drink of water
one night after she had retired, and sup
posed -the rest of the family had, too.
But she unexpectedly found Sollers,
charged with being Mrs. Noyes' "affin
ity," sitting on the sofa with her mother.
She said she could not see very distinct
ly, because the lamp was in the kitchen,
while they were sitting in an adjoining
room.
The girlt also told of a fight between
Noyes and Sollers, in which her mother
took a hand, throwing a pan of half
baked bread at her father, which he
caught.
Mrs. Noyes l.erself went on the stand
yesterday afternoon in her own behalf,
and engaged in frequent tilts with the
attorneys. She accuses her husband f
being to blame for their marital unhap
piness. OBJECT TO PAYING FOR FILL
Property-owners on Cnion Avenue
Take Matter Into Courts.
The owners of the property abutting
Cnion avenue, between East Oak and
East Sixth streets, object to paying for
the fill which the city has made. A
petition for a writ of review of the

filed in Circuit Court yesterday. It is
alleged that the city had no author
ity to make a re-assessment until It

petition asks that the Circuit Court
order a hearing on the writ of review
before April 5. and that the re-assessment
be set aside.
A. I Barbur, City Auditor, is named

DOUBTS STDRY OF GOBBLE
COl'HT SYMPATHIES WITH JES
SIE CAMERON" FISHER.
Man's Tale of Being Chloroformed
i by Woman Disbelieved by
Judge Van Zante.
Just whether David C. Cobble, itiner
ant photographer, was chloroformed by
Jessie Cameron Fisher, adventuress, at
the Knickerbocker House, several nights
since, or whether he took the chloroform
to end a life that had become unhappy
because the woman refused to favor him
with her affections, proved a problem that
Municipal Judge Van Zante declined to
solve, when the case was heard yester
day morning. There was much evidence
either way, and when it was all In the
court said he would give the woman the
benefit of the doubt and let her go. al
though he was convinced of her mer
cenary spirit.
Cobble, who is something near 30,
unhandsome and unsophisticated, told the
story of his approach to the verge of
death In minute detail. The woman, who
may be 25, on the border line between
being homely and comely, and quite so
phisticated, declined to take the stand,
contenting herself with a recital of the
conflicting stories told by Cobble when he
came out from under the chloroform.
Two witnesses, Monroe Goldstein and
James V. Sayre, quoted Cobble as hav
ing said he tried to suicide. They de
scribed farewell letters which he left to
his mother, the newspapers, the police
and Coroner.
Cobble, too, was said to have planned
leaving the city and avoiding the hearing
of the case. He was seen to enter a
ticket office, where he inquired as to the
rates out of Portland. Detective Price
cornered him as he left the ticket office
and saw to It that he was in court.
The photographer's story was a reiter
ation of what he had previously told the
authorities. On arriving in the city he
met the woman and began taking her
about to theaters and grill-rooms, he said.
One evening he called on her at the
Knickerbocker. There was another man
there. Cobble procured a bottle of wine.
While he was out of the room the woman
opened It and poured out three glasses.
He drank one of them, and in a few
minutes became dizzy. That was the last
he could remember until he recovered
his senses In bed. to find that the au
thorities had taken him in charge as a
would-be suicide. As to the farewell
letters attributed to him, he said he re
called writing no such messages, and if
they were in existence the woman must
have compelled him to write them while
under her control. When he lost con
sciousness he had $135. he said. When
he came to he had nothing.
The court said it was entirely probable
the woman was of a mercenary disposi
tion and had effected the separation that
had occurred between Cobble and his
coin. But as there was considerable
doubt as to whether any chloroforming
occurred, the woman would be discharged.
She was represented by John Henry
Stevenson, while the case was prosecuted
by Deputy District Attorney Hennessy.

to another, icferred to in yesterday's
Oregjnian is partly to be accounted for
by the diversity of shipments to Cali
fornia ports. Spot wheat, while running
low, as is to 1)3 expected at this season
of the year, is yet of sufficient volume
to provide good sized cargoes coastwise
for some weeks to come.
Lumber trade south was never better

03. C., from which port she will come di
rect to Portland to load. She Is a steel
vessel and was built In 1S9S.
Among the large vessels that will figure
In March lumber shipments Is the Yeddo,
a Britisher, which will arrive here Sun
day from Comox, B. C. She is to pro
ceed to Sydney, N S. W-, taking about
2.000,000 feet of lumber. Following her
will be the British steamship Croydon to
load for Calcutta. She will carry about
3,000,000 feet.

GREAT SOUTHERN
Extension Planned of Road
Now in Operation South
From The Dalles.
LOCAL CAPITAL CONTROLS
Koute Into Central Oregtm Said to
Be Easiest Yet Surveyed Ab- .
sorption by Hill Inter
ests Possible.
The Great Southern Railroad Company,
which is in operation from The Dalles
south to Dufur, a distance of 30 miles,
has been made the object of considerable
interest lately by the big railroad inter
ests of the Pacific Northwest. The road,
it is understood: is to be extended further
south to Kingsley, and thence on to the
crossing of Tygh Creek, and work on the
surveys la expected to be pushed -during
the coming season. The road was built
largely by Portland- capital, the Meier &
Frank Company being largely interested
This road offers a splendid route into
Interior Oregon, and if acquired by the
Hill Interests would provide an ideal ave
nue for traffic from the inland prairies
of the state. It could be extended south
ward, crossing the Deschutes River at
Sherar's Bridge, and thence southward
indefinitely through Southern Oregon. It
is said this route offers far easier con
struction than the surveys heretofore
made up the Deschutes River, at a much
less cost per mile, while it would have
equal advantages as to grades.
The question of the possible absorp
tion of this property has really more be
hind it than the taking over of the pres
ent road as built, on account of the fu
ture possibilities of an extension through
the state, and it has been rumored that
representatives of the big warring inter
ests had been angling industriously with
a view to obtaining the road for their
purposes.
Julius L. Meier, of the Meier & Frank
Company, on being interviewed, said that
representatives of the different railroad
interests had made overtures toward pur
chasing the Great Southern Railroad,
but that the officers of the company were
well satisfied with its present prospects,
and there was nothing definite to say as
to the possibility of the road changing
hands. Mr. Meier said that plans for
extending the road some 25 to 50 miles
were well under way, which extension
had been under consideration for some
time. Several railroads are understood
as looking upon the Great Southern
Railroad Company with interested eyes.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
The success of 'modern methods is
perhaps, more clearly defined in the
practice of medicine than in any other
line of human endeavor.
For Instance: Years ago remedies of
various kinds were used in treating
consumption, and nine-tenths of the pa
tients died. Today little medicine is
prescribed and they recover. The doc
tors have learned that the best way to
combat most ills Is by the Indirect
method of stimulating the body's
natural power of resistance. Consump
tion is much easier to prevent than to
cure. Neglect of a common cold is often
the starting point of this dread dis
ease. At the first indication of a cold every
effort should be made to check it at
once. It is claimed that a half-ounce of
Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure,
mixed with two ounces of Glycerine
and a half pine of good Whisky, taken
in teaspoonful doses every four hours,
will break up a cold in twenty-four
hours and cure any cough that is curable.-
The Ingredients can be pur
chased at the Skidmore Drus Co., or
any first-class pharmacy.
This formula has been in use for
years. It was the favorite remedy
of the old mountaineer,- who would
macerate the shavings of a pine knot in
whisky. Modern science lias combined '
the active princiDies of the Pine and
Santalwood trees which is known
under the name of Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure. This preparation is
put up for dispensing only in half
ounce vials, each vial securely sealed
in a round wooden case, and prepared
only by Leach Chemical Co., Cincin

NERVOUS AND
A weak and debilitated nervous
6ystcm is the underlying cause of
lost manly vitality. Nerv
ous debility Is due to lack of
nerve power. There is no excuse
for the multitude of men who are
unequal to enjoying the health of
man in the highest stage of per
fection. It was never intended
that man at any time should be
lacking in the essential elements
that constitute a robust man, nor
would any man ever suffer those
mortifying and embarrassing con
sequences if his nervous system
did not become weak and shat
tered.
fcince the nervous system con- '
trols the action of all organs, and
is the motor from which all power
of the body is derived, it is evi
dent that the proper and only
successful way to bring back vim,
vlfror and vitality is to treat the
nervous system. IVe revive the
vim of strength in treating men by a system that recharges the nerve
force, and when we dismiss the sufferer there will never again be a sign
of weakness, except brought on by Imprudence.
