0 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1909. PRICE-SET ON HEAD OFGEORGEMEYERS Governor Offers $1000 Re ward for Capture of Salem Murderer. SHERIFF IS STILL ACTIVE In Addition to State's Offer, Three Other Amounts, Making Total of $ 1 1 00 Are Hong l"p for Slayer of Policeman. FALEM, Or.. Oct 7. (Sperlal.) To night George Meyers, slayer of Police man Tom Eckhart, sleeps In some farmer's granary or haymow with a price upon hia head. After an hour's discussion of the case this afternoon with Sheriff Mlnto, Gov ernor Benson Issued a proclamation of fering a reward of J1000 for the ar rest, detention or advice of Meyers. The announcement of the reward' Is expected to Instill new vigor Into the man hunt and bring about some definite results. The reward Is offered under Chapter 49, laws of 1905. under which Governor Chamberlain twice offered rewards for the capture of murderers. Sheriff Minto declares there Is no reason for criticism of the officers in connection with the hunt of the Meyers boy. He said today: "I have been doing all I could all the time. The pursuit has never been given up. My deputies all over the county and the officers of neighbor ing counties have been posted and are on the lookout for Meyers. I received Information that made It seem certain Meyers was on the way to his claim. We went there and were out of touch : with the world for nearly two days. Before I went Into the woods I left orders for the boys to follow a certain plan, but they failed to understand the arrangement and the trail was lost. However, the chase has never been given up and will not be until the fugitive is captured.- Sheriff Mlnto says he has no definite Information as to the recent movements of the fugitive, but Intimates that It was he who was seen south of town . Sunday and that Meyers was then working back toward Salem. It Is understood that no word has yet been received from J. L. Combs, the messenger of Meyers Brothers, who has gone out In an effort to Induce the fugitive to come in and surrender. The County Court Is now consider ing the plan of offering a reward also. There Is already a reward of J50 of fered by the city. $25 by Chief Gib son and 125 by Sheriff Minto, making a total at this time of J1100. The grand Jury, which will meet in ad journed session Saturday, it Is learned tonight from reliable authority, will take up the case of George Meyers. In the minds of the officers there is no question that an indictment charging Meyers with first degree murder will be returned. It is expected the grand Jury will also return an Indictment on Saturday against Arthur (Moley) Meyers on the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon as the result of an encounter between Arthur Meyers and a hotelman named Van Allen. Arthur Meyers summoned policeman Tom Eckhart to the room occupied by the Meyers boys to eject Gorge Meyers, which action by the patrolman led to the killing of the officer.-.

Hope Is soaring high In the hearts of the people of this mining city tonight. The rescue parties working to recover the bodies of five entombed miners who were victims of an explosion in a shaft last Sunday, have been working with all pos sible energy, and this evening at 5 o'clock, after 'breaking through a heavy cave-in, the party, led by Mine Inspector R. F. W. Thomas, first came upon the carcass of a dead mule. Going on a little farther It waa greeted by the braying of eight nearly famished mules.

Samuel M. Dolaa. ALBANY, Or., Oct. 7. (Spe cial.) Three tinvs heading his class, Samuel M. Dolan, who has been elected president of the senior class of Notre Dame Uni versity, is an Albany boy.

Going on to the mule barn, they were " further greeted by the faint mewing of a very hungry kitten which was the mascot of the shaft and made Its home In the mule barn. The astonished rescuers quickly watered and fed the famishing animals, for it is the first drop of water or feed they have had since Sunday morning. The kitten was very tenderly carried to the surface by 'the rescue party. Hope Strong for Jones. The finding of mules and kitten alive now leads to a strong hope that John 15. Jonee. the young pumpman. Is still alive. The station where Jones was working Is over 500 feet farther away from the shaft than where the mtile barn Is located, and if the mules survived the explosion there seems a possibility that Jones, and per haps Pszarich and Tomacich, who were working on the 11th west, some distance from the shaft, may still be alive. As Jones' pumping station Is 2800 feet from the shaft, many have strong hope that he is alive. ' This morning General Superintendent J. F. Menzies appointed Mine Inspector R. F. W. Thomas to take charge of clearing and putting the shaft In order and this evening in an interview he said: "Yes, we found eight out of the nine mules alive, also the kitten. Our res cue work this afternoon was divided Into two parties, one party headed by General Manager C. R. Claghorn and State Coal Mine Inspector Dr. Botting, who went In- by the way of the dip with six men and the other party, head ed, by myself with nine men went in number 1 slope. Good Progress Made. "Considering obstacles encountered, both parties made good progress. My party got within 200 feet of the bot tom of the shaft. The other party got as far as the bore hole 700, where they are working through a drift. The explosion did awful havoc in the mine and it Is difficult work, but we are making fairly goody progress, for our air is fair so far. We are pumping pure air Into that slope with a vengeance, let me tell you. No one could have made me believe we would ever find any living thlnfT in that mine, but we did. I hardly think Jones can be alive. I'm afrlad the explosion, went in his direction, but so long as there is a faint hope, no human effort will be spared to reach him. More Oxygen Sent For. "We are. working , In relays , from both directions and may reach him before morning. We have sent for J. A. Holmes, chief of the United States Geological Survey In this district, and he will arrive this evening with an other .Draegar oxygen machine and they will be -taken In tonight so 'we can work at the bottom of the shaft. No effort will be spared now and we will hope for the best to the lasfc I will clean up the shaft at the quickest possible moment." State Coal Mine Inspector Botting will be on duty all night tonight with General Manager Claghorn and J. A. Holmes and Inspector Thomas, and be fore morning some of the bodies of the entombed miners, it Is hoped, will be rescued. ' Check Passer Gets Year. MARSHFIELD. Or.. Oct. 7. (Special.)

Nervous Dyspepsia And Neurasthenia Weakness of the Nervous System Often Dependent Upon Long Continued Indigestion. Neurasthenia, also known as "nervous exhaustion." "nervous- deblillty," and "nervous prostration." is a disease, which in these modern, strenuous times is becoming more and more prevalent. It Is a condition In which there ie more or less marked and persistent loss of energy, together with considerable ir ritability. Persons who suffer from this trouble are easily excited and irritated; cannot do as much work as formerly, and in attempting any mental effort, quickly become confused, and are unable to concentrate the attention. They also complain of insomnia, nervous Indiges tion, depression of spirits, and palpita tion of the heart. There Is a general muscular weak ness; the person cannot walk very far, and Urea quickly on attempting physi cal exertion. There Is a ringing In the ears; blurring of eyesight; headache and vertigo; specks floating before the eyes, and a general restlessness. The ability to sustain prolonged Intellectual effort is Interfered with, and the pa tient Imagines he Is losing his mem ory. Neurasthenics continually watch for new symptoms, unconsciously exagger ate the old ones, attaching undue Im portance to them. Causeless fear is often suffered from; a dread of some impending danger; extreme pessimism; dark forebodings, and hysteria.' Sleep Is not refreshing, and the person feels much more tired tn the morning than at night. Horrible dreams and night mare are usually complained of. But by far the most prominent mani festation of Neurasthenia is Nervous Dyspepsia. In nearly every case, this disturbance of the stomach dominates the complaint. Cause and effect may be transposed, and dyspepsia may be the result of Neurasthenia, but oftener, indigestion is the. original cause of the nervous condition. The nerves are simply "starved" because the stomach j. HicrQt the food DroDerly, and as the nerves are dependent upon the food which the blood aDSorDS irom uio stomach for their sustenance, any de privation thereof Is sure to cause nerve weakness. ' ' The use of "nerve tonics" in this con dition Is a mistake; they merely stimu late, but do not rebuild nerve tissue. Completely digested food Is the only true nerve builder and strengthener; and In the treatment of nervous ex haustion one should first cure the nerv ous dyspepsia, which is usually the origin of the trouble, by .taking STU ART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS in doses of one or two after each meal, or whenever needed, and the long train of nervous symptoms . will be cured along with the nervous dyspepsia. This celebrated remedy Is without a peer in the treatment of nervous indi gestion and, in fact, Indigestion of any kind. They digest all the food with great thoroughness, arid facilitate its absorption by the blood, which carries it to the weakened, diseased nerves and builds them up, so that every symptom of Nervous Exhaustion is gotten rid of.
