Creeping paralysis finally resulted from tbe broken down condition of my health and I came very near to death. During; the greater part of my aickness I could get about the bouse by holding on to articles of fur niture but at tlmea was confined to my beet, Ltsaba Were ekrvakesu "The paralysis came on slowly but was never complete. I bad trouble with my kidneys and my liver was torpid all tbe time. My lower limbs shrunk per ceptibly. I suffered some with shooting pains, my appetite was feeble and I was altogether In a terrible condition, "When tbe diaeaae was at Ita worst I called my wife to my bedside and told her that I was getting worse all the time and If I kept on In this way there would be no help for me. I bad taken Dr. William' Pink PUIS for Pale Peo ple some time before and been bene fited and I told her I thought that If I gave them a thorough, persistent trial they would do me good.

Burden of 19 Per Cent on Frenvnt Gros Income Declared All Com pany Can Bear.' Figures ware given In an address by General Manager Hlld, of the Portland Railway. Light Power Company, be fore the Portland Ad Club yesterday In support of hi contention that the I per cent gross tax proposed to be placed en power and light companies would create sucb a burden that further reductions of rates would be Impossible. The weekly luncheon of the Ad Men yestsr. day was attended by more than lot members. The menu fas a facsimile of the first edition of Tbe Dally Orego nlan. published In 1SS1. The speakera beside Mr. Hlld were Edgar B. Piper, managing editor of The Oregonlan. and B. K. Irvine, associate editor of the Ore gon Journal. Mr. Hlld OlSCUSSea in no-eoen-uw- rtde" ordinance and aald that ne more Impracticable thing- could bavs been suggested. Ha said be felt that the people were desirous of securing effi cient service, and efficient service con sisted of a speedy delivery of the pas aenger from hla borne to the place of his business. In bis Judgment .the ordi nance would be the greatest disturbing factor of retail business that could be devised, for it meant delay, the length ening of schedules and unnecessary In convenience. "The one factor which we are moat vitally Interested In le the 6 per cent rress tax upon light and power compa nies." he said. ' "The Portland Railway. Light Power Company pays more taxes than any other company In Port land. It paid last year SS.:21. This representa 1JV. per cent gross tax on the earnings of the company, the larg est, I believe, to be found anywherct Out of this sum IJO.000 Is paid to the city for bridge rentals. Portland is one of the few cftles In the country where bridge rer.taUs are paid. The bridges are for the use of the taxpayers, and. Inasmuch as we are the beavlest tax pavers, that we should be compelled to pay thla additional burden for the use of the brldgea is hardly fair. In our ludsrmect. New Orleana pays 7H Per cent on gross earnings. In St. Louis the tax paid amounts to 6. per cent on the gross: In Baltimore it Is per cent, and In Washington 6 per cent, while Toledo, O, paya per cent. I cite tbeas facta purely to show yoa that the company I represent Is now paying more taxes than any other company within my knowledge, and the burden Is now all mil we can stand. If you expect ex tension and betterments and the de velopment of the property la keeping with the growth of the city, certainly you should not put burdens upon us that would prevent the company from giving you these thinga you want. We ba.ee been borrow lr.jf money for five J" ear a. , Tbe company haa taken in 621.000,000 and baa expended 640.000.000. We can be taxed so that we cannot borrow any more." The club went on record as opposed to both the "no-seat-no-rlde" ordlnsnce and to the 6 per cent gross tax. as well. Edgar B. Piper treated In a humorous vela the frequent advice received on how a paper abould be run. and conclud ed with reminiscences pertaining to tha facslmllie of The Oregonlan published la 1661. He pointed out that tbe aame names. In many cases, were found In the advertisements of the merchants In the issue of 1861 as can be found In The Orea-onlan of today. He referred to H. L. Plttock's long terra of management of Tbe Ore iron lan. He said be felt that in a aense The Oregonlan typified Port land to a larger degree than any other Institution. B. F. Irvine told several stories and- paid a high tribute to the Ad Club. HOME RULE LAW JOLTED (Continued Prom First Pare.) the sale of liquor for beverage purposes In ths town. Cities and Counties Divorced. The court In deciding this case calls attention to the easy method In which the constitution may be changed, say ing that It is as easy to amend the cone stltution under the Initiative as It Is to psaa a statute, and consequently such amendments, so passed, should. In the opinion of the court, be liberally In terpreted. It Is held that tbe amendment ao chances the organic law as to divorce municipalities from the county of which they form a part. "In effect, separating political entries with respect to each other (Tabor v. Landor, 64 Ky, 2S7. 24J.) in all of which the local op tion law may be put Into effect In the same manner and to the aame extent that It was formerly employed In the entire county. In a subdivision thereof, or In a precinct therein." It la believed that the exclusive power to license or prohibit the sale of In toxicating liquors, which purports to be vested In tbe Incorporated cities and town having been expressly made subject to tbe provisions of the local option law Is necessarily governed by all auch local option provisions so far aa applicable. Election Is Mandatory. In changing mn order for or against prohibition. a petition therefor should be presented to the County Court, which should order an election to be held to determine the question, notwithstanding tbe phrase, "within the limits" of the municipality is used In ths amendment. "In view of thla conclusion." con tinues the decision. "It is unnecessary to determine whether or not the last alteration of the organic act Is self ..viiiin. In that it rinea not reoulre any legislation to carry the amend ment Into effect-" Justice Burnett, in speclslly concur ring, says that he agrees with the conclusions of Justice iioore, nut uia-j A Veritable Slaughter of Really Good Pianos We have only three more days in which to dispose of ' the entire East Side store stock We are determined to sell everything before our for mal Grand Opening, hence this sacrifice.

This court decided that this amend ment made the local option law para mount to any charter or municipal regulation even within the limits of the municipality. The people, speaking for the third time, have crystallized the law aa thus declared Into constitu tional form and have not only repeated the very woras moj oaa have aleo particularly specified by the name the local option law as one of those to which every municipality shall be subject. The people have not stultified themselves, but have spoken in the same way every time on this matter, and their mandate should be obeyed. For these reasons the judgment should be affirmed." Second Case Affirmed. In the case of the State of Oregon against Dan Hearn, appealed from Josephine County, judgment Is also affirmed. This case has to do with the home rule amendment In conjunc tion with the local option laws and has practically the same points Involved as the preceding case. Other opinions today were: John H.
