EattUtf"" JS7 Trie Qjuusa-rrV Stcre- oi Portland Spouse, Who Is Osteopath, Just Ob tains License to Practice, but Is More Glad That Hia Wife Will Get Well. Life is a shadow-land for Dr. C. F. Bcheller. Persons move before him as vague blurs, and their voices and touch are the only realities lie knows. He Is blind. ' Yesterday forenoon he entered his room at 448 Yamhill street and groped forward. On the floor his feet en countered the body of his girl-wife. A shadow,, darker than all blindness, swirled over hiB thought. He knelt beside her and placed his ear to her lips. "I have taken aconite," came the faint whisper. "One is less to care for than two." Hasty Act Regretted. Dr. Scheller in a graduate osteopathic Physician. He roused the rooming house and sent for aid. Then he stooped above the unconscious form and labored in frenzy to lend vigor to the failing heartbeats. An interne from the Emergency Hospital hastened to the house in an automobile, gave restorative treatment and ordered that Mrs. Scheller be taken at once toGood Samaritan Hospital. She will live. "When realization re turned to her, her husband was by her side in the hospital ward. Bhe smiled wanly into the eyes that could not see. "I'm awfully, awfully sorry," she said. "I want to live, now." The story of the blind physician and his wife is that of a struggle against the odds of life. Undaunted by his af fliction he wrested an education from a California university. Wait (or License Is Lons. In Yuba County he met pretty Minnie McClary. 19 years old, the daughter of a prominent English family in On tario. The little blind god enlisted for the blind student. They were to be married when he received his license to practice. In October last Dr. Scheller cam. to Portland. In January he took the ex amination for his license, but failed through a technicality. But they were married in March, at Vancouver, "Wash trusting to success at the next exam ination. Meantime Dr. Scheller invest ed nearly all of his savings in a resi dence property at "Newburg, expecting to locate there when he received his license. In June he again ventured the examination, and a few days ago re ceived word that he had been success ful. His license was to be forwarded to him within the week. But the long wait for a prosperous practice, while their funds were ex hausted, weighed upon the wife. She was the fetter on her husband's prog ress, she told herself. Loss of Position Worries. The double burden of his blindness and her care hampered him, she thought. She had sought to aid him by working in a department store. There came a day when she lost her Job. So, while her husband was absent from the room on an errand, she sought the bottle of aconite, remembered all that he had told her of the deadly monk's hood, and drank. "My heart Jumped as though It would break, when I found her and she whi pered to me," said Dr. Sheller. "But now she is going to get well Bhe is going to get well!" In his voice was a great gladness that banished all fear of the future, Beers, of Salem, Is at the Starrett. of Seattle, Is at the Bettis, of Coburg, is at the PERS0NALMENTI0N.

Confer arbitrary power on Commis sioner of Public Utilities Daly, and the City Council. Compel written statements of ac count in silly detail, which no passen ger would accept nor wait for the chauffeur to make out. CANDIDATES BOB UP Chauffeurs Allege in Complaint- Tliat Xew City Ordinance Is Ar bitrary, Harsh, and Rules Impossible to . Fulfill. Commissioner Daly's vehicle-for-hire ordinance is attacked in a complaint filed in the Circuit Court yesterday by A. W. Lafterty on behalf of Barney Barr and 26 other drivers of public motor conveyances. An order tempo rarily to restrain Mayor Albee from putting the ordinance into operation is sought, pending the outcome of the proceedings. The action is filed against H. R. Albee. The ordinance, passed July 19 and in tended to go into effect August 19. would ultimately destroy the business of Portland's chauffeurs engaged in the operation of taxicabs, autos for hire and sight-seeing vehicles, it is charged in the complaint. The plaintiffs main tain that the ordinance is harsh, arbi trary and unreasonable, and was en acted without reason or demand from either the public or men against whom it is aimed. Here are a few things the chauffeurs say the ordinance will do: Cause chauffeurs to submit to inspec tions at unreasonable times. Cause their arrest for trivial matters.

The first shyness apparently having worn off, any number of perfectly good and eligible possibilities are looming in the offing as prospective candidates for joint State Senator from Multnomah. Clackama. and Columbia counties to succeed George M. McBrlde, who re signed to run for Judge of Multnomah County. E. E. Coovert already has been nom inated by a mass meeting of voters as an Independent candidate and has ac cepted. Under the law to get his name on the ballot a candidate for the va cancv must be named at such a mass meeting and must run as an lndepen dent. Friends of W. A. Carter are urging his chances. A preliminary meeting was held the other day at which it was decided to go the mass meeting which nominated Mr. Coovert one better by having representatives present all three of the counties in th. district. According to present plans, the mass meeting to nominate Mr. Carter will be held early next week. But that is not all. George W. Hoyt Is mentioned and so is ex-State Senator Dan Kellaher. ' Delegations of friends are visiting each of them and urging them to get Into the race. C. W. Hod son is another one mentioned. Nor is this all. Clackamas and Co lumbia counties have prospective candi dates, as well as Multnomah. Before the month is out it is quite likely that naif a dozen candidates for the vacant Senatorship, which has two years to run, will be in the field. In accepting the nomination tendered him by mass meeting, Mr. Coovert said in part: 'I deeply appreciate the expression or confidence this nomination implies. 1 take -it, in a large measure, as a recog nition of the work which Mr. Benson, Mr. Yeon, myself and associates are try ing to accomplish in this community. But whether I am a candidate or not my campaign slogan is, "Charles E. Hughes for President of the United States." " The committee that notified Mr. Coo vert of bis nomination was composed of F. W. Beach. J. E. Stamper. George W. Stokes. Dr. C. W. Cornelius and Perry Baker. tract has been awarded and work will be started soon. Few Assessments Protested. KELSO, Wash., Aug. 11. (Special.) The Board of Equalization for Cow lit County had but little work this year, the session at Kalama the past week finding very few complaints. A few minor complaints were settled in the Assessor's office without coming BRIDGE FILL TO BE PAVED Council Discards Planking Option When Cost Is Compared. Pavement will be laUl on the earth fills on the two ends of the viaduct on the extension of Union avenue from Bryant etreet to the south approach of the Interstate bridge without waiting for the fills to completely settle. This was decided by the City Council yes terday, when the issue was put up by Commissioner Dieck. Mr. Dieck said it will be necessary either to plank the road for next Win ter or to pave it and take a chance on settlement. He - estimated that the cost of planking will be more than the cost of paving repair If there is settle ment. Accordingly the paving plan was favored by xn. Council.
