The men made an ex cellent showing, particularly in march ing. When the foreign veterans, un der the leadership of Sergeant Harry E. Cooley, came upon the floor, bow ever, it was easily seen that they possessed an ease of movement and a maturity of experience which only months of the work can bring. Th veterans were superb In the gun drill and almost equally good at marching.

LECTURER LOSES TEMPER Walter Thomas Mills Roasts Van couver Prunarians. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Feb. 11. (Special.) Waiter Thomas MIIIsl lec turer for the Non-Fartisan league and triple alliance, is in this section of the state organizing and lecturing. He was to have spoken before the Vancouver chamber of commerce and the Prunarians tonight when they were to hold their weekly meeting. The Prunarians did not know that the invitation had been extended, and there is a by-law of the organiza tion that politics and religion will not be discussed at any meeting of the organization, so he could not make his address. This caused Mr. Mills to publish a letter in which he censures the vari ous civic bodies and which ends: "Very well, they will not be able to postpone the election now to pre vent the hearing of these issues in the campaign. After that the men who wish to govern the country but are afraid to frankly listen to our case will themselves postpone any fur ther show in tha government of thi country." ITY HALL CLOSED TODAY One-Day Holiday Granted to All Municipal Employes. Following discussion at two meet ings of the city council it was decided that the anniversary of the bjrth of Abraham Lincoln' would be observed today by the closing of the city hall and the granting of a one-day holiday to all city employes. At the morning session it was de cided that because of the lack of funds in the city treasury it would be im possible to pay approximately $2000 which must be paid for extra help to replace the policemen and firemen who must be given one day off if they are compelled to work today. Reconsideration of the matter at a meeting in the afternoon came about when a resolution by Commissioner Mann was adopted by the votes of Commissioners Mann, Pier and Bar bur. Commissioner Blgelow voted against the resolution. As a result the city hall will be closed all day. The controversy arose because Lincoln's birthday, although a legal holiday, is not included in the ordinance designating holidays to be observed by the city.

"T just want you to know and everybody else to know what this Tanlac medicine has done for me," said Mrs. Emma Briggs, who lives at 48 Crew street, Atlanta, Ga.. when she called for her second bottle re cently. "I have been sick so long and suf fered so much that I feel like I wouldn't be doing right if I did not let everybody know what it has done in my case. "For the past six or seven years I have been in a rundown condition, nervous, weak and at times very dizzy. I had nervous headaches and indigestion perfectly awful. My stom ach was so weak I could not digest the lightest kind of food. I was so nervous and depressed. I was simply all to pieces, and slept very badly. I become so despondent over my condi tion that I thought nothing would help me. "It certainly was lusky for me when I heard of Tanlac It Is not like any other medicine I have taken it seems to soothe my stomach and is a fine tonic, too, because my appetite Is good now, and I digest what I eat. "I began to eat better, feel better and sleep better from the very first dose, and the change in my condition has been wonderful. I have not weighed lately, but I know I must have gained a whole lot in weighf. Everybody notices how much better I am looking. "If anyone had told me that there was a medicine on earth that would make me eat and sleep like this Tan lac has done, I would not have be lieved it. Actually I do not believe that there is another medicine on earth like it. I believe by the time I get through with another bottle I will be as well and strong as anybody. "If people do not believe what I tell you about my case. Just tell them to come and see me at my home, and if I am not there they will find me at the Blosser Printing company, where I work." Tanlac Is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. and while no notice was given as to when the funeral would be got an unusually large bouquet and came down on'the morning train. She was more pleased to give the flowers to her friend in life rather than in death, but was shocked to learn that he was alive. As soon as Mr. Brumagin learned that he was supposed to be dead, he sent messages notifying his relatives in different parts of the country that he yet lived and to disregard any re port to the contrary. Harry Smith, after reading of Mr. Brumagin s death, saw "Bert" cross ing the street smiling, with hand extended to greet him.
