Vancouver., Mayer Storey, City Attorney Long and others of the City officials, attended as members of the club, for their names are among those added to the rolls. The Commercial Club starts upon its prosperous term with a renewed purpose to keep in view the objects for which it was organized. It Is the place where the commercial men of the City are expected to meet for mutual benefit in discussing common conditions, and where they may also be brought In contact with other branches at the business community. De velopment of a strong, co-operative com mercial spirit, quick to detect City or State interests, and united in fighting for their achievement, was the spirit that gave the ctub birth, and what it has accomplished on these lines is gratifying to Its original promoters. Its public function in this re spect has made members feel that the dub was entitled to public recognition as sueh factor In community work. With the renewed vigor of great progress, and President Cake's hand still at the helm, much is hoped for the future. The entertainment committee of the Cittb, which had immediate charge of preparations last evening, consisted of F. BL Buffum, Chairman: S. H. Cawston, Tlce-Chalrman: F. L. Zimmerman, E. T. Williams and Alexander H. Kerr. ALL RETURNS IN. Sheriff Frazier Finishes Reporting: XSOS Tax Soles. Sheriff Frazier yesterday finished mak ing returns of the sales of property for delinquent taxes for 1S9S. This leaves the Sheriff's office with no tax books on hand, something that has not happened before for years. There has always been some sort of a roll, either delinquent or orig inal, in process of collection, since Mr. Frazier came into office, In 1S96. The 188 tax-roll was opened for collec tion March 23, 1899, and was kept open until July IS. The Sheriff's report, which was filed when the delinquent roll was made out, is as follows: Total amount of tax roll $1,339.

Teams From Seattle and. Tacoma Competed Very High. Scores. Multnomah won the interstate bowling championship and secured the Graham & Moore trophy in the final games of the contest last night. Commercial, by win ning four games from the Union Club, gets third place, and Arlington added to its percentage by taking three from the Seattle Bowling Club. The games at Multnomah were well worth seeing, the scores being high ones and the games hard fought. The visitors won the first game, but fine work by the home team won the other three, two of which were very close. Multnomah's poor work In the first game gave the visitors a ma jority of three on total pins for the night Craft was the star of the evening, roll ing up 230 and taking the contest record for four games. His fine work landed him within six pins of Buckman, who wins first place in individual standing. The Seattle team did magnificent work, and proved themselves to be bowlers of the highest order. Churchill led the team with 190. Nelson bowled terrific games, except the last one. After the games the visitors were entertained tit the Pert land, where Irving T. Cole, In a very neat and appropriate speech, presented the cup to the victors, which was accept ed on behalf of the Multnomahs by H. L. Idleman. The scores were: litlli! i j if -?i J dry.

This balance, added to the amount returned unsold, makes but $SS,126 82, uncollected, which is a less amount than has been returned un collected on any tax-roll In 10 years, not withstanding the 1888 tax-roll was much larger than any former one In the history of Multnomah County.

Feb. 24.-MIss Lillian Paunoefote, daughter of Lord Pauncefote, British ambassador to the United States, was married at noon today to the Honor able Rofbert Bromley, of Stokehall, New ark, Nottinghamshire, England. The wed ding was one of the most notable that has occurred in Washington for many years. Quaint old St John's Church, where the ceremony was performed, has a capacity of about 800, standing room Included, and this did not serve to accommodate a tithe of those who wished to witness the cere mony. The ushers were all attaches of the Embassy, Colonel Arthur Lee. Gerard Lowther, Sir Charles Eliot. Max Muller and Humphreys Owen. Master Sidney Kent Legar. In the eostume of a page of Charles II, bore the heavy train and was followed by the bridesmaids. These were Miss Esther Bromley, sister of the groom; Miss Curson, cousin of Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India; Miss Hattie Sargeant, of Boston: Hon. Sybyl and Hon. Audrey Pauncefote, sisters of the bride. The cere mony was performed by the Right Rev. Bishop of "Washington, Henry Yates Sat terlee. assisted by Rev. Alexander Mac kay Smith. Roctor of St. John's. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast Dr. Slocum, the eminent New York scientist, recently demonstrat ed at the Slocum laboratories, before a committee of noted medical men representing the principal societies, that over 87 per cent, of all cases of consumption are due to lung weakness. Lung weak ness, in turn, is generally due to other diseases, such as catarrh, grip, bronchitis, chronic coughs, etc., which lay bare the mucous surfaces of the head and throat and Invite the rapid growth of the deadly bacilli that destroy life. Dr. Slocum, after years of ceaseless laboratory experiments, has finally discovered a progressive treatment for the absolute cure of consumption or tuberculosis and he has proven that the germs of this disease cannot live when brought in contact with certain drug force. "While learned physicians sought In vain for a specific cure for consumption and finally gave up In despair, and while the great Pasteur came nearer a solution of the mighty problem by discover ing the existence of the bacillus- itself, yet it remained for America, through Dr. Slocum, to discover the means for driving these germ3 from the system. What a blessing to millions of every age! No more robbery by the grim destroyer, but. Instead, perfect immunity from all pulmon ary diseases. Briefly described, tho Slocum Treatment, consisting of four sepa rate remdles, is progressive, scientific and absolute in its wonderful work; it will 1st. By killing: the deadly consumpiirc bacilli (also found largely in the Unities of head, throat and lungs, and in the expectorations of stubborn coughs and colds). Sd. By healing the raw, inflamed mccons surfaces (es pecially in catarrh, bronchitis, asthma and throat Irritation). 3d. By toning up the system and. strengthening the nerves (always necessary in -nasting away and despondency). 4th. By building Iicalthy flesh to fortify against future attacks. (Never possible until the bacilli are removed and the raw surfaces arc healed by Slocum.) There Is yet to be submitted n. case of consumption that p cum Treatment cannot cure, unless It be in the last stage, where the lunes are almost or wholly destroyed. Dr. Slocum urges every sufferer, not only from consumption, but from all other pulmonary diseases, to obtain perfect health before too late. Guesswork has been supplanted by science Ignorance by know ledge. Slocum has solved the problem that means the saving of mil lions of useful lives. To further demonstrate tho Talue of his new discoveries. Dr. Slocum has arranged to send to every reader of The 'Oregonlan a FREE course, consisting of the four preparations (The Slocum Sys tems), to all who write for them.
