NGLAND GRATEFUL
For America's Effort to Com
municate With Conger.
COLQUHOUN GIVES 50ME ADVICE
Parliamentary Exposure of Corrup
tion In Loadoa Official Iilte
Exit of W. W. Astor.
IiONDON, July 1L The fate of the Le
gations at Pekin continues to absorb al
most undivided Interest In Great Britain.
As the days of silence drag Into -weeks,
the public tension and anxiety Increase.
There Is a feeling of gratitude here for the
strenuous efforts the United States Is
making to compel China to give Minister
Conger a chance to cable a message from
Pekin, and "while faint hopes are enter
tained that they will be successful. It is
generally felt that some such effort might
well have been attempted by the British
Foreign Office.
One of the clearest pronouncements
upon China comes from Archibald Boss
Colquhoun, the well-known correspondent
of the London Times, whose study of far
Eastern conditions has made him an au
thority on the subject. Writing to Mr.
Broderlck, the Parliamentary Secretary
of the Foreign Office, Mr. Colquhoun de
clares that, unless prompt relief is at
tempted, the Europeans will be massacred,
and If they are able to hold out until the
revolt subsides, there will be "an indeli
ble impression on the Chinese mind that
their escape was due, not to the strength
and determination of Great Britain, but
to their own forbearance." He adds:
"The loss of prestige will be incompara
ble. I am convinced that a determined
assault on the native City of Tien Tsln
would clear the situation and open the
way to Pekin."
The commanders now at Tien Tsin are
not winning golden opinions from the
English public, which, while suspending
severe criticism, fails to see why the
united forces should be so Impotent to
achieve and so apparently outclassed by
tho Chinese, not only in numbers, but in
artillery, and, some people are almost in
clined to believe. In strategy.
In Parliament the week was redeemed
from total tedlousness by a remarkable
exposure of London corruptness by Sam
uel Smith, Liberal member for Flintshire,
and John Burns. Socialist member for
Battlers. The allegations made by these
members and Home Secretary Ridley did
not deny them show conditions which
equal anything discovered by the Lexow
and Mazet committees in New Tork im
moral dens, blackmailing and bribers' of
the police, apparently flourishing and
greatly on the increase, especially In the
West End.
Degraded criminals, declared Mr. Burns,
who were cleared out In 1898, are re-estfcJb-llshing
themseH'es In large numbers In the
metropolis, and he offered to show Sir
Matthew White Ridley West End haunts
where the "bestial form of vice of Eastern
origin Is taking root." He also asserted
that "the West End club proprietors and
brothel-keepers havo the police directly
under their control." Mr. Burns cited in
dividual Instances, and ended by telling
the Home Secretary that if he did not
stop this bribery the evil "would deepen
until we have a state of affairs In Lon
don similar to what we have seen In the
tenderloin of Now Tork, where a chief
Inspector had earned 10,000 a year by
blackmailing gambling hells and prosti
tutes." All policemen in the West End,
Mir. Burns suggested, should be paid bet
ter, as their present pittance made very
trifling bribes temptations. The Home
Secretary was aghast, and said he would
look into the charges.
Mr. Smith confined himself chiefly to op
posing public obscenities. "Many things,"
he declared, "were tolerated In England
which would not be allowed In America,"
Tho most brilliant garden party ot
Queen Victoria's reign has proved quite
ineffectual to dispel the anxiety and
gloom hanging over Great Britain. The
escape from Kumasslo of Sir Frederick
Mitchell Hodgson, the Governor of Gold
Coast Colony, and his wife and party,
and the safety of the majority of those
who so long were in danger of massacre
at the hands of the Ashantees. created
a momentary feeling of Jubilation and
thankfulness. But this was quickly dis
sipated by the news of the disaster at
Nltral's Nek and the gravity of the news
from China. A week that opened with
high hopes from all quarters of the globe
where Great Britain's Interests are Im
perilled ends with none of these hopes
realized, except as regards Ashantee, and
even there the English garrison still
awaits relief.
In South Africa the nation was pre
pared for, though It did not really antici
pate, guerrilla warfare, but repeated dis
asters of such magnitude as that of
Nltral's Nek creato dismay. It is no ex
aggeration to say the country Is unani
mous in desiring the end of the long-drawn-out
struggle. The signs, however,
do not point to a speedy realization of
that desire. Therefore It is small won
der that the Government has practically
decided to put off tho election until 1901.
While the royal garden party failed
In Its purpose, it was -a wonderful affair.
Peers and Peeresses, Generals and Indian
Rajahs, Princes and Princesses, leading
statesmen, heads of professions, and
church dlgnitarle Intermingled gaily,
forming, a dazzling mass of color against
the green background of the Buckingham
Palace lawns. After chatting with a few
guests, the Queen drove out through dou
ble lines of -visitors as distinguished as
were ever formed In England. Cabinet
Ministers, Ambassadors, actors, Princes,
doctors and lawyers stood bareheaded till
the sovereign was out of the grounds.
The departure of the American hospital
ship for China meets with warm approval
from 'both official and unofficial England.
The way this decision was arrived at is a
happy illustration of the energy of the
American ladles on the committee. The
matter was only proposed Saturday last
and between that and Wednesday every
thing was settled and the ship was refit
ted and sailed. The Maine will take
care of Americans and British only, as
Germany and the other nations are also
sending hospital ships. The Queen was
especially pleased at the promptitude with
which the committee acted in this matter,
and at the garden party the royal thanks
were conveyed to Mr. Bernard Baker and
several ladles of the committee for all
the Americans have done and are doing
In the matter.
The difficulties which stood In the way
of Lady Randolph Churchill's wedding
now seem to have been overcome, and
the event is fixed fcr July 28. It will be
attended by the Oornwallls West family
and Winston Churchill, who has started
from South Africa for England. The af
fair will be quiet. The wedding break
fast will be served at the Moreton Frew
en residence.
Apart from the garden party the talk of
the week In society has been the Astor
Mllner affair. Mr. Aster's departure for
Marienbad created no end of quips and
comments, but there seems no reason to
believe it was In any way due to this
circumstance.
"Mr. William Waldorf Astor," says
Vanity Fair, "is at Marienbad. and Mar
Lenbad Is quieter than London," adding
that "most people support the sailor
man."
Mr. Astor's dinner party in London
was attended by 40 people, but the host
was unable to appear, owing to an attack
of sciatica.
The Saturday Review, of which Lord
Hardwick is editor, and with which sev
eral other prominent people are connect
ed, scathingly" denounces Mr. Astor's
treatment of Captain Milne, and refers
to It as a "gross violation of etiquette,"
adding:
"Milne Is a naval officer of high rank
and distinguished service, the latchet of
whose shoe Astor, with all his millions. Is
not worthy to untie. We only regret that
the gallant servant of Her Majesty so
far forgot his dignity as to accept a second-hand
invitation to the house of tho
purse-proud American, whose dollars
could not save him from the contempt of
his countrymen. Mr. Astor wishes his
entertainments to be exclusive. His de
sire is likely to be gratified in future be
yond his expectations."
The feature of the week among the the
aters was the production of "The Casino
Girl," at the Shaftesbury Theater. It
Wds fair to have a popular run, though
it is scarcely likely to take London so
by storm as did its predecessor, "The
Belle of New Tork.'
The musical event of the week was the
first production in England of Puccini's
"La Tosca" at Covent Garden, Thursday,
in the presence of tho Prince and Princess
of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Tork
and roost of fashionable London. It was
originally Intended that Melba should
play the part of La Tosca, but neither
the music nor the character seemed well
suited to her. and It was entrusted to
lime. Franternlna. Both she and Scottl.
as Scarpla, won general praise. The whole
production was very successful.
Foxball Keene's reappearance in the
ranks of gentlemen riders has treated
interest in England. His victory In the
race for the Andovcr stakes on Slnopl
caused the Dally Mall to say: "He should
prove a welcome acquisition to the ranks
of amateur riders. He has a nice style,
though his seat, perhaps is too upright
for modern Ideas. Still he gets there
all the same."
It Is announced that the Queen has
approved the selection of the Earl of
Hopetown as Governor-General of the
Australian commonwealth.
The coming of hot weather Is not wel
comed by tho Londoners, and a general
exodus la beginning. It is feared: that
another spell like that of last year Is
impendScg. Until the beginning of thta
week. London's death rate, thanks to
the cool weather, was the lowest in seven
years only 13.5 in a thousand.
The annual mobilization of the British
Navy, preparatory to the maneuvers,
paesed off without Incident. Judging from
the maneuver plans Issued by th Ad- I
mrralty, little more will t learnea ox tms
year's operations than was learned from
the fiasco of last year. One of the main
objects is to decide on the suitable dis
tance to establish a temporary base for a
oquadron blockading hostile porta, and
to thresh out the old question of the abil
ity of cruisers to sweep off and drive Into
harbors the enemy's torpedo craft.
The meeting ef the National Rifle As
sociation at BIsley Is attracting small at
tention. Quite the most remarkable com
petitor is young Hyde, who Is shooting
for Rugby In the public school contest.
He is Just one Inch taSer than his rifle,
yet ho ho2ds it steadily, shoots rapidly
and scores wonderfully well. Among the
visitors at Bls'ey is Colonel Cary Sanger,
United States Army (engaged In making
a special Investigation of the military
systems of Europe for the United States
War Department), who inspected all the
detadla He Is quoted as eaylng the Unit
ed States had nothing to compare with
that organization (the National Rifle As
sociation), for the encouragement of riflo
shoctlng. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.
Trro Blsr Meetings Opened
World's Convention.
the
LONDON, July 14. Alexandria palace,
rivalling In size and consplcuousness
Madison Square Garden, and surmounting
one of the highest spots in London, pre
sented a brilliant spectacle tonight, when
10,000 members of the Society of Chris
tian Endeavor opened the World Con
vention. The night session was preceded
by an afternoon organ recital and an
Immense chorus rendering familiar Chris
tian Endeavor songs, accompanied by one
of the greatest organs In all England.
This was followed by a socond musical
service, and eIx simultaneous secondary
services. One of the most Interesting
meetings was held at Albert Hall. Crowds
overflowed every available space, and it
is safe to say that seldom have two such
religious gatherings ever startled the le
thargic London town.
On one side of the Royal Arms, in the
center of the Alexandria Hall, was
placed a magnificent picture of the Capi
tol at Washington, while the opposite side
bore pictures of the houses of Parliament.
From walls and roof hung the United
States and British flags, Interwoven with
graceful festoons. Dr. Gibson, formerly
of Toronto, now of London, welcomed the
members of the Society of Christian En
deavor, in behalf of all England. Honor
ary Secretary Rev. S. W. McKnlght also
made an eloquent welcoming ad
dress. The responses were made
by by Chaplain W. V. Tracy, of
Philadelphia; Newman Hall, and Rev.
W. Patterson, of Canada. Both addresses
ana responses were made In the most cor
dial terms.' As Father Clark had gone
to Albert Hall. General Secretary John
Willis Baer, of Boston, responded, and
promised to introduce Mrs. Clark. Secre
tary Baer referred to the 600 Americans
who are expected to arrive tomorrow, but
who have been detained on account of the
disaster to the steamer Saale. Six hund
red more are also expected later, and will
probably arrive Wednesday. Among tho
speakers this evening were Helen Rich
ardson, who made a splendid address of
welcome.
Meantlmo, at Albert Hall, miles away,
similar scenes were being enacted, the
immense auditorium vibratlnr with Im
mense Christian Endeavor choruses. Many
addresses were made by Americans. The
wonderful system of organization and the
white city of Alexandria Park already
have astonished London. Forty-six
American clergymen and orators are
booked to fill London pulpits tomorrow,
though the delays of steamers may in
terfere with some of these arrangements.
"Let Vm Have Peace."
Professor M. L. Pratt, principal of the
Williams-Avenue School, will leave for
Tillamook this week, where he will shoot
buffaloes and tigers. He has been in
formed that these wild animals abound
in that neighborhood. After killing a
few he will return to Portland and set
about preparing his address, which he
will deliver before the reunion of tho
Multnomah County ex-soldiers' encamp
ment, on "Let Us Have Peace." He
feels that after shooting some of these
beasts he will be In a proper frame of
mind to build an address on that sub
ject Major Bell, who will also speak on
the same day, will probably speak on
"Let Us Have War," and Professor Pratt
will take the opposite tacjc, which will
tend to even up matters.
Movements of Transport.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14. The trans
port Hancock, which arrived last night
from Manila, is in quarantine. Tho trans
port Warren Is expected to arrive in
the next two days, and then the Govern
ment will send a large force to China or
the Philippines. The Sumner will get
away Monday, the Hancock on August 1
and the Warren on August IS, while the
Callfomian will leave here next Tuesday
with freight and horses, and the Aztec
will follow her a week later loaded In the
same manner. The Belgian King and
Pak Ling will load at Seattle for the same
ports. All four vessels will call at Naga
saki for orders.
Wages Raised at United Verde.
JEROME, Ariz., July 14. Elght-hpur
shifts for all underground men at the
United Verde mine and an Increase "of 15
per cent in wages for miners in certain
portions of the -mine were announced to
day. '
DEATH OF JOHN H. GEAR
STJDDE71 PASSING AWAY OF
IOWA SEXATOR.
THE
Sadden Attack of Heart Disease Yes
terday Morning at Washington
Resulted ITatally.
WASmNGTON. July 14. United States
Senator John Henry Gear, of Burlington,
la., died at 4:30 A. M. today of heart fail
ure In his apartments at The Portland, In
this dfy. Whllo Senator Gear had been
In ill health for a year or more, death
came at an entirely unexpected time. He'
was In excellent health and spirits last
night. Shortly before 9 o'clock last even
ing, accompanied by Mrs. Gear, he went
out driving with Secretary Wilson, of
tho Agricultural Department. They re
turned about 10 o'clock, and the Senator
retired about an hour later. In hlB usual
health.
Shortly before 2 o'clock this morning
the Senator summoned his confidential
secretary. Colonel Root, and informed
him that he was troubled with congestion
In his chest. Mrs. Gear Was called, and
she and Colonel Root applied some sim
ple remedy, which seemed to relieve the
Senator's suffering. At 2:S0 o'clock Sen
ator Gear complained of serious difficulty
In breathing. His condition became crit
ical, and the family physician. Dr. Davis,
The Late Senator J. H. Gear.
was summoned. An examination con
vinced Dr. Davis that his distinguished
patient was suffering from heart trouble,
and, calling Colonel Root aside, he in
formed him that Mr. Gear could last
scarcely an hour.
About 4 o'clock the Senator seemed to
bo easier, and when asked by Mrs. Gear
as to his condition, replied faintly:
"I feel a trifle better." These were his
last words.
Today, Sergeant-at-Arms Ransdell, of
the Senate, was notified of Senator Gear's
death, and began arranging for tho
funeral. The remains will be taken di
rectly to Burlington,- la., which for many
years has been the home of Senator Gear.
A special car will be attached to the
3:30 Pennsylvania train tomorrow after
noon for the accommodation of the
funeral party. Colonel Ransdell com
m.unlcated with Senator Frye, of Maine,
president pro tempore of the Senate, who
will name a committee of Senators to
ropresent the Senate at the funeral.
Through the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House, Speaker Henderson also was noti
fied officially of the death. He will desig
nate a committee of the House to attend
the funeral. Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson will accompany Mrs. Gear on her
Bad Journey westward.
Senator Gear left, besides his widow,
two daughters, Mrs. J. W. BIythe, wife
of the principal attorney or the Chicago,
Burlington & Qulncy Railroad, and Mrs.
Horance Rand, wife of a prominent busi
ness man, both residing In Burlington.
They will Join the funeral party at Chica
go on Monday. Funeral services will be
held in Burlington on Wednesday. No
services are to be held here.
The news of Senator Gear's death was
a great shock, to his personal and offi
cial friends in Washington, by whom he
was very highly regarded. Secretary
Wilson was Inexpressibly shocked when
the news was conveyed to him. Ho had
been a lifelong friend of the Senator, the
two being almost as closely allied as
brothers. He was among the early call
ers at the Portland this morning. Mrs.
Gear, prostrated with grief, was unable
to receive callers.
Few men in public life were more gen
erally loved and respected than 8enator
Gear. Some of his most Intimate friends
were found among those who differed
from him In politics. He was known par
ticularly for his unostentatious but ef
fective charitable works.
(John Henrr Gear was born In TthArji
N. Y April 7, 1825. He received a common-school
education and removed to Ga
lena, HL, In 1S38; to Fort Enelllng, Iowa
Territory, in 1S3S. and to Burlington In
1543, where he engaged In merchandising.
He was elected Mayor of the City of Bur
lington In 1S63; was a member of the Iowa
House of Representatives of the 14th, 15th
and ICth general assemblies of the state,
serving as Speaker for thoast two terms j
was elected Governor of Iowa In 1S78-79,
and again In 18S0-S1, and was elected to
the Fiftieth and Fifty-first Congresses,
but was beaten for the Fifty-second. He
was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
under President Harrison, and was elect
ed to the Fifty-third Congress. January
23, 18&4, he was elected Senator from Iowa
for six years, beginning March 4. 1S95, and
was re-elected last Winter for another
term of six years, beginning March 4.
1901.)
ARBITRATION PROPOSED.
Another Effort to Settle tfee St. Lonls
Strike.
OT. LOUIS, July lZlArbltration of the
street railway strike has been proposed
to the St. Louis Transit Company by the
Citizens' Arbitration Committee, and the
Transit Company's attorney, Fred W.
Lehman, to whom the proposition was
submitted today, discussed the matter
with the committeemen three hours. Mr.
Lehman told Messrs. Wilson and Steber,
who represented the committee, that he
would immediately lay the matter before
the officials of the Transit Company.
W. D. Mahon, national president of the
Amalgamated Association of Street Rail
way Employes, who resumed charge of
the strike yesterday after being out of
the city for several weeks, made a state
ment today In which he said:
"I And the men as determined as they
were when they first went out In May
and that they still have the support, not
alone of the trade unionists in the city,
but of the great mass of the people as
well. In fact, I find some of the people
who were Indifferent and If anything op
posed to the strikers before, are now
out for them, declaring they are In the
right."
President Mahon held conferences this
afternoon with the executive board and
the grievance committee. A telegram
was sent to Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
who, with the executive commlttoo of the
same organization, is now in Denver.
Mr. Gompirs and the board are asked
to stop off In St. Louis on their way
East to advise with those in charge of
the situation here and hold a mass meet
ing. Galveston Water Bound.
DALLAS,' Tex., July 14. Telegrams
from 'Galveston state that because 'of the
fierce storm conditions the tnty is prac
tically water bound, railroad trains can
not get out and passengers for outside
points are delayed. The rain ceased fall
ing this afternoon. There has been heavy
damage along the beach. Many houses
have been destroyed. About a dozen
buildings were washed, away. Including
the Midway. The water 'Is running off
rapidly and If no more rain falls, the
flood In tho streets and business houses
will probably subside by tomorrow.
AN EASY VICTORY.
(Continued from Klret Page.)
Pennyslvanla, with 6 meters 72 centi
meters, and Leahy, the English and Irish
champion, who was fifth, with 6 meters
71 centimeters. The take-off of the Jump
had an Incline, which was very discon
certing to the Americans, especially
Kraenzleln, who was unable to get a firm
footing as he left the ground. To this ho
attributes his defeat. He was in good
condition, although wearing a silk sup
porter abovo his left knee.
The concluding event of the day, the 400
meters hurdle, brought four men to the
tape, although there were 10 entries.
Both heats were won by Americans,
Tewksbury of the University of Pennsyl
vania taking the first, and Levis of Syra
cuse the second. Nedvod, an Austrian,
was unplaced. Orton of the University of
Pennsylvania secured the second heat
from Tauzln, a Frenchman, his only
competitor. Levis, Tewksbury. Orton and
Tauzin will contest In the final. The time
of neither heat was worth mentioning, as
none of the Americans gave themselves
any unnecessary exertion.
LOTTG-DISTAXCH HA.CE.
Michael Defeated MoFarland at Man
hattan Beach.
NEW YORK, July 14. Tn the presence
of 7000 spectators, with scarcely a breeze
to interfere with the riders, Jimmy Mi
chael defeated Floyd McFarland, of San
Jose. CaL. in a 30-mlle. motor-paced race
at the Manhattan, Beach track this after
noon. He also clipped 21 2-5 seconds off
the track record for tire distance.
The conditions of the race were that If
an accident happened to either rider or
his pacers during the flrrrt mile, the men
were to be recalled and the race Mtarted
anew. This saved: Michael from defeat by
a narrow margin. Michael maintained his
lead for one lap on the flrst attempt, but
was then passed by McFarland, who led
by about five yards coming down the
ptrertch for the flnflsh of the flrst mile. Be
fore the latter had reached the tape, how
ever, Michael signaled to the Judges that
his motor had broken a chain, and be wati
Just In time to save himself from having
to continue the race as best he could.
A new machine was brought out. and,
Michael having won the pole position, was
flrsi to be picked up. He got in behind
his pace within a few hundred yards, with
his opponent right behind him. He caught
up on the back stretch and led by about
10 yards during the flrst mile. He in
creased this to 25 yards on tho second
mile. Michael's pacers worked like beav
ers, and got abreast of the leader twice
during the third mile, but could not suc
ceed in passing him. McFarland, during
the sixth mile, waa nearly 70 yards to the
good. Just then Mlchool's new machine
was seen coming on the track again, and
In a couple of laps more Michael was in
behind, and at the beginning of the eighth
mile, he waa on even terms with I the
leaden.
MUo after mile was traversed with
lightning speed. At the end of the 12th
mdle the track record was lowered by
1 3-5 seconds, but at the end of the 13th
they wore threo-flftbs of a Picond behind
the record. In the 14th mile, Michael
gradually drew up to McFarland, and on
the back stretch. In the second lap of the
14th mile, he passed the Californlan. while
the spectators on the stand and in the in
field were frantic with delight. Michael
soon gained about SO yarde on hlo oppo
nent, who was still going very evenly
Once more the "Express" got out of
order, when Michael was In the lead by
about 40 yardu. This was In the 15th
mile. Fortunately his second machine
was near at hand. In making the change
he lost scarcely a dozen yards. Two laps
later McFarland had a atreak of hard
luck. His motor, which had been going
continuously from the start-off, waa ren
dered useless by the snapping of a chain
and tho bursting of a rear tube. The
Westerner never stopped, but Michael
gained a lap and a Quarter on his rival,
and from that point the race was Mi
chael's. All Interest in the race was now
at an end. ao it was seen that McFarland
could not win, and Michael finished the
20th mile In 34:36 3-5, leading McFarland
by about 750 yards.

Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these Important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the

A 3Iaid "Who Fought for Liberty.
The Battle of Bunker Hill fired De

to her the resolution to flght In the Con
tinental Army until liberty was secured."
writes Mabel Percy Haskell, In the July
Ladles' Home Journal, of "The Girl Who
Fought in the Revolution." "She revealed
her purpose to enlist to none for fear
of opposition, but with the small sum
of money she had laid by from the sale
of her chickens she purchased the wool
to make the cloth for her suit, weaving
it herself and making the garments In
secret. She Informed her employer Just
prior to leaving that she was going to
seek employment in Boston, and set off
"with her clothes in a parcel without
creating any suspicion as to her plan.
Deborah changed her garments in the
woods, and came forth a man to all ap
pearances, and made her way to Taun
ton, and thence to Bllllngham, where she
immediately enlisted in a recruiting par
ty under the name of 'Robert Shurtleff,
the small party of recruits going imme
diately to Worcester to Join the company
of Captain Thayer. A deep Interest was
taken by the Captain in Robert Shurt
leff, the earnestness and beauty of the
youth appealing strongly to him, and a
home was given the young recruit In the
officer's own family. Here Deborah Samp
son experienced her flrst sensations at
playing the part of a man, for a young
lady visiting Captain Thayer's family fell
deeply in love with the handsome young
soldier."

Dr. Copeland's Earnest Advice to AH Chronic
Invalids Is to Take Advantage of Favora
ble Climatic Conditions for the Med
ical Attention They Require
Of tho hundreds of cases of asthma, i
lung troubles, rheumatism and catarrhall
diseases treated and cured at the Cope-
land Institute during the past seven
years, under the inexpensive system now
so popular with the community, statistics
prove that the average time occupied in
a cure, with patients beginning during
the Summer months, is from one-third to
one-half less than with those beginning a
course during the rigors of Winter.
The aim of the Copeland physicians Is
not only to cure the diseases that make
so much of the gloom and sorrow of life;
nor is It their sole aim to bring relief to
suffering at the lowest possible cost to
the sufferer. Beyond this humane and
most useful consummation. It has been
Dr. Copoland's great ambition to cure dis
ease In a far briefer period of time than
that usually considered necessary.
There are maladies that It requires time
to master. Asthma requires time. Seated
lung troubles require time. Crippling
rheumatism requires time. The rot and
poison of catarrh requires time.
According to Dr. Copeland's Idea, the
intelligence and the humanity exercised
In delivering an Invalid from the agony
and dejection ot disease by a course of
direct, masterly and telling treatment,
whn climatic conditions may be depended
upon to aid nature and science. Is much
shorter than when science unaided must
bring about the cure.
Dr. Copeland feels that when human
beings are to be lifted from the pit there
should be expedition. His earnest advice
to all who contemplate treatment at the
Copeland Institute 13 to begin now, while
Summer lingers with her balms, and all
the pleasant climatic Influences strength
en the efforts of sclenco to make re
covery not only certain, but expeditious!

WARM COMMENDATION OP
THE COPELAND TREATMENT
Mr. D. JT. Bnr-ivell, 309 Hollodny
avenue, Portland, a well-known postal
railway clerk, Portland-Corvallls route:
I had been In a very uncomfortable and
more or less ailing condition from catarrh
of the head and throat since childhood.
The distressing and offensive feature of
my disease, in spite of
Almost Incessant Doctorinff
And doping with remedies; was in the
stopped-up and stuffed-up condition of my
nose and head, causing a constant drip of
mucus from behind the palate, and In the
Intolerable abomination of an everlast
ing hawking and spitting to clear the
throat, and clogging of the nostrils with
scabs.
Some years ago the poisons of the dis
ease began to tell on my stomach. My
stomach began to turn against food so
that I could hardly eat at all without
nausea and sickness afterward. I ran
down in weight until I weighed only 125
pounds; my normal weight is 1G0, and be
came Irritable and nervous.
My wife had been a sufferer from ca
tarrh for years, and a little time ago
read the testimonial of a lady whose
symptoms seemed Just like hers. She
called upon this lady, found the facts
to be Just as stated, and Immediately
placed herself under treatment. She im
proved so well that I became convinced
the treatment would be Just the thing
for me, and took It up. Now I feel
as I have not felt In 10 years, well and
active, and free from the symptoms that
made life a burden to me for a lifetime.
I have always had grave objections to
making a public statement, but I do not
believe it is possible to
Commend the Copeland Treatment
J Too highly, and for the sake of those who
are suffering and discouraged with alm-
I less doctoring I feel It my duty to make
this statement.
