tas steadier .than Spencer's on tne last
rounde. and many picked him for the win
ner after the 40th bird had been killed.
Both men were straight up to the 52d bird.
Tte 53d was a twisting outgoer. Spencer
shot first, and although he hit the bird

53d was an ordinary right quarterer. He
killed it with his first barrel, but used the
second to make sure.

SOMETHING NEW IN EUCHER
t
System of Scorlngg In Progressive
Games Has Its Advantages.
Chicago Chronicle.
In most cases scoring in professional
euchre games Is computed by the number
of games won. Advocates of reform In
the pastime suggest a change, by which
prizes will be awarded to those having the
greatest number of points. Irrespective qf
the games won. Point euchre, they say,
is recognized by euchre-players as the
only fair way In which the game can be
played, as each player receives credit
for all points made at each game. It
can be played at any progressive euchre
either at home or in clubs. Excitement
begins with the first hand and continues
until the last hand is played. Many ob
jectionable features of the old game are
overcome In point euchre, as fast playing
is one of the essentials of the game.
A point euchre tally card Is numbered
as rapidly as possible to prevent the
other tables from making high scores.
All rules of euchre apply to this game. At
the end of the two hours' playing the
highest number, of points made would
determine the wfnners of prizes.

FOR RIGID EXCLUSION
SPEECHES IN THE HOUSE IN FA
VOR OF THE MITCHELIi BILL.
Most of the Pacific Coast Amend
ments Will Be Accepted tor
the Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 5. The Chinese
exclusion bill was under consideration In
the House today, general debate being
closed. Without exception the speeches
were favorable to rigid exclusion and ex
pressed a feeling of repugnance to the
Chinese. Kahn (Rep. Col.), the author of
the bill, was gratified during the day at
reaching an understanding by which most
of the amendments proposed by the Pa
cific Coast people will be accepted by the
committee. This probably will lead to
the withdrawal of the minority bill and
the passage of the majority measure. The
only amendment at Issub Is on the sailors'
clause, and this by agreement Is to be
submitted to a vote.
.Boine routine minor business was trana-
acted at the opening of the session, Includ
ing tne passage of a number of bills.
Taylor (Rep. O.), from the committee on
elections, presented the report on the Hor-ton-Butler
contested election case from
the Twelfth Missouri district which de
clared the seat vacant The minority
were given three weeks within which to
file their views.
The House then resumed the debate on
the Chinese exclusion bill. It was ar
ranged that the general debate should
continue lor two hours on each side.
Grosvenor (Rep. O.) asked and secured
leaye to print in the record his reasons
for -opposing the provision in the minor
ity hni- to . prohibit ..the use of Chinese
sailors on American ships.
Otjen (Rep. ,Wis.) supported the major
ity bill. Hooker (Dem. Miss.) favored the
re-enactment of the present laws. He
thought our treaties with China should
be scrupulously observed.
Brick (Rep. Ind.), Lloyd (Dem. Mo.),
Kern (Dem. 111.), Cochran (Dem. Mo.) and
Green (Dem. Pa.) spoke In support of
exclusion. Brick referred to the contami
nating influence of the Chinese and to the
'necessity, as a means of self-preservatlon
and -self-defense, of excluding them. Lloyd
declared. In answer to the claim that our
commerce with China should not be Jeop
ardized, that there was something more
important than American commerce, and
that was the American family and home,
which should be kept free from the pollut
ing Influence of the Chinese. Thayer (Dem.
Mass.) addressed himself to the ship sub
sidy bill, characterizing It as a stupendous
gift enterprise.
At the conclusion of Green's remarks
the general debate closed and the House
at 4:30 P. M. adjourned.
ABOUT MOCKING BIRDS.
Denial That They Can Be Found In
California.
CHARLESTON. S. C, March 28. (To
the Editor.) In The Oregonian recently
was a letter from J. M. Furman, In re
gard to a suggestion from Henry E.
Dosch to Introduce the mocking bird Into
our state, In which Mr. Furman says:
"Perhaps he (Mr. Dosch)' Is not aware
that the birds can be obtained nearer
home; that there are just- as many mock,
lng birds In California as there are In
any Southern state. . . . and that any
where in the vicinity of Fresno, Cal.,
boys will catch as many birds as are
wanted at 10 cents apiece." This Is wel
come news to those of us who are anxious
to Introduce new varieties of birds Into
Oregon, and If Mr. Furman can secure
mocking birds at 10" cents apiece In Cal
ifornia he Is surely entitled to the grati
tude of our people. We want the mock
ing bird not only as a songster, but also
as an Insect-destroyer. The writer, hav
ing spent several years In traversing the
country from Sacramento to San Diego
with pick and pan, had not learned of
the mocking bird being known In that
region. In San Francisco several years
ago he was unable to secure mocking
birds from any of the bird-dealers In the
city, the dealers being unable -to
secure any from nearer than the Gulf
States, which were readily sold at from
$25 to $30 each for males. This surely
would leave quite a margin for the boys
who would catch them nt 10 cents apiece,
and though the gentleman may be ac
quainted In nearly all the Southern States
and may have lived five years In Florida,
yet one Is Inclined to think he might be
mistaken In the bird.
Ornithologists have grouped all thrushes
sIn the family (Turdldae) to which our
s Southern mocker belongs to the sub
group or family (Merulidae), and Is
known to science aB mlmus polyglottus.
He Is seldom found north of Mason and
Dixon's line or west of the Mississippi.
He sings at night, and his diet consists
of berries and insects, which he catches
on the wing. Those who are sometimes
taken to be our friend Mr. Mimus Poly
glottus are the "wood thrush" (Tardus
Melodus), a Northern bird whldh mi
grates South in Winter; the "mlasll
tm-ush"; (Turdus Vlsclvorus), a large
thrush 10 inches long, and the "mock
thrush" or "thrasher," all "Yankees,"
claiming relationship to Mr. Mlmus Poly
glottus. which the writer remembers well
as having cheered him by his sweet song
on many a lonely night 'while on picket
duty In Dixie 'way back In the 'COs. He
Is pleased to learn that his old friend of
long ago has taken Mr. Greeley's adVlce
and gone West to grow up with the coun
try, though he must have gone quite
recently or surely the bird-dealers of
San Francisco would have "got onto
him" ere this and not be paying $25 for
birds from, the Gulf States when they
could be secured nearer home at 10 cents
apiece; but perhaps Mr. Furman might
be mistaken! A. W. MILLER.
HARMONY IN SUGAR.
Refiners Agree Upon New System, of
Uniform Discounts.
NEW YORK, April 5. By an agree
ment or contract which has Just been
formally ratified, all refiners throughout
the country will sell sugars on uniform
terms, according to the Journal of Com
merce. This does not mean they will name
uniform prices, but that whatever the
price, the terms shall remain unchanged.
In future, therefore, a price of 5 cents for
granulated will mean the same whether
quoted by the American Company, the
National Company or the Arbuckles, and
It will not be complicated by any special
or extra discounts.
During tho last year or so there has
been considerable Irregularity, so far as
discounts have been concerned, and re
finers have charged their rivals with mak
ing secret discounts while apparently
maintaining list prices. The new terms
will go Into operation on all sugar sold
on and after April 15. They follow:
List price, less 15 cents per 100 pounds,
30 days. Discount 1 per cent for cash In
seven days. Extra discount of five points
to be paid at end of six days to all who
have lived up to . agreements.
Tho present terms are list prices, less 1
per cent trade discount less a second 1 per
cent for cash in seven days, and less
1-3 of 1 per cent special discount The
last named 1 per cent special discount
was the" result of an alleged secret cut by
the American Company, which was open
ly met by the Arbuckles, and subsequently
put Into operation by the National Com
pany. It is not a fact concludes the
paper quoted, that the refiners have
agreed among themselves to regard the
new terms. The agreement has been en
tirely between the individual refiners and
the National Wholesale Grocers Associa
tion. In other words, the grocers have
themselves first agreed upon the terms
they believe they can live up to and en
force. The grocers of the West and In some

MISS ALICE BROWN.
MIsa Alice Brown, the well-known trained nurse, is in a position to speak with
knowledge. She was formerly with the St Louis Baptist Hospital, and has had
many trying experiences in .her arduous vocation. She adds her valuable testimony
to the thousands already received by Swamp-Root She said In a signed interview
with a reporter of tho St Louis Star:
"Although a woman In my position can receive plenty of prescriptions from
physicians without cost, it was upon the advice of a well-known West End doctor
that I began to take Swamp-Root No, I will not tell you his name, "for ho might
not like it. But all the same, I took it when I was run down, from night work in
the sickroom. I was thin and yellow and tired even when I rose from my sleep,
Swamp-Root gave me a relish for my food and cleared my blood from Its stagnant
impurities. Of course, I do not praise Swamp-Root as a cure for all troubles, but it
is splendid for the kidneys, stomach and bowels and relieves female disorders when
all other remedies have failed to give relief. I know of many cases in the hos
pital cured by this wonderful remedy.
1519 Semple Ave., St Louis, Mo
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for more sickness and suffering
than any other disease, therefore, when, through neglect or other causes, kidney
trouble Is permitted to continue, fatal results are sure to follow.
We often see a relative, a friend, or an acquaintance apparently well, but In a
few days we may be grieved to learn of their severe Illness or sudden death caused
by that fatal type of kidney trouble Brlgljt's Disease.
The mild and extraordinary effect of the great kidney and bladder remedy, Dr.
JCllmer's Swamp-Roof, Is soon realized. It stands tho highest for Its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. Hospitals use it with wonderful success in
both slight and severe cases. Doctors recommend it to their patients and use it
In their own families, because they recognize' In Swamp-Root tho greatest and
most successful remedy. A trial will convince any one and you may have a
sample bottle sent free, by mall.
EDITORIAL NOTE. If you have the slightest symptoms of kidney or bladder
trouble, or If there Is a trace of It In your family history, send at once to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., who will gladly send you by mall, Immediately,
without cost to you, a sample bottle of Swamp-Root and a book telling all about
Swamp-Root and containing many of tne thousands upon thousands of testimonial
letters received from men and women cured. In writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y be sure to say that you read this generous offer in the Portland
Sunday Oregonian.
If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root la what you need, you can pur
chase the regular 50-cent and Jl size bottles at the drug stores everywhere. Don't
make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.
sections of the South are said to feel sat
isfied the new plan will prove effective.
These are the sections In which the sugar
business has been most discouraging. It
is generally understood that New Orleans
refiners will. In sections where equality
In prices are in effect, also co-operate.

Arraignment of the Steel Trnst.
Kansas City Star.
The latest arraignment of the United
States Steel Corporation comes from the
pen of Professor E. S. Meade, of the
University of Pennsylvania, and Is printed
In the Quarterly Journal of Economics.
It Is the more severe because It Is writ
ten dispassionately and from a purely
economic standpoint Professor Meads
1 Is not discussing the trust question In
general. He Is simply examining the pros
pect for dividends on the enormously
over-capitalized stock of the United
States Steel Corporation.
Professor Meade points out that as the
company controls Its ore beds it is not
dependent for Its profits on the Iron ore
market. Therefore the products of the
trust are now produced at fundamental
cost Future profits can come, not from
a fall in the market price of crude ma
terial, but only from economies In pro
duction, from a rise in prices and from an
Increase in the volume of sales. The pro
fessor finds an Industry with conditions
parallel to this In a certain blast furnace
company, and he takes Its history from
1890 to 1S9S for a basis of comparison.
The first year was the culmination of a
boom in steel, the last the end of the
reaction. The company's net earnings
fell from $G8,000 to $32,000.
Professor Meado considers what would
have resulted had this company been cap
italized oa the same basis &s the steel
frl? Mlii
.OCccA- 3SirzAp
trust and had It had to pay the same
proportion of interest charges. The first
year It would have been able to meet
all obligations and would have had a sur
plus of $27,000. This would have been
wiped out with the approach of reaction.
He concludes that In 1892 the steel trust
on this basis could have paid no divi
dends and that thenceforward to 1S9S the
cumulative dividend on the preferred
stock would have been left as a future
charge and that no payment would have
been made on either preferred or com
mon stock.
The validity of this reasoning Is de
pendent on past conditions being repeat
ed In the future. Of course a series of
good business years would sustain divi
dends. But Professor Meade has empha
sized the danger that exists in such infla
tion of stock as that of tho steel trust

When the stomach is diseased thet
organs depending on the stomach for
nutrition are starved. Starvation means
weakness of the body and its organs.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. When
these organs are cured, diseases of heart,
liver, lungs and kidneys, caused by the
diseased stomach, are cured also.

DISEASE D
RY SYMPTOMS
The Diagnosis Made Easy by the Famous Symptom
Questions; the Cure Made Certain by the
Wonderful Medication Which Reaches
Every Part Subject to Catarrh.
THE TREATMENT
THAT CURES
Dr. Copeland's treatment, that has
lifted the darkness and blight of the word
"Incurable" from hundreds of thousands
of cases of Catarrh of the Head, Throat,
Ear Tubes, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs,
works as curative action for two reasons:
(1) It reaches every diseased spot
from the orifice of the nose to the
deepest part of the lnnss and the
Innermost recesses of the middle
ear.
(2) Instead of irritating, Inflaming
and feeding the fires of the disease,
It soothes, quiets, heals and cures.
CATARRH OF
HEAD AND THROAT
The head and throat become dis
eased from neglected colds, caus
ing Catarrh when the condition of
the blood predisposes to- this con
dition. "Is your voice husky?"
"Do you spit up slime?"
"Do you ache all overt"
"Do you snore at night?"
"Do you blow out scabs at night? -"Is
your no&a stopped up?"
"Does your nose dlscharga?"
"Does your nose bleed easily?"
"Is there tickling In the throat?"-
"Is this worse toward night?"
"Does the nose itch and burn?" t
"Do you hawk to clear the throat?"
"Is there pain across the eyes?"
"Ia there pain In front of head?"
"Is your sense cf smell leavlnjr?
"Ia the throat dry in the morning? '
"Are you losing your Bense of taster
"Do you sleep with your mouth open?
"Does your nose stop up toward nlgntr'
CATARRH OF
BRONCHIAL TUBES
This condition often resnlts from
catarrh extending; from the head
and throat, and if left unchecked,
extends down the windpipe Into the
bronchial tubes, and in time attacks
the lungs.
"Wave you a cough?" ,
"Are you losing nesnr'
"Do you cough at night?"
"Have you ualn In side?"
v
"Do you take cold easily?"
"Is your appetite variable?"
"Have you stitches In side?"
"Do you cough until you gag?"
"Are you low-splrlted at times?"
"Do jou raise frothy material?"
"Do you spit up yellow matter?" f
"Do you cough on going to bed?" '
"Do you cough in the mornings?" -7,
"Is your cough short and hacking?"
"Do you spit up little cheesy lumps?" 1.
"Have you a. disgust for fatty foods?"
"Is there tickling behind the palate?"
"Have you pain behind breastbone?"
"Do you feel you are growing weaker?"
"Is there a burning pain In the throat?"
"Do you1 cough worse night and mornings?"
"Do you havo to sit up at night to get
breath V'
CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
This condition may result from
several causes, but the usual cause
is catarrh, the mucus dropping
down into the tLroat and belujj
swallowed.
"Is there nausea?"
"Are you costive?"
"Is there vomiting?"
"Do you belch up gas?"
"Have you waterbrash?"-
"Are you lightheaded?" t
"Is your tongue coated?"
"Do you hawk and spit?"
"Is there pain after eating?"
"Are you nervous and wak?"
"Do you have sick headache?"
"Do you bloat up after eating?"
"Is there disgust for breakfast?"
"Have you distress after eating?"
"Ia your throat filled with slime?"
'Do you at times have diarrhoea?"
"Is there rush of blood to the head?"
"When you get up suddenly are you dizzy?"
"Is there gnawing sensation la stomach?"
"Do you feel as If you had lead in stomach?"
"When stomach Is empty do you feel faint?"
"Do you belch material that burns throat?"
"If stomach Is full do you feel oppressed?"
SYMPTOMS OF
EAR TROUBLES
Deafness and ear troubles result
from catarrh passing along the Eu
stachian tube that leads from the
throat to the ear.
"Is your hearing falling?"
"Do your ears discharge?"

RAINS IN SUNNY LAND.
If You Want a Good Soaking-, Go to
California.
"W. II. Kllllngsworth Is back from Cali
fornia. He reports havlnjr a trip to the
land of sunshine so full of diversity that
ho will always recall It with pleasure.
He says, however, that If Oregonlans
want a good soaking they can get It In
Southern California; that It rains In dead
earnest down there in fact it might al
most be described as a cloudburst. He
adds: "By the way, you want your over
coat when you go to pluck those lus
cious navel oranges from the trees. I
have not felt chillier winds In years."
Mr. Kllllngsworth says that the life and
energy displayed In Los Angeles and In
thq orange region of tho south are re
freshing to one who goes there looking
for heat, dust, or a sleepy class of set
tlers. ""What Impresses me most," he
said, "are the possibilities of Oregon, If
we exercise but one-half the same energy
and sk,lll here that must be used In mak
ing a success In that portion of Califor
nia famed for her fruit.
"The orange section has some splendid
ranches with magnificent results, but as a
whole the apple In Oregon can discount
the orange In California. The land is so
much cheaper, the crop more certain,
and the market more uniform, that with
an effort here, backed by a courage such
as Is necessary to a moderate result there,
our orchardlsts will be enabled to accu
mulate a moderate fortune with much
more certainty than there. Our cherries,
plums, prunes and pears can be made a
success with less effort than Is required in
handling the small fruits In' California.
Exstern Oregon, by the use of Irrigation,
can have greater assurance of crops than
is possible either In the San Joaquin Val
ley or Southern California. I come home
more impressed with tho Oregonlan's
theme of a diversity of productions than
ever before. "With stock, timber, fruit,
grain and poultry, the Oregon farmer
that cinnot prosper ought to starve. If
the citizens of Portland will pull together
with a will, no city on tha Coast has a
moro prosperous outlook."
