president; Dr. A. C. Kinney, of Astoria,
-vice-president, and Dr. "Woods Hutchinson,

the board had to perform, for the eecre
tary Is to be the active health officer of
the state. For three ballots the vote

Probably the most Important action of

to California and make a thorough inves
tigation of the plague, so that he may be
ready to cope with it should there be dan
ger of Its spreading to Oregon. The secre
tary was also directed to prepare a full

cinated, and warning them of tho danger
of an epidemic of smallpox. The circular

the detection and prevention of the spread
of such diseases as tuberculosis, sore
throat and other disease common to school
children.
ASTORIA IS ALARMED.
City Council Stirred Up Over Damage
Suit for Bad SideTralks.
ASTORIA, Or., March 14. (Special.)
Tho verdict of the Jury awarding the
plaintiff damages in the sum of $2500.50 in
the case of John Bock vs. the City of As
toria has alarmed tho Council a to the
responsibility of tho city in caso an ac
cident should occur on any of the streets
that are out of repair, and preparations
are now being made to commence the im
provement of about 15 different thorough
fares; in fact, all of those that are in at
all dangerous condition. One of the Coun
cilman stated today that these proposed
Improvements would be crowded through,
whether or not the property-owners filed
remonstrances, and the intention la to in
troduce resolutions providing for these
improvements at the regular meeting to
be held on next Monday evening. An or
dlnanco will also be introduced and prob
ably passed at that tlmo authorizing the
Street Superintendent, when a street
gets out of repair, to erect a board fence
10 feet in height .at either end and to tear
up the planking at each end of every
block for a distance of 30 feet. This, it is
thought, will relieve tho city of all re
sponsibility if persons insist on using
thoroughfares that have been thus bar
ricaded. Heretofore tho handling of fresh sal
mon on tho Columbia River during closed
seasons has been largely centered about
Kalama, but this year the "Washington
authorities have been successful in stop
ping it altogether, and "Watson, who is
tho largest dealer there, is assisting the
officials in enforcing tho law. Receiving
stations are now said to be in operation
at Clifton and Rainier. The effect of
breaking up the business at Kalama has
been to cripplo the Puget Sound market,
as the fish now have to bo shipped to
Portland, and from there to Puget Sound.
Emma Mustola, the girl who was s up
posed to have committed suicide by jump
ing Into Scow Bay on Wednesday night,
has not been found, nor has her body
been recovered. Frequent rumors are
started that tho girl has been seen at
different points, but they have all proved
to be untrue. The only solution of her
mysterious disappearance, from present
information, is that she Jumped Into the
river at some other place than the one
first Indicated, and was drowned, her
body being washed away by the current
and tides of the river.
Louis DrlscolL a logger, who lived at
Westport, was drowned near there yes
terday in "Westport Slough. At the time
of the accident ho was on a launch with
pome other men. and in some way fell
overboard. The launch was stopped as
quickly as possible, but before It reached
the place where Drlscoll had fallen over
board he had sunk. The river has been
dragged, but the body cannot be found.

FEUD IS XX OLD OXE.
Growi Out of Bonacnm'11 Desire for
a Costly Palace.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 14. The contest
between Bishop Bonacum and Father
Murphy h of long standing, and grew
out of an attempt on the part of the
bishop to force Rev. Murphy, pastor of
Bt Andrew's congregation at Tecumseh,
to compel his partshoners to contribute a
large sum of money to the erection of a
palace for the bishop at Lincoln. Cardinal
Satolll enjoined the bishop from erecting
so costly a palace, but the injunction was
spurned. Rev. Murphy took up several
collections In his church and appointed
committees to collect funds outside. The
amounts contributed did not satisfy
Bishop Bonacum, however, and he issued
a decree against Rev. Murphy of expul
sion from the diocese.
Murphy appealed to the apostolic dele
gate at Washington, who ordered the
bishop to rescind the decree. The bishop
thereupon filed charges against Rev. Mur
phy and summoned him to Lincoln to
make answer. Rev. Murphy filed a chal
lenge fer prejudice and an appeal. These
the bishop Ignored, and he Issued a de
cree of suspension and excommunication
against Rev. Murphy. The bishop then
began proceedings to oust Rev. Murphy
from the use of the church and its proper
ties. Six different civil suit! have taken
place already, all of which the bishop has
lost, and the case has twice been taken tc

Pierce, the founder
Institute, Buffalo,
Dr. Pierce by no means confines himself to prescribing
his well-known medicines. He tells you in the most
common-sense way what ails you, what you ought to do,
what Tine of treatment should be followed out in vour par
ticular case, and if your case does not indicate the need for
this proprietary medicine, he tells yon plainly and frankly wkat
you ao iteedt and the best possible method of improving your
health. If you are a young woman just entering upon the duties
of life, you should have good medical advice of a confidential
nature. If you're a mother of children, you may want advice
about yourself and how best to put your system in order that
your children may be healthy. To sufferers from chronic dis
eases which do not readily yield to treatment, or to people who
are past the youthful stage of life and want confidential advice
about their ailments or their physical condition, Dr. Pierce offers
to carefully consider your case and give you the best medical
advice within his power, free of cost to you.
Dr. Pierce treats many chronic cases at a distance, through
the mail and all you have to do is to write him your symptoms.
"During: my two years of married life I have not had good '-aealth,"
writes Mrs. Daisy Studdard, of 60S S. Esplanade Avenue, Leaven-

to Dr. Pierce and explain my case to him and see if he could do me
any good. So I wrote, and, thank the Lord, I got an early reply telling:
sac what the trouble was. I commenced taking: Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, and also the Pleasant
Pellets. and now can say tnat I
like a new woman, and can say also
that we have a big baby four months

The question of why one man succeeds
and another falls, Is a problem that has
puzzled philosophers for centuries. One
man attains riches and position, while his
neighbor who started' with seemingly the
same, and better opportunities, exists in
poverty and obscurity. No man can win
success who Is suffering from an irritat
ing and nerve-racking disease and the
man who has the qualities of success
within him, would be quick to recognize
this fact and seize the -best remedy to
eradicate the trouble.
A person afflicted with a serious case of
hemorrhoids or piles Is handicapped In the
race for power and advancement. It is Im
possible to concentrate the mental en
ergies when this dreadful trouble !a sap
ping the vital forces. To show how easily
this success destroying trouble can be
overcome we publish the following letter
from a prominent Indiana man.
"When I received the former letter and.
booklet on 'Piles, their nature, cause and
cure,' I was in a critical condition. Ulcers

Inside of the rectum culminating in a large
tumor on the outside resembling fistula, r

at that time. However, I obtained a part
of a box from my brother-in-law and be

cured me. I procured a box later, but have
had no occasion to use them. I have
been waiting to see that the cure was
permanent before writing you of Its suc

the greatest and 'best pile cure on the
market and ask you to please accept of

Court-Martial on Wortman.
PENSACOLA, Fla.. March 14. Tho trial
of Ensign Ward K. Wortman by general
court-martial came to an end today. A
large number of Lieutenants of the squad
ron were present and gave testimony as
to what they would do under the circum
stances. Cross-examination brought out
the fact that none of the officers who were
considered experts would have trusted the
lowering of the hammer to an enlisted
man, but that all would have gone Inside
the turret and attended to It themselves.
Another point deduced by this expert tes
timony was that none of the Lieutenants
would have attempted It after the piece
had been loaded and ready for firing, as.
there was great danger in attempting to
charge after tho piece had been primed.

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
The Way Physicians Jfotv Treat
CTUarrh.
Physicians who formerly depended upon
inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint
ments now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
because aa one of the most prominent
stated, these tablets contain in pleasant,
convenient form all of the really effi
cient and reliable catarrh remedies, such
as red gum. blood root and Hydrastln.
