NO SHOW FOR ISSUE
People Always Back Admin
istration's Foreign Policy
WHETHER RIGHT OR WRONG
Democratic Chairman White, Ex
presses His Views Regarding the
Action of President Roosevelt
. In Recognizing Panama.
BAKER CITT, Or., Nov. 14. (Speclal.)
iHoa. Sam White, chairman of the Demo
cratlc State Central committee, returned
'today irom Pendleton. "When asked his
v opinion In regard to President Roose
volt's alleged responsibility for the Pana
ma rebellion and whether he thought the
ipemocrats ought to make it an issue
In the coming campaign, ho said:
"I will venture to say that the Ad
ministration has recognized the Inde
pendence of Panama with such undue
baste that -all fair-minded people the
world over will be perfectly Justified in
aying that it has been actuated by selfish
and mercenary motives, and in fact knew
of and encouraged Panama in Its rebel
lion. "
"I think Democrats should condemn the
administration in unmeasured terms for
its unwarranted interference In the family
Quarrel of a sister republic. We could
have easily protected American Interests
In Panama without recognizing a 24-hour-old
republic and denying to Colombia
the right to land troops in Panama and
light for what was and Is her own.
"Wo have no more right to deny her
this right than England would have had
In saj lng to us in 1SC1 that we should not
jnarch troops into the South to coerce
the seceding states back into the Union.
"But the Administration has acted, and
the injustice and wrong has been done,
and while the Administration was hasty
and ill-advised the question now Is
whether we shall uphold the hands of
our President when he has placed us
In a position which cannot be justified
Sy the law of nations, or will we. In
the event of war, fight among ourselves
at home while a foreign foe is fighting
us abroad?
"As an American, I say no. I am for
xny country when she Is right and for
putting her right when she Is wrong;
but if our President has put us in a
position where we cannot be put in the
right, then I am for my country, and
the great body of the American people,
I believe, feel the same way.
'The history of the past teaches lis
that the American people can be trusted
Implicitly to stand by the Administra
tion, right or wrong, when Involved In
a quarrel with any foreign country.
Therefore I believe It would be unwise
lor the Democratic varty to attempt to
make a political issue out of a question
whjch is antagonistic to the patriotic
sentiment of the whole American peo
ple. "Such a course would be suicidal. The
Democratic party needs less sentiment and
more horse sense. It does nof need any
more issues, and especially issues of
fault-finding. If it will confine itself to
the internal abuses from which we are
suffering, such as an unjust and burden
some tariff which is daily, by a species
of class legislation, pilfering from the
pockets of the producers of the country
to feed and fatten our so-called "Infant
Industries" and to the highway robbery
dall being committed by those gigantic
aggregations of capital commonly known
us trusts. It can safely appeal to the
fair-mindedness of the American people
and win In the next presidential cam
paign. "The Democratic party does not need
to be hunting for issues; it has issues
enough and good enough to win on if
It will only get down to business. The
President's unstatesmanllke conduct In
this Panama matter Is but an exemplifi
cation of his unfitness to hold so high
and responsible a position.
"There is too much strenuousity and
tlgcr-fightlng in his disposition to consti
tute a wise, sage and business-like Presi
dent to suit the thinking element of the
American people. And unless I mistake
my guess the business clement of the
country will thoroughly appreciate this
fact before the next Presidential election."

Case Against Marshal Rounds.
BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 14. (Special.) The
prellrr-lnary hearing of United States
Marshal Ruel Rounds, on the charge of
assaulting Mrs. George E. Spencer, form
ed first deputy In his ofllce, was con
tinued today On cross-examination, Mrs.
Spencer adhered closely to the thread of
her original version of the alleged as
sault Her examination occupied the en
tire morning session.

his office on the day the assault is al
leged to have occurred. He said she ex
hibited a bruised and discolored right arm
and was suffering from nervousness.

ing from agitation. The upper third of
her right forearm was discolored for a
distance of three inches. The patient
complained of pains extending up into
ani through her right shoulder to the

SUNDAY ORDINANCE INVALID.
Rainier Council Passed Measure to
Close Saloons That Is Ineffective.
RAINIER, Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) The
case of persons accused of violating ordi
nance 16, providing for the closing of sa
loons after 11 o'clock and on Sundays,
was heard upon demurrer to the com
plaint, before the Police Judge of Rainier
at 2 o clock today. After long argu
ments the demurrer was sustained upon
the ground that the ordinance was void,
having been passed at a special meeting.
Illegally called, and for other defects.
This leaves the town without any ordi
nance for Sunday closing. There is talk
of enforcing the state law for Sunday
closing for all business. If this is done
Rainier will toe a closed town on Sunday.
SNOW IN BLUE MOUNTAINS.
Promise of Plenty of Water for Next
Year--Big Price for Haystack.
BAKER CITT, Or., Nov. 14. (Special.)
More than three feet of snow has fallen
In the mountains in this vicinity during
the past three days. Such a heavy fall of
snow this early in the season is unusual,
and while it has its Inconveniences on the
whole the people regard it as a favorable
condition, because it argues well for an
abundant supply of water for mining and
Irrigation purposes next season.
It will be hard on stock, especially
sheep, on the ranges, but, as stockmen
generally are prepared for a bad Winter
season, very little actual loss is anticipat
ed. Sheepmen were obliged, on account
of the high price of hay, to sell a goodly
portion of their ,sheep, and they are pre
pared "to feed those they have on hand
until Spring.
It is al ill-wind that does not benefit
some one, and in this instance the hay
ranchman is the man who is gathering la
the harvest. Hay is hay, aid will be until
grass comes again.
One rancher in this vicinity recently
sold the hay in oneblg stack for $18,000
cash. It was a big stack or rick, and
there is several thousand tons of hay in
the stack.
INSANE MAN DENIES HIS WIFE
Mrs. Ollschlager Wants Guardianship
of Man With Whom She Lived.
SALEM. Or.. Nov. 14. In County Court
today Judge Scott heard testimony upon
the petition of Mrs. Henry Ollschlager for
the appointment of a guardian for the
estate of her insane husband. Objection
was made by nephew and nieces upon the
ground that the petitioner is not the wife
of Ollschlager, though she has been living
with him as such for 16 years.
The wife testified she had no written
evidence of marriage, but that in Phila
delphia 16 years ago she and Ollschlager
went through a ceremony in English
which she, being German, did not un
derstand, but she was told she was mar
ried and had always been led to believe
such was the case. Opposing testimony
was that Henry Ollschlager had denied
during the last seven years that the
woman was his wife.
These denials were made since he suf
fered a paralytic stroke, which is alleged
to have impaired his mental faculties.
The case has not been decided. Governor
Chamberlain end P. H. Darcy appeared
for the wife, while Bonham & Martin ap
peared for the nephews. The contest is
for the control of propertfr, which
amounts to several thousand dollars.
EGBERT BROUGHT TO BURNS.

BURNS, Or., Noy. 14. Sheriff Allen, of
this county, and Constable T. N. McCoy,
of Elko, New, arrived here Monday night
with Harry Egbert, the murderer of John
G. Saxton and Jack West. McCoy came
from Elko at the special Invitation of

factor in the running down of Egbert.
Soon after arriving in Burns, Egbert
was araigned before Judge Clifford, of the
Circuit Court, to whom he denied the
name of John Frost, asserting that his
true name was Egbert. Asked If he had
means with which to procure counsel, he
replied that he had not. The court ap
pointed A. D. Leedy, of Canyon City, to
defend Egbert, and he was remanded to
Jail. At 1:30 Tuesday afternoon the case
was called up and the defense, before
pleading, submitted a motion to dismiss
the indictment as defective. The motion
was argued and overruled, and Tuesday,
December 1, at 10 A. M., was set as the
time for bringing the case to trial.
There has been no demonstration of any
kind against the prisoner. There is gen
eral satisfaction that he is safe within
the grasp of the authorities and that his
trial at an early date is assured.

perjury on nine counts tonight by a Fed

Humberg. Henry Swarztkophf, Jacob

ner. Schmidt's attorneys will attempt "an

years and had since his arrest tried to

REFUSE TO ARBITRATE
TACOMA BUILDINK3 TRADES TIED
UP BY BIG STRIKE.
Labor Commissioner Has Made No
Headway in Settling Differences
That May Affect All Trades.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 14. (Special.)
Labor Commissioner William Blackman,
who has been at work for two weeks
trying to settle the differences between
the Building Trades Council and the
Contractors' Association at Tacoma, has
returned to Olympla without accomplish
ing a settlement or securing an' agree
ment from both sides to arbitrate their
differences. The Trades Council is will
ing to arbitrate, but the contractors are
not.
Mr. Blackman says about 400 men. In
cluding carpenters, plasterers, painters,
inside electrical workers and building
laborers, are on strike, with a chance
that the strike may ultimately affect the
Employers' and Manufacturers' Associa
tions, which are more or less affiliated
with the Contractors'-' 'Association, and
Involve practically "all tho trades In Ta
coma. Mr. Blackman has given up hope of
effecting a settlement of the strike for
the time being, and has requested the
two sides to furnish affidavits In accord
ance with the new law, stating the rea
sons "for the refusal to arbitrate.
The strike has resolved Itself Into a
determined pffort on the part of the
contractors to break up the association
of trades unions in Tacoma, and has now
lasted about five weeks.
YOUTH GUILTY OF MURDER.
Jury In Trial of Cyrus Victor Out
Nearly 24 Hours.
DAVENPORT, Wash., Nov. 14. (Spe
cial.) Guilty as charged Is the verdict
brought in by 12 men who tried Cyrus
Victor for the murder of Charles Then
nls, at Govan, Wash., April 3, this year.
The charge was iriurder in the first de
gree. At 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, after hav
ing been out nearly 24 hours, the Jury
filed in. The prisoner, who is but 20 years
of age, showed not the slightest emotion
when the verdict was announced. The
color in his face did not change, and not
a muscle could be seen to twitch.
Counsel for the defendant immediately
moved for a new trial, upon the grounds
of new evidence, the manner of the se
lection of the Jury and the conduct of the
case.
H. N. -artln, one of the defendant's
lawyers, stated to a reporter that two
men came to his residence after the Jury
went out Friday night, bearing conclu
sive evidence of innocence of his client.
Saturday morning the Jury was admitted
to the, courtroom, asked If they could
bring in a verdict of guilty and recom
mend to the leniency of the court. This
gave an indication of what the verdict
would probably be. m
They were Instructed by Judge Neal
that either a verdict of guilty or not
guilty must be brought In. All -Uuring
the 11 days of the trial the prisoner has
shown not the slightest uneasiness. His
elder brother, Frank, was present from
the first, and during the last few days the
prisoner's mother and father were in
town, but being witnesses, were excluded
from the courtroom. Neither was pres
ent when the verdict was brought in.
THE NORTHWEST DEAD.
Orestes Pierce, President of the Wil
lamette Pulp and Paper Company.
OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 14. (Special)
Orestes Pierce, president of the Wil
lamette Pulp & Paper Company, died at
4 o'clock this morning at his home at
Vernon Heights, Oakland, Cal., from ex
haustion resulting from, disease of the
kidneys. Mr. Pierce was 52 years of age
and had been in failing health for a year.
The deceased was born In Maine and
was early in life admitted to the bar in
his native state, where for a time he prac
ticed law. Twenty years ago he came to
San Francisco, Cal., where his uncle, the
late Henry Pierce, resided. He was presi
dent of the Contra Costa Water Company,
of Oakland, until his retirement a few
years ago. He was one of the founders
of the San Francisco National Bank and
A TEST EXPERIMENT.
Peculiar Power Possessed by a New
Medicine.
Of new "discoveries- there is no end, but'
one of the most recent, most remarkable
and one which will prove Invaluable to
thourands of people, is a discovery which
it is believed will take the place of all
other remedies for the cure of those com
mon and obstinate diseases, dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. This discovery Ib not a
loudly advertised, secret patent medicine,
but is a scientific combination of whole
some, perfectly harmless vegetable es
sences, fruit salts, pure pepsin and bis
muth. These remedies are combined in lozenge
form, pleasant to take, and will preserve
their good Qualities indefinitely, whereas
all liquid medicines rapidly lose whatever
good qualities they may have had as soon
as uncorked and exposed to tho air.
This preparation is called Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, and It Is claimed that one
of these Tablets or lozenges will digest
from 300 to 3000 times Its own weight of,
meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
And this claim has been proven by actual
experiments in the following manner: A
hard-boiled egg cut into small pieces was
placed in a bottle containing warm, water
heated to ninety-eight degrees (or blood
heat): one of these Tablets was then
placed In the bottle and the proper tem
perature maintained for three hours and
a half, at the end of which time the egg
was as completely digested as it would
have been In a healthy stomach. This ex
periment was undertaken to demonstrate
that what it would do in the bottle It
would also do In the stomach, hence its
unquestionable value In the cure of dys
pepsia and . weak digestion. Very few
pepple are free from some form of indiges
tion but scarcely two will "have the same
symptoms. Some will suffer most from
distress after eating, bloating from gas
in the stomach and bowels, others have
acid dyspepsia or heartburn, others palpi
tation or headaches, sleeplessness, pains
in chest and under shoulder blades, ex
treme nervousness as In nervous dyspep
sia, but tLey all have the same cause,
failure to properly digest what is eaten.
The stomach must' have rest and assist
ance, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give
it both, by dicesting the food for it and in
a short time it is restored to its normal
action and vigor. At thn same time the
Tablets aroso harmless that a child can
take them with bereflt. This new prepar
ation has already made many astonishing
cures, as for Instance, the following:
After using only one package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets-, I have received such
great and unexpected benefit that I wish
to express my sincere gratitude. In fact,
it has been six months since I took the
package and I havs not had one particle
of distress or difficulty since. And all this
in the face of the fact that the best doc
tors I consulted told me my case was
Chronic Dyspepsia and absolutely incur
able, as I had suffered twenty-five years.
I distributed half a dozen packages among
my friends here who are ery anxious
to try this remedy. Mra Sarah A. Skeel,
Lynnvllle, Jasper Co., Mo.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists eyerywhere at 30 cents for full
sized packages. A little book on Stomach
Diseases mailed free by addressing F. A.
Muart Co., Marshall, Mich.
had interests In numerous other corpora
tions of California.
The interest of Mr. Pierce of most con-
j cern to Oregonlans, however, was tho
yvinameue .fuip & .raper company,
operating pulp and paper mills at Oregon
City. Mr. Pierce, together with his uncle,
Henry Pierce, and cousin, William Pierce
Johnson, organized the Willamette Pulp
& Paper Company In May 1SSS. Mr.
Pierce was at all times president of the
company, which has grown to be one of
the largest manufacturing institutions in
-the State of Oregon, having a dally prod
uct of more than 0 tons of news paper.
Mr. Pierce married Miss Sallle McKee,
of Oakland, in 1SS0, by whom he is sur
vived. They had no children. Burial will
take place at Oakland Monday. The mills
at Oregon City will be shut down Mon
day afternoon.
Mr. Pierce frequently visited the com
pany's plant at Oregon City and was well
known in Oregon. He always took a great
interest In the paper mills in this city and
was at all times deeply concerned In the
welfare of thenany employes of the com
pany. Mrs. Henry T. Wills.

Falling of Womb, which they cannot
cure. All they ask is a fair and reason
able trial of their mean3 of cure.
No other medicine than Dr. Pierce's

WHEN WVE INVITES
The woman follow the man of her
choice though the path leads out of
Eden into a world untrodden and un
tried. What is her reward? Many a
time when her health is broken by the
burdens she has borne for the man's
sake, her reward is to see him turn from
her to seek rosier cheeks and brighter
eyes. It is man's nature to crave beauty
in the wife as in the maid. And what
woman is there, who would not be hap
py to keep her maiden bloom when
motherhood has crowned her wifely
happiness? Some women seem to have
found this secret of perpetual youth.

EUGENE. Or, Nov. 14. (Special.) The
ARE YOU SICK?
Do You Need a Friend?
T) have a friend in the hour of illness, a
friendon whom one can depend, 13 surely a
blessing. "A friend in need Is a friend in
deed." Xo more truthful saIng was ever ut
tered. xAre you one of the many helpless sick
who constantly doctor and doctor, loading your
system with poisonous drugs that actually do
nothing but eat away the tender organs and
paralyze the nerves? Are you giving up to
physicians the largest part of your hard-earned
money, simply to find yourself growing weaker
and getting worse from the effects of the so
called topics, that perhaps temporarily ease
your sufferings, only to find that after the first
effects of the 'drugs are gone that you are
worse off than before?
If you are one of those unfortunate victims,
you need a friend. A friend who does not
shirk his duty: a friend on whom you can de
pend In your hour of greatest need in the hour
of sickness. "What more true and sincere
friend could you have than one who keeps you
in good health and happiness, who restores to
you the vitality of youth, the clear eye and
rosy cheek of health, and keeps your internal
organs clean and healthy?
WHY DRUGS FAIL Many Men Treated for Weakness
Which Never Existed Failure Due to Wrong Diagnosis
There Is a tendency nowadays to ascribe cases of lost vitality to lack of nerve

but the most temporary benefit. If at all.
As a result of observations an practical experience. I have been convinced that
the nerves, play but a subsidiary role In the production of disorders of men It Is verv
unusual to find any trouble In an otherwise -strong man other than a damaged prostate
or deep urethral Inflammation, particularly In those whose disorders originated In tho
harmful influence exercised by an ill-treated contracted disorder, and if exhausted
nerve force seemed to be present It Is only as a concomitant, or nerhaDs we may sa
a complication, of chronic prostatitis, and disappeared with Its cure Still further
these facts are verified by purely local treatment, for procedures directed toward re
pairing the damaged glands are always rewarded by the most brilliant cures. Colored

splendid results, securing fine health.
Women ought to be grateful to think

Big Buy of Wheat at Pendleton.
PENDLETON, Or., Nov. 14. (Special.
W. S. Byers, the extensive flour manui
facturer, has purchased within the pasL
few days 150,000 bushels of choice wheat
for milling purposes, paying an average
price of 67 cents. The wheat was pur
chased directly from a few large farm
ers, and as soon as the fact became known,
by local buyers the price Immediately
dropped to 64 cents.
As a result of this transaction there
is little doing Just now in the local mar
kets, and farmers who still have their
crops will continue to hold until tho
price gets back to at least 67c. Buyers
do not appear to be anxious to purchase
at the present time for export trade, and
farmers are likewise unwilling to sell, and
the situation locally seems to be con
trolled by the millmen.
