WJnd Is Unfavorable at the Start, and
Late at Night One of the Bal

the Starting Point.
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 27. With hardly a
cloud In the sky, George Tomlinson, of
Syracuse, K. Y., and Professor Carl Mey
ers, of Frankfort, X. Y., the contestants
for the $5000 prize offered by the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition to the aeronaut who
comes nearer to reaching the Washington
Monument at Washington. D. C., made
successful ascensions today from the
Plaza of New Orleans at 5 P.
The balloons gently inclined toward the
west as they ascended, and then, suddenly
taking a heavy current of air, sweeping
from the east, they simultaneously head
ed due west at considerable speed. The
vast concourse of spectators, which had
cheered when the ascent began, ceased to
cheer when it was realized that the bal
loons were proceeding in exactly the op
posite direction from the goal.
The balloons were visible for 30 minutes,
and then disappeared from view in the
western sky. Both were stocked with pro
visions sufficient for two days. Each bal
loonist carried with him carrier-pigeons,
which will be released from time to time.
Employes of the St Louis, St.
Charles & "Western Electric line report
ed late tonight that Professor Meyer's
balloon landed three miles northwest
of St. Charles, about 6:30 o'clock. It
had only traveled 21 miles northwest
of St Louis.
Both balloons were close together at
that time and had been drifting con
stantly northwest Soon after the one
came to earth, however. It was said the
other took a more easterly course and
was traveling rapidly when it disap

Notable Demonstration on the De
parture of Picard for St. Louis.
PARIS, Aug. 27. The sailing of M. Pi
card, delegate of, the French government
to the St Louis Exposition, on the Sa
voi today from Havre, brought out a
notable demonstration. A number of
.loading, officials . were at the quay, and
the' band of the Garde Republic, which
sailed on the same vessel, played the
Marseilles" amid great enthusiasm.
The French government attaches un
usual importance to M. Plcard's mission,
as ''he is one of the foremost figures of
France. He declined to accept the po
sition of Commissioner-General, and
therefore It was decided to confer on
him the title of delegate to the French
government This makes M. Picard the
personal representative of President Lou
bet and the government, giving him a
rank similar to that of an Ambassador.
He will visit Oyster Bay and St Louis
and then make a tour of points between
Buffalo, Boston 'and New York.
As a member of the Council of State,
M. Picard practically controls the rail
ways and tariff systems of France.
FEARS DEATH WAS IRREGULAR
Stepson of Mrs. McVicker Demands
an Investigation.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27. Following the re
ceipt of news of the death of Mrs. J. H.
Mtyicker, wife of the famous theatrical
manager, mother of Mrs. Edwin Booth,
and owner of property which Is valued at
from "i35Q,000 to $500,000. Horace McVicker,
her stepson, has started an investigation
which may lead to serious charges being
brought at Pasadena, Cal., where Mrs.
MeVicker died. Horace McVicker, who is
business manager for Ethel Barrymore, is
hL.lt survivor of the family. He said:
"I am firmly of the opinion that my
mother was under a hypnotic influence. I
not venture to state who created the
apcH over her or who was responsible for
her death But a thorough Investigation
will be made. I have telegraphed H, C.
"Watt, in Los Angeles, to look Into the
mutter."
L. W. Condee, the attorney of the es-
tate admitted that there was room for
suspicion, and that an investigation would
lollow.
Horace McVicker said tonight:
"I.have notified the Chicago banks with
which my stepmother kept accounts to
refuse payment on any drafts or checks
that might be presented. I do not know
that any -will be, presented, but we are
going to be on the safe side. I placed this
matter in the hands of a detective agency
in San Francisco a week ago, telling
them to watch my mother and some
other people very carefully. I have re
ceived no report, and I am making no
charges against anybody, but I will not
stop until Mrs. McVicker's death has
been investigated."
When informed of the result of the
autopsy, showing that Mrs. McVicker
died of natural causes, Mr. McVicker said
he would still pursue the Investigation.
Autopsy Shows Death Was Natural.
PASADENA, Cal., Aug. 27. An autopsy
was held on the body of Mrs. Harriet
Gertrude McVicker, widow of the late J.
H. McVicker. of Chicago, who died in this
city Thursday night, and the finding was
death from natural causes.
The finding was that Mrs. McVicker
came to her death from edema, a disease
of the arteries, arresting the action of
the heart The autopsy was not In the
nature of an iriquest, although Coroner
Trout was represented.
Mrs. McVicker had intended to .return
to Chicago September 1. Her body will
be taken to Chicago on that date, accom
panied by Dr. Zeigler.
MACHINE TO BLEACH FLOUR.
White Bread Supposed to Be in Dan
ger in London.
LONDON, Aug. 27. White bread Is de
clared to. be a danger to the community.
Many millers, according to a writer in
the Times, are .introducing expensive ma
chinery for the purpose of bleaching flour
by ozone and nitrous acid In order to
make an artificially white bread, and en
able grain to be used which would other
wise give a" darker color to the flour.
"It -is an extremely serious matter,"
said Mr. T. R. Allinson, the well-known
authority on diet.
"The stamina of the nation is cer
tainly threatened by the craze of white
bread.
"If you take away the offal that is,
the 'seconds' and the bran in order to
make white bread, .you lose the lime
salts and the .phosphates which are abso
lutely essential to bone-making."
The new process for bleaching flour was
well known to Mr. Finch, of the "Baker's
Record." He differs from the view ex
pressed by Mr. Allinson.
"It Is nonsense to say' that the process
destroys the nutritive quality of the
bread," he said. "The very thing claimed
for the process is that certain nutritive
parts hitherto lost are actually recov
ADDITION TO AMERICAN FLEET
Battleship Louisiana Is Launched at
Newport News.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Aug. 27. The
battleship Louisiana, sister ship to the
Connecticut being built at the Brooklyn
Navy-Yard, was successfully launched at
the Newport News shipbuilding yards to
day. Miss Juanlta La Lande, of New

with the Brooklyn Navy-Yard.
Battleships Must Dock Oftener.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. As a result
of certain facts, developed by the cruise
of the North Atlantic battleship squadron
in European waters, it is not unlikely
that it will be found necessary to dock
battleships oftener than once a year.
One ship, according to the official reports
just received at the Navy Department
averaged 3.15 knots per ton of coal and
another only 2.46 knots per ton.
Of two ships in this squadron, it was
found that one was consuming 50 per cent
more coal than the other because of the
fact that the former had not been docked
for nearly a year, and her bottom was in
consequence so foul as to hinder her
progress.
Withdrawn for Irrigation Purposes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Upon the re
quest of the Geological Survey, the Com
missioner of the General Land Office has
withdrawn from all forms of disposal S0,
S40 acres of public land in the Durango
land district, Colorado, on account of the
Las Animas, N. M., reservoir site and ir
rigation works.
There also have been similar wthdrawals
of 26,600 acres in the Great Falls, Mont,
land district on account ' of the "Milk
River project and Beaver Creek reservoir
site.
New Chair for Naval Surgeon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Announce
ment is made at the Navy Department
that Surgeon P. A. Liverlng has been or
dered to the Naval Medical School at
Washington to assume the new chair of
tropical diseases. Because of the exten
sive duty in tropical countries which offi
cers and men of the Navy and Marine
Corps are called on to perform, this chair
was thought to be necessary.

POLITICS LEAD TO FIGHT.
Prominent Salt Lake Men Pummel
Each Other on the Streets.
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 27. As a cul
mination of the great bitterness arising

defeated for a third term nomination.

ernor Morrison, of Idaho, and Dr. H. N.

bruised.
Mr. Katz was Governor Wells' campaign

fight instantly followed. The men rolled,

clinched, and continued to pummel each

ONE REGISTRATION IS ENOUGH
Voters Who Signed Roil In Spring
Need Not,Repeat in Fall.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 27, (Special.) In an-
swer to inquiries from a number of Coun
ty Clerks, Attorney-General Crawford to
day rendered an opinion in which he ad
vises the Clerks that when registration
books are open between September 20 and
October 20, only those persons should be
registered who did not register last
Spring.
The registration law prior -to June, 1904,
provided for only one registration, in the
Spring. The direct-primary law, adopted
by the people at the June election, amend
ed the registration law so as to provide
that the books shall be open for a month
beginning September 20. Some of the
County Clerks thought from the reading
of the law that all voters must register In
the Fall, even though, they Tiad already
registered In the Spring.
The Attorney-General holds that the reg
istration in the Spring was legal and con
tinues in effect, even though the law was
amended. The second opening of the
books is merely for the purpose of regis
tering those voters who vdid not register
in me opnng.

Suicide of a Young Girl.
SANTA CRUZ. Cal., Aug. 27. One of the
most unaccountable and strange attempts
at suicide ever recorded at Santa Cruz
occurred today, when Alvina Hoffman, a
school girl of 14 years, swallowed the con
tents of a vial of strychnine. Her death is.
momentarily expected. The child was at
school and asked permission to leave the
room for a glass of water. When she re
turned she told a classmate that she had
talten poison. A. few minutes later she
was in convulsions. Little Miss Hoffman
is possessed of rare musical and dramatic
talent. She often appeared before the
public as a child amateur performer, her
forte being the talent she possessed as a
violinist.

I COCKER SPANIEL KILLED BY CAR
Mrs. H. A. Dyer Mourns Death of
Beauty, a Pet That Saved Her Life.
There is no crepe on the door at 175
Munroe street,, the home of Mrs. H
A." Dyer, but nevertheless that home Is
In mourning. In one room lies the man
gled body of Beauty, an educated cocker
spaniel, whose life was crushed out by a
street-car at ino corner or J?irst and
Washington streets at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and; in another sits Mrs. Dyer
in tears. Beauty was just an ordinary
cocKer spaniel to any one not acquainted
with her history, but to Mrs. Dyer she
was something akin to human, and there
by hangs a tale.
Mrs. Dyer has lived in Portland for
years. Her home was a happy one, she
was respected and beloved by her neigh
bors and was contented in all things save
one there was no baby's prattle to
brighten the house on gloomy days.
About two years ago a friend of Mrs.
Dyer's presented her with a cocker span
iel female of good pedigree. Mrs. Dyer
formed aulte an attachment for thA ant.
raal and began to educate her. One night
aoout a year ago when Mrs. Dyer was
alone in her house, a defective flue set
Are to the dwelling. The windows and
doors were cloBed and the' rooms rapidly
tinea with smoke, rendering Mrs. Dyer in
danger of death by suffocation.
Beauty was in the house, and the smoke
warned her that something was wrong.
She ran Into the room occupied by her
mistress, pulled at the bed covers until
Mrs. Dyer was awakened, and by this
means perhaps saved her life. At least
that Is the way Mrs. Dyer looked at it.
After the fire there was no animal In
Portland more petted than Beauty.
Wherever Mrs. Dyer went, there would
go the spaniel, and the two grew to be In
separable companions.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Dyer decided
to go down town, and, as usual, she took
Beauty. After doing her shopping, Mrs.
Dyer went to the corner of First and
Washington to take a car home. While
she was standing at the corner awaiting
her car Beauty started to journey across
the street to make the acquaintance of
another canine. A car approached from
the northward, and Beauty sprang away
from it, but under another car approach
ing from the south. Her mangled and
crushed body was dragged several feet
before the car could be brought to a
standstill. Mrs. Dyer witnessed the ac
cident, and screamed when she saw
3eauty's Ignoble death. Then she pro
cured a grain sack, covered the body of
her dead pet and stood guard until she
was carried fainting from the spot.
After recovering from the shock Mrs.
Dyer made arrangements, with the con
ductor of one of the cars to carry the
body of Beauty to the corner nearest her
residence. Mrs. Dyer accompanied the
funeral train, and saw that the body was
carried into her house. A casket will be
purchased and the dead pet entombed
with due reverence.
Look Forward to Duck Shooting.
Sportsmen are looking eagerly forward
to the arrival of September 1, when duck
shooting will begin, and ammunition and
gundealers are kept busy outfitting them.
.Tons of cartridges have been loaded to
fill orders. There Is nothing new" In the
gun line this season, and nothing mnm
deadly Is needed than the automatic gun

It Is Essentially a Successful
Home Remedy and Is
Taken at Home.

Home Treatment By.
Letter.
Women are everywhere talking about
Peruna.
"To be healthy" is the slogan of women
everywhere. The busy days have not a
moment to be given over to Ill-health.
Everyone is seeking a remedy that will
cure.
Peruna, because there are no narcotics
used in its composition. Is a cure, not a
stimulant.
Women tell each other of the wonders
Peruna has wrought. Not only do they
tell, but they write of it. and hundreds
of letters, that necessitate a large force
of clerks to assort, reach Dr. Hartman
every day from grateful have-been pa
tients, but who are now well.
The reason that Peruna is 3uch a
special favorite with women is something
more than all this.
Women are subject to pelvic catarrh.
This condition has been called all sorts
of names and is often referred to under
the general phrase female diseases. Peru
na cures these cases. Peruna cures them
because It cures catarrh wherever lo
cated. The nature of most of these ail
ments is catarrhal.
Catarrh is llableto attack any organ
of the body. It Is especially liable to at
tack one or more organs of the female
pelvis. No . wonder women talk about
Peruna. No wonder they think it is the
greatest medicine In the" world.
Pe-ru-na Brought Health and
Happiness.
Miss Nellie South. late of Manchester.
England, writes from 86 Prince Arthur
street, Montreal, Canada, as follows:
"Peruna Irate made a . vronderful
change In my life. It lias brought me
health and happiness. Since my seven
teenth year with female complaint and
Irregularities my general health suf
fered. I had pains In my back and lower
limbs, my eyes were dim, and I became
morose and unreasonable. Mother
sought the advice of our family phy
sician, who prescribed for me, hut I
grew no better under his treatment. I
then read of Peruna and procured a
bottle. That one bottle was worth
more than all the doctors' medicine I
had previously taken. I felt so much
better and kept on taking it for six
weeks with marked Improvement In
my health. I cannot express my grati
tude. Peruna has been a great blessing
to me." MIas Nellie South.
Pe-runa Cures Catarrh of the Bladder
Mrs. B. C Appleget, Royal Center, Ind.,
writes:
. "Last Winter I was troubled with ca
tarrh of the bladder.- I tried several dif
ferent remedies, and also went to a phy
sician, who said I would have to go
through an operation. But I objected to
that, so my husband got me a bottle of
Peruna to try. It did me so much good
that I got two more, and by the time I
had taken three bottles I was well. I
think Peruna is a fine medicine and
would advise all people suffering with
ing will be at Wood or Summer ducks,
the most beautiful and most delicate of
all the species of ducks, many of which
breed here, and the young are now fully
grown. These birds nest in trees, and
so are, to some extent, akin to upland
game, and their delicate white flesh and
the absence of oily taste seems to indi
cate this kinship. Epicures and caterers
are anxious for the shooting season to
begin, as most of them say they havo
not seen a young grouse or pheasant this
year. They acknowledge that they used
to "get a few of these birds out of the
season on the sly, but "not one this year,
so 'elp me." One who Is both caterer
and epicure said yesterday that he doubt
ed such statements, as he knew, with a
sly wink, of a man who had two young
pheasants for his dinner only a day or
two ago.
Peaches Cheap, Housekeepers Busy.
Housekeepers have been busy all this
week buying and putting up peaches for
Winter use. "Making hay while the sun
shone," as it were, for the market has
been flooded with this most delicious of
fruits for '-'putting up." Many kinds, of
many qualities, and at many prices, from
20 cents a box for over-ripe or poor ones,
up to 20 cents a dozen, or Jl a box "for
good ones, have been displayed by deal
ers. Peaches from different sections in
the state have varied greatly in quality,
for the season has been the most pecu
liar known here for a long time, and has
caused great disappointment and no small
loss to many growers and dealers as well
Yet fruit from some of what have always
been considered the best peach-growing
aistricts nas proved among the worst.
Many boxes of fine size and color were
found not to have a perfect .peach In
tnem, the pits in every one being cracked.
and the flesh so over-ripe on one side
that they were bruised in picking and
were advanced in decay when they
reached market.! Probably the soundest
and most perfect, and certainly tha
freshest and all that could be desired as
to size, color and flavor, were those from
the old Walling Kanch near Oswego.
There Is a sort of basin or depression In
the ground in which there Is a peach
orchard, which year after year produces
magnificent crops, while nowhere in tho
neighborhood outside of the depression
can such peaches be produced, except,
perhaps, occasionally. These peaches
went off like hot cakes at ?1 a box, while
about as good as could be found from
other sections were selling for 50 to 60
cents'. Several dealers paid 60 cents per
box for carload lots of fine looking
peaches in this orchard, and they cost
them 72 cents landed here. It was neces
sary to repack them at once, and there
was only about-half of them worth this
trouble, and for these not over 50 cents
a box could be. obtained. Dealers say the
late clingstone peaches will be of better
quality, and hope to have better luck In
handling them.

All cases of female diseases, Including

Irritation of the ovaries, tumors and
dropsy of the abdomen, should apply at

No one knows better than Dr. Hartman
how much the women suffer with dis
eases peculiar to their sex. No one
knows better than he does how many of
them suffer with such diseases. Patient
ly, hopefully, wearily, and often silently,
they eke out a miserable existence, year
after year. '
We have on file many thousand testi
monials like the ones given above. We
can only give our readers a slight
glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited
indorsements we are receiving every

has received such a volume of enthusias

A HOTHER'S LOVE.
A mother's love is so divine that the
roughest man can
not help but appre
ciate it as the crown
of womanhood.
However, Mother
hood is looked for
wardtowithfeelings of great dread by al
most all women. At
such times a wom
an is nervous, dys
peptic, irritable,
and she is in need
of a uterine tonic
and nervine, a
strength: builder to fit her for the ordeal.
No matter how healthy or strong a woman
may be she cannot help but be benefited by
taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
to prepare for the event.
77lis is what one mother says:
Jiwith a heart overflowing with gratitude I
will endeavor to write you. It is nearly two
years ago since I first wrote to you for advice
regarding my health which was then very bad,"
writes Mrs. L. Poo re, of Hinesdale, Ky., to Dr.
R. V. Pierce, chief consulting surgeon of the
Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, atEuffalo,
N. Y. "I have described my Bufferings in other
letters to you. After receiving your advice and
the Common Sense Medical Adviser ' I bought
some of TOur ' Favorite Prescription, and to-day
am a well woman and the proud mother of a
dear little boy."
Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable cures, a record such as no
other remedy for the diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women ever attained,
the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
ranted in ofiering- to pay $500 in legal
money of the United States, for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb which they cannot
cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable
trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility is well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States, with most of
whom they have done business for oyer a
third of a century.
How to live in health and happiness, is
the general theme of Dr. Pierce's Common
Sense Medical Adviser. This great work
on medicine and hygiene, containing over
1000 pages and more than 700 illustrations,
ia sent free on receipt of stamps to pay ex
pense of mailing only. Send 31 one-cent
stamps for the cloth-bound volume, or only
