KTATIEHENT BY' 1CKEIJS BROS. Truht J)ced Given Bank for the Pur pose of Borrowing Money. SALEM. Or.. Now 35. (To the Editor.) For the benefit of our friends and busi-n-'s associates, and incidentally for the j jrpose of satisfying the curiosity of the Fosslpera as well as to correct malicious fals. statements published in some news papers of the state, we make the follow .ng statement concerning our affairs. One papr-r stated that we owed tadd & Bush 51S0.O00: and another that we were unable to meet all our obligations. Neither of them are correct or worthy of further oiisideration. We would like to know of a just obllga- lon which we are unable or have rofused to meet. We invite all our creditors, who b actual count are three in number, to present their bills, and we shall pay them. The sum we owe Ladd & Bush is insig mfl:ant In comparison to the large amount t property we own. The trust deed .whkjh we have given the bank was given for the purpose of securing them for what ow as well as to' onable us to borrow whenever our business requires it, with out the nebessity of giving a mortgage. As the trust deed only operated as a mortgage, we are still the owners of the property. The newspapers have also failed to men tion the property which we own in Tllla rrjok County, Or.; the State of Idaho, the City of Chicago, and in the State of Texas. It is true we have lost some money the past year, but not nearly so much as is accredited to us. It always sterns to bo the fashion of some publl- ations to exaggerate the actual facts and ?ump on to one whom they think is down. .Any one speculating extensively must be r repared to sustain heavy losses, as well t to reap large profits. We have accu i." alated a large amount of property, all cf which was made on speculation. In conclusion, we want to thank our nu i i rous friends for the unsolicited expres r.ons of sympathy and voluntary offers c f aid, and wo assure them that wo shall continue to do business at the same old stand, in the same old way. on the same od farms, with possibly a few new addi tions from time to time, and we shall con- nue to hold and control the sale of over 2000 bales of hops of the old and new crop until next Spring, unless the market should advance materially In the moan- Tn- KRBBS BROS.

At the appointed hour the bnde-lo-bc failed to appear and upon Immediate Inquiry it was found that the woman had disap peared. She has not been hoard from since. Sandow was dejected for some time, but he soon forgot and forgave and was ready for another chance at matrimony. Last year he met with a similar experience but did not lose as much In this deal. During the early part of the present yea: another attempt was made to secure a wife through an agency, but the subject. upon acquainting herself with the har nossmaker, decided that she would re turn to her home in the East. She left after the marriage license had been ae cured.

Miss Gains and the Helix man became in tensely Interested. Her offered Adams a fee of 5300 If he would induce Miss Gains to come to Oregon and consent to the marriage. Overtures were at once made and the young lady arrived two weeks ago. The wedding date was set for last Saturday, but, owing to the fact that the bride-elect's trousseau was not ready, the marriage was postponed until today. Captain Isaacs, postmaster of Helix, performed the ceremony in the presence of a few friends. Sandow Is now the hap piest man In Helix, though he has spent a small fortune in the attempt to secure a wife The county records show that he had obtained four marriage licenses with in the past three years. PLAYING POLITICS, SAYS BUYER Grain Commissioner Declared to Be Insincere In Combine Talk. TACOMA, Wash.. Nov. '25.

Those who say anything at all are Inclined to consider the matter as a Joke. "All that stuff looks all right on pa por." said a -grain man today, "but going into court with their case Is a different thing. I don't know of any law that can punish any set of business men for agree ing on trade regulations for the conduct of their business. In my opinion thore Is more politics than anything else In the agitation being made by State Grain Commissioner Reed." SUMMONED BY JUDGE HUNT Hyde, Benson and Others Charged With Fraud in Montana.

Expresses Sorrow at Sister-in-Law's Dcatli, but Says .It Was Necessary, and Ap plauds Her Husband. SAN FRANCISCO. CaL, Nov. 23. (Spe cial.) Virginia Dopaoll, Rl'e of the mur- . derer who yesterday alew his slstor-ln- . law In the presence of his family. Is con- fined Jn a coll at the detention hospital. Her 14-montb-old baby Annie was taken from her at midnight by Dr. Miller, who feared that the woman might become j violent She did break out at 4 o'clock ; this morning, wrreamlng- and praying at j the top of her voice. Afterward she be- I came quiet and now she is composed and J talks very calmly and, except for her su- I perstitlous notons. rationally. ( Mrs. Dcpaoli gave further particulars of j the murder. She stated that her husband j cried bitterly while he was killing the : poor woman, saying, "My God. she Is my sister-In-law and I got to kill her to j pave my children." She says she cned also,-and that the children were scream ing, for they also were in the kitchen when the murder was done. She is very sorry for her sister-in-law, she says, but she expresses no sorrow for what her husband did. She still regards It as the necessary thing which had to be done. The police have not undertaken to solve the Intricate problem which lies behind Depaoli'B crime. In all cases where the motive is complex, insanity Is relied upon as a satisfactory explanation. Inquiry into the antecedents of the murderer fall to disclose that he ha? shown any of the symptoms which are accepted as an indication of a diseased mind. For many years he has conducted a successful busi ness, paved a small competence, reared his children carefully, attended church regularly and has been regarded by his associates as a careful and astute bar gainer. Suddenly a strange hallucination creeps upon him. He fears that" evil spirits are ' about to seize his children. But the problem of the crime is onjy half-way solved by these halluci nations. "Why should his wife harbor the name hallucinations? It Is well known that two maniacs never reason alike, yet Depaoll and his wife were of one accord about the spirits. She even stood at his side as he beat out the brains of his brothera,wifc and encouraged him in his brutal act. Hunter Gets Part oC Money. WOODBURN. Or.. Nov. 25. (Spe cial.)

Nearly eTerybody knows that charcoal Is the a&feat and moat efficient disinfectant and purifier In nature, but few reatlxe its value when taken into the human system for tho same cleanslnjr purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take o it the better; It is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities sjways present in the stomach and. In testln'eJ and carries them out of the system. Charcoal uweetens the breath after smoking-, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a' natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious, gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; It disin fects the mouth and throaC from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is la Stuart's Char coal Loxenges; they are composed of th finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasantrtastlnr lozengts. the charcoal being mixed with honey.

A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: "I advise Stuart's Charcoal Lounges to all "patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; Z also believe the liver Is. greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drag stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I xot more aad better charcoal In Stuart's Char coal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets."
