S DEATH fl MYSTERY spokaxe cigar salesman was probably: murdered. Police Say Beltinck Fell While Drunk, but -Friends - Insist He Met Four Play. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 7. (Special.) Mystery surrounds the death of E. P. Beltinck, salesman for the Seigel Cigar Company, whose body was found this afternoon wedged between the timbers of the Great Northern trestle and the foun dation of the Echo mill. The police- be lieve that while under the influence, of liquor he walked out on the trestle and fell to his death. In support of this theory, they point to the fact that about $40 was found upon his person, so they believe he was not murdered. ' Siegel, Beltinck's employer, scouts the accidental explanation, and declares that Beltinck was murdered. He declares that he was not a drinking man, and accounts for the finding of the money by the ex planation that ' thugs who held him up might have been' frightened away. Bel tinck had been making collections, and Siegel says that . he might . have easily had $100 or more about him when killed. When found, the body was weighted down with a rock that required the efforts of two men to remove. His neck had been broken. He was seen about his hotel this morn ing, and was sober. Barber law. agaix upheld Washington, Supreme . Court, How ever, Not Unanimous. OLYMPIA, Wash., Dec.. 7. (Special.) The Supreme Court -has again affirmed the constitutionality of the -barber exam iner law . The decision was rendered .to day.' in the-case of the State agalst Carrie D. Walker. She was arrested In Tacoma for p'racticlng barbertng - without a ' li cense, ; but the Superior "Court-there held the; act unconstitutional. Judges Mount,. Root and -Dunbar hold the law valid, but say that section 10 Is void. This -section limits the license to those who have studied the trade for two years as an apprentice :under or as qualified or practicing -barbers in' this or other, states. . The decision says that those who have attended barber schools or have by their own efforts become competent, should be allowed to regis ter. Justices Hadley and Crow did not sit in -this case. Justice Rudkln-filed a vigorous dissenting opinion, in which he said the act . was pernicious legislation, unconstitutional and designed primarily for the control of the barber business oy the examining board and its licensees. .

Serious charges touching the -professional conduct of the State Board of Dental Examiners, of . which Dr. Ebln B. Edgars is president, Dr. H. D. Brand secretary, and W. A. Flshburn, F. R, Flck and C. S. Irwin are members, have been fljed with' Governor A. E. Mead by Dr. Edwin J. Brown, a dentist in the Union block. The charges were for warded to the Governor, today. , - . .The most serious charge made by Brown is to the effect that Dr. Arthur Jordan conducts a "quiz class," the questions of which are to all .'Intents and purposes the same as those pro pounded to a would-be dentist by Presi dent Edgars, of the dental board. When told of -the charges yesterday afternoon, Dr. Edgars stated .that they resulted from a couple' of ""."turn downs" Brown had received '.from the dental board, that the public should not take .them at all seriously, and" "if Dr. Brown would study and fit himself for dentistry instead of devoting his time to 'knocking,' the dental board people would have more respect for him."

Restaurant-owners threaten to close: up every restaurant in town tomorrow and to keep them closed until the' employes agree to terms.

' The fight between restaurant owners and the employes is not limited to organized help, for non-union - men walked out with union employes and even the Japanese porters and cooks- joined today's strike. It is predicted 150 men and women will be involved in a gen eral, strike by Monday. , v - BELIEVE FARMER DROWNED Barneyr Sheridan's -Horse Turns Up With' Saddle, but No Rider. PENDLETON, Or.. Dec. 7. (Special.) That Barney Sheridan,, one of the pro minent and . well-to-do farmers of Uma tilla County, was drowned In the Colum bia River . Friday, there seems to be no doubt.

BLOCKED BY HARRIMAN United Railways Company; Unable to Enter Terminal Yards. ; "We are not worrying about losing our franchise," declared Herman Wit tenberg, of ' the fjnlted Railways Com pany, yesterday. "We know the Coun cil to be fair and that its members will not discriminate-! against us. We are ready for business. " Our - freight- loco motive has arrived from -the East, and all that hinders us -from operation is the apparent '- unwillingness .of the Northern Pacific. Terminal Company to allow us to connect with its tracks in the terminal yards in North Portland. "We hope to persuade this company to allow-a connection . with' our-tracks without any recourse to the law. We 66 Remember 3 Days Only BUFFUM & PENDLETON 311 MORRISON STREET cannot do anything In the courts at this time, anyway. Just the moment we can get this connection, -we will be ready for business on Front street. There Is a law In this state which com pels terminal companies and railroads to allow connections with other lines. -This law would apply In our case and force the terminal company to come to terms, but what good is a law when the courts do not meet? Anyway, we much prefer to bring about a peaceable settlement. "Tbe fact Is the Southern Pacific has been fighting us from the start, and is still against us. This has been the cause of most of our trouble in getting rails laid into the terminals. We think it will be all right, however, and do not expect any difficulty in holding our franchise. We have plenty of business In sight and by means of switches to docks we will be a great benefit to Appendicitis How to Avoid It and Escape a Sur gical Operation, Told y One Who Knows. A Simple Method Tliat I Alwaya Kfrlcacloua. It has only been a few years since it was 'discovered that a surgical opera tion would cure appendicitis; in fact, it has been but a short time since the disease was discovered and named. Whenever there is an inflamed con dition of the appendix, caused by im pacted faeces In the small cavity open ing Into the Intestine, you then have appendicitis. The older doctors used to call this inflammation of the bowels, and were puzzled to know the cause. Even now, with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you why we should have an. appendix, why we find it where it Is or what are its functions, If it has any. The disease for which the operation is a cure is usually caused by Indi gestion, and in many cases follows a large and indigestible meal. Physicians have, until recently rec ommended an' operation, but now, as it Is known that It Is caused by indiges tion, or .dyspepsia, a cure without an operation is assured. Where the patient is treated with Stuart's .'Dyspepsia Tablets, .the un healthy conditions prevailing rapidly disappear, the stomach and intestines are placed back in-their normal con dition, every organ of the body operates as it should, and the inflammation- is redueed and the operation is avoided. ..Conscientious physicians, who -are looking after. the best interests of their patients, "will always keep a supply of Stuart's Dyspepsia . Tablets -. handy ' In their office, where . in cases of sudden attacks of Indigestion; they can relieve the patient at once. - ' .There" Is no record of a case of ap pendicitis where tl-.e stomach and bow els , were in a healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meal. No better advice can be rfiven to any one who has attacks of indigestion,. or who has been threatened with appendi citis, than to tell him to go to the drug store, pay 50 cents and take home a package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach or bowels, heart disease or stomach troubles, sour eructlons, acidity or fer--mention 'is present, act at once. Take a dose of the Tablets and get relief as soon s possible. At -all druggists 50 cents. Send us your name and address today and we will at once send you by mail a sample package free. Address F. A.
