At each of these meetings a special message from Governor Wilson will be read. "In many of the Eastern states," said State Chairman Haney, yesterday, "the observance of the day will be more general and Wilson meetings will be held in every precinct. Of course, that is out of the question in a state the size of Oregon. But we have made arrangements by which a ' rousing Wilson- meeting will be held in each of Oregon's 34 counties." Not an Intimation has been received as to what the message from Wtlson will be. But it is believed to be more than likely it will consist of an earnest appeal from the Democratic nominee addressed to the Democratic voters of the county, urging them to go to the polls and in every way assist in pro moting the party's chances of sue In Multnomah County the day. will be observed in connection with the concluding rally of the campaign which will be held at the Armory Jiext Saturday night.

Because of his failure to pay Attor ney Arthur Langguth $150 for legal services rendered. Stoyn Ilia, adminis trator and sole heir of the estate of an alien who was killed some time ago on the Oregon Electric line, has been cited by County Judge Cleeton to come into court and give an explanation. If he refuses to pay he will be punished for contempt of court. The estate consisted entirely of a claim for damages against the railway company. Arthur Langguth first se cured the appointment as administrator of Theodore Dlmitry. Later Attorney W. M. Davis appeared and. on the ground that Ilia was a relative of the dead man. secured the removal of Dl mitry and the substitution of Ilia as administrator. A settlement has now been secured with the Oregon Electrlo Company for 41800, of which Attorney Davis secured J4S0 as his fee. At the time Judge Cleeton appointed Ilia he told him that If anything was secured from the rail way company Mr. Langguth would have to be paid for what' he bad done. Yes terday Attorney Langguth appeared at the Courthouse and said that Ilia had refused to pay him and that Attorney Davis had shrugged his shoulders and advised him to see Judge Cleeton about it. "I had the case practically settled and all that remained was for Davis to do the plucking," said Attorney Lang guth. "Now he gets 1450 and I have to fight for my fee." Colonel Wadsworth Wins Suit. Judgment for $7000 was given Colo nel J. Wadsworth against the Weinbard estate by a Jury In Circuit Court yes terday. The plaintiff sued to recover $30,000 as compensation for injuries, the principal of which was a broken arm. sustained by falling Into an open elevator shaft In ' the Labor Temple building, which is owned by the Weln hard estate. lift & $(jfvl 1 1 ( 1 - I. l - iinrn $ - : . - ' ill V r lllrrM . - i.t.imv.;:,w .a yy-.: .'.'.-w c- t t -i s d a r --i " "eMsi vj jo'-: v.' .v" T Nsr?l fc 1 CLUB OPENS HOME Transportation Men Have Big "Housewarming" Event. START MODEST, RISE FAST Organization Which Began With Luncheon Gathering- of Three or Fonr Grows to 400 and Has Quarters at Multnomah Hotel. "Boys, let's have lunch together to morrow and get Detter acquainted, said Orrle Thomas, of the Milwaukee Railroad office to a group of his friends In the lobby, of the Hallway Exchange building, one day last Winter. "We'll be with you, "was the chorus of replies. . The next day they met at the impe rial Hotel six or eight of them. In cluding a number of visitors from Se attle and other places. The result of that meeting is tne Portland Transportation Club, now numbering about 400 members and hav ing luxurious quarters in the Multno mah Hotel building, where a formal house warming took piace last Thurs day evning. - Name Implies AIL The Transportation Club Is strlotly what Its name Implies. It Is composed exclusively of railroad and steamship employes. There Is no woman's auxil iary nor an associate membership. Not even the traffic managers of the big In dustrial concerns, most of whom are old-time railroad agents, are admitted. The club started by weekly lunch eons at the Imperial Hotel, meeting every Thursday at noon, wnen some Derson experienced in transportation affairs would talk of railroad business or of some other subject closely related i v -,y-.'!. i ' --: :: i-::;-, ;;.' : iirisBslslsSBslilslslWsilHSjMSBVMsMsMs1SBsssBMsBasa t y r H usf- . .. t.

Once in a while a little comedy or musical enter tainment would be Injected Into the weekly programmes, and once a num ber of women mostly equal suffrage advocates were entertained. This continued for quite a while, un til the membership grew so that a meeting once a week would not afford sufficient outlet for the enthusiasm that developed. Then the permanent club room idea was suggested. The Multno mah Hotel offered just about what the majority of members had in mind. Comfortable Rooms Enjoyed. . These rooms are located on tha mei zanlne floor of the hotel building, over looking Third street, and are nicely ar ranged for social diversion and Indoor recreation at times when the members are not on duty. It is a favorite gath ering place at the noon hour when tne railroad employes are out to lunch. A long hallway connects wUh the balcony overlooking the hotel lobby. Off of this hallway are a pool and billiard room, a parlor and lounging room, reading room, muslo room, card room, secre tary's office and wash rooms. A cloak room Is provided at the entrance. The rooms are elegantly furnished and fin ished throughout in a brown tint. Ev ery piece of furniture and decoration harmonizes with this color scheme. An automatlo player-piano recently "was added to the equipment. . Several of the railroads have given the club handsome pictures of Bcenlo points along their lines of travel. An ample supply of literature, including dally papers, mag azines and railroad publications. Is maintained in the reading room. One of the rules strictly enforced from the start Is that prohibiting gambling in any form and drinking In the club rooms. The organization has the sanction of the officials of the various transportation' companies represented here. Many of them are members. However, the actual direc tion of the club Is in the hands of the younger element in the railroad world men holding comparatively minor positions. Men of every department traffic, operation, legal accounting and engineering are listed on the rolls. Membership Field Large. With the possible exception of San Francisco Portland has more railroad employes than any city on the Coast, and the actual membership by no means represents the number of men en gaged In the transportation business here. Provision, also is made for a non-resident membership to accommo J -r-4it:"li - n iierrl .Jill "Tiff E SS-:.,i' I ..: Wl- ci3 1 I r: Hi t. i wi ( XSa-i, 5 w - 1 X r' i. date transportation men living in other parts of the ' state. When tne general oassenger agents recently visited rort land their entertainment was wholly In the hands of this club.

Merrlman and E. L Cardie, directors. The present officers are: J. E. War leln, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, president; A. B.

Company, W. O. Roberts, of the Great Northern, and T. A. Rochester, of the Rock Island, system, directors. . SSO Attend Opening. The formal opening of the club rooms on Thursday was attended by about 350 members and the members of their families. The function was in charge of N. C. Soule, of the O.-W. R. & N. Company; A. L Stephens, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company; W. Merrl man,' of the Southern Pacific; Colonel J. B. Eddy, of the Southern Pacific, and R. W. Pickard, of the North Bank. Edward B. Duffy, of the Denver & Rio Grande, attended to the entertainment features. It is planned to have a so cial function to which the wives of members will be Invited at least once a month during the Winter. Prizes are given for the best scores In "500." Mrs. T. E. Wallace and R. E. Piper won the prizes last week. An experimental rule now being tried by the club requires the president to appoint a new house committee each month. The committee for November will consist of W. O. Roberts, of the Great Northern, H. J. Houghton, of the same road, I F. Knowlton, of the North Bank, W. J. Leonard, of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, J. K. Fox, of the New York Central, and E. M. Burns, of the Chicago Great Western. - St. Helens Company Incorporates.

Dear Sir: I have found your book, "The American Government," of very great interest. There is room for genius in all things and jfau have certainly displayed it in the illuminative and succinct manner in which you have presented the work ings of the government shop to its millions of proprietors. . Respectfully yours, - D. SOLIS COHEN. "The American Government" has been indorsed by leading educators, clergymen and public men throughout the country. Portland citizens have joined in giving the volume the most complimentary indorsement. Ilaskin shows Uncle Sam at work. It contains a complete exposition of every department of our National Government. It should be read by every boy and girl in the state. It teems witti thousands of useful and interesting facts. After you have read and digested this work, the words "National Government" mean something more to you than a "hazy something" situated at Washington. You will understand it all then, as though you had personally investigated each governmental department under the guidance of the depart ment head.

Leese and Robert Burns for kicking Adam Dr. Hartman Makes Public the Facts As to What Doctors Think of Peruna II b , jJ! Mill -1 lr: ' mi mil --1-"""' S. B. HARTMAN, M. D. Of coure doctors disagree about Peruna. the same as they do on all other subjects. It is generally thought that the doctors are unanimously op posed to Peruna. It Is well known that Peruna has cured a great many cases after doctors have given them up. This would naturally oxclte animosity or Jealousy on the part of the doctors. Then It Is a fact that the average doc tor is opposed to ready-made medicines of all kinds. They know very well If a bottle of medicine is sold at the drug store that moans that some doctor loses prescription and perhaps a patient. So they are generally opposed to patent medicines, or ready-made medicines as they can them. But ever slnoo peruna nas Deen soia I have known of many doctors who are In favor of Peruna. Some of them be lieve in It secretly, others openly. All this time I have been receiving letters from regular practicing physicians of fering to send me testimonials as to the virtues of Peruna, provided I would pay them for doing so. It is nothing unusual tnai a aocior should expect pay for such a service. Tho manufacturers of so-called ethical nrenarations advertised in the medical journals, used by the doctors only, are in me nauii ul uwv.d .v timonials. If a doctor has found some one of these proprietary remedies use ful and .can write a good, smart article about it, the manufacturer is perfectly willing to pay the doctor for this serv ice. Bo it is perfectly natural for doo tors to write to me telling me that they know of cases where Peruna has made marvelous cures, and are willing to furnish me the facts if I will pay them. Rut I have always refused to pay for Mich a service. I have invariably made a courteous reply to the doctor, telling him It is opposed to my policy ana principles to pay for testimonials, either directly or indirectly. There would be Baker to death on Morrison street on the night of July 28, Is to turn state's evidence and testify against his com panions. As a preliminary Chrlsten een was taken before Circuit Judge Kavanaugh yesterday and changed his plea of not guilty to guilty. At the request of Deputy District Attorney Page the boy was allowed to go on his own recognisance and passing of sentence was deferred until after the trial of the other youths. Mr. Page declares that no promises of immunity were held out to young Chrls tensen. Leese and Burns will be placed on trial this week before a Jury In Judge Kavanaugh's court. Chrlsten sen's testimony will be the best evidence the state will have against no trouble at all In my obtaining hun dreds of testimonials from doctors If I would pay the doctors for doing so. I recently received such a letter from Kentucky, from a doctor who says he has been practicing medicine for a quaTter of a century, and la at present medical referee for this county, presl dent of the county medical board, local surgeon of the C. & O. railroad, mem ber of the state medical society and American Medical Association," and all that. He has used Peruna and offers to give me a very remarkable test! monial If I would pay him for doing so. He does not set any price but expects me to offer him something, which of course I refused to do. He said, "I have been afflicted with a sub acute inflammatory condition of the post nasal space, and of recent years the larynx has been Involved In the catarrhal process. Tour Peruna en tirely relieved me of both conditions, after a comparatively Bhort time of using it. Today I am the happiest man alive. Medical men will hardly believe me when I tell them that your medicine cured me, but It Is a fact. Nevertheless I had tried for fifteen years every known means, took treat ment at several sanitariums." He Is willing to take oath to these state ments If I will make It worth his while to do so. It was very gratifying to receive such a testimonial from a brother phy slclan and quite a temptation to pay him a small sum and allow his letter to be published. But I have an unde vlatlng policy of refusing to pay any one for a testimonial. Nothing would sooner lead to Insincerity and embar rassment than to offer pay for testl monlals. I should be flooded with tes timonials of all sorts and In spite of every precaution some of them would be untrustworthy. In referring to the doctor's letter I do not consider that I am violating the ordinary courtesies and confidences of private correspondence. I have not made use of his name or the town where he resides. But I am perfectly willing to communicate the name and address by private correspondence If any one wishes me to do so, or submit the letter for examination to any In quirer who may call at my office. 'And I may say the same in advance of the next letter that I am about to refer to. Another doctor from North Carolina writes me. He says: "I have a case under observation now permanently cured by Peruna that has baffled the medical profession ever since the dis ease was known." He says, "I have successfully cured the case with Peruna and feel that If the public knew the facts about the case that it would be a great boon to the public, as well as the greatest advertisement ever given any medicine on the market." He says, "I can furnish a sworn statement of the particular case and give you the great est ad. for Peruna ever known for any remedy. The disease cured in this case Is regarded by the profession as incur able. I prescribed the Peruna myself and know all the particulars. The patient had consulted leading medical authorities, had taken the most modern treatment, and everything failed, not even obtaining relief. He had also applied for Insurance and upon exam Ar r I i V.' , U I m 'J r ' ; . ' Vj D. Solta Cohen. them. He has agreed. It Is under stood, to make a clean breast of the whole transaction. Club to Announce Returns. Arrangements have been made by the Portland Commercial Club to se cure by direct wire returns on the Na tional election, Tuesday night, Novem ber 5. A speolal 75-cent dinner will be served at the club on that night. The election returns will be announced in the dining-room and also In the green room and the billiard-room. Tha irmi which mki brewers' yeuit are atrnnser alcohol producers than any other yat. ination was rejeoted. After taking the Peruna treatment for a few months he again applied for Insurance, was ex amined and accepted. This was one year ago now and be is still well." The doctor goes on to say, "I await your early reply, and If you place the valua tion to you on this that I do I am sure the inducement you offer will meet my approval and I will furnish you with sworn statement of the case for an advertisement." Now these two letters are only sam ples of letters that I have been receiv ing for the last twenty-five years, from doctors from all parts of the United States. I have made no use of these letters for the reason that pay was always demanded and' I do not think It Is strictly moral to offer any mone tary Inducement for published testi monials. I have never done so and I never shall. But incidentally this kind of letters proves conclusively that Peruna Is a great remedy for catarrhal diseases. No doctor would resort to Peruna until after he had exhausted every other remedy. When Peruna can assert its value In the hands of people that are naturally prejudiced against it, It has proven Itself a wonderful remedy. Again I wish to say, I do not blame these doctors for expecting me to pay them. That Is the way the regular ethical manufacturer does and I have no quarrel with It. I am citing these cases not to disparage the doctors who have written these letters, but rather to show that doctors In good standing, in spite of their prejudice against Peruna, scores of doctors have been convinced of Its value in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. I am a doctor myself. I have prob ably treated more patients than any one doctor in the state In which I live. I doubt if there are many doctors In the United States who have treated more cases. I have long been con vinced that Peruna is the best remedy obtainable for catarrhal diseases. I have seen thousands, yes tens of thou sands, of people recover from catarrhal aliments by the use of Peruna. I can not believe otherwise than tnat peruna is today the best remedy that has ever been devised for catarrhal diseases. I am not sure but that I will have my files searched ror similar letters to the ones I have alluded to, for there are a great many of them filed away. I may publish a book containing a large number of testimonials given me by doctors, which I have withheld from the public because I was not willing to pay any one for writing a testi monial, however valuable It might seem to be. Of course I will not use this booklet for public advertisement, since I have not the doctors' consent to do so, but It will be sent through the mails to those only who request it, chiefly to the medical profession.
