Now we are told by scientists that
there is no excuse for short women re
maining short; that is if they want to
get into the tall class. All that Is neces
sary to increase their stature is a system
of leg-pulling. It seems to work differ
ent with men, for we have noticed that
the men whose legs are most frequent
ly pulled are apt to be “short.”
T he Supreme Court has affirmed
the judgment of the circuit court for
Klamath county, in the ease of B. S.
f erns, appellant, vs. J. P.|Lee. It was
held that where trial was had without
t. jury and the court made findings of
fact and conclusions of law, but these
were lost for a time, the judgment is
nevertheless valid and the findings
subsequently found may be written in
to the records.
C hicago ,the second city in America,
may be threatened with bankruptcy.
Suita for damages against the city ag
gregating •38,0CO,OOO are pending, and
should judgment be had In half of these
cases insolvency will be the result.
Most of these damage cases are for per
sonal injuries resulting from defective
sidewalks. Though not as large as
Chicago, Medford had best take warn
ing.
S enators should be elected by a di
rect vote of the people. But until that
can be provided for, and, popular as
the idea is, amending the Constitution
to put it into force will be slow busi-
nes. State conventions or primary
elections should settle the matter in ad
vance of the meeting of the Legislature
and thus leave that body with noth
ing to do in the premises but ratify the
choice previousy expressed by the
people at the polls.
T he time wm when a congressman
or senator could live in Washington on
* salary of $2500 a year, and when the
president was content to get along on
•25,000. But times have changed. Con
gressmen raised their salaries to 15000,
and many of them find it impossible to
keep "soul and body” together on that
amount. The president, too, finds that
he can’t “entertain” as he desires on
the paltry sum of 150,000 a year.
These are indeed strenuous times for
the poor office-holders. It is a wonder
that a lot of them don't ask to be re-
tired to private life.
W oman suffrage will be given a
trial in Australia. The coming federal
elections there will have an unusual
significance, because for the first time
the entire female citizenship of a conti
nent will exercise the unrestricted
right of suffrage. Over 860,000 woman
voters are registered, and, needless to
say, such a great increase of the fran
chise has introduced uncertainties into
the election sufficient to cause even
the most experienced politicians to lose
their prophetic bearings entirely.

of sterling character and conspicuous
ability, he has for many years been re
garded as one of the foremost citizens
of the country. As Secretary of the
Navy he inaugurated the policy that
has resulted in our occupying our pres
ent enviable position as a naval power,
and he may very properly be referred
to as “the father of the American
navy.” His death will be especially re

T he old saying .that “fire is a good

exemplified in the unprecedented de
struction of property in Baltimore by
the fire which it seemed utterly impos

abundance of material to feed its vora
cious demands, the resisting efforts of
man seem a mere mockery. In a mo
ment the earnings of a lifetime go up
in smoke and every means of opposi
tion are fruitless. If a breeze is not al
ready blowing, the onward rush of the
fire will mutually create one, and build
ings which have wont to be boasted as
fireproof are as but the easiest oNcom-
bustible material. The beautiful city
ot Baltimore will have the sympathy of
tbe entire world in her awful misfor

made to get Gold Hill to join. Four

HANNA’S CONDITION UNCHANGED
Physicians Unable to Say When Crisis
Will Occur.
Washington, Feb. 11.—Senator Han
na's condition remains practically un
changed. Tbe restlessness which fa
tigued him Tuesday night has been
followed by periods of comparative
quiet and sleep during yesterday, and
the lrrrltabllity of the stomach has
again partially yielded to treatment
It is this feature of the case that the
physicians are guarding zealously
against, as they realise that If any
complications develop In the senator’s
distressingly weak condition the re
sult may be fatal quickly.
The doctors are not yet able to pre
dict with any certainty when the cri
sis in the case will occur. All they
know for certain Is '.hat the senator
has had the fever continuously for
eleven days, and the disease, they say,
generally runs its course in three or
four weeks. The doctors Bay they are
satisfied with the progress of the case,
although they do not conceal their ap
prehension that unforeseen complica
tions may arise at any time.
PASTURE FOR STARVING CATTLE.
Olympia. Wash., Feb. 11.—Governor
McBride has received a telegram from
Governor Pardee of California, asking
if starving, but otherwise healthy cat
tle from the drought-stricken ranges
of Southern California would be ad
mltted to this state. The governor
will investigate the matter before re
plying. It is believed that the stock-
men on the Washington ranges will
object seriously to the importation of
any great number of cattle to the profit
of California stockmen. It is a ques
tion, however, whether the authorities
of this state can legally prevent the
importation of clean cattle for feed
ing purposes.
EXPLOSION CAUSES DEATH.
Kansas City, Feb. 11.—Miss Jessie
Averill, aged 20, a clerk in a millinery
store, was burned to death and four
others were injured, one perhaps fatal
ly, In a fire that destroyed a three
story apartment house at Fifteenth
and Harrison streets. There were sev
eral narrow escapes and several per
sons jumped from second and third-
Btory windows.
SHIP ASHORE.
San Francisco, Feb. 11.—The Am-
erlcan ship Henry B. Hyde, one of the
fleet owned by the California Ship
ping company, is ashore at Danineck
Station and it Is probable that she will
be a total loss. The vessel was a the
way from New York for Balt
.re to
load for this port when s’ struck.
She went ashore during th
ight and
a dispatch received here by the own
ers stated that a gale was blowing
and that there was little hope for thd
vessel. She was leaking. All of the
crew succeeded in reaching the land.
W. E. Mlghell is the managing owner
of the vessel. The Henry B. Hyde was
built at Bath, Me., In 1884. She had
a displacement of 2,583 tons gross.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
ycur kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood,
if they are sick sr cut
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick er unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart Is
over-workiag in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mtstake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

soon realized. It stands the highest for its
