"The osteopaths are trying to bluff
the State Board of Medical Examiners,"
said a prominent member of that board
yesterday, "and they try to bluff Legis
latures and jndges into permitting them
to openly violate the law. I have even
received threatening letters telling me
what the violators of the law would do
to me if I presisted in this matter, but
this does not deter me in the least.

on the sympathy of juries in the lower

at the lower courts. We will take the
cases right up on appeal. We were dis
posed to concede something in favor of
these practitioners, but their course of
braggadocio has had the effect of mak
ing the board more determined than
ever to prosecute violators of the law."
The State Board of Medical Examin
ers will hold its annual meeting in Port
land on January 5, 6, and 7, when a
number of applicants will be examined
in regard to their qualifications to prac
tice medicine within the state. Tho
prosecution of the osteopaths will then
be taken up.
But the latter are not sitting idly by,
awaiting developments. They are fully
organized'in Portland and the Medical
Board will find a good array of legal tal
ent and many technicalities to cope
with. The osteopaths claim they will

rights."

THE DOQ IN THE MANUER.
Delinquent tax lists arc now being
published in a number of the counties of
this state. Regarding such publications
the Oregon statutes provicd that these
lists shall be set in type not larger than
nonpareil and shall be paid for at a rate
not exceeding 25 cents per line. It is
noticeable that in Douglas county a
much larger type is being used, and it
therefore becomes the duty of the coun
ty officials to proportionately reduce tho
rate per line, in comformity with both
the letter and tho spirit of the law. The
county debt is now piling up rapidly
and all grafts should be 6trictly cut off.
Roseburg Review.
For the past ten years all the tax
lists of the county have been set up
in .the same kind of type as set up
this year. A large number of the
counties have used the same kind and
style of machine type this year. So
far as the Plaindealeu man is con
cerned he did not know the law in
the case or it would have been carried
out, not only in the letter, but in the
spirit; and if a mistake has been made

Charges against Consul Good now.
Charges against the official conduct of
John Gooduow, United States consul
general at Shanghai, China, have been
received at the state department. The
department officials decline information
as to the character of the charges. It is
admitted that they are of a very serious
nature, but officials are of the opinion
that the evidence furnished to support
them is not strong. Mr. Goodnow is
expected within a day or two. He is
bringing the commercial treaty between
the United Suites and China which pro
vided for tho opening of Manchurian

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannos
reach tho deceased portion of tho ear.
There is only one way to enro deafness,
and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
tlamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, ami when it is entire
ly closed, deafness is the result, and un
less the inilamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its norninl con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous services.
We will givo Ono Hundred Dollors for
any caso of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
