Tho Portland Telegram sayH: "If tlio State Board of Medical Examiners is going after the opteopathB, as threat ened, in order to make them conform to tho laws governing tho practice of medi cine in Oregon, thoro is littlo aign of it at present. The Btato board Ht ill pro tests that it will prosecute and tho osteo paths still declare that they fear no ac tion, openly inviting tho opposition to come to the attack. Several weeks ago the board, through its secretary, Dr. Byron E. Miller, an nounced that arrests of prominent osteo paths wero about to be made, as practi tioners of the osteopathic school wero violating tho laws of Oregon in neglect ing to obtain licenses from the Stato Medical Board. The announcement put tho osteopaths on their metal and an or ganization was affected for the purpose of fighting the matter through tho courts. The action of the state board at its regu lar meet'ng shortly after was looked up on with considerable interest, as it was supposed that the initial movement would take place then, but the board ad journed without mentioning tuo word "osteopath" so far aa anybody on the outside knew. "We have not dropped tho subject, by any means." Dr. Miller said today, on being asked why tho anti-osteopath cam paign, which he had announced, was be ing delayed, "but wo are not quite ready to go ahead yet. The impression that we were going to proceed against tho osteopaths at the meeting of the Board of Examiners, however, was not well founded. Wo were pot ready at that time nor did wi expect to be. "When we do proceed we do not ex- pect to stop at a jury trial, but will carry the case up to the Supreme Court, if we lose before the lower tribunal. We have the opinion of the Attorney-General on the matter and know we are on the right track." But Dr. Miller would not say when or how the osteopaths were to be prose cuted, and he was decidedly opposed to talking further on the subject. Leading osteopaths spoken to on the matter smiled and looked upon the af fair as a closed incident. "The State Medical Board thought it would run a bluff on us, but it didn't work," one practitioner said. "I guess now it has decided to let us alone. We know our rights and our cause has been successful in every state where the medi cal doctors tried to run us out. The higher courts will not sustain any class of men who contend that they and they only are qualified to cure tho ills flesh is heir to. A large number of osteopaths in Oregon are effecting cures where the old practitioners have foiled. We are not worrying over the matter, and if the medical doctors think thev can ran us out let them come on." Churches Consolidate. A news dispatch from St. Louis of last Friday's date says: It is stated on good authority that the proposed federation of the Cumberland and Presbyterian churches became an assured fact at the "conclusion of last Friday's conference of the subcommit tees of both the bodies which have been in session the past few days. It is announced on the authority of one of the most prominent churchmen present that all matters pertaining to the consolidation of the two churches have been arranged, and the only ques tion remaining deals with the phraseo logy of certain prescribed forms. "I may say that the sessions have been most harmonious and the subcom mittees really had very little to do after the general committees had finished their labors," said the informant, who refused to have his name made public. 'Of course wo arc all proud of the re sults accomplished. It means a greater, better, more prosperous union of the two large Presbyterian denominations." Measuring Statcllltes. Observations of faint satellites of the solar system planets, whose faintness prevents them being observed except by two telescopes in the world, have just been given to the world in Lick Observa tory bulletin No. 51. The motions of the fifth satellite of Jupiter were ob served in 1903, those of the satellites of Uranus in 1903, and measures of the satellite of Neptune in 1901-1902. Assistant Astronomer Aitken did the work with 36-iuch reflector and has suc ceeded in determining more accurately the separate motions of the members of these planetary systems. Jupiters fifth satellite and the two inner satellites of Uranus give measurements of special in terest, because no telescopes except the Lick and Yerkes have been able to find them. Cleveland Hits the Pipe. Last week's Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post contains an article from Ex-President Cleveland, who urges his rank of filo associates "of tho demorcat- ic party to unite and take advantage of opportunities next November." "I am one of those," he writes, "who believe that there is opportunity for democratic success in the coming Presi dential election. "This is no time for cunning finesse. nor for the use of words that conceal in tentions or carry a doublo meaning; "Tho democratic party has a message to send to its followers, and the masses of tho American people. Let that mes sage bo expressed in language easily un derstood, unconfused by evasion and untouched by the taint of jugglery. Ob solete issues and questions no longer challenging public interest should bo manfully abandoned." Arralsiift the AduitulHlrntlon. Mr. Cleveland urges tariff reform pleads for economy in expenditures of.' public money and charges the opposition with having made promises and broken i them. Ho arraigns tho administrations' Philippine, policy and refers to tho isth mian canal in these words: "Tho democratic party has been con sistent and unromitting in its advocacy of an inter-oceanic canal, and has with tho liveliest satisfaction looked forward to tho day when such a highway of com merce, built under auspices of our gov ernment, bo contributed by America to tho world's progress and civilization. It nevertheless is not within the man date of the democratic creed that in consummating so noblo an enterprise as this, tho terrritorial rights of any other nation should be disregarded or that our own national good faith should bo subjected to reasonable suspicion." Mr. Cleveland urges for the selection of a leader a man of broad principles, fully conversant with the needs of the country and people. He concludes as follows: "The democrats' opportunity is al ready in Bight, but only in a campaign waged in reliance on tho people's love of country and devotion and national mo rality under leadership that personifies the eentimcnt would be found democra cy's hope." The World's Fair Route. Those anticipating an Eastern trip, or a visit to the Louisiana Purchase Expo sition at St. Louis, cannot afford to over look the advantages offered by tho Mis souri Pacific Railwat, which, on ac count of its various routes and gateways, has been appropriately named "The World's Fair Route." Passengers from the Northwest take the Missouri Paqpic trains from Deli ver or Pueblo, with tho choice of either going direct through Kansas City, or via Wichita, Fort Scott and Pleasant Hill. Two trains daily from Denver and Pu eblo to St, Louis without change, carry ing ail classes of modern equipment, in cluding electric lighted observation par lor cafe dining cars. Ten dailv trains between Kansas Citv and St. Louis. Write, or call on W. C.

Glendale News: There are many mining properties that are close corpora tions, and hence no authentic statement can be secured as to their output : but frequently some officer of these compan ies, when good fortune comes bis way, will givo the news to the public This was the case at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Greenback Com pany at Denver, held a few days 8go, The property is situated on Grave Creek, near Glendn'e, and has been for several years a producer. The stock w held by New York and Colorado peopto. The election of officers resulted as fol low: President, William IL Brcvoort, of New York; vice-president, Ebea Smith, of Denver; and cencral mana ger, Carey W. Thompson, who resides at the mine. The manager reported that all ar rangements had been completed for a much heavier production this year than last, and the mine shows quartz bodies sufficient to carry on the taking out of ore for several years to come. The mill now has 40 stamps dropping on high- grade material, and is paying dividends of (30,000 per month. The expense of running is about $10,000 per month, making the output a value of (40,000 per month, or (450,000 per year. This is over one-third of the amount credited by the United States to the state of Ore gon. An Awful Fate. According to reports from Meetetz Wyo , just across the Montana border, two unknown travelers met an awful death there last Wedneeday. The two men were journeying along the trail be tween Meetetz and Gold Reef with sev eral pack horses. The trail is a treacher ous short cut to Gold Reef, and is dan gerous even in summer, winding along the edge of a ravine nearly 3000 feet deep. Tho men are known to have left Meet etz Sunday, and have not been heard of since. S. Riddell made tho journey this week and found unmistakable evidence that the horses had lost their footing on tho icy path and had fallen onto the rocks thousands of feet below. Nothing can be dono toward recovering the bodies at this time owing to tho great depth of snow, and it is feared that wolves and coyotes will devour the bodies before tho snow melts in the spring. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, as they cannot reach tho seat of the diseaso. Catarr is a blood or constitutional diseaso and in. order to cure it you must take intor nal rcmidics. Hall's Catarrh Curo is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Curo is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of tho beat physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. Itis composed of the beet tonics known, 'combined with tho best blood purifiers, acting directly on tho mucous surfaces. Tho perfect combination of tho two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials free. F. J. Ciiksey & Co., Toledo, 0. Sold by all druggists, 75c.

Caroline Cowan, the first white wom an in tho Umpqua Valley, died at Yoncalla January 19, 190-1. Caro line Jones was born March 15, 1822, in Gentry County, Missouri, and was married Soptembor 12, 1844, to Rob ert Cowan. She lived in Liberty Mo., until May 1, 1847, when with her husband and two little daughters she started to Oregon. They crossed tho plains with a company of emi grants, led by a Captian Peterson, ar riving at Salem in September 18-17. In 1848 they moved to tho Umpqua and settled on tho Cowan homestead, where for some months Mrs. Cowan )W the only white woman in the Umpqua Valley. Captain Levi Scott and his two sons, John and William, lived near. They, with Mr. Cowan's family, comprised the entire white population of the valley at that time In the Spring of i849 Jesse Apple gate took his homestead in Yoncalla Valley, near by, his brothers, Charles ana Ltndslay, soon following. Then j came other pioneer families, the Wfl-! sons, Longs, Ambroses and Smiths, and settled on adjoining farms. On i April 19, 1S49, J. L. Cowan was born the nrst white cnild in the Ump qua Valley. Mrs. Cowan was the mother of 12 children, nine of whom are living. In March 1SG5, Mr. Cowan, while at work in the woods, was killed by a falling tree. Mrs. Cowan left with a family of small children, showed the strength of her character. With an usual business ability she manaired o the homestead and raised her large family, keeping their home for then free from debt or mortgage. In 1S91 she rented her farm and built her a cottage in Yoncalla vil lage, where she lived, honored bv all and loved and cared for by her child ren. Hers was a well-rounded and successful life, extending beyond the four-score years so few reach. She has fought the fight, she has finished her work, now she refits by her hus band's side on a lovely knoll overlook ing her old home and the valley be low. Oakland Wants Electric Lichts. Daring the post week there has been some discussion between the raeutHare of the City Council of Oakland, and Fred J. BSekeh-, concerning t!e lighting of Oakland by electricity from the plant at Winchester. Mr. Blakely was at Oakland Thursday evening and a meet ing of the Council vaa held. Oakland feels the need of lights and is looking toward Itoseburg to supplv them. The distance that would bo wired Iroru Win chester to the city is about twelve miles. An estimate of the cost of lighting is now being prepared and will be sub mitted to the Oakland Council. Drain Nonpareils. Tho first blast of the steam whistle of the saw mill was heard last Wednesday and ita loud, piercing notes woko up the natives for miles around. They came in from all directions some even from Drain and Yoncalla and appeared quite excited, or as if awakened from a partly finished winter's nap. Ono caught sight of the steam gauge connected with the two boilers and set his watch at five minutes to 12, while others asked a thousand questions more or less. The first lumber cut at the mill will be used for flooring and the completion of the second story of that structure, and then work will follow on the timbers and 1 planking for the six-mile flume to Drain. About one million feet of lumber will bo used in building tho flume, but as tim ber is near at hand, and the mill will cut over 50,000 feet per day, tho flume not such a very gigantic propo sition after all. All the workmen who can bo profitably utilized will bo employed and work will be pushed from the start. Then will como the planinc mill, and tho putting in of the other machinery at Drain, work upon which will be commenced as soon as lumber can be gotten there. Kcllohervillo Cor. Capt. and Mra. Boswcll havo gone to Southern California to visit Mrs. Bos- well's relatives. They expect to return about April 1st. S300 Reword! I will pay $300 reward for tho recovery of A. N.

Tho orchard has beon neglect ed for tho past few years and will tako considerable work to get it in ehapo. Last fall A. K. Smith sheared a' 27 pound fleece from his thoroughbred Rauiboulatto ram. The fleece weighs SO pounds, having absorbed three pounds of moisture, but Mr. Smith is positive 30 pounds of wool can bo takon from this woolly wonder if sheared close. Miss Bessie Powell is now a teacher in an East Portland public school. Her former position in th's city is filled by Mrs. J. W. Stockton. Both ladies are excellent teachers. Many Oakland friends regret Mies Powell's departure and hope she will be equally successful in a new educational field. Mr. and Mis. Fred Fortin, senior, ar rived from Roseburg Wednesday morn ing, and after visitinj; Oakland friends until yesterday, went' to Coles Valley where they will reside on tho farm, after an absence of several months in Cali fornia and Roeeburg. Perfect Confidence. Where there used to be, a feeling of uneasiness and worry in the household when a child shoive-: yn... oms of 4 roup there is now perfci t coiiljdnce. This is owing to tho uniform success of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy in the treat ment of that disease. Mrs. M. I. Bat- ford of 1'oolMvlIIe, Md., in speaking of ' her experience in the nse of tliat rem- j dysays: "I have a word of confidence!

Quite often the liver is the first organ which becomes disordered, and constipation, biliousness, 6ick headache and general physical tor por make life miserable. There's only one way to deal with liver trouble" and that is to go to the root o the disease, and cure it ouce for all. Such cures of the disordered or diseased liver almost always follow the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It always helps. It almost always cures. It reg ulates the liver, strengthens the stomach, and purifies the blood. "Dr. ttercc' Golden Medical Discovery I the best tnedidne mailc," writes Michael Maher, of mtlcfulls, N. V.
