THE SHOOTING OF HENEY.
The startling intelligence from San
Francisco, last evening,','of the shoot
ing of Francis J. Heney, the greaU
federal prosecutor, in open court,
was received here with varying ex
pression, and all of it sincere, what
ever the trend.
There are those here, as every
where, who detest the very name of
this nan, as well as those who com
mend and endorse him, the antago
nistic element probably preponderat
ing throughout city and county; the
vast proportion of the hatred finding
its source and stamina in sheer
politics. His . work has ' been so
closely interwoven with the political
policies and people of the State of
Oregon, aome of whom were served
by his labors and others defeated
and undone thereby, that it is a dif
ficult matter to determine the
scope and bearing of popular feeling j
t this moment . But, speaking from
the standpoint of civic righteousness,
Mr. Heney has done an herculean
and hateful task with extraordinary
ability, fortitude and courage. He
has advanced the cause of good gov
ernment immeasurably, not only
here in Oregon, but everywhere his
order were cut out for htm; and
that he did it all with the sanction
and aid of the national government , city due to disease, infectious, and
itself, leaves him free of the re- j otherwise, at 90 exactly; of this nura

You can eat anything your Stom

your food will ferment or sour on
your stomach if you will take Dia

Your meals will taste good, and
anything you eat will be digested;
nothing can ferment or turn into

causes Belching, Dizziness, a feeling
