THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY "EVENING, APRIL 15, 1903. nil mm : LlUt MED Residents of Montavilla Have Meeting Permanent Organization Is Effected With 65 Charter Members - Officers Elected. A large number of residents of Monta- Jlla gathered in Aylsworth Hall, on the Lie Line Road laHt evening to protest against the further operations of the two saloons In that section or the county. The meeting was caned to order by Rev. Andrew Monroe, pastor of the Montavilla. Methodist Church. Mr. Mon roe In a few brief remark told of the object of the gathering, and said that there was one saloon now running In the Villa without the proper license, while the other was operating under a paper which he claimed had been ob tained by fraud. Rev. Monroe then called for nomlna tlons for temporary officers of the meet ing and. by acclamation. W. Q. Smith was selected as chairman, and U. R, Funk, as secretary. Batter Makes Bemarka. IX W. Butler was the first speaker the evening and made some very AEjng remarks about the conditions vailing around saloons in general. r. Butler said that the ngnt againax he liquor resorts could never be won by those who were content to sit In the background and pat each other on the back. "If you Intend to win this fights said Mr. Butler, "you must go In and work." Throughout the speech tne talker was frequently applauded, and when he said that he would right both of the saloons until they had closed their doors the applause was deafening. Mr. Butler said that he had signed sev eral petitions for saloon licenses in the Villa, but he did so because it was a matter of business and not because he thought It was right. Aocordlng to the speaker, the petition of Captain Schnei der for a license contained 184 names, S3 of which, he said, were not legal. Speeches were made during the even ing by Rev. Andrew Monroe, E. M. Burden, Rev. George II. Learn and E. y. McDanlels. The speeches were all In the Bume strain and told about saloon conditions and the advisability of form ing the proposed Anti-Saloon League In Montavilla. Representatives of both of the saloons against whom the fight is being waged were in attendance. A temporary organization of the Antl Buloon League was formed with 65 names on the roll. The temporary chair man was then elected as permanent president, and the secretary. O. R. Funk, was given the same position In the permanent organization. F. A. Vv'lllard was elected treasurer. A committee of five. J. N. Hartley, A. B. Slsley. E. M. Burden. V. C. Ayls worth and D. V. Butler, was selected by the chairman as a by-law and con stitution committee. The next meeting of the league will be held Tuesday evening, April 28, one night before the case of Captain Schnei der comes up for consideration In the county court. For that evening a com mlttee of nine whs appointed by Presl dent Smith for the purpose of prepar lug a suitable literary and musical pro gram for the evening. At the meeting last night over a hundred of the residents of the Villa were in attendance and the promoters oi the organizatlgn expect to have double that number at the next meeting. JIM ROLAN'S-TALES Th popular "Jim" Nolan of Reading Is a great story teller, and ha an In exhaustible fund from which he draw to Illustrate every case In , point. On being questioned one day4a fall wheth er he Intended to accept the Democratic nomination for secretary of internal af fairs, he replied with the following: "There was a prominent clttaen in one of our up-state counties who was asked to run for Congress for the minority party of his district. He asked the ad vice of jmi old political friend, who said. Don't do It. You have reached a time of life when your ease is of great value to you. Hitherto you have had a spot less reputation, which will be assailed bitterly If yotf consent to run for this office, which you cannot be elected to anyhow. You have nothing to gain. Better enjoy your latter days in the comfort your fortune allows and leave politics alone.' '"But what can they say about my reputation V protested the embryo states man. "Well, for Instance.' replied his ad viser, 'they'll say you are dishonest.' "Undeterred by this sound advice, the respected citizen did run and was badly beaten. Some time after he met his political adviser, who, wishing to run It in on him, said: '"Well, didn't I tell you you would be beaten? "Yes.' quietly answered his friend.' " 'And didn't they try to blacken your reputation? " 'I should say so,' returned the de feated candidate for Congressional hon ors, beginning to get warm under some of his campaign recollections. " "Did they say you were dishonest? continued the interlocutor. " "Did they say I was dishonest? hotly replied the ex-would-be statesman. Why, hang It all, they proved it.' " o Offense, On a train near Sioux City the other day two well-dressed, ardent lovers, evidently a newly-married couple. amused the other paasengers with their cooing. After awhile the fair young brideOleaned back in her chair and fell asleep. Her companion took advan tage of the lull and went Into the smoker to enjoy a clgnr. While he was gone a long, lean, lank, grizzly spec! men of humanity came in and sat down in the vacant chair beside the sleeping beauty. Presently the young woman, half aslaep. turned and laid her head lovlngly'dn the shoulder of the stranger, and put her plump arm around his neck. The green, gawky stranger seemed a trifle surprised at this unexpected familiarity. . but he made no desperate effort to, escape. He merely looked around at the convulsed passengers and grinned. The hilarity awoke the young woman, and opening her blue eyes, she saw her mistake. With flushed cheeks she stammered an apology. "You needn't 'pologize to me," drawled the stranger, "I don't care." t (If TOPIC Traffic Agents WiU Dis cuss It Here. TWO GIRLS LURED AWAY FROM HOME Shocking Case Comes to Light in Seattle. res fro fes SEATTLE, April 15. A shocking case has just been brought to light here, In which a girl-wife, but 18 years old, and her sister, who is only 16, are the victims. The girls were rescued from a tenderloin dance hall where the hus band of the eldest had placed them that he might live off their earnings. The man's name Is Sam Henderson. For the next 0 days he will be compelled- to work In the chain gang. The judge 'who sentenced him declared his regtgnt that the law did not permit of the imposition of a longer or more se vere sentence. Mrs. Henderson and her sister were, until a few weeks ago, country girls living with their father and mother on a farm near Whatcom. -Henderson mar ried the elder girl and brought both to Scuttle. Once In this city he persuaded the younger girl to go to work In the IVmluue Theater and dance hall, one the most notorious resorts in the re- trlcted district. His own wife he placed In the same resort with her younger sister. It was from this place that the girls r.were rescued by the police. They are now in charge, of the police matron and will be sent to their country home as soon as their parents can be Communicated with. Fought Like a Turk. A Philadelphia gentleman traveling n the East spent some time In Con stantinople, where the following inci dent occurred: One day, while strolling about the narrow streets of Stamboul, he saw a Turk sitting cross-legged before the entrance of a mosque, at prayer. While watching him. an English sailor, rather the worse for wear, approached and brushed up against the Turk: but The man with the red fez still continued his prayers. Again the sailor Jostled him, but still the Turk continued his med iations. Finally, the sailor repeated his action for the third time. The Turk lowly arose and. looking sternly at the illor, said: "You have Insulted me nd must nght; choose your weapons," Fists," said the sailor, and at It they went. In the space of two minutes the sailor was hors de combat, with a pair of black eyes and a swollen Jaw. ''My friend," said the Turk, calmly, "next time you insult a Turk be sure ho Is not an Irishman from Cork!" A Kansas letter. Here is a letter that was received a few days ago by a prominent firm of bicycle dealers: "Deer Surs. I live on my farm near Hamilton Kansas and am 67 years old and a little sporta. My neffew in In diana bot hisself a new blssikle. and sent me nis oia one dv rrate, and I've learned to ride sum. Its a pile of fun, but my blssikle jolts considerably. feler com along yestiddy with a blssl kle that had holler Injun rubber tires stuffed with wind. He let me try his Ben and ml, it runs like a kushen. H told me you sell Injun rubber Just the same as hissen. Mine Is all Iron wheels. Do you punch the holler hole through the injun rubber, or will I have to do It myself? How do you stick the ends together after you get it done? If you Injun rubber Is already holler will come any cheaper empty? I can get all the wind I want out here In Kansas free." Can Roads Reach an Agreement Regarding the Provisions oi That Measure. If trie meeting of traffic agents, which is to begin In this city next week, results in a general agreement with regard to the El kins law, it will have accomplished Its object. This U the prevailing opin ion among railroad men In I'ortlund, no two of whom have the same opinion of what the act really means, and what it provides and prohibits. As this will be the first meeting of the association since the law went Into effect, It Is believed it will fprm the principal topic of dis cusslon and comment. Meetings of the association are held every 90 days, and the one to be held In Portland next week Is a regular gather ing. The four meetings each year are distributed through the territory em braced by the association, one being held in the Middle West, another in the East, one in the South and one on the Pacific Coast. California points are usually se lected as the meeting place for the traf fic agents on this coast, but in this in stance Portland has the plum. The last meeting was at San Antonio, Tex. Those things which are to be brought before the agents must be given due no tice to the chairman, who formulates a regular docket, similar to those employed in courts. In this Is enumerated each topic to be touched upon, the day set apart for it being Indicated. Subjects not brought to the attention of; the chairman may not be discussed. 1 nothing- About Portland. "There is no particularly Important subject of local significance." said Gen eral Passenger Agent W. E. Coman of the Southern Pacific's Oregon lines, "and I think the most of the time will be put In In trying to reach an agreement re garding the Elkins law. As It stands now, no two roads appear to Interpret It alike, and If the coming meeting can be made to result In an understanding along this Iltrc'lt will be of the utmost impor tance, not only to railroad men, but to the general public as well, for the peo ple are as much at sea concerning the workings of the law as are railroad employes and traffic agents." Representatives of all railroads oper ating in the Middle West and West will be in attendance at the coming session, and railroad men not members of the association will be present for the pur pose of taking pointers and gathering information.

"If my memory serves me correctly. said Tillman, "it comes from two Latin words meaning to cultivate a field" adding with a sneer, "I hope that will satisfy the young wasp from the Wa bash" "Then the Senator will admit."

John McKeown. a business man ami uromlnent Keuubllcan leader in Phil adelphia, who was for m yt-Mi-s Chief Clerk .ut the House of Representa tives, Harrlsburg, was ut death's duor with kidney disease. Read what he says about Ills complete ,n.- i wo years ago 1 was m-izi-u with sharp pains which shot up my back like a knife. They continued and I was obliged to stoD work for a few weeks. Then I was stricken With weak spells, and on one occasion I felt almost sure that I was going to die. An eminent physician informed me that my kidneys were In a very serious condition, and If I should oermlt the disease to continue without receiving the proper treatment It would be but a short time when I would die. I went under his treatment, and Instead of tjelng cured I grew worse, and rheumatism set in and I was obliged to go to bed. where I remained for six weeks, and at the end of that time I was as bad as the dav I lay down. A friend of the family, who was past 75 years, suggested Warner's Safe Cure as the only sure remedy that would cure mv disease. He told me he was a sufferer from kidney and bladder troubles for fourteen years, and that "Safe Cure" was the only medicine that cured lilm and made him feel as spry as a youin again, lie was so certain it would cure me that 1 decided to give It a trial, although my nurse told me that no medicines of that kind were good. When I had finished the first bottle the results were so great that I told the doctor I did not think It necessary for him to call any more. When I had finished the second bottle all the pains about my kidneys disappeared and I was able to leave my bed. After tskint? five bottles of this wonderful cure I was entirely well and my health Improved so rapidly that in two weeks -I had gained 26 pounds and iny friends hardly knew me. Warner's Safe Cure is without a doubt the best medicine that was ever manufactured, for It not only cured me, after two physicians failed, but it has also cured several of my friends.
