Oregon City. Nov. 7. The discovery
mat a warrant indebtedness of 1144.000
existed In Clackamas county Instead of
liu.ooo, has been the theme of much
comment. When John J. Cooke made
His last race for sheriff" on the Demo
cratlc ticket he declared in every pre
cinct in tne county that the indebted
ness or the county would reach near
J 50.000 Instead of f 100.000. as was then
believed, and this was one of his stronar
factors In the campaign. He was hooted
at by the opposition, however, who da
clared that he knew nothing about it.
i now develops that he was better In
formed than the whole crowd who were
seeking to force their way into office
n connection with his semi-annual re
port the county clerk has issued the
following letter to the publio:
Aa Bxplanatloa.
Tn presenting thla summary of actual
nd true conditions, financially of tho
county. I desire to set before the nub-
ic what appears to me to be the rea
sons why such a discrepancy exists In
the slstement herewith submitted and
hose that have previously been Issued
from this office, for, while during the
Ix months ending September 30, 1903.
the expenditures have been much less
than for any preceding six months, the
warrant indebtedness being reduced
some 118.000 with the interest due on
same, the true net indebtedness is much
greater than was set out in previous re
ports. This has arisen from some cleri
cal errors heretofore made, where credit
was given for warrants canceled, which
were already accounted for, but is due
more especially from the methods pur
sued for years in this office of taking
account of balances of warrants out
standing, as returned and set out in the
report of the county officers as a correct
basis from which to work. In place of
making an actual and complete compila
tion of the warrants outstanding and
amounts due on same, which before
making this report has been done by
considerable time and labor, in both the
office of the county treasurer and county
clerk, thereby arriving at a true and
correct sum of the net indebtedness of
the county.
The habit or practice of submitting
the amounts of warrants redeemed. In
cluding Interest paid on same without
segregating and setting out the amount
of interest paid, has led to giving credit
to warrants redeemed to the full amount
and therefore .been the cause of under
estimating the amount of outstanding
warrants.
In the future, or during my continu
ance in this office, this misleading prac
tice will be cut out and methods more
easily understood adopted.
Respectfully submitted.

EUQENB
COUNTY REFUSES TO
PAY FOR A SEWER
Journal Special Service.)
Eugene, Or., Nov. 7. The county
commissioners' court at today session
tefused to pay to the city the amount
assessed against the c6unty for the new
sewer recently constructed alongside ths
court house and the county parka. The
amount of the county's assessment is
1 111.38.
The reason given by the court for
this action is that the county has no
use for the new sewer and that it does
not benefit the county In the lesst. Th
court house, the county Jail and the
county rest cottage were previously con
nected with another sewer. All 'these
connections are permanent, and the court
cannot see that the- county will ever
have occasion to use the new sewer,
It is ssid that the city may now
sue the county to force the payment of
Its assessment, but City Attorney Wll
Hams, who Is busy with other cases in
he clrcnlt oourt, which .is now in ses
sion- here, has not yet had time to de
vote any attention to the case. Other
city officials have expressed themselves
as being In favor of suing the county.
To Sleet a lieutenant.
MaJ. Ueorge O. Yoran of the First
separate battalion, O. N. G., h;s issued
an order for the election of a first
lieutenant for company C of this city,
to take place at the armory In Eugene
on Monday night, November 9. This
election is to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Lieut. J. A. Currie,
who has moved to Coos county. Lieut.
Currie was one of tho best officers in
the Oregon National Guard and is
missed very much In local military cir
cles. Capt. Creed C. ,Hammond of com
pany A of this city has been detailed as
inspector of the election.
Beats for lTtw Theatre.
The seats for Eugene's new theatre
will arrive in a few days and the open

time to time on account of the non-
rrlval of the seats, will be announced
hortly. The seats are now In Portland
nd they will be shipped on up the line

Some weeks ago James Coyn disap
peared from the Damascus neighbor
hood in a mysterious manner. Coyn
worked for a farmer at Damascus and
when he did the disappearing act about
130 in coin, which was in the farmer s
trunk, disappeared with Coyn. The dls
appearance of coin and Coyn led the
farmer to believe that there was some
connection between the two, and he has
since been on tho lookout for both his
coin and Coyn. Last week Coyn was lo
eated In Roseburg, and this week Con
stable Moody went to Roseburg after
him. .He returned yesterday, bringing
Coyn with him. Coyn Is locked up in
the county Jail awaiting trial for lar
ceny. The coin Is still missing.

( THIRD TRIAL PROVES
" AN OLD ADAGE
IMPORTANT nSZOKT BATE CASS.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 7. Grain ship
pers and others In the Northwest are
awaiting with considerable Interest a de
cision in the case of the Cannon Falls
Elevator company against the Great
Western and Milwaukee roads, which
came up for hearing here today before
the interstate commerce commission. It
Is alleged in the complaint that the pres
ent grain rates from Cannon Falls to
market points are unequal. While the
rate on grain. It is alleged, is but IB
cents from Cannon Falls to Chicago, and
7 cents from Cannon Falls to Minneapo
lis, the through, rate from Minneapolis
to Chicago, a longer haul, are but 7 V4
cents. The complaint cites rye an an
example and alleges that because of the
rate to Chicago it is unable to get a foot
hold en the Louisville market, which
takes an immense quantity of rye an
nually, and would be glad to have South
ern Minnesota grain if it could be put
down there on an even basis with that
which takes the through rate.
There Is nothing like perseverance,
believes Deputy District i Attorney
Adams who has thrice prosecuted Harry
Davis for assault and battery. At ths
third trlaVJesterday Davis was found
guilty, auhough the first two Juries
failed to agree. The Jury yesterday took
10 minutes to convict the young man.
The contending parties live at Terry
postofflce. A month ago John Bliss had
his right arm broken by a bottle thrown
by Davis In the letter's store. Bliss
said the assault waa unprovoked, but
Davis testified that h-thought Bliss in
tended to use a knife on him.' Justice
Reld will Impose sentence Monday.

No drugs are given one disease Is not created in the vain attempt to cure
another. Her system that of common sense, discovered througn modern
research. Less thkn two months' practice in Portland, and already has a
clientele greater than that of many of the oldest practitioners.
Dr. N. J. Fulton is a woman of purest character, lofty motives, schol
arly attainments and force of character, that knows no surrender. There
is NO DISEASE TO WHICH FLESH IS HEIR to which her methods
of treatment are not applicable, and if the ' downcast feeble, despondent
reader will take his or her case to this physician, the result will be so astounding that rejoicing will be found
where there were tears and pains and sorrow before the call. Her knowledge and skill in curing disease without
the use of nauseous, as well as dangerous drugs, was acquired after years of careful study and training under the
most distinguished naturopathic educators, and her success has been so phenomenal as to almost pass the realm
of credibility. Here in Portland she took one young woman upon whom the penalty of a surgical operation had
been pronounced, which would have forever robbed, her of her womanhood, restored her'to perfect health without,
a taste of medicine or the touch of knife. Another was taken home from a hospital to die. The lady la In perfect
health today, after treatment of about three weeks. Similar instances of seemingly miraculous cures In Port
land are plentiful, and by permission the patients may be seen and conversed with by all afflicted and Interested
ones. Before coming to Portland, in a smaller field, her success was equally wonderful, some, of her patients
testifying as follows, to her skill: . . . ,- , . u

of growth and four surgical opera

by one physician until he said he

lng he would -kill me. Now I am
as well as I ever was, and that

use of surgeryr I rejoice In my
heart that I found Dr. Fulton. I
have no language capable of ex
pressing my gratitude to her.
