Mrs. R&chael McDonald, the missing
sister of Mrs.' Mary Jane. Cook, 'who
died last Sunday afternoon at S Vin
cent's Sanatorium, appeared yesterday
to claim the estate left her by her sister.
For some days he had bee- "onfined to
her rooms near Sixth and C. ..eh streets,
in this city, by sickness. She happened
yesterday to hear Of her inheritance.
She immediately repaired to the home
of Mrs. Angersteln, 164 East Twenty
seventh street, where Mrs. Cook for
merly lived. , She was almost pros
trated by the news of her sister's death
and her physical condition is still very
unsatisfactory. Her : condition Is such
that visitors are not allowed to see hei.
It 7 was Mr. McDonald's intention to
have visited her sister some time ago,
but her own Illness prevented, v : . .
Mrs. McDonald, has been ill for some
time at her rooms near Sixth and Couch
streets.: - .; :
She resembled her sister In that- she
led almost a hermit's life. She did not.
however, have her windows and doors
barred,' as did Mrs. Cook, at her resi
dence on East Eighth and East Oak
streets. -.-v.-. -..,:-t
Mrs. Cook lived in Portland for thd
last 80 years but she was little known;
Several yea rs ago she was an attendant
at the old East Portland asylum, which,
stood near Belmont and East Twelfth
streets. In the Hawthorne Park tract
From . her savings she purchased the
residence on East Oakland East Eighth
streets wfiere she resided until about one
and a half years ago when she went to
the home of Mrs. M. Angersteln at 164
East Twenty-seventh street (to live.
Mrs. Cook was suspicious of strangers
and had her doors and windows strongly
barred. ' When any one was heard ap
proaching she would call to them to be
gone. 8he was twice married, first to
a seaman named Cook a'nd the second
time to an Indian scout named McKay.
The second marriage was unhappy and
she and McKay soon separated. So dis
tasteful was this marriage that she re
sumed the name of Cook. . , .
WINTER GARDEN IN ;

The Winter Garden Is now in th
hands of a new manager, Benjamin F,
Shambrook. The place was attached by
the Uambrinut Brewing company and
by the Fleckenstein-Maycr : company,
for failure to pay bills. Deputy Sheriff
Snyder, who served the writs, did- not
close the resort, but stayed there until
a settlement had been arranged. Henry
8., better known as Flukey Barnett, and
J. P. Kennedy, who conducted the re

Nlckum for the removal 6t J. M.
Ntckum as administrator of the estate
of Susannah Nlckum, began this morn
ing in the state circuit court before
Judge Sears. . County Judge Webster
ordered the administrator! removed, and
the present hearing is on appeal. ' It is
alleged that Nlckum failed to account
for $7,000 of tb estate, consisting of
national bank certificates placed In Ladd

everr fifth year thereafter. Section 4
of 8. B No. 192, passed at the regular
session of the legislature In 1903, pro
vides as follows: o ' " , '
"Section 4: In order to ascertain the
proportion of such taxes to be paid by
the several counties, said state officers
shall ascertain from the report ot ex
penditures of the several counties, on
file In the office of the secretary of
state, the average amount of expendi
tures in each county during the period
of five years; and eachxounty shall pay
such proportion of said state taxes as
its average amount of expenditure for
said period bears to the total amount
of expenditure In all of the counties
of the state.", h' - vVv
By this it will be seen that the greater
the expenditures are now for the county
government, the greater the state taxes
in the future. And county courts can
reTTBfe the future state taxes by econ
omy in the affairs of their respective
counties. : ' ' ?

a Grand Army veteran, was refused

he was unable to do hard work. It 1b
also alleged that other Grand Army
men have been refused permission to

ing that he could not do so in the ab
sence of County Judge Wester, head of
the board. :
A delegation of Grand Army men of
which William Swan was spokseman,
presented the complaint this morning.
Mr. Swan said , that Courtney forced
Stanley, who is about 65 years old, to
saw wood for three hours, and then
set him to work peeling potatoes. After

Stanley saw wood again, wnen Stanley
said be could not, ordered him to leave
the farm. .
, 'The trouble with many Grand Army
men,; said Courtney, "is that they think
they ' should do nothing because they
were in the war. I am a member of
the Grand Army myself. Stanley would
not saw wood and quit peeling potatoes
after working 30 minutes. I sent him
to the laundry to work and he did noth

him to taks the road."

It is the general Impression today that
the majority of the city council will in
sist upon two steel bridges across Sul
livan's gulch at Grand and Union ave
nues, despite the action of the east aide
residents last night in declaring for
wooden structures. A number of the
councilman attended . the meeting and
they aay that tha session was composed
of strictly the large property owners,
and that the vast majority of interested
people, those owning from one to three
lots, who are in favor of the ateel
bridges, were not present.
Following the meeting R. R. Dunlway,
who . had been elected secretary, drew
up a communication addressed to th
city council, stating briefly the reso
lutions that were passed for wooden
structures and asking the repeal of the
existing ordinances calling for steel
bridges. There was an extended dis
cussion, and but two or three? voices
were raised for the steel bridges. The
majority of those present Insisted that
the. cost would be excessive, especially
If assessed upon the particular district
as proposed, and that woodehDridges
were all that was needed. , :
"No, sir; I still dhere to my former
opinionthat steel bridges are the only
proper solution of successfully con
structing a passageway for traffic across
this gulch," explained President Zim
merman, of the city council today. "I
attended the meeting last night and 1
heard no arguments that would cause
me to change my mind.' I will vote
first, last and always for the steel
bridges, and believe that a majority of
the councllmen, ""possibly all of-them;
will do likewise. The meeting repre
sented the big property owners, the
ones who would be hit hardest by an
assessment, and I venture to say that
a big majority of the home ' owners,
the people with one or two lots, are
more than willing to pay for a steel
bridge." -:-- v.; . - . -v v
Councilman Sharkey was also present,
and he voiced the same opinions pub
licly In a speech to thosa present He
contended that tha bridges shtfwd be of
steel, and that nothing cheaper -would
answer. Wooden structures he de
scribed as a makeshift, .. :
Tha result of this controversy, up to
date, seems to point to a determination
Upon the part of the council to Insist
upon, the steel bridges, and an equally
determined fight for wooden bridges by
the large property owners. Tha major
ity of the taxpayers, the people owning
their own homes, have hot beqn heard
from, except In -isolated instances, and
the councilman say that they generally
favor steel bridges. , ,
Among those favoring wooden bridges
and who , argued their 1 views at some
length were E. O. Hughes, Herman Wit
tenberg. D. H. Winter, Ralph R. Dunnl
way, C. N. Rankin, Joseph Paquet, W.
H. Markell and F. R. Neala. Concllmen
Sharkey and ,Flegel were present and
spoke for the steel bridges. Mrs. L. C.
Olds could not be present, but she sent
a letter, which was read and which pro
tested against wooden elevated road
ways. "They are not credit to the
city," she explained.
CLOCKS DID NOT
. SHOW RIGHT TIME
The people who have been setting
their watches by Western Union time
during the last few days have probably
been following a, false prophet, for on
one circuit of 63 clocks the time indi
cated was about a minute and a half
slow. William Dumara, local manager
for tha Western-Union, said today: . ,
"The trouble was due to weakened
batteries. If a clock loses mora than
46 seconds It does not ring when tha
hour is reached, and that gives a warn
ing to the man who has that particular
clock to notify us. In tha present case
tha batteries on our big circuit of 6 J
clocks weakened yesterday, and after
receiving several complaints and trying
to localize the' trouble ,,we found that
the dry batterlea had so deteriorated
that they did not furnish sufficient cUiy
rent for tha clocks. We have new bat
teries In, and there will be no further
trouble. The circuit that operates , tha
clocks also rune tha 'answer back', of the
A D. T. boxes, and aa much more cur
rent Is needed to run this than the
clocks, we are generally safe In sup
posing that the clocks are. all right If
the boxes O, K. promptly, j
"If all the people that had our clocks
were like the poolrooms, we would not
have any trouble. Any tlm a poolroom
clock does not ring we are Informed Im
mediately, for time costs money in fig
uring on the races," I V- . f i '
A difference of a minute and a half
might - make or lose .several, fortunes
when the race returns, are befog played,

before bets were closed. ( '

' You cannot force your stomach to do
work that it Is unable and unwilling to
do. It. has been, tried "time and time
again with always the same result The
stomach is a good and faithful servant;
but when pushed beyond the limit it
rebels. Some stomachs will stand much
more abuse than others, but every stom
ach has Its limit; and when that limit
la reached, it is a very dangerous and
unwise proceeding to attempt to. force
It into doing further work.. The sensi
ble and reasonable course' is to employ
a substitute to carry on the work of
digestion and give the stomach an op
portunity to recuperate and regain lta
lost strength, ' ; 4 .' .W "
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are - the
only perfect substitute to take up and
carry on the work of tired, worn-out
stomachs. They are natural and easy
in their work and cause no disturbance
in the digestive organs. , They contain
all of the essential elements that make
up the gastric juice and other digestive '
fluids and will digest any food that a
strong, healthy stomach will, and do It
Ih the same time and in the same way.
They work independently of surrounding
conditions, and the fact that the stomach
Is weak or diseased does not Influence
them at all In their useful and effective
work. They Will digest food just as
well in a glass jar or bottle a they will
in a stomach. You can see that or
yourself by putting one of them Into a '
jar with a square meal and some water
to enable It to work. t '
' Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus
relieving the stomach of Its work, en
ables that organ to rest and recuperate
and regain its health and strength. The
