Traces at Woodburn

(Journal Special Serylce.)
Albany, Or., March 4. Arthur C. Pro
bert, the. absconding manager of the
Dayton, Or., bank was in Albany Wed
nesday evening and left on the mid
night overland for the south. He did
not purchase a ticket at the office, but
: evidently boarded the train and paid his
fare. Probert first appeared at the Ho-f
tel Revere about S o'clock In the after
noon and registered as C. R. Davis, St
Louis, Mo. He did not take a room,
, but paid for his Hupper. Me was very
reticent- and the proprietor, T. C.
Bloomer, was not aware that his guest
was wanted until he recognized his pic
ture in a Portland paper this morning.
It is thought that Probert drove to
, this city from some west . side point,
reaching here late in the afternoon. He
did not carry, baggage of any description
but appeared to have plenty of money.
Mud bespattered, as though he had
pent the night in traveling over the
country roads, a man believed to be
Arthur C. Probert, the missing manager
of tho Dayton, Or bank arrived at
Woodburn. at an early hour Wednesday
morning. Probert was last seen In Day
ton at 11 o'clock Tuesday night George
H. Fltzgtbbon, a traveling agent for
Fisher, Thorsen, & Co. of Portland, an
acquaintance of the missing man. as
serts that he saw Probfert at the Revere
house at Albany Wednesday night and
' that Probert ate dinner there. From
Dayton to Woodburn It is 16 miles by
the' wagon road.. The distance between
Woodburn and Albany by rail is . 45
- miles. ,
The 'safe in the Dayton Savings bank
of which Probert was at the head, is
still closed and the ,. condition of its
contents is still a matter of wide con
jecture and speculation among the de
positors and others. A guard has been
placed on duty at the bank and It is
not known just when the contents of
the safe will be examined. Reports re
ceived by The Journal from Dayton are
to ' the effect that matters are in a
chaotic condition and an agreement can
not be reached between the creditors of
the bank. Warrants have been issued
for the arrest of Probert charging him
with the crime of larceny by bailed and
printed descriptions of the man are be-:

lngr circulated, v Thar reports from relia
ble sources at Woodburn- and : Albany
that Probert has been seen lends 1 a
great many Dayton residents to believe
Probert, to ? be alive and the suicide
theory now has but few supporters. ,
Upon his . arrival in Woodburn
Wednesday morning, the man supposed
to be Probert, .went to a tailoring estab
lishment and had his clothing cleaned.
He gave no name and as soon as be had
Improved his personal appearance de
parted. Whether he took the south
bound .train toward . Albany '- is . not
known;1 . ' 1
John K. Davis,; local manager of the
Diebold Safe company, is of the opinion
that Probert is still alive. "I believe,"
he said, "that Probert and myself are
the only persons' who know the com
bination of the , Dayton , Savings bank
safe. When the depositors agree to ask
for a receiver I expect to receive word
to come and open' the safe. . From what
has been learned of Probert's actions, I
fear what valuables were supposed to
have been deposited in the bank, will be
found missing. . ;
A prominent Dayton citizen terms
Probert - an enigma. "I . do not know
what, to think of the . man.'V he said..
"His past record is against him and
while he made friends in Dayton and
in Portland, for that matter, and ap
peared .to be perfectly fair in bis deal
ings, I believe he is of the Dr. .Jeykll
Mr. Hyde kind and before his disappear
ance showed to us his finer self."

CLOSING OF SALOONS
CAUSES COMMOTION
.. (Journal Special BerTlce.) .
Salem, Or., March 4. The closing of
the saloons on Sunday and the prohibi
tion of gambling of all kinds In . this
city . was . the main subject of conver
sation In ' Salem yesterday . and - last
ntght, and everywhere the anti-gambling
orders'' were strictly observed, although
the belief was general that games would
soon open up In out-of-the-way up
stairs rooms .where, with, a system of,
lookouts,- those who wished could 'still
continue to . woo , the - fickle goddess
luck at 'the green-covered table. Some
of the smaller cigar stores that have
been doing little else than 'gambling for
years, it is thought, will go out of busi
ness unless the edict- of the marshal
is modified, for some of these places
have, not done enough business outside
of that coming through the card tables
to pay expenses. The cigar stores men
tioned In this category have started up
in the past few years. The leading
cigar dealers in this city, George &
Waters and II. Wlprut A Co., are not
affected by the order of the chief of
police, for the reason that ' they have
long ago 1 confined themselves to the
cigar trade and kindred lines exclus
ively, and both of them said last night
that there was no difference in their
business as a result of the order.
In some of the smaller places where
the business was chiefly at the card
tables, there was growling, deep and
fervent In one place a "21" game was
In progress ; when the marshal served
notice on the proprietors that all gam
bling must cease Instantly. A patron
of the house had just cleaned up over
160 when ' the order went into effect,
and the house was unable to recoup
Itself for the loss which. If it had been
allowed to run & little longer, would
have been made good.; This naturally
caused aome growling on the part of
the proprietors. . . -i - '
Last night It was found that one qf
the small cigar stores had sold out
during the day, and one other may
be Closed during the next few days. .
Gamblers In the city believe that the
close-up will be permanent, and some
of them are 'preparing to leave Salem
for other pastures. -
The house of ill-repute mentioned In
this correspondence a few' days ago as
annoying the Hotel Willamette guests
took the hint, and the people in the,
house have moved to . a more secluded
district, wnere there Is less chance of
annoying the public. The Journal was
the only paper that has ever called at
tention to the annoyance caused by
this disreputable place,' and the re
spectable people in 'this city -who suf
fered from this nuisance are duly ap
preciative, -

Salem eentractors are anxiously
awaiting the arrival. from Portland of
F. A. ' Erlxon, superintendent of con'
structlon of the Lewis and Clark expo
sition with a complete set of plans for
the buildings to be erected at that place,
as all of them .are desirous of bidding
on the work. ' There are a number of
contractors here who will make an ef
fort to secure some of the contracts, al
though building operations, while active
here, are not quite as extensive as in
the past few years,
Edwin Stone, manager of the Corval
lls A Eastern railroad,' appeared before
the county commissioners' court yes
terday afternoon with his attorney, Hon.
J. K. Weatherford of Albany, and asked
that the valuation of his r)ad In this
county be reduced from $2,000 to I.1.S00
per mile. The argument made was 'that
the Corvallls ' & Eastern roadbed "was
valued only at $1,600 a mile in other
counties through which the road runs,
and that it was not n valuable as that
of the Southern Pacific, and for this
reason the reduction was asked. The
court took the matter -under advisement.
City Recorder Judah's office at the
city hall Is being renovated and put In

to perform the work.

will be no doubt of his election. Mr.
Myer haa made a record In the assess

all. Another Democratic county official
that stands well , with both parties Is
is. v. Dal ton, the present county treas

SLEEP IS PRICELESS
But XI Can Be Obtained By Simple
Methods;
Are you - a hard , worker? Are you
overcome with fatigue at the end of
each day's labor, and instead of retiring
to bed with a feeling of satisfaction at
the prospect of a night's repose, do you
wait the hour of bedtime with dread and
shrinking?
Is it your unhappy lot to be awakened
every night. Just after you have dropped
off to sleep, by an intense, uncontrolla
ble Itching of the rectum T Do you then
endeavor to relieve the sensation by
scratching so desperately that the skin
becomes raw and lacerated, and ... you
Anally sink Into the sleep of exhaustion?
If so, you do not need to be told that
you are afflicted with itching piles. You
have probably, tried every, remedy you
could hear of, with but temporary relief,
If any, and . have concluded there was
nothing left for you but to drag out a
miserable existence. As a drowning
man grasps at a straw, so should you
eagerly devour the words of W. O. Mil
bury, 70 Pearl St., Reading. Mass.
"I am pleased to state that I bought
one Afty-cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure
at the drug store, and used about one
half of it, and it not only cured me of
Itching piles, but also of constipation, a
trouble of about Afteen years' standing.
I have tried almost everything without
any lasting benefit, but I can honestly
and truthfully state that Pyramid File
Curs has entirely cured me, and I havo
had no .return of that terrible itching,
which used to keep me awake by the
hour, night after night If the old trou
ble should ever return 1 will know just
what to do, but I guess it won't, for it Is
now tlx or seven months alnce I Arst
used this wonderful remedy." .
. We vouch for the authenticity of th
testimonial, and as Mr. Mllbury found
relief and a cure. So you may also. " Do
not delay, but buy a box and try it to
night' and do not allow Any dealer to
sell you "something just as good. Tou
will do well to Write Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich., for their little book on
the causes and cure of piles, which Is
