Mm Lane sentiment la on the increase, ae Cordtns to the straw votes belus; taken on cars. In restaurants and other place where men congregate during brief In terval! between business hours. . Yea ; terday a prominent business man, while i eating" lunch with - two companions, , raiaed the political queatlon of the day. iUpon putting the matter to a vote it waa found that all three at hie table were Lane supporter. The next table ; waa polled and the four men at the table caat a solid vote for the preaent , mayor Three other tables were polled, .with the result that out of the 11 men eating at them eight were back of the Lane movement with their votes. All of the seven men at the first two ta- blea were Republloans, but it is not known what the political affiliations or tne other voters were. ' A. mining man of the. city, who whooped it up for Roosevelt at the last election, tells the story of a straw vote taken In a down-town oafs y eater- day, with a friend he went Into the place," and while there the lasues of the J city campaign were taken up by ii men .', who had happened Into the place at the same time, yew of the men ' were rn to each other, and no record was aade of the political affiliations of the gathering, but the straw vote gave 10 ballots to Dr. lne and two to Mr, Devlin. Reports of other oanvaaaea made an point the same way,' and while It is expected on all sides that the oon test will be close, it is shown by the indications amonn the down-town dubi ness and profeaalonal men that the present mayor has the sentiment of the great maas or tne repreaentauve voters of ue city wun nun. e e T should ludge that Mayor Lane will be reelected by a vote at the rate of three out or five," said a weu-known barber this morning. "Just to satisfy my own curiosity," he continued, "I have carefully eanvaesed my cuatomers, men from all walka In life, and find that fully three out of five are determined to caat their ballots for Lane. "It would surprise you to hear the reasons they give for having so con cluded. For instance, men I know to be confirmed nlckel-In-the-slot fiends tell me they will vote for Lane simply because he, was Instrumental in having the money-devouring devices banished from the cigar store counters. Now one would think these fellows would be inclined to vote against an administra tion that deprived them of what they termed a pastime. But not so. These men confees that the nickel machine was a curse, whose tempting grasp bad gotten so strong a hold apon them that they were simply at its mercy. Many frankly admit that the habit of pump ing slugs Into the slot would have led to ruin. They don't want the ma chines brought forth again, and so will vote for a continuation of th present administration. "Many other reasons are given, but this nlckel-ln-the-elot propoaition Is one that has impreased me more than any I have heard ror some time. These fellows are in earnest They have de cided to vote for their own salvation,' e . ., . AKepublican. who has been making a caavas of the eaat side in an effort to determine how the vote will go for the mayorailty candidate, said yea terday that the vote acroas the river would be spilt almost evenly between Lane and Devlin with the probability that Lane would receive a slight majority. This man refused to allow his name to be uaed, but stated that as near as he could learn the change of heart among o many Republicans in favor of Lane waa due to the good record of the city's executive and to the fact that voters were against Devlin because of the allegations made In regard to his al liance with the saloon element This was strengthened, said the Re publican, by . the fact that many sa loon keepers, who have heretofore been strong Democrats, have aligned, them selves with the Devlin crowd. Many of these men have oome out flat-footed for Devlin and have been urging their friends and patrons to vote for the auditor." This man believes that women will play an Important factor in the city election because of the war raging around the "saloon element Mothers and wives, he said, have been conduct Ins a campaign for Mayor Xane by the ourtaln-leoture and heart-to-heart meth ods with husbands and sons, which Is expected" to swing many votes, , , "Lane bss an Immortal cinch on pre cinots IS. 14 and 6." remarked a welt known South Portland Republican pol itician. V'aud I firmly believe .that the will carry the entire south end of -the city, from Grant street, soutn, Dy a heavy majority. I have been told by old line Republloans, who have never before scratched the head or tne ticaet, that they couldn't stand for tne norm end, corporation candidate and were go inar to vote for Lane." - The same cltlien made a canvas of six South Portland blocks in the vicinity of bis resldenoe and found but two Dev lln Republicans out of a total of be tween IS and 10 registered Republican voters.'. , ."BUI- storey, former sheriff of MuU noman county Is to be the next chief of police should Thomas C. Devlin be elected mayor, according to the tale that Is being told In political circles, wniie Mr. Devlin has contended that he has made no promises to any prospective office holder Mr. Storey runs a little counter to the declaration and has told some of his friends that he is to be the next chief and has been promised the job should Mr. Devlin be successful. . Storey, before the primaries, was mentioned as a poselble candidate for mayor, and later went Into tne race as councilman to oppose R. A. Preston for the nomination. He came out third in the race. He was defeated for reeleo Uon as sheriff by Tom Ward two terms ago. He is now in the coal and wood business. e That there Is no distention In the ranks of the old line Democrats and that with the independent voters they are "standing pat" for Dr. Lane in the mayorailty campaign, was the as surance by H. W. Parker, a member of the Multnomah Democratic club, this morning. Mr. Parker was one of th staunch- est supporters of Mr. Thomas in the primaries but Is now exerting every effort to aid in the reelection of Mayor Harry Lane. Not only is Mr. Parker working for Dr. Lane himself but he Is. likewise urging his friends, who were associated with him in the Thomas cam paign, to become active in their ef forts to assure the election of the in dependent candidate. He said: 1 am advising all my friend to work for Dr. Lane. It la simply a matter of choice between a man who stands for the rights of the people, on one side, snd a political machine on the other. I am for the man of the people every time." GAVE WIFE BEER CONTAINING POISON San Bernardino, CaU May St. Be cause his wife refuted to longer live with him, C. H. Vinson made a de liberate attempt to kill ber and his mother-in-law, Mrs. James Price, at the tatter's home here last night giving both beer which he had doctored with strychnine. Both are in a critical con dition and Will probably die. Vinson has been arrested. Last night Vinson visited 'the home of his moCher-ln-Iaw, taking with him lunch that included two bottles of beer. One of these was found this morning containing strychnine. From this bottle he had poured beer for the women, but when Miss Eva Whltton 16-year-old girl who Is visiting them, attempted to drink It Vinson snatched the glass away. Eastern Excursions.

' r The woman who is low spirited and despondent,- who . fancies that she Is not appreciated and that It Is. some one's fault that she Is not happier and more contented Is not rare. She Is often found in bearding houses, or she Is a childless woman, living much with In doors, or a woman whose outside Interests In life have dropped away from. her. ..... For all such lonely ones we are sorry, but we sometimes long to give a word of advice, for after ail their troubles are not of the lnourable sort. The thing they need to bring them to a real healthy Interest In life is not some one to tell their troubles too, a sympa thiser, not mors money, not a sea trip, not a different sort of a husband. What they need each and every one, la to . open thetr eyes to the duties which He right at their feet Let one of these lonely women take a car and go out to Crlttenton home. Surely, a depressing., place, you say ? Wall, that's as you look at It That there Is sorrow and vice and real trouble In the world, la sad and depressing knowledge at any time, but to realise It and to ex ert one's Influence toward alleviating It Is not depressing, but heartening, Here are poor girls who have never had a chance. Let the woman who has had much and given little, I do not mean of money, alone, but of time and opportunity, and happiness, prove her self a friend to even one of these Ig norant mislead girls. They are not all evil minded; they have not oome to disgrace because they wanted to. They are there because they did not know and becauae they Ignorantly trusted some one who waa untrustworthy. They will .pot hurt this lonely Woman of whom, we are speaking. She would be afraid of of fending them perhaps, but if she will go out there in a friendly spirit, and show . to the matron and the officers that she wants to help, she will find plenty to do. She may be an expert needleworker. Then let her gather a few of these gjrls around her and teach them to sew. She may be able to tell a help ful story in an entertaining way. Then let her do thatTor many of them have no knowledge of books. She may un derstand the needs of childhood; then let her go out there and tell these wo men in a plain, and practical way how to take care of their little ones. She may have some knowledge of a trade. Then let her teach a few of them that so that when they leave the home they may ba fitted to earn a livelihood for themselves and their children. If this kind of work does not at tract the lonely woman or offer her the opportunity she seeks, let her go to the of fleers of the day nuraery and aak them how ahe can helt. They will tell her. Are there not hospitals, where a friendly smiling visitor and a bunch of roses are like a ray of light in a darkened ' room? Are there not little children convalescent who find the hours long and the diversions few? Are there not old ladles and old men whose ayes are dim and who would like .to have some one read to them, or bring them flowers, or Just talk to them? She may find these at the Pat ton Home, the Home for the Aged, or the Odd Fellows Home, and. at all of them she will And a ready welcome. If she Is not much of a talker ahe may allow herself to be talked to, and that Is one of the pleaaantest things In life to the old, to those who have paaaed the buay hurrying years and who have stored up odd experiences and bits of life philosophy which they are only too glad to share. The trouble they find Is that everybody Is too busy to listen. . If these things are not sufficient for her activities, and she wants to do something that is harder, suppose that she offer her services to the Visiting Nurse association. She need not nec essarily seek out contagious dlaeases, nor get down on her knees and scrub floors, although the visiting nurse has often to do both of , these. There are lonely children, very sick ones, helpless ones, enough and to spare to occupy every minute that the seeker for occu- fpatlon can crowd into a busy day. But the lonely woman may say that these things do not sound as though they would relieve her own distress of mind. It .sounds as though she would get deeper, and deeper Into the slough of despond. I can only repeat what I said before. The relief of trouble and distress is never dull, uninteresting, nor palnfuL To be doing something to help is not to be depressed but helped, and the. woman whose ailments are only those! of lack of occupation will surely as can be find her own troubles sink into in significance as she becomes really a helpful factor In the buay world In stead of a looker on. ft For the Housewife.

Medical: Experts Create 1 Much , Enthusiasm With Their Peculiar Methods of Treatment SUCCESS IS ASSURED At Twentieth and Waahlngton streets the big free show grounds of the Great Fer-Doa were crowded again last night with a curious and Interested throng to walooms th Great Fer-Don on the opening night Of his second week's stay In Portland. , The stage waa ablase with lights and strains Of sweet muslo were heard as the Diamond Cluster Band gave Us usual nightly concert Fer-Don spoke briefly concerning his preparations which ars performing so much good hero in our city amongst the sick and arructea, ana toia or me wor of the Fer-Don medical experts and their system of bloodless surgery and mentioned the new "Syarthgll" treat ment by which appendicitis (when taken before the pus is formed), rheumatism and othsr dreaded diseases were made to disappear and health became assured. With nathoa la his voice he related how a man from Salem, Oregon, by name of Bronaon was brought into the orcices of these learned phyalclons upon a cot suffering from appendicitis. He told how the lovlne? wife who accompanied Mr. Bronaon begged with tears in ber eyes for help for the poor sufferer and how under the Influence of the treat ment the awful threatening death was averted and Joy brought back Into the life of the now happy couple. The old saying that "good news trav- sls slowly" has assuredly been dis proved In the case of these experts. Their good works seem to be known everywhere, and every day finds each incoming train bringing its quoto of vis itors to the offices at 2(2 Washington street From eastern Oregon, Cali fornia and Washington persons nave come to visit and consult these men. eager to find relief and a cure for vari ous dlaeases. Some, it Is true, must go away disappointed, for some persons are incurable. These arc told so in an hon est straightforward manner, for one of Fer-Dons maxima ia "dishonest money will work me more harm than good," and the Fer-Don medical experts are not allowed to accept a cent from any one whom they cannot cure absolutely. Fer-Don. upon being asked by a rep resentative if he did any bualneaa by mall, pointed to a basket containing packages of letters, scores of them which were being opened and answered. "Yes," said he, "my mall is enormous. Many persons who cannot visit the of fices personally write and describe their symptoma If my doctors una tne case to be curable we forward the treatment by express, so In a great many cases we never aee the patient and perform i a cure just the same. Yes, I have been very successful In that line and would advise anyone who cannot call to mall a letter stating his or her ease clearly and .concisely and each will receive ex pert attention.' Why, see here," and ha brought forth a number of the letters, "here is mall from all over ths coun try.
