There are some ZO-odd wholesale llauor stores here, but I nearly all of them contain bars, so that they come Into competition with the re tailers who should be their only cus tomers. .

According to the story told by Mrs. Hootn, she and her husband had experi enced five years of Ideal married life. marked by the fact that no Quarrel or aisag-reement disturbed their domestic happiness, previous to last December. Then neighborhood gossips at Lewlston were responsible for the alienation of the husband s affections. Marie Thomas, a handsome blonde two yeara younger than Mrs. Booth, was a boarder at the Booth home. Miss Thomas was a school teaoher and a ...elongr chum of Mrs. Booth. Before she had suspected anything wrong, Mrs. Booth found herself alone, her huaband having decamped with Miss Thoqgas. taking with them his four-year-old daughter and all the ready cash he posseosed. Selling her household goods and jewels to raise funds, Mrs. Booth fol lowed the pair to Tacoma, located them In a lodging nouse and compelled Miss while three other gentlemen placed him ; , nn.u..inn nt .ha cither second or third.

MIDNIGHT HOWLERS FREE FROM MIDNIGHT BARKER'S CRUEL FATE Cats are particularly numerous In Portland. That they are to continue I rather numerous la quite probable. There Is no city ordinance covering the cat question. Therefore the city au thorities are powerless. And for this, no doubt, the cats, are duly thankful. , The poundmaater says he receives any complaints from people living In ill carta of tho cltv and all of these I are to the effect that the cats arc about to take the respective neighborhoods. Cats, it teems are seldom seen but I heard. It Is figured that the authorities can never estimate the number nf cats In the cltv because at times there Is enough noise to make one Imagine that there Is a ilosen of them In trouble, when aa a matter of fact the palaver is caused by only two. Five dogs were put out of commission yesterday at tho city pound. It is an easy matter to catch stray dogs. But ss for cats, even If there was an or dinance covering the cat situation, It would be a difficult matter to land them in the neta. If cats are to be caught the cat catchers would have to work at night. But even with a night force the Job would not be an easy one. Cats are particularly nimble, you know, and can scent danger much quicker than a dog. However a cat ordinance has not been Introduced In the council and as yet no one has applied for the position or cat catcher. for Miss Thomas wss a thing of the past. Mrs. Booth believed what her hus band told her and decided to remain. For a week ail went well. He worked during the daytime and spent each night at home until Tuesday. Then he remained away from home until an early hour in the morning. This aroused Mrs. Booth's suspicions and when she telephoned to the mill where her huaband had been employed, she found he was not at work. Later she learned that he and Miss .Thomas had left Tacoma together on the Puget sound electric train bound for Seattle. Last night she swore to a warrant charging him with desertion. PROSPECT GOOD FOR THE UPPER PROJECT Better Feeling Prevails at Klamath -All Are Sanguine of Great Progress This -Year. MINERS TO MEET IT iims '' ' ' . Kot Likely That Coming Convention Will Declare in Favor of Strike. (United Press Iaied Wire.) Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 18. Every thing Is In readiness for the nineteenth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America, which will be called to order in this city next Tues day morning. At this convention John Mitchell, who has piloted the organiza tion for a number of years," will formal ly relinquish the presidency, and the tellers will report the result of the re cent referendum vote on his successor. Though no official announcement has been made It Is understood that Vice President T, L. Lewis Is to succeed Mr. Mitchell in the presidency. There are manv lmnortant Questions that will confront the delegates to the 'coming convention, among the most Im- rtant being matters connected with wage scale. The - wage agreements principal fields of the United States and Canada will expire April 1, and the question of renewal Is to be brought before the convention. There has all along been talk that the miners would hold out for better terms, and as the demands were not likely to be granted by the operators It seemed that a gen eral strike was among the probabilities. Recently, however, the Industrial condi tions have brought about a change of mind among the minera, and the chances for a strike now appear to be remote. The miners will probably endeavor to secure some modifications of the pres ent agreement in their favor, but no radical demands are likely to be made by either side, so that an amicable agreement will probably be reached without much difficulty. The conven tion will frame the demands of the minera and these will be presented to the joint conference with the operators to oe neid-iater. Heppner Banks Elect Officers. (HmoIs!

Healthy kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and tne poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc. If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a fatal malady.
