SASSURED
Thomas R." Ellis, Seattle grocer, was
held to the grand jury yesterday after-
. noon from the municipal court, on a
-' charge of polygamy. It was shown
that he has a wife in Seattle and one
In Portland, the latter of which caused
his arrest when he came here last
-. week to adjust an annulment suit she
started.
Wife. No. 2, of Portland, was Alice
Smith, living at Twelfth and Alder
streets. She married Ellin, thinking
he was legally divorced from his Se
attle wife. It later developed, however,-
the Seattle wife had taken the
' divorce ault to the supreme court. Ell's
contended he did not know this had
" been done. Wife No. 1 declares he re-
celved such notice shortly before he
married the Portland woman.
A brother of the defendant deposited

L. ziGMANi DECLARES
COLONY IS DOING WELL
Is supposed to have leaned back against
the switchboards, from which four
heavy conduits protruded
Two of these struck the engineer,
one in each shoulder, and under a cur
rent of 4000 volts bored two inches
into his body. His body was support
ed in its position by the conduits,
which had burned Into his shoulders.
Knowing that it would mean death to
them to touch the man while he was
charged with electricity, his compan
ions cried to the chief engineer to turn
off the current. This was done and
the body was taken from its position.
There were no signs of life.
Shultz was about 50 years old and
was unmarried. He had been employed
In the plant for about five years, and
was one of the three engineers in
charge there.

Knocked Into a Manhole.
Los Angeles, Jan. 20. Stooping over
a manhole In the street, C. Turner was
bumped by a streetcar and sent head
long into the hole, where another man
was at work. Both slept at a hospital
last night.
Admission that he had accepted
small sums monthly from the Baggage
& Omnibus. Transfer company in re
turn for special privileges was made
yesterday afternoon by W. F. Groh,
baggagemaster for the Northern Pa
cific Terminal company, at the hear
ing before the railroad commission of
the rtmplaint of the Baggage Service
TraMfer company, regarding service
in the baggage room at the union
depot. The complaining company al
leged it has been discriminated against
Groh began to work for the termi
nal company 11 years ago, he testified,
and he received $10 a month from the
Baggage & Omnibus Transfer company
until 19C9, and from that time until
last September he had received $20 a
month.
Asked what he had given in return
for the presents, he said that, it had
been nothing which the relations of the
baggage company and the terminal
company did not call- for. Commission
er Altohison asked him If the gratui
ties, did not stop when the "anti-tip
order of the commission went into ef
feet last fall, and Groh admitted it
must have been about that time.
"Independent" Crave Tips.
F. C. Cooley, an "Independent" bag
gageman. testified that he had fre
quently given tips to baggage clerks
at the depot for special privileges,
sometimes as much as $2.50 a time.
W. H. Warrens, manager of the Bag,
gage & Omnibus Transfer company,
said that prior to the time he assumed
managership of the company, last
spring, it was the custom of his com
pany to give presents to city bag'
gagemen of various roads in return
for recommendations, given by these
ticket men to patrons for the baggage
comnany. He admitted on cross-ex
amination that the Worthern Pacific
railroad employes were the only ones
he could remember who were paid
these nresents, but offered to look up
his records before the hearing is re
sumed tomorrow.
Contracts between the Baggage &
Omnibus Transfer company and the
Northern Pacific. Southern Pacific and
O.-W. R. & N. roads, the three using
the union depot, were Introduced In
evidence. The contracts give the right
to the baggage company to send men
aboard the Incoming trains to solicit
patronage and to check baggage at
homes of patrons for outgoing trains,
"Stripping" Hot Mentioned.1
The right of the baggage company
to segregate baggage of Incoming
trains and to "strip" the baggage, as
the removal of checks is called, was
not mentioned In the contracts, but
Manager Warrens declared that he con
sidered that an unwritten part of the
contract. These rights form the ground
for the complaint. He declared these
practices assisted In relieving conges
tlon and aided independent baggage
men in getting their baggage ou
auickly.
Warrens declared that his company
had similar contracts with the com
panies which use the North Bank sta
tion, and that since the present com
plaint had been filed the segregatiotrof
baggage and stripping had beep
stopped by the railroad companies.
Monmouth, Or., Jan. 20. At the
meeting of the Polk County Grange
Wednesday, January 14, the following
resolutions were passed:
Whereas. The State Grange of Ore
gon has declared after an investiga
tion, in favor of retaining the univer
sity and agricultural college as sep
arate institutions and (definitely de
fining the distinctive work of each so
as -to leave no further opportunity for
conflict of needless duplication) and
W hereas, The Board of Higher Cur
ricula, at a recent meeting, has an
nounced its intentions to order the
tnginering course to be divided be
tween the two institutions, and
Whereas. Such action will fail to
avoid the duplication of work, building,
and of machinery, and
Whereas, We believe such an order
to be a menace to the splendid useful
ness of the agricultural college.
Therefore be It resolved, That we.
the members of the Polk County
Grange, ask the Board of HJgher Cur
ricula to matte such adjustments as
will give arl of the work, in applied
science to the agricultural college, and
to the university the work in educa
tion, law, medicine, pure science, and
the arts.

Watch Carefully
the Child's
Diet
Start Them Off Right With a
Good Laxative and Then
Watch Their Food.
Mothers are often unconsciously very
careless about the diet of their chil
dren, forcing all to eat the same foods.
The fact is that all foods do not agree
alike with different persons. Hence.
avoid what seems to constipate the
child or to give it indigestion, and urge
it to take more of what is qutckiy
digested.
If the child shows a tendency to con
stipation it should immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els. By this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. .What the child re
auires is simply a small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation. So
many things can happen to a consti
pated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness,
and many other annoyances that chil
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many of America's foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need it, and
all can use It. Thousands endorse it,
among them Mrs. M. E. Patten, Valley
Junction, Iowa, who is never without
it in the house. Mrs. Patten says that
Syrup Pepsin has done wonders for her
HI vkQh, J
BALFK M. FATTEjr.
boy Ralph, who was constipated from
birth but is now doing fine. Naturally
she is enthusiastic about it and wants
other mothers to use it. Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists at
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle
the latter size being bought by those
who already know its value, and It con
tains proportionately more.
Everyone likes Syrup Pepsin as it is
very pleasant to the taste. It is also
mild and non-griping and free from
injurious ingredients.
Families wishing to try a free sam
ple bottle can obtain it postpaid by
addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 419

For October, 1900, we got out a particularly good number of The
Munsey. I said so on the cover a plain, matter-of-fact, signed

Such an innovation, such a shocking disregard of number makes the other one look small and indif-
conventionality, was intolerable in the eyes of the ferent. That number had 160 pages; this one has
newspaper paragraphers. I bore up tolerably well 234 pages. That number cost to go to pre$s $5000;
