PRETTY GIRL &S MNKll GETS MAS IX TUOCBLE Captain of Mall Stoantcr ivrsla Thmueivs to Put Ir. R M. steph. enson in Iron San Francisco. An unchaperoned school girl, pretty and vivacious and 15 years of age. caused a feud aboard the Pacific Mail steamer Persia that nearly resulted in Dr. It. M. Steph enson of Greenville, S. C, being plac ed in irons and now threatens to cause charges to bw brought against Captain Andrew Lockett. master of the vessel. Details of the trouble, which has as its- central figure Miss Ramona McShane, a graduate of the Berkeley high school, were made public by passengers on the steamer upon its arrival from the orient and later con firmed by the principals in the affair. According to Miss McShane, the trouble started soon after -the Persia left the orient, due. she says, to the insistence of Captain Lockett in pay ing her unsolicited attentions. "Later I made the acquaintance of Dr. Stephenson, whose wife had re cently died," said Miss McShane. "He was bringing his baby home and we became very" good friends. "Captain Lockett resented the at tentions of Dr. Stephenson to me, and finally called him into his cabin, where a quarrel took place. According to Dr. Stephenson, the master of the vessel told him he would have to quit strolling on the deck with Miss McShane and accused him of certain improper acts. "I called in witnesses to prove the injustice of these charges." he said. "Several days later the captain threatened to put me in irons if I did not obey his commands." Captain Lockett refused to discuss the matter further than to say it was all a Joke. A heavy cold In the lungs that was expected to cure itself has been the starting point In many cases of dis ease that ended fatally. The sensible course Is to take frequent doses of BALLARD'S HOREHOUND SYRUP. It checks the progress of the disord er and assists nature to restore nor mal conditions.

Mr. George Richards, Of this place, during the past 12 years, has probably tried more different diets than the average person would ever use In a lifetime. What he has to say about his experi ments, must therefore be highly interest ing to anyone suffering from indigestion or stomach troubles of any kind. He says: "For more than 12 years, I suffered with stomach troubles, and paid hundreds of dollars for doctor bills and medicines. I was also operated on for piles. I lived on dried peaches and buttermilk for nearly three years. The only thing that would not give me pain was raw eggs. 1 was a physical wreck. 1 'could not sleep, and was as near crazy as a man could well be. 1 must say that after taking two 25-cenl packages of Thedford's Black-Draught, it did me more good than all 1 ever spent for other medicines. I have been working daily on the farm ever since, and 1 am as hard as iron." This purely vegetable remedy has been in successful use for more than 70 years. , Try it But be sure thai it's "Thedf ord'a." - CLASS PRICES REASONABLE OHEGOyiAN, PENDLETON", OREGON, WEDNESDAY.

Feb. 7. Deploring the bad effects which will be produced in the middle western and eastern states by publicity of a circular sent cut by the Central Labor Council of Portland, declaring that false adver tisements have lured thousands of men and women to the state, and up on their arrival here they bave found themselves without work and penni less. Governor West with a view of offsetting as much of this evil effect as possible and bringing about a bet ter understanding of the problem, Is sued a statement, saying he will ad dress communications to the council and the Development Leagues of the state, suggesting that a meeting be held at Portland on February 13. "If there is a lack of prosperity here and there." says the governor, after enumerating the resources of the state, "and if there are men out of employment and times are out of joint, the fault lies not with the state but with us. "While there is much truth in the circular recently sent by the Central Labor Council, it might have been a better policy and for the best Inter ests of all concerned, had we gotten together at an earlier date and brought about a readjustment of these matters here nt home and thereby avoided giving them publicity abroad. The primary purpose of the circular, as I understand it, was to put a stop to the coming of hordes of Jobless and penniless men who are flocking to our state and throwing themselves into competition with labor already here, and to emphasize the need of men able, financially and otherwise, to develop our resources and culti vate our farms. "We all agree that this is Just what we need and want. We want a bal ance between development and the labor of development. We are striv ing to solve the problem of how to secure this balance. We want labor ers, but first we want labor for their hands. With a view of getting to gether in this matter I am going to ask such members of the labor or ganizations and of development leagues of this state as can find it con venient to do so, to meet next Tues day evening at the council chamber or some other suitable place in Port land, for the purpose of fully discuss ing these great questions, so import ant to the prosperity and growth of the state, and touched upon in the circular of the Central Labor Council and try to arrive at a just and har monious solution of the problem."
