HOW PAPERS
At th time of the Gopperfleld raid
tie news was cabled to Europe nd
an aoocunt appeared In 'The News of
1 the Day" a" Amsterdam paper. A
young Hollander Interested in the
event and who had seme command of
Bngtish, waa pleased to translate and
forward to Miss Hobba the story a It
appeared in the Amsterdam paper. It
follows:
"la the American town, Copper fielO,
In the State of Oregon, were since a
long time severer Improprieties. The
local authorities allow conuivautly the
evasion of the decree against the abuse
of taking liquor, even they accelerated

T the Lord Lieutenant of Oregon had
menaced to take- the necessary precau
tions.
"Waiting for tho military expedition
. : amiouitced by him the 'Alcoholista of
f t Copperfleld armed themselves with
- revolvers. At the time that the sol
tilers of the Lord Lieutenant would
arrive ail the citizens of the town, who
j liked a sensation very much, were be
fore the station. Great was their ns
i touiahment when nobedy came out of
the train except a young girl. She went
to the Burgomaster and showed by
proxy she required the Immediate
resignation of the daily government.
The flurgomaHter, who found the rig
orous meusures of the girl as comic as
bold, refused flatly. But tho young
lady. Miss Kern Hobbs, was not put
out of countenance. Accidentally thera
were In the train some artillerymen
; commanded by a colonel. Perfectly In
due form and always by proxy, she
commanded the colonel to proclaim
the town under a state of siege, to
take prisoner the Burgomaater and
three of the members of the town coii.i
oil and to search the persons who were
, at the station and to disarm thorn.
' 5"he colonel could not do else than to
obey. The armed became disarmed.
The inns were olosed and the Innkeep
ers; were commanded to send their pro
visions of alcohol abroad If they dM

Although no effort was made by
the delegation from the Business
Men's league here to win the- next
convention of the Oregon State Re
tail Merchants association while at
Astoria, it paved the way -for great
and future resognition. In the report
of his activities as a representative
of the Business Men's league at the
Astoria meet Walter Denton told the
members, at their meetlna? In the
Commercial club Tuesday evening, of
tne tendency of business men in all
parts of the state to look to Salem to
set the pace.
Reading from excerpts of his speech
made at the Astoria convention Mr
Denton revealed the stroke made for
this city there by the Salem delegates,
Of Which he himself was Hnnkemn.m
Salem was pictured as the city beau
tiful, the land of opportunity and en
terprise, in his speech to the Astoria
convention.
Mr. Denton did not enter into a de
tailed report of all that passed at the
convention, but rather confined him
self to a resume of tho league's dele
gation activities there.
The league meeting Tuesday night
was well attended. P. E. Fullerton,
who automatically became director
upon the resignation of R. ir Phnnio
waa formally elected by unanimous
vote.
Complaint contained in a communi
cation from Willamette university
students that costs for printing a
booklet here waa from 50 tn ftn m.r
cent higher than in Eugene caused
the business men to appoint a com
mittee to investigate and report to
the board of directors of the Com
mercial club.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets WlM
Help Digest the Men! Easily
and Surely
Good food in. itself is harmless.
The usual reason stomach troubles
arise- Isv due- t faulty digestion
brought about by overworking the
body or brain, sickness, overeating,
late hours, etc.
The best way to correct faulty
stomach troubles and digestive mis
takes is .to do what nature wants.
All that nature usually needs is a
little assistance to do this work.
This is why doctors tell you to diet.
By not eating nature is compelled to
aid herself. You do not then over
work her when she is already ex
hausted.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go in
to your stomach just like food. They
help digest this food. Then they en
rich the blood, and thus when the
next meal is eaten the system is bet
ter prepared to do Its work without
assistance or at least less harmfully.
By following this natural habit
many have corrected their stomach
troubles, and have conquered the old
"bugbear" of indigestion.
Always take a Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet after meals or Just before bed
time. By doing this you will be act
ing wisely and playing safe.

buy a box now. Price, 50 cents. Adv.

DUCED WITHOUT A SINGLE EXCEPTION
From 10 per cent to 20 per cent and in many odd lots and broken lines even more

in the wholesale market this season.

vance of 60 per cent over l?st Fall's prices.

provide for your wants for the next two years.

wholesale lines. -
