CREFFIELD AGAIN.
Strange as it may seem, Cref
field is again at the head of a
little colony . of his adherents
and the fact that a camp is to
he located somewhere near Wald
port, in Lincoln county, is
pretty generally known. That
there are those who would be led
astray a second time by such a
dirty rascal is, alas! too true.
To a person of sane judge
ment it seems strange, in fact,
it passeth human understanding,
that such a creature as Creffield
could have secured a following
in the first place. To again es
tablish his practices after hav
ing served a term in the state
penitentiary would seem doubly
im possible. Yet such is l he case.
Adultery landed Creffield behind
prison bars and, shameful as it
maybe, adultery and Holly Roller
ism seem inseparable.
One would think that with
many, if not all of the followers
of "Joshua" Creffield the First
in the insane asylum and Cref
iicid himself in the peniten
tiary, would have cured all of
their fanaticism. One by one
all who were sent to the asylum
were discharged and sent to
their homes supposedly cured.
JLater liberty was granted Cref-
iieldL Are the same conditions
to again prevail? I the same
scenes be enacted? and the
same remedies applied? What
can fee done with or for a people
vho are so weak as to follow the
damnable teachings and practices
of a man like Creffield? We
.give it up.
What steps the Lincoln county
authorities will take in the mat
ter is not known. If we mis
judge them not they will act
promptly, now that they know
the results of Holy Rollerism,
and use every means within their
power to protect their people
from pollution by Creffield.
BE NOT MISLED.
There seems to be some dis
satisfaction in certain democrat
ic circles about the republican
nominees for election- We are
sorry to see an accusation made of
"jobbery" and "combine" and
emphatically deny that any such
statement is founded in fact
All men who took a prominent
part in the recent primary elec
tion we believe to be men of
honor, be they republicans or
democrats, and feel assured
that the primaries were conduct
ed on honorable lines.
It is an unfortunate thing that
every candidate cannot be nomi
nated and later elected, but the
fates decree against it. We
sincerely hope that all may look
at the matter philosophically and
accept conditions as they really
are and not be affected by the
imaginings of those whose
interests it would be to start a
strife.

It will surprise .1 great many
people to learn t'1 t Douglas
county, Oregv : ' 1 horses
have become a ; i..:iee, and
that a bunch of 1 $,000 of the
aeimals is to be rounded up
this month and killed tor their
hides. Ia cur school bov days
we used to read in the geographies'
oi that penoa ot the pamj as of
South America where large
herds of wild horses roamed the
p'ains, and their hides, tallow
and flesh formed the principal
articles of support to the half
breed Gnachos who inhabited the
region. Wild horses were a'so
found on the plains of our great
West, and the broncho and the
Indian pony are decendants ot
those herds. It is news that
they are still roaming the plains
as far north ai Oregon, and also
that their only value is that put
upon them by the South Amer
ican" Guachos. They are not
worth the trouble of domesticat
ing, it seems, and so cowboys
have been secured to round up
the heard and do the slaughter
ing. Better look out that the
beef trust does not take a hand
in the work of destruction and
secure the business of distribut
ing the remains.
A Real Man.
Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendle
ton, Or., was given a splendid
vote in this county for senatorial
nomination on the republican
ticket. His many ardent sup
porters will be pleased to know
that he is not "sulking in his
cent." and they should bear in
mind that the day will come
when the people of Oregon will
beckon to Mr. Lowell that he
may come forth. In order .that
his many friends may know how
philosophically he is viewing the
situation we publish the loll'ow
ing letter sent to R. C. Wills, of
this city:
April 23, 1906.
Robert Wills,
Corvallis, Oregon.
Dear Sir The result of the pri
mary election indicates the nomi
nation of Mr. Cake, of Portland,
to tne seuatorship, and I beg to
express my thanks to friends in
the various counties for their
kind offices in my behalf and to
ay that I trust some time in the
future to be able to reciprocate.
It has been apparent for the
last ten days that the contest was
between Mr. Cake and mysell for
the anti-Bourne vote, the sent'
ment over the state manifesting
a willingness on the part of the
electorate to support either man
most likely to receive the snp
port necessary to accomplish Mr.
Bourne's defeat, and mturalh
at the last moment the balances
turned in favor of the Mult
nomah man because ot the expec
tation that location would give
him the support ot the City of
Portland in a large degree. I
am sure that Mr. Cake will make
an efficient senator and I believe
he is entitled lo the support of all
republican?.
With thanks for many cour
tesies, and with assurances of
personal regard, I am,
Yours truly,

A3 Oakland Letter.
Ralph Pruett, of this citv, re
ceived a letter Tuesday, from
his parents, who reside in Oak
land and were in the earthquake
recently. They stated that
nearly all the plastering: was
shaken off their house, almost I
every disti they possessed was
smashed, the clock was hurled
into the middle of the floor and
broken, all the plumbing wa
Iwisted and put out of working
order, and a general smashing ud
ws experienced bv all. The
letter savs that every church.
city hall and public building ha.-,
been converted into shelters foi
the refugees who are flooding the
city, and that no church services
were held in Oakland the Sun
day before the epistle was written
The noise of the earthquake is
described as similar to an express
train crossing a bridge, only
that it was much more terrific
and terrible. While the usual
population of Oakland is 100,000
the letter to Mr. Pruett says,
that the present population is
250,000 giving some idea ot the
congested condition that exists
in towns within reach of San
Francisco.

disaster will have upon the financial

a mild fjrm of financial panic.

The Young Physician.
WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.
In the early sixties it was usually the
duty of a practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
round of visits upon nis patients. In
those davs a young man who had received
a splendid medical training in one of the
best medical colleges of that day was ac
customed to ride ten, twenty, thirty miles
or more visiting the sick and afflicted.
His success was soon phenomenal. Doc
tors and families called him for consulta
tion to towns at considerable distances
by rail. His specialty was the cure of
those common and distressing diseases
of women. He had early discovered that
by combining the extracts of the follow
ing medicinal plants, in just the right
proportion, without the use of alcohol nis
"Prescription" almost invariably cured
such cases. Later, in order to place this
remedy before the public in a shape easily
to be procured, he established a labo
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y., where regu
larly qualified chemists were put in
charge to accurately prepare his "Pre
scription " and put it in shape for ship
ment to all parts of the world. This
remedy, whicn he named Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not a "patent
medicine" but a tonic and nervine for
women, and a regular physician's pre
scription, and contains the following in

Dr. Pierce does not claim for his "Fa
vorite Prescription" that it is a "cure-all."
It is recommended as a most perfect ,
specific for woman's peculiar ailments. .'
No uniform are the results which follow
the use of this remarkable remedy, that
it can be truly affirmed of "Favorite Pre
scription that italuxtys helps and almost
alivays cures. Kinety-eight per cent, of
the women Mho give this medicine a fair
and iaithf ul trial are cured and remain
cured.
It is a powerful invigorating tonic, im
parting health and strength in particular
to the womb and its appendages. The
local, womanly health is so intimately
related to the general health that when
diseases of the delicate womanly organs
are cured the whole body gains in health, "
and strength. For weak and ; sickly
women who are "worn-out," "run-down
or debilitated, especially for women who '
work in store, office or schoolroom, who
sit at" the typewriter or sewing machine, -on
bear heavy household burdens, Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will prov
a priceless benefit because of its health
restoring and strength-giving power.
; The Proof.
"I want to tell you of the great lmproTe
ment in my health, since taking your " Favor
ite Prescription. says Mrs. Hr S. Jones, ot
Forest. N. C. "When I began its use I was a
physical wreck and had despaired of ever
having good health again. Could not sit ud
all day. I noted a great improvement before
the first bottle was all used. Was suffering
with almost every pain that a woman Is sub-
jeet to ; had Inflammation of the ovaries,
painful and suppressed periods, and other
symptoms of female disease. After taking
six bottles of ' Favorite Prescription X felt
like a new person. Can ride horseback and
take all kinds of exercise and not feel tired."
