PiiOlECr THE ARTISAN. A lawyer, a doctor or a school teacher must pass a satisfactory examination before some body authorized to pass upon his qual ifications before he is allowed to . enorage in his profession. This in Oregon. So far so good. The idea of protecting well qualified men is commendable on the part of the state. The only trouble is that such protection is not f ar reachinj? enough. When one calls upon a physi cian or a lawyer for his services he may feel certain that the pro fessional man has sufficient learning to pass the required ex aminations. Otherwise he would be debarred from practice, either in medicine or law. Thus we see both those who follow these pro fessions and the general public protected Why not the man who follows some trade? Why should he not be protected from s -ne piratical jack-of-all-trades? Whv should not the public be as surred that he is not to be im posed upon by an incompetent artisan? There is a s.ate law for the protection of barbers. If it is necessary for the good of the people and the barbers themsel ves that the protection be afford ed, why should not the carpen ters, the blacksmiths, shoemak ers, paiiuers and printers lie af forded the same immunity from ruination of their trades from the piratical workmen? A man who can use a saw and hammer, will, after six months' experience call himself a carpenter and be gin contracting. He does "botch" work and whoso hires him must suffer, but so also must the man who has spent years at the trade- We find it so in everything and in no trade or profession is there more latitude allowed than in the printing business. The printers of the length and breadth of the entire commonwealth have al ways battled for the good of the public and haTe used their ink without stint in the attempt to better the conciicions of all the people and especially other craf t mn, but they have done little or nothing to protect themselves Tne common idea is that three or four years is all that is required to learn the printing business from ' 'A to izzard. " The fallacy of such an idea! It takes about eight years and then the re mainder of a lifetime. As it is now all that is necessary is for a fellow to "know the boxes" and he is a printer. It is just so in all other trades- In all of the older countries the trades are strictly protected in one way or another and the boy who masters a trade does so with ti3 assurance that at the end of his apprenticeship he will not be compelled to come into -competition with every "Tom, .Disk and Harry" who pirates bath upon the artisan and the public. Comparatively few boys nd young men are learning trades at least as they should iearn them. Can it be because the trades and professions are not respected enough by the state to be protected? It seems here is a legitimate field ' for legislation. Surely something can be done for the protection of both the public and the artisan. We are willing to battle in behaif of what we con sider is due all the tradesmen and we sincerely hope our fellow printers and publishers will do a little for their own protection while they are laboring in the . behalf of others. It is high time -1 hey did. i ASYLUM AT LAST. For Girl Criminal -Esther Mitch ell at Steilacoum. Seattle; Feb. 20- Esther Mitch ell,, who since, last Julyhas been confined in the county jail charg ed with the murder of her bro ther, George Mitchell, left for the state asylum for the insane at Steilacoon this noon. The commitment was signed by Sup erior Judge Frater this forenoon immediately upon receipt or a remittur from the supreme court conveying a formal notification that Judge Frater's act in calling a lunacy commission to investi gate the mental condition of the girl was legal. As soon as the commitment was signed 'and delivered to De puty County Clerk Stickles a cer tified copy was made and given to the Chief Deputy Sheriff Ed Drew. A few minutes later j Esther Mitchell was informed of the disposition of her case and at once began preparations to leave her cell in the woman's ward of the jail. Mrs. Kelly, police ma tron, was summoned to accom pany the girl to the asylum. Esther Mitchell received the news to go to the asylum as stoi cally as she received everything that has had to do with her since she shot her brother. Before leaving the cell, she bade the wo men who had been her compan ions good-bye and was in turn made the recipient of many con gratulations. Ever since she has been in jail, Esther Mitchell has been an ob ject of sympathy on the part of women who have been in her, company. She- has never been intimate with any of them, but her demeanor has been kindly and all of those who came in con tact witn ner iearnea3 to sympa thize with the pale, silent girl, who seemingly was wrapped up in some mysterious influence, and bore none of the character istics of her fellow prisoners-wo men from the slums of the city, devoid of any but the very basic indications of her Sex. After leaving the ward , the girl bid very cordial farewell to jailers Fred Hill and .Emil Lar son asking them to tell the night jailers goodbye for her and ac companied by .Police Matron Kelley, left the building for the dock wnere sjhe will take the boat for Tacoma, from whence she wili make the trip to the asylum. Tangled Tongues" Killing Her, Reports have been made to the police that Mrs John F. Glassco, wife of tbe negro leader of the "Tongues of Fire" worshippers, is dying as a result of exhaustion following the delirious and pro tracted system of worship of that strange sect, says the Portland Journal. An investigation into the report is being made. - Glassco himself, black, inso lent and domineering leader of the half-witted, band, denies that excess ve devotion has caused the woman's illness. He declares that she is suffeiing with an ab scess and that he has her under the care of a physician. She is in South Portland, he says, but he does not remember the ad dress to which he sent her. A police officer this morning searched the place at Second and Main streets where the peculiar devotees perform their orgies. Tbe ailing woman could not be found, nor was the officer able to find a trace ot her except the statement of the proselyting African who is her husband. Even at the early hour when he visited , the place he fonnd a half dozen: worshippers there. Some were kneeling in silent praver, while others were in the frenzy of fanaticism that has kept the police busy here for several days. On the floor lay a man prone upon his back, his feet and hands pointing upward. He trembled violently, as it suffering from a violent attack ot ague or St. Vitus' dance. Before the altar knelt a soli tary woman. She was elegantly dressed and wore costly jewels. There was a look about her of i appatent' refinement and educa tion, bnt there was also in her eyes the apparent glare of a fana tic devotee of the ''TangjpSgl Flame" variety of worship. ' - ; Efforts to Jocate the-physician in whose care Glassco says he lias placed his wife were useless. However, the investigation will be continued, it is's-aid, until the woman is fonnd and given proper attention . Jail Break Foiled. A bold attempt at a j til break was nipped in the bnd at Albany Saturday by Sheriff Smith. A bar of iron at a window a quarter of an inch thick and an inch and a half wide was sawed completely off at one end and partly cut through at the other. A. few hours more and the bar would have been removed and the escape would have been easy. The plan to escape from the jil was discovered by Sheriff Smith through the disappearance ot a silver knife which had been sent down with the orisoner's meals at noon, and did not re turn with the trav and dishes. Mrs. Smith who had prepared the meals for the prisoners, sent down f air knives with the din ner and noticed but three return ed. .Thinking that the knife might have been accidently left down in the prisan, she. made in quiry from the prisoners but they asserted tnat she had only sent down three knives to them. Knowing that this was ' not true, she informed Sheriff Smith. A watch was kept on the jail all afternoon and it was noticed that one of the four prisoners in the jail was always at the win dow as if on guard. This taken with the disappearance of the knife, was suspicious, and at five o'clock Sheriff Smith and Deputy Sheriff Stellmacher entered the prison and made an investigation. After finding pocket knives with nicked blades in possession of the prisoners, the silver knife also made into a saw, was brought forth and the sawed bar was then discovered. Beaver Graek Notes.

The above iiuestion is often asked con earning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and Favorite Prescription. The answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery "is & most potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator and acts espcially favorably In a cura tive way up-.in all the mucous lining sur faces, a? o: the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and b!addeDr-cnri!; a large per cent, of eatJM rhal cases vvhetherhe disease affects the nasal pas$p.es, the throat, larynx, bron chia, stomacnNCas catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels (as muXpusdf5Nj?&jkA bladder, uterus or otaer pulvic orgifns Even in affections', IE, is a powerful jet g'eniiy acting invigorafr ing tonic an3 nervine. For weak worn out, over-worked women no matter what has caused the break-down, "Favorite Prescription "will be found most effective in building up the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. A book of particulars wraps each bott's giving the formula: of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med ical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in prescribing, say of each in gredient entering into these medicines. The words of praise bestowed on the several ingredients entering into Doctor Pierce's medicines by such writers shouiri have more weight than any amount o! non - professional testimonials, becaus such men are writing for the guidance o? their medical brethren and know whereol they speak. Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non secret, and contain no harmful habit forming drugs, being composed of glycfcTir extracts of the roots of native, American medicinal forest plants They are both sold by dea!'?rs in medicine. You can't afford to accept as a substitute for one oi these medicines of known composition, any secret nostrum. s.

BEWARE OP "DIGESTIVES." The Only Way to Cure Stomach Disorders is toy Strengthening the Digestive Organs. The ordinary "dyspepsia" tablet has ruined more stomachs than all other causes combined. Giving temporary re lief, it leaves the digestive system weak er than ever, er.d the tablets must be con tinned with increasing frequency. The only way to completely cure stom ach t'oub'es is by strengthening the digertive organs with a Mi-o-na stomach tablet taken before meals. Used in this wav, Mi-o-na excites th? secretion of gastric juice, and when tte food is swal lowed, the stomach is ready to digest it, Mi-o-na stomach tablets are never sold in bulk, bat in a neat box convenient for the purse or vest pocket, at 50c. A guarantee is given by Graham & Wells with every box of Mi -o-na, that money will ba refunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction. This shows their faith in the merits of the remedy.
