Women shrink from the personal questions of the local physician which seem indelicate. The thought of examination is ab horrent to them, and so they endure in silence a condition of disease which surely progresses from bad to worse. It has been Dr. Pierce's privilege to cure a 11 rear many women who hare found a refuse tor modesty in his offer of FREE consulta tion by letter. 3.7 correspondence is held as sacredly confidential.

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription restores and regulates the womanly functions, abolishes pain and builds up and puts the finishing touch of health on every weak woman who gives it a fair trial. It Makes Weak Wo Sick Women You can't afford to accept a secret for this non-alcoholic meuicine of i Sfron<£, um u$ a £p(-scitute Weston Leader.] A “model” high school building at Portland, which cost $350,000, is de scribed as an awful botch by the Ev ening Telegram. There are glaring de fects in its contsruction, and its wood en interior makes qf it a fire-trap, That paper objects because the school board is planning for another and similar biulding to cost the same am- ount. The board Claims that $350,000 is not sufficient for a fire proof struc ture of the size required, and that more money is not available. All of this is interesting, and rath er deplorable. It affords an inkling of what would happen should the Ore gon normals be defeated at the polls and a “central normal” at Portlandd be decided upon by the legislature. It would have to be housed in a fire-proof structure, and the grounds, biuldings and maintenance would re quire an initial appropriation of at least half a million dollars. It would reqlure much more money and do much less work than the three nor mals "cut off” in a fit of imbecility by the last state senate. The Leader doubts if all three Ore- gon normals together received as much as $500,000 during the entire course of their existence. It knows that the Eastern Oregon State Nor mal School received but $174,000 sine« 1891, the date of its first appropria tion. declares He Has Not Asked for a Break With Sherman. OYSTER BAY.—Theodore Roose velt denied emphatically that he had sent an ultimatum to President Taft demanding that the president break with Vice-President Sherman. The report had it that Mr. Sherman was chiefly responsible for the action of the state committee in refusing to select Colonel Roosevelt as temporary chairman of the New York state re publican committee and in recom mending the vice-president instead. The colonel added that he had not sent Mr. Griscom or any one else to Beverly on any mission. He made it clear that he had no intention of do ing so and recognized no situation which could call for such a step. SHERMAN IS HELD TO BE BLAMELESS SULPHUR, Okla.—The select com •mittee appointed by the house ot representatives to investigate Indian land matters and the so-called Mc Murray contracts and which also has been investigating the Gore bribery charges, issued the following state ment: “The committee has heard and care fully considered all of the testimony submitted and is unanimously of the opinion that there is and was no war rant for any person to use the names of Vice-President Sherman and Sen ator Charles Curtis in connection with any improper relation with any In dian contract whatever ” This is the opinion of the commit tee alter hearing scores of witnesses, who appeared following the testimony of Senator T. P. Gore. Senator Gore declared that he had been approached by Jake L. Hamon and that Hamon, acting in the interest of J. F. McMur ray, had offered him (Senator Gore) $25,000 or $50,000 as a bribe. The Senator testified that Hamon mentioned Senator Curtis and Vice- President Sherman as being “inter ested” in the deal, Mr. Sherman being named as the man “higher up.” ■MM S » ITEMS OF INTEREST THROUGHOUT OREGON Regulate r the Bowels Chronicle of Important Events cf Interest to Our Readers. “I have been troubled with constipation for several years, and have tried a great many kinds of pills, as well as medicine from the doctor.

PORTLAND.—So serious has the situation become in the Crater Na- tional forest in Southern Oregon that George H. Cecil, associate district for ester, called a conference of the chiefs of the various offices to receive sug gestions as to further procedure in the work of fighting the flames which are devastating vast areas of valuable timber and threatening the destruc tion of lives and other kinds of prop erty. A message was sent by Forester Ce cil to the district forester at San Francisco, asking information as to the number, location and disposition of troops in California at the present time, how many may be available for service in Southern Or.egon.
