doctor to take a half-teaspoon-ful
of Soott's emulsion of cod
liver oil 'after dinner once a
day and found herself almost
suddenly growing robust.

Sunday noon. A fvw niinuti's before
ho jiassod away he lapsed into uncon
sciousness aiul died without a oid,
without any sulToriiig. His son,
Thomas H. , Jr., did not riside with
his tatlur, hut wus notiticd of his ap
proaching end, and hastened to his
father's bedside, but. did not reach
there until ho had passed away.
The physicians who wore summoned
and tho family physician, Dr. liovoc,
as will as tho coroner, agreed that
di nth was duo to acuto indigestion,
which superinduced paralysis of the
heart. Mr. Tonguo had been iu tiu
usuiil health, and except fo- occasion
al attacks of dysjiopsiii, to which ho
has heeu subject of Into years, has not
complained of feeling badly this wiu
t r. He considered that ho was ill
better health thau ho had been ill for
two years past, ill fact. Mr. Tongue
nttvuded a dinner last night, and did
not retire until a late hour. When
he slept late Sunday inorniug,coutrary
to his custom, nothing was thought of
it.
Al 10 o'clock he received a call from
two Oreogu friends, II. H. Ciilfry and
Orvillo Dodge, with whom ho dis
cussed at length, matters of personal
Hurt political character. During the
stay of these gent lemon ho remained
in bed, but rose.and dressed as they
left, and had a light breakfast in his
room. Ho said nt the time that his
appetite was not good, and complained
slightly of dyspepsia. At his request
his daughter Hi rthit ' brou ght him a
soda solution, which he drunk and re
marked that he thought that would tlx
him all right. ?he, however, was
somewhat concerned, as ho looked un
usually pale, and asked if he did not
want tho doctor. Ho replied that ho
did not ; that he would soon be ut his
normal condition. He went through
his morning mail and then lay down
on the couch to read the pa)icrs. His
daughter joked with him slightly
about being sick and too stubborn to
have a doctor, but he insisted that he
was not ill.
A few minutes later
Hiss IVrlha noticed that her father

LEWIS "aNDCLARK FAIR
Exposition to Be Held at Port
land in I90S.
A writer in tho Edinburg Review
in IS t:l described Oregon as the last
corner on earth left freo for the occu
)iatiou of a civilized race. "When
Oregon shall bo colonized," ho de
clared, "tho map of the world may
be considered as filled up." This
was written at tho time thu bonndary
line was pending between tho United
States and Groat Britain, terminating
June 15, 1SK! iu tho addition of the
territory between the 4.M and J'.lth
parallels and west of the Rocky
Mountains to our national domain.
Fifty years before Captain Gray had
discovered tho Columbia, river and US
years before Lewis and Clark had
completed their expedition across the
continent by making camp on the
shores of the Pacific.
The one hundredth anniversary of
the arrival of tho Lewis and (Murk
isirly iu Oregon will be commemorat
ed iu 15)05 by an exposition which
will be representative of American
KuriiH'aii and oriental life, customs
and industry. Preparations for this
event tiro now uetively under way.
A company with f00,0(H) capital has
been incorporated ut Portland, hc
site has been selected on the very
IKiiut on the Willamette reached by
Captain Clark iu April, ISM', and the
various state legislatures and congress
will be asked to make appropriations.
Our Lewis and Clark exposition will
be national in scojhi und iiiiisirtauco.
Nothing that has occured since the
discovery of gold in California will
so attract attention to tho Pacific
I... ,
West and
its wonderful capabilities
for homo building and industry as the
Lew is and (Mark KxHsition of l'.Mr.
The east, now well filled up with
people, and lacking tho cheap land
that iu generations past was its chief
inducement to the hoineseeker, now
appreciates the west and realizes Its
value to an expanding country. The
great task that I ho West hail to over
come, tho prejudice against it, was
duo to the fact that for 41) years fol
lowing tho purchase of Louisiana I lie
land was not needed for sett lenient
and tho ooplo of the United Stall's
were at a loss to know what to do
w ith tlio new possession. Rot ween
1hii anil ls.'ilt, purchase, cxploral ion

to our national extent, over times
as large an urea hs Gn at llritaiu by
the treaty of 17S'I declared lo be" free,

All this vast territory is west of the
Mississippi river and the day when it
began to bo needed for settlement it
within tho memory of nu n yet in the
prime of life.
The Oregon country, which the ex
pedition of' Lewis ami Clark assured
to American sovereignty, compri.-es

j ""Tlie main purpono of the Kxssit ion
will be to advertise the resources and
possibilities of tho Pociflo Northwest
with the view to encouraging settlors
ami investors to come here from tho
East and Middle West to make homes
and establish new industries. In a
word, tho Northwest itself, will be
on exhibition with all its matchless
scenery and its products of farm,
forest, factory and mines. The Expo
sition will not be local or sectional in
any sense.
Low railroad rates will bo in effect
between the east and tho west iu l'.HVi,
which will insuro largo ami represen
tative attendance. Specially low
rates will prevail iu tho Northwest to
enable the visitors to go to other
towns and sections of interest. All
who wish to visit any pluctf iu Ore
gou, for the purposo of looking up
land, or investigating locations for
industrial plauts no matter whether
it bo in tho remotest section of tho
State will havol tho privilege of
settlers' or iuvestors' rates. There
will thus bo opportunities to see the
Upper and Lower Columbia river,
Nothwesteru Oregon, Tillamook, the
Willamette Volley, Southwestern
Oregon, Southern Oregon, and all of
the state cast of the Cascade Mount
ains. This will bo one of tho most
important features of tho Exposition,
for the excursions of tho Eastern
visitors to those parts of Oregon
which greatly need development will
certainly result iu largo iucreaso in
population through settlement nud
tho investment of enormous sums of
money in thu state.
The appropriation to bo made by tho
legislature for tho exposition will bo
extended under the direction of a
state commissioner which will be re
quired to submit a full report of its
doings to the legislature which will
meet after the oloso of tho Exposi
tion. No part of the money will bo
expended in uuy other way.

tied from a plank and he fell head
first to tho bottom of tho hole. Dur
ing hia rapid descent, Hathaway
struck several times on protruding
rocks and pieces of timbers und then
struck the bottom.
Tho workmen at. tho top, who had
rushed to his assistance, expected to
find a dead mail. Hathaway was
raised to the top and to nil api'iir
ances was dead. On examining him,
however, it was found that no hones
had Ih'i'ii broken and lifter a few
moments' treatment, ho regained
consciousness. Ho was badly bruised
and shaken up, hut beyond that no in

squarely on his head and how ho es

The news relating to tho progress
iu the construction work of the
Klamath Lake Ii. It. continues very
favorable. The road is being built
ill first class stylo and is cost lug
ulsiut ;.',iyi per mile. The silly
whim that tint road is simply to be a
timber road is thus shown to 1st base
less by the cost of the construction.
As soon as the first depot is cstahllsh-
I ed and trains make regular trips,
a line of rapid Hinges will connect
Klamath Kails and the railroad.

ONE OF THE DEVIL'S JOKES.
John J. O'Hrlen, a policeman, who
lived at No. 10..U Thirty-fourth
Street in Ilrooklyn, was a good,
honest man when sober.
Unlived at tho address mentioned
a few days ago with his wife and
children to whom ho was devoted
whui sober.
At present he lives ill a cell charg
ed with murder. His wife is buried,
killed by him and his children are
bereft.
The story of the change iu Police
man O'lirieu's life is very short and
ho himself dinrils'S it better than
anybody else could possibly describe
it,
Ho citiuci home drunk. His wife
told him he ought to bo ashamed to
aps ur drunk before the children.
Ho arose unsteadily, took his revol
ver from the mailt lepleec, and shot
his wife dead.
Thru he went out and gave himself
up to another policeman. Ills ex
planation ofjiis crime was as follows:
"It's the devil's joke. No bettor
woman than my wife ever lived."
It wus indeed the devil's joke that
put an unfortunate wife in her grave,
that will euevitahly send O'Prlen to
the electric chair or to imprisonment
for life, that makes his three children
fatherless.
The devil plays these jokes on
humanity It Is the devil of whiskey,
and he plays his jokes every duy iu
every big city, and iu every little Til
lage of the world.
Sometimes his jokes lead to murder,
sometimes to theft, and other crimes.
They always lead to disgrace of some
kind.
