We are (nfuruied that the ordinance
taxing all tutertelnmeute to which ad
mission Is charged, was passed to
or ret an abuse that had become quite
commou. The claim Is made that va
rious lectures and others would give
their entertaiuments at some church
to avoid the tax, and would give the
church a small percentage of the pro
ceeds, pocketing the great bulk of the
receipts themselves. In this way the
city wai denied its lawful income, and
ii church was but poorly recom
pensed. For these reasons, the law
was wade. It was not the Intention to
require the tax from entertainments
given Bolely by home enterprise.
By some mlsiinderstandltr; the Pub
lic School entertainment was
taxed, but the council will
refund the money. Nevertheless, it
was hardly necessary that the whole
thing should be published in the
Oregoniau without giving the real in
tent of the council in these waiters.
Our little home affairs should he
settled among ourselves, withou t pub
lishing to the world an article thut
reflects upon our wisdom and our
oharlty. Members of the council
express this purpose ef changing the
ordinance so at to prevent future mis
understandings, and then theieafter
such entertainments will not be taxed,
The mayor says this matter will be
properly adjusted. A. Z.

There Is
more Calarrh in this section of the- country
than all other diseases put together, ami
until the last few years was supposed to te
incurable. For a treat many years doctors
pronounced it a lucal disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to euro with local treatment, pro
nounced it Incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to he a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hail's Calarrh Cure, manufactured by
P. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally In doses from 10
drops to a teasioonful. It acts directly on
