Liveii Ubgulator, the "Kino op
Liver Medicines?" Everybody needa
take a liver remedy. It is a aluegish or
diseased liver tliat impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poinons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to s
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Mnlaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole sys
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is butter than Pills. It
does not grijje, nor weaken, but greatly

DON'T SHOOT THE BIRDS
SEASON NOT OPEN TILL,
September t, But Deer May Now bt
Slain. Mongolian Pheas-
ants Are Big
and Fat.
Sportsmen are fretting a good deal
over the fact that still another
thirty days must elapse before they
can get a whack at the upland game
birds. Report says that Mongolian
pheasants are big and fat, and so num
erous that one has to be careful in
driving along the country roads not to
run over them. Last year the Mason
opened on August 1, but that was
thought to be too early, and another
month was racked on at the earnest
solicitation of sportmeu. Now they
think (hey made a mistnke, and wish
they had not put off the killing sea
son further than August IS. But they
have to stand it; that is, the eity sport
men must. The country shooters can
better afford to take the chancas of en
joying a stolen hat of game.
The deer hunting season opened on
August I, but thus far there has not
been much of a rush of hunters from
the city. The slaughter of deer has
been so greal by the hide and pothun
ters during recent years that it is not
an easy undertaking to reacb a local
ity where deer may be hunted with
some chances of success. Then the
beat is a Utile to intense as yet to
make stalking pleasant work. After
the dog days are over a man may
expect to keep hi shirt and powder dry
while packing a heavy gun and other
equipments over hill and dale through
tangled woods. But within a lort
nlght It Is probable that the markets
will he full of venison. Nearly al
ways at this season of the year Eastern
hunting parties may be expected, and
they usually set a puce which local
sportsmen are oh iced to follow r lose
the best of the hunting season.
Game Protector McQuire will have
his hands full if he expects tn
protect upland birds during the next
mouth, fje lias been very busy all
summer with the salmon, but now
that Jude Bellinger has decided that
his labor Is no longer valuable, be will
put in his time bunting down the so
called "sportsman" who has no re-,
spect for the laws of the state. He lias
already iu his possession a bugh stack
of complaints from many valley points
and has appointed deputies in many
localities to look after the state's inter
ests. If there Is any merit In (be
present law.for the ptotection of game,
it will at least be given a fair test.
Nothing can be accomplished without
the support of true sportsmen, who
are wlllfng to use every effort to up
hold the law.
The real status of the game laws and
an endmeiits passed at the last session
of the legislature is not f ally under
stood here, as It has been impossible to
secure a ropy fro n (he state printing
office at Salem. Several local sports
men have s ut in applications for cop
ies, but up to date not a single appli
cation has been f)ed Oregonlan.
A Suggestion.
To Editor Express:
Will you kindly allow me a few
nes ofsay In your columns? I was
in Albany yetrdy ft fact not at all
alarming. But a "smash up" In these
times when salaries, verily, afe small
is lint at all the pleasant thing. I
shall not detail the tragic scene on
Fifl apd Lion, but simply want to
make an open uggestoi to the man
agement of Albany's inter-street trunk
line. By way of Introduction, I want
tosav (hat atew limes I have patro
nised the enterprise, and will do so
again if they will spare my life.
With this Bmd promise, let 1)16 pro
ceed to the suggestion: picas top your

he companies have brought mer
chandise from San Francisco Into the
Willamette valley at rates much lower
than the Southern Pacific. They have
even in some cases brought it to Poit
laiid, and then by river steamer to
points up the valley ns fur as Corvallis
al rates lower than those of the South
ern Paciflo from Portland to these
points.
The steamers running into Yaquina
bave brought merchandise to that
port aud by 0. C. & E. road to Al
bany. In this way Corvallis, Al
bany, aud nearly all valley towns
have been almost wholly supplied.
Freight has been taken from Corvallis
to Eugene by teams cheaper than the
Southern Pacific could bring It from
San Franclsio.
For a ong time they have looked on
and seen this territory Invaded and
have done nothing Now they have
acted, and In a Dinner that is declared
will startal the opposition companies.
Competition is the life of trade and
there is likely to be some lively compe
tition for the business of the Willa
mette Valley, which will result In
cheap freight rates. The reduction oil
the Suutheru Pacific does not apply to
hauls between intermediate points,
but the 0. C. A E. management con
template building branch lines
through the valley, both north and
south from Albany, unless satisfactory
rates are given over the Southern
Pacific front Albany. Their short
ocean route n aln Hue extended into
Eastern Oregon, and these branches
built, will give the 0. C. A E. the key
to the situation and will enable this
road to be a successful competitor for
traffic in lioth Western and Eastern
Oregon. "
Wholesale Capture of Deer Hides,
Herman Metzgar has been arrested
in Portland for having in bis posses
sion a quantity of deer hides contrary
to taw. Game Protector McGulre
found in Metzgar's warehouse six big
bales of deer skins, about 800 skins in
all, neatly packed in wool and counter
felted, to represent sheep skins. The
hides were shipped there from Oak
land, by a Mr. Young, a merchant, for
whom a warrant has also been Issued
A few arrests of this kind, followed by
conviction and punishment, will pre
hapa stop the wanton slaughter of deer
for their hides.

AB&OLUTEI.Y PURE
EIGHT YEARS AFTER
GEORGE UPTON ARRESTED
At Astoria, For an Old Crime. He
Brutally Murdered a Rancher on
theClatskanieRiverina -Spirit
of Revenge.
ASTORIA, Or., Aug. a.-George
Upton was arrested by Chief of Pullee
Loughery this afternoou for the mur
of William De Journctte, which occur
red ot McQrau'8 Itiiuiitij;, ou the Clat-
skanie nearly eight years ago. Upton
had lus trutik checked aud was ready
to leave for P ortland on the evening
boat, when he was arrested by the
chief in Wilson's saloon. Since the
murder, Upton has evaded the offlceij
who, on several occasiqne, got
an inkling of his whereabouts, but
Upton always managed to give them
the slip. He was last seen in this ottv
two years ago. The officers were In
informed, but when they searched for
him, he could not be found. It is
thought that during the past two
years he has been in California. The
history of the crime he Is charged with
is follows:
About six o'clock the evening of
Friday, August 12, 1887, George Upton
entered the dwelling of William 0,
batter, on the Clalskame, and an
nounced that he Intended to kill the
entire household and then kill him
self. Then he began shooting. Two
snots were aimed Willi good effect at
De Journette, the last one striking
him near the temple and producing
death almost Instantly. This emptied
the revolver, and Upton, who had
brought a supply of ammunition, then
refilled his weapon with the Intention
of killing Mrs. De Journette, but
when he pulled the trigger, the ham
mer did not work, the spring evidently
having been broken with tlie la,t shot.
He beat the wornan. over the head
with the revovlver, threw her to the
floor and kicked, her uutil she was
covered with bruises from head to
foot.
He thefl left the house and madehla
escape in a small boat. Upton's mo
tive for the deed was revenge. He
wonted Mrs. De Journette to desert
her husband and and live with him,
which she declined to do, and was up
held in this notion by her husband.
Upton is a square shouldered, well
built, man, of ahsjit forty-eight years
of age, aud has a somewhat sallow
complexion. He Ib a ready talker and
easy to engage in conversation,
Will Draw their Salaries.
SALEM, Aug. 5. In the supreme
court today In the case of Jumea B,
Eddy respondent, vs H. R. Klneaid,
secretary of state, appellant, appeal
from Marlon comity, Judgment of tit -lower
court was affirmed. Opinion by
Bean, J.
This decision will require the secre
tary of state to pay the railroad com
missioners their salary, lis the supreme
court holds that t lie legislature having
failed to repeal the law, It Is still valid,
notwithstanding the fact that the
legislature did lint elect railroad com
missioners. The old couimlssioiiei's
will now hold ufiloe and draw their
salaries at least until the next legisla
ture meets. This decision was not un
expected, ns attorneys generally have
conceded that the law is valid, aud
the only remedy is to repoal It.
