REFERENDUM ON LEWIS AND
CLARK 1 FAIR , BILL. , LACKED
(vl'o iiui BtnviTtrnM WHILE
PETITIONS UPON OTHER BIlXS
WERE NOT FILED,
Thursday, , May 21st, has come and
rm, and so have all the chances c?
-possibility of the referendum being in
voked upon any bills which were ss
ed by the last Legislature. All danger
from this source was passed after ; 5
o'clock, last evening when the time for
the 6Mngjpf petitions with, the Secre
tary of State expired, as provide J by
law. f
Yesterday there were only three nit'.
tiona filed for the referendum on the
Lewis and Clark Fair Bill, containing
an aKxreicate of 1I signatures of resi
dents of Multnomah, Lane, Marion and
Tillamook counties, and these. together
with the petitions filed heretofore, will
tring the total up to 5309 signatures,
lackina- over 400 signatures of being
one-fifth -per cent of the number of
votes cast at the last regular election
for Justice of the Supreme Court or
the required number sufficient to refef
the bill to a vote of the people. It hi
been said all along that the petitions
in circulation among the unions of
Portland bore upward of 6000 names
and that1 It was Intended to Ale thes
petitions before the hour of expiration
last evening, but whether the signa
tures were really In existence as repre
sented or whether the whole movement
upcn the part of the Portland- unions
was p bluff to force the employers of
Portland to accede to their demands Us
not fcrown. at any rate the petition
did not put In an' appearance artd'lt 1
still a matter of conjecture. " And now
the Lewis and Clark Fair is A nettled
fact, for the bill' has now become a
law and Is in full force and effect.
As to the leferendum on. the, Portage
Railway I Bill, the Exemption Amend
ment Act, and the Corporation Tax
Bill, there was hot la' petMion filed for
record. V. C. Cowglll, of Baker City,
who has had full charge of the matter
of circulating the petitions upon these
bills and has been having all thi peti
tions forwarded to him here, after they
were all in and the signatures countel
yet-terday, found that he did not have
erougb to cause any of the bills to be
referred and did not take the trouble
nor go to the expense of filing them,
eo he bundled them all up and took his
departure for Portland on the after
noon tralnyesterday. He has been
working! very assldlously for the pfst
six weeks In his efforts to invoke the
referendum Upon those bills which he
regarded as being altogether too unjust
in thelrf respective provisions and his
disappointment was .- immeasurably
keen when he 'came to a realization of
the failure. V
The final count upon his' petitions
revealed, that there had been only lfc$0
signers to the petition for the referen
dum upon the Exemption Tax Act, 3.23
on the Corporation Tax Bill, and 4100
to the Portage Bail way - BUI. Wheni
seen before taking his departure frwna

the day the President was here so him
and the crowd could read It' and laugh.

Now, Prof, I told the other teachers
all the time them ; lectures of yourn
would make trouble. You are all right,
but I mistrusted, her at the time and I
could see you were afeard of her, too.
Try to atop her. i j .
I know you are not'mad. because ypU
said you would not be. You said you
guaranteed satisfaction in every case.
but of course you forgot ' about her
when you said that.
Prof,- you know when you were here
everything was fair and square.
You was giving some lectures in sets
six in a. set Prof, and you said they
come at $300 a set, but as we was the
most intelligent body-of teachers you
had ever saw, you 'would come down
considerable, and money back if you
want it. You would not , break a set.
so we had to take a whole set or none.
But you bad a single one left over that
you kindly offered : free if we would
take it, so we all set down and took it,
and then you asked us to put i our
names down for a full set and we didn't
put Our names down, and now the dick
ens is to pay. I told all the other
teachers.-we had better sign, and now
they see where we are at. Of course
you are not mad, cause we was all

Claim - -'
SDC HUNDRED PEOPLE : WERE
PRESENT TO WITNESS THE
CONTEST YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON SALEM LEAGUE TEAM
GOES TO EUGENE TOMORROW.
The occasional showers yesterday af
ternoon did not drown the enthusiasm
of the baseball fans, and f 09 people
witnessed the contest between the ga
lena League and the Silverton teams,
at the C- A. A. C. Park, on Asylum
avenu.e.1 ? The vlaltihg team did not
prove the formidable foe that had been
promised, but afforded the Raglans a
good practice game. The score was
not so bad, S to 1, in, favor of Salem,
but ha4 the home team bean doubtful
of the result tho od.da oM have been
placed at a higher figure. "Southoaw
Lucas pitched the first five innings of
the game for the Raglans, during 'which
he fanned out nine of the visitors. Tii
was good work, considering the ' fact
that it was Lucas first turn In the box
this season. Old Sam - Morris -olflcl-ated
during the last three innings and
added six more to the list of fan-out.
A, Jerman. the twirler for the visitors,
also did good work In the box, and
struoJc -out six men during the' eight
innings, the Raglans retiring with one
Inning to their credit. 1
-SI Davis, who was the first Raglan
tor wield the willow, decorated his col
umn of credit marks with a three -base
hIL This was the longest drive so far
made on the , new diamond, the v ball
finding lodgement In the northwest cor
ner of the enclosure. The star t play of
the day w,as made by Downey when he
fielded a difficult fly batted by Hud
dleson. The only safe hit made by the
Silvertons during the entire game was
in the first half of the ninth Inning,
when Wolf ord i succeeded -in finding
Morris, and landed safely on, first.
: The visiting team was made up en
tirely of Silverton . players, as they were
unable to draw on the ML Angel nine,
that team having departed on Wednes
day for a tour of Eastern Oregon. The
aggregation! was entirely too weak for
Salem's League team, although there
were several first class ball players
among the visitors. , r
K Fred Boss, who was to play his Ini
tial game with the Raglans yesterday,
failed to make train connection, and
did not arrive in time to participate in
the contest. However, he came in on
the afternoon overland train and Will
be ready to Join: the team when it de
parts fori Eugene tomorrow morning.
Ed McFarland, of Oregon City, was
taken ill. and consequently . was ' also
unable to get here. . '
The Raglass will leave on the 11
o'clock'. -train.; tomorrow morning fori
Eugene, .where they will , cross .bats
with the Nobles : tomorrow afternoon
and Sunday.; The Eugene Register,
commenting upon these games, says:
, "Directors of the loca League club
met in the Armory' Tuesday evenl.ig
end transacted business of- importart re.
"Buck Starr was appointed captain
of the squad-and will virtually assume
control of the men, ? thereby taking
much responsibility off the shoulders
of Manager Griffin.' '' ;
, ' "Hartley " nd Lorirner have closed ,
with the team, but two good men have
been secured to take their places and'
the : personnel will' bo strengthened In
readiness for the forthcoming games.. 1
"The complacent and self-satisfled
air in which Buck and Charles' discus
local baseball affairs causes fans - to
exult over the prospects, for it looks
as thought they have something up
their sleeves for Saturday and Sunday.
At any rate, the patrons of the game
may confidently look forward to rat
tling exhibitions of the sport." "

The woman who suf

suffers almost continu

She has pains in the
back, what she call
stitche la the side
and shooting pains ev-
where. - She experiences
burning and dragging
down sensations. - She
becomes weak, nervous
and despondent. If she
consults the average phy
sician, there is. not one
chance in ten that he will
hit upon the real cause of
her trouble. He will at
tribute her bad feelings
to stomach, liver, heart or nervous
trouble. A woman in this condition
should consult ' some : eminent and
skilf nl specialist who' ha had -a wide
experience; Dr. R. V. Pierce, ft
thirty years chief consulting physi
cian to the Invalids Hotel ana Sur
gical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has,
with the assistance of a staff of able
physicians, prescribed for many thou
sands nf women. ' Ha rased most
frequently a wonderM medicine for
ailing women, which he afterward
put up in ready -to -use form and
called it Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It ha stood the test for
thirty years. It acts directly on the
delicate and important organs con
cerned in wifehood aud motherhood,
making them strong and well. U
allays inflammation, heals ulceration,
soothes pain and tones and builds
up the nerves. It transforms weak,
nervous women into healthy, haptv
wives and mothers.

We also advise all women who us I
fer great pain at each recurring period I
to take a good vegetable laxative, sach
as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, just
previous to this time, as constipation
is usually an aggravating feature of
the trouble. .
Don't allow the druggist to sell yon
something "just as good," because
it's cheaper. The cheap kind has not
the thousands of cures to its credit
that Dr. Pierce's medicine has.

v "I was back in my old home
when your letter came. I wKl
try and explain regarding the
good I received from your medi
cines. For over one year I suf
fered .from what my physician
pronounced womb trouble. Had
doctored with doctors in the east
and also in the west -but found
only temporary relief. The next
tinie of my sickness I found my
self no better, and in that way it
kept going on from time to time
until I became discouraged. I
finally resolved to write you for
advice. I purchased two bottles
of " Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription, two vials of his Pleas
ant Pellets, and by using only
that small quantity I have found
wonderful relief, I say to all
who are suffering from troubles
similar to mine that it is unnec
essary to be sick when one can
use Dr. Pierce's remedies. w

oously since its advent on the llvlna-
Hoor of the President's private quarter
by' means of the elevator, today dashel
up Pennsylvania avenue wun Arcni
bald sitting astride of Its back, a ver
itable picture l" miniature of the
President himself. The avenue waa
crowded with people on Sunday parade
when, tearing up the avenue, rame thj
President's youngest son astride of the
pony, and wearing a big rough riders
hat of white felt, a black sweater with
bands of red at the wrist and neck, a
pair of ' corduroy trouaers tucked lnt-
yellow riding boots and a, swirl ann
dash of the whip with every movement
of the pony.
Close behind him came the Presi
dent's footman. Black Charles, a nearo
of .short stature, doubled up on a bt-
cycle and riding far beyond the spe?d
l.mit on the city streets. Every on
stopped to watch the riders, and
young - Roosevelt was perfectly aware
of -the sensation he. was treating and
smiled as he went. -
Just a little later the people at the
corner of Fifteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue were surprised to see!
a young girl of 10 or 12 years, wear
ing a plain white sailor suit, dash
along the street In a fearless mannerl
on, a horse and up to the curb befoivl
a drug store, when she alighted with
the agility of a cat to the pavement;
and "ran into the store for soda wnter.
This was Ethel Roosevelt. Behind
her, and wholly unable to keep within
proper distance to be of assistance
should an accident befall her, was th
President's footman. Ethel frequently
rides down the business streets ftf
Washington, flying along like a great
white bird, her yellow hair blowing
about under her sailor hat and red
youth and health In her cheeks. When
these children first came to the White
House they were shy In public, but
row are as much at-home in the
crowded thoroughfares, where they
arc the center of attraction, as-, they
wtre at Oyster Bay In their own back
yard. Chicago Record-Herald.
