A Most Remarkable
Cure of Heart Disease
; (Albany Democrat.) j
Perhaps one of the most wonderful
results on record is the wonderful cure
of Mrs. S.K. Clark by electricity and
medicines' administered by Dr. Darrin.
Mrs. Clark was carried to Dr. Darrin's
office In an almost dying condition, af
flicted with a complication of diseases.
Here are her own words: '
Uklah. Ore. To the Editor: My
health began to fail over a year ago.
I gradually fell away until I became
very weak. I was suffering from
heart, lung and stomach troubles. On
the 24th of December, 1897, I went to
Pendleton and. put myself under Dr.
Darrlns treatment by electricity and
medicines, and began to Improve from
the first treatment and continued to
Improve. At the. present time I have
good health. My neighbors say they
never. exrected to see roe return from
Pendleton, -and were greatly surprised
t my recovery. MRS, S. E. CLARK.
; SIX YEARS LATER. ;
. Ukiah. Ore Dr Darrin: I am en
Joying good health, have gained over
20 pounds in the past, six years. .1 feel
entirely cured, and very grateful ln
ileed to he good health, after years
! if . suffering with, heart, stomach and
lung troubles; also diseases peculiar
to women. I cannot praise , you too
h'ghly. Refer to me. '
, MRS. S. E. CLARK.
An Ashland Patient's Card.
Some time. ago. I contracted a se
vere" cold on the lungs, which - being
neglected became chronic. 'After vain
attempts' for relief 1 concluded It was
death or Arizona, , On learning of
Dr. Darrin, I consulted him. It Is
now . one month since placing myself
under his care, and I can truthfully
ay all morbid feeling has left my
lungs and I feel I am on the road to!
a permanent cure. X am now a Die
to work every day at nard' labor.
Furthermore, I will say In addition to
his medical and electrical sklU Dr.
Danin . Is a man. with a great human
heart, and - is , unusually reasonable
In his charges. I know Mr. C Carey
of Sam's valley. Ore, before and after
his cure of almost total deafness. Re
fer to me at Ashland, Ore. ' wi
; : i EARL KLINE .
" Dr. Darrin's Place of Business.
Dr. Darrin la located at he Revere
hotel until August 1st. and will give
free examination to all from 10 to 5
of 7 to 8 daily. The poor free ex
cept medicine, ! to 1 11 daily, and
those able, to pay at the : rate of $5

SCHOOL BOARD
HELD MEETING

Vot& Cast for Director at the
1 General Election Was '
r Canvassed
V
THE BOARD WILL FINISH j THE
UNOCCUPIED ROOMS ; IN THE
PARK BUILDING TO. RELIEVE
CROWDED CONDITION SEVER
AL BILLS WERE AUDITED.
(From Thursday's Daily).
The board , of directors for. school
district No. 24 held an adjourned meet
ing at the office Of the clerk last even
ing. The vote cast for director at
the general election held on June 15
was canvassed, showing a total of 53
votes cast In the four Salem precincts,
all of which were casf for E. M. Cro
isan, who was declared duly elected.
After the vote was canvassed, Mr.
Croi8an took the oath of office and he
came a member of the board.
The board then proceeded to elect a
clerk to serve during the ensuing term,
and by a unanimous vote Joseph Baum
gartner was re-elected, his salary being
fixed at $150 per year.
The chairman appointed the follow
ing committees: ;
Finance Committee W. H. Byrd, E.
M. Croisan. ' ; . ..3 . -.
Supply Committee H. C. Fletcher, A.
O. Condi t. i
Insurance Committee E. M. Crolsan,
II. C. Fletcher.
An outstanding note, numbered 44,
for the amount of $350, was called in
for redemption. ; ' ' '.
M. S. Skiff was awarded the contract
for furnishing oak wood to the North.
East, Park and, Lincoln school build
ings, at, the rate of $4.50 per cord, a
total, of 27 cords to be furnished.
The board has for some time been
considering the matter of .erecting -a
new Central school building to take
the place of the old buildings at the
corner of High and Marlon streets,
which are inadequate to accommodate
the rapidly" Increasing attendance.
However,; after due consideration .'At
was 4 thought advisable to first finish
the two unoccupied rooms on ,the -second
floor of the Yew Park school build
ing, and this will be done before the
open:ng of the fall term. There are
four rooms on either floor, two of which
have been occupied, but the other two
never having been completed. The
addition of these two rooms will re
lieve the crowded condition of the Sa
lem schools to a - considerable extent,
and will probably add elf the room re
quired for the next year or two.
Before adjournment of the board the
following bills against the district were
audited and ordered paid;

Su-h was the experience of Mrs. S. H.
Newson. Iecatur, Ala. "For three
years." she writes. I endured Insuffer

and bowel trouble. Death seemed in
evitable when doctors and fH reme

Kinney, general Immigration agent of
the Harrirnan lines, who Is-loca ted at
99 Dearborn street, Chicago, was In
Salem yesterday, accompanied by John
P. Jones, traveling passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific ;
Mr. Shultz is making a tour of Ore
gon,' in order Co the better post him
self upon the advantages and re
sources of all the different localities of,
the state. : He Is av lecturer on Oregon
throughout the state of Illinois. Wis
consin. Minnesota and " the Dakota.
He spends the summer months lectur-
inlg! In the open air and in halls, using
stereoptlcon views, and In the "winter
he lectures In churches and, halls. ,Mr.
Shultz has been at this work for a.year
and he declares that It has only just
got a good start, There are five men
doing the same kind of work he is do
ing, traveling out of the Chicago office
besides a small army doing different
kinds of work with the same end
turning people to Oregon. Mr. Shults
believes that when the low rates go in
to effect again this fall the railroads
will scarcely be able 'to handle the pas
sengers bound to this section. And
this work will be kept up Indefinitely.
It has been scarcely . more i than pros
pecting heretof6re.
Mr. Shultz arrived in Oregon on last
Friday, and he was accompanied by u,
party of '250 immigrant's There is a
party of forty-three now ready to
start from Wisconsin.
Mr. Shultz does , his, strong work
among the Germans and ' Swedes, ho
speaking their languages. He alsp has
a fair understanding1 and command of
of the Polish, although hi? English Is
very good and is spoken without a
brogue. lie thinks the educated Ger
mans and the industrious Swedes are
among , the best Immigrants Oregon
can geti They are thrifty. They will
clear up the land, and they make ex
cellent citizens In every way. He says
also that there is a chsfnee to get thou
sands of dairymen from the? fields in
which he is working, specially from
Illinois, and they will come ' here-and
make money and help to builld up the
country. Tfiey know, their business,
and they will be pleased with the im
proved conditions here.
Mr.. Shultz says also there will be a
great many men coming to work in the
woods and the sawmills here, where
their labor Is needed, and. where they
will receive much higher . Wages than
tliey can get there, in some cases dou
ble the wages. . :
Work for Our People.
- Mr. Shults has personally distributed
thousands of the Salem circulars Sent
by the Greater Salem CommeVcIal Club
and It is one of the most attractive of
all the different pieces of literature
from Oregon. He says the Harrirnan
people ' will send the f Immigrants.
.' What they want Oregon to do Is to
take care of them after they arrive and
treat them right. In this way the
Willamette valley will be filled up un
til there 1s room forno more, and that
means hundreds of thousands of new
people. There Is room for them, and
they are going to come.
BABY BOY DROWNED
LITTLE EARL VERMEHREN FELL
INTO'A CESSPOOL YESTER
PAY MORNING.
Portland. June 24. Earl Vermeh
rcn, the - little son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Vermehren, of 732 Missouri
avenue, was acidentally drowned this
morning about 7:30 o'clock In an old
cesspool behind the shed. The boy
was 1 year and 2 months old, and this
morning, while its parents were at the
table, the little fellow kept asking to
go but in the ward to play.
; Finally he was permitted to do so.
The yard Is securely fenced Jn, and the
child had no means of getting out,
so the parents considered It was safe.
In one corner of the lot Is a shed, and
behind this there is an unused -cesspool.
The shed door is cautiously kept
closed to keep the children out, but
some, way or another little Earl got
In there and fell Into the cesspool.
Found 'After Long Search.
Ills mother missed him and searched
the premises In vain. Finally she
sent for the father, who works at the
O. R. St. N. roundhouse at Albina, and
he. ( fearing that the child might have
fallen Intq the) cesspool, removed the
cover and . there found the boy dead.
Dcpu t y Coroner A. L. Kin ley was called
and decided that an Inquest;-was not
necessary.

CIVIL ACTION TRIED BY JURY IN
THE JUSTICE COURT ; ;
YESTERDAY.
(From Thursday's Daily).
The case of H. IL Smith, plaintiff, vs.
U. S. Rider, came up for trial in Justice
of the Peace E. D.' Horg!n's cobrC '
yesterday." The case was called at 10
o'clock in the . morning: but after Se
curing a jury the court adjourned un
til 2 o'clock p. m. The Jury chosen con-
slstcd of the following representative ',
business iiien: Fred SteuPloff,- A. N.'
Gilbert. Walter Morley, Hal patton.
Thomas Kay and Mr. Bredemeier.
The case was a hard fought legal
battle, the attorneys closely contesting .
every point, and a great deal of testi
mony was Introduced by each skle, and
it was not untir 5: 30 o'clock that Justice'.
1 1 organ finally charged the jury, and
they went out for. their deliberation.
The suit was an action for money.- Ill '
H. Smith,' the plaintiff, holding two .
notes against U. S. Rider, of the face'
value of $34.19 each, and dated October
9, 1900. .
Turner and ; Inman appeared as at
torneys for the defendant," and set up
that Rider did not intend to sign the
notes, which were given as payment for
premiums on an insurance policy; that
plaintiff frequently approached, him at
the U. S. tiostoffice, where he was em- ,
ployed, and endeavored to Interest hi in "
In Insurance, and finally1 one day he
was busily engaged attending his du
ties when he was . approached by
Smith, who offered to. write an applica
tion for a policy, and when'lt Was re
ceived. If not Satisfactory, the defend
ant might have the privilege of rcfus-
Ing It. It was alleged that Rider has- .
tily signed the application, and also the
two notes, not knowing that he did so, '
and when the policy arrived he did not
feel able to accept it and so returned It; 1
to the company. ', . . ,
The plaintiff, through his attorneys, -L.
K. Adams ' and I. H. an Winkle,
claimed that the defense was a misre
presentation of the facts, and that the
defendant knowingly, signed . the notes -and
afterward w-as examined: ss to his
phyeieal fitness, by Dr. W. H. Byrd.
"The plaintiff demanded Judgment on .
the notes, together with the accrued
interest thereon. $40 attorneys Tees, and,
for the costs and disbursements of tha
action. " ?
The Jury was out for about one and
a half hours, deliberating on the merits
of the cafe, and finally returned a ver- '
diet for the 'plaintiff in the sum of $15.
together with $20 attorneys fees, and
for the costs and -disbursements of the'
action.
The verdict did not appear to oallsfy ,
either party to the: case, ,as the ques
tion at issue was whether or not the,
notes were a Just debt, and the Justice
charged the Jury that the verdict. must
be for. the amount asked by the plain
tiff, or in favor of the defendant.
The defendant's attorneys. Turner'.
Inman. announced, that they would de-
niand.a review' of the caso In Judge
Boise's department of the ctrcuit'eourt.
; His Last Hope Realized.
(From the Sentinel. Gebo. Mont.) -In
the first opening of Oklahoma to
sctllers lu l88D,' tfie editor of this pa
ler was among the many seekers after,
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his traveling,
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much : bad
water, whlch,t together with the severe
heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea, ,
which it seemed almost Impossible to
Check,1 and along in June the case be
came so bad he expected to die.' One
day one of his neighbors brought him '
one. small bottle of Chamberlain's Col- ,
lc Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A hlg dose was given him
whire he was rolling about on : the
ground In great agony, and In a- few'1
minutes the dose was repealed. Th?- .
good effeot Of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle work-
ed a complete cure, and he cannot help
but feel grateful. The , season for
