This announce mont was mado today by Assistant District Attorney Gnns, nfter ho had a conferonco with Assistant District At torney Krotel, who is In chargo of tho concern. Mr. Krotol first camo into tho case when ho was assigned to prosecute Oharlcs If. Ahlo, who was arrested on complaint of Edwin M. Post, who charged that Ahlo attempted to black? mail hint. Post declared that Ahlo at tempted to compel him to subscribo $5000 for a book on Now York society. Ho alleges that Ahlo told him that a scandalous story Involving his name was in possession of a Now York weekly papor, but that it would not bo published if Post would subscribo for tho book. Tho mduey was paid to Ahlo in tho presence of detectives and his arrest followed. His case Is now awaiting tho action of tho grand jury, nnd Mr. Krotel has announced that several persons prominont in so ciety havo announced their willingness to join with, Mr. Post in tho prosecu tion. Tholr 'willingness to appear is conditional, howovor, on tho district attorney promising that no questions shall bo asked them concerning stories which they allege Ahlo mentioned when ho solicited their subscriptions.

"Boforo I began taking Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills," said Mrs. Reagan, rocontly, "I was in bed and out of bed all tho time, but now I stay up all day and work." "What was tho causo of your trou blot" she was asked. "I was badly run down from over work. Ono day noises began in my head and almost mado mo crazy. My hoad folt no if a tight band had been put around it, and tho pressuro and tho sounds mndo mo so uneasy that I often hnd to walk tho floor all night when I ought to hnve been sleeping." "Did you havo a doctor t" "Yes, I was under tho caro of a physician for Bomo time, but I finally gavo Id mi up because his -troatmont did mo no good, "My stomach wns In bnd shape, and I had smothering sensations At such times my body 'seemed bloodless, my hands woro like chalk, and my face turned yellow. Tho doctor said Iliad dyspepsia in tho worst form. Thon my nerves gavo way and I was conv pletoly prostrated. At night I could not sleep, nnd in tho day timo if I bont over to pick up a rug tho smoth ering sensation would come on nt once." "How did you find a rcmodyt" "After I hnd used many advertised medicines, wo read in tho paper about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo Poo pic, and my husband bought a1 box and insisted thnt I should take them. "Tho first box I used quiotcd my norvos bo that I could not a good night's sloop, "which was n now experionco for mo. Boforo I began to uso thorn I was n nervous wreck and trembled nt tho slightest sound. I was so weak that I had to b1 down and rest ovory fow steps when I wont up stairs.

Mrs. Mary Itoagan lives at 80 Kil burn Btrcet, Fall River, Mass., whoro Dr. Williams' Pink Pills aro a favor Ito remedy. These pills aro guaranteed to bo freo from stimulating or harm ful drugs of any description nnd mny bo tnken without foar of injury to tho most delleato system.

A Notable Number. Month nftor month for six yoors the Pacific Monthly has been forging steadily forward. So excellont have been somo of tho Issues that only tho most superlative adjectives could do justice to the excellence of tho pross work nnd tho high character of the magdzlne. It Is only fair to say, how evor, that in tho July number tho mngnzlno has reached a piano which might well bo envied by any twenty fivo or thirty-five-cent .magazine in the country. It Is ono of the wonders of raodorn progress that such an oxcollont magazine ns regards coler work, high grade illustrations and the general oharaeter of the reading matter can bo gotten up and sold for lOe. As a matter of faet, the ppor alone in this splendid July number Is worth from fifteen to twenty cents in each copy of the magazine. The papor used for a large part of this number is probably the heaviest which has yet appeared in any ten-cent magazine, and Its quality is the finest. From ev ery standpoint, the publishers have far surpassed all their previous at. ! tempts and have plaeod the magazine where it is not only a ereuu 10 iue coast and the entire west, but -will not suffer by compariBon with any maga zine published anywhere. WILLAMETTE WILL PLAY CALIFORNIA Football Team of Coming Season to Meet the "Real Thing" Manager Mark II. Savage, of tho Wlllamctto University football team, has announced thnt ho has scheduled games with tho University of Califor nia nnd Stnndford University. Thus for tho first timo in its history the old schvol will sond n team to California to see what they can do with tho hith orto undisputed champions of the Pa. cific coast. This is counted n great honor by Oregon nnd Washington tennis, and Willamette was successful in getting these dates through the ex cellent record mado by tho team last year. Stanford will bo met September 30, nnd California ono week later. Thcso dates aro very early for an Oregon team, but they wero tho best that could be had, so tho management will try to moke tho best of it, and will make n strong effort to have all tho candidates for positions on tho team hero and ready for prnctlco by Sep tember 15. That tho local university will havo a strong aggregation of players thoro can be no doubt, slnco all but ono of last year's men will bo back and In nddltion thcro will bo a number of now men who havo mado cnvinblo records in football in this and other states. The schedulo of games which has been arranged so fnr will bo the bost that has evor been played by a Wll lamctto team. It will includo games with the University of Oregon nnd tho Oregon Agricultural College, to bo played in this city: Multnomah Club In Portlnnd, and tho University of Wnshincton in Sonttlo. Efforts aro also being mndo to bring tho Pullman team to Snlom for tho Thanksgiving game. Tho Sherman Indians nro also in prospect, besides a number of prnc tico games.

In 1890 it was assumed by tho "sound money" ad voeutos that a great flnancior was tho very embodiment of patriotism, houor and business integrity, but this idol has been widely shattered. First camo tho shipbuilding trust investigation. That showed thnt a number of money magnatos formod n conspiracy to de colvo tho public and that 11 few of the conspirators formed an inner circle con spiracy to tako advantngo of the rest of tho conspirators. Thon onmo the Munroo & Munroo investigation. That showed that tho second vlco prosldont of tho largest bank in tho United Stntes was in a syndlonto formed to lloeco tho public through "wash sales." Then Lawson camo forward with his story Implicating tho presl. dont of tho lorgost hank and leading spirit of tho Standard Oil trust in a gigantic fraud. Following this tho Equitable squabblo brings to light a riot of criminal misuso of trust funds which has startled tho country. And during this porlod of investigation Miss Tarbell has given us a history of tho lawlessness of tho oil trust, Mr, Bus soil bns shown up tho methods of the beef trust, nnd tho interstate commerce commission has rovealed tho robate praotioea of the railroads. Hero we have bankers, railroad magnatos, pro moters, manufacturers and speculators all violng with oaoh other in tho use of methods whleh ofroud against both statute and moral law. What shall wo say of the business ethles of theso men who are actually engaged in ex ploitation or who lend their names to exploiters and draw salaries for doing notbingf When ono is condemned his defenso is that "others do the same" a defense offerod by tho president for not punishing one of his cabinet. Larceny is a comprehensive term and it applies as much to tho respectable thief who steals a largo amount by In direction as it does tp a professional pickpocket who pilfers on a small scale. Of all the rascality recently exposed nothing surpasses tho consqioncclcss transactions of those who Were in chnrgc of tho Equitable. Scarcely a day passes but some new form of em bezzlement is announced. Ono day wo learn that a coterie of directors mado thousands of dollars by" selling bonds to tho compnny sold to themselves. This was in' violation of tho law, and they are now returning tho monoy. Tho next dny wo learn of pensions nnd sal aries that represented no service. Thon wo find thnt tho officials rolsod their own salaries to enormous figures and taxed their personal expenses to tho company. What Is this but larceny! And now Mr. Morton nnnounccs n re form, and what is It f That directors will no longer be paid $25 per day when thoy do not attend. It seems that the dummy directors who did nothing when present but npprovo of reports which they did not exnmlno, wero drawing s)25 n day whether pres ent or not. What shall wo say of n lot of eminent business men who thus enriched themselves out of trust funds supposed to bo hold sacred for widows and children. " The thimblcrlggors nt n street fair arc engaged In more honornblo busi ness, for they cheat thoso who nro foolish enough to risk their monoy on n game known to bo dishonest, but these thimblcrlggcrs of high finnnco rub the helpless nnd tho dependents under tho gulso of doing an honest bus iness. Tho directors who know what was going on shared in tho crimes committed against policy holders tho directors who did not know what was going on wero scnrcely less criminal becnuso they woro sleeping sontlnols whoso watchful oyes would havo saved tho policy holders. It is timo to establish n higher eth ical standard among our flannnciors. A MEASURE OF MERIT. Salem Citizons Should Wolgk Well Thin Evldonco. Proof of morlt llos in tho ovidonco.

DEATH ON THE SALMON Golden Drift Dam Proves too Much for the Big Fellows Thousands Die A dispatch to the Oregonlnn from Grants Pass under date of July 10, says: That thero'sBomothing radically wrong with tho fish ladder constructed nt tho power dam of tho Golden Drift Mining Company, In nccordanco with plnns nnd ordors from tho Stnto Fish Warden, is tho contention of both tho Golden Drift management nnd tho pco jlo of this city. Hundreds of Bnlmon fall to mako tho ascent and ns many dio in tho nttompt. As a result, tho Roguo river, is strewn with dead fish. Their decay ing bodies poluto tho wator that sev eral thousand peoplo aro obliged to drink, as tho water supply for this city comes from tho Roguo. Standing on Roguo rlvor bridgo, this city, nt any timo of day, scores of dead sal mon can bo seen to float by. All along tho shores tho dead fish aro strewn, tho stench from them bolng nt places almost unbearable. Tho arrival of summer's heat makes condi tions far worso and increases tho dan ger of fever nnd disease as n result of tho polluted water. Manager Araont, of tho Golden Drift Compnny, is vhcld blameless, as ho says ho has compiled to tho letter in tho construction of a fishway for salmon. Tho ladder originally con structcd wns not consldorod largo enough by Stnto Fish Wnrdo Van Dusen, nnd a larger ono was built. This last fUhway is largor tlinu tho gov ernment! demnnded, but it is so con structed that tho salmon might hnvo ovory posslblo opportunity of ascend ing tho falls of tho 20-foot dam.

Ono of the prominent physicians In ottondnnco upon ho mooting of the National Medical Association at Port, land brought out tho following In hf address: "Asked to defino tho differ onco between a modlcnl man nnd n sur geon, ono of our lady friends said: 'A physician is oho thnt comes to seo yony fools your pulso with his gentle, ten dollar fingers, shakes tho dico to find out what Is tho matter, thon, pockothiR his fee, leaves you In as great uneer tainty as before his visit, and ns ho doubtless Is himself whllo tho surgeon Is ono that comes, puts his hundred-dollar knlfo into your inwards, takes oat ovorythiug that ho thinks ho has usa for", nnd then shakes the dlco to nscer tnln If recovery will follow, and not Infrequently comes back to search foe various tools left in your anatomy things that ho needs and you do not.
