(Continued from Fag 1.) lain Bauer and Father Moore were drawing $25 a month each from the penitentiary and $25 from the reform school. They will continue to draw the latter, and will also continue to serve at the penitentiary and depend upon the legislature for an appropri ation. JteV. Bauer, who is a strong sympathizer with Governor West in his "honor system," will take the stump during the election for a bill to abolish capital 'punishment, and be paid by friends favoring this move ment. White seems to be down and out, and the same seems to be true with relation to the employes of the brick yard. Mrs. Curtis, who has been act ing as matron, and has had in charge Mrs. Carrie Kersch and Mrs. Elizabeth Vance, Is the wife of the warden. Mrs. Kersch will be made a nurse at the asylum, and Mrs. Vance, who was committed from Astoria, will be ja roled to friends In the state of Wash ington. AH for Economy. By eliminating these officers from the payroll the governor asserts that he will cut down expenses to the ex tent of $5000 for the remaining portion of his term, and with that cut, he de clares, that he will be able to keep within the' appropriation. He blames the legislature for cutting down the regular appropriation of the peniten tiary $10,000, declaring Its action made a deficiency necessary if the full force was retained. Ills administration, he boasted, would be free from deficien cies, and the proud boast he Intends to carry into execution, even If more drastic measures must be put Into ef fect, ho asserts. Ills Own Fault. While the governor assigns economy as his reason, but few are disposed to believe his story on the subject, and assert that, if it is true, that he, and not (he legislature Is to blame.

In his mid-winter madness, while vetoing all kinds of bills, the governor was ap pealed to not veto this one; but, shouting economy in the ears of all who approached him on the subject, and advising them In his positive way that, under his administration, such a thing as a deficiency would be Im possible, vigorously applied the veto axe to the bill. Those who favored the measure, and who believe that It should have been passed, and that West had no good reason for vetoing It, declare that the crippling of the penitentiary would not now be neces sary, even though a deficiency were staring it In the face. Honor System Did It. In addition, It Is asserted that James has not been In sympathy with the ''honor system," and the revolving fund plans of the governor and many so-called advance ideas, and that this deficiency excuse was hit upon as a neut plan to politely discharge him. I's a Full Pardon. It dovelops upon investigation that the governor, under the law, has not the power to suspend the superintend ent and not allow him to draw a sal ary, but that to accomplish this he must remove him. The suspension, therefore, can be taken in no other way thnn a discharge, and Governor West Indicated as much when he de clared that if the superintendent did not deBlre to comply with the condi tions he would have only one recourse left, and that was to quit. It also develops that the superin tendent alone has power to discharge other employes of the Institution, and that the governor had no authority to do this. The governor stated he had his doubts whether a superintendent was really needed, and, if It should de. velop that he was. not, that he would recommend that the legislature abol ish the office. He declared that he considered It 10c a Week you afford to be without it?

MAY RECALL THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR ' UNITED MESS Ti9U WIRE. London, May 2. The recall of James Bryce, British ambassador to the United States, who sailed yesterday from San Francisco for Australia aboard the liner Manuka, Is threatened tolay, according to reports here, as' the result of the publication of letters written by President Taft to Theodore Roosevelt, in which the president stated that, under the terms of the proposed reciprocity agreement with Canada, America would get much the I best of It. It Ib reported on the streets nere mat liryce has already been re called, but no verification of the ru mor was obtainable.- President Taft's letter, as published In the United States, will be brought up in the house of commons soon, and I It Is expected that some action con icernlng Bryce's recall will be taken. The evening papers openly stnte Viat President Taft's advocacy of the trea ty, when he knew that the United States would be getting much the bet ter of the bargain, was, to say the least, an "unfriendly act."

A WOMAN'S GOOD LOOKS Depend on her general health and freedom from pain. Many a woman looks old before her time beoause of those irregularities which are essentially feminine. Starting- from early womanhood, she luffers from frequently raournng deranfemente that upset her womanly health. If she be beautiful she grow, into that mellow ate without wrinkles and crowfeet about the eyes or the blue circles underneath. It is invariably the rule that such women suffer little, or not at all, from womanly derangements which sap the health and leave in the face the tell-tale story of pain and suffering. Dr.R.V. Pierce.the famous specialist in the diseases of women, found a prescription in his early practice that soothed the organism peouliar to womanhood-oiled the machinery, as it were, of the human system-and helped the woman to pass those painful periods that scar-lined and aged her face. This remedy became it , II- I: k7.wA.iu Pr.iirmhnn that nun Has. Pierce. No. 58.
