were similar reports previously, one
Bide op the other followed them with a
coneilinttiry move.
The consensus of opinion was that
physical participation by the ("nited
Hales on the side of the allies would
be undesirable because it would cut
off -a source of nmmnitioii supplies but
tlic papers agreed that moral partici
pation would be of great value, how
ever. Amsterdam dispatches said prices on
the Berlin bourse dropped heavily on
reports that n break is impending
Several Berlin paper? were said to
have pointed out that a break in diplo
matic relations would probably be fol
lowed by war; and they expressed the
hope that the government would con
sider where the nation is drifting.
Renewed Decline In
New York Market
(Copyright l!U(l by the Xew York
Evening t'ost.)
New York, Feb. 5. (Something of
the perplexity with which everyone
was impressed nt conflicting state
ments from Berlin and Washington re
garding the latest Gorman nttitude to
ward America, was reflected in the
Htock market today. The renewed de
cline during the early trading ex
pressed one view; the sharp recovery
after a half hour of weakness ex
pressed the other, while the uncertain
movement afterward suggested the in
ability of the market to discover what
the position actually was.
The Street, however, remembered
that there is abundant precedent for
Berlin to announce that she has gone
Berlin to announce that she has gone
as far as possible in concessions, and
then go considerably farther.

.Portland. OrJ Feb. 5. Charles B.
I'fahlev aged 70, former, secretary to
' Bishop Scadding, xif tho Episcopal
j diocese of Oregon, ras arrested by
I sheriff lliirlburt today on complaint
J of Bishop Walter T. Summer. Pfahler
I is charged with having destroyed the
books and records of the diocese ini;
nreilintelv after the death of Bishop
Scudding.
Pfnhler collapsed when arrested and
was in such serious condition that he
could not be taken to the county jail
immediately. He admitted ' destroying
the records. He did it, he said, in the
mist of grief over the death of his wife
and the subsequent death of the bishop.
Soon after Bishop Sumner succeeded
to the vacancy caused by the death of
Bishop S.adding, Pfnhler disappeared,
and then it was learned that the
records had been destroyed. Pfahler
returned recently from California. In
the absence of the records it is impos
sible to determine if all the church
moncv ha been accounted for.

Dr. J.W.Smith Talked
On Feeble-Ninded Problem
at City Library Last Night
Dr. J. X. Smith, superintendent of
the state institution lor the leeulc
minded, expressed several advanced
views on the feeble minded proposition,
in his address last evening at the citv
tilM-nrv
One of his radical suggestions, and
one that lias the support of all physi-
xluo to flint if for. I,!.-. n,;t.wl ,,n,,.l,
were not permitted to marry, feeble
. i . i . , , i . ' . ,
iniuueuuess wouia uisappear within
two ironerilt ions
Iii discussing the criminal side of the
question, in. fnntn stmt that one-halt
of the expenses of the criminal courts
were incurred in trying cases of pettv
thievery, committed by the feeble
minded. Sustaining his position regarding the
marriage of the feeble minded, he cited
the fact that fully SO per cent of feeble
mindedness is hereditary. A person may
become feeble minded due to pneumonia
or alcohol, but their nicntul nnml;,;,,
would not be transmitted to their chil
dren. Those who are bora with feeble
minds, transmit them invariablv to
their children.
Dr. Smith suggested a romedv that
has been attracting the attention of
severnl eastern states, one that has
caused much diverse discussion, that of
the sterilization of the insane. Feeble
minded people generally have large
families.
The present method of handling the
insane is very unsatisfactorv and an
pears to be making it worse. vlullT
the present system, children can be
taken away, and are not committed
there seems to be no system of commit,
ment. similar to that of the state hos
pital, and patients come and go at their
will.
Another statement which indicates
that the feeble minded proposition has
not been handled inlelligeiitlv, is the
tact that feeble mindedness is becoming
more prevalent than in former times
possibly due to the fact that formerly
the weak minded died from lack of care.
The lecture was interesting through,
out. and indicated that the doctor had
been a student of this all important
question, one that will eventually have
to be met by legislators within the next
few vears.

his way toward mo in the automobile,
he was seized by a policeman.
"Not knowing what I did, I drew my

formation can b given by this office.
We' would suggest to parties interested
to watch the daily papers, as what
ever action Congress may take will be
given therein before this office has
official information thereon to give
out.
Based on the list of lands given in
the decree of the court, tho approxi
mate acreage of unsold railroad lands
in the several counties of this district,
nt the tithe tho suit was instituted,
was as follows:
Lincoln, 2010; Benton, 27710; Linn,
11020; Lane, ,'100,110; Douglas, 007,
.100; Coos, 100,020-,. Curry, StOO; Jose
phine, 172,400; Jackson, 44-1,500;
Klamath. 13,440. Total, 1,090,32(1.
In addition to the above lands tliere
are other railroad lauds in several of
the counties named, that at the time
tho suit was instituted were unsur
veyed, and hence not included in the
list given in the suit, but coming as
well under the decree. The approxi
mate areas of such lands are as fol
lows: Coos, 15,000; Douglas, fi.l.OOO;
Josephine, 1700; Curry, 15,000; Jack
son, 20,0110,
There is still a certain amount of
iinsurvcyed railroad lands in several
of the counties, namely. Curry, Douglas
and Josephine. These lands when sur
veyed will- come under whatever plun
of disposition congress may provide.

1ARRY STOMACH JOY
IN YOURVEST POCKET
Daniel J. Fry Has Such Faith la This
Dyspepsia Remedy That He
Guarantees It.
One of the -greatest successes in the
sale of medicine has been achieved by
Mi-o-na, tho standard dyspepsia rem
edy, and its sale is increasing so rapid
ly that Daniel J. Fry, the popular drug
gist, has hard work to keep a stock on
hand. It is very popular with bankers,
ministers, lawyers aud olhera where
businoss or profession keeps them close
ly confined, while those who have
brought on indigestion through irreg
ular eating, worry, or other causes,
have found relief in this reliable
remedy.
Mi-o-na comes in tablet form and is
sold in a metal box especially designed
for convenience in carrying the medi
cine in the pocket or purse. It is pleas
ant to take, gives quick relief and
should help any case, no matter of how
long a standing. This remedy has been
so uniformly successful that Daniel J.
Fry will is future sell Mi-o-na umlbr a
positive guaranteo to refund the money
if it should pot prove entirely satis
factory. No other dyspepsia medicine
ever had a levgo enough percentage of
cures so that it could be sold in this
manner. A guarantee like this speaks
volumes for tho merit of the remedy.
Thcro is no time like the present to
do a thing that ought to be done. If
any one has dyspepsia, today is the best
time to begin curing it.
