A BAD SKIN DISEASE
lon Limb 5 Years. Bedridden 3
Years. Doctors and Medicines
Useless Feared Amputation.
Cured by Cuticura at Cost of SO. so
Now Does Her Own Work.
Wonderful Cure

I must write and tell you of the success I
have had in using the Cuticura Remedies.
I had been troubled for nearly five years
with skin disease in the right limb, and all
the doctors in this city could do nothing for
it. I tried everything, until at last 1
thought should have to have the limb am
putated at the knee. 1t was swelled to
twice it's natural size, and l could barely
hobble around on crutches. l was i'll the
house, part of the time bedridden, for three
years, and could not get out. l happened
to look in the newspaper and saw the Cuti-
cura advertisement, and as a last resort
tried that. l used two bottles of the Re
solvent and three boxes of the Cuticura. L
am now able to do all my work, both In
house and out of doors, and my limb is as
natural as could possibly be Hnder any cir
cumstances It is a most wonderful cure.
1 had gwen up hopes of ever being well
again. If this will benefit you. you are
welcome to use it to the best advantage.
Any one not crediting this can find me by
addressing me at the above named city.

If You Had a Friend

About to visit some section of country where
malarial disease, either in the form of chills
and fever or bilious remittent was particu-
larly rife, what would be the best advice
you could give him? We will tell you to
carry along, or procure on arriving, that
potent medicinal safeguard, Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, known throughout malaria
plagued regions, here aud in other countries
as the surest means of disarming the mias-
matte scourge, and robbing it of its tell des-
tructlve influence. Not only does it fortify
the system by increasing its stamina, but
overthrows irregularity of digestion, the
liver and the bowels, and counteracts the
unfavorable effects of over e1ertion, bodily
and mental exposure in rough weather, OF
occu patton too sedentary or laborious loss
of appetite and excessive nervousness, The
| functions of alimentation, bilious secretion
and sleep have in it a most powerful ant
| reliable auxiliary.

ALLEGED LARCENY BY BAILEE.-En-
eineer E. E. Cooper, of this. city, was
arrested last week by the deputy sheriff
of Multnomah county on the charge OF
larceny by bailee. Mr. Cooper has
been engaged in demonstration OF the
Astoria and South Coast railroad. On
the Sth day Of last May VIM. Reid
wrote nine notes asgregating the sum
of $1,000 in favor of several persons
who had been employed on the road,
and gave them to Mr.. Cooper to hold
as trustee, pending certain negotiations,
The parties in whose favor the notes
we're drawn knew nothing of the mat
ter until some time afterward. AS the
negotiations proved unsatisfactory to
Mr., Reid, he wrote to Mr.. Cooper
instructing him not to turn over the
notes. but to return them to him,
threatening to bring suit if he did not
return them. The parties in whose
favor the notes were drawn insisted
that they be turned over to them, and
J. r. Brock, one of the parties, had
Mr.. Cooper arrested upon the charge
named and the case was brought II
Justices court. Mr.. Cooper has flee
n petition in the circuit court of Mutt
nomah county asking the privilege o
delivering the notes to the court, a
trustee. pending the decision of tn
court. This would throw the case on
of the justice court and allow the SUI
for the recovery of the notes to b
brought direct against Mr.. Reid IN
stead of Mr.. Cooper.

three heavy timber rails. 1t rested on big
wooden cross pieces. and was propelled by

Introduced by President Andrews-He
Delighted the Audience.

When Sir Edwin Arnold finished his
program at Music Hall last evening 1t was
To disappointed audience. Not In the
man nor in his poetry, but in feeling that
they had been given taste of something
delicious-something far and away ahead
of what they had been used TO, and then
the book closed and they yearned for more.
The hall was filled with a brilliapt audi
ence when, at little after O'Clock, Gov.
I.add escorted TO the platform man of
average height, in evening dress, and with
but one hand gloved He did not look a
poet when he made his bow after
Andrews of Brown University, and
spoke n few words by way of
preface to his selection, but before he had
read ten lines there was laid low any
doubt on that score. Mr.. Arnold delighted
the audience first with a part of the
Light of Asia" and his delicate handling,
unique illustrations, and deep pathos,
carried his hearers in breathless admira-
ton. The hall was hushed slye for the
rise and fall of his melodious voice and all
the poetic sentiment in the breasts OF his
hearers was waited on pleasant WINS
attuned harmoniously.
sir Edwin reads with his book in one
hand and occasionally refers To il, though
at times the book is laid aside that he may
better illustrate his poem by the use OF
his arms. This he does to perfection. No
movement Of arms, feet, body, hands or
face. but was as much part OF the poetry
as the words themselves.
Mr. Arnold's vein Of humor is very rich
as was unmistakable in his third selec-
tion, an unpublished poem entitled "a
Pair of Egyptian Slippers" The sweetest
story of the evening was The RaJput
Nurse" grand and beautiful in every line
of bare print, il rose TO the majestic
heights when told by the author. What
makes the readings of Sir Edwin doubly
interesting is the fact that he first inn
presses his audience with the assurance of
then carries them gracefully along in the
contemplation.
On the platform with the poet were sew
eral distinguished citizens who crowded
round and showered congratulations on
him while the audience dispersed.

WALT WHITMAN DYING,
The Peaceful Close Of the Good
Grey Poets" Life.
CAREER AS TOLD BY HIMSELF.
Erratic In His Tastes, He Preferred the
Censure of Society to Being Considered
Conventional.

For thirty-five years Walt whitman has
been the subject OF much bitter criticism
for the sentiments OF his early poetry.
Now that be IL dying that matter can be
laid aside for the time, while we consider
his lie.
During the past few years Mr.. Whit
mans health has gradually been growing
worse. In his own words, he has been
"badly paralyzed and immobile." He
lives with a single attendant In little
frame house In Mickle street. Camden.
He has many friends among all classes
and conditions OF people, from the hum
blest laborer OF his immediate nelghbor-
hood to the most renowned OF statesmen
and the most famous OF poets.
Walt Whitman has lived his life In his
own way. unmindful OF what the world
thought, and In his own words, he has
nothing to take back"
"As grow older" said he, some time
ago, Il am more and moro ready TO take
the good there is In men and authors with.
out concerning myself about the bad"
Walt Whitman was born in the village
OF West Hills. l.. l., on May 81. 1919. His
fathers family was OF English descent.
In 1923 the Whitman family moved to
Brooklyn, where the father employed
himself as a carpenter and householder.
In the following year the famous Lafay-
ette rode In state through the streets OF
Brooklyn. Little Walt stood on pile OF
stones Watching the procession. The IL
lustrious Frenchman stopped down, took
the child In his arms and kissed him, and
then returned him to the pile OF stones.
AS there are many apparent discrepan-
cies in the published accounts OF his early
newspaper work his own story may b.
taken as authentic and is as follows:
