The Bergfeld Case.

The court room was densely packed
last evening to listen to the testimony
in the case of the State v. Vim. Bergfeld.

Hampton, was completed. The analysis

Hampton; on the 10th the balance OF
the contents of the jar was delivered to
w. H. Hampton, and he was engaged
by the prosecution. to. make another
analysis. His Testimony last evening
showed that large quantity of zinc had
been taken into the stomach of deceased
when the proportions of the body and
the conditions are considered in connec-
tion with the small quantity of the fluid
analyzed. 1t is expert testimony and
may perhaps not be sufficiently plain to
be clearly understood generally, except
as to the particular point that there il
evidence in the trace of consIderab BILE
hquantity having entered the stomach.

Okanogan Smith, the pioneer pros
pector, died last week of typhoid fever.
He was chosen a mem Der OF the Wash
ington house of representatives at the
last election. For the past quarter of a
century he has denied himself the ben
efits of civilized life, in his devotion to
the mining interests of Okanogan. His
death will be regretted more because of
the apparent dawn realization OF his
"long deferred hopes.'' bfs
The cost of good roads is discussed
considerably of late. The graveled
streets of East Portland are the worst in
the world, both for the animal and the
tax payer. Good country roads, dry the
the year round. may be made at $1,000
to 1000 per mile, and even less accord
ing to location, and the expenditure pays.
To pull a ton on macadam costs just
half as much as on hard dirt, and one
fourth as much as on sand. 1t is esti-
mated in England that improved
roads have made it possible for three
horses to do the work formerly done by
four, thus saving $1OO. O.O0O. 900 annually.
1t is also stated that with improved
roads, the farm produce could be hauled
for $15, 600 900 per annum less than now,
and that $3.50 900 900 would be added to
the value of the farms.
A worse land slide is reported in Fair
haven than anything in Oregon yet. 1t
WAS an avalanche which came down the
mountain on the east side of Lake What
com sweeping the house occupied by
| Warren Burgess and his wife. together
| with his entire farm, into the lake. 1t
seems that they were asleep in bed when
the avalanche came down and awoke to
find themselves 500 feet out in the lake
on pile of debris. MIR. Burgess had
his leg crushed in jam of trees, but
managed to swim with his wife to the
shore. There they lay in terrible
storm without clothing for seven hours
before help reached them. Mr.. Burgess
is well known here, having formerly
lived in the Inland Empire. Some
years ago he removed to the sound, ano
had by hard labor cultivated and i'm
proved farm on the bank of Lake
Whatcom. The house stood on little
plateau about fifty feet from the LAKE
shore. Every vestige of the improve
i ment which his toll wrought was swep
away by the terrible landslide.

The quickest way to Cure a cold.

Do you wish to know thequickest way
to cure cold? We will tell you. To
cure cold quickly, it must be treated
before the cold has become settled in the
system. The first symptoms of a cold
is dry, loud cough and sneezing- The
pectoration and the sneezing by pro-
fuse watery discharge from the nose. In
severe cases there is thin white coating
on the tongue. What to do? 1t is only
necessary to take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy in double does every hour.
That will greatly lessen the severity OF
the cold and in many cases will effectu-
ally counteract it, and cure what would
have been a severe cold within one Oh
two days time. Try it and be convinced

FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH
The Generous Proposition Made
by Drs. Blair and Neal.
Native Californian Gives Graphic
Description of an Aiiment He Has
Had for Years.

When Drs. Blair and Neal made their
generous proposition to treat all chronic
diseases for tie uniform price of $40 per
month they were not aware of the I'M
scrupulOus and unprincipled, not to say dis
honest, methods employed by the self-styled
specialists and charlatans who infest the
city, and whose representatives abuse the
liberty Of the city by patrolling the principal
thoroughfares and forcing their ridiculous
claims, if not indecent literature, on all who
have the patience or politeness to take it !;
their methods at times being so fragrant
that the city authorities were compelled to
issue warning TO all residents and visitors
OF the city TO beware Of their unscrupulous
methods and pretentlous claims.
Drs. Blair and Neal wish to emphasize
the official warning and particularly desire
TO have it distinctly understood that they
have nothing in common with them.
In order To prove their sincerity in this
respect and to give all an opportunity of
determining for themselves, at a compare
lively small expense, the difference be-
tween the real and the bogus" the
genuine and the fake, they will for the
month Of April discount their previous
generous offer and treat all patients who
commence treatment before May l for the
