THE CONSPIRACY TRIAL.
Comment Regarding 1t and Jhe i1vi-
denee OK Blum.

Hon. C. W. Fulton, who conducted
the defense in the Chinese conspiracy
trial in Portland, was interviewed YES
terday regarding the case, but while
rot disposed to give any opinion as
to the ultimate outcome, had no hest
tation in expressing himself freely on
Nat. Blum's course: Mr.. Fulton said
There Is no doubt in my mind thai
Blum has had with him in the snug
Cling and conspiracy business several
persons whose names have not been
mentioned, and / am equally confident
that he has incrlminated several who
had nothing to do with either offense
against the laws. Blum's main object,
doubtless was to help himself, and at
the same time create q sensation, his
satisfaction being apparently very great
while testifying ] think the people
should be slow to believe man who
confesses himself to be a criminal, and
who has been shown to have borne
such an unsavory reputation. 1t would
seem, also, bhat MS testimony must
have been very much different before
the grand jury than it was in court
at the trial. because Of the fact that at
the. trial there were some defendants,
notably Captain Ross, against whom
there was not a breath of testimony :;
and 1t is inconceivable that an indict.
ment would have been returned by any
grand jury against Captain Ross had
there not been charges of some sort
preferred against him. While there are
doubtless some parties guilty, who were
associated with Blum in his criminal
course, have no doubt the day will
come when Blum will be occupying as
odious a position in the eyes of the
people Of oregon as did the informer,
Oates, in the eyes of the British public
long years ago.

A New York man discovered the 9th
er night, upon leaving his place of bus
mess, that he was bleeding at the
chin, although there was no scratch or
abrasion there, and bleeding so freely
that whenever the blood was washed
off It came again. The upper part of his
right arm was found to be in the same
condition. A doctor was unable to check
the flow, but finally it stopped Of its
own accord, as the saying is. The doc
tors described 1t as "petechial hemor
rhage," or bleeding from the pores. The
young never was troubled that way be
fore, nor has he been since. This true
story suggests the present and prospec
tive conditions of the workingmen OF
the country generally under the pre-
vaillng depression and the threatened
Wilson tariff bill. They may expect to
sweat blood at every pore,

THE OPEN SWITCH.
AN ESTABEISHED SAFEGUARD.


Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by AN open switch" 1t is the
terror Of railroad men, and the dread Of the
traveller. Its yiciims-killed, horribly man
gled or manned for life-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yet the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
1t is Heart Disedsei "But," you reply, con-
fidently, 81 haven't any heart dsease-my
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
DIR. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those Of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsuspected. The reason peo.
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
huttering or alpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed Or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, yOur heart is affected.
81 had been troubled with heart disease
for years. My lertpulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours Dr. Niles Nervias and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
ofany benefit and cured me."-L. NJ. DYER,
Cloverdale, Md.
"My wife has been taking DR.. Miles NetO
Cure for the Heart She thinks itwonderful,
She has not been troubled with pain or
smothering spells since using it. We have
also used Dr.. Miles PllS, and we find them
all they are claimed 10 he,"-GEO. l.. FINK,

These and hundreds of similar testimo-
mails are convincing proofs of the wonderful
powers of Dr. Miles Nc,O Cure for he Heart.
