JOHN N, OAKLEY
DIED OF DRINK
DR.. Morgan Made a Chem
ical Analysis of His
Stomach.
No Poisons Beyond Those of the
Embalming Fluids Were
Found.
Justice Barry Says the Palace Hotel
Need Not Deliver HIS Effects
to the Coroner.

From the investigations of DR.. Morgan,
the chemist of the Coroner's office, it ap-
pears that the death OF John Nj. Oakley,
the Pittsburg millionaire, was caused by
an overindulgence in alcoholic stimu-
lants and not by any poison that might
have been administered by himself or
others.
DR.. Morgan made careful analysis of
the stomach and contents and found no
poisons beyond small quantities of zinc,
arsenic and carbolic acid, that were con-
veyed there during the process OF en-
balming.
The stomach bore evidences of having
been much abused, and death undoubtedly
came from the exhaustion of the vital
forces through dissipation and lack of the
proper nourishment.
The Coroner has decided to hold the in
quest on Oakley's case on Tuesday, and
will sift the matter thoroughly at that
time.
The manager, clerks and other en-
ployes of the Palace Hotel will be called
upon to give their testimony. The jury
will be composed of the following: q. A.
Smith, Arthu Balkman, Thomas Nc Cord.
J. RittleI, James Shute. w. O'Connor,
Alex Schmulian, G. w. Newman and A.
Nordman.
Yesterday the issue concerning the Gus
tody OF OaKley's trunk, vaise and other
property, which was left at the Palace
Hotel, came finally up fof decision in the
Justices Court before Justice Barry. The
result was that the search warrant was
dismissed by the justice who found that
it was defective. He ordered that the
trunk and valise and contents, which
have been in the property-room OF the
Police Department at the new City Hail..

A TRUE SPECIALIST,

The record of DOCTOR COOK is SIM
ply series of professional triumphs
Equipped with everything essential to the
most modern methods OF practice, he has
accomplished greater good, relieved more
suffering, gladdened more hearts, and made
happy more homes within the past few
months than other physicians have been
able to do in years. He makes no pre-
tensions to perform impossibilities, but
some of his cures do seem but little less
than miraculous Many of his most bril-
liant triumphs are in chronic, long g-linger-
ing diseases, which other physicians have
pronounced hopeless. Prompt and perfect
cures he guarantees.

DLsGRAC EFUL PROCEEDINGS.

The members of the house of repre-
sentatives of the Oregon legislature
who obstruct the organization of the
house by absenting themselves there
from merit the severest censure.
Their condnct is inexcusable, is dis
graceful. They were elected as repre-
sentatives of the people, not the special
advocates of any individual or set of
individuals; and in refusing to appear
in the representative hall and assume
their duties as legislators they abuse
the confidence that is reposed in them.
Their action is nothing but an effort
to either further the interests of some
individual or Illustrate. his plans. 1t
is not in the interest of their constitu-
ents, but is personal. matter and is
worthy the severest condemnation. !.
Evidently the influence that pre-
vents the organization of the house is
the senatorial contest, and it is openly
charged that it is the eresult of a COM
Eination between certain leaders to
prevent the election of John H. Mitch
ell to the senate. If this claim is true,
both Mr.. Mitchell and the parties who
are opposing him are in manner to
blame for preventing the business of
the legislature from proceeding. The
selection of a United States senator is
not of such great Importance that it
should block the wheels of legislation.
If Mr.. Mitchell is the prime cause of
preventing the organization of the
house. he as loyal, patriotic citizen,
should withdraw from the contest in
the interest of harmony. On the other
hand, if those opposed to him are con-
vinced that he has sufficient votes
to insure his election. they should GO
into the organization of the house like
men, gracefully accept defeat and per-
NIT the business of the legislature to |
proceed. Neither party to the cen
troyersy is blameless, Tor each is
equally RESPONSIBLE. The whole pro-
ceeding thus far is disgraceful, is with.
out precedent, and is the outcome of
a cheap, clap-trap system of politics
that degrades all who are in any way
with it.

citizens and taxpayers Monday even
ing consisting of ex-senator Slater, Mr..
Baker and Turner Oliver, has formu-
lated q petition which will be circuiat-
