Old Judge Hayden, of Polk, met
DR.. Driver at the door of the senate
chamber the other day. Thejudge
and the doctor had been friends for
many years. When the judge met
him, he said in his own rough and
honest manner: doctor, you have
been praying for me for. the last
forty years, but I'll be id if
you ever caught me among such a
crowd as / have now caught you.
Now, doctor, come outside and let
me pray for you." The doctor,
however, didn't think the prayers
of such men as his friend, hejudge,
would amount TO much, and so he
didn't go. And thus the gentle
man from Polk was saved the
trouble of interceding for his old
time friend.

NOW CLOSED UP.
The Job Bank Assignment Ended and
the Assignee Discharged.

The Job assignment came to an
end yesterday afternoon, and the
assignee has been discharged and
his bondsmen exonerated. At an
adjourned term ofJudge Fullerton's
court NJ. NJ. Davis, acting for
Assignee Brysou, reported progress
made in disbursing the final ten
and one-half per cent. dividend
Except in the case of few claims,
creditors have received their checks,
and the checks have been cashed.
Cash to cover the few remaining
checks will be placed on deposit at
the First National and the checks
will be turned over to the clerk of
the court, there to be held, until
creditors call for them.
In his supplemental report the
assignee recapitulates the total
receipts and disbursements during
the three and one-half years the
property has been in his hands,
and 1t turns out that the accrued
interest on notes held by the bank
and collected by the assignee, to.
eether with the rents likewise col
lected more than pay the expenses
of the assignment, including the
fees of the assignee and expenses
of litigation; so that creditors SO
tar as expenses are concerned have
not suffered a cent of loss bv reason
of the delay in closing up tie
assi9nment-a showing that 1e-
fleets most creditably on the
assignee. The recapijulation MADE

port is as follows:

The Job Case Ended.

| -' N'NSSS was lSdCuSu III THIS
county last Tuesday. There was
only one remaining on the docket,
and that was the State of Oregon
VS.. Zephiu Job, being an indict-
ment returned by the grand jury
on November 2S, 1898, for the
larceny of public money. When
this case was called last Monday
the district attorney filed the fol-
lowing motion, which was allowed
by the court:
Comes now The Stale of Oregon
by w. E. Yates, district attorney
and moves the court to dismiss the
Indictment against Z. Job for the
crime of larceny of public funds
filed Nov. 2S, 1898. This motion
is made in the interest of public
justice and for the purpose ofsaving
Lincoln county the expense of
trial without advantage, as the
district attorney believes that con-
victlon under the law and evidence
produced in the trial of M. M.
Davis and the affidavits filed herein,
could not be secured, and that
non-suit would probably be granted
by the court as it was heretofore.
w. E. YATES, Dist. Atty"
The history of these cases are
familiar to many of the readers of
the LEADER. The grand jury of
the November 1898 term of court
returned ar indictment against
Il. Job, B. R. Job and NJ. NJ. Davis,
charging them with larceny of
public money, the larceny consist
ing OF having received money on
deposit belonged to Lincoln county
and falling and refusing 70 pay
over and deliver the same when
demanded. AT the time of the
indictment S. w. Condor was dis
trict attorney, and he vigorously
pressed the case. The defense
secured contiuuances of the case
until the July 1895, term when Tie
case against B. r. Job was dis
missed OH motion of the then dis
trict attorney Geo. M. Brown. AT
the same term the case against NJ.
NJ. Davis was tried and resulted in
the court instructing the jury to
return a verdict Of acquittal for the
defendant. The case against Il.
Job was again continued from time
to time during istrict-Attorney
Browns term Of Office and was
handed on down as a sort of legacy
to District Attorney Yates, who
after giving the matter due con-
sideration filed the motion as above.
This action on the part of Mr..
Yates was the best, perhaps, TN Ter
the circumstances That moral
crime had been committed is be-
yond doubt, but in view of the
adverse decisions of not only other
courts of the state, but of the very
court itself in which the trial must
have been had, and of the great
lapse of time since the indictment
was returned, Mr.. Yates could not
hope for conviction by the most
vigorous prosecution, and TO have
put the defendant on trial would
only have made needless costs and
expense for the taxpayers of the
county to pay without justice being
in any manner vindicated. In
view Of this state of affairs it is
probably the best to get rid of it
and stop the expense.

KIDNEY TROUBLES.
Due 10 Many Causes, But Always with
One Result, A Life Of Agony Fraught
with Horror, Death.

There are many people to-day who are
unknowingly suffering from some severe
kidney disease. This dreaded trouble should
not be neglected. Swollen joints, pains IN the
small of the back, watery sacs under the eyes,
a general bloating of the entire body, a loss or
appetite, sleeplessness and nervousness are a
few of the many symptoms that attend TINS
awful affection. The blood becomes hlled with
the germs of the disease and carries 1t TO other
parts of the body, SO that when patient surfer
ing from this trouble dies, the entire body Is
found to be filled with disease cells. DO not
hesitate or experiment if you are In tins con-
dition. You cannot begin too soon TO LOOK ZOE
help. Take at once that greatest and surest Vi
cures, Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. lhousands
attest its value for this trouble.
One of the many who testify to its curative
powers is j. A. Kaisar, of Kewanee, LII. lie
writes as follows: 81 would say that was
almost down with my back, and consulted a
splendid physician who said my left kidney
was badly affected. I could hardly get, up

the doctor medicine, but it did me no good at
all [ took Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and 1t
cured me.
This same result is obtained in every in
stance. It cures always where a cure is pos
sible. Above all. it is absolutely harmless, as
it contains no poisonous ingredients of any
description, being made entirely OF roots,
barks, herbs and gums of the Indians own
gathering. You can buy it at your druggists.

REQ ested him to allow the use OF his
name as candidate for Mayor;

Messrs. Theodore G. Woodbury., Charles
S. Fohes, Elias Thomas, Francis Fes

Cummings, W. W. Thomas, Jr., and
others:
My Dear Sirs:-I have your letter OF
the 9th inst requesting that permit my
name to be again used as candidate for
the may orally, and it is necessary that
reply. I had most earnestly hoped to be
abba to retire from this office last year,
az I then informed some of you. At that
time had certain unfinished work on
hand which 1 believed would be Of great
benefit to our city, and was naturally
solicitous that some capable and progress
sive citizen should take my place to con :
tinue the work which 10y falling into in
capable or Indifferent hands would cause
my efforts during the preceding years to
be wasted. Although 1esirous OF being
relieved from the burdens OF an ONCE
which greatly interfered with my private
affairs, yielded to the urgent solicita-
tions Of many citizens, and again be-
came n candidate. Three months ago, l
had determined that under no c1roum-
stances would ! again accept nomlna-
ton. and SO informed some Of you, and
urged you to find some one to take the
field and ask for the Auffrages of our
citizens
AS the situation was last year, 80 1t IL
this. had confidently expected to get
certain improvements SO far completed
that a succeeding administration, though
it had nat sympathetically followed them
or Eeen thoroughly Informed in regard to
their details, might carry them SUCCESS
fully forward, but have not been able
to do SO, and knowing this, you ask me
to again assume the burdens OF this
office. Under any ether conditions, my
answer would be decisiyely, no. ! cannot,
certainly, go into an unseemly scramble
for tho office of Mayor of Portland. This
0lgn OllCS OuRuu hui w 10 q ~ ANo ~
self-seeking men to capture, and attained
in this manner, it would be to me void
of honor You urge me, gentlemen.
again to allow you to use my name IN
the caucuses, and I herewith do SO, ex-
pressing the hope that there will be full
and unbiased expression of opinion at
the oauouses on the part CT all citizens
who feel an interest in the public welfare,
and that every citizen will exert himself
to this end.
Placing myself rs L do, in your han DIS,
I desire to have it clearly understood that
should you find that party harmony could
be better subserved by tie selection OF
another candidate, shall most cheerful
ly yield to your wishes.
