death in spits..o the fact that an sbun-
dance of good food was furnished by the
overseers Of tbe poor as well rs q large
amount which was year'y raised on the
poor farm. Mr.. McGarrigis among osher
thugs. claimed that although there were
three cows on the farm no butter or milk
WAS ever given the inmates; that they
we're fed on sour bread and molasses. no
meat or potatoes, although the ovsrseer
supplied both; that their vegetables,
Whenever they were given any, were
cooked simply in wafer, without meat
or butter, and in eloquent language he
depicted the filthy condition OF the poor
wards of the city.
After this severe arraignment. the al
dermen who were on tha poor COMMITTEES

futs the charges, bat that official said they
were too true and that the poor house had
really been an open house for friends Of
the keeper of the farm who came TO the
house and ate the food which was fur
nishei for the ininates. He was then
asked wi he had seSer notified the poor
committee. His reply was that this was
going on over four ysazs ago and at that
time he had msde a arrangements to re-
move the rarties In charge OF the poor
farm, but that tine aldermen Of that tim Q
would not agree to his proposition, there
fore he did not consider 1t necessary to
say anything further.

matter.

Scores of dwelling houses in the path

cases the wind after unrooting houses,
whipped all the furniture out or the up

streets and yards many blocks Distant
At the First Presbyterian church when
the tower crashed down it fell upon tha
graves In the church yard. This caused
an upheaval of the earth and brought to
the surface skeletons and skulls that had
long lam under ground. OLD trees In the
church yard Were uprooted and these
brought up in their roots other skeletons
and skulls The streets are almost Inn
passable with debris.
1t took about ten minutes for the
tornado TO pass through the city
and then the rain fell In torrents flooding
everything ard adding to the damage
done by the wind. Just ahead of TIE
storm cloud itself there was severe
shower of hail stones.
Many persons were slightly injured by
being struck by flying debris.
The greatest Excitement prevailed In
the city. Firamen and police were placed
on duty In the wrecked section. The po-

PROF. ]. y. COWAN.
Aug. 8, 4, 5.

Nobody can form any idea of tho Won
iderful cures performed by this man un-
less they go to the Hotel Preble and see
1t done. Prof. Cowan in his remarkable
| healing makes no extravagant claims of
miraculous power Neither does he re-
quire blind faith on the part of tho sub
ject who comes to him for treatment
His is the underlying principle Of all
science. and he has demonstrated ii to
the public by actual work, done in the
most public manner Whether sick or
/ well do not fail to go to Hotel Preble
and see Prof. Cowan's marvellous power
demonstrated. In placing his hand over
the diseased parts of the body his hand
and arm enlarges twice its natural size,
turns q very dark color and to all ap-
pearances loses its vitality.
I This is due to the great electric forces
which absorb the disease from the dis
eased organs of the patient, People who
have been suffering for years should not
neglect this opportunity for being cured
no mateer how many physicians have
failed, this man cannot fail. No such
man has ever visited Portland before.
He stands without an equal as a healer
in the known world and has the strong.
est testimonials to substantiate this
truth.
Don't forget tho date and place. Prof.
Cowaf will be at Preble House, Monu-
ment Square, on August 3, A, 8, Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday of this week.
