GOVERNOR
GEER'S
APPEAL
For Funds for the Mckinley
Memorial.

In response to a five.hunlred word tel
egram from Governor Nash Of Ohio Gov
Geer today issued the following to the
people OF Oregon: "As a suitable testi-
monial to the affectionate regard in
which the people Of the United States
hold tho memory Of the late President
Mckinley, "The Mckinley National
Memorial Association" was organized
several months ago for the purpose OF
raising the necessary funds for the erec-
ton of monument at his tomb in
Canton, Ohio. The estimated cost OF
this monument is $650,0l0, of which
sum his native state Of Ohio proposes to
raise 100000.
81 have been requested by the sub
committee Of Ohio, Of which Governor
Nash is chairman, that Wednesday, the
29th Of January, which will be the 59th
anniversary Of the birth OF William Nc.
Kinley, be set apart by all the schools as
MEX inley Day." to be observed with
some kind OF special exercises, and that
the children be given upon that day an
opportunity to contribute whatever they
may feel disposed and able to the me-
mortal fund. 1t is also requested that
on the Sunday preceding the 20 h OF
January, all the hurches have Especial
services and that they give an opportu-
nifty to all persons attending to contrib
ute to the fund.
"William Mckinley was a lifelong
friend Of the poorer people Of this coun-
try and they will no doubt manifest
their appreciation OF this fact, by avail
ing themselves of this opportunity to
contribute, no matter how small the
sum, toward the construction of this
monument to his memory. He was an
special friend of the children, which
was not only evidenced in his affection
ehome attachments, but on all public
.casions where our little folks we're a
factor in the exercises.
"The people Of Oregon, for whom the
late President always had a high regard
should respond cheerfully to this pro-
posal TO contribute their share to this
memorial fund on two designated days,
10 order that it may not be neglected OF
allowed to further lag. Large sums are
not expected, since the smaller tue sun g
the more people will have an interest in
and be a part Of this national tribute to
one Of our great Presidents.
II do not feel disposed to urge this
matter, for all offerings should be
prompted by the heart, aud especially
the children are hereby merely notified
that on the anniversary Of McKinley's
birth day the opportunity will be open to
contribute Whatever small mite may be
at their dispOssl, II no more than a
penny each, While some Of our best
people may not feel aUlc 20 contribute
anything TO Iisiund, we have thousands
who shou d respond With cheerful

TOOK
DEADLY
DRINK
Two McMinnviIle Women
Take Poison Together.
Death of a Telephone Girl
and Her Companion.

A McMinnvile special says. Despond-
ent from reasons unknown to their fam
lilies or friends, tired of living and deter
mined to die, Mamma Ungerman, night
telephone operator at McMinnville, and
her chum, Mrs. Ollie Gaunt, a divorced
woman, drank areenic in deadly quanti-
ties, in the telephone office last night,
both succumbing today to the effects Of
the poison. Miss Ungerman called mp
several operators along the telephone line
and told them that she and
her companion were tired Of
living aud we're taking the
poison at the time the message was sent.
The grim announcement was not be-
leved and those who received the
message thought the McMinnville
central was induging in chatting over
the wire.
Both were prominent and popular
young women, from the leading fam
iles OF the town, and bad pleasant
homes and, 20 far as known. no reason
existed for their untimely
self destruction. Mrs Gsnnt had
been separated from her hus-
band for several months, but none Of her
friends suspected that her domestic trou.
bles weighed sufficiently heavy on her
mind 20 cause her to contemplate suicide.
The poison was taken about half past
8 O'Clock last night. Miss Ungerman had
been acting as night operator in the tel
ephone Office She was accompanied to
her work by Mrs. Gaunt, and both seem.
cd to be in the best Of spirits when Mr..
Hemb bree, the proprietor of the store where
the tel, phone Office is situated, left his
establishment early in the evening, Mr.
Hembree returned to his store about 8
O'Clock and found Mrs. Gsnnt standing
in the rear door of the building ill.,. AZ
she became worse at once, a physician
was summoned. Under his direction
Mrs Gaunt was removed to the home oI
her stepisther, T. A. MoCourt, while
Miss Ungerman walked out upaided and
apparently in normal health, In a short
time Miss Ungerman was taken ILL.,.
Miss Ungerman is the daughter Of Mr.
aud Mrs. r p. Ungerman, highly re-
spected citizens Of McMinnville. Mrs
Gaunt was the daughter Of Mrs. T. A,
McCourt, of this city, and was general
iavorite. Mrs. iaunt iormesly lived in
Hill sboro, where she was well known.

Correction.

terday that Mr. and Mrs. Friedman bud
gone TO Portland for a visit, aud the fret
they knew that they we're ous Of town
was when they read II in the evening

believed them 10 be in that city, because
when The JOURNAL says people have
gone somewhere IL 10 their moral duty
to go or give their friends a good reason.
Now the only reason that Mr.. and Mrs
Friedman we're not in Portland, is he
cause they never went and neverintnded
togo and the information was mistaken,
and all their friends are glad they are
at home and will make their calls just
as though they had never been away.

The Value of Advertising.

The man with The prize nerve
has recently been discovered. He
is evidently a firm believer in the
power of advertising, as his propo-
sition recently made to the govern
ment will attest. In his propo-
sition, he offered the government
$4,000 for the privilege of having
his face printed on one years
issue of postage stamps. He
made no secret of the fact that it
was his desire to have this done
for advertising purposes, pure and
simple True to all traditions,
Uncle Sam refused to be coerced,
and the prospective advertiser s
$4,000 was made to look like
nine cents and q penny, but had
this man succeeded in carrying the
matter through, declares AID Sense,
he would have had, without any
qualification, the biggest amount
Of publicity, 80 far as circulation
is concerned, ever attained by any
one man. The above statement
we'll evidences the value of adver-
Using. Any man who will volun-
tarily offer $4,000 for the pur-
pose of advertising himself has
doubtless been greatly benefited
by publicity in the past. He has
evidently figured out the scheme
and has realized that he was bound
to make money by the investment.
Of course, such proposition
would never be entertained by
the government under any cir
cumstances, but the fact that it
ii was made is the most valuable
testimonial that could be given to
the value of advertising.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows. that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because OF lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems TO find
it and set the matter right.

When "Paddy" Sailed Away.

from New York Wednesday with
$I25,ooo Of our good money in his
inside pocket. Il love this coun-
try. I love the people in it, but |
certainly shall not come next sea-
son. When | do come ! shall have
something to lay before the Amer
lean public-a new opera" The
Polish lion gave out this informa-
ton with difficulty. Turning his
head aside he almost ran his nose
into a boquet of roses, and from
the other side came an occasional
bombardment of violets from fair
admirers who could not get near
enough to present them. The wo-
men who thronged about him
were so enthusiastic that Pader-
ewski was finally compelled to es-
cape to his stateroom. Paderew-
ski said that for the first time he
was crossing the ocean without a
piano. When he was coming to
America the last time his piano
got loose in a storm and chased
aim about his stateroom for hall
an hour. He is going to take nc
chances with that instrument this
year. 1t is no respecter of genius
he animated.
