BRTGHT'S DISEASE.

The largest sum ever paid for pre-
scription, changed hands in San Fran
cisco, August 30, 1901, The transfer in
volved in coin and stock $1l2 10000 and
was paid by party of business men for
specific for Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi-
cation of the specific Nov. 15, 1900.
They interviewed scores OF the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
oyer three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got ply
sicians to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. 25. eighty-seYen
per cent of the test cases were either
well or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent of
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
OF the investigating committee and the
clinical reports of the test cases were
published and will be mailed free on ap-
plication. Address JOHN J. FULTON

MONEY is EXHAUSTED
Secretary of State Will Not Pay Any
More Veterans Claims.

The secretary Of state has decided to
pay no claims Of the Indian War
Veterans beyond the 100000 appro-
priated by the legislature for that
purpose, nor will he audit and issue
certificates of Indebtedness for the
claims beyond the appropriation.
This decision was made after the
encouragement rendered an opinion,
holding that no warrant of law exist
ed for the auditing of these claims
when the funds provided for their
payment were exhausted, and no war
rant can legally be drawn.
Under the opinion the secretary will
receipt for and file the claims reach
ing his Office, when the appropriation
is exhausted, he will notify each
claimant to the effect, referring the
claims to the next legislature for
action by that body. There will be
about 800 of these claims that will re-
main unpaid, and a recommendation
will be made to the next Legislature
for further appropriation to meet
these demands, aggregating about
$4,000.
Meanwhile the claimants, will have
to be patient and await the action of
the lawmakers. Mr.. Dunbar, in dis
cussing the matter, said that the
claims Of the Indian War Veterans
were not a fixed charge against the
state, and there was no warrant of law
for their payment, as is in the case in
the fixed charges against and ex-
penses of the government, and, much
as he regretted to be compelled to hold
up further payments, the only course
open to him would be to refer the case
to the Legislature.
All claims received after the ex-
haustion of the appropriation will be
filed, as stated above, and receipts
issued. acknowledging the filing of
the same.

JUDGMENT IS REVERSED
Supreme Court Hands Down De-
cision in Sears-DaIy Case.

The Supreme Court Of Oregon hand
ed down a decision Monday in the
case Of Van B. Sears, respondent VS..
Phya DAILY, appellant, from Marion
county, reversing the judgment Of the
lower court.
This was an action against several
defendants upon promissory note
alleged to have been executed in be-
half of plaintiff as administrator of
the Isaac Ball estate. Mrs. Phya
Daily answered, denying the execution
Of the note by her, and alleged that
her signature on the note was a
forgery. In his reply the plaintiff
alleged that Mrs. Daily had ratified
the signature. After trial verdict and
Judgment were rendered for plaintiff,
and Mrs. DAILY appealed.
In the court below, the trial Judge
instructed the jury that there is pre-
sumption that a note was regularly
executed, but that the presumption
may be overcome by other evidence.
The Supreme Court holds that this
was an error, and says:
"In an action upon promissory
note, where it's execution is denied by
the defendant there is no presumption
that it was regularly executed. In
such case the plaintiff must establish
the fact that it is the note of the de-
fendant, and on this proposition he
has the burden of proof throughout
In case an instrument in form of a
promissory note is shown or admitted
to have been executed, certain pre-
sumptions will attach to it in the
hands of the holder--such as that it
was made for valuable considera-
tion, regularly indorsed for value
before maturity, etc. But where the
making of the note is the point in
issue, no presumption can attach un-
til it's execution is shown.

MATERIAL is ORDERED
plpe for Dallas Water Works VIII
uegin to Arrive Inside of Thirty
Days.

Ii. v. Gates, who has the contract
To build and operate system Of
water-works in Dallas, writes from
san Francisco that all orders for
material have been placed, and that
delivery Of the same will begin inside
of thirty days. Mr. Gates will arrive
in Dallas next week, and will at once
begin work on the ditch for the con-
duit from Canyon Greek to the
reservoir west Of town.
A workshop will be erected on the
vacant lot adjoining the Southern
Pacific track: near the public school
building, and all material will be
stored there as it arrives. 1t is the
contractors intention to complete the
work on the mountain end Of the con-
duit before the rainy season begins,
and to this end a large force of men
and teams will be employed from the
beginning in digging the ditch and
hauling the pipe out to the mountains.
The work will be continued on the
lower end of the line and in the city
throughout the Winter months at all
times when the weather will permit.
The contractor estimates that it will
require six months to build the works.

WILL ASK FOR 100000.

A conference was held in Port
land Friday between the full Con-
gressional delegation from the state
Of Oregon, comprising Senators
Mitchell and Fulton and Congress
men Williamson and Hermann,
and committee on behalf of the
Lewis and Clark Fair, and Jeffer-
son Myers, president Of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition State Com
mission. The object of the con-
ference was to discuss the question
Of securing an appropriation from
Congress at the next session for the
fair, The matter was thoroughly
discussed by all the gentlemen in
attendance, the representatives Of
the fair presenting what they
thought would be reasonable re-
quests, and the honorable gentle
men who represent the state call
ing attention to the difficulties that
would be encountered and the most
practical method of bringing the
matter before Congress so as to
procure favorable action.
1t was practically decided at the
conference that a general appropri-
alton of $500,000 would be asked
for, and that an appropriation OF
100000 would be asked in each
case for an Alaska exhibit and for
an exhibit from Uncle Sans Pacific
possessions, the Philippines and
the Hawaiian Islands. The ques-
tion also arose, on the suggestion
OF one of the gentlemen present, to
ask for an exhibit in the way Of a
loan of fine statuary from the
National Government to adorn the
Oregon building at the fair.

The Children's Day exercises Of the
United Evangelical Church will be
held in the College chapel, Sunday
evening.
The picture of the "Queen of the
Carnival" girl, in coquettish pose, has
taken the place so long held in the
newspapers by the college athlete,
clad in baggy trousers and striped
sweater. The change is pleasing
one, as sameness grows tiresome.
The same remark will apply when the
rotation in sports brings the football
champion and the team president into
prominence again. Looking at the
pictures each in it's season, we wonder
vaguely how we used to get along In
the good old days when boys plowed
and hoed and worked at the smithy,
and girls washed dishes and helped
with the general housework, and both
put in their leisure with their books,
and had not time to pose on pictures.
Of course, nobody wants to go back to
those fashioned times, but the
sturdy lads and smiling lassies that
belonged to them stand out plainly in
memory and do not suffer by the COM

A Surgical Operation

is always dangerous-do not sub
nit to the surgeons knife until you
have tried DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve. 1t will cure when every
thing else fails-it has done this in
thousands of cases. Here is one of
them. I suffered from bleeding
and protruding piles for twenty
years. Was treated by different
specialists and used many remedies,
but obtained no relief until I used
DeWitt's Hazel Salve. Two boxes
of this salve cured me eighteen
months ago and I have not had a
touch of the piles since. H. A.

truding Piles no remedy equals
DeWitt'sWitch Hazel Salve. Sold
