Why DIR. Darren Doce not Hide His Light
Under HuShe1.
Alkanv Democrat.

Albany Democrat.
Those who search the Scripture will
find therelniwords advising mankind not
to make pracice Of hiding lights under
. bushel.
We do not know that it was from
studying the Bible that DIR. Darrin got
the idea of advertising. but we do know
that since he has resided in Albany the
doctor has not been afraid to use priat-
er's ink.
Experience has proven to the doctor
that in NO other way can the afflicted
learn SO quickly that there is a pres Mt
opportunity to be healed; that chronic
cases can be cured; that new life and
energy can he impaired to those ~ithin
whose breasts hope of health had al
most ceased to exist; that the worthy
poor can be treated free; that all others
can receive treatment at price to ac-
commodate their means at his office in
the Revere House.
A GRATEFUL PATIENT.
To the Editor: For ten years have
been afflicted with liberated catarrh Of
the head and throat, and bleeding of the
nose. 7 found no relief until I consulted
DR.. Darrin in Salem one year ago. His
treatment by electricity and medicine
has cured me. write this that others
similarly afflicted may avail themselves
of DIR. Darrln's skill while he is in AL
bany. I reside at Waterloo. Or, and
will gladly tell any particulars by letter
or in person.

Not His First Experience.

pS Aoao"iAS OlS pawn 1AOh
San Francisco, under date of iAu-
gust I2, will call to the mind of
all old Coryallisites former resi-
dent of this city, who, as DR..
Smith, furnished much food for
the gossiPs. DR.. Smith resided
in the house, now occupied by c.
A. Gould, on the corner of 3rd
and Van Buren, streets. He had
a pretty home and a fountain
added attractiveness to his we'll
kept lawn. He enjoyed life.
Smith was too common name
for him, and when DR.. Agnew
gained fame as the physician of
President Garfield in his last ill
ness, DIR. Smith took the neces-
sary legal steps to acquire the
name of Agxew. His brother,
George Smith, was a Corvallis
jeweler for a number Of years.
The dispatch follows: A SEN
sation of more than usual Spiel
ness is eccasioned here by young
and attractive Susie P. Agnew
bringing suit for divorce against
her husband, DR.. William Penn
Agnew, the well-known special
list.
Mrs. Agnew was Miss Susie
Thompson, of Portland, Or, and
met the doctor first in that city,
he is well known. Early last
December they were married in
this city, but by !Christmas time,
it is alleged, the doctor began
abasing his young wife, with the
intention of forcing her to leave
him; also saying he had made a
mistake in marrying her, and Of
fered her $3.50 if she would re-
turn to her mother in Portland.
Now the wife files q suit for di.
vorce, charging her husband
with cruelty and abuse, and nam
ing Rev. William Layson, who
is an attorney as well as preach
er, with acting as an emissary
for her husband by trying to in
duce her to sign paper agreeing
to the separation on receipt OF
$3.50.
Layson is a lifelong friend OF
Agnew, and married the couple
who lived happily only IS days.
Mrs. Agnew says that Agnew has
a big practice and sports an auto.
mobile. She also claims that he
has money in fhe bank, and asks
SIS per month alimony.
Records here show that it will
not be Agnew's first experience
in divorce suit, for IS years ago
hewas divorced from Rachel Ag.
new at Corvallis, o.
DR.. Agnew is well known in
the Northwest, where he married
his first wife, and first met the
present Mrs. Agnew while visit
ing in the Willamette River City.
1t is said that Mrs. Agnew
will not return to her parents
until she has secured divorce
and separation from her peculiar
spouse.

not in paying quantities. There
was a great rush of people into
that country and it was thor
oughly prospected. At one time

q population of E, 900 and when
Mr.. Smith left for home only
about 60 persons remained.
The trip frona Nizina to VAL
dez was made by the party of 22,
Of which Mr.. Smith WINS a men,
Der, in II days Only one of this
party had anything to show for
his months OF labor and hard
ship. The others were losers ia
sums ranging from $1oo to $1o,-

where Mr.. Smith saw Nick Bae-
sen. The latter is in excellent
health, and was delighted to see

ances in Corvallis.
