Sick
Headache

IGdOdCk4G
When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
tenn, centering III the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stoi1l-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting IN loss Of

Death OF Earl CARPENTER.

Sorrow is sometimes too deep
for words and sympathy too sin
cere for expression. 1t seems to
the writer that there can be n1th-
ing more poignantly sorrowful
than the death of a young life,
full OF all the hope and promise
that youth and noble aspiration
can give.
Earl Carpenter was only %
years of age, and died fter eigh-
teen daysof suffering withtyphoid
fever. He was the beloved broth
er of Mrs. o. b. Brown, of Pearl
haven, upon whom his death
comes with crushing force; and to
add to this great trial second
and younger brother lies in crit
ical condition at her home strick-
en- with the same malady.
We had no acquaintance with
the brother who has left his loved
ones; but his praise is on every
tongue and the esteem in which he
was held, young though he was,
was expressed Sunday afternoon
in the attendance of many friends
from a distance and in the floral
offerings made.
The funeral service was con-
Quoted at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. B. Brown, at Pearlhaven,
by Rev. r. Fl. Purser, after which
the mortal part was inferred at
Rose Hill.
Among sympathetic visitors
from distance we're Messrs.
Ralph Butterfeld, Thorson, Nc
Calm, Jones, Mrs. Gleason and
the Misses Sykes and Rooney, Of
Norfeld; Mr.. and Mrs. ARM
strong and Miss Payne, Of New
Orleans; Miss Lillian Keithley,
of Crystal Springs, and others
whose names we failed to get.
May that peace, which passeth
all understanding follow in the
path of the broken-hearted.

of $500. P'' d hns
Senator Burton, accompanies

granted recess to take up the pr ra'a'
case. Judge Adams summoned s au''0h
Burton to stand up, and then anoaa %
the motions that had been fla ed' T. o.

The court, after briefly REVIEWING ' !.
motions, overruled them both M sus

The courtroom was almost ams..
and the silence was almost oppresa;r,
as Judge Adams, in low. modnla,'s
tones, began delivering the sentence nv, -
be imposed.
AT the conclusion of the senteno.
Senator Burton, who had not taken H.
eyes from the court, and who had
scarcely moved as he supported him
self by the chair back, turned and 50,
down, with his head bowed and HI,
eyes on the floor.
Attorney Judge Krum immediatalv
filed bill of exceptions in the cs.s
and Offered bond of $4,000 which
was accepted, and court took recess,
until 2 O'Clock to resume the previou,
case. Senator Burton and Judge Krum
then hurriedly departed from the cont.
room.
The case will now be appealed to tbe
United States district court of appeals
the highest tribunal in the matter.
1t is a. coincidence that the amouDt
of the fine $2500 imposed upon Senator
Burton is identical with the amount
which according to the evidence he re.
ceived from the Rialto Grain & Secur;.
ties company. The Iron county jail to
which Senator Burton was sentenced
for six months, is located in the county
seat at Ironton Mo-, on the Iron Noun.
tain railroad. The Jail is a two-stor
brick structure and in portion Of It
Sheriff Polk makes his home with his
family.
According to the rule of the Jail
which shortens each years sentence Of
a prisoner by three months for good be-
havior, Senator Burtons period Of in
generation there may be reduced 10
four and one-half months.

Chairman Tawney. speaking ON this
poiet, said;
1.-THE ts75. 900 allotted for govern
ment buildings and exhibits Is equiva
lent, under other circumstances, to an
sppropFiation of between 1900, 900 and
1900, 900 for the Portland exposition,
because the government exhibit has al
ready been assembled at st. Louis, and
will only require transportation to
Portland, thereby saving that city the
cost OF assembling a new government
exhibit"
The passage of the bill removes the
last doubt as TO the fate Of the Lewis
and Clark appropriation. The bill
that Is finally agreed upon and signed
by the president will carry at least the
amount contained in the bin passed by
the house, and may possibly be in
creased. There can be no decrease.
Any change must be in the nature of a
compromise between the senate and

PANAMA STRIKE GROWS SERIOUS.
America Warns Marines and Scamen
to Take No Sides.

Washington, April THE labor
troubles ON the Isthmus Of Panama
growing out of the strike of the en-
ployes OF the Panama railroad company
have taken serious turn, and the facts
have been reported to the state depart
ment by the United States charge at
Panama. The matter was deemed OF
sufficient Importance to warrant consid-
cradle discussion at the cabinet meet
ing, and the unanimous opinion was
that everything should be done to avoid
an ENHANCEMENT of the United States
with any labor controversy. But it
was determined that the government
would not withhold in any degree the
protection of the Panama railroad,
which it has assumed by treaty, and it
was directed that the railroad property,
rolling stock, track and terminals
should be protected by forces from the
United States warships at the isthmus
if that became necessary.
There will, however, be no compul-
sion exercised against the strikers to
compel them to return to work. If
the railroad management can secure a
sufficient force of men to operate the
road they will be upheld in such an at
tempt. This will be done with the
full consent of the Panama government,
though under broad treaty provisions
this is not absolutely necessary.
Secretary Moody was charged with
the duty Of carrying out this decision
and with instructing Admirals Glass
and sigsbee as to the course they shall
pursue. There is ample force on the
isthmus for any emergency.

st. Petersburg, April I3.--It is stat
sd that the Russian government has
decided to make an extensive use of
armed automobiles during the coming

number have recently been imported,
they being the latest product OF the Sc
lect factories In Germany, France and
Belgium, and the first batch will be
sent to the front from Moscow on a
special train today.
They are TO be manned by expericnc-
ed officers drawn from the last gradu-
stes from the military, and II Ii expect
ed that they win be OF very great adj
vantage TO General Kuzliki, to whom
has been entrusted the making Of all OF
the arrangements for the trip of the
Baltic feet TO the Far East, has trans
mitted TO the czar the preliminary re-
port OF shat IL expected 10 be accom-
plished. He declares that II will be
possible TO get the fleet to its destina-
tion before the last OF August, should
nothing unforeseen happen.
Two Russian army corps are TO be
modified during May. One OF these
will have headquarters at and will be
drafted from Moscow and the surround
ing towns, while the other win come
from Siberia. The officer who made
this announcement stated that Russia
did not conpider herself in any danger
from Japan and that therefore she
would not remove any of the troops
along her seaboard where they might
be needed should any other nation have
designs against her.

Amsrican Policy WIN Continue. No Mat
ter II New Treaty II Made.

Washington, April l2.~-In cabinet
meetings and In conference directly be-
tween the executive heads of depart
nasnts She whole subject of the status
Of the Chinese immigration question,
~ 1t will be after the lapse of existing
treaties, has been thoroughly digested,
and II can be stated that the admins
trRtion feels that II has ample warrant
for continuing 10 enforce the rigid pro-
Visions 81 the the Chinese exclusion
act regardless OF the denunciation OF
the treaty. So far from opening the
door TO Chinese immigration, the lapse
OF the treaty, will, 1t IL said, actually
render The entrance of Chinese into
this country more difficult than while
the treaty remained ia force.
This fact has been pointed out to the
Chinese government by Mr.. Conger,
who has not yet abandoned the effort
to induce the Chinese government to
reconsider its denunciation. However
1t Is positively stated that the exclusion
laws will continue to be enforced after
December next, whether the treaty
expires or not.
Attorney General Knox has under
consideration the question of the valid
ity OF the exclusion law OF 1902 In view
of the denunciation of the treaty, and
he will prepare and submit to the pres
ident an opinion on the subject. Both
the president and the attorney general
have discussed the matter with men,
bers OF congress. 1t is being consid-
cred, too, by members Of both branches
Of congress, and If 1t is deemed neces-
sary some legislative action will be
taken on 1t before adjournment. II it
should be concluded that the denuncia-
tion OF the treaty by China would rem
der imperative existing laws regarding
Chinese exclusion, the probable course
OF action will be TO attach TO one OF the
pending appropriation bills an amend
ment forcing the exclusion OF Chinese.
Members of congress are generally
agreed that no difficulties will be ex-
perienced in passing the legislation il
it should be regarded as necessary.

SURE IT IS SAFE.


Washington, April 7.--There Ia a
prospect that the Lewis and Clark ex'
position bill will be passed by the
house the latter part Of the present
week, after being considered under spec
ial rule. Chairman Tawney today in
troduced q resolution authorizing con-
alteration OF the bill at any time dur
ing the remainder Of the session, and
had his resolution referred to the COM
mittee ON rules. There is every assur-
ance that this committee will favorably
report the resolution at its next meet
ing. notwithstanding the fact that
three members of the committee voted
against the Portland bill.
The strong showing on both rollcalls
establishes beyond question the fact
that the bill is favored by large ma
jority Of the members Of the house, and
it is believed by those in touch with
the situation that the committee on
rules will recognize the wish Of the
majority, and consent to consideration
Of the bill. II Tawney's resolution is
reported as expected, it will be equiva-
liant to a special rule, and viii give am
pie opportunity for debate on the bill
and permit its passage by majority
vote.
1t is now regarded as certain by Ore
gsnians here that the bill will be
passed by the house and that the meas
