ON THE
BRAIN

Joe Fitzgerald, who has been en-
gagged at the Willamette Hotel bar as
bartender, was this morning pro-
nounced insane when examined before
Judge Scott by DR.. j. Reynolds, and
was committed to the asylum. Fitz-
gerald's insanity was caused by exces-
sive drinking, as he is said to have
been drinking heavily for some time,
in fact has been on a %protracted spree
for the past month, and for the last
week has refused to eat anything. The
result was that he was taken with a
violent attack of delirium tremens or
." jim-iams," as they are commonly
called. He vas put to bed, and guard
ed constantly by two men, but his
condition failed to improve much, and
this morning was arraigned for insan-
ity. He is said to have visions; at
one time he saw 1000 bottles Of whis-
key floating in the air, which he was
constantly trying to count, and now
he thinks there is some money coming
to, him, and he is hunting it.
Fitzgerald was born in Ireland
about 30 years ago, but has been in
this country for a number of years.
He has many friends, and they are re-
joiced to hear that his insanity is con-
sidered durable, and that he will have
a chance of a speedy recovery.
Fitzgerald has held many important
positions in his line since he has been
in Oregon, among which was that of
head bartender at the Hotel Portland.
He is a congenial fellow and well edu-

London, Dee. 30.--In Pirbright
c%hurchyard a memorial Of a remarka-
bic kind has just been placed over
the grave of the late Sir Henry M.
Stanley, the African explorer, whose
widow was DESTROYS of securing for
the purpose some great monolith,
{ fashioned by the ages, tempered and
colored by time and untouched by
man" Search was made, especially
in the neighborhood Of Dartmoor, and
eventually a large granite monolith
was discovered that appeared to be
suitable. 1t was in a recumbent posi-
ton, forming part of \ fence on the
roadside, and three Of it's faces were
known to have been exposed for many
years.
This stone, which is IL feet long,
four feet wide, two feet six inches
thick, and weighs six tons, was con
veyed from Devonshire to Pinbright
with much difficulty, and it now stands
with the simple inscription, "Henry
Morton Stanley" also the name by
which he was known on the Dark Con
%tinent, ''Bula Matari' (the rock
breaker), the word "Africa,' and
above all a cross.

Nevada Man Wishes
to Develop In
duStry
Commercial Club Wants In
formation About Growing
AngOra Goats

The Commercial club has received a
letter from a gentleman in Nevada
who wishes to engage in the Angora
goat business in the Willamette val
ley. The letter is printed below, and
we hope all our readers who can give
facts will send in written statements
that can be used by the Commercial
club to induce such men as this one
from Nevada to come to Oregon, and
make him feel that we are all work
ing to locate just such citizens in our
country.
Delamar, New, Dec. "a, 1904.
Gentlemen: 1 understand there
are quite a few people in the Angora
goat business in your locality. l
wish to embark in the same, and be-
ing ignorant of the industry L thought
1 couldn't do a better thing than lor
cate near people who have had con
siderable experience in that line.
Now you will have some idea of the
kind of information / want.
/ wish to combine the raising of
goats with the clearing of brush land.
That is, after the land is cleared of
brush, it would be good and suitable
for general farming. Now, can you
give me these details:
l. The address of one or two relia-
BILE breeders.
2. The outlook regarding market
for mohair and carcasses.
3. How neal to town and school
can | homestead
A. Where can 1 get literature and
map describing the placeG
s. Can you give me price for good
Angorass
Information the Club Wants.
The Commercial club, through it's
secretary and president, has answered
the above letter, and promised to send
lnlS RtHtAtHldh vi AhlOi hidbAoh thob
can be secured. Send by mail to the
Greater Salem Commercial club, Sa-
lem, Oregon, whether you reside in
Marion county or not, number of acres
of land suitable for goat raising,
where located as to postofice, ad-
dress Of owner, amount of improve
ments on land, if any, price per acre
asked for the land, number and price
of Angoras if You have any for sale.
This will enable the Commercial club
to give information direct to the man
from Nevada and others who are in
terested in the goat industry. A spe-
cial interest attaches to the profits of
the goat business, and if those hand
ling goats will give the club accurate
information on that subject a printed
statement will be issued and circulated
by the thousand through the CORE
spondence committee of the CONNER
cial club.

Of Interest to Thin, weak People.

OF Interest to Thin, Weak People.
1t is perfectly understood by every
sick man or woman that if they can
get some remedy that will stop the
gradual loss of flesh and strength, their
recovery is assured. People that are
nervous and unsteady, with dizzy
spells, weakened memory, and loss of
ambition, their blood is thin and
watery. 1t shows in their sallow com
plexion and tired manner, soon as they
commence to gain flesh they look bet
ter and sleep better. To gain from 1
to 3 pounds of good solid flesh per week
the blood must be made rich and pure.
DR. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic puts
in the body the very pith Of what
makes pure rich blood in the most di-
rect way, and cures disease by making
strength. This tonic is in tablet form,
to be taken right after meals. Sold by
all druggists for 75c per box, or 3 for
90. For women's weakness a better
remedy wal never made.

The government, if it would elect to

While admitting that the present

successful, ! must ask by whom was it
made so? do not wish to hold back
one atom of credit due the contractors
or the brains that has organized the
whole, but the fact remains that the
mail carrier, working for a small wage,
daily carrying his life in his hands, has
made the mail service possible, while

HOW JUDGE PARKER
SENT THE TELEGRAM
Spent Moments in a Brown Study
While Riding His Horse

ESOPUS, N. T., July 11.-Light was
thrown on the history of the now fa-
NOUS Parker telegram and the reply
to it of the Democratic convention at
st. Louis By close friend Of Judge
Parker, who said:
when Judge Parker went to bed
at 9:45 Friday night he did not know
anything at all about the financial side
Of the platform which had been agreed
upon, more than was outlined in the
very brief bulletin telephoned from
Kingston. When informed at $50 a.
m. of his nomination he knew no more
and the first real knowledge he had of
the action of the convention on the
financial plank in the Platform was
when he read the New York morning
papers. Immediately after breakfast,
"a little after o'clock, he started for a
horseback ride. Before mounting a
telegram was handed him giving a
concise outline of the platform.
From the moment of his reading OF
that telegram 1t was noticed that he
was very much preoccupied and as he
rode off his head was bowed as if in
deep thought.
About 10:30 o'clock he rode up to
the railroad station, asked for tele-
