The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the

Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. so

THIS paper is not entering into
the several disputes already in.
augura,cd within the council-bu,
il would call attention to the fac,
that the document signed by J. II.
Black aud read by Councilman
Shields at the meeting Monday
evening bore no weight. II was
not sworn statement Of facts-but
a mere presentation Of rumors: and
to endeavor to suspend any official
upon mere gossip would not stand

According To an evening paper Of
Portland Il was the intention Of Mr..
Shields 10 personally make the
charges-and this action, II sworn
to, would have been a weighty
matter. As this was not done the
repeating of mere rumor could not
resul, in the suspension OF anyone,
The very fact that few moments
after a trial to suspend all hos,ilities
apparently ceased and Mayor King

Try 10 Meet.

Wednesday evening the city coun-
ell tried To have an adjourned meet
ing in order To comply with the
terms OF the charter, Mayor King
has adjudged Z. ID. Edwards not a
member OF the council and the
charter specifies tha, when a va
cancy occurs in any elective office,
the council shall, al its next regular
meeting proceed to elect by ballot, a
person To I'LL such vacancy, who
shall possess the qualifications of
the original incumbent; provided,
that II such vacancy shall not he
filled within the time above limited,
the council shall meet and ballot at
least once each day until such va
eancy shall have been filled"
Several OF the council coincide
with the mayor in the belief that
Mr.. Edwards official career has
ended-hence the desire is To meet
daily and, as near as possible, con-
ply with the charters demands.
No quorum being present an ad-
journment was made To Thursday
evening.
Mayor King then said he would
be pleased 10 hear from any OF the
half hundred present upon the con
ditions now existing and the reme-
dy for the same, Several speakers
made remarks although no "sides"
were taken with any vindie,iveness.
There is enough loyalty in ST,
Johns to permit every man To enjoy
his own opinion and make it known;
but the public decries any acts car
ried TO an extreme. The general
trend of the talks seemed toward
arbitration and that at once.
Every day this warfare continues
there is bound to he more bitterness
shown; and before long neighbor
will be arrayei against neighbor
aud the situation become the more
unbearable.

OpSTtNACY

OFFICIALS have now decided
that lndisnss anti-cigsret law Is
null and void--in other words, the
crushing out Of the habit Of smok-
ing the measly little things has
proved a fzzle and more are now
smoked than before the legislation
was created. Since the law went
into effect the increased Use OF
cigarets among children has been
fully 900 per cent.
When a person is prohibited
from committing any one act-one
which is not a crime-the inherent
obstinacy of the American people
usually is aroused-and the act is
frequently committed just to show
that il can be- II matters not what
may be the prohibited act: American
people dislike dictation. The law
cannot be 50 construed as to make
the purchase or use Of any article
illegal II is the selling or dispensing
of il that constitutes the wrong.
II is not unlawful (even in pro-
hibition towns) to buy or drink
liquor. merely to sell or dispense
the stuff is where the wrong comes
in. And IL was not made unlawful
in Indiana to smoke the pesky little
things or to buy them: 1t was the
selling of them that was the wrong.
But this was easily evaded by the
dealcrs-who sold the tobacco and
gave away the papers through the
mails.
And now the officials are anxious
TO rescind the law-all because
people are so obstinate.

An Old Revolver.

J, ID, Handy recently brought to
THR REVIEW a little brass pistol

years old-as il descended to Mrs.

figured, This is apparent because

fomented and encouraged by few
unprincipled people who, for ulterior
purposes. desire to see this city AN

persons have succeeded IN stirring
up strife and have constantly urged
trouble because Of two reasons: the
first to "get square" for some trivial
grievance. the second TO aid by all
possible chicancry a few Portland
capitalists who were anxious to
have St. Johns annexed TO that

A LETTER FROM THE MAYOR
To the Citizens Of
St. Johns.

! hereby submit a reply to tn,
infamous insults and charges which
have been preferred against my
name and honesty, by irresponsible,
men who are endeavoring to abro,
gate the fundamental principal OF
the law given To the city OF ST.
Johns by the act of the state legis,
lative assembly, regular session OF
1904.
Here are the facts in the case OF
I. ID. Edwards; He sold his prop,
erty for certain consideration; the
deed and mortgage were left with
me III escrow, together with his res
lgnation as councilman OF the first
ward-signed, but not dated. By
way OF explanation, | will say | did
not make said sale or have any
thing to do with it, farther than as
above stated, The day Mr.. Ed
wards called for the mortgage he
dated the resignation and left il
with me to file with the city record
er, which | did causing a vacancy
OF his office according to section %
OF the city charter.
As | was sworn under oath to fill
the office of mayor and to uphold
the city charter ! could not recog-
nlze the office otherwise than va
cant, Mr., Edwards asked to with
draw his resignation, which was
denied him, and should il have
been done, II would have been inn
possible to have him reinstated-as
the charter distinctly states that one
must be a treeholder to be eligible
to hold Office.
IN .retore, again, | would be
breaking my oath of Office to allow
ms reinstatement.
As TO the charges which have
been brought against me, they must
he proven, and as | have recourse
by the courts for slanderous libel |
VIII only say that | have in no way.
OF IN any manner, done anything of
winch | am ashamed, or which will
cast reflection upon my reputation
OF OF honor as an officer of the city of
St Johns.
As the facts are brought out |
am positive that the insincer;,y
the duplicity and underhand meth
ods OF personal spite will be laid
bare. ''a
Yours respectfully,
W. II. KING, Mayor.

HELD \ MINUTES.
Met at 1857 and Adjourned at
sos.

Pursuant to adjournmen, the city
council met Tuesday evening-with
Mayor King in the chair. Attorney
Young was present on time--but
Attorney McGarry was sidetracked
one car and succeeded in being bit
late. He didn't realize the council
was in hurry.
Following roll-call Mr. Shields
read resolutions favoring suspension
Of Mr.. Peterson. Upon motion to
adopt, roll.call showed Leggett,
Brice, Shields and Edwards favor
ing: Peterson, Thompson, and
Lindquist denying Mayor King
ruled that il was a tie vote, as he
had declared Mr.. Edwards not a
member of the council. Motion
was at once made by Mr.. Shields to
adjourn to next regular meeting
seconded by Mr.. Brice: roll-call
showed Messrs. Leggett, Shields,
Brice and Edwards favoring adj
journment: others opposed.
Adjourned time n minutes.
After adjournment, Attorney
Young read his opinion in the
Edwards matter and declared that
he would risk his reputation as a
lawyer upon the assertion that
Edwards was not legal member
OF the council. In the opinion was
the statement that il the recorder
persisted, in spite of the order OF
the mayor, in reading the name OF
Edwards at roll-call, he could be
suspended or forced TO relinquish
his onice-should the mayor so see
fit.
Gentlemen, said Recorder
Hanks, as he slowly arose to his
full height, II took an oath to
support the constitution of the
United States and the state of
Oregon when I assumed the duties
of this Office. I've read law
probably more years than Mr..
Young, although ! don't pose as a
lawyer: and I believe that up to
this time Mr.. Edwards has not
been legally ousted from his office.
| make the records precisely as
they occur and make them com.
plctc: but no one faction is going TO
force me TO break the law as ! see
IT,"
II have tried to keep out OF all
this trouble, p" continued Mr.. Hanks,
and I'm going to. I'll read
Edwards name just as III read
Peterson name until one or both
of them shall be legally put out of
Office. ! don't propose to do the
swearing that I'll do my duty and
then allow anyone TO force me to
do otherwise. You can put me out
OF Office II you want TO: but YOU
can't make me do anything but
what | believe is my dutyr'
The name of Daniel Brccht was
then proposed as a successor to c.
ID. Edwards and received three
votes. A motion was then made
to adjourn to Wednesday evening,
August 90, as the charter directs
in case a vacancy is 10 be filled,
and the motion prevailed.
