STOMACH TROUBLES
CURED WITHOUT DRUGS.
Letter Published BY Request Of Our
Well-Known Druggist, @. w.

WITHOUT DRUGS.

Tc che Editor Of the Capital Journal:
"Believing that the people Of Salem
will be interested in cures by such a
simple remedy, and as so many letters
of this kind are constantly coming to
our attention, l ask you to publish the
following for the good it may do 9th.
ers. "
Mr.. Thomas G. Wallace, of Detroit,
Mich, writes: CATER being troubled
with loss of appetite and stomach
trouble and trying many medicines
without any benefit whatever, com
menced to take Vinol, and l am very
much pleased to state that IL has cured
my stomach trouble, given me hearty
appetite, and / am stronger and in bet
ter health than have been for years. "
Mr., Putnam, in referring to Vinol,
said; "You see, Vinol is guaranteed
to contain no drugs, and is such sim
pie, wholesome preparation with re-
markable curative powers. 1t contains
all the healing and strengthening ele-
ments contained in cod liver oil, but
without drop of oil or grease to upset
the stomach and retard its work
Every few people who suffer with
stomach trouble can take other forms
of cod liver oil and emulsions or sick
ening drugs, but Vinol strengthens and
tones up the weakened nerves Of the
digestive organs and enables the suf.
ferer to digest with ease the very foods
that once caused distress. Vinol helps
to change this nourshment into pure,
rich, red blood and invigorates and
strengthens the entire body.
"We ask exery person irf Salem suf'
fering from stomach trouble to try
Vinol on our guarantee to give them
back their money if it does them no
good. This is an honest offer" Geo.
W. Putnam, druggist.

ITALIAN MURDERER
MUST PAY PENALTY

The supreme court today handed
down the following decisions:
State of Oregon, respondent, VS..
Frank Gugliemo, appellant; appeal from
Multnomah county; affirmed February
20, 1905; on motion for rehearing, de-
MED. The opinion was handed down
by Justice Moore.
The last ray of hope which remained
to Frank Gugliemo, the murderer, has
disappeared, and he must pay the death
penalty for his crime. Such was the
decision handed down by the supreme
court today.
1t was contended by defendant IS
counsel for rehearing that the district
attorney had not power to charge a
felony.
The bill of exceptions claims that
the bench warrant was issued without
authority by the district attorney.
The decision of the circuit court de-
nies the petition saying that the de-
fendant had been arrested for the
crime of which he was convicted and
was confined in the county Jail when
the information was filed; therefore,
an immediate issuance of warrant
was unnecessary. The petition for re-
hearing was denied.

law and they determined to fully in
vestigate the entire school land scan
dal which had been the subject of more
or less comment for a number of years
The Marion county grand jury that
sits April will conduct the investiga
ton and according to the statements
made by parties on the inside, that body
will find little trouble in returning a
number of indictments against Puter
and several others who assisted him in
securing the land.
When the enormity of the offense is
realized, involving land worth hundreds
of thousands of dollars and costing the
common school funds of the state large
sums in both principal and interest,
the punishment that will be meted out
to them will be swift and heavy. When
circuit court meets next month the jury
will take charge of the cases under the
direction of District Attorney McNary
and another prominent attorney of this
city, who is well versed in the trans
actions of the gang of operators. The
prosecution is determined that each and
every offender will be brought to jus
tice and the developments will more
than likely be of the most sensational
nature.

SCHOOL LAND RING
WILL BE SMASHED
Men Who Have Robbed the State viii
Be Brought to Justice

The state school land frauds will be
probed to the bottom. This is the pres.
ent intention of District Attorney John
McNary and he is backed up by Gov
ernor Chamberlain, State Land Agent
West and Circuit Judge Burnett. The
investigation will be thorough and not
a stone will be left unturned to bring
all guilty parties to justice.
For several years there have been
rumors Of gigantic swindles being per-
petrated in the state land department,
involving many men well known in the
state. Tales concerning the operations
of the school land ring have been at
various times whispered and told, and
occasionally have found they way into
the columns of the press, but they have
been winked at until the present in
vestigation was set on foot by the Of
ficers mentioned.
Only a short time ago it came to
light how S. A. D. Puter had hired
several residents of this city to file
on school land, paying them small
sum for their services, the claimants
turning the land certificates over to
Puter before completing their filings.
This action of Puter aroused the state
land department and the officers of the
