Threshing has begun around North
Yamhill, in Yamhill county, and the
yield is very disappointing. The grain
Is badly shrunken, which was caused
no doubt by the aphis. Gray winter
oats are light and spring oats are
almost a failure. Some fields are not
worth cutting. Reports coming in
from all parts of the county point to
the same conclusion that the crop as
a whole will not be more than two
thirds of former years.

Cures Kidney and BIad-
der Diseases i'm Every
Form Many People
Have Kidney Trouble
and DO Not Know It.
HOW TO FIND OUT.

1t is the function of the kidneys to filter
and purify the blood which is constantly
passing through them.
When the kidneys are out of order the
other organs are affected Immediately
and you may have symptoms of heart
trouble, stomach and liver trouble, and
other ailments, which are all owing to the
kidneys being weak and out of order.
If you are sick FOIey's Kidney
Cure will strengthen and build up the
worn out tissues of the kidneys so they
will act properly and the symptoms of
weakness, heart, stomach and liver
trouble will disappear and you will be
restored to perfect health.
How 10 Tell u You Have Kidney Trouble.
You can easily determine if your kid
neys are out of order by setting aside for
"a hours a bottle of the urine passed
upon arising. If upon examination it is
cloudy or milky or has brick-dust sed-
iment or small particles float about in it,
your kidneys are diseased and FOIeY's
Kidney Cure should be taken at once.
FOIey's Kidney Cure is pleasant to
take and acts directly upon the parts
affected and you begin to feel better
at once.
1t corrects slight disorders in a few
days and it has cured many obstinate
cases after other treatment had failed.

Fell Before Wife and Son.

New York.-By a curious accident
which for tragic intensity has seldom
had it's parallel. George F. Knapp,
banker, fell to his death Wednesday
morning from the fourth story of his
home In the Cornseca apartment house,
on West 9th street.
The efforts of his son, Herbert, to
save him, and Herbert's despairlng
cries for aid, as he felt the heavy body
slip from his relaxing grasp; the su-
preme endeavor of the unhappy vic
tim himself, keenly conscious as he
plunged downward, to cling to the
coping and cheat his fate, and the
agony of the wife above, who, helpless,
looked on, are all part of story which
told itself in a few words.
Knapp was 81 years old, in the prime
of health and vigor, and weighed al
most 200 pounds. He was the cashier
of the Cooper Exchange bank of 20
Avenue A. He suffered an attack Of
vertigo. staggered to the window, and
fell out. HIS son anu "sss-4.-s44s.4--..-.-

Gov. Douglas. with his council and
full STAFF. accompanied by Lieut.. Gen,
Nelson A. Miles and Lieut.. Gov. Guild,
arrived in the early afternoon Gov.
Douglas was given an ovation such as
no other governor ever received at the
fair, the crowd OF $4,000 applauding
and cheering as the official party ar
rived and was escorted to the special
box, which had been arranged at the
front of the grandstand for their re-
ception.
The horse show started in the early
forenoon. Eben d. Jordan of Boston
was the chief prize winner.
There was a good exhibition by the
jumpers in the small ring and by the
hunters in the large ring, and these
classes seemed to meet with the most
popular favor, although many admired
and applauded the giant horses exhibit
ed by DR.. Hartman of Columbus, o., his
percheron horses and German coach
horses being the most superb animals
of their types ever seen here.
A. Roy Knabenshue and his airship
again supplied the big disappointment
of the day The king of the air"
made an attempt to visit the place
where the clouds ought to be early in
the day, which is more than he did
the day before. The crowd
waited ready to cheer while the air
ship was borne out of it's tent and
made ready.
1t rose easily and gracefully, but on
ly a short distance. Then the wind
took it against a flagpole, and the net
ting which holds the body to the gas
bag was torn. The sky-sailor throw
out his lines, and his attendants
pulled him back to earth.

WILL NOT LET UP.
President Roosevelt Stands Firm on
the Railroad Question.

Washlngton,--The president mas
emphatically reiterated his views on
the rate question. He has made 1t
plain that he has not changed his
opinions In the slightest and has no
intention to abandon the campaign to
place the control of ratemaking under
federal supervision.
One of the presidents recent call
ers was Representative Townsend OF
Michigan, one VI the joint authors OF
the railway rate bill that passed the
house last session, but was buried in
the senate committee on interstate
commerce.
Mr.. Townsend came to Washington
at the request of the president to
talk over the question with him. At
ter seeing the president, Mr.. Town
send said that the prosidont Onter-
tanned in principle the same views
that he held last December, as ex-
pressed in his message to congress
at that time. He believes that either
the interstate commerce commission
or some other tribunal should have the
power to determine rates. The presi-
dent does not insist that the inter
state commerce commission or a spe-
cially created body should be empow-
cred to make rates, but that it should
have the authority to declare rate
unreasonable when such is shown to
be the case.
The Esch-Townsend bill will be in
troduced early in the next session,
and Mr.. Townsend feels confident that
it will pass the 'house with little op-
position. The bill will be substanti-
ally the bill of last session, but it
will be strengthened and made clear
er in some particulars. Mr.. Town
send will have further conference
with the president later.
It is stated positively that Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou has changed his
plans and will not resign the chair
manship of the national Republican
committee at an early date. Mr., Cor
telyou intended to turn over the man.
agement of political affairs to Harry
S. New of Indiana, vice chairman OF
the committee, but the disclosures
made in regard to campaign contribu-
tions from large corporations have
seemed to make 1t advisable that Mr..
Cortelyou retain the chairmanship un-
til the pending investigation is fin
ished.
