Eczema and all skin diseases are al
SO caused by Uric acid poison In the
blood Eczema, Scrofula, letter, Pim-
pies on the face. etc, are but another
FORM in which Uric acid poison mani
tests itself. In Eczema and letter the
poison sluffs off In scales, In cases OF
Scrofula It is emitted from the skin In
the form of pus. NIn the treatment Of
these diseases II is impossible to cure
them by local or external applications.
You may remove the symptoms but you
cannot cure the disease. 1t can only
be done by removing the Uric acid
from the blood. Life Plant does this.
In fact II never fails. We have O. rec
ord of innumerable cures of Bczema
and Scrofula that have been cured by
Life Plant. We have cured cases of Ec-
zema OF 20 years standing. We have
cured many cases where the patient
was almost entirely covered with sores
and scales. we have cured them when
their hands and wrists were cracked so
bad that blood would run from them,

you are. One bottle will stop the Itch

Scientists and physicians all agree
that cancer Is caused by an excess of
Uric acid in the blood and the only way
IL can be cured Is to remove the cause
Uric acid. Life Plant Is a perfect Uric
solvent and Is the only cure now known
for cancer-not a case has 1t failed to
cure. Hitherto i'm treating cancer, ope-
rations have been resorted to. These
operations I'm themselves are very dan
gerous and nearly always result In fall
ure. The Uric acid poison cannot be
removed in this manner and the most
that can be expected from such treat
ment Is temporary relief. We go d.
rectiy to the cause and remove 1t, we
have been successful beyond our best
hopes we can furnish the names of
hundreds we have cured. The first bot
tie stops the eating sensation and
starts the healing, the second bottle
will show marked Improvement and the
final cure will be quick and certain.
Just how much of this remedy will be
required to cure you depends upon the
severity of the case. Many cases are
$500 to get cured of cancer? Life
Plant will cure you for II has never
failed to cure any case We guarantee
IL In every case. The most dangerous
waste matter In the system is Uric
acid which causes every case of cancer.
We cure the disease by removing the
cause. Keep the blood pure and you will
enjoy good health. This results by using
Life Plant and this is the way by
which its wonderful cures are effected

FEDERAL GRAND
JURY ADJOURNED
ROOSEVELT NOT SATISFIED
WITH INVESTIGATION.
Rumors of Several Indictments In
Packing House Industries are
Heard at Chicago.

Chicago May 21-The United States
federal grand jury investigating the
methods of packing house industries
here for several weeks, has adjourn
ed until June 7.
Although rumors of several indict-'
ments have been rife, none were re-
turned on the real matter of investi-
cation.
The reason for the adjournment by
the people who conducted the investi-
cation is the desire of the government
officials to obtain time to go over the
evidence collected. They say they wish
10 see if sufficient evidence has been
secured to warrant the finding of in
dictments, to see whether the evidence
is complete in all branches, and to de-
eide whether the evidence should be
considered as being legally against
corporations or against individuals
From other sources it is rumored
that the real cause of the adjourn
ment is that President Roosevelt Is
not satisfied with the conduct of the
investigation and results so far at
tanned.
Beginning March 20, the investiga-
tion lasted through two months, or ex-
actly AZ working days, and cost the
government in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Thus far the net results of
this expenditure Of time, money and
labor have been the following:
Indictment of Thomas j. Connors,
general superintendent of Armour G
Co., on the charge of contriving to in
huence and intimidate witnesses.
Indictments of Joseph Weissenbach,
attorney; Both S. Cusey. George d.
Hopkins and Leo s. Joseph. all Of
Schwarschild & Sulzberger Co.. on the
charge of obstructing a deputy mar
shall in serving subpoena.

ing to create a condition of public
sentiment, while the actual shippers
the men who in the long run would
influence legislation-have been negli-
gent to their own interest and have
done practically nothing to continue
the campaign for railroad rate legis-
lation which was inaugurated so sue
cessfully last winter.
1t is true there will be no regulation
of railroad rates by any new act Of
congress unless the shippers associa-
tons, the western legislatures and
supporters of the president generally
take immediate action. The railroads
have been very clever in their tactics.
They have made it appear to the sat-
isfaction of good many members of
congress that public sentiment has
radically changed on this one subject.
Congress is to be called to meet in
extraordinary session Nov. 10 next to
take up railway rate legislation.
The decision of President Roosevelt
to this effect is fixed and final. Vari-
Gus reports concerning his intentions
have been in circulation for several
months, but the president is in dead
earnest about railway rate legislation.
All reports that ne was wearying or
tagging in the campaign for railroad
reform are erroneous. He means BUSH
ness. He will go just as far as he
point and secure results.

To Sell Echo Land,

H. L. Moody, of the Moody Land
company of Spokane, left last night
for Spokane. He will spend the sum-
mer with his family at Occur dAlene
lake and return to this city about the
first OF September to handle the sale
of the lana of the Inland Irrigation
company. The Moody Land company
has been appointed the sole agent for
the sale of the tract of 10000 acres
near Echo which the 30-mile Furnish
ditch will reclaim. Offices will be
opened in Pendleton and also in Echo
for the sale of this land and it is ex-
pected that little difficulty will be
fund in disposing of the land at from
$50 to SIS per acre, the price depending
upon the location of the land. AS the
alfalfa land around Echo can not be
bought for less than 500 an acre, it
is expected that the land to be re-
claimed will find ready sale.-East

TWO PENOLETON MEN ARREST.

Defendants Will Test the New law II
Oregon Under Which Complaint
Was Made.

PENDLETON, July 25.-At last an
arrest mas been made under the state
law prohibiting the sale of liquor to
Indians, and the legality Of that law
will be tested. 1t was at the instiga-
ton and upon the complaint Of Pri-
vate Secretary Valentine that the ar
rests were made, and the same was
done Saturday evening. On that eve
ming complaints were made before John
McCourt, deputy district attorney, BY
Mr.. Valentine, charging two men whose
names were then unknown, with hav-
ing sold one pint of spirituous liquor
to Simon Whitman. The men were
Bird Livermore, of the City Brewery
and Dave Carlin, a bartender in the
Red Front saloon. This morning they
were presented in the circuit court an,
asked to be allowed until Wednesday
morning in which to plead, which was
granted.
1t is the intention of the prisoners to
fight the case and Carter & Raley have
been secured by one and Judge Fee by
the other, as attorneys for the defense.
Should the men be convicted it is sal
that the matter will be appealed to the
supreme court on the ground that the
law is unconstitutional. However, a
hard defense on technical grounds is
looked for first.

Evans Said to Have Skipped.

Ernest Evans, the sheep man, on a
small scale, after borrowing all he
could on the 1900 head of sheep he
owned and mortgaging a field of grain
in which ne is said to have only owned
half interest, mas departed for parts
unknown, says the Pilot Rock Record.
Mr. Evans has had domestic troubles
and was given to gambling, which
combined, proved his downfall. He was
generally considered an honest man
and a good manager, but was unable
to curb his passion for the gaming
table. 1t is said he has left behind
several unpaid grocery bills. Herbert
Boylan has taken charge of the sheep
for the mortgages.

this consisted of arranging bond with
the understanding that if a. line was

the owners of the land were to be paid

CHALLENGES ANY THREE.
Preacher Offers to Fight When Church
Members Call Him Down.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, July 90
Rev. William Matthewson, pastor Of
the Swedish Valley Methodist church.
created a sensation during the Sunday
service by offering to fight any three
men in the valley.
The challenge came as the climax OF
members of the Masonic and other
secret orders. This time his remarks
were resented and a public quarrel
followed, several of the leaders in the
church assailing the minister while he
was in the pulpit.
Mr.. Matthewson declared from the
pulpit that no member of the Masonic
fraternity should have a place in the
church. and that no minister who was
a member of the order had ever had
successful revival. He savagely at
tackled, at the same time, the Grange
and Odd Fellows.
Tn the midst of his narangue Hiram
Lent and Warren Whit. two sprom1-
nent members of the church, challenged
his conduct, asking him to confine his
sermon to topics of religion. He ord
cred them out of the church and then
issued a challenge to fight any three
men. Matthewson is a converted
voodsman, and mas up to the present
time been successful in the ministry.
His challenge has not been accepted.

STOPS WARS BLOODSHED.
No More Fighting in Far East UnIes:
Peace ENJOYS Disagree.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-There will
be no more hard fighting in Manchuria
unless all present plans are upset.
President Roosevelt's move in the
direction of permanent peace, although
it has not resulted as yet in an armis-
tice, has been none the less successful.
His personal influence with the two
belligerents has been such as to bring
about a condition of affairs which
renders it extremely unlikely that
there will be any more big battles.
The Russians do not like to humiliate
themselves so far as to make distinct
request for an armistice. and the Jap
anese. as the victors, do not consider
it their duty to propose a cessation of
hostilities.
What looked like a serious deadlock
has been obviated by the recent arrival
at a distinct understanding, which is
quite as good as an armistice, although
it never will appear in the official rec
ords.
When President Roosevelt undertook
to mediate between Russia and Japan
ne was not nearly so anxious for per-
manent peace as for the cessation OF
actual fighting. The war between
Russia and Japan has been the bloodi-
est in the worlds history, and the
president soldier, though he is sports
