It Looks Different.

Judge Alfred II. Tanner, law partner
of Senator John H. Mitchell. pleaded
guilty to perjury last Saturday in the
Federal Court at Portland. He had
previously sw orn that his partner, Sen
ator Mitchell, did not Share in the
money which Tanner had accepted from
land swindlers, He now implicates
Senator Mitchell in illegal transactions.
While THE LEADER has steadfastly
adhered to its belief in the innocence
of Senator Mitchell, it is now plain
that the Senator's best friends cannot
fail to realize that cloud rests upon
his reputation which will be hard TO re.
moye. Should he, however, after a
thorough investigation, be found blame
less, the people of Oregon will rejoice
practically as unit. for Senator
Mitchell has served the state for MANY
years in manner which has won him
almost universal respect and admira-
ton.
Congressman Williamson having also
been indicted, Senator Fulton alone OF
Oregon's four representatives at the
National capitol is left to look after the
interests OF the state. 1t is a hard
blow'-humiliating to the limit-but
there is nothing to do but wait till the
clouds roll by, hoping, trusting-yes,
praying, that the situation may soon
assume roster hue, and this erstwhile
honorable and able trio be vindicated

of some wonderful cure of some form

cannot be accounted for in the sum

as there is a loss of cohesion and adj

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How IA Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
Indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood i'll the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures Mt best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief i'll head
aches caused by an9mia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said "Dr.
