The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-05-03

Mark Twain, who was present and
assisting at the San Francisco earth
quake of 1868, reports that it was an
unpleasant occasion when a number of
the best citizens, who were supposer to
be totally opposed to the Sunday sa-
loon. were seen rushing out of bar
rooms with billiard cues in their hands
This shows the mysterious power of
earthquakes, power that enables them
to throw leading citizen out of his
bed. hurl him through the wall of
billiard room and cast him forth
through the opposite wall, grasping a
billiard cue. But it is not power pc
culiar to earthquakes. Cyclones have
been known to do very similar things.

Teams of as many as five mules

from which hung rows and rows of
bells, tlnkled in merry unison as
they pulled faithfully at the heavily

with their load of earthenware or
wine caks, hung from a swinging
platform beneath the axle as well as
piled high above 1t. The drivers
with their savage dogs sat lazily,

Her Name Was Maud.

A team belonging to E. w. Smith
the Liberty groceryman, started
from in front of Wells-Fargo's office
this morning for a run. One of the
animals wears her wings on top OF
her head, and answers to the gen.
tie name of MAUD" Why they
wanted to run will never be known,
but it is probable the horse was
ashamed of his companion-in
broad daylight-and Maud, per-
haps got her eye on the express
company's tariff schedule-anyway
they both started for the elsewhere
at the same time, but were stopped
by S. f. Peck. a hard-hearted street
car conductor, who just gathered
them in. No damage was done, ex-
cept the breaking of few straps.

VinOI'S Reliability
Prominent Physicians Join With MIR
Brady I'm recommending Vinol.

Countless physicians and druggists
are now prescribing and indorsing
Vinol as the most valuable cod liver
oil preparation known to medicine,
and 1t is fast superseding all other
forms of cod livel oil and emulsions.
A prominent physician writes: 81
am satisfied that Vinol derives its
wonderful life-giving and strength
creating power from the medicinal
curative elements found in the cod S
liver. 1t is the best strength crea-
tor and vitalizer for old people, weak
women, children and the GONZALES
cent that / ever saw"
Another physician writes: 81 could
cite many cases where health has
been restored in a surprisingly short
time by Vinol. l should be very
sorry to have to do without Vinol in
my practice. 1t has no equal for
hard colds. throat and bronchial
troubles"
NOW, wnen we tell you that we
have never sold in our store a rem
edy of more remarkable curative and
strength-creating power than Vinol,
for the weak. the sick and the aged,
and that. If it fails to accomplish
that we say 1t will. we will refund
your money without question, it
shows our faith in the preparation.
Try Vinol on our guarantee, G. w.

for Vinol in Salem. 1t is now for sale
