Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work I'm

Most Pendleton people work every
day IN some strained, unnatural po-
sition-bending constantly over a
desk--riding on jolting wagons or
cars-doing laborious housework; lift
ing reaching or pulling, or trying the
b. K IN hundred and one other ways.
All these strains tend to wear, weaken
and njure the kidneys until they fall
behinl in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys put new
strength in bad backs. Pendleton
cures prove it.
:. a. Morris. retired, who lives on
Park avenue, and is well known to
Pendleton people, says: II was troub-
led with my kidneys of and on for
three years. In early lays, had
worked in a shirt factory in Rock
ford. ILL.,, standing all day at a bench
and later on l became a motorman
on an electric car. That, too, kept me
on my feet all day and aggravated my
complaint, II it did not start it. 1t
annoyed me through the day more
than at any other time. / finally got
a box Of Doan's Kidney Pills at the

Sweoish Hiksda0 refuses the Demands
OF the People.
1t is feared that the hopes of q suf-
frage reform in Sweden will not be
realized. The first chamber of the
riksdag at it's meeting recently re-
jected the governments general sui
frage bill by vote of 1876 to IL. It
was not expected that the first cham
Der would pass the bill, but none ex-
pected such an Overwhelming defeat.
The second chamber will pass the bill
by a substantial majority, but with the
unexpected strength shown by the OPP
position, in the upper house the
chances of passing the measure in
joint session are considered practical
~ impossible unless there is decided
change of heart. The action Of the
upper house created much excitement
throughout Sweden. An extra mill
tary and police reserve has been ar
ranged for in the event of possible
disturbances.

Results Of the Cod Fisheries.

The season for the catch of cod is
now over, except in Finmarken, and
the results are not what was once ex-
during the first half of this month
completely spoiled the favorable po-
sition of the fisheries at the end of
March and set the returns back by
several millions. In fact, the first half
of April may be considered as practi-
cally lost.
The total catch for the country up
to April % was 36,100,0O0 cod. Last
year it was 34,SO0,OO0, and in 1904
S6,20O,OOO to the corresponding dates.
The amount of medical cod liver oil
is 32,425 hi. While thus the total
catch is not much better than last
years, and must be counted in as one
of the many poor seasons, the by-prod-
ucts, liver and roe, have been of better
quality. The prices have ruled high
the last week: in Dofothen, $3.50 kro-
ner for 100 fish, and SIS ore a litre
for liver; sailed roe, 30.35 kroner .
barrel; medical cod liver oil, 50 kro-
ner barrel.
The Finmarken fisheries are now
looked forward to with expectations Of
making up the deficit from the other
districts. At the end of this month
about 1000 boats and 5000 men were
in that port. Indications for fair r.
suit are apparent, but it depends upon
the weather. So far the Finmarken
catch is far below the average.
The herring fisheries ('vaarsild')
have brought 439, 100 barrels, against
1917 200 in 1905. The price obtained
for the article packed in ice has been
about 20 kroner per case, mainly sold
in the British market.
The first few salmon have been
caught in the Christiania bay. 1t comes
high as yet, 6.7 kroner per kilo. Tho
first few mackerel have also arrived,
but it will be month before it be-
comes popular"

An Interesting Man Gone.

Ole Peter Hanson Balling, once a
colonel in the United States army and
chief for the New York volunteers un-
der Gen. Grant, and later under Gen.
Burnside's command, died recently.
He was born in Christiania eighty
three years ago, where his father con-

er's trade, but he very soon showed
tendencies for something higher; he
wanted to be an artist. He went to
Berlin, where he worked at his trade,
and at the same time studied at the
art academy. In 1916 he returned to
Norway as an artist. Two years later
the war broke out while he was at
Copenhagen, and he enlisted as vol
unteer in the Danish army and re-
NAMED in that service until 1856. He
advanced to first lieutenant.
From Denmark he went to New
York, where he worked as a portrait
painter until the Civil war broke out
when he joined the army with the
rank of captain. During fight he
was shot in the right shoulder and
had to retire as an officer, but he fol
lowed the army as an artist. While
the siege of Richmond was going on
he was the guest of Gen. Grant, and
he there made studies for his famous
work, Gen. Grant and His Generals, .
for which he received the sum of $685.
900. Balling has painted portraits of
many American officers and states
men, among them one of Lincoln.
In the seventies he returned to Nor
way, where he made series of por-
traits for the naval gallery at Karl
Johans Verft. In 1879 he visited
America again, and in 1881 he made a
trip to Mexico, where he painted a
portrait of President Juarez for Pres
ident Diaz. On his return to Norway
he was appointed consul for Mexico,
the first consular representative Mex.
scO ever had in Norway
For the last two years Mr. Balling
has been infirm. He drew a pension
from the United States since about
1859.
