FEEBLE
MINDED
INSTITUTE
Arguments That Are En-
plOyed TO Secure the Ap'
prOpriati0n

A strong delegation, headed by U.
w. Jones, superintendent of the state
blind school. are working hard to Sc
cure the establishment of a home for
the feeble minded and epileptics,
that is to be located on lands already
selected near this city.
Pamphlets and statistics are circu-
lated among the members, and fol-
lowing is a copy of one of the statis-
tical arguments employed to back up
the bill introduced by Miller of Linn
and Marion:
How Feeble Mindedness Grows.
The following figures were taken
from the records in the Office of the
State Board of Charities of indiana:
In 511 families in which there Is
feeble mindedness there are 1924
persons. OF these 1343 are in public
institutions, 1249. or 65 per cent of
all DtlnB iStDlt hilhuSus VI thN
males 1913 per cent are illegitimate
Twenty-Five per cent of the females
have given birth to illegitimate chill
dren.
Another group of 241 families has
go members. OF these 221 families
have two generations of feeble mind
edness; 16 three generations; three,
four, and one has five generations
The number of direct descendants
who are known to be feeble minded
is 726 or 74.S per cent of all.
Nothing reproduces itself so sure
ly as feeble mindedness.
Can Oregon afford to place no
check upon it? If the state fails to
give care and protection to this class
It will certainly reap a class of pau
pers, feeble mlndedness and crime.

A horse which was being driven by
Fred l.. PIERCE of Cony street became
unmanagable' on Cony hill shortly af-
ter o'clock last evening, and turning
sharply, threw out both Mr. Pierce
ana his mother aged ~ years. Tho
horse then ran across the bridge and
along Water street. At a point i'm front
of the store of Harvey & Daggett, the
horse, with the carriage still Gathering
behind, started to take to the side
walk and tried to make its way be-
tween the sidewalk and a team which
was standing there. AS a result the
runaway horse was thrown down and
was quickly held by policemen and by
ISLANDERS. The horse was cut a little
but not seriously, and the carriage was
not badly damaged. Mr.. Pierce is
meat cutter in the grocery store of
Lucius Hill. formerly that of Hill &
Folsom. His mother was quite badly
shaken up.

"Hearts Adrift" at Island Park.

'Hearts Adrift," a strong melo-
drama was presented yesterday by the
Fenberg Company at Island Park. and
is a play cleverly written and staged
admirably. The acting was of a
most satisfactory quality. Miss Irv-
ing played her part with admirable
consistency and finished dramatic
ability, showing, the true artist. Harry
Mckee is to be credited with careful
and discriminating impcrsonation and
gave his admirers ample cause for the
high esteem they put on his abilities
and is sure to become valued MEM
her of the company, this being his first
appearance. Alma Rutherford also
made her first appearance ana was
charming All the members OF the
company filled their respective roles IN
a. painstaking manner. The play
moves naturally and logically to the
climax and the interest is sustained to
the end, when the author ingeniously
cOntrives to straighten out matters ana
all ends happily. as it should. New
spccialties were introduced and 1T was
a performance long to be remembered.
A large crowd attended the dance and
this resort is certainly becoming I'M

The fire department will hold trial
Of the deluge set and the cellar pipes
on the bridge at go this evening. At
that time two blows will be sounded on
the fire alarm system, which will be
the signal for the horses to be har-
messed and the run made to the bridge.
Three lines Of hose will be laid to the
center of the bridge, and these will
then be coupled to the deluge set,
which combines three streams from
as many hydrants. into one heavy and
powerful stream. The deluge set has
been used in this city only on few
occasions. 1t is very serviceable at
times when there is a big fire in which
the water of an ordinary stream would
almost entirely be turned to steam be-
fore it had penetrated to the lower
part of the flames. After the deluge set
is tested the cellar pipes VIII be
coupled on. These have never been
used at fire in this city and there is
a great deal of curiosity to see them
operated. Many Augusta citizens have
remarked recently that they have new
err seen the horses harnessed for a fire
and the spirited dash out of the hose
houses. This evening will come such an
opportunity. as everything will be in
readiness. but nothing will be actual
ly done until after the alarm strikes.

of alighting from car No. % of the

that the man was clear of the car AS
the car started. the veteran chung to
one of the grab rails and as result
was dragged several feet and finally
thrown to the pavement. The man
struck in such a manner that his head
came i'll violent contact with the paw

he was bleeding freely from a cut over
the left eye and swelling as big as
an egg at once appeared over the eye
He also wrenched his hip in some way
and hurt his hand. He expressed a
wish to go to Winthrop, and after be-
ing cared for as well as could be done
under the circumstances. he was put

DON'T PUT 1T OFF LONGER.
Get Rid of That Indigestion at Once by
Using Mi-o-na.

Either through slackncsS or careless
ness hundreds of people slowly poison
themselves by chronic indigestion. BY
neglecting to cure at once any slug
gishness of the important organs Of
digestion the system is filled with fer
menting and decaying food that re-
suits in sick headaches, heartburn, bad
taste in the mouth, coated tongue,
specks before the eyes, sleeplessness,
nervous troubles and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result
of Indigestion.
The want of perfectly safe yet ef-
fective cure for indigestion and stom-
ach troubles in their many forms was
felt up to the time of the successful
Investigations that resulted in the pro-
duction of Mi-o-na stomach tablets
They quickly cure the worst cases of
indigestion, and the pain and distress
which are often felt after meals dis
appear in a very few days-such is the
wonderful curative power Of Mi-o-na.
The old fashioned medicines for
stomach troubles merely digest the
food, while Mi-o-na strengthens the
digestive organs SO that they soon be-
come able to care for the food that is
eaten.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost but
SO cents a box and do more real good
than a dozen boxes of the ordinary
digestive tablets. Bowditch, Webster
& Co. of Augusta and Geo. w. Dorr Of
Waterville give an absolute, I'M
qualified guarantee to refund the
money if Mi-O-na fails to cure.

Summer Refreshment.

1t must be n dainty morsel to tempt
us in the hot summer afternoons and
evenings, and yet an appropriate little
spread is just the thing to refresh one
on an oppressive day.
1t is impossible to buy fresh biscuit
or waters in bulk. To be good they
must be newly baked and perfectly
protected.
The National Biscuit Company
comes to the rescue with biscuit and
waters of all kinds in moisture and
dust-proof packages that So preserve
their oven freshness, that their real
age dates only from the time the
package is opened.

LAUNCH RACES
At CObbossee THURSDAY
Prove Very Successful.
The Sailor, Psyche, Pilot and
kaydid the Winners.
Weather Perfect and Large Crowd
Enjoys the Sport.

| The launch races of the Cobbossee-
contee Yacht Club were sailed yester-
| day afternoon under the most favor
| able conditions. The weather was all
| that could be desired and there was a
large audience of enthusiastic specta-
| tors present. Twelve starters appeared
| in the first class, but it was soon evil
dent that the race was between The
Sailor. owned by C. S. Hichborn, and
| the Katie M. owned by H. r. Mooney.
Both are large boats built for speed
| and from the start it was rather doubt
| full which one would carry away the
| 'Rurlcigh Cup" The latter boat had
| just been fitted up with a new 90 H. p.
Atlantic engine, making it the most
| powerful boat in the feet. But the old
| saying. there's many slip 'twiNt cup
| and lip was again proved to be true,
| for under the careful sailing of her
| captain the Sailor was victorious even
| Though she was behind nine seconds on
the start. Nevertheless she caught her
| competitor and though there was but
| half a length difference at the finish
she won by 50 seconds.
In the second class the Psyche was
| the seventh boat to cross the starting
| line but during the two trips around
| the course she made up the distance,
finishing first in 81 min. and IS sec.
The third class contained seven start
ers and the "COmmodore's Cup" fell to
the Pilot owned by d. c. Robinson.
The fourth class was won by the
katydid in 80 min. 8 sec. This was the
last boat to cross the mark and with
the loss of about three minutes by d
break she caught the boat ahead, which
had u start of min. and II sec, passed
margin.
The winners were as follows:
First class-The Sailor, c. S. HIGH
born, ''Burleigh Cup" The Katie NJ,
II. T. Mooney, second. JOyolon, J. f.
