MAKE IT
WARM FOR
GORDON

Edward Sam Gordon, reputed mil
lionaire lumberman of Coos Bay, has
troubles of his own, so IL you hap
pen to meet him, don't ask him Ii
it is hot enough for him.
Gordon made a liberal settlement
with Bertha Eta Lurch, who claimed
for years she was his wife. but he
always claims he never married her.
Watever were the facts In that
tangle of matrimonial meshes, II was
supposed Ed. Sam probably sup
posed he was free at last. But an
other woman bobs up-another wife.
This last woman claims to be the
only real. genuine, name blown-in-
the bottle Mrs. Ed. Sam Gordon, and
hints darkly at bigamy. The two
women ate lunch at the same restau-
rant in Oregon City Tuesday. and.
to all outward appearances, were to-
tai strangers to each other. 1t Is
intimated, however, by people who
have talked with both, that II the
two claimants to Ed. Sans love ana
affection and ducats were to meet
privately they would need no intro
duction. and they wouldn't scrap
either
Just what the woman last on the
scene Is after hasn't been disclosed
yet. but 1t is reasonable to presume
she will very soon make her wants
known.

READY
FOR THE
FOURTH
Parade. Sham Battle. River Excursion.
Fireworks. Ball Games and Music

The Fourth of July committee
held another enthusiastic meeting in
the Board of Trade rooms last night,
reported the various arrangements
which have been perfected and sug-
gested ideas for salem's big eelebra-
tion.
Del Dinsmore, chairman of the pa
rade committee. reported that the
work in his department was pro-
crossing nicely. and that many OF
the features in the big march would
be new, and the parade, as a whole.
would be a surprise.
He asks that 40 boys between the
ages OF and IL years volunteer to
help him on the morning of the
Fourth. He did not fully explain
what would be required of the boys,
but said he wanted 40 good, live,
patriotic boys" TO help in the parade,
and that the work would be inter St
ing. The first 40 boys who apply
will be given the work.
II was decided to use every effort
TO eliminate the use of explosive
canes. The leading dealers in fire.
works in the city have agreed to not
sell the torpedo canes on that date,
and IL any one is found using them
on the Salem streets, the nerve-rack-
ing device will be Immediately con.
fiscated.
A big excursion will be run from
Independence to Salem by one of the
big river steamboats,, which will ar
rive in Salem at S o'clock a. m. This
will enable hundreds of Independ-
enee people and the citizens of that
vicinity to spend the day in Salem.
Rollin X. Page. f. G. Deckebach
and Captain Charles Murphy form a
committee which has charge of the
sham battle that will be fought be-
tween the Woodburn and Salem COM
panies.
The baby show committee was
voted an additional SIS with which
to purchase more prizes.
Steps have also been taken for the

sprinkllng of the streets. 1t is ex-
pected that a carload of oil will ar
rive in day or so, and that the same
will be applied to the streets, which
the owners of property adjoining
wish sprinkled. 1t is advocated by
many that water sprinkling will be
much more satisfactory than the oil,
as the latter would not have time to
penetrate the dust that would be car
ried by the throng to the sidewalks
and into the places of business.
Arthur Goss has been awarded the
contract to put up the flags across
State and Commercial streets, and
motion that all business houses be
asked to close at 10:30 a. m. was
unanimously carried.

Pe-ru-na Should BE Kept In
Every Household
Where There Are Little
Children.

Poruna should be kept in the house all
che timo. Don't wait until the child is
sick, then send 10 drug store. But,
have Poruna on hand-accept no sub
etitute.
Children are especially liable TO acute
'oatarrh. Indeed, most of the affections
aof childhood are catarrh.
All forms OF sore throat, quinsy,
Group, hoarseness, laryngitis, etc., are
but different phases OF catarrh.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. &.
one reason why Poruna has found per-
imanent use in 80 many homes Is that 1t
contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna, IL takon according 10 printed
directions, Is perfectly harmless. II can
be used any length OF time without
acquiring n drug habit. II does not
produce temporary results, but II IL per-
manent in its effect.
IL has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving tho cause ~ catarrh.

SHE FORGOT.
Halsey Woman Puts Jewels In Stove
With Usual Result.

A story Of forgetfulness that Is
seldom equaled IS reported by Hal
sey visitors to Albany to the effect
that Mrs. Emma Allen. of that place,
became alarmed by the presence OF
several suspicious looking strangers
last Saturday, and being widow,
who lives alone, and with a large
sum of money in the house, together
with somo valuable jewelry. placed
money and jewelry in a tin box and
deposited them in the firebox of the
kitchen range. She forgot her fears
of the stranger men with the coming
of the dawn, likewise her wealth,
and built fire and got breakfast be-
fore she remembered. Her jewelry
was ruined. She declines to state
what condition she found 1t In, or
how much money she had to burn.

The chronic ailments IL has prevented,
the suffering IL has mitigated, will never
be fully recorded.
But at least this much can be said that
the coming generation owes a great
debt - Peruna, for IL is in the tender
years of youth that slight ailments are
liable to develop into lasting disease,
thus blasting the whole career OF the
individual.
