tain while working for you and
pay them something for their hard
work training for the occasion

We wish to call special attention
TO the al OF Messrs, Muck * Derric

This is the kind OF advertisements
that pay. Here YOU can see just
what YOU are to pay for your goods,
Another thing. We all know
Muck * Derrie, We know them
TO be honest, honorable, upright
business men, but when YOU 90 To
the city you do not know what
you are going up against. Here
you can phone Muck x Derrie il
you have not time to go for your
goods and they will deliver them
to you. Look this list over aud
you will find many articles as
cheap or cheaper than they are in
the city. Why not trade at home
then and save your car fare anu a
half days timer II would not be
half as tiresome to walk eight or
ten blocks to their store and look
their goods over as To walk half
dozen blocks TO the car line here
aud three or four miles on the
in Portland looking for
particularly when You
can do as we'll or better at home.
Think of this. II is the people
who think that get the best OF
every proposition anyway.
St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1907-12-13

A petition is being circulated and
freely signed by the citizens asking
for the establishment of justice oi
the peace district for st. Johns.
We are not yet fully posted on
the situation but have been in.
formed that the nearest justice OF
the peace is located at Mount Tabor
and that there are fewer hundreds
of nearby citizens tributary to that
point than there are thousands
to St. Johns. Therefore we
trust that every citizen of St.
Johns will sign the petition asking
that o. X. Downs be appointed to
the Office during the remainder Of
the present term and that the pow
ers that be may grant the request.
II would be a matter of the sim
plest justice that this be done and
we hope our people will take that
interest the matter which will re-
ceive recognition at court.

Why could not St, Johns have q
free ferryl There is a free ferry
at Sellwood with about half or les,
population than we have here and
there are several free ferries along
the river where the traffic is not
half what II is at ~, Johns, We
would be in favor of concerted
movement of our people in this
direction at the first opportunity
aud we believe the present ferry
people would sell their boat at a
reasonable price to aid such prop
osition. II is a fine boat and would
meet every requirement here ior
several years. Why not get to-
gether in the city hall sometime
soon and discuss this matter. the
new charter, the new city dock,
city park and a number of other
propositions which are OF intense
interest to our cityl II does no
good to spout around on the streets
about these matters and do nothing.
Let Us get together and accomplish
something definite

FACTIONS IN OHIO.
What Postmaster Bryson Thinks of
the Situation.

Mr.. c. H. Bryson. postmaster at Athens,
Ohio. is in this city and in an interview
last night said:
The situation in Ohio, from a republi-
can standpoint, is worse today than it
was when Secretary Tafts presidential
boom was launched. Then the state
seemed to be almost unanimous for him,
but now there is a sharp cleavage be-
TWEEN the two factions which. if not
closed up, may throw the state into the
democratic column next fall.
There should be compromise such as
was suggested many months ago; this
provided for the Endorsement of Taft for
President and Foraker for reelection to
the Senate.
Unless harmony is restored the contest
will continue until next year. and then
Secretary Taft. even thought nominated
by the national convention, would prob
ably lose the state"

CAMPFIRE WAS
PLEASANT EVENT
BY POST COM
MANDER PETER WEST.
Milarkey Hall Well Filled With Old
Soldiers During the Afternoon
Hardtack and Coffee Were Served
Songs and Campfire Stories Were
Enjoyed by Large Attendance.

The campfire given at Milarkey hall
this afternoon by Kit Carson Post No.
2S, of the G. A. r., was one of the
most pleasant events of the year in the
history of the post. A large number
of old soldiers attended and a real
jollification was held. Stories of the
war were retold, hardtack and coffee,
the soldiers fare, were served and
number of songs and addresses were
enjoyed.
Invitations were sent out by Kit Car
son post to confederate soldiers to take
part in the campfire and a number
of the boys in grey were present to
enjoy the hospitality of the reunion.
A number OF members of the G. A. R.
from outside of Pendleton were pres
ent and the event was highly enjoyed.
Commander Peter West, of Kit Car
son post delivered the principal ad-
dress of the day which was in part as
follows:
Soldiers of the late war: We have
met here today as a united brother
hood of the United States of America
under one flag, in the grandest nation
beneath the sun, in a government by
the people without kings or queens
United we stand, shoulder to shoul-
der an army of peace and industry
which challenges the world. A coun
terpart of this nation has never beer

seen in the world. other nations have
become great and prosperous, but
none have ever so successfully met the
as this nation.
In the late war in this nation II was
diamond cut diamond. The men on
either side were brave and courage
Gus and some of the hardest battles
of history were fought on American
soil. Father and son We're arrayed
against each other and out of the
intense feeling of the war has grown
splendid nation united for peace and
progress.
1t is safe to say that never again
will such brave men be pitted against
each other. And when the war was
over it is safe to say that no better
citizens ever blessed any nation.
We recall the days when tin plates,
tin cups, hardtack and black coffee
We're luXuries. From our present
prosperous era 1t is easy to look back
to that day, but the experience was
| today.
our ranks are becoming THINNER
and thinner each year and must of ne
cessity disappear altogether in time
for there are no new recruits. Only
those who served can belong to our
order.
Monuments will be erected, flags
will be placed upon the graves of de-
parted comrades, and programs will
be rendered perpetually in commem-
Grafton of our services, but the grand
est monument we leave is the govern
ment of the United States.
In joy and brotherhood we live to-
gether, the blue and the grey, await
ing that day when each of us will
finally be mustered out in that other
country from which no travellers re-
turn.

BUYS HIS HATS OF BAILEY.
Cayuse Wreck Leads to a Peculiar Co.
incidence.

After every train wreck, such as the
one near Cayuse, Wednesday, unusual
features come to light, and the follow
ing incident is one of much interest.
Among the passengers from the ILL
fated train who stopped off in Pen
dleton following the wreck was c. c.
Cameron, an electrician who was
bound from Pittsburg, Pa, to Port
land. During the wreck his hat, a
black derby, became badly smashed,
and while here he sought to replace
the damaged lid. During the forenoon
he dropped into Bond Bros store
and was waited upon by D. B. Bailey
who returned west but few months
ago after having held position with
Eisner & Phillips, at the corner OF
Fifth avenue and Wood street, ir
Pittsburg.
In fitting out his customer with G
, new tile Mr.. Bailey CHANGED to notice
the old one with It's firm stamp with
in. The familiar mark was like th'
sight of a long lost bIbther to th'
salesman and as he glanced at hi
customer the latter recognized hin
as the man who had sold him the ha
in Pittsburg. When Mr.. Cameron ha,
been fitted out with new hat he lef
his old one with Mr. Bailey as a sou
venir and it is much priced by tn
popular furnishing goods seller.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
JESSE ROWI4F,Y DRANK z,
A PINT OF POTASSIUM
Despondent Jail Prisoners Life Was
Saved by Prompt Discovery of His
Condition, and Energetic Work by
a Physician-Rowley Admits He
Tried to Take His Own Life-He
Claims Innocence of the Crime for
Which lie Is Under Sentence.

Despondent over his recent con-
yiction and the ravages of an incur
able disease, Jesse Rowley tried to
end his life in the county Jail yester-
day afternoon. That he did not sue
ceed was due to the fact that he did
not have sufficient poison and the
prompt medical aid secured.
1t was about o'clock Yesterday
afternoon that Rowley made his at
tempt at suicide. A solution of po-
tassium was used, the prisoner having
some of the stuff in his possession
for use in a treatment which he had
hem taking While other prisoners
were not looking he drank nearly a
pint of the strong solution and at
once became violently i'll. Learning
of his condition the deputies in the
office hastily summoned a physician
and Dr. T. NJ. Henderson administer
ed something to counteract the ef-
| feet Of the caustic. However Row
lev was in much agony for some time
and this morning declared that he
felt "burned out" in his mouth and
stomach.
That he wilfully tried to end his
life was admitted this morning by
Rowley and he declares yet that he
will never go to the penltentiary He
swears that he has been wrongfully
convicted Of robbing young Short and
says that he can never stand the life
in the penitentiary. Consequently II
is possible he may make another eff
fort to kill himself.
In many respects the case of Row
ley Is q stern warning to those VIII
choose to follow the Shiny path o
sin. He is but % years Of age an
= until wrecked by disease and dissi
patton was splendid type of physi
I cal manhood. He Is Of a good an
well-to-do family in central Wash
ington and in time will come into a
estate of from $4,000 to $4,000. BIZ
owing to the wild life he has led hi
relatives have refused to uphol
him. though the sum Of 5000 wa
sent him yesterday According
Rowley he will try to have his cas-
appealed.
