Keystone State Contribution.

The Keystone state, Mrs. Alexander En-
mis- Patton. re gent, had the largest ovation.
possibly. because its contribution was one
of the largest of any single state contribu-
tions. In addition to S6I9 given by the
Daughters of Pennsy lvania Mrs Patton
announced that the Legislature Ivy special
enactment, had given 5000 for the compile
ton of Pennsylvania memorial column and
that the society had empowered her to say
that ii would assume the cost of the finish
ing Of the vcstibule. Great enthusiasm
followed this statement by Mrs. Patton,
and She was given public expression of
thanks.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey got an ova-
ton also when she announced the Dis
trict Daughters donation of lbs for the
hall $50 To be expended for the library,
and $50 for the Districts room in the hall.

SITUATION SERIOUS
TRAINS SNOW BOUND In DA-
KOTA And MONTANA.
Wires Are Down and Coal Is Scarce
and Unless Fuel and Food Stufs

Minneapolis, Mimi Jan. 13.-The
northern transcontinental railroads
face a serious situation. No less than
10 Pacific coast trains carrying thou
sands of passengers which should
have already reached this city or are
due within the next IL hours, are
snowbound in Montana or North Da-
kota.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads are suffering greatly
in Montana, while the 500 road or
ficials declare that a blizzard which
is raging in North Dakota is the worst
in the history of the road and that
two or three trains are now blockaded
somewhere between Minot and Valley
City. Wire communication has been
cut off in numerous cases by the
breaking of the telegraph wires.
| The coal situation in North Dakota,
too, has reached an alarming point,
according to information received
here. The following notice has been
sent to agents along the Great North
ern: Superintendent have been in
structed and authorized to furnish
coal to any station on the Great Nor
thefn where they are short and are
actually suffering for lack OF fuel. III
your station is out of coal you should
promptly notify your superintendent.
A prominent North Dakotan, in
speaking of the fuel famine, said: III
these conditions continue indefinitely.

hausted and this will add to the pre-

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 13-The

ME Westhoff, domestic, victims of a
holocaust at Cottonwood at midnight,
We're taken Saturday morning from
the ruins of the residence of Matt F.
Fuchs, manager of the Nez Perez Co

were so badly burned that recognition
was made possible only by the size OF

The fire was caused by the. explo

room occupied by Miss Westhoff and
Hilda. This threw burning oil all over
the bed, instantly enveloping both oc
cupants in a sheet of flames. 1t is
doubtful if either had time to jumI
out of bed before they we're cremated
The elder of the two Fuchs boys
who slept across the hall, was awak

time to grasp his sleeping brother b,

drag him downstairs. He awakene

Ada, unbeknown to anyone, follow

ing, became overcome with smok
and was cremated. She was nc
missed until too late to enter tn
house and search for her.
The house was completely destro.

partly insured. Fuch was at Kamia

OREGON SOLIDS.

Although Dan Kelly of the Univer-

champion sprinter of the world now
that the Amateur Athletic union has
allowed his record of 3-5 seconds for
the 100-yard dash, his head has not
been turned by the extraordinary ath-

SWINDLE IN A GAMBLE.
Arrest in Washington of "Get Rich
Quick" Men.

Washington, Jan. 16.-What is
charged by the police to be scheme
to defraud a Washington physician
out of $4,000 led to the arrest of Frank
F. Romans of Paris, France, and Da-
vid t. Tanner, alias Townsend OF
White Plains, N. Y, on the charge Of
conspiracy. The men were arrested
after Thomas ]. Kemp of this city had
told the police that Tanner had made
a proposition to enter deal to put
a New York gambling house out of
business.
DR.. Kemp declares the men assured
him that by investing $4,000 he could
easily win from 100000 to 100000
within one week. The "get rich quick"
scheme, according to DIR. Kemp's re-
port to the police, was that DR.. Kemp
was to pay $4,000 and Tanner, who
claimed to be manager of the gamb-
ling house, was to tip Romans and
the physician off on the run of the
cards in a faro game"

70 AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.
Sentiment in the Nation Said to Be
Slowly CrystaIIlzing.

There is slowly crystallinzing SEN
timent in favor of a convention to be
held to amend the constitution of the
United States. The sentiment is not
restricted to any one particular local
ity, but it seems is taking root pretty
generally. 1t is the consensus of opin-
ion in these circles that the highly de-
veloped and complex civilization of the
country presents problems that de-
serve the attention Of the mater minds
of the nation at this time.
The list Of topics which has formed
the basis Of suggested constitutional
amendments in the past need not be
rehearsed here in detail. 1t is long
list and includes many topics which
would not be likely to receive serious
consideration.
Some Of the most important matters
which would come before the con-
vention, however, would be as fol
lows:
Enlarging the presidential term to
six years and making the president
ineligible for reelection.
Uniform marriage and divorce laws
throughout the union.
Election of United States senators
by the direct vote of the people.
Female suffrage.
Providing for the immediate assem-
bling of congress after election.
Changing the date of Inauguration
day.
Authorizing the president to vet
single items in appropriation bills.
Restricting the veto power Of tn
president so that it will be less diff
cult for congress to pass any measur
over his veto.
To decline more clearly the jurisdit
ton Of the courts, in their relation t
the legislative branch Of the govern
ment.
These are few of the topics whic
have been suggested as affording
reason why constitutional CONVEX
ton should be called. Many other
. would doubtless be considered.

Are Patent
Medicines Frauds !?

We are often asked the above
question, and our answer has in
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell fraudulent medi-
cines. Our business depends on
pleased customers-in fact any
business does. Therefore, we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
our customers. We are very care
full of what we guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know it pretty we'll
what it contains and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex
all line of remedies, particularly
Rexall Mucu-Tone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time of the year. Mucu- Tone is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
ninety-eight per cent of its pur-
chasers are going to be benefited
and will return to our store
pleased customers. Mucu-
is a positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Catarrh. 1t is without a
doubt the peer Of all tonics for
any one who is suffering from
rundown condition, can't work,
feels constantly tired or suffering
from the more plainly described
symptoms of Catarrh-such as
stopping of the nose, cold in the
head or bad cough" a
1t must be remembered that Ca
tarrh is not confined to the nose
and throat. 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting of tissues, as in the case
of little Miss Dillon, of Albany.
Here is letter from her father:
MY little girl had catarrh so
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the
nose. Snuff and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief. | saw the adver-
tisements of Rexall Mucu- Tone,
but | could not believe that any
thing taken in the stomach could
cure the sore membranes of the
nose. However, / took ,advan-
tage of your free trial offer and
my girl began taking your remedy
according to directions. | want
to say right here that Much Tone
is certainly the greatest medical
discovery Of the fines. and to
thank YOU for the liberal offer
that first induced me to give it
trial. Muco-Tone has cured r-y
daughters catarrh completely.
The discharge has stopped alto
gether, and her breath is as sweet
as can be. Again thanking you,
MATT. DILLON, "a N. Swan ST.,
Albany, N. ""
We are selling large trial bot
tie of Mucu-Tone for fifty cents
on the famous Rexall guarantee
Of your money back if you are not
satisfied. We promise that one
bottle will put flesh on your bones
and bring new vitality to your
system.
