VICIOUS PRISON FIGHT.
Convict Cuts Fellow Convict Litter
ally Into Mincemeat Before Beaten

Olls
The Salem Capital Journal de-
scribes a fight which occurred in the
state prison Saturday as follows:
Soon after going to work this
morning, or a few minutes after s
o'clock, Convict Charles Smith, serv-
ing a 15-year sentence for burglary,
from Wasco county, got in a quarrel
with John Cravers, a fellow convict,
the row starting, according to Crav-
ers statement, over Smiths insisting
that he, Carver. should do a larger
portion of the work assigned them.
Suddenly Smith drew a knife-a
vicious looking little evident
ly manufactured in the prison shops,
and slashed Carvers across the face,
cutting through the ear and the flesh
both in front and behind it, for a
couple of inches, and slashing deep
enough to penetrate the drum of the
ear. With another vicious slash he
gashed the abdomen of his victim,
exposing his intestines, and with an
other slash he cut Cravers' throat so
that the cartoid artery and the jugu-
lar vein were exposed, though neither
was severed.
He also gashed the victims wrists,
and in fact had a regular whiting
match. The whole affair was done
so quickly that the guards could not
Interfere.
DR.. Shaw, the prison surgeon, re-
paired the damages so far as possi-
BILE, but is somewhat doubtful of era.

CoNsULTs FORESTRY MEN.
President Burgess Confers With Of
ficials - Sheepmen's Charges May
Be Hard to Prove.

]. N. Burgess, who is the president
of the Oregon Woolgrowers' associa-
tion, in addition to being the head Of
the Cunningham Sheep & Livestock
company, with headquarters at Pilot
Rock, was here on last Tuesday for
a conference with Forest Supervisor
Ireland Of this division of the Blue
mountain forests. says the Blue
Mountain American.
The association has preferred
charges against A. S. Ireland, the su-
pervisor Of the western division sta
toned at Prineville (no relation of
Mr.. Ireland in Sumpter) the super
visor (Schmidt) at Walla Walla, and
]. NJ. Sullens, chief ranger for this
division. The matter is being very
thoroughly sifted and it is now said
that the associations evidence, which
was based on the vaporings of herd
ers and camp tenders, is showing up
lame. except as to Ireland, of Prime
vile.
None of the men now under charge
propose to retire under fire and there
is a likelihood that the investigations
will be made quite extensive before
decision is reached.

ASSESSMENT INCREASE.
Grand List Raised by Readiust-
 mont

The board of assessors have read justed assessments on property in the city in some sections. raising values where the conditions seemed to demand increases and lowering them in other sections.
 The reassessment shows that the val ue of land has increased to sS50. 900
 The largest increase has been on Congress avenue, between George and Lafayette streets. in Westville and on Edgehill road. In Congress avenue. owing to the increase In business on that street the property has steadily been going up in value. In Westville and on Edgehil road there has been a large boom in the building business and more people are building in this district This naturally increases the value of property on the tax list.
 The sum of s35o,00o will be added to he grand list of sl,52s, 2sooS, estimated for 1908

For weak, worn-out, over-worked wom. en-no matter what has caused the breakdown, "Favorite Prescription will be found most effective in building up the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, strong, vigorous con dition of the whole system.
 Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abound in most valuable medi- cinal roots for the cure of most of our obstinate and most fatal diseases, if we would properly investigate them; and, in confirmation of this firm conviction, he points with pride to the almost mar vicious cures effected by his vGolden Medical Discovery" which has proven itself to be the most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart tonic and regulator, and blood cleanser known to medical science. Not less marvellous. in the unparalleled cures it is constantly making of woman many peculiar affec- tions, weakness and distressing derange. ments, IS pr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton, as is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed by grateful patients who have been cured by it of leucorrhea, painful periods, irregularities, prolapsus and other rdisplacements, alteration of uterus and kindred affections, often after many other advertised medicines had failed.
 Both these world-famed medicines are wholly made up from the glyceric extracts of native, medicinal roots. found in our American forests. The processes employed in their manu. facture were original with Dr. Pierce, and they are carried on by skilled chem ists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances specially designed and built for this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from alcohol and all other harmful, habit forming drugs. What is said of their power to cure the several diseases for which they are advised may be easily learned by sending your name and address to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for little booklet which he has compiled, containing copious extracts from numerous standard medical books. which are consulted as authorities bv physicians of the several schools of practice for their guidance in prescrib- ing. It is FREE TO ALL. A postal card request will bring it.
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. Constipation is the causa of many diseases. Cure the cause and you cure the disease One rPelletn is gentle laxative, and two q mild ca. thartic. Druggists sell them, and nothing is "just as good" They are the original Little Liver Pills first put m bv old Dr. Pierce, over 10 years ago, Much initiated, but never equaled. They are tiny sugar-coated granules- easy to take as candy.

It was a slight. little woman, with a marvellous head of bushy hair of a dark auburn shade, a frail little wom- an whose voice, at the beginning, was scarcely stronger than whisper and whose thoughts came at that time scarce easier than those of a faltering school girl, yet who, as she proceeded, seemed to be nathing less than in- spired The words, the thoughts and the wonderful descriptions fairly flooded the New Haven theater.
