SUCCESSION TO
GOVERNORSH|P
is Rife ov-
er Contingency.
CHADWICK CASE Is QUOTED
President of Senate Would be
Second in Line Should Ben.
son Succeed Chamberlain,

son succeed Chamberlaln.
The contest over the Presi-
dency of the State Senate is of
particular interest at the coming
session of the Legislature be-
cause, in case of the election of
Governor Chamberlain to the
United States Senate, the Presi-
dent of the Senate would be Sec
ond in succession to the Govern
ship. The fact that Secretary of
State Benson has been ill several
times during his two years of
service and that there have been
umors of his resignation, makes
the Presidency of the Senate
still more important.
The constitution provides that
in case of vacancy in the office
Of Governor, the Office shall de-
volve upon the Secretary of
State. The Supreme Court has
held that under such a contin-
gency the Secretary becomes Gov
ernor in fact and that he con-
tinues in Office as Governor even
though his term as Secretary
may terminate, That ruling was
] made in the case of Governor,
Chadwick, who held both Offices;
at one time. The term of office
as Secretary ended when the
| Legislature met, but Chadwick
asserted and exercised the right
| to continue as Governor until
the new Governor had been in
augurated, which took place sew
eral days later.
1t is therefore apparent that
if Governor Chamberlain should
become Senator, Secretary Ben
son would become Governor. He
could then resign as Secretary
and appoint his successor in that
position for, under the decision
of the Supreme Court in the
Chadwick case, he would hold
the office of Governor regardless
of his incum bency as Secretary.
Tie question then arises wheth-
er, in case Benson should resign
the Governorship or die or suf-
fer other disability, the office of
Governor would devolve upon
the President Of the Senate or
upon the newly appointed Sec
retary of State.
| In case of a double va
cancy occurring at the same
time, there could be no doubt
that the President of the Senate
would become Governor, but
since the Supreme Court has
held that the Secretary may con-
tinue as Governor, though he
ceases in the meantime to be
Secretary of State, there is a
doubt whether the President Of
the Senatewould take precedence
over an appointed Secretary of
State. Since the contest over
the election of q Senator and the
fight for the Presidency of the
Senate has waxed warm, there
has been considerable discussion
of these questions around the
capital.
| Secretary of State Benson is
now in fairly good health, though
still suffering from a malady for
which he received treatment
while in California last summer.
His severe illness soon after his
installation as Secretary of State,
when he broke down under the
strain of overwork, raises a doubt
whether he would or could un-
dertake to fill the two offices of
Secretary and Governor. Lawyers
have frequently questioned the
soundness ofthe Supreme Courts
decision in the Chadwick case.

SCHOOL PUPILS
ASKED TO HELP
Geographic Board of
Oregon Wants Aid
LOCAL HISTORY IS SUGGESTED
Teachers and Scholars Ma,
Confer Lasting Benefit Upon
the State by Cooperation.

II OoAlOA AuC oiuS IL uNAU pun
the State by Cooperation.
The Oregon Geographic Board
recently appointed appointed by
Governor Cham berlain to super
wise the naming of geographic
features in the state, and of
which Prof. J, B. Horner, of this
city is treasurer. has issued an
address to the people of Oregon
to aid in the work which the
Board has undertaken. In the
collection Of data it is suggested
that as the public school system
extends to every part OF the COM
monwealth, and teachers and
pupils are of necessity interested
in the subject of the geography
in which the school is located,
that both teachers and scholars
have it in their power to confer
a lasting benefit upon their
State by merely introducing into
their schools as general exer-
else subject which will be sure
| to vitalize the work in both geog-
raphy and history. We refer to
the study of local names in the
school district. Let each teacher
supervise the preparation Of an
alphabetically arranged list of
all places in the district possess
ing names. After the names are
collected, let her, with the aid of
the pupils, prepare a brief state
ment Of the history of each name.
To illustrate
Foulweather, Cape, named by
the explorer Captain James
Cook, in 177S, because Of the bad
weather he encountered while
passing that point,
Roseburg, town in Douglas
county, named by Aaron Rose,
| it's founder.
The pupils will inquire of
their parents, or Of pioneers, or
other well informed persons, as
to the origin Of names. They
will come to take an intense in
terest in the subject, and will
discover a new significance in
their environment, both geo.
graphical and historical. They
can readily be led, also, to sug-
gest d list Of places deserving Of
names, but not yet supplied, and
to make suggestions as to appro-
pirate names for them. This
will afford opportunity for Ian
guage exercises. The teacher
should select from the places
listed such as are clearly worthy
of special designations, and de-
scribe them in brief report to
the Board. She should also send
in the names suggested for them
and of the persons making the
! suggestions, stating in each case
the reason for applying the par
ticular name. If a map Of the
school district can be prepared,
and the names indicated upon it,
ia further service will be rem
dered to the Board and a valua-
BILE additional exercise afforded
the pupils.
The Board, will, in its pub
ilished reports, give general cred
lit to all who shall assist in the
work of collecting information,
and it will make special mention
OF the names of pupils in each
county who furnish the Board
with the best and second best
map of their own school district,
with all place names properly
indicated upon it. It will also
give special recognition to the
teachers in each county who
shall supply the Board with the
best lists as follows ..-..-.

BATES COLLEGE,
Hathorn Hall Now Has a Piano, the
Gift Of n. w. Berry.

Lewiston, Me-, Oct S-(SpeciaD -
Students and faculty at Bates were
surprised this morning by the most
acceptable gift of a piano from H. w.
Berry of Boston. For some time there
has been d need for a proper musical
instrument for the chapel in Hathorn
hall. The piano that has been used
there for some time was the gift of
Mr.. Berry. The instrument that ne
has presented this time is one of the
finest built upright pianos that the
market produces. This is the 18th
piano that Mr.. Berry has presented to
the college and the student body took
opportunity to express their apprecia-
ton for his donations by rousing
cheers and tigers for Mr. Berry. The
class presidents are at work now,
drawing up resolutions OF thanks to
this friend of the college who has al
ways been 50 generous in his con-
tributions to the needs of Bates. Every
society. every hall and every dormi-
tory possesses d piano which has been

though the wound is of Iserious ma

d 32-calibrc revolver, has not been To-
Gated.
The shooting occurred at about I
o'clock Thursday morning. Mr.. Sher-

the other members of the family When
he suddenly arose and went into the
hall, from which the sound of a pistol
shot almost Immediately aroused the
family. He was found lying on the
floor and near him was the revolver.
Or. w. A. Bumps was summoned and
on examination found that the bullet
had evidently been aimed at the heart,
but had entered above the heart and
had struck rib and glanced SO that
it passed through the tissues and
lodged beneath the left arm. Had It va

have been instantaneous. After the
physician had dressed the wound the
man rested comfortably and at noon
Thursday was no worse. The affair is
deeply regretted, as Mr.. Sherburne and

Kodol In The
Daily Papers.
Representative of Large Chicago
Advertiser Says Newspapers
Are Best Media to Ex-
plot Commodity.
Requires Much Space and Intel
ligent Analysis to Tell
About kodol.

There is but little if any doubt
now existing amongst experienced ad-
vertiSerS that daily newspapers are
much more effective for the general
advertiser than all other forms of dd-
vertising that may be adopted The
modern daily newspaper contains more
character than any other form or
medium of advertising. and is con-
stantly increasing in value because Of
its recognition by the reading public
as an absolute necessity This is
particularly true in our business, and
we are going to spend more money
with newspapers this year than we
ever did to advertise kodol."
This is the positive statement made
by DR.. j. ID. Fancher special re-
preventative of f. C. Dewitt & CO..
Chicago, H.. one of the leading con-
Germs of that city that is advertising
generally over the United States.
DR.. J. ID. Fancher is in this city
today in the interest of his company
and his statement is especially note
worthy in view of the fact that E. c.
Dewitt &, Co. are at the present time
engaged on a very important advertis
ing campaign on Kodoi, the well
known preparation for indigestion and
dyspepsia.
I'VE could never begin to tell the
people fully and intclliGcntly just
what KodoI is for and Just what it
will do unless we use the newspaper
as a medium for that purpose. We
would like to direct the attention of
every reader of all newspapers so
closely to this product that they may
not possibly fail to appreciate how
meritorious kodol really it,"
in our laboratories there are tests
made daily with kodol; tests that
show absolutely that kodol of itself
will actually digest any kind of food
and all kinds of food in any and al!
combinations. The best test Is ne
hardest test, and we always use classes
of food that are commonly known to
be the hardest for the stomach to take
care Of For instance--cheese roast
pork. bacon. etc. properly prepared as
though masticated when placed in a
test tube with sufficient amount of
kodol added becomes digested com
petely within the proper time, and
under the natural conditions of heat
and movement as is experienced in The
stomach"
1T would take years for us to toll
all about kodol in any ether way than
through the newspapers. and that is
why we have adopted them as our adj
vertisng media. We really cant tell
all about kodol in the newspapers
The only way that we can satisfactor-
lily prove the merits OF Kodol is to
have it tried. That is why we men
ton our guarantee in all of our news
paper advertisements"
we confidently assert that kOdol
will cure indigestion or dyspepsia. or
any form of stomach trouble
Yes. we are ready to back up oar
statements in this regard, and we do
1t without hesitation
we want everybody to know about
Kodol, even if they have no occasion
to use it,
You know everybody has more "
less stomach trouble. ana we would
like everyone to think of kodol when
ever they have to think of Indigestion
or dyspepsia. because kodol is then
what they need
