ing. Accordingly, it is not claimed
that Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of
SeEna Is the only remedy of known
value, but one of many reasons why
1T is the best of personal and family
laxatiyes Is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which it acts without any
debilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all
Objectionable substances. To get its
beneficial effects always purchase the

murky darkness and hour of night,
all combining to inspire terror, and
there compelled to do various stunts
by their wierdly garbed captors, whose

The captives were finally released

CONVICT M'KINLEY
LEADS AN EASY LIFE

United States Marshal Reed has is
sued an order giving to Horace Gree
ley Mckinley. the notorious consplra-
tor in the"11-7" land frauds, the
privilege Of taking a steam bath at a
bathouse across the street from the
county Jail every day, Mckinley is
: allowed an hour and a quarter daily
for this purpose
Mckinley was examined by DR.. A..
c. Panton. at Marshal Reeds order
| several weeks ago. The physician re-
ported the prisoner anaemcally in
clined, which resulted in the order
that the prisoner be allowed to take
treatment. DR.. Panton explained last
night that what he meant by "ana-
emically" was that he found the pris-
oner quite pale on account of his Jail
confinement Further than this the
physician refused to discuss his re-
port, he made IL to the government
was paid for It, and could not make
it public.
In spite of the grand jury's inves-
tigation of the matter, Marshal Reeds
order, giving Mckinley the freedom
of the county jail, and the grounds
surrounding the court house, is still
in force. But although his privileges
extend farther than those of the or
dinary trusty, he is not obliged to
do the work required Of the others.
Neither is he compelled to take his
rations like an ordinary prisoner, as
he eats at the same table as the jailer
and Sheriff Stevens deputies. Ills

McEwen. Ore, Oct. 5.-Tying a CUR
to a post after which he spread a Quilt
on the ground and attached a string
to the trigger of the gun, a man by
the name Of Kennedy sat on the quilt
and deliberately pulled the string
sending a bullet through his own
breast last evening.
He came here from Baker City Sum
day where he had been confined in the
hospital with a cancer of the mouth.
In company with his brother Kennedy
had resided here for some time, the
two men working as woodsmen. His
brother was away from the cabinet
when the suicide occurred
This afternoon Coroner Ison held an
inquest over the remains the verdict

own hands.
Little is known of either brother as

ATTEMPTS TO POISON
PORTLAND WOMEN

Chemical examination of a small
package of tea sent through the mails
to Mrs, Lola G. Baldwin, superintend-
ent of the Department of Safety for
young women, has demonstrated that
it contains enough strychninc to kill
100 persons.
Stirred into vigorous action by this
evidence of what on it's face was
shown to be a plot to murder Mrs
Baldwin, the authorities have follow
ed clew after clew until they have not
only satisfied themselves as to the
identity Of the man believed to be re-
sponsible for the attempted crime
but have reached the conclusion that
on the same day and in the same
manner he endeavored to make way
with his divorced wife. The suspect
is said to be under constant survel-
lance and his arrest may take place
at any time.
All the information pointing to a
bold attempt at double murder is now
in the possession of Mayor Simon,
District Attorney Cameron, Chief of
Police Cox, Police Commissioner Sich-
e and City Health Officer Wheeler.
The mayor has taken a keen, person.
al interest in the detective work, and
it was by his instruction that the con-
tents of the package were subjected
to microscopic examination and a
chemical analysis. He has asserted
ed in the effort to bring to justice
the person who would by so coward
ly a method seek the lives of women
who had incurred his animosity.-

CHANGE IN TREASURY INVOLVES
IMMENSE AMOUNT Of LABOR

Washington.-There Is a whole lot
more involved in change in the Of
flee of the treasurer of the United
States than in the mere acceptance
of the resignation of the retiring Off
Ger and the appointment of his sue
cessor. When President Taft accept
ed the resignation of Charles H.
Treat, whose name appears in the
bottom right-hand corner of all Uni
ted States bills, and announced that
Lee McClung would succeed him on
November /, it was equivalent to Civ
ing notice to all the clerks that they
had three months extra hard work
ahead of them.
This comes from the fact that be-
fore a new treasurer of the United
States takes charge of the office he
has got to be satisfied that all the
money and trust funds held in the
treasury department are there down
to the very last fraction of a cent
Consequently, every dollar of the vast
boards in the treasury has got to be
counted.
Big Force Required.
When the last change was made in
this office it took all of the clerks,
twenty additional laborers especially
hired for the occasion; a committee
Of three appointed by the secretary,
with ten or fifteen especially desig-
mated aides assigned from other Of
fices of the department, just two
months and eighteen days to do this
counting and 70 compare the figures
thus obtained with those carried on
the books.
This is not so very surprising when
It is realized that the aggregate
amount of money and securities which
are held in the office of the treasur-
er reaches the stupendous total of ST.
O00,2S311751 2-3. That fraction
Of a part Of a cent which has been
carried along in the treasury books
for many years arises from the inter-
est Of a Louisiana state coupon bond
which carried per cent.
f3 Vaults Necessary.
All Of this great wealth is held in
thirteen vaults beneath the treasury |
department in this city. Vault No. |
is 50 feet long, 81 feet wide and IL |
feet high. It is packed to the doors
with bags each holding one thousand !
silver dollars and contains a total Of
105 900. 900 silver dollars. But even |
this enormous amount does not rep
resent all Of the silver cart wheels .
held by the treasury there being over
fifty million more stored away in two
other vaults. Gold certificates to the
value Of s146,963, ,250; United States
notes to the amount Of $66,634652;
silver certificates to the amount Of
$50. .2s9.0 900; gold coin to the value
of S9.469.O32; national bank notes in
process Of redemption, worth $20,-
645.2O3. and subsidiary silver minor
coin bring the total in twelve Of the
vaults UP to $455823,834. In the re-
naming vault. No. Z. there are bonds
the total value Of which reaches the
figure of $744,459.2S3 81
2-3. These are held by the treasurer
as SECURITY for national bank circu-
lation and for deposits Of govern
ment departments; miscellaneous
trust funds and the sinking fund Of
the District Of Columbia.
Every item Of these giant totals
has to be verified before a new treas
urer. who is a bonded officer, is will
Ing to assume responsibility for the
figures as TO the amount Of money on
hand which is turned over to him
by his predecessor.

1t would, of course, be an intermin-
able job to count singly the 156,574,-
45S silver dollars, so they are count
ed by weight. 1t is known to a frac-
! ton of an ounce how much each bag
! supposed to contain 1000 silver dol
lars, should weigh So bag after bag
! is placed on scales by the husky col
ored laborers under the supervision
of an officer of the treasury. If the
bag is light it is opened ana a count
of its contents is made. Among the
thousands of bags weighed it has
sometimes happened that shortages
to the extent of a dollar or two have
been found. On one occasion a MEM
Der of the colored force probably
had the nerve to abstract several dol
lars from several bags. Altogether
he was only drawing SO a day pay,
overcome by the knowledge that he
was handling such vast wealth when
he stole about $50. but he was caught
at the proceeding and not only had
to disgorge but served a term in pris-
on as well.
Handled Like Wheat.
The silver is handled just like so
many bags of wheat. Just as each
one is weighed from one vault it is
stacked up in a pile in another. The
bundles of notes before being put
into the vault have been most care

and if they are found unbroken the |

AS stated, it took very nearly three
months to make the count when the
present treasurer, Mr.. Treat, receiv-
ed the trust from his predecessor,
Ellis ~ Roberts. At that time, Sep

was even greater than that which

PEARY PAID BY NAVY.
Drew Salary Of Rank on Arctic
Trips Except One Time.

During the time he spent in the arctic
regions Commander Robert e. Peary has
been drawing his full pay as an oficer
of the navy. at salary Of $A.50O a year.
In response to numerous inquiries re-
ceived at the Navy Department on this
subject Assistant Secretary Winthrop has
made a statement, giving all the orders
that have been issued regarding Peary
since he became a civil engineer in the
navy in October, 1881.
The orders show that eight extended
leaves of absence have been given to
Commander Peary Ito go to the pole. "
One of the eight directs him to go with
out pay" On other previous trips Com
mander Peary drew the salary of his rank
in the navy.
The last order gives him leave Of alb
sence from April 0. 1907. for three years.
to go abroad. July 2. 1908. this was
modified by a revocation of the unex-
pired leave and an assignment to duty
under the coast and geodetic survey, max
ing observations In Grant Land and
Greenland.
The many inquiries that have been
pouring In to the Navy Department seem
to indicate that there has been a great
popular curiosity to learn whether Peary
was detailed to search for the pole. and
whether, during his trip. he was a sal
aired official Of the government.

scientists. who still recall that Com
mander Peary said he would prove Dr.
Cooks statements false as soon as he
made them over his own signature. Even
the stanchest champions OF Commander
Peary admitted that DR.. Cooks words
rang true Not wishing to be drawn
into the controversy, many Washington
scientists requested not to be quoted for
publication. All found the story intense
~ absorbing and read it with great
care.
Publication Of the following comments
was authorized
Frank VALLEY Perkins, assistant
superintendent of the coast and goedetic
survey: 1T is an interesting story and a
remarkable literary production. So far.
however, DIR. Cook has not yet given the
technical data of his expedition. A crit
icism Of his story up to the present is
not quite in my line. I will say, how
ever. that I think it is an interesting
narrative"
Prof. Willis l.. Moore, chief OF the
weather bureau and president OF the Ma
tional Geographic Society: Il think the
story Is a stirring account Of Dr. Cook S
trip to the pole. In fact. I think that
the stories of both DR.. Cook and Com
mander Peary are interesting. and as far
as I can see there is absolutely nothing
in the relations Of either that would in
dictate that they have not both been to
the POLE / have no further comment
to make on either story. and would not
care 10 say anything until each man
has submitted his records to scientific
criticism.
Capt. A. G. WHITEWATER, chief hydroy-
rapher of the Navy Department and a
member of the United States geographic
board: Il have gone carefully over the
logs of all arctic explorations of recent
years. and expect DR. Cook and Com
mander Peary to provide valuable ma
terial for the new polar chart which /
am compiling for the government. / read
the frst installment of DR.. Cooks story,
and found 1t a thrilling and fascinating
account OF the first part of his trip. OF
course, 1t Is impossible to- predict from
