In letter addressed to the Herald,
after Purdin, of Naches, explains
that there was no conflict between
himself and the health officers. But
that after DR.. Scott had quarantined
ms house, man by the name of
Sedges with whom ne is unfriendly
came along and tackled up another
sign. This latter ne tore down be-
lieving that one quarantine sign was
enough and believing that the last
one was put up without authority.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should lie a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour-
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaires' Of
fer of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great i-milionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspep-
sia to run from bad to worse until in
the end 1t became incurable
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspep-
sla for a few years will give every
thing he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices There Is
one element missing. The absence Of
this destroys the function Of the gas
trio fluids. They lose their power to
digest food.
We are now able to supply the miss
ing element-to restore to the gastric
juices their digestive power, and to
make the stomach strong and well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets will positively and perman-
entity cure disordered stomachs, indi-
gestion and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will
return your money IL you are not more
than satisfied with the result.
Price, 25 cents. Only at our store.

WORKS NEW GRAF 7
MAN RUNS MANY BILLS
ON BAKER CITY PEOPLE
PUts Up ut Best Hotel and This Fact
Enabled Him to Secure All the
Credit lie Desired-ElOurished u
Room Key When His Ability 10
Pay Is Questioned.

While development is going on In
many lines, the graft element is also
! improving its methods of procedure
| Here is a new and original stunt
sprung on Baker City people, says the
Herald.
a man giving his name as w. f.
| Clark approached Clark Armstrong
at the Geiser Grand hotel night be-
| fore last with a receipt for an ex-
press money order and wanted a room
, offering to put up the receipt as Sc
curity. He said he was from the Ok
bow tunnel and that the next day
there would be an express money or
der come to him from Huntington in
care of the hotel. But Armstrong
smelled a white "possum" and told
the young man, no.
Clark left the hotel and did not
show up until the next day, when he
called to see If any mail was there
for him. There was the letter con-
tanning the express money order all
right and when he showed 1t to the
clerk, Armstrong; eyes bulged out in
surprise, but he still felt that he had
treated the transaction in a proper
manner. That his conclusions were
correct soon proved themselves, for
Clarke deposited the price of room
for the day and night in cold cash,
went to a clothing store and purchas-
ed an oyercoat, and then proceeded
to get a little jag on.
When he paid for his room he took
the key as though he intended to go
to his room at once, but he did not.
Instead he went out on the street and
soon was mellow with JOY fluid. His
money surplus soon was exhausted
and he began using his credit. In or
der to instill confidence Clark would
flourish the key to his room, say
ing: Just charge that to me and
send the bill to the Geiser Grand ho-
tel in the morning. That's where am
stopping-see the key to my room"
And then he would proudly display the
key. The scheme worked fine from
Clark's viewpoint for the next day a
number of Baker people found they
had bills against man who was not
at the hotel, having left there very
early in the morning.
OF all the schemes to get a little
someting for nothing this seems to
be a new one.

John E. Lathrop. formerly of Pen
dleton but now a Washington CORES
pondent, in writing to the Portland
Journal says:
President Roosevelt today said,
after reading telegram saying that
a Portland paper had asserted that
Ormsby McHarg was there repre-
senting the national administration
and the national Republican organi-
cation in an effort to induce the Ore
gon legislature to elect Republican
senator from oregon.
"You may quote me as saying that
Ormsby McHarg is not federal Off
cial. l was not aware he was in Port
land; Furthermore, neither he nor any
other man there or here is or will be
authorized to represent me for any
such purpose as indicated in your
communication from Portland"
The president spoke with his usual
firmness and with no hesitation,
qualifying his statement in no wise.
Senator Bourne's message from
Augusta, when taken in connection
with President Roosevelts statement
to me herein quoted. is accepted here
as ending for all time all doubt as to
the attitude of the chief executive, he
the present leoder, and the president
elect, as the coming leader, Of the
Republican national organization, re-
garding the Oregon senatorial cleo
tion.
Bourne's message comes from him
as a visitor at Judge Taft's temporary
home. at the latters invitation, and
sufficiently indicates Taft's view Of
the matter.
The policy Of Chairman Hitchcock
in refusing to repudate report that
he cOuntenances an effort to over
throw Statement No. l. has operated
to induce the belief that he has given
his consent by his silence.
However, the attempt to transfer
the fight to Washington to secure ef-
fecrve nti-Chamberlain aid has
failed utterly.

MORE ABOUT THAT BRIDGE.
Pendieton People After Authorities
of Anderson, Piclxens and Oconee.

Pendleton, March %. - Editor
Keowee Courier: In reply to my
friend, John r. Zachary, In his piece
published In Keowee Courier, will
say for his enlightenment that am
only writing for the citizens of the
Oconee side, and as he seems to
make light of their requests to be
recognized as part of Oconee, will
state that the people on this side Of
seneca river are in earnest about
this road, and as for the worst hill
on the road being in Anderson coun-
ty will state for his information that
1t is In good shape, and, If not grad
ed, 1t will be IL Oconee gives an out
let
Now, friend John, don't deny that
these people on this side Of the river
have been shamefully neglected as to
roads for the last ten or twelve years
Other parts of Oconee have nice
graded roads. Why not this side of
Seneca river? OF course Pendleton
wants good roads, and is not only
after Anderson, but Oconee and
Pickens counties Now, friend John,
don't call the kettle black until you
scrub up your side. And If your last
paragraph is the wish of Oconee, An
derson county will gladly make the
Seneca river the line, and If this
road is not made the people on this
side will petition for an election to
be held, voting for the Legislature
to make Seneca river the line. An
derson county has no deficiency, but
can come across and make decent
roads in this territory Anderson
county has a nice gaE-nd road from
Townville across the river. and would
have paid for half OF tho Maxwell
bridge If it had been pat on the line
of the two counties
Now, friend John, is there a
worse road in OConec than the one
from Townville to MaXw CHS bridge
especially that part on Conneross ?
And from the road leading to Seneca
1t looks like plantation road to the
bridge. l am sorry if Oconee can't
make decent road to and from the
fine bridge they have built over SEN
eca river at the Maxwell place.
Now, in reply to charges of $25 by
an Anderson county man for change
In road. The fact of the case is.
about two acres of land is cut off so
that 1t is worthless to Mr.. Smythe,
and as this land adjoins Anderson
county Of course it is more valuable,
If you are in the road business come
over and see your Oconee friends on
this side of the river. M. n. Sitton.

Jim Peek Shoots a Few.
(Atlanta Journal, 22dD


James Peek, proprietor of a near
beer saloon at 23S Houston street,
lit all of the lights in the saloon
Sunday evening about 10 O'Clock
sat down in the center of the place
and for half an hour ;fod the
neighborhood by shooting his pistol
and shouting for the police.
Police headquarters were notified
and Call Officers Barfeld and Fain
responded. Peek was so wild, how
ever that he could not be convinced
that it was really the police who
were seeking admittance at his back
door. Watching through a window
Call Officer Barfield saw Peek un-
breech his pistol, evidently FOR the
purpose of reloading it. Taking ad-
vantage Of this opportunity both Off
GERS entered and pounced upon Peek.
Following terrific struggle they
succeeded in disarming him, but not
before the hammer of the pistol had
been pulled down upon the hand of
Officer Barfeld, making a painful
wound.
Peek quieted down after his ar
rest. He informed the officers that
negro was after him, seeking to
kill him. Charges of drunk and dis
