Spinal Meningitis
Claims two Victims

Two deaths in the same family in
rapid succession, from spinal meningi-
tbs, has aroused the residents of the
west end of town to what seems an
unnecessary scare over the disease.
Cade George and Leland Charles, the
little sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Estes,
713 West Birch street, died Sunday
evening and this morning, one in %
hours, the other in 81, after contract
ing the disease.
Cade George Estes, aged two years,
was taken violently i'll on Saturday
night about 1880 o'clock and died at
80 Sunday evening. Leland Charles
Estes, aged four years, was taken with
the same disease about 8 o'clock yes
terday morning and died this morn
ing at g. Both had the most malig-
nant form of the meningitis.
while the cases are of the most
malignant type, and there Were hem
orhages under all parts of the skin,
am sure there is no danger of an cpl
demic of the disease. The house has
been thoroughly fumigated and every
bit OF clothing and furniture has been

PAROLE SYSTEM
IS A SUCCESS

The system of paroles adopted at the
last session Of the legislature, and the
plan adopted by Superintendent Reed
of the state penitentiary, of dressing
prisoners in plain clothing instead of
stripes has worked a wonderful change
for the better in the state penitentiary
Discipline has improved, the class of
work performed has become more sat
isfactory, the men are more hopeful
and are given to less disturbance and
cause for punishment
Under the law a man who has SER
we'd six months has a chance to secure
his freedom on parole if he conducts
himself properly. Unless he makes a
good record he is barred from parti-
cipating in the benefits of the parole
law. Nearly 200 have been given ad-
vantage of the law, and but four or
five have violated the conditions of

The Story ola Medicine.

Its name-"Golden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of it's most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by. the use of pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex
tract from our most valuable native me-
dcinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed Golden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
it ever since has baen, without particle
OF alcohol in it's malAe-up.
A glance NjAtSe fun list OF its ingredi-
ents, printed On every bottle-wrapper,
will show that it is made from the most
valuable medicinal roofs found growing

Buffalo, N. Y, and will be mailed free to
any one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ
ent schools of practice, it will be found
that the ingredients composing the "GOld-
en- Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
- tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or
hang-on- coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, if not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
in consumption. Take DR.. Pierce's Dis
covery in time and persevere in its use
until you give it fair trial and it is not
likely to disappoint. Too much must not
be expected of it. 1t will not perform
miracles. 1t will not cure consumption
In its advanced stages No medicine will.
1t aCiU cure the affections that lead up to
consumption, If taken in time.

Los Angeles Winner
From Whitman Five

Outclassed in height and weight,
Whitman college last night lost to Los
Angeles on the basketball floor, the
score standing % to 166. Whitman
was in no way inferior to the visitors
save in respect to size, and on this
point alone they lost the game. How
ever, the visitors played the game
just as we'll as did the locals in every
other respect and their team work
was perhaps a trifle better. But they
were no speedier and no more accu-
rate.
The game was a remarkable one in
point of clean play and absolute sat
isfaction of the referees decisions
Physical Director F. d. Apologize, of
the Y. NJ. c. A, refereed and although
he called three times as many fouls
on the locals as on the visitors, there
was no kick coming on his work But
both sides played clean, and the game
was good natured throughout.
Whitman's five played great ball and
had they not simply been overtopped
would have stood to win. But Dut-
ton, the big forward was head and
shoulders above Cushman, his guard.
He only got two goals at that. Stevens
the crack center, secured but one field
goal, but that is no indication of his
playing. He is the most polished and
fastest man who has played in this
city. Neill a Los Angeles guard, ran
up three times when no one was
watching and scored. Newland did the
trick once from the same position.
Wilson scored but one over Penthouse:
but on three throws secured eight out
of y.
Barnes played Stevens the game of
his life and followed him closely. al
though overtopped some three inches.
ALI Belt played a fast game and Sc
cured three goals. Barnes made two
field goals and two force throws from
four chances. Tracy Cox played fast
and hard in the first half but was able
to land no points. Warren Belt re-
placed him in the second half and
made two goals from the field. Cush-
man guarded well although he was
playing against a moose. Penthouse
kept the Los Angeles crack forward
from throwing more than one goal;
The game was spectacular and fast
throughout. Los Angeles has a good
bunch. They are built for basketball.
Tall, rangy and heavy, they easily get
the ball and keep it from men of the
size of the local five and their victory
was due IN no small measure to the
fact of their height. Their clear play
ing ard gentlemanly behavior made
them respected by the crowd from start
to finish and there was no calling from
the side lines to mar the game.
In a fast but one sided preliminary,
Pearsons academy wiped up Waits
burg high school by the score of A
to II. Every Pearsons man played
star game and secured all kinds of
difficult baskets. The game was play
ed as a preliminary and filler between
halves and served to keep the audience
busy all the time. Ralph Bollerman
referred the contest.

Association
Is Dissolved

The Walla Walla Manufacturers as
ISOLATION was last night laid on the
altar as a sacrifice to a narrow minded
policy.
The spirit of reaction which for
months has been as poison to the
Made in Walla Walla" movement,
last night won signal victory over
the long viri.e and progressive ele-
ments in the association. 1t has been
apparent that the policy of extreme
selfishness and eXclusiveness has been
slowly but surely squeezing the life
out of the association by restricting
its membership to those manufacture
ers whose plants are located within
the corporate limits of the city, with
the result that bitter feeling of anil
mostly has been engendered in all of
the surrounding towns. a feeling, as
stated by Mr.. Kane. the president, in
a perceptible falling off of business IN
many lines in this city
The progressive cement in the as
sOciation diagnosed the ailment and
endeavOred to broaden the scope of
the organization. BY a margin of one
bylaws was lost, and it was proposed
to allow those who had defeated the
proposition to take charge of the pa
tient and restore ii to health. A fee
bic effort was made in this direction
4 committee of three was appointed
from among the ranks of those who
had deafeated the amendment. and
after some destinations, this commit
tee was secured and instructed to get
N some more members.
The futility of such n course. in the
light of the associations refusal to
show a feeling Of even friendship for
outside towns. was however. apparent,
even TO those who fathered the plan
and Charles E. Nye, who had voted to
widen the score of the organization,
was the first to note the approaching
dissolution. His hint was eagerly
seized upon by those who voted
against the proposed amendment, and
after long and heated discussion. Il will
was duly executed leaving all to the
Commercial club. and the association,
at 1925 last night, passed over to
the Beyond.

PUTS 4 BAN ON BILLBOAROS
WEST OPPOSES ECLIPSE OF THE
UNION STATION.
Against Permitting Huge Adver-
tisements to Hide the Great
Railway Terminal.

With the object of preventing the sur
rounding OF the Union station and the
plaza with billboards. Commissioner
West moved before the District board OF
Commissioners this morning that all bill
posting companies be notified that the
District authorities will not grant per-
mits for the erection of billboards in the
vicinity of the Union station.
Commissioner West heard last evening
that there was a movement on foot to
hide the Union station by placing on va
cant lots around it huge advertisements
and promptly upon reaching his office this
morning he took decisive step against
such a movement
Having learned that proposition is
on foot to utilize the vacant ground in
the vicinity Of the new Union station for
the erection of large billboards," Com
missioner West said to his colleagues, II
move that the secretary of the board be di-
rected to notify the Washington Bill Post
ing Company, the American Sign Com
pany a9.d the p. II. Morton Company, and
all othE billboard proprfetors. that the
Commissioners will not grant any permit
for the erection and maintenance of bill
boards in the locality named.
1.-The law affecting this question states
mo person shall place. exhibit. main
tain or continue any advertisement OIL
poster except upon such land, houses
buildings. bilIboards, fences. or other
structures as the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia may in their discre-
ton authorize in writing for that pur-
pose
1T seems to be that this is a case
where discretion can very wisely be eXer-
cised in preventing the erection of un-
slightly billboards and thus prevent the
defacing of the approaches to the UnioI
! station"
