WILL NOT END YET

PITTSBURG, Mar. 27.-The Lenten
season which ended today has been too
short a season of penitence for Pitts
burg and it will be continued with
promise of even more startling con-
fessions of graft this week.

an unusual feature of the Easter ser
vices was the reading of circular
letter issued by civic committee yes
terday urging the members of every
congregation to attend huge indig'
nation meeting to be held some day
this week. Sermons too We're designed
to arouse public condemnation Of such
practices as have been revealed.

town a few days ago they mad come
under the observation OF George
Sheets, chief of detectives. Sheets
took the precaution to find out where
they were rooming. The description
of the robbers obtained after the muir

ficient to connect them in the mind
of the detective with the men he had

A detail of police walked from the
police station to rOoming house half
a block away and burst into the room
noted in Sheets memorandum book.
They found two men, breathless from
fast walking, a warm revolver, money
corresponding to the sum taken from
Fasselrs store and loot from re-

The Ann Phillips Company.

iHc SHnu FFitftPS NoH0PdUys
Last night the last production of
"Divorcons," the most popular play,
perhaps, that has ever been staged by
a stock company here. was presented
for the last time. Despite the fact
that it had run since Thursday night,
with two matinees, there was good
crowd present, witnessing the pop
ularity of the bill.
Tonight begins the third production
that has been staged in the city by
this company, Tempest and Sun
shine" This is we'll known as a first
class play, and one which has been
worked up in excellent shape by the
stock company. 1t combines all the
elements necessary for appeal to the
popular mind, and will without doubt
be one of the attractions Of the en-
gagement here. Owing to the fact
that there is another attraction in the
house on Wednesday night, which is
regularly the last night of the first
half of the week, Tempest and Sun
shine will be given but twice, tonight
and tomorrow night.
That the Ann Phillips company is
making good in this city is evidence
by the large crowds that are attract
ed, and by the universal good char
acter given the shows by everyone
who sees them.

/ suffered also with dull heavy head
aches and the action of my bladder
was annoying and painful. 1 was
feeling very miserable when l read
of Foley Kidney Pills. After taking
them a few weeks found myself free
from all distress, the headaches no

my kidneys and bladder was once
more normal. This is due entirely

COMPLAINS of the Railroads.


Complaining that it had shipped
to it from the Marshall Wells Hard
ware company car load of nails on
May 5th, and also on May 18th, a
3O-ton car of stock salt from Wad-
ham G. Company of Portland, and
that nothing has been heard of them
since, the Wheeler County Trading
company has preferred charges
against the o. R. & N. Company,
with the Oregon Railroad Commits
sion, and asks it to take action with
relation to it.
According to the complaint the
goods were billed to Shaniko, and
from there were to be freighted to
Mitchell where the company's store
is located. The company says that
the delay has, not only occasioned it
much inconvience, but also that it
has lost much trade because of it.
Another Company Complains.
Complaint was also received by
the commission from ]. e. Stewart
G. Company of Prinville, which also
maintains q store at Shaniko. The
company says that the ordinary time
consumed in the transmission of
freight from Portland to Saniko is
five days, but that recently it has
required at least 12days. The road
against which the complaint is made
is the Columbia & Southern.
