HoGs-Tho hog run continues light at
this point, only eighty cars being reported
In the yards this morning. The total re-
ceipts for the week TO date foot up only
1900 head as against 1880 head for the
same DAYS last week and 1900 head for
the same period three weeks ago. While
receipts at this point we're light, some other
markets had a great plenty and were re-
ported lower.
Under the influence OF the unfavorable
advices received early from other markets
as well as from the fact that this market
made a wild advance yesterday while others
did not show SO much gain, buyers started
out bidding lower The first hogs sold
5di0c lower than the good time yesterday,
but the trade was slow and buyers bearish,
50 that Il was not long until the market
settled down to a 1Oc decline. A good many
Of the hogs sold ON that basis, but buyers
were indifferent and the market eased Off
until sellers were reporting some of their
bids at least 15c lower than yesterday
best time.
The close was very dull, hogs that came
In late being neglected, buyers not ap-
pearing to care for them unless they could
take off 15c Il will be noted that a con-
siderable proportion OF the hogs sold today
at S35d7.45, while the bulk yesterday was
S.4od75O. Quite a sprinkling OF the light
hogs sold up to $3.50

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of
medicine you must investigate the
cures and see if they prove perma-
nent. Doan's Kidney Hills stand
this test, and plenty Of proof exists
right here in this locality. People
who testified years ago to relief from
backache, kidney and urinary disor-
ders, now declare that relief was per.
manent and the cure perfect. Can
any Wenatchee sufferer longer doubt
the evidence?

benefit I received from the use Of
Doan's Kidney Pills in 1902 has prov
en- to me that this remedy is worthy
of recommendation. 1t can be relied
upon to relieve backache and other
symptoms Of kidney trouble. My
complaint was caused by severe cold
which settled on my kidneys, causing
q dull ache through my back. This
compelled me to lay of from work for
several days. At last 1t was my good
fortune to hear about Doan's Kidney
Pills / procured a box and in a
short time after I commenced their
use every symptom of my trouble was
removed and I felt better In every
way. Any person troubled with back

Commission a complaint against the
Southern Pacific Railway company
in which it asks the commission to
make an order giving to the city of
Medford commodity rates.
The bureau alleges in its com
plant that Medford is a growing city
in a growing country, and that 1t is
centrally located and therefore is a
distributing point for the country of
which it is the commercial capital.
1t is then alleged that the railroads
have long followed the practice of
giving commodity rates, but there
are none in existence between Port
land and Medford, and it asks for
the ESTABLISHING It of such rates.
The commission is also in receipt
of an answer from the Southern Pa
cific Railway company to a COM
plant filed against it by the Baker
City Commercial Club. The COM
mercial club in it's complaint asked
for less than carload rates from
Baker City to the town in the coun-
try where 1t distributes it's mer-
chandise and articles of commerce.

A second fire was reported today
near Crystal Lake, in the Spring

fighters are considering an appeal
to the federal authorities for aid If
their efforts to quench the flames
meet with continued failure.
Ten companies Of the 30th Infan-

the vicinity of San Mateo today and
the colonel may be directed to send

THINKS PIRATE
ELLIOTT GOT
SAFELY ASHORE
t.Hu1M uusvg1 ssnud da11NnI

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-Informa-
tion having come to U. S. Marshal
Charles T. Elliott that leads him to
believe that Edward Wood, alias
French" West, pirate, may not be
read, that officer today is sending
broadcast descriptions of the slayer
of Captain Wood of the steamer
Buckman. Since the vessel which
Wood and his captured partner,
George w. Wise, essayed to loot was
but seven miles off the Oregon
coast and directly in the path of
coasting vessels when the attempt
was made, it is believed quite pos
sible that Wood got safely to shore.
The descriptions sent out are TAX
en- from Woods enlistment records
of the U. S. training ship Pensacola,
on which the two would-be pirates
were enlisted. All persons having
any knowledge of the missing man
are urgently requested to communi-
cate with Elliott.

ARTHUR WELDON
IS WANTED BY
HIS MOTHER

What has become of Arthur
Weldon?
That is the question which his
mother, Mrs. Florence Weldon and
her three little children have been
asking themselves as she has waited
and searched in vain for him in
Portland, and with the view of as
sisting the mother to locate him the
police of that city has taken up the
search, and today Chief of Police
Gibson has bene asked to cooperate.
Mrs. Weldon and her three chill
dren came to Portland from the east
in response to a letter from her son.
At the time he was employed in
Portland as a buggy washer, and he
was to meet the mother and the chill
dren when they arrived. When they
stepped off the platform, however,
he failed to make his appearance,
and though she and the police have
since tried to locate him their ef-
forts have proven futile. The
mother and children are dependent
upon te son for their livlihood.
They are in destitute circumstances
and are being provided for by strang-
ers who took pity on them in their
Might,
Arthur Weldon is described as be-
ing % years of age, six feet and two
inches high, smooth faced, brown
curly hear, and cne glass eye, The
communication from the Portland
police says that he was employed in
one Of the stables here, but a search
by Chief of Police Gibson was un-
successful in securing any trace Of
him.

Durand, Mich, Aug. 26.-Three
separate Investigations are being
held here today into the Grand Trunk
Western wreck here in which twelve
persons in a Pullman sleeper of the
Chicago Montreal express met death
in a collision.
The railroad is conducting its own
investigation, while the county and
state each have committees at work
The railroad is gathering testimony
to refute the charges that 1t hired
incompetent men to man its trains
following the recent grand Trunk
strike. 1t is alleged that the crews
of both trains involved in the col
lision were strike breakers retained
after the strike was called off.
Chairman Glasgow of the state
railroad commission announced that
If it were found true that the rail-
road company employed incompetent
men the Grand Trunk would be
prosecuted.
A corners inquest into the deaths
of the wreck victims will be held
next week. In the meantime the
coroner's deputies are endeavoring to
collect evidence TO throw light on
the cause of the accident.
