To Whom 1t May Concern:
For the past three years have been
affected with rheumatism, which af-
fected nearly all the joints of my
body, especially my arms, shoulders,
ankles and back I took all kinds of
medicines, but none of them did me
any permanent good. About four
weeks ago l began to treat with Fer
Don's Medical Experts and I am now
better than have been for three
years and believe their medicine and
treatment are the true method for
curing this distressing complaint. I
feel like a different man altogether.
You have my permission to use my

What Prominent
Eugene Patients
Have to Say About the Fer-Don Medi-
cal Experts who are now in our City
Offices at Hotel La Fontaine, 633 Main
Street, Pendleton, Oregon

81 thing" said Mr.. Lowe, that the
treatment received is the greatest in
the world, and that the remedies of
the Great Fer-Don and his European
Experts are the best ever prepared for
suffering mankind
Mr.. Lowe is reputable man in the
community and is ready to tell others
of the benefit derived from the treat
ment of the European Medical Ex-
perts.
There is nothing so painful, so
dreadful as cancer. Mrs. ]. L. McKit-
trick, of Coalinga, Cal, suffered for
years with cancer of the mouth and
nose, and tried many remedies, but
failed to find relief from the agony
she endured. She is young woman
and has many friends and acquaint-
ances in Coalinga, Cal. She heard of
the marvellous work of the European
Medical Experts and submitted her
case to them. other physicians pro-
nounced her ailment incurable, but
with few treatments at the hands of
the European doctors she is ready and
willing at all times to tell the suffer-
ing public about her case.
Daily the number of patients wait
ing for treatment by the European
doctors grows.
A number of people from surround
ing towns have come to Eugene and
Salem to consult the European doc
tors. They offer treatment for very
small amount.
A few minutes spent in the wait
ing room of the European doctors
will prove to the most skeptical the
true merits and healing powers of
| these wonderful doctors.
The Great Fer-Don says: What
makes this European expert so much
| in demand is that he has cured and
benefited so many. He has filed in
his office testimonials from hundreds
who have been treated and greatly
benefited by him, and who are glad
to let others know of the good done
by him."
About Calamity Howlers.
| You see, Continued the Great Fer
Don. "enmity always follows success
and there is always certain class OF
humanity ready to cry 'humbug,
fake and 'quack,' but such howlers
and defamers of honest character are
very seldom successful in any line
Of business, because they do not at
tend to their own. They are too busy
sticking their noses into the affairs

WHAT IS PARTY LoYALrY9

It Is predicted that the democratic
members Of the congressional COM
mittee that investigated Ballinger,
will, make an adverse report and that
the republican members. with one
exception. will make q report exon
Grating him. a. did the president.
This is a remarkable situation, IL
one can take himself out Of the con-
ventional viewpoint. w have long
been accustomed to expect any pub
lie Official accused 81 misconduct to-
be defended by members of his own
party. But is there any good reason
why this should be so?i Here we
have a most serious case. It involves
not only the standing OF a member
Of the cabinet. but Of many other
men. Further, it concerns one 81 the
vital issues Of the day. Why should
the members Of one party reach n
decision and those Of another party
another? Why should the party line
divide those who would convict from
those who would acquit? Republic
cans on a jury in a murder trial
would not be likely to reach one de-
cision and the democrats on 1t the
opposite conclusion?
In the Ballinger case, the members
of the investigating committee have
not been called upon to determine up
on any new policy of government. It
cannot concern any Of the platform
declarations Of either party. It vas
simply an investigation Of facts for
the purpose of making a conclusion
Of facts. Is there any reason why the
facts should mean one thing to .
democrat and another thing to a re-
publicang
We believe 1t is an altogether mis-
taken sense Of duty to the party that
leads the republicans in this instance
to whitewash the accused secretary.

THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL


THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL
That the Mitchell May musical
festival proved a success, both music
ally and financially, mean TO- than
the success of an ordinary venture.
In some cities, even a great deal
larger than Mitchell, such a project
would be out OF the question. We be-
lieve we are within the facts when
We say that in no other race in South
Dakota could the festiy ! have done
as we'll as 1t did here. This Indicates
one of the respects in which Mitchell
is the first city Of the state.
There r people, many OF them,
who would not care for a performance
such as those in the Mitchell music
festival. To them harmony mean
no more than. discord. They do not
know the peculiar ecstatic rapture
that can be given only by music. To
them a voice singing lullabys is
merely a voice singing lullabys.
It requires more than musical tall
ent on the stage to make a success
full musical event. The audience
must befcapable Of approaching what
Is offered. It is this capacity in Nit
ehell people for appreciation of must
cal art that makes the Mitchell. must
cal festival a success. Thus 1t be-
comes q symbol Of the culture of Nit
ehell people.
II is not meant to deny to- Prof.
Hobson. director Of the chorus, or
any Of the managers Of the festival,
the credit due them for the splendid
way in which they handled it. But
they will be the first to agree that II

LAWYERS IN GERMANY.
They Cannot Advertise, and Their Fees
Are Fixed BY Law.

The German law fixes the exact fees
which German attorney has to claim
for all kinds Of professional work. and
the rechtsanwalt can charge neither
more nor less.
These fees apply to all matters OF
the civil code and of criminal cases.
The amount. according to the Green
Bag. depends exclusively on the value
of the object Of contention.
1t Is an old though still unfulfilled
wish of German lawyers to have
new fixed list Of fees, not made after
the old and low standard of the year
1870, but made with consideration to
the changes-the numerous decided
changes-which have taken place since
that year.
The rechtsanwalt Is attorney and
counselor at law all in one Tin England
solicitor and barrister). The rechtsan-
walt can never be business man, as
Is the case in the United States.
The exercise of the law Is not to be
considered Il calling Of profession. but
Is to be looked on more as public
office. According to the lawyers code
of the LIST Of July, 1878, lawyer is
charged publicly with certain duties.
He is obliged to have his residence
In the town or district where he Is APP
pointed $50 called residence duty.
Further, he must conduct himself In
and out of Office in way BETTING his
professional and social standing-i. e..
duty due to his rank. Thus lawyer
Is forbidden to advertise In newspa-
pers. by canvassing. ETC.. or to buy
or take over practice already made
as being unworthy Of his calling.
His position I'm society is between
officials and scholars, and through Gus
tom and law he Is compelled to keep
the position to the last degree. This
compulsion to keep ones rank has
given rise TO the existence of COM
mittees called Embellishments. whose
duty it is to keep strict watch that
no lawyer dlshOnOrs his calling. These
committees have a strict code Of pun
ishment. ranging to complete expul-
sion from office. In this way the law
yers in Germany have good and hon
ored position. In fact. there is scarcely
a country in which the lawyer enjoys
more respect and confidence.

WHY BUY SHOES IN BOSTON.

Why should Southern merchants
purchase their stocks in Northern
cities when Lynchburg stands fifth
among the cities of the United
States as a shoe distributing point?
This raises the question, who does
the Southern merchant take South
ern money North to purchase his
fall stock when some Of the largest
manufacturers and wholesale houses
are located in the South?
A tremendous impetus could be
given to the leather industry of the
South if Southern merchants would
buy Southern made shoes and if
the Southern customers would de-
mand the Southern product.
We can hear you saying Yes,
Southern made shoes should be
bought and Southern manufacture
ers should be patronized, all things
being equal If this is the way
you feel about it, this question has
been settled. Craddock- Terry Com
pany are selling shoes in Washing
ton, Baltimore, New York, and ev-
en- in Boston, and if this Southern
manufacturer can find a ready sale
for their product in Northern cities,
all things must be equal. In fact,
the evidence is in favor of the
Southern shoe. = Virginia Indus

A RUNAWAY HORSE.

Between His Teeth.

Impossible For Him to Take the Bit
Between His Teeth.
The runaway horse in story books,
as in most Of the veracious and detail
cd accounts given in the daily press,
invariably takes the bit between his
teeth" as a preliminary measure. 1t
would be interesting TO know how he
does this. He obviously cannot get IT
between his molar teeth (grinders) I'M
less both his cheeks are slit up from
the corners of his mouth. and If the
cheek straps be the right length 1t Is
equally impossible for him to get 1t
down to the level Of his incisors nip
pers), and there are no teeth in be-
tween. Thus perishes another hoary
headed superstition.
What does happen IS that through
steady. unremitting tension on the
reins the bars of his mouth become
numbed and impervious to pain. This
enables him to set his jaw firmly. put
the whole weight Of his head on the
bit and successfully resist anything
short of one horsepower at the other
end of the reins. This is the reason
why when run away with one should
never try to recover control by steady
pulling. but should always use short
sharp pulls with intervals of complete
relaxation between them.
Although it is always advisable to
drive new horse. temporarily ut least.
with the bit to which he has been ac-
customed. provided that he goes salts
factorily in it. ii is never safe to as
sumo that it Is the best possible one
for him. This assumption. which Is
general, is responsible for much trnu-
BILE that might be obviated. 1t IS sur
prising TO note how complete ana rad
ical change of bit may he made. not
only with impunity. but with advan-
tage, if only the change be in the right
direction.-Outing Magazine.

FIRES THAT ARE ASLEEP.
A Great Range of Volcanoes In tie
Heart Of Africa.

IT is not very generally known that
right in the heart of Africa mt the
southern end of Lake Albert Edward
Is 81 great range of volcanoes. They
are eight in number, and. though II IS
true that. unlike RukenZOr. they. carry
no permanent snow. the highest peak
Is over 1900 feet in height. These
volcanoes are particularly interesting
on account of their comparative new
rcss. Running through the middle OF
Africa there is Il trench many hundred
miles long, in which lie the great lakes
Albert. Albert Edward, Kiyu and Tan
canyika.
Not very many thousands OF years
ago the volcanoes. generally called
Mfumbiro. burst up through the MD
die of this trench and made dam
across il. with the result that some or
the water which formerly flowed into
Lake Albert Edward and so into the
Nile was cut OFF and Il lake was form
ed behind the dam. As times went on
the waters IN the lake which Is now
called Kivu rose higher and higher
until. not being able to flow over the
barrier of the volcanoes. they formed
the Rusisi river. which runs the other
way into Tanganyika. about hundred
miles distant. OF the eight volcanoes
only two show signs Of activity at the
present time in the form of thin wisp'
of steam which may occasionally be
seen. but vast plain Of lava. with
wide black stream curling through its
midst. showed where a formidable
eruption had taken place only two or
three years before our visit. There
are hot springs scattered here and
there. and we felt slight shocks OF
earthquakes once or twice. so it is not
safe to say that the Mfumbiro volca-
noes are extinct.-Wide World Maya
