A-o.1oo-ooOoO1.oSw was made so that
the city of Edgerton might benefit
more directly from the funds raised by
the sale of the little Christmas seals.
Heretofore all the money received from
the sale of these seals went to the
state organization to be used through
out the state as that body thought best.
By having a branch of the association
in town the state body has found
best results by allowing the local asso-
citation to supervise the use OF the
money for that place. This year they
are allowing the local bodies one-halt
of the proceeds of the gross sale for
the home work.
The school board has considered the
matter of having visiting nurse here.
The seal sale offers a means Of raising
the necessary funds for that purpose.
Dr. Brown when here recently stated
the fact that of the deaths here record
ed in the past four years 10 per cent OF
them were caused from tuberculosis.
This percentage is higher than in the
city Of Milwaukee. From careful
survey of the scholars it is estimated
that one out of every four of the chill
dren have some trouble that may later
lead to serious difficulties.
In view of this generous division OF
the total fund raised in the campaign
which is now on, there seems every in
centive for every citizen to assist IN
making the sale a record breaking one
for this section. Stoughton is working
under like situation, they expecting
to get sufficient funds to have nurse
with them two weeks each month.
The school children are busy making
a canvass of the city in the seal sale
campaign, they may be source of an
noyance but treat them kindly, for
their efforts are being put forth in a
most worthy cause-a cause that needs
only to be thoroughly known to receive
the hearty support of every individual
The Culture Club has offered prize
of $500 to the scholar in the high school
or eighth grade who sells: the greatest
number of seals during the campaign.
A like prize will also go to the scholar
in the fourth to the seventh grades
who sells the highest number of seals.
Merchants and business men, doctors
and other professional men are asked
to use the little seals on all letters.
Don't let your Christmas presents go
forth without this little reminder of
your thoughtfulness thereon. Seals
can be used on anything and every
thing. Use them and get your friends
to do the same.

That was what Mrs. Timothy Rior-
dansaid as she sat in the kitchen of
her little home on the top floor of
the tenement house at 42S East Eigh-
tieth street and told of her loss of
$2050, the savings of eighteen years
of married life, just as she was on
her way to pay the money over for
the purchase of a new home. She
didn't cry and she wasn't the least bit
excited. She had decided to accept
her loss with stoiCa, philosophy.
Sitting around her were three of
the five children whom She and her
husband had been planning for years
to take away from the tenement on
the upper east side to little home
in Brooklyn which they could call
their own.

ment on the house and get the deed y

A Four Hundred Dollar Upton Piano
Absolutely Given Away!

That advertising is now a science
| is again demonstrated practically to
the buying public of this section by
the wonderful advertising system now
employed by the most enterprising
business house of the Pendleton Drug
Co., who are going to give away ABB
SOLUTELY FREE on Feb. 90, 1912,
the beautiful UPTON PARLOR
| GRAND PIANO which is now on eX-
hibition at their store. The Upton
sells for FOUR HUNDRED DOL
LARS and is a HIGH CLASS instru

YEARS JUST THINK OF IT! \
Four Hundred Dollar Piano to be
GIVEN AWAY! A few years ago if
merchant was to do such a thing
he would be considered a fit subject
for an asylum, but conditions have
changed, yet in the face of the enor-
NOUS sum spent in advertising the
fact Of the Pendleton Drug Co. Civ
ing away 100000 piano is a stu
pendous undertaking and it clearly
demonstrates their desire to be "always
up to and a little ahead" of the spirit
of the times.
Every purchaser of $1.0O worth of
goods will receive a coupon good for
100 votes on the piano. The person
presenting the largest number of votes
to them on Feb. 30, 1912, will receive
the piano absolutely free. No favors
will be shown and every person will
receive an equal chance. The repu
tation enjoyed by the Pendleton Drug
Co. for Square dealing" insures this
fact. We think the buying people
will appreciate this extremely liberal
offer on the part of the Pendleton
Drug Co. and we predict a lively
scramble for votes.

CATTLE MARKET
REMAINS STEADY
SHEEP SITUATION
HAS CHANGED LITTLE
Hog Market Shows Decided Shortage,
With No Receipts for Over Four
Days-Prices Are Not Tested at
Portland.
(From Tuesdays Journal }

Two carloads of cattle came for
ward from Montana to the local mar
ket today, and sold at $435 for the
best offerings of cows, while one lot
went at 1915. The shipment was
made by Talbot & Son from Manhat-
tan and was the firms experimental
market at North Portland
The reputation of North Portland as
a good cattle market has spread
broadcast, and it Is quite likely that
a number of new shippers will test
the trade here within a short time.
While the cattle market here is not
quite as favorable TO outside ship
pers as it was some weeks ago, II
Is likely that as soon as the present
surplus is worked off the ideas of Pa
cific northwest killers will be elevated.
Even at this time there is evidence
that cattle will sell much higher dur
ing the winter season. This will be
forced by the smaller offerings and
to the greater demand. Local pack
ers Will not be able to go into the
South Omaha territory next winter
and bring out entire trainloads of
stock unless their notions of values
receive a change.
Buying Up Surplus Stock.
Outside interests have been buying
up all the surplus offerings of cat

better prices than are based upon

WOMAN
DEVELOPS HYDROPHOBIA
Worries from Bite of Dog Five Years
and Brings on Disease.

and Brings on Disease.
New York.-After worrying for five
years over having been bitten by a
dog believed to be suffering from
rabies, Mrs Amanda Irwin, 80 years
old, Of SS3 Amsterdam avenue, Is in
the psychopathic ward of the j.
Hood Wright hospital, a victim of
do-hydrophobia, believed to have
been brought about by mental sugges-
ton.
All symptoms of the dreaded disease
are shown by the woman, but when
her arteries weretapped by the ply
sicians it was found that her cond.-
ton has been brought about entirely
through auto-hypnosis and that there
are no signs of her system having
been inoculated with the rabies virus.
Since then the woman has constant
ly talked of her experience five years
ago and she told her friends that she
was always in fear that the virus
was not entirely out of her system.
This fear seemed to grow until it
became almost a monomania with
her and she would, talk of nothing
else.
Just before daylight today other
tenants of the house heard Mrs. Ir-
win scream and soon afterward heard
her bark like a dog. Between the
barking a sound like that of snarl-
ing canine could be heard. One of
the tenants rushed to the door lead
ing to her room and opened it. The
gas in the womans bedroom was
lighted and, crouching in a corner,
the neighbor saw Mrs. Irwin on her
hands and knees AS soon as she saw
him she began barking again.

There were no hogs available for
the market again at North Portland
today. No offerings have been shown
head appeared but only a few of
these were for the open market, the
remainder being direct shipments
from Nebraska to TWO local packing
houses.
AS generally viewed by the trade
here, the swine market Is very firm
but as no sales have been made re-
Gently it would be idle to say what
the quotations are. Nevertheless for
mer quotations are continued until
new ones are made.
At Chicago today there was a
steady tone in the hog trade with tops
selling freely at S7.95 with receipts
of 1900 head compared with an
equal number a year ago.
At South Omaha the hog market
was not quite so firm, the tone being
steady to sc lower with tops at $3.50.
This means $3.50 to land here.

Wheat Market Is Bearish.
Chicago, Aug. 23.-While there was
a small measure of strength in foreign
wheat markets, both the opening and
closing of the Chicago pit showed a
lower range. The start was at a de-
cline of 1-Sc to 3-Sc with closing
3-4c to 1c lower than yesterday.
The advance abroad was made in
the face of the report of Broomhall
of a generally favorable foreign crop
summary.
Cash wheat was as weak today at
Minneapolis as it recently showed
strength. Prices were off nearly a
cent for the day.

could be secured have been purchas-
ed by Miller & Lux for California
shipment. and this, too, will have a
stiffening effect upon the local trade.
There are indications of a much
smaller run of cattle at North Port

large per cent of the stock that should
have been saved for that marketing
has been shipped to the local yards
during the past month or so. There

Sheep Market Is Unchanged.
AS compared with yesterdays S
heavy marketing OF sheep and lambs
at North Portland, today's offerings
in the mutton division were rather
small However, as viewed from the
standpoint of both buyer and seller,
the supplies available were still too
heavy.
Owing to the fact that so much
sheep have been forced upon the
North Portland trade recently pack
ers have as result been forced to
create a heavier demand for dressed
mutton. This has been accomplished
by lowering the price of sheep pro-
ducts and holding rather firm the val
ue of beef and hogs.
The Portland territory is today con-
suming fully twice as much mutton as
ever before, but the increase Is an ar
tificial one and may not hold after
the price goes to its normal basis
compared with other meats.
At Chicago today there was steady
tone in the mutton trade with no
change in prices.
