LITTLE JERSEY cow
HAS THREE CALVES

There is a little insignificant look
ing COW in klamath county that
should have a Roosevelt medal, as
she is certainly living up to the
Roosevelt policy of anti-race suicide,
so far as she is concerned.
The cow in question belongs to H.
F. Tolle, prominent farmer, who
lives about two miles from Merrill.
She is but three years of age, yet
she is the mother of four living and
healthy calves. One year ago, when
but two years old, this little Jersey
heifer gave birth to one calf, and a
few days ago she was discovered by
the owner out in the pasture with
three baby calves, all of which were
lively and doing well.-Klamath

IS THIS AN
EVIDENCE
OF INSANITY?
WM. TOWNSEND, BETTER KNOWN
AS "UNCLE BILLY" is TAKEN
INTO COURT TO BE EXAMINED
AS TO HIS SANITY.

when mans subscription for a
newspaper expires, and he, desiring
to stop it, goes to the Office where it
is published and pays in advance for
it for another year, is that sufficient
evidence to show that he is in need
of guardian to look after his prop
erty affairs" was he question which
was put up in an informal way to
Judge Bushey, when the hearing of
an application for the appointment
of a guardian for VIM. Townsend,
better known as "Uncle Billy" came
up this morning.
The application was made at the
instance and request of his children,
who seem firm in the conviction that
he is not fit to manage his property
affairs and they came into court with
their attorney Frank Turner, to in
troduce evidence in support of it this
morning Uncle Billy was also there
with an attorney, John Bayne, but
owing to the fact that the court had
other matters which took precedence
over the hearing it was postponed
but not until little evidence had
crept in informally.
Could Not Stop the Paper.
One of the sons offered the inter
esting bit of testimony, while the
court and lawyers were discussing
the postponement of the hearing.
Uncle Billy according to him, had
subscribed for paper, paid In ad-
vance for it year, and when the
subscription expired desired to stop
it, but did not know how. and paid
for it in advance for another year.
The son called upon his brothers and
sisters for corroboration, but one of
them said he was not certain about
1t. One Of the daughters said she
had heard about It, and another was
positive Of 1t, and 1t began to look
bad for Uncle Billy. It was a stun
ner all right, and it caused Judge
Bushey to contract his brow a nd
think. After while smile covered
his face, as he recalled a similar case
In that instance. according to the
story Of the Judge, the man had in
tended to stop paper, but in each in
stance, instead, had paid a years
subscription in advance. Becoming
finally dlsgusted and, fearing TO
trust himself again, he came to
Judge Bushey for assistance. The
Judge advised him that he could dc
nothing for him, and that his only
salvation was to secure the services
OF lawyer, which he did. and this
paper stopped. Now, while the
Judge did not say so. It would kind

IT LOOKS
LIKE A Gym"
FOR SALEM

Of the 100000 necessary to be sub
scribed for the purchase of land and
the erection thereon of a building for
an athletic association $4,000 have
already been secured and the promot-
ers of the enterprise are now firm in
the conviction that their efforts will
be successful and that the city will
be provided with an athletic institu-
tion.
There are three solicitors in the
field and one of them has secured
$500 and it is estimated that the
other two have a sum equal to this.
AS soon as the necessary money is
subscribed articles Of incorporation
will be filed and board of directors
elected, whose duty it will be to Sc
cure building site and make plans
for the erection of building.

A BAD COLD is
EASILY BROKEN

There is not one grain of quinine
in Pape's Cold Compound, which,
when taken every two hours, until
three consecutive doses are taken,
will surely end the grippe and break
up the most severe cold, either in the
head, chest, back, stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle neuralgia pains, headache,
dullness, head and nose stuffed up,
feverishness, sneezing sore throat,
running of the nose, catarrhal affec-
tions, soreness, stiffness and rheumat-
ic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit of three years research at a cost
of more than fifty thousand dollars,
and contains no Quinine, which we
have conclusively demonstrated is not
effective in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world which will
cure your cold or end grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after-effects as a
25-cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

He added that the United States army
was ready, however, for any situation
that could arise. Troops stationed
here are prepared for immediate de-
