There never was better organic

Lucrative body OF men than the demo-
cratic mmbers Of the house Of repre-
sentatives. It is actually astonishing
with what unanimity they line up to
the support Of every proposition plac-
ed before them by their leaders. This
is due to the impartiality, fairness
and firmness Of Speaker Champ Clark
and the level headedness and hard
work Of leader Underwood. The ann
cunt Of work done by this body attests
the truth of the above statements. The
loudmouthed claim Of the republicans
that the old war horses, Payne, Can
non, DalzelI and others, by their SUI
perior knowledge Of parliamentary
usage would "balI-up" and embarrass
the democrats, has not materialized.
The above named gentlemen soon
learned that there were democrats on

and as courageous as any Of them.

JACK WRIGHT MAY
SURVIVE INJURIES

who yesterday fell beneath the wheels
of a passenger coach on No. II, is to-
day resting easily at st. Anthony's
hospital and the attending physicians
express hope that he will ultimately
recover although his age is against his
chances. Both feet were severed, one
at the ankle and the other about four
inches above the ankle.
His daughter, Mrs. Herbert Barn
hart of Starbuck, was notified last
night and the railroad company placed
a special train at her disposal to reach
her fathers bedside, the run of 9S
miles from Starbuck to Pendleton be-
ing made in two hours and fifteen
minutes, probably the fastest time
ever made between the two points.

he was to make proof on a timber

that Judge h. S. Bean ruled Monday
that the case would have to be tried

not the slightest intmation as to

The suit was originally instituted
in the local circuit court but the gov

TUBERCULAR TALK
HEARD BY MANY

With the public room at the city
hall crowded, DR.. Dorsey of Idaho,
last night lectured on Tuberculosis,
the great white plague and not once
did he lose the interest of his audience
as he told them of the measures
which should be taken to safeguard
the home from this disease. His lee
ture was illustrated with charts, show
ing the germs of consumption at their
deadly work.
DIR. Dorsey laid much stress of the
prophylactiCs of the disease inasmuch
as it is much easier to prevent tuber-
culosis than it is to cure it, Fresh
air, pure food are the best means of
keeping up a store of vital energy, he
said, and an abundance of vitality is
the best foe to the germ of tubercu-
lcsis.
Yesterday afternoon almost every
school child in the city was taken to
hear DR.. Dorsey's message, the teach
ers bringing the pupils to the city hall
in relays throughout the afternoon.
