EXAMINING
REFERENDUM
PETITIONS

Now that disclosure of forgeries
have been made with regard to the
signatures on the petitions referring
the Oregon University appropria-
tions, friends of the bill appropriate
ing $5O,000 for the Monmouth Nor
nal school, and also friends of the
Malarkey public utility bill are be-
ginning to take an interest in the
petitions filed in these cases, and it
may be that an investigation will al
so be prosecuted in both.
Already slight investigation has
been made as to the names on the
petitions referring the Monmouth
appropriation. Slight as it has been
It has been sufficient to disclose that
there are forged signatures on the
petition, but whether enough Of
them exist to invalidate it remains
to be seen. No investigation, so far
as can be learned, has been made
with to the Malarkey bill. When the
petition was filed in that case the L.
gality Of it was questioned, and it
will not be surprising should friends
of the measure attack it on that
ground, and also on the ground that
there are forgeries committed in the
signing of the petitions

NO MONEY FOR
APPREHENSION
OF CRIMINALS

AS there was only an appropria-
tion of $1,000 made by the last legis-
lature for reward purposes in the
cases of apprehension of criminals,
Governor West found himself unable
to offer reward for the apprehen-
sion of the fiend who murdered the
Hill family in Milwaukee, but has
advised the sheriff of the county that
in the event the guilty party is ar
rested and convicted he will recon-
mend to the legislature that a re-
ward of $4,000 be given for the Hill
murderer and $1,000 for the Griffith
murderer.
Several months ago the McCulloch
murder occurred in Baker county
and the $1,000 reward provided by
the legislature was offered in that
case. The governor is of the opin-
ion that both the Hill and Griffith
cases are of such an atrocious char
acter that when called to the atten-
ton of the legislature it will un-
doubtedly make provision for the re-
ward

ARE TAKING A
CENSUS OF THE
TOWELS BUGS

Topeka, Kan, June 12.-Experts
in the office of the state board of
health went out last week and cap
tured number of roller towels that
were being used in hotels in different
parts of the state. They are now
engaged in making a census of the
different kinds of germs upon them.
From the result of the count of
the bacterial population, DR.. S. J..
Crumbine, secretary of the board,
will make his recommendations to
the board as to what action shall be
taken. 1t is expected that he will
recommend an order to be followed
by a stringent law prohibiting the
use of roller towels in public places.
Why" said DR.. Crumbine, "some
of these towels are alive with germs,
some good and some bad. Many skin
diseases are spread in that way and
the roller towel is responsible for
nearly as many cases of tuberculosis
as the common drinking cup"

MAY ROBERTS
WILL Be HERE
NEXT WEEK
CHARMING ACTRESS WILL PRE-
SENT "THE REGENERATION OF
AUNT MARY" SUPPORTED BYA
STRONG COMPANY.

There is no reasonable argument
against success. Numerous conjec-
lures explanatory and otherwise are
advanced, but if one examines into
the successful undertakings theatri-
cally and commercially, we find that
it is merit and effort, and not acct
dental. For instance "The Rejuve-
nation of Aunt Mary" as presented by
May Robson is an illustration Here
we have a bright and particularly
funny comedy presented by an un-
usually clever actress, the personal
ity of an old maid-her first visit to
New York and her experience ably
illustrated by clever impersonation,
hence merit and success.
Miss Robson duplicated this sue
cess in London at Terrys theater.
An English audience is severely crit
ical over American plays, but in this
case the comedy is pure, bright and
very funny and Miss Robson as
Aunt Mary" won immediate recog-
milton; the freezing attitude of that
British audience melted and Miss
Robson was in the sunshine of popu-
larity. She carried them with her
with shouts of laughter, and the
staid, digniiied newspapers of Lon
don elated and even bubbled over
Miss Robson's and her play, express
ing their opinion that Miss Robson's
characterization had not been euualled
by an English player of recent years.
Then follows full revision of the
play, somewhat unusual proceeding
of the English critics over comedy
production.
The theater going public was in
terested and Miss Robson's engage
ment was extended from three to
eight weeks-merit was recognized
and sustained.
Miss Robson, with the original
company will appear at the Grand
Opera House on Wednesday, June 21,
the play in the same clev-
erness and without single change
from the London production.

DONALD YOUNG
IS BITTEN BY
STRANGE DOG

Donald Young, the 3-year old son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Clayton F.. Young.
was pounced upon yesterday after
noon by a large bird dog and severe
ly bitten. 1t was feared for awhile
that 1t might prove fatal, but inquir-
les at the Clayton home this morn
ing disclosed the fact that the boy
was resting easily, and that unless
complications should set in he will
recover.
The boy, at the time, was in the
alley at the rear of the Young home.
The father was at work in his shop,
and in the alley James Olmstead was
repairing his automobile. The dog.
which had been lingering about the
neighborhood for several days, came
along, and the boy put out his hand
to pet it. He says that the dog
snapped at the hand, and then leaped
at his throat. The cries of the boy
called the attention of Olmstead, and
the animal then had the boy down
with his teeth sank clear through
one cheek. Olmstead by the use of
wrench succeeded in driving the
dog away, and the child was carried
into the house and medical aid sum-
moned.
In addition to suffering from the
wound the boy is today suffering
from a case of the chicken pox.
A search is being made for the
dog, but so far it has not been cap
tured.

TESTED AND PROVEN.
There Is Heap of SOlaCe in Being
Able to Depend Upon Well
Earned Reputation.

For months Salem readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work they have
done in this locality. Not another
remedy ever produced such conyinc-
ing proof of merit.
c. w. Hill, 1877 S. Commercial
street, Salem Oregon, says. "Doan's
Kidney Pills are by no means a new
remedy to me, as | have used them
OIL and on for years. | have always
enjoyed fairly good health and about
the only thing that has made me
miserable has been kidney complaint
and backache. | finally got Doan's
Kidney Pills at DR.. Stones Drug
store and their use entirely cured
me. l am firm believer in the mer-
it of this remedy and am pleased to
recommend it whenever an oppor-
tunity occurs.
The above statement was given
January 81, 1906, and was confirmed
on Nov. %, 1909 by Mr.. Hill. He
said: Since Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me of kidney and bladder COM
plant, have had no return attack"
