GOVERNMENTS FIVE BUREAUS.

The federal government has five sep
arate detective bureaus These are the Sc
cret Service. the special agents OF the
Treasury Department. agents OF the In
ternal Revenue service, inspectors OF the
Postoffice Department and the Department
of Justice bureau of Investigation The Se-
cret Service, under the Treasury Depart
ment and the present direction OF Chief
Wilkie. was established soon after the civil
War. and used 10 do all the government
detective work Now its function is con-
fined To counterfeiting cases, guarding tho
President, and diplomatic Or state Depart
ment investigation The Department OF
Justice bureau, directed by Stanley W.
Finch has been in existence only few
wears. but IL has now the largest stan 0t
any government detective bureau. II was
stated the other day that this bureau had
five hundred operatives working on the fed
eraI aspects of the Mcnamara case. The
number was perhaps a slight eNaggeration.
Operatives in the Secret Service must
write a complete report OF their doings
every twenty-four hours and must state
the hour at which they write the report.

regulations IN regard TO expenses. An
operative is allowed 81 a day expenses

himself An exact and sparing provision is
made for tips when travelling. For each

The shadow is the follower, the human
bloodhound who dogs the steps Of the

own sphere. and does not aspire TO the
higher branch OF the profession. II would
frighten him to face his quarry. He is
used to studying backs at greater or
lesser distance. He has no ideas beyond
keeping on the trail. He knows just the
tricks Of his own trade. Physically he IS
as a rule small in stature He looks. acts

In art and fiction the shadow is a skulk-

IL is replied on the other hand. that
detective is like an actor; he plays a part
and deceives in the line of duty without
being necessarily corrupted In his private
character lie is no more tainted by his
work than is an actor who takes the role
Of "A villain. II Is a fact that detectives
who arc bold and aggressive in their work
exhibit traits of mildneSs and tlnidlty IN
their personal characters.
Captain W. j. Flynn, who has been head
of the New York division Of the Secret
Service for many years, excepting a short
interval in which he served as Deputy Po-
lice Commissioner in this city. said:
II do not believe many detectives are
dishonest. They are subjected 10 consider

profession-speaking of private detectives
is due to the fact that incompetent young
fellows are allowed TO start mp agencies.

is to have experienced principals and to

Undoubtedly government detectives tend
to be more reliable and trustworthy than

4 Delicate Operation.

DIR. C. ]. Smith on Monday per-
formed one of the most delicate oper-
ations known to medical science and
perhaps the only one Of its kind ever
performed in the county. 1t was the
placing of a silver plate in the fore
head Of Arthur Bell, the young Cab
bage Hill man, who was injured in a
train accident in this city last Mo-
vember. At that time piece of the
skull, 1-2 by 1 IA inches in dimen-
sons, was removed and a small part
of the brain removed. The wound
healed over, but the brain had no pro-
lection and could be seen pulsating
at that spot. The slightest blow
there would have been sufficient to
induce death. The plate was made
by DR.. Thomas. Vaughan, the dentist.
The operation was successfully per-
formed and the patient is recovering
rapidly. Altogether, the doctors agree
that Bell is a very fortunate man and
they attribute his recovery from the
original fracture to the quickness
| with which he was operated on, only
thirteen minutes having elapsed be-
| tween the time of the accident and
his arrival at the hospital.

w. l.. HUBBARD.
Famous Music Editor and Critic to be
in Pendleton Friday.

w. L. Hubbard needs little or no
introduction, for his name is known
in nearly every music-loving COM
munity throughout the length and
breadth of the land. For many years
he was the music editor and critic
of the Chicago Tribune, and during
these years came to be recognized as
one of the ablest authorities, one Of
the broadest-minded estimators Of
musical worth, and one of the most
convincing and attractive writers am
ong the really eminent critics of AM
erica and Europe. He became a mu-
steal power in the land, and what
ever Hubbard said" was regarded as
| authority and final. His long pre-
paratory studies of music in Europe,
his annual visits to the music centers
of the old world, and his contracting
of all the notable artists who visited
the United States during his activity
as critic, have given him a breadth
of view, a fund of information, and a
catholicity of taste which lend to his
every utterance positive worth, and
that bigness of estimate and opinion
that convinces. His work as editor
in-chief of the recent monumental
publication, THE American Encyclo'
is the most important contribution
to music's literature since Grave.
Dictionary appeared, but further evi
dences the wide range and thorough
pess of his information.

SEWER SYSTEM
TO Be EXTENDED
COUNCIL TAKES ACTION
IN SPECIAL MEETING
Outlet Will be Extended One Mile
Southwest of Present Outlet and
Service VIII be Extended to West
End Residents.

AS announced briefly in these col
umes yesterday, the city council met
in a session extraordinary at $3.50 in
the afternoon and adopted resolutions
to extend the outlet of the Pendleton
sewer system one mile southwesterly
OF the present outlet, thus removing
one of the obstacles in the way of To-
eating the branch asylum down the
river. Opponents of the site selected
have been making argument out OF
the fact that the sewer outlet of the
city is above the Oliver tract and
would thus contaminate the water
supply of the asylum should it be To-
Gated there. The action of the coun-
Gil will effectually silence this ar
gument.
Following is a copy of the resolu-
tions as adopted and which were tel
egraphed Immediately to the legisla-
ture;
Whereas, the present outlet of the
sewer system of the city of Pendleton
is insufficient to afford sewer con-
nections to a large amount of property
within the city of Pendleton; and
Whereas, the present location OF
the outlet of the sewer system of the
city is unsatisfactory to property
holders in the vicinity thereof, and
Whereas proper sewer drainage and
a satisfactory outlet can only be Sc
cured by extending the present sewer
system a distance of one mile south
westerly from the present outlet,
therefore, be it

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms coating over the muscles,
and by depositing cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently terni-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
"doctor " the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from a painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets a frmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. 1t
