huge Japanese flowers in It Of yellow

BARACCAS
WIN FROM THE
HAWTHORNES

In one of the fastest and most in
teresting basketball games of the
season, the Baraccas, of the First
Presbyterian church, defeated the
Hawthornes, of Portland, at the local
Y. M. G. A. Saturday night. Mr..
Ward L. Fisher started the excite
ment by organizing a band at the be-
ginning of the game, which was liber-
ally supported by the musicians of
the city, and much gratitude was ex-
pressed by the club for Mr.. Fischer's
efforts, which were greatly appreci-
ated.
In the first half the Hawthornes
fell down and the score stood 16 to
IL in favor of the Baraccas.
The second half started with the
Hawthornes scoring two baskets in
succession, and, with a final spurt
tied the score. Both teams played
hard to gain the lead. and in the last
five minutes, with the Hawthornes in
the lead one point, the Baraccas, with
the help of the rooters, threw five

Easily Breaks
A Severe Cold

Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no quinine, which we have
conelusively demonstrated is not eff
fective in the treatment Of colds or
grippe.
1t is a positive fact that a dose of
Pape's Cold Compound, taken every
two hours until three consecutive
doses are taken, will end the Grippe
and break up the most severe cold,
either in the head, chest, back, stom-
ach, limbs or any part of the body.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle neuralgia pains, headache,
dullness, head and nose stuffed up,
feverishness, sneezing, sore throat,
running Of the nose, mucous catarrhal
discharges, soreness, stiffness and
rheumatic twinges.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine, made any
where else in the world, which will
cur your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly or bad after-effects, as a
25 cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

whistle blew for time the score stood
21 to 80 in favor of the Baraccas.
The lineup was as follows:

Hawthornes-Donaldson and Har-
rison forwards, Darling center, Hew-
lit and McKeene, guards.
Donaldson scored seven baskets for
the Hawthornes and Darling, at cen
ter, and McKeene, at guard, played
brilliant game.
For the local team, st. Pierre was
the shining star, throwing seven
baskets, and throwing all of them al
a disadvantage. Kirk, at guard
scored two baskets over his man, and
Mills, at center, played star game
Henderson and Joseph played good
ball, but didn't show their usua
form in locating baskets.
The Baraccas are to be congratu
lated on their seasons work, as they
have lost but two out of ten games
and winning the club championship
of Western Oregon.

MRS. CARRIE REEVES, AFTER
SUFFERING INTENSE AGONY
FROM EFFECTS OF CARBOLIC
ACD-DIED YESTERDAY EVEN
ING.

After suffering since Saturday af-
ternoon intense agony produced by
the drinking Of carbolic acid and
which was taken with suicidal intent
and also from a self-inflicted knife
wound in the side, Mrs. Carrie E..
Reeves died last night at o'clock
and the funeral services were held
over the remains this afternoon at 4
o'clock from the South Salem Meth
odlst church. The remains will be
shipped to Junction City, where in
terment will be made.
Mrs. Reeves was SO years Of age
and leaves to survive her son, and
brother at Moro, Oregon. The son
was to have gone to San Francisco
Saturday to live with the father who
separated from the mother some time
ago, and who has remarked. Worry
over the prospective departure of
the boy, who had lived with her ever
since the husband separated from
her, seems to have been the cause of
her taking her life. She drank the
carbollc acid and stabbed herself in
the side with pen knife, about 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon; and
while medical attention was immedi-
ately summoned, the physicians pro-
nounced both fatal and stated that il
would be only a matter of time until
she would die.

So far as the body is concerned, it
is obvious that the heart goes on beat
