WANT FARES
REDUCED BY The
P. R. |. & ?, co

Representing four commercial
clubs a committee has filed a COM
plant with the railroad commission
asking that the 1O-cent passenger
fare now charged by the Portland,
Railway, Light & Power company
from Oregon City to Jennings Lodge
be reduced.
The commercial clubs involved are
Canemah, Jennings Lodge, Oregon
City and Gladstone. The committee
declares that were the station at Jen-
nings Lodge to be moved south $50
feet, 1t would come within the five
cent zone. The extra charge, 1t is
declared is unfair, as 1t now makes
It necessary for the people, unless
they want to pay 10-cent fare, to
walk as far as Meldrum.
The railroad commission this after
noon departed for Mikklo, where ii
will head complaint instituted against
the American Express company The
complaint charges the company with
failure to provide a station at the
point, though there is ample traffic tc
demand 1t.

All You Need Is A
CaSCar.t Tonight
No Sick Headache, BILIOUS Stomach,
Coated Tongue or COnstipated
Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out--the head
ache, the biliousness, the indigestion,
the sick, sour stomach and foul
gases--turn them out tonight and
keep them out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take
a Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day Of dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and rug
ulate your stomach; remove the sour
undigested and fermenting food and
that misery-making gas; take the
excess bile from your liver and car
ry out of the system all the decom-
posed waste matter and poison in
the intestines and bowels. Then
you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning.
They work while you slee7. A 10
cent box from any drug store means
clear head and cheerfulness for
months. Children love to take
Cascarets because they taste good,
never grippe o" sicken.

A TWELVE
HOUR DAY
FOR GUARDS


There has been a change in affairs
at the penitentiary since James went
out. Heretofore. guards have worked
eight hours a day. Under the new
plan they will work 12 hours a day,
and there won't be so many of them.
The wages, though, will be increased
from $50, the present rate, to $50.
This will make slight saving, as Two
guards will do the work Of three, and
do It for $3.50, where the three got
$3.50. It will also save the board of
one man. The governor is certainly
carrying economy to about Its limit,
and, perhaps, just a trifle beyond It.
One thing is certain, he is not bidding
for the workingmen's vote or support,
in doing away with the eight-hour
system.

A SAMPLE OF
VERY DIRTY
POLITICS


Clackamas county politics has
struck snag in the way of an hon-
est man getting on the legislative
ticket.
A German American by the name
Of Gustav schnoerr, Of Willamette.
was made a Republican nominee at
the primaries.
He is not a two-faced double-dealer
and has some convictions and Is not
afraid to express them in public.
A fierce effort vas made to defeat
him for the nomination and now the
old tricky gang win try to down him
for election.
A snap indictment has been found
in Jim Campbell's court where 1t is
claimed the corrupt practices act was
violated.
Following special telegram tells
the story about the matter and this
paper will give the news as the mat
ter proceeds:
Charged with a violation Of se-
tion 3519 Of the statutes relating to
election, Gustav Schnoerr, Republl-
can nominee for representative, pres
ident Of the Deutsche Verein Of
Clackainas county, and vice-president
OF the Consolidated German Societies
Of Oregon, was arraigned today be-
fore Judge Campbell, given until
June to plead and released upon
his own recognlzance.
The specific charge is criminally
libeling @. Schuebel, of the law firm
of U'Ren & Schuebel. Schuebel and
Schnoerr both were candidates and
both were successful. Schuebel is
said to have accused Sehnoerr OF be-
ing corporation candidate. Schnoerr
retaliated by publishing an adver-
tisement in the Morning Enterprise,
Of Oregon City, in part as follows
"Mr. Schubel tries to make his
audience believe that the interests
Of certain parties have bought me.
Be not deceived. Not I, but he has
been bought, If signs fail not, and be-
cause he is used to being bought and
sold as everyone knows, he made an
effort to buy me in my own house,
This happened March 81, 1912"
The indictment of Scbnoerr, who is
one of the prominent men of the
county, has incensed hundreds Of
German-American residents. They
say the indictment is a political deal
and will react on the persons who
have fought him.
Although the indictment was re-
turned several days ago, Judge Camp
bell ordered 1t kept secret until
schnoerr, with HIS attorney, George
@. Brownell, appeared in court.
w. S. U'Ren, who aided In drafting
the corrupt practices act, appeared
before the grand jury as private pros
ecutor. He declares the Schnoerr ad-
yertisement was a gross violation Of
the act.
This Is the first prosecution Of
the kind here under the statute"

Queer Things About Animals.

There are many strange facts abou'
animals which no one has ever seem
ed able to understand.
A fly, for instance, will crawl tt
the top of a window pane, fly back
to the bottom and crawl up again
Hardly ever does it fly up and craW
down. Hens scratch for food always
with the sun behind them, so thai
it's rays will reflect on the tiny par
ticles. Yet a blind hen, for whom
this reason does not hold, alWay:
manages to get the sun behind hel
when she scratches.
Cats hardly ever lie with their feel
to the fire. In most cases they lle
instead with their left side turned
towards it. Dogs, however, lnvarl'
ably lie with their forepaws to the
fire. A mouse overlooks perfectly
safe food supply to enjoy the peril
Gus pleasures of an unlimited store
Why does a dog always turn rounc
two or three times before he lies
down? 1t is because his remote an
cestors had to scratch around in the
leaves or long grass for bed before
they could find convenient place or
which to lie.-AnsWers.

arm and side at range of 20 to 80
feet. The left arm was practically
shot away while many shot found

was arrested and lodged in jail at

of Kerner's injuries. 1t was report

Terrible Crimes Stirs Little Village
of Northern Italy.

Rome, Aug. PA terrible crime
has been committed at Fiesso, a viii
lage in northern Italy, Renata Ma
soni, the beautiful daughter of rich
gentleman, being found murdered in
her room by servant early in the
morning. Her father, with the rest
of the family, were away from the
village, and during the night the
murderers broke in a window, pen
etrated to girls room, found her
asleep, and attempted to assault her.
The resistance she offered frustrated
their purpose, but either in revenge
or for fear of her cries being heard
they suffocated Renata, covering her
body with a mattress after having
tied her hands and feet. The muir
derers then made search of the
furniture for money and valuables.
They also broke open the door of the
garage, took a motor car belonging
to Renata, and escaped. The first
alarm was raised by maid, who,
when she brought breakfast to her
young mistress, discovered the muir
der. The police believe that they are
on the right track of the murderers.
Meanwhile the maid has been arrest

Prominent Delaware Lu.nberman is
Shot and Beaten by Robbers.

Seaford, DEL, Aug. 22.-Shot and
beaten into insensibility Jno. J. Per-
ry, a wealthy lumber man and head
Of the Houston-Perry Manufacturing
company, was found in his automobile
along the roadside not far from his
mill near here to-day.
1t is believed that robbery was the
motive for the crime, although Mr..
Perry has not gained sufficient con-
sciousness to tell anything. The sup
position is that Perry was driving
along to the mill and was. attacked
from behind as the back of his head
is badly crushed and holes were
found in the back curtain of the au-
tomobile.
Doctors say Perry's skull is frac-
tured and a bullet wound was found
in the back of his head. State au-
tEorities, assisted by local police, are
securing this section of the country
for the assailants.
Mr.. Perry is about so years old and
has been engaged in the lumber busi-
ness for the last 80 years, operating
plants in Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina.

One of the most peculiar deaths
ever chronicled occurred recently in
Huron, w. Va. A prosperous farm
er, who owned and operated a farm
of 1T acres near that place, was
the victim and two fighting En-
glish sparrows were the unusual cause
of his death. The man was sitting,
asleep, in a large old-fashioned hick-
ory rocking chair on the front porch
of his house with his head tilted
back. Suddenly the sparroWs, which
had been fighting in midair, swoop-
ed violently across the porch and
either beak or talon of one caught
in the flesh of the sleeping mans
neck, tearing a large. Jagged wound
and cutting the jugular vein. BY
the time the unfortunate mans vile
came to the porch from the kitchen
her husband lay unconscious on the
floor. Efforts to check the flow of
blood were futile.
