cation Of Los Angeles has directed a
communication to Chief Of Police She.
deck requesting that a watch which
was found on a dead man in the south
ern city be identified If possible by the
local jeweler, if any, who might have
repaired the time-plece.
The chief of the Los Angeles detec-
lives informs Chief Shedeck that a
woman claimed the body of the dead
man and declared she was the wife Of
the deceased, thus collecting $4,000 life
insurance, The officer then states her
real husband has been located.
Following is the letter:

whom woman by the name of Mimic

collected $4,000 insurance. Since then

trying to establish his identity.

Kellaher May BE "Teethlng,"

Dan Kellaher will ask the commit
tee on medicine, pharmacy and den
tistry to introduce resolution that
the senate be provided with a drug
dispensary. The senator from Multno-
nah was severely squatted on yester-
day afternoon, when he himself intro
duced a resolution that the supply of
Bull Run water at the state house be
not limited to President Malarkeys
private apartments.
Dan says that his fever comes up
every afternoon about 1882 o'clock
and he attributes it to lack of fresh
water He asked the senators to give
him the benefit Of q doubt, and vote
for the resolution. But the senators
knew better. Dan has been in a fe-
brile state and a worn, hectic eye ever
since Malarkey was elected president
Monday.

Monmouth Happenings.

The children of the fourth and fifth
grades Of the grammar school here
gave a play entitled Joseph" on Tues
day evening.
Helen Cornelius had the leading part
of Joseph" while Johnny Ostrom
played as Joseph's brother"
All pronounced the play excellent
for children of their ages (none Of
them being over 10 years of age). The
play will be repeated again on Janu-
airy II in the high school assembly
room.
Much credit is given Miss Grace
Davis, who coached them in the play
Prof j. w. Livingston, of the Mon
mouth high school, is q strong advo-
cate of school gardens, and the home
credit system.
He claims that boy or girl going to
high school should learn how to do
the different things they will have to
do in everyday life; he also claims
that the average high school student
isn't fitted, when leaving high school,
for the problems that they will run up
against in life about them. Therefore,
he say that it is just as important for a
boy to learn to till the SOIL, learn to
manipulate tools, milk cows and do all
the things that will confront him when
he starts out in life for himself.
He also claims that students will
take more interest in home work when
they are given credit for 1t. This has
been proved true in the Fairview
school district of this county.

GAVE HIM
FINE CARVING SET

A dozen printer friends of Fred
Caruthers, q printer, who has gone
back to the soil" surprised him at a
banquet provided by Mrs Caruthers
at the White House restaurant last
night. The banquet took place between
the hours of 10 and II o'clock, that
being the lunch hour for the night
printers, and the only portion of the
evening when they could get away
from work.
The banquet was served in six
courses, and was substantial in all re-
spects. The printers, and the one or
two reporters who were allowed to he
present, were spared the ebmarrass-
ment of being asked to make speeches,
so the affair was enjoyable as well as
substantial. After the banquet Mr..
Caruthers was presented with a silver
carving set from the printers present.

DON'T BLAME YOUR
0VERW0RKED STOMACH

When your stomach will not digest
food, the r'orst thing you can do is
to take q lot of digestive medicines,
True, they give temporary relief, but
your stomach Is the sufferer. Loss
Of appetite indigestion, dyspepsia
and headaches can only be perma-
nently relieved by removing the
cause. In many cases, various reme-
dies taken to relieve these conditions
result in running the stomach and
preventing It from digesting food in
natural way.
If you want your stomach to do
its own work properly, without re-
sorting to artificial dlgestives or pre-
digested foods, use Jayne's Tonic YER
mifuge. Take small doses regularly,
preferably before meals. In a little
time your stomach will again do its
own work and you will eat heartily,
keep well and enjoy living. Jayne's
Tonic Vermifuge is not a dlgester in
itself, but 1t tones up the stomach
and intestines, giving you all the nu-
triment and strength from the food
you eat.
Many forms of supposed indiges-
tion are the result of intestinal para
sites for which Jayne's Tonic Ver-
mifuge is unsurpassed. Insist on
Jayne's; accept no other. Millions
have praised 1t for more than so

would have the naming of the commits
sion to have charge Of the exhibit and
the spending Of the money, was a Dem
ocrat and his appointees would for
that reason, probably be Democrats.
The Journal emphatically expressed its
utter disbelief in this rumor, and its
confidence in the broad minded men
who compose the legislature, and that
they would watch the interests Of the
state, and not Of any party or politi-
clans, in acting upon the matter. That
this belief is correct was proven Thurs
day, when the senate took up the mat
ter of bills vetoed by the governor at
the last session of the legislature. It
acted in a fair and unbiased way,
locked into the merits Of those vetoes,
and, where 1t thought the governor
was right, unhesitatingly and almost
unanimously sustained him. They put
the interests of the state above petty
politics, and acted as road-gauged
men should.
No doubt this same course will be
followed in dealing with the appropri-
ations for the exhibit at the Panama
exposition. The Journal yesterday ad-
vanced the idea of advertising the
state by properly prepared literature,
descriptive Of the wonderful products,
and bearing the stamp OF the states
approval. 1t also suggested that every
county in the state prepare the same
kind Of literature, and bearing the
county's approval by being signed or
endorsed by its county judge or other
officers. We believe that this will
prove the working feature Of the occa-
sion. The splendid display Of our pro-
ducts, and no state can make q finer
one, will attract attention, but the lit
erature telling all about these products
is the stuff that will induce the intel
llgent, reading immigrant to make his
home with us. The cost would be trif-
ling-but 1t would surely prove a pay
ing investment, even though consid-
cradle sum should be expended in this
line For instance: Suppose such lit
erature, costing, say $4,000, should at
tract 200 persons, during the whole
fair, and cause them to settle in the
state, and that each Of theese 200
should pay taxes of $40 each per year,
then the total amount expended would
be returned at the end of a year, and
the state would get the same amount,
or more from them alone every year
thereafter.
or course, It is expected the opening
Of the canal, and the big exposition
will send thousands of homeseekers
into the state, and the amount they will
contribute to the states support will
be infinitely larger than the sum
named, and It Is only used as an illus
ltratlon. Legistion providing for this
will be wise legislation, and It is up to
this legislature to at least look into
this phase Of the exposition

BANKING POWER CONCENTRATED

THE annual supplements Of the
financial and commercial jour
nails contain some valuable OBJ
servations on the development of mod
ern business. A casual reading of the
articles on banks and banking will
convince one that there is urgent
need for national legislation along
these lines. One Of the most valuable
statements made to the puJo commit
tee was that revealing the control Of
the greater banking institutions Of
the country by the Morgan group" Of
financiers. The tendency is explained
by some witnesses familiar with the
subject is toward concentration. This
Is verified by the financial news from
nearly every city Of importance, Some
OF these mergers have been accom-
plished through local industry and
capital, but others-and perhaps the
larger ones-have found their incep-
tion in the financial circles Of New
York City.
The Brooklyn Eagle recently printed
a report on banking in Greater New
York. 1t was shown that nine consoli-
dations among banks and trust COM
panies in the metropolitan area had
been accomplished last year. These
mergers involved II institutions, with
total capitalization Of $36,000,000, a
total surplus Of more than 100000 900,
total loans and deposits close to $780,
100000, and total resources nearly
$S60,000,O00. These mergers were
brought about by the approval Of the
federal and state authorities under the
laws now in operation. Literally there
was nothing illegal in the procedures.
The contracts and agreements we're in
compliance with existing regulations,
Doubtless some of the consultations
were the outcome of business growth
hut 1t is possible that not few re-
suited from the same tendency toward
concentration that has been noticed
elsewhere
Testimony before the Pujo commit
tee showed that ]. p Morgan & Co,
holds the dominant place In American
finance The Morgan house, through
1S0 men whose actions are controlled
by the organization, has power over
resources in banks and industrial
concerns amounting 10 more than $685.
00OO0O,OOO which Is nearly $30OO,OOO,-
900 more than the country's total
banking power These facts demand
consideration, 1t Is to be noted that
business is steadily adjusting itself to
the Sherman antitrust law, while
trusts are being dissolved and Cor
ners" in commodities prohibited, the
concentration and control Of banks
and banking power--which include, or
at least influence credit--are going
ahead rapidly, and in evident compli-
ance with existing laws If banking
concentration Is not desirable, as
many believe, we must pay attention

ations and currency distribution are

WILLAMETTE YEAR
BOOK IS BEST YET
Contains 800 Pages and Is Full of In
teresting Matter, Set Off With
Cuts of Buildings.

The Wallulah, Willamette Universi
tvs year book, made its first appear.
ance at chapel this morning This
year s issue of the publication is with
out doubt the best Junior. Annual ever
published at the local school
The book contains 300 pages and is
bound in leather. 1t is replete through
gut with cuts showing every student ac.
tivity, and has many excellent pictures
of the buildings and campus, including
some pen sketches of all the former
buildings of the institution during the
days of the Oregon institute, and other
early periods in the history of the
school,
An important and very interesting
portion of the book is the part given to
telling of the early history of the school
the establishment of the mission that
later grew into the town of Salem, and
other matters of interest regarding the
early settlement of this section of the
country.
The book is divided into 12 depart.
ments, giving separate departments to
the history of the school, the faculty
the seniors, the Juniors, sophomires
freshmen, academy, forensics, athletics,
alumni directory and school calander
and jokes.
The book is a revelation as regards
the multitude of departments and the
number of organizations existing in the
school and portrays the fact that the
magnitude of the college activities car,
ried on at the local university compares
favorably with those of any institu.
tion in the Northwest.
Taken as a whole, the publication is
one of exceptional merit, and Editor
Enrol Gilkey and Manager Ralph Ho-
man are deserving great praise for
their work in getting out this edition.
The year book is taken as the mirror
of any school, and this one certainly
gives Willamette rank at the top of the
list.
