The copperhead shake that killed
four Kentuckians by crawling into

T. j. CLEETON
Circuit Judge of Multnomah County,
Candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for
JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME
COURT.
Primary election May 15

A candidate for one of the four
places to be filed at the forthcoming
primary election. He stands for a
reformed procedure in our courts.
His policy has been and will continue
to be: LESS delay, less technicality,
and more justice.
Some of his more important de-
cisions show where he stands. Among
these are the minimum wags law, the
abatement act, the commission mer-
chants act all upheld by him; the tax
penalty law, held invalid as to penal
ties levied on unpaid taxes prior to
September 1st. All of these laws are
along the lines of progressive legis-
lation and Of vital Importance to the
people. OF the more than four thous-
and probate and circuit court cases
which have gone through Judge Clee-
ton 5 court while he has been on the
bench, not one has been reversed by
the Supreme Court.

Bristol. Va, Oct 20--A sensation
was sprung on the floor of the Hols-
Ton Conference of the Methodist Epis-
'copla Church South, now holding its
ninety-third session here when Rev.

elder. charged this afternoon that
sacred funds of the conference had
been loaned for use in opening a
saloon at Radford, Va,

of a resolution to have a bank or
trust company act as general treas
urer of the. conference. He said that
an immense amount of money had
been lost and wasted through loose

ference board treasurers will have
their accounts audited and some trust
company will be chosen a teller and
custodian of the church funds. 1t IS

stimulate the benevolent contribp-
tions to the church.

kaiser's Troops Continue Attacks.

London, Oct, 2O-Ostend is report.
ed again in the hands of the allies.
Checked in their desperate attempt
&c overwhelm the Belgian-English
forces that opposed their advance
down the coast, the Germans now are
menaced by strong force from the
lear.
This was the substance of news
dispatches received here which while
lacking any official confirmation are
repeated so persistently as to be
credited even in official circles.
For the first time the British navy
has played its part in land engage
ment. Under cover of heavy fire from
the fleets big guns a combined navy
brigade and army detachment were
landed near Ostend, and before the
Germans realized the coup were safe

the Ypres canal and Nieuport, on
the Belgian North Sea coast, their

Military experts, in admitting their
belief that the allies have retaken
Ostend, point out that the official
announcement tells of the part play

knowledge; that if the fighting be-
came too hot, retirement could be
eected to the transports under cover

The Germans are continuing their
efforts to break through the allied
