IAN ELECTRICAL
| EXHIBITION
Cooper Brothers Of Aberdeen
Show Wonderful Electrical
Act at the Weir

The Cooper Brothers, Alger, Frank
and Russell, young Aberdeen electrical
workers. have been a big attraction
at the Weir theater, "Wednesday and
Thursday nights. in an electrical act
they have invented, an act that is
certainly wonder, in fact the boys
are apparently immune from any evil
effects of electric force of almost any
voltage.
With a million vote machine the
boys handle electricity with the same
ease one would handle any harmless
fluid. They melt an iron wire and
steel to show the power of the cur
rent, and do it under water as well
as in the air. One of the Cooper
boys draws the Juice from the ma
chine with a metal wand and a broth
err draws it from his foot, hand, head
and tongue, even igniting cotton from
each part of the body, lighting a can
die, an oil lamp and red fire from
the fingers, the entire body being
charged with the strong current of
electricity
A charged wire is stretched over the
aisle, and one of the brothers drawing
the current into his body by wand
held in one hand, passed through the
audience a metal dish, containing a
silver dollar, in the other, offering the
dollar to anyone who could take it
from the dish.
The apparatus made for the act by
the Cooper Brothers has cost them
over $4,000, and their act is sure
wonder. They go to Seattle next week
to tryout for an engagement on the
Pantages circuit. J. w. Groves will
accompany the brothers as business
manager.

HOFFMAN WINS
DAMAGE CASE
Jury Awards Robt. Hoffman
$4,000 Damages, After
4 Hours Deliberation

MONTESANO, Oct. 3O-After near.
ly two full days of testimony-much
of which was of an expert nature
the Robert Hoffman case against Dr.
|. r. Watkins, for damages for alleg-
ed malpractice was brought to close
about adjourning time last night 1t
was the last case of the jury term
A verdict of $4,000 was returned about
8 o'clock. The jury was out about
four hours.
This case probably was the hardest
fought of any this term. For DR.
Watkins, Bridges and Hogan were
the attorneys and for Hoffman, Cross
and Metzger were employed. Both
sides had given the case a lot OF
study, both for this trial and the pre-
vious one.
Hoffman alleged that one night two
years ago he was assaulted, knock
ed down and suffered a dislocated
shoulder. DR.. Watkins was called
and treated him for a sprain. About
two months later he was examined
by Drs. Randall and Austin. The
dislocation was discovered, but it was
so old then that to reset the arm bone
it was necessary to cut some of the
muscles. thus impairing the use OF
the arm for life.
The defense claimed when Wat
kins was called there was no dislo-
cation and that if there was dislo.
cation it was suffered later from fall
ing when intoxicated.

Muchly Peeved

The editor of the Daily Crouch
was peeved last week to think that
any progressive had the effrontery to
vote against him and his pet scheme
of fusion on the state senatorship. He
as much as inferred that anybody that
wasn't for him wasn't progressive.
Messrs. Beach and McGrath must rec
ognize his rights as an innocent pur-
chaser not only to the title, but to
convey it elsewhere after the primar-
ies-just like buying government land.
In fact he became so badly peeved
that he turned his editorial job over to
the former campaign editor who car
ried on spite campaign two years
ago SO successfully that he elected DR..
Hasty by big majority. He has open
ed up on the doctor again and as ev-
eryone knows who he is and the num-
Der of years he was fed by the Doc
tor his venom will only react as it
did before.
In the meanwhile the editor Of the
Crouch must have that nomination SO
as to carry out his part of the deal
by which the people (Messrs. Fee,
Jones and Crary) are to be turned
over to the democrats. By the way
If the substitute editor wants to
disguise himself he had better butcher
his English SO it will bear some re-

The voters OF this congressional
district, who believe in the protection
Of the states industries, will be Of
fered an opportunity to GUST Ed Keat-
ing, our present misrepresentation,
and elect a man who will stand for
the upbuilding of our industries, for
the preservation Of law and order, and
for unfolding the good name of the
state at all times. This can only be
done by the people laying aside po-
litical prejudice and uniting on a can
didate for the position.
In this connection Prowers county
has candidate who thoroughly rep
resents all of these sentiments in
Hon. N. N. Mclean. He is already
assured of the progressive nomination
rs he is the only designated candi-
date. He has also been designated rs
one of the repulli, an candidates .ur
the position and we feel confiden. that
if the situation is properly put before
the republican voters of the district
he will also be made their nominee.
Mr.. Mclean served two terms in the
Colorado assembly in the trying days
when republicans were scarce in Col
orado. He acted as republican leader
both terms and madea reputation as
a leader and parlamentarian that has
given him prominent place in the
states politics since. He was the pro-
gressive nominee for congress two
years ago and made a splendid race
at that time. If given both the repub-
lican and progressive nominations he
is certain to win. With division Keat-
ing may be elected. This situation
should assure Mr.. Mclean the hearty
support of all republicans, of all be-
levers in protection and all lovers Of
law and order.

Our Next Serial Story

The Register has secured "Walling-
ford in His Prime" as its next serial
stoy. The second series of adventures
of the famous get-rich-quick artist, ].
Rufus Wallingford, should be of es-
pecial interest to citizens of Lamar
and vicinity. The author, Mr.. Chester,
is said to have taken the idea of his
famous character, ]. Rufus Walling-
ford, from reading detective bu-
reau's report on the life and enter
prises of Franklin A. Umsted, pro-
moter of the Denver & Gulf R. R.
After reading this story Lamar can
realize how luckily we escaped, as
generally he got the swag before he
left. If you are not already a sub
scriber of this paper you had better
get your name down quick as this
story is worth several time the price
of years subscription for itself
alone, and more still on account of
its especial interest to our people. 1t

promotion schemes by which he works
different communities, and one where
he returns to town he had previous

damages for calling him a swindler.

PEhDLETOH HAS NOT SEEN
DROP OF RAIN FOR Al DAYS

II has now been Al days since PEN
dleton and Umatilla county has re-
ceivei drop OF rain and. while the
long. dry spell was appreciated while
harvest was on. there is now a unan-
imous and impatient call for rain.
The last shower that visited Pen
dleton was on the night of September
l3 when there was a thunder storm.
Although the shower was violent, 1t
lasted but short time and there was
only .06 of an inch precipitation. on
the 18th there was a rainfall of sim
liar proportions, on the 11th there
was .l2 inch fall and on the 4th,
a sprinkle yielded .o3, making the to-
tai rainfall for July 81 of an inch.
The last real rain this year was on
June "a when there was two fifths
of an inch precipitation.
A consultation OF the records kept
by Observer r. F. Averill shows that
there have been five other dry sum-
mers in the last quartz of a century.
In 1911, there was not a drop of
rain in July. while August yielded
only IL of an inch. In July. 1910,
there was but ,Ol of an inch and in
August only a trace so small that II
could not he measured. In 1898,
there was not a drop of rain in Au-
gust and only .O9 of an inch in July,
In 1892, July furnished only .OS and
August .lS OF an inch. In 1890. the
July precipitation was .0S OF an inch
and in August there was .07.
