Patent Medicine
Tax Struck Out

Proposed taxation of proprietary
medicines in the war revenue bill was
ordered stricken out Wednesday by
the democrats of the senate finance
committee. Reports had come of
general opposition throughout the
country and Majority Leader Under
wood and other members OF the house
ways and means committee had given
notice that the house would not agree
to a tax on the poor mans medi-
cine"
Action, however, did not include
elimination of the proposed tax on
shipments of newspapers. This would
eliminate bills of lading in the ship
ment of news and provide that all
bundles included in a general pack
age on a single train or other con-
veyance should be regarded as one
shipment. In lieu of bills of lading
the witness would require publishers
to issue on the 18th OF each month
a sworn statement of the number OF
such shipments made in the preced.
ing month and attach to these stamps
to the value of / cent for each ship
ment. Shipments of newspapers
made within the county of publica.
tion would be exempted from tax.

Malone Is Making
Recruiting Plans

c. A. Malone is making big plans
for the recruiting of the local COM
pany of the Oregon National Guard.
For some time past there has been
very little discipline, but he believes
that this can be readily stopped. The
first thing he intends to do its to
raise the standard of the guard, and
to enlist new members. Mr.. Malone
believes that every young man should
tary training, as it gives them many
advantages, such as erectness. correct
walking, and other physical attri-
butes. Also he thinks that every man
should be willing to spend at least
this much time in the service of his
flag. The work is very instructive, as
1t is practically a branch of civil en-
gineering. MIR. Malone wishes to get
the company up to full strength.
Practice will be regular, and every
one will be compelled to attend, un.
less they previously send in their eX-
cuse. Athletics will be taken up and
the whole work made as interesting
and instructive as possible. Mr.. Ma
lone will take the examinations in a
month or so. We believe that he will
be able to make a great success OF
the work.

Blue Departs
For Honolulu

d. p. Blue leaves as soon as he can
get his booking from San Francisco
for passage for Honolulu, where he
joins his family He has accepted a
position in the schools as a teacher
of manual training. He has been to
the islands several times before, and
likes the country and climate there
very much.
He tells some very interesting
stories about the people and the GUS
toms of the country. Wages are high
and work quite plentiful, he says.
One thing he remarks about employ
ment is that an employee seldom gets
fired, as the managers of most OF the
concerns live on the American conti-
nent and know very little of proceed
ings over there, except that it pays
or doesn't pay. When a proposition
doesn't pay, then is the only time
that a man gets bounced. Many oi
the big emporiums, he says, are oper.
ated by Chinese and Japanese, ant
there are special departments fol
white and dark trade. He believe:
that the country is a wonderful on'
for a young man to gain experience
in.

Klamath Still
Believes Can Win

Klamath Falls Northwestern: Lo-
cal athletic fans are looking forward
with much anticipation to the first
football game of the season. which
will be staged at Modoc Park Satur-
day, October "a, between the Klam-
ath county high school and Ashland
high school elevens. Athletic Man
ager Hawley of the high school has
finished schedules for the game and
only enthusiasm now remains to be
secured to make the game for the
home boys.
Although news was received from
the valley city yesterday stating that
Ashland walloped Grants Pass Satur-
day with a score of S4 to 0, the nervy
Klamath Falls boys feel confident of
their ability to make the score lop
the other way when they get hand
in the game. In weight the Ashland
boys are far superior to the local
high school players, as well as in
experience. Nearly the entire team
of Ashland players were with the
squad when it visited this city last
fall and was held down to a scoreless
game. Only two men of last years
local eleven remain to play for thei1
school this year, but despite this fact
Coach Motschenbacher is confident
his men can Outright and outclass any
bunch of school pigskinsters looking
for challenges.

Dr.. WithycOmbe
In Ashland

Dr. Withycombe republican candi-
date for governor, spent this week
in southern Oregon. He arrived in
Ashland Tuesday evening and spoke
at the armory Tuesday night We'd
nesday morning he made trip to
Talent and Phoenix, returning here
at noon and holding reception for
the ladies at the Oregon Hotel at 2
o'clock. The situation was unfortu-
nate for his meeting at the armory,
1t was race between his voice and
the cracking of the heating pipes, and
the heating pipes won. He found
himself unable to talk against them
and his speech was reduced in time
to about twenty minutes
He complained all through his talk
about misrepresentation by the press.
He took up the charge that he had
been corked up and delivered canned
speeches and assured the audience
that it was not true. He said he had
been charged with lodging the sa-
loon question, and justified his ac-
tion by asserting that his party had
not taken a stand ON the question,
therefore he was not privileged to
talk, but asked those interested to
look up his record, declared the
liquor question was a moral and eco
nomic issue and not a partisan one,
and in earnest voice said he could
treat the dry and the wet in a
righteous manner"
DR.. Withycombe denied being in
favor of abrogating the Chinese eX-
clusion laws, though he believed
what he had said about its being a
mistake that Oregon people had lis
tened to San Francisco agtators, and
drove the Chinese from their work
in clearing the lands in Clackama'
county for $25 per acre and that this
100000 acres of fine land was Sc
productive that the owners netted the
price from the first crop. He de
clared he knew this to be true from
personal knowledge and had men
toned it in his speech there, anC
felt hurt that he should be misrepre
sented, declaring the press was tn
curse of politics. He declared il
grieved tones that he was being cru
ELY used by the press by being de
clared unfriendly to labor when h
had worked for wages for three year
in Oregon before he bought piec
of land for himself and urged tn
people to believe him when he sal,
he believed "the laborer was worth
of his hire"
Il am being falsely charged wit
being opposed to the primary system
because | had the temerity to sa
that / was in favor of convention
to help party organization"
He frequently injected a note O
grief and declared that his forty
three years in Oregon had been a
open book 81 wish politics wer
cleaner or more honorable and re
gret that when man runs for offic
he can't get square deal"

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG

Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell
When You Darker Gray, Faded
Hair With Sage Tea and
Sulphur
Grandmother kept her hair beau
tifully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance. this simple mixture was ap-
piled with wonderful effect. BY ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get large bottle of this old
time recipe, ready to use, for about
so cents. This simple mixture can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair and is
splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp
and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Snulphur, because it darkens so
natv~2 " and evenly that nobody can
tell It has been applied-it's so easy
to use, too. Simply dampen comb
or soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears:
after another application or two. i
is restored to it's natural color an1
looks glossy and abundant. e.,

UNKNOWN MAN
KILLS HIMSELF
Send Pistol Bullet Through
Head While Seated on
Wishkah Street
DESPONDENT SAYS NOTE
Was II Years Of Age and
Tired of Life-Wants No
Relatives Looked for

AS Charles Clark was walking along
Wishkah street near II street about
Z o'clock Wednesday evening, he
heard a pistol shot, and saw a man
seated at bill board fall over. Hur-
rying to his side, Clark found the
man with a bullet hole through his
head, and gave the alarm. Chief of
Police Seaman and Councilman War
rem Egerer were soon on the scene,
and as the man was still alive he was
taken to the Aberdeen General hospi.
tai, where he died four hours later.
That the act was deliberate usicide
was evident from the following note,
written on a salesmans order blank,
found in his pocket:
81 have lived II years-that is
long enough. Tried to and did
live honestly. Was true to all,
but very few were true to me.
At last l went wrong and l am
going into the great beyond and
face my record. Don't spend any
money looking for relatives"
A letter was also found from the
Robertson Supply Co., of Tacoma
which referred to the sale of carpet
at Willapa, and a siX-months-old pro-
gram of the Novelty theater, Hoquiam
from which it is inferred that he had
been some time on Grays Harbor. He
was neatly dressed in blue coat
and brown vest and pants. The labels
showed that the coat had been pur
chased in Puyallup and the vest in
Tacoma.
The body was removed to the White
side morgue, where card was found
in pocket containing the address Of
L. f. Steele, Portland, Oregon, and
the Whiteside Undertaking Co. is
sparing no efforts to establish his
identity and locate relatives if he
has any.
He was positively identified yes
terday afternoon as man named Nc
Coy, who had been employed at the
Donavan mill, and last evening Frank
Donavan was of the opinion that he
was Mccoy, but search at McCoy's
lodgings found him in bed asleep
so that so far the suicide remains
unknown.
He was about five feet six inches
in height, wore a grey moustache
and was slightly bald. Although the
note gave his age as II, he had the
appearance of a man between IS and
60 years of age.
