Ashland has taken a great step for
ward, but she must take another.
Hundreds of men and women will
visit your city. They will look for
every flaw. They will write their
impressions to their eastern friends.
For example:
Spent three weeks in Ashland.
Have regained my health. The
springs are excellent. But the PEO-
PLE!-the PEOPLE! All they want
is your money. They do nothing to
induce one to live among them. They
have splendid buildings for a state
normal school, but let political crooks
steal their appropriations and had not
the energy to fight for it, so the
buildings are going to ruin. Think
Ashland would be the best place for
our daughter to regain her health,
but there is no place for her to brush
up her normal work, so would advise
you to meet me in Los Angeles.
FATHER.
"P. SIN an hours walk | saw
some fine hogs some fine peaches,
three bulldogs and five game cocks"
Ashland and southern Oregon must
have state normal school, and must
have it this fall.
Sincerely,

AID THE KIDNEYS.
Ashland Sufferers Should Take No
Further Risk.

Why will people continue to suf-
fer the agonies of kidney complaint,
backache, urinary disorders, lame
ness, headaches, languor-why allow
themselves to become chronic inval-
ids, when a tested remedy is offered
them?
Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used in kidney trouble over so years,
have been tested in thousands of
cases.
If you have any, even one, of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, act
now, for gravel, dropsy or Bright's
disease may set in and make neglect
dangerous. Can Ashland residents
demand more convincing proof than
the following?
II. Schurman, carpenter and build
er, Phoenix, Ore, says: "Doan's s
Kidney Pills have been used in my
home to good advantage and we have
always found them exactly as repre-
sented. Cne of my family was in
had shape with kidney trouble and
short use of Doan's Kidney Pills set
him right"
Price soc. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Schurman recommends. Foster

ATLANTA.-'Uncle Sam" Ham

and on these deacons and trustees
and visiting clergymen very often
hang their wearing apparel before
they enter the church. No one knows
of this practice better than the
church thief.
The expert thief comes arrayed in
white tie and puts an arm around
the shoulder of the brother he meets
in the vestibule, asks for another
brother by name and then wants to
know where to put his things.
After a while the thief believes
that he will have to hurry back to
house for church extension report
that he has forgotten or some similar
reason, if it is necessary to give any
to an inQuisitive looking bystander.
Then he goes to the ante-room and
picks the pocket of every coat there.
If there are soft hats there he crowds
two or three of them into the pockets
of the best overcoat he can find, for
that's the one he will wear out, to-
gether with the best hat, leaving his
old possessions behind.
When these robberies are detected
at the end Of the service of course
there is respectable hubbub. A
Broadway sexton says that he has
heard at times somewhat petulant
language on the part of losers.
Rubbers and overshoes of every
sort are frequently stolen. Pehaps
the greatest harvest of the church
thief is when he meanly takes adj
vantage of the good old-fashioned re-
vival meeting.
The thief waits until the exhorter
invites all those wrestling with the
spirit that prompts a change of heart
to come up to the altar. In such
emotional moments the owners of
garments pay little heed to their
safety. AS soon as they have gone
to the altar the church thief takes
advantage of his opportunity. Many
hat and coat has been stolen at
such times.
Collections in some instances are
placed in ante-rooms awaiting the
church treasurer. Even these have
not been secure always, church
thieves often inventing reasons for
entering the room and stealing all or
part of the contribution.

Party of Blackfeet, Sightseeing in
Washington, Happened Upon SpO-
pee, Grown Gray, and Established
His Tribal Identity With Songs.
WASHINGTON, ID. C.-After thir-
ty-four years behind the bars under
life sentence for murder, Spopee,
Blackfoot Indian, was unconditional
ly pardoned today by President Will
son. He will be released at once

not seen since she was baby.
Identified BY Indian Songs.
A party of Blackfeet, sightseeing
in Washington months ago. happen
ed upon Spopee, grown gray with his
long Imprisonment. They established
his tribal identity by an Indian song,
and one of the Interpreters recog-
nized in Spopee the hero of an old
legend. who had disappeared a score
of years ago into some white mans
jail. Blackfoot mothers have been
Dsinging their children to sleep with
song about him ever since.
Officials of the Indian Office, advis-
ed of the discovery, began an investi-
cation which resulted in his pardon.
Spopee was charged with the MUIR
der of white man near the Cana
dian boundary north of the Montana
line. 1t is thought by the department
of justice that the murder probably
was committed in Canada and that
the territorial courts of Montana
which tried him at Fort Benton had
no jurisdiction. Moreover, it is now
believed that Spopee committed the
murder in self-defense.
Treasured an Old Picture.
Spopee explained tonight how he
had fought against the environments
of the insane asylum. He had treas
ured an old picture of heaven and
whenever his fellow prisoners started
a brain-racking demonstration he
said he thought of that picture"
and maintained the self-control that
apparently had taken him through
his long Imprisonment with mind I'M

VIII Get a Square Deal.
Spopee viii start back to the
BIackfeet reservation tomorrow in

PLEADS FOREMAN OF CONVICT
ING JURY BEFORE THE
PRISON COMMISSION.
IN PLEA FOR COMPUTATION
Holy Roller Preacher Was GOaded
Almost to Madness by TOrmenter
Until the Limit of Endurance Was
Reached, and Murder Followed.

With the wife and
father of the slain man sitting at one

pardon of J. w. Wooten, who receiV

bank director and citizen of King

Able counsel was present on both
sides, while many prominent men OF
Barlow county were present. Solicit
tor General Sam Maddox and Attor-
ney Neal of Gainesville appeared in
opposition to the pardon, while Reu-
ben Arnold and others urged it.
But the most remarkable plea
and statement of the hearing was
made by Charlie Jones, brother OF
the late Rev. Sam Jones, who was
foreman of the jury that brought in
the verdict of guilty of manslaughter
with recommendation to the "ex-
IRENE mercy of the court" Judge
Fite sentenced Wooten to ten years
servitude.
WOOten a Holy Roller.
WoOten was a Holy Roller and was
active in promoting his religious be-
left. Mr.. Jones in a statement in
which there was much of the thrill
and eloQuence and moving power of
MS distinguished brother told the
story of the tragedy.
He told of the long harrassing and
poking fun at Wooten because of
MS religious belief by Mr.. Griffin.
In this connection he said:

WAS ALMOST TROPICAL STEALING IN CHURCH
NEW YORK THIEVES GET AWAY
WITH $4,000 A YEAR.
They Get in Their Work While Those
Who Are Wrestling With the
Spirit Are at the Altar.

Spirit Are at the Altar.
1t is estimated that the suns of
money and articles stolen from
churches in the course of year in
New York amount to at least $780,
900. Seldom if ever is any of the
property recovered. In many cases
the thief is known, or suspected, but
nothing is done. The church people
do not care for the scandal.
The commonest sort of theft in
churches is the taking of the prayer
books and hymnals that are placed
conveniently for worshippers. These
books are slipped under cloaks or
capes by women and into coat pock-
cts by men who attend mass or ser
vice for just this purpose. The books
may be disposed of for few cents
at secondhand book stores.
There are more umbrellas stolen
from churches than from any other
place where there is an assemblage
of people. The reason is that church
goers are careless about their world
ly goods while in church. Or, if not
that, they are less suspicious of their
fellow man, and pay less attention to
their umbrellas.
Hats and coats are stolen from the
churches constantly. In many
churches there are racks in the little
ante-rooms opening of the vestibules

CLIMATE OF GEORGIA AND CAR
OLINA ONCE MUCH WARMER.
Geological Survey Experts Announce
Conclusions After an Exhaustive
Study of Ancient Flora.

WASHINGTON.-That the climate
of South Carolina and Georgia was
once almost tropical is one of the
interesting conclusions of experts of
the geological survey announced to-
day after an exhaustive study of the
ancient fora of those states. This
vegetation grew during Upper Gre
taceous and EOcene times-or as ge-
ologists state, at least several million
years ago.
Seas Extended Inland.
A study of this fora which has
been preserved in fossil form in the
rocks, indicates also that shallow
seas extended inland over one hun
dred miles from the present sea-
board; that there was considerable
elevation and relief of the Piedmont
area to the west: that the river gra-
dients were high and the streams
numerous and more or less torrential
in character and that there were
swamps along the lower courses of
the streams.
