DEI ENDS SENATOR MITCHELL
Senator Bailey, of Texas, took up
the cudgel last week oa the floor of the
senate in behalf of the late Senator
Mitchell. He condemned the action of
the senate for its lack of respect for
the old man of Oregon. He said that
it would take more th?n the word of
self-confessed perjurers, robbers and
thieves to convince him of the wilful
dishonest; of Senator Mitchell, who
died with an estate appraised at leis
than 93,000 when he had had as many
opportunities to acquire wealth as had '
others who had became millionaires
while serving their country in the
houses of congress. One of the pecu
liar things about the debate which the
senator from Texas, whose integrity
has never been questioned by anyone,
precipitated was that Senator Spooner,
a very wealthy man whom the govern
or of Wisconsin says is a grafter of the
worst sort, was the man who was put
forward to defend the action of the ma
jority in its slight to a man of poverty,
who died an ostracized United States
senator, convicted of a misdemeanor.
The enlistment of the Seattle Times
in the cause of self-government for
Alaska is one of the gains of the pres
ent moi.th. The Ti;u s stronz'y en

gou Governorship
Judge Charles A. Schlbrede, former
United States court commissio ".er at1
Skagway, now practicing law at Rose
burg, Oregon, is a candidate for the re
public in nomina'ion to be governor of
Oregon. He has issued an address to
the people of the state io vrhich tie sets
forth the i&sues upon which he will
make his campaign before tJe prim-1
arie?.
One of the principal things in Judge
Sehlbrede's platform is a declaration
against the action of the last legisla
ture in raising the salary of the govern
or from 31,500 a year to $0,000 a year.
He holds that the act is unconstitution
al inasmuch a. the constitution fixes
$1,500 as the salary.
They have a primary election law k
Oregon and all the republicans of the j
state will have an opportunity to vote
upon the candidacy of Ju^ge Sehl
brede.

TALK APPEAL
TO THE COURTS
According to the Juneau Dispatch
there is some talk at that place of the
merchants appealing to the courts to
break up the Alaska Steamship Associ
ation. It is said that legal talent at
Juneau has determined that the recent
agreement which resulted in a raise of
the freight rates and the preparation of
and identical agreement by both the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company and
Alaska Steamship Company for con
tractors to sign are contrary to law.
ON TIME
Time and Tide Wait For No
Man
You don't need to have anybody wait
for you when you carry one of our time
pieces.
If a man choses to carry an Inaccu
rate timepiece,
THAT'S HIS BUSINESS.
If he prefers to get a new one or have
his old one repaired and made accurate,
THAT'S OUR BUSINESS.
And we know onr business thoroughly,
An inaccurate timepiece may cause one
a world of inconvenience. It may cause
the loss of many dollars, or even a loss
of lifts.
When time is in dispute the watch
from Kern's decides.

Act quickly in time of danger.

Doan's Kidney Pills act quickly.
Cure all distressing, dangerous kidney
ills.
Plenty of evidence to prove this.
Mrs. A. Canavan of 733 Northrup
Street, Wife of A. Canavan, who is em
ployed at the city waterworks, Portland,
Oreg., savs: "For two or three years,
owing to kidney complaint and back
ache, I was some days unable to attend
to my household duties at all. What I
did do was under great s'rain and mis
ary. When, owing to a weak, lame and
aching bick, you are unable to sit,
stand or lie when dizzy spells are com
mon and you are annoyed with head
acne, you naturally think a good deal of
the means at last employed which gave
relief. I used Doan's Kidney Pills,
taking them according to directions
and I found more relief from them than
from all other remedies I ever took put
'ogether. When in conversation with
-<ny one annoyed with symptoms of kid
ney complaint, I never fail to get in a
good word for Doin's Kidney Pills."
