An investigation of the ice cream cone peddlers, who have infested the city during the last month !s to be undertaken. It is claimed the men who peddle the confection pre unsanitary in their habits. The serious illness of little Roland Lawler,' aged 5, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lawler, South B street is attributed to p.n ice cream cone which he ate Saturday night. Several other children are reported to have been taken ill. The physicians in charge do not attribute . the illness to the ice ; cream bnt to the cones, which contain it when. sold. Are Foreigners. The peddlers are foreigners and live in barns. They , sleep in hay

mows and their persons and clothing are in some instances very unclean and unkempt. They peddle ice cream, all over the city jingling a little tell as they walk to attract attention of probable purchasers. A state law requires that everting offered for sale ia public whichhaa not natural y- -c;.ion against dirt be kept under t nut the cans containing the im can not be kept under glass . opened. A tin lid is-provided tied when the ' lid is removed, the dirt and filth ef the streets has easy access. The wind , blows the dust about and hurls it into the cream. The cones are carted about in tin boxes. Men have been seen to go for squares pushing their carts, the can of cones resting on top uncovered to the air. '" : Ordered to Leave Dayton. The Commercial club probably will conduct the investigation which is to be made. Its attention has been call ed to the conditions of squalor in which some of the peddlers live and manufacture the cones. Either the same gang of peddlers or a similar one that operated in Dayton was ord ered to leave there. It was but a few days after the Dayton authorities took this action that the men made their appearance in this city. They speak a foreign language and it is dif ficult to converse with them. It is presumed .the- city officials will take some action in the matter. HAD A GOOD SOUSE So drunk that he could not tell his name, nor whence he came, a stranger was arrested at the Panhandle de pot this morning.

THE LOWER ONE SHOWS LINCOLN'S STOrTY. - It Contained a Lessen For the Man With Grievance. An old farmer once called at the White House and complained that the Union soldiers in passing his farm had helped themselves not only to hay, but to his horse, and he hoped the president would urge the proper officer to consider his claim immediately. "Why, my dear sir," replied Mr. Lincoln blandly, "I couldn't think of such a thing. If I consider individual cases I should find work enough for twenty presidents." The caller urged his needs persistently, and Mr. Lincoln declined good natu redly. "But,' said the persevering sufferer, "couldn't yon just give me a line to Colonel about it Just one line?" "Ha, ha, ha!" responded the president, crossing his legs. "That reminds me of old Jack Chase out in Illinois. "You see, Jack I knew him like a brother used to be a lumberman on the Illinois river, and be was steady and sober and the best raftsman on the stream. It was quite a trick to take the logs over the rapids, but he was skillful with a raft and always kept her straight In the channel. Finally a steamer was put on, and Jack he's dead now, poor fellow! was made captain of It. He always used to take the wheel going through the rapids. One day when the boat was plunging and wallowing along the boiling current and Jack's utmost vigilance was being exercised to keep it In the narrow channel a boy pulled his coattall and hailed him with: 44 'Say, Mr. Captain, I wish you would just stop your boat a minute!

"Men talk sincerely. once said W. T.

They are not so logical as a young- colored recrolt who served In tbe Philippines. This young man at the end of his initial engagement was hauled before his captain. "So you ran at the first fire, did you? said the captain scornfully. " Tee. sab, an I'd 'a run sooner, sah. If I'd knowed it wax eomin.

Owing to the small pcx epidemic of the past four months, during which time there have been 124 cases of the dread disease, the expense to the health department of the city has been unusually heavy. The total amount appropriated up to date is $3,no, $1,OOO having been appropriated last evening at council meeting on the suspension of the rules. The epidemic is virtually eliminated and will within the next montbf be a thing of the past, as there are only three cases now in the city. A communication from City Controller Parry, to the council, accompanying the ordinance for the appropriation, stated that there were bills aggregating $423 due, which had been incurred by the health department. Mr. Parry stated that It was absolutely necessary that another appropriation be made in order to meet these bills, and also to have money in the treasury

to meet other bills, which might be in curred during the remainder of the year.' He said that it appeared as though the epidemic had been wiped out as there were fewer cases of smallpox at the present time than at any time in the past year. Only $575 Remains. Owing to the necessity, the rules were suspended and the ordinance unanimously passed. Mayor Schillinger immediately signed it. This morning City Controller Parry proceeded to pay the bills and now has $575 of last evening's appropriation left in the city treasury. During the month of May the expenses cf the health department, not counting that paid for salaries, was $209. SO. When the appropriation for . the health department was made last fall. when the city budget was being prepar ed, $600 was the sum set aside to op erate this department for the present year. By the end of January, the en tire sum had been spent. At the first regular meeting of coun cil in April, the necessity for addi tional funds was pointed out and an appropriation of $2,000 made., which with last evening's appropriation. makes the total amount $3,uOO. SOU OF WEALTHY FIRMER WITCHED Is Suspected of the Myster ious Murder of Leilah Hamilton. MAKING AN INVESTIGATION STOMACH OF MURDERED GIRL BEING EXAMINED TO DETERMINE NATURE OF POI80N ADMINISTERED TO HER. Gouverneur, N. Y., June 8. It was learned today that the secret suitor of pretty , Leilah Hamilton, who was mysteriously poisoned and who diej suddenly at he home in De Grasse, is the son of a wealthy farmer living near DeGrasse. - It was also learned that the young man has recently purchased drugs of a fatal nature at Canton. He is being closely watched and his arrest is imminent. It may be delayed until the grand jury has heard the evidence in the case. The grand Jurors are awaiting the. result of the chemical analysis being made of the girl's stomach and other organs. Arsenic the Cause. The report of the physician first called was . that Miss Hamilton had died of arsenical poisoning and the autopsy bore this out. The report of the state chemist will undoubtedly confirm this. All the evidence at hand points to a cruel, heartless murder. The death of the pretty nineteen-year-old St. Lawrence county belle, was not due to natural causes, according to the statement, of Assistant District Attorney Dolan, who is in charge of tbe case. He believes she died from a drug taken at the bidding of an admirer to hide an earlier wrong. What the drug was will be shown by the chemical analysis of the stomach and organs of the dead girl now being made by a noted chemist at the de mand of the coroner. Burial Was Today. The remains of the dead girl were buried today on a little knoll a few rods from her home on her father's farm. "Leilah Hamilton did not commit suicide. The facts, however, do not prove that she died a natural death." says Assistant District Attorney Dolan. "It Is probable that the girl's death resulted from a desire on the part of some one to hide the wrong done her. The autopsy showed that the girl's condition was not known to her parents. -In the belief that the girl died from

In the pa6t seventeen years, I have spent aa many months iin the timber districts of Washington and Oregon, and am therefore, very familiar with the values of both timber and land. In this time, I have made many purchases and sales of timber land In that country, and never have I made one that has not netted me SEVEN DOLLARS FOR EVERY ONE INVESTED. I buy direct from the actual settler, who has taken up this timber land from the government at practically no cost whatever to himself and. for spot cash laid down to him. I buy as, low as any living man can. There is absolutely no question about the title. It is from the government to the settler and from the settler to me. . 'Oh," you may say. "they will steal your timber." Impossible. They undoubtedly would it they could, but they cannot. The timber runs anywhere from 3 feet to 8 feet in diameter, and up to 200 feet In height, and,: In order to log this big timber, it is necessary to expend from $5,000 to ' S10.000 for donkey engines, etc. Hence the timber Is safe as against thieves. The only risk is from fire, and that is not any special risk, especially in Oregon, as there is but little underbrush. But even though it does burn over, your timber by no means burns up, and is good to be logged for two or three years. Besides, I buy nothing but that situated on river banks, and, of the timber all burned off (which la not likely, as it has stood there hundreds of years), the land is worth every dollar that I pay for both the timber and land. I do not think that 'I am saying too . much when I say that timber land, purchased at the right price from the actual settler, who wants money and is tired of the woods, is THE SAFEST AND MOST PROFITABLE INVESTMENT TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE. When I say that it Is as safe aa a government bond. I am not puting it too strong. ' . . On the 6th day of June. 1909. I leave, with my family, for the tin-' bered districts of Washington and Oregon. As stated before, ,1 have spent in the woods, about seventeen months in alL I know where the good buys are to be found and have options on some of the ' best pur- -chases to be had in these two states, every stick of which . timber I . will see before I buy. I have some friends who have confidence in my ability to buy, who have made arrangements with me to make investments for them. I will do the same for you. it you so desire. My char . ges to you will be 10 per cent, on the purchase price. LISTEN TO MY GUARANTEE. Anything that I buy for you, I will place my bond in the Union National Bank, of Richmond. InL. to pay you back, at the end of two or three years, every dollar of the purchase price you have paid If for any reason, you jrould rather have your money than your Investment, providing the timber remains on the' land at that time. In addition, if there is any question about my bond, to insure - its full and faithful performance to you, I will place, with my bond, first mortgage notes on farm lands that you know, to an amount equal to that of your purchase money. i. ; ? . : ? Of, r? Does this seem absolutely safe to' you? t Then come in and I will klo. you any further informatloa you desire. ' 1 ' v The price of timber land-varies, according to the accessabllity to the market, etc An 80 acre tract with, say, one and one-half million feet of timber convenient to the river bank, bought right (and this is the way, I would of necessity have to buy, with my bond up to take back, at the full purchase price, this land and timber, after two or three years, if from any reason, the investor wanted me to), should be bought for in the neighborhood of $1,000. The cruising of the timber would cost me about 5 per cent. I would then have 5 per cent, left me for my trouble, and at absolutely no risk to me, as I would buy this timber at a price that I would rather you would ask me to take it back than otherwise. You will have two years to know what you have got. If you find it a good thing and one which will make, you money (which you will), keep it; t if you think you would rather have back all the cash you have" paid for IL yo can get it. '...'-.-...'-.
