PRINCETON PREXY
SPEAKS TONIGHT
Dr. John Crier Hibben. presi
dent of Princeton university, will
speak to I'niverslty club mem

HERE'S NEW VIGOR FOR
OVERWORKED STOMACHS
Crown Drug Co., tho popular
druggists, have been in the drug
business long enough to have
their own opinion of the best way
of selling medicines. The., say
the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the
great dyspepfia remedy, is the
fairest they have ever heard of.
They don't believe that a mcdl-
cine ought to be paid for unless
it does the user some good. And
Ml-o-na Is sold under a positive
guarantee to relieve dyspepsia or
to refund the money. You simply
leave 50 cents on deposit with
Crown Drug Co. and if, after you
~liave used the box of Ml-o-na you
decide that it has done you no
good, all you have to do is to
tell them so and they will return
your money.
Hundreds of people have been
relieved of stomach agonies by
using this remarkable remedy. It
is not simply a food digester; it
is a medicine that puts all of the
digestive organs into normal con
dition and gives ruddy, glowing,
vigorous health. A change for
the better will be seen alter the
first few doses of Ml-o-na, and
its continued use will soon give
the power to eat anything at any
time and not suffer distress aft
erward.
Ml-o-na is sold under a posi
tive guarantee to refund the
money if It does not cure. This
Is the strongest proof that can
be offered as to the merit of the
medicine.
Nothing lessens a man's suc
cess in his work or a woman's
fascinating personality more
than a weak stomach, with its at-
tending evils. I'se Mi-o-na and
see how much more there Is in
life.

City Will Lose
$1,900; Collins
Assumes Blame
Because of carelessness in the
light department in estimating
the expense of extending electric
light to the Lemons beach dis
trict, outside the city limits, the
city faces a loss today of $1,'.» 00,
according to the admission of
Electric Stipt. Collins to the
council.
Collins was let off with the
comforting words of Mayor Faw
cett that "all men make mis
takes," and a promise to the
council that he would not do it
again.
The extension was made on re
quest of Chief of Police Loom is,
who lives In the district, and oth
er persons. Aest. Siipt. Avquette
made the original survey and re
ported that it would cost $500 to
MAYOR INVITES
WALL TO QUIT
Declaring that he had proof
that Health Officer Wall was
showing favoritism to friends.
Mayor Fawcett today informed
the health officer that "he could
quit his job at once if he did not
treat everyone alike."
The mayor's outburst came at
the conclusion of a tilt with (he
health officer in Fawcett's pri
vate office.
The favoritism, according to
Fawcett, was shown in the matter
of quarantine.
A family with which Mayor
Fawcett Is acquainted has been
quarantined for several weeks be
cause of a mild case of scarlet
fever in one of the children. Com*
HOPE OF FINDING
BODIES DWINDLES
The Great Northern railroad
reported at noon that its trans
continental line through the Cas
cades, blockaded by snow slides
since Saturday, would be open to
traffic some time today. Cold
weather has aided in the clearing.
If warm weather should return,
I the enormous mass of snow in
I the mountains would probably
j make a lot of trouble.
I "Nl* |lll|«*.
The hope of finding the three
missing victims of Saturday's
wreck has dwindled away. An
army of laborers is still working
in the vain hope of finding some
traces ot the bodies before they
are covered with more snow. If
they were swept below the lower
tracks, there Is no hope of reco
vrtng them for months.
The missing bodies are those of
Mrs. Fern Wallace and her baby,
of Lyons, Wash., and Ralph Bat
terson, 8. The three bodies of
tbe members of the Batterman
family were recovered. Mrs.
Batterman with her five-year-old
son are in an Everett hospital.
More Snow Here.
Even the most strenuous ef
forts of Weatherman Cover were
unable to check the persistent In
clination to keep on snowing to
day.
From 6 o'clock last night up
to noon today an Inch and a half
of snow had fallen, with tbe
promise of more coming.
Though evidently very much
worried, Mr. Cover put the mat
ter very politely, like this:
Low barometric pressure, ex
tends over Washington and Ore

tonight and Wednesday with light
extend lights to the district. Col
lins understood that the $500
would cover all costs, and on his
recommendation the council or
dered the extension.
The complete job has cost
$2,467,5f1. and the fund raised by
Lemons bench property owners
for paying the bill is only, $."iO7.
Because the work was done out
side the city limits, and therefore
illegal, the city cannot force pay
ment of the sum. Total revenue
from the :.. houses supplied by
the expensive line is less than
$."ion a year.
B_.pt. Collins apologized to the
council today, saying it was the
first serious mistake he had made
during tho six years that he had
been in office.
plaint was made to the mayor
that the family had been quaran
tined for an unjust period of time.
Fawcett informed his friends that
he whs powerless to help them be
cause the law demanded a six
weeks' quarantine, and was told
that Dr. Wall was not enforcing
the quarantine in other cases.
The mayor demnnded proof. To
day, he said, It had been supplied
him. Dr. Wall was immediately
caller! on the carpet and told that
his resignation would be accepted.
Both officials were red with
anger when the interview was
over. Health Officer Wall did not
announce whether he would ac
