THE BANK PORTLAND, OREGON; SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1906. STATE OF OREGON 1880 OFTLAND, OREGON; SATURD NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Miss Susan B. Anthony is still very weak. The Algeciras conference is talking of compromise. The government has evidence of rebates given the sugar trust. No successor to Premier Rouvier has yet been named in France. Frantic efforts are being made to save Zoon City from bankruptcy. Frequent robberies have caused the closing of money order offices in Poland. Three officers of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company have been indicted for stealing. Two officials of the Standard Oil have called on President Roosevelt and seem anxious about investigation of trusts. J. Ogden Armour, head of the Armour Packing company, complains because of secret service men dogging him. The house committee on merchant marine and fisheries has fixed March 22 as the date for considering what action shall be taken on the ship subsidy bill. Chinese crews on the Pacific Mail steamer Manchuria have been caught smuggling arms and ammunition out of San Francisco for Boxers in China. It is not known how long this has been going on. France looks to America for a declaration in her favor on the Moroccan question. The War department says it will not discontinue the purchasing agency at Portland as has been reported. The next steamer sailing for the island of Tahiti will carry relief for the sufferers from the recent tidal wave. The New York legislature will now investigate state banks, as they are through with the insurance business. A son of John Bozuffi, an Italian banker of New York, has been kidnapped and is being held for a ransom of $20,000. The Chinese boycott is just being felt in the United States. Exports for January, 1906, show a falling off of about $780,000. The property of the rope trust, located at Boston, is to be sold by 'the sheriff. Failure to pay interest on bonds issued is the cause. That a man who has made homestead entry, paid the fees and actually lived thereon about one year, and who enlisted in the United States army or navy, serving four years, during which time he is unable to visit his land, does not necessarily forfeit his claim, is a decision by the Washington land officials. Japan has sent a warship to Chinese waters to protect her subjects. Rogers will answer questions at the Missouri oil hearing without further objection. The French army is in readiness for war should such an event come from the Moroccan dispute. The Steel trust is about to absorb all the independent companies. The deal will involve about $17,000. A woman has been captured who was carrying a bomb in her hair. When taken she was about to murder the governor of Moscow, Russia. Detective McPartland is endeavoring to make President Moyer, of the Federation, confess. The detective looks on the president as a tool of the other officials. The president of the National Dress-makers' association advises women to wear pockets, saying bags and purses carried in the hand are a temptation to thieves. The War department says it will send no more troops to the Philippines for the present. Those now on the way and already there will give General Wood a command of nearly 15,000 men. F. Samuels, secretary of the Oceanic Steamship company, says natives on Tahiti and neighboring islands are not suffering for food as a result of the recent tidal wave. He says the cocaoanut groves are on the highest points. Ex-Governor Hogg, of Texas, is dead. The transport Ingalls is wrecked on the coast of Luzon. Senators are trying to reach an agreement on the rate bill. Governor Pattison, of Ohio, is suffering from a nervous breakdown. Provision is Made in Amendment to Sundry Civil Bill. Washington, March 9.—The senate committee on commerce today voted unanimously to report favorably Senator Fulton's amendment to the sundry civil bill, appropriating $400,000 for continuing the work on the Columbia river jetty, with a view to its preservation until congress shall hereafter make provision for its completion. On advice of Senator Frye, chairman of the committee, Mr. Fulton did not attempt to amend his amendment, as recommended by the secretary of war, so as to authorize contracts to complete the jetty, to its full projected length, because it was universally agreed that any such change would certainly defeat the entire amendment and kill the $400,000 appropriation which now seems within grasp. Rather than run this risk, Mr. Fulton asked for a favorable report merely on his amendment as originally drawn. The commerce committee, before acting, gave a hearing to Mr. Fulton, who at some length pointed out the necessity for the adoption of his amendment, showing that, unless the money is provided, more than a mile of uncompleted jetty will be entirely lost, because of the certain destruction of the tramways. Unless his amendment is adopted, Mr. Fulton declared the tramway would be utterly destroyed by teredos during the coming season, and, once the tramway is gone, the half-finished portion of the jetty will be absolutely lost, because it will be impossible to build new trestles over unfinished rock work. This loss, he said, would cost the government fully $500,000, and would set back work on the jetty not less than two years. He showed that good business principles demand that the incomplete work be protected, and this can only be done by the immediate expenditure of $400,000, as explained by the army engineers. The committee was thoroughly convinced of the advisability of making this appropriation, and assured Mr. Fulton that it would individually and collectively aid him in securing the adopt.on of his amendment. While the committee is not favorable to making appropriations for new river and barbor work at this session, it regards this project as an extreme emergency. To increase the chances of getting this appropriation, the committee authorized a favorable report on an original bill identical in terms with Mr. Fulton's amendnet, and, in case one plan fails, the other will be pressed. Senator Piles, of Washington, who is a member of the commerce committee and extremely friendly to Columbia river improvement, is an enthusiastic supporter of Mr. Fulton's amendment. He, like other members of the committee, believes the action of the committee today makes it absolutely certain that the senate will attach the amendment to the sundry civil bill, but realizes that a fight will come when the bill goes back to the house. SEA-LEVEL CANAL FEASIBLE. Professor Burr Says It Can Be Dug in Ten Years. Washington, March 9.—Professor W. A. H. Burr, of New York, a member of the board of consulting engineers, appeared before the senate committee on interoceanic canals to discuss the type of canal to be constructed across the Isthmus of Panama. He said that since the report was prepared, his reflections convince him more than ever that a sea-level canal was more feasible than a lock canal. The witness was examined at length concerning the control of the Chagres river, and declared that the solution of the problem presented was entirely feasible. He declared he could see no reason why a sea-level canal should not be constructed in ten years, as no doubtful engineering feats were contemplated in the majority plan. The committee adjourned until 10:30 o'clock tomorrow, when it is understood Professor Burr will attack the wisdom of constructing a canal of the lock type provided for in the minority report. Washington, March 9. — Representatives of Alaskan canners and fishermen appeared before the house committee on territories today to oppose the Cushman bill. C. W. Dorr, Captain D. H. Jarvis, Representative Humphries and Fred Stimson, of Seattle, addressed the committee. The Cushman bill gives the department of Commerce and Labor practically a free hand in regulating Alaskan fisheries and the measure was criticized chiefly on the ground that it centers too great a power in the department. Two-Cent Fares for Virginia. Richmond, Va., March 9. — The Churchman bill fixing railway passenger rates at 2 cents per mile for 500 and 1,000-mile tickets passed the house today. It has previously passed the senate and now goes to the governor. New Age CASH FOR JETTY. Oppose Alaska Fishery Bill. Two-Gent Fares for Virginia IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Thursday, March 8. Washington, March 8. — Today afforded the last opportunity for general debate on the statehood bill, and the session was devoted to that order of business. Starting with a speech by McCumber, which began a few minutes after 11 o'clock, there was no cessation in the speaking until adjournment. The whole time was occupied by three senators, Beveridge, McCumber and Patterson, the former supporting and the latter two opposing it. Beveridge contended, that, while Arizona and New Mexico were unprepared for separate statehood, it was unjust to keep them out of the Union as one state. He took the ground against the Foraker amendment, which allows each territory to vote separately on the question of jointure. McCumber opposed even the joining of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and Patterson held that Arizona and New Mexico should be admitted as separate states. The senate will begin voting on the amendments to the bill at 4 p. m. tomorrow, and the final vote will be taken before adjournment for the day. Beveridge will have the hour between 11 and 12 o'clock in which to conclude his speech. Washington, March 8. — The house today passed the Indian appropriation bill and then proceeded to tangle itself up over the bill to abolish the grade of lieutenant general in the army. The result was an adjournment for lack of a quorum after members had been locked in the hall for half an hour and the sergeant-at-arms had been scurrying to the various hotels in search of members. The vote to consider the bill showed an overwhelming sentiment in its favor, and, as it is the pending business under call of committee, it will probably be reached and passed in due course. Wednesday. March 7. Washington, March 7. — President Roosevelt today sent a message to congress announcing his signature to the joint resolution recently passed instructing the Interstate Commerce commission to make examination into the subject of railroad discriminations and monopolies in coal and oil. He says frankly that he has signed it with hesitation, because it may achieve little or nothing. Washington, March 7. — With six set speeches and permission to print two others in the Record, none of which were on the same subject, the house today closed general debate on the Indian appropriation bill, and tomorrow will take that measure up for amendment. Before the house took up the Indian bill, Capron (Rep., R. I.) secured the passage of a joint resolution permitting the sale of government coal at Fort Davis, Alaska, to the citizens of Nome. The situation in Alaska prompting the legislation was indicated by Secretary Taft recently that there is an absolute coal famine in Nome. The cold weather closed navigation before the coal ships arrived, and the government's supply at Fort Davis is the only available supply. Washington, March 7. — The issues involved in the controversy over the pending railroad rate bill were squaredly presented to the senate today in the speech of Clapp, one of the Republicans supporting the measure without amendment, and by resultant remarks from Railey and Tillman, who are supposed to represent the views of the Democrats. Aldrich, Foraker, Crane and other Republicans, who are seeking to amend the bill so as to provide for judicial review of orders of the Interstate Commerce commission, took the position that the discussion of the situation demonstrated that the friends of the measure are divided and that the bill should not be accepted in its present form. Tuesday, March 6. Washington, March 6.—The house began its session today by passing without discussion or opposition a bill for the relief of tobacco growers by permitting them to sell leaf tobacco without paying the tax of 6 cents a pound heretofore charged. The rest of the day was devoted to tariff discussion, the Indian appropriation bill being the vehicle to carry the debate. Washington, March 6.—The question of the enlargement of the medical de Hermann as a Plagiarist. Washington, March 7.—Representative Hermann, probably in a fit of absentmindedness, today introduced another joint resolution proposing an amenndent to the constitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. This is the second time this session he has introduced this resolution, and in each instance he offered resolutions that had previously been introduced by other members, running his pen through the name of the original author and writing his own. NO. 46. partment of the army occupied the major portion of the time of the senate today. The question arose in connection with the consideration of a bill for the displacement of contract surgeons by physicians who shall be given the rank of army officers in the reorganization of the medical corps. Hale criticized the bill as an entering wedge for an increase of the army, and as a part of a general plan of the general staff, which he charged with a purpose to increase the army's importance. In his remarks the senator said the general staff was disposed to encourage an invasion of China. Carter and Gallinger spoke in somewhat the same vein of objection, while the bill was defended by Warren, Blackburn and other senators. The bill was not disposed of. The only speech of the day on the statehood bill was made by Long, who advocated the passage of the bill as reported by the committee on territories. Monday. March 5. Washington, March 5. — President Roosevelt sent a message to congress today, accompanying plans for coast defense prepared by a joint board of army and navy officers, in which he emphasizes the necessity for further defenses and reviews the history of the defensive works in this country. The president calls special attention to the recommendation of the board that the entrance to Chesapeake bay be added to the list of places in the United States to be defended. He says the insular possessions cannot be longer neglected if the United States desires to hold them. Defenses are recommended for Manila bay, Pearl harbor, Guantanamo, Guam, San Juan and Honolulu, because of their strategic situation. Defenses are recommended for the entrances to the Panama canal. Washington, March 5. — In the senate today, Nelson continued the discussion of the statehood bill, urging the passage of the measure as reported from the committee on territories. The remainder of the session was devoted to the passage of the bills on the calendar, among them being one providing for compulsory education in the District of Columbia and another regarding the selection of officers in the revenue cutter service. Two others of importance to the West were: Providing for the issuance of patents for lands to Indians on the Colville reservation, state of Washington, under the Moses agreement of July 7, 1883. To confer jurisdiction upon the Circuit court for the Ninth circuit to determine in equity the rights of American citizens under the award of the Behring sea arbitration at Paris, and to render judgment thereon. Washington, March 5. — Legislation by unanimous consent and under suspension of the rules occupied the attention of the house and resulted in the passage of several bills, some of considerable importance. The adoption of a resolution of inquiry as to whether any criminal prosecutions have been begun against individuals in the Northern Securities company furnished the text for a speech of criticism by Williams, the Democratic leader, directed against the administration. Brief answers were made by Jenkins, of Wisconsin, and Grosvenor, of Ohio. Friday, March 21 Washington, March 2. — The senate today passed the bill providing for the settlement of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes. Under the guise of considering the bill, the senate spent practically the entire day in discussion of the railway question. The bill has passed both the house and the senate, but as the senate amended it in many respects, it will now go into conference. It is a general bill for the adjustment of the affairs of these tribes upon their abandonment of their tribal organization. Washington, March 2. — The first private claim session of the 58th congress occupied the house today, 25 bills being passed. All these measures carried small amounts for the relief of private individuals, who are precluded under the laws from obtaining their rights. Opposition to many of the bills was made by Mann, of Illinois, and Shackleford, of Missouri. This opposition accounted, for the small number of measures considered. Test Vote on Philippines. Washington, March 6. — Senator Lodge, chairman of the committee on Philippines, has decided to make a motion that the senate discharge the committee from further consideration of the tariff bill and it be taken up for consideration. Under the rules a motion of this character is debatable. The senator proposes to make an argument in favor of the bill and ask that action be taken by the senate concerning it. He does not intend, however, to precipate a continuation until after the statehood bill has been disposed of. Topics of the Times Statistics for the year in Russia show a large balance in red.

We have no more to offer them. ‘They must crowd into the cities.” Lord Macaulay sald that the real test of ‘American Institutions would come when this country should be as densely pop- ulated as Europe. As a matter of fact, Lord Macaulay had no reason and James J. Hill has hardly more reason to indulge in pessimistic prophecies of the future of this country.

Do you know that in the commonest things of life we are all slaves to habit—such abject slaves as not even to suspect our slavery? Can you tell, for instance, whether you habitually put on the right shoe or the left shoe first? Can you tell on the Instant which of the two you have habitually taken off all your life? Maybe {t 1s easier for you to realize that you have been using only one side of a certain street. Men and women who walk to thelr business every day for years fall into favorite routes that they follow mechanically. ‘The ordi- nary housewife must have her sugar bowl in a certain spot on a certain shelf or her whole house seems out of order. ‘The meal not ready at the regu- lar time puts the entire famfly in il- temper. These are only a few of the {onumerable little habits that make up nine-tenths of what we call living. Not an impression, not an emotion, not an opinion, not a resolution, not an action 1s possible to us that 1s not influenced, colored and directed by fixed conditions within ourselves—habit of body or mind. You cannot do, or say, or think, cr feel anything without leaving a defl- nite mark on the nervous organism which more or less affects all suc- ceeding action or speech or thought or feeling. Nerve and muscle and brain cell all grow to the modes in which they have been exercised. If you ure not forming habits In one direc- tion you are forming them In another ; all your activities are making channels ‘n which your energy flows toward good or evil. Depravity 1s not an in- heritance, but a character formed by persistent evil habits. Vices, at first Ike cobwebs, become at Inst Ike cables. Habit works elther way with equal force. A generous deed promotes ‘a succession of generous deeds. Virtue sweetens and becomes second nature. Habits are not without thelr advant- tages. Many a man has freely em- ployed his mind in mapping out his day's work while his habit 1s putting en his shoes. ‘There are disadvantages ag well. Many a man has hopefully. planned and nobly striven for high success while his habits were drag- ging him to failure. It Is useless to try to avold forming habits. It cannot be done; and, anyway, mere negative virtue 1s poor stuff. Better all your life full of good habits. “They make character, and character makes destiny, Bad habits are chains holding us as Inlsoners. Good habits are like a well- made harness, enabling us to do our work in the world without friction or waste of eneres. Generous Margin. — ‘The man who likes to look in shop- windows stopped at the sight of a large pitcher in the center of a collection of andirons, pewter portingers, brass can- diesticks and iron skillets. ‘The pitcher was adorned with a head of George Washington, decidedly askew and none too clear. At the side of this treasure stood a placard bearing these words: “One of the fine genuine George Washington pitchers, known to be 140 years old.” Preparing for one of his frequent pleasures, the gentleman stepped Into the antique shop and accosted the deal er. “Now see here,” he said, agreeably “that George Washington piteher is da. ted too far back.

You cannot lead a man to God except you love him. No one can love the Savior without loathing his sins. It takes more than an annual wave of religion to wipe out the reefs of sin. You cannot lead a man to God except you love him. No one can love the Savior without loathing his sins. Heaven-born love makes the higher life. No good work was ever done by accident. Souls are not caught in cobwebs on the brain. It's your life that lifts the prayer of your lips. You don't have to quit trying to begin to trust. The parlor-car church gets hooked on the wrong train. He who has glad news need not be afraid of making a noise. You cannot feed the saints by running the church into a kitchen. Some people buy Bibles for the gilt on them, others for the gold in them. It doesn't matter what kind of gambling you follow. They all lead you down. It is the last resort of weak minds to seek to be interesting through their melancholy. Dewdrops of pity are very pretty, but they evaporate before any thirsty ones get to them. The church usher soon learns to look at a woman's hat before he decides where to seat her. Flerron del Fuego Indians Are Specimens of Perfect Physical Frames. The Onas, a tribe of Indians inhabiting the mainland of the Tierra del Fuego island, are physical giants. Their average height is over 6 feet—a few are $7\frac{1}{2}$ feet, a few fall below 6 feet. The women are more corpulent and not so tall. There is no race in the world with a more perfect physical development than the Ona Indians. This is partly due to the topography of the country and the distribution of game, which makes long marches across the country a necessity. In mentality they fall far below their physical attainments. In the past their supply of game has been plentiful and this may account for the lack of inventive genius among them. This lack of progressive skill is portrayed in their home life, clothing and homes. Their children suffer from it. For, contrary to the practice common among most Indians of feeding, dressing and training the children well, the Onas' little ones are mostly naked, poorly fed and altogether neglected. They have abundant material for supplying themselves with clothing and homes and yet they throw a few branches together, put skins over the windward side and then shiver under the miserable shelter. Scientists who have made a study of the subject say the language of the Onas is the strangest ever listened to. Many of the words are not difficult to pronounce, nor is the construction of the sentences difficult, but every few words are interrupted by a sound which it is impossible to produce. The speaker hacks, coughs and grunts, distorting his face in the most inhuman manner, and then passes on to the next stumbling block. The Onas live principally upon meat, which in former years was obtained from the guanaco. Peril in Diamond Cutting Many people are unaware that a considerable danger menaces the cutters of diamonds in the form of that dreaded malady, lead-poisoning. In the cutting of diamonds the gem to be operated upon is fixed in a "dope," consisting of a hemispherical brass pan at the end of a rod of thick copper wire. The stone can then be set in any desired position relatively to the cutting wheel by bending the copper wire. The cutting wheel or disk, which revolves extremely rapidly, is fed by a polishing medium, consisting of pulverized diamond and olive oil. As the work proceeds the diamond is constantly wiped with the bare hand to clear it of this medium and ascertain how far the cutting process has progressed. The diamond is set in the dope by means of a solder which is an alloy of lead and tin. This is heated, until it is kneadable, when it is pressed into the dope and smoothed by means of the fingers around the projecting diamond, which is thus held firmly in place. One setter handles about 200 dopes every day, and both he and the diamond polisher get numerous particles of lead alloy into their fingers and the palms of their hands, and sooner or later lead-polsoning is apt to result. The government of the Netherlands has offered a prize of 6,000 florins for a medium which shall replace the lead alloy for fixing the diamond in the dope. The medium must be sufficiently cheap to be adopted by the diamond setters and it must fulfill the various conditions of the work. The present alloy, being a good conductor, allows the heat of polishing to be drawn away by the copper rod, whereas an ordinary cement would itself become melted. THE SEATTLE TRANSFER CO.

One Year, payable in advance.....$2.00 BARNES PRESS TRACES MARK COURTNE 26 NEW YORK EDITORIAL The spirit of contest in the local campaign has at last awakened to the fact that the days intervening between this date and the day on which will be held the nominating election are growing rapidly less in number and that there is much work to be done to prepare and present the cases of the hosts of candidates who seek the nomination for important places of public trust and emolument. Especially is this fact noticeable among those who are interested chiefly in the county campaign, for many are the candidates, each one of whom is seeking industriously to convince the dear public that he is the only elect to be elected. One result of the primary law is to bring to the surface many estimable citizens who probably would not have had the courage to present their claims to an ordinary political convention. The question now to be determined, so far as the virtue of the new nominating arrangement is concerned, is, how many of the good aspirants—those who are unquestionably honest, competent and incorruptible—will the people elect as candidates over those who seek coveted places merely as parisans who think their party owes them something or over the mere place-hunters for the graft to be enjoyed in official positions? Of the latter class there are many; and they are generally active in campaign work among those whom they can influence.Theirs,however,is all too frequently a negative campaign; not daring to say much in behalf of themselves, they devote their energies to knocking their opponents. That character of campaign work does not, of course, have weight with intelligent people, nor would any honorable aspirant for office engage in it—but some candidates do, just the same. The knocker is, therefore, the early bird who seeks to catch the unsuspecting campaign worm, in consequence of which the candidate of character is out on the defensive at an earlier date than he possibly would have been under other conditions. The fight for the shrievalty nomination long ago became interesting in the Democratic camp between the friends of two strong candidates; while that for the Republican nomination has only recently assumed an entertaining degree of interest. However it may go in either or both parties, it is already evident that the Republicans cannot afford to lose any ground in this year's contest. For the county judgeship, as also for the commissionership, the contest has become earnest and vigorous. Good men have been proposed and it seems to be a clean, even fight so far. Candidates for legislative honors are numerous and in the list may be found the names of a number of good citizens. For other officers the contests have only begun to assume phases of activity. Altogether an interesting campaign is certain, locally. The fight on the state tickets will not be less so. The candidates for the governorship nomination have long been in the field and have already worked it with a measure of thoroughness. Governor Chamberlain, it may be said, cannot be easily beaten, after the primary nominations. It is conceded already that the only man so far named on the Republican ticket who can win out with a hurrah is Dr. James Withycombe, of Corvallis, who has an impregnable stronghold in almost every county in the state. The First district has a number of Republican aspirants for congressional honors and they have for weeks been engaged in a vigorous, but good-natured, fight for supremacy in the contest for the nomination. A few confident guesses have been made on the possible winners, but it would, up to this hour, be a difficult task to name the candidate who appears to have any especial advantage in the race. DR. WITHYCOMBE, GOVERNOR. There never has been a campaign for the governorship of Oregon conducted in a more cleanly, openly, manly and mannerly way than that which has so far been and is now being conducted by Dr. James Withycombe, of Corvallis. We say campaign for the governorship advisedly, for Dr. Withycombe will surely receive the nomination on the Republican ticket, and as surely be elected. No one can question his method of making known the fact of his candidacy or his manner of seeking the support of those who will elect the next chief executive of this state. He is not a politician in the ordinary signification of that term. He is simply a plain, useful, stalwart citizen, well informed on all matters that pertain to the common interests of the commonwealth and in close touch and sympathy with the needs and desires of the people. For many years Dr. Withycombe has occupied a position of more than ordinary importance in the development of the leading interests of Oregon. As director of agriculture in the Agricultural College at Corvallis he has rendered eminent service to the people of the state; and in that capacity he has become familiar with conditions throughout Oregon, many of which are deplorable in some respects because of official neglect through the governor's office. Most state executives are more political than practical. And right here is where Dr. Withycombe has the advantage over all of his opponents, for he is essentially a practical man. That is the kind of man the people want and need. If Dr. Withycombe were governor of Oregon, not a single interest would be overlooked, even in the remotest county. His would be a practical business administration for the people as a whole. That it would be an economical administration may be judged by the manner in which Dr. Withycombe has handled all of the business with which he has had to deal, both for the public and for himself privately, during a long life of remarkable activity and usefulness. That is why he is so generally popular with the people. They know him. They know his nature and his habits. They know he can be trusted. They are not afraid of him politically, for he will not be prejudiced by party affiliations, notwithstanding the fact that he has done eminent service as a Republican for many years. They know he is honest and practical. They know there will be no sectionalism in the conduct of the business of his office, for he will favor no district to the sacrifice of the interests of another. For all of these estimable qualities the people admire him, believe in him and love him for the man he is. That's what will make him the next governor of Oregon. JOSEPH A. RYAN FOR TREAS URER OF MULTNOMAH COUNTY. It is certainly an indication of the existence of revised and readjusted public sentiment and of renewed development of popular confidence that such men as Mr. Joseph A. Ryan can be induced to stand as a candidate for office at the possible sacrifice of a lucrative place in the conduct of one of the most extensive and important business enterprises in the state. It was the announcement that Mr. Ryan had finally consented to make a campaign for the nomination for the office of treasurer of Multnomah county that created most agreeable surprise and an element of good cheer among his hosts of friends and the party leaders in this city. Mr. Ryan is an uncompromising Republican of the stalwart type, having never failed to contribute his effort and energy to the success of the party, not only in this city and county, but in state campaigns. He has long been a student of political economy, as applied in the affairs of official business, and is a man of firm convictions on questions of public policy and party management. He is essentially THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON a business man, and for that reason is eminently qualified to perform the responsible duties of the office of treasurer of Multnomah county. He is one of the most accurate accountants in the state, as well as one of its most enterprising and reliable citizens. Mr. Ryan has been a resident of this city for the past eighteen years, during which time he has been closely identified with the growth and popularity of one of its greatest enterprises—the Portland General Electric company, with which he has held a prominent place for many years. Sixteen years ago he began service with that company, and has, by diligence, close application to the tasks assigned to him, and most satisfactory performance of duty in every detail, acquired a position therein of great responsibility. In the event of his election, Mr. Ryan promises the people of Multnomah county an honest and economical administration of the affairs of that important office, and impartial service for the common interests of the masses at all times. He has never been influenced by any clique or faction, nor will he yield to such influences as a public official. He is an honest, upright, energetic and progressive American citizen, with all of the rights of sturdy independence that those qualifications imply. If nominated, Mr. Ryan will be elected beyond the peradventure of doubt, and he will make one of the best, safest and most economical treasurers Multnomah county ever had. THEIR PRINCIPLES. A few Democrats have gone through the formality of adopting resolutions and "inviting" certain men to be candidates. The performance was a good deal of a farce, and will be so regarded by men of all parties. The "platform" adopted is well enough, except in its almost interminable verbosity. It couldn't refrain from the "pointing with pride and viewing with alarm" style in vogue in Missouri forty years ago. In fact, it is practically a mosaic stump speech of Governor Chamberlain and Colonel C. E. S. Wood. As such it necessarily has a passing interest, for at times they are fairly good slingers of language. It is, however, not a "platform" any more than what we, or Mr. John Smith, a Democratic friends of ours, might put forth for a platform. Anybody with one-tenth of Senator Pierce's money could hire a hall, make a few "impassioned" speeches, and put forth a "platform" for the Democratic party—or any other old or new party. Really it all amounts to about as much as a soap bubble or a meowing tomcat. The convention, or assemblage, or conference, or conclave—nobody knows what to name the thing—was interesting, however, in the oratory displayed and developed. "Colonel" Wood really made the best speech of his life. "Colonel" Killfeather's language was simply sublime. Mrs. Woodcock was there and added much to the gaiety of the scene. Meanwhile the men who will electe Governor Chamberlain, Senator Gearin, Judge Hailey and other Democrats, if they or any of them shall be elected at all—which is very improbable—are out plowing and clearing and building and developing Oregon, which, after all, is perhaps more important than speechifying. It all amounts to this: State Senator Pierce, Hon. A. D. Stillman and half a dozen or so other nice Democratic gentleman have gotten together and "invited" themselves to run for office. As to Governor Chamberlain, Judge Hailey and Senator Gearin, everybody knew just as well before this meeting as since that they were the choice of the Democrats of Oregon for the positions they hold. And as to any of the other offices—well, the "invited" gentlemen are probably all right, but it's really rather funny. The whole business is a "screaming" farce. A CURIOUS CONCLAVE. A few gentlemen got together Wednesday and issued a stump speech. The speech is wind, and those who made it are windy. The whole thing is vociferous verbiage. The author of it, because he has slightly more brains than Chamberlain, was "Colonel" C. E. S. Wood, not a Democrat, but a cross between a plutocrat and an anarchist. inclining, except in speech, toward plutocracy. The main spokesman was Walter Pierce, who made his stake by standing in with the American Book company and selling the children out when he was county superintendent of Umatilla county. These, along with Fred Holman, gas attorney, and Killfeather, a flannel-mouthed "Mick," are the Democratic party of Oregon. It is a pitiful spectacle, a wondrous monstrosity, in the land! "Judge" Crawford was chairman, or president, or whatever you call it—nobody knew. He wants to be circuit judge. Senator Pierce, who has been filmflamming the people up there for twenty years, wants to be re-elected senator—of course. A Dago wants to be constable. And so on. The only really honest men there were those that didn't say a word, and had no "principles." What are Wood's "principles"? What are Holman's? What are Pierce's? What are Wagnon's? What are Chamberlain's? Not one of them ever did an honest day's work in his long life, and yet these men pretend to be great friends of the working people. They are great—or rather, small—frauds. About the only Democrat in the country is Roosevelt. Pierce is a fraud. Crawford is a fraud. Wood is a fraud. "Colonel" Bob Miller is a fraud. Pat Powers comes nearer being a true man than all of them put together. Gearin is a good man personally, but he cannot be elected. Chamberlain is a foxy talker, but he will be beaten by about 17,000 votes. Halley ought to be elected, but can't be. It's going to be a Republican year, we tell you! PORTLAND CONSOLIDATED RAIL WAY AN IMPERIOUS TYRANT. The Portland Consolidated Railway people, entrenched as they are behind million-dollar franchises through across and upon the streets of this city, for which they have paid nothing, appear finally to have reached the conclusion that they can run over mangle and drag our citizens to death with perfect impunity. In the death of the little Chinese boy, under the cruel wheels of one of this imperious company's cars the other day, we have another striking evidence of the little value they place on human life. Although, in this case, the coroner's jury decided that employees of the Portland Consolidated Railway Co. were not to blame, there are many who saw the tragedy who believe differently. A little more care, a little closer attention to business in a crowded street and a degree more of humanity would frequently save lives of unfortunate people who must imperil their existence by venturing upon the streets traversed by this imperious company's cars. But there is little doubt, judging by the number of fatal "accidents" in this city recently, through the carelessness of that company, that car operatives of the concern have caught the sense of inhuman disregard for the lives of those who travel our municipal highways that seem to dominate the minds of the directors of the corporation, who appear to hold human life as a cheap thing that may be destroyed at every turn of the track without fear of prosecution. The company should be mulcted heavily for this apparently destruction of the lives of people who have as much right to traverse the public streets as have its care, notwithstanding their boasted franchises. ATTORNEY R. G. MORROW FOR CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP. The candidacy of Hon. R. G. Morrow, one of the leading lawyers of the city, for the nomination for the circuit judgeship of Department No. 2 to be filled in this district at the forthcoming election is meeting with enthusiastic favor and encouragement on every hand. Attorney Morrow is a careful, successful, conscientious and popular lawyer, and is abundantly qualified for the responsibilities of the position he has been induced to seek. His extensive legal knowledge and ability eminently fit him for service as a jurist, in which capacity he would serve with dignity, impartiality and economy. These are qualifications to be reckoned with most carefully in the selection of a judge, however humble or exalted his official position may be. Attorney Morrow has enjoyed extensive experience in the courts, from the lowest to the highest. He is held in high esteem by all members of the bar and the judiciary. His practice has been clean and honorable and in it he has attained eminence for his fairness and for impartial consideration of all legal matters with which he has had to deal. Moreover, Mr. Morrow is just at the age to do the best work of his life, and he has superb health to carry him through. Hon. R. G. Morrow would make an ideal circuit judge; and a vote for his nomination will be a vote in the interest of all concerned in an honorable and just judiciary. E. R. GILTNER FOR COUNTY JUDGE. The office of judge of Multnomah county is a very important official place. It is especially important to those who pay taxes; but every voter in the county, whether he be a property owner or not, is interested in the selection of a man on whom the people can rely in any and all emergencies. It is an office which may have much to do with the general tendency to squander the people's money; and it may be as easily made a place from which the people's interests may be carefully safeguarded. The candidacy of Hon. R. R. Giltner, a prominent lawyer of Portland, is meeting with earnest and enthusiastic approval throughout the county. Having been a citizen of prominence here for so many years, the people know what kind of an official he will make, if elected. They admire his sturdy manhood and have confidence in his ability. Attorney Giltner is no doubt the strongest candidate named as an aspirant for that position. He is very popular with all who know him—and that means the greater part of the voting population of Multnomah county. He is entirely free from all political entaglements and will serve all of the interests of the people of the county without fear or hope of special favor. He is willing to wait for his reward until the people shall say: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." MR. WILLIS FOR COUNTY COM MISSIONER. The candidacy of Mr. W. E. Willis for the Republican nomination to be county commissioner is progressing very satisfactorily and is being received in every part of Multnomah county with enthusiasm. In the character and personnel of the county commissioners' court the farmers are primarily interested. If the commissioners do their official duty with fairness and intelligent economy, the tax burden on the farmers will be less onerous than it usually is. Therefore, they are interesting themselves as never before in that feature of the forthcoming election. Mr. Willis is one of the stalwart citizens of the county and is deeply interested in its progress in every material way. He was born in this state 49 years ago. In fact, all of his family are native Oregonians. He would make an excellent county commissioner, and at this time there seems to be little doubt of his nomination. The selection of Mr. Willis to represent Multnomah county in the commissioners' court would mean much to those who need good roads and necessary bridges, and who want them delivered without the usual graft and contractors' perquisites. A vote for W. E. Willis will be a vote for economy in county expenses and for faithful performance of official duty. WRIGHTMAN IS RIGHT. The people have begun to hurrah S for the candidacy of Hon. Frank T. fried Wrightman for the nomination for Don secretary of state on the Republican -e ticket. They know that Wrightman is doe right. They know that he is honorable, capable, industrious and honest. They know, too, that he is peculiarly fitted by education and experience for the efficient performance of the duties of that important office. Besides having a personal advantage over his opponents, Mr. Wrightman's geographical situation commends his candidacy. That nomination should go to Marion county—first, because of the political geography of the location, and, second, because Hon. Frank T. Wrightman lives there and is the best man yet named for the office. Mr. Wrightman is an able, thorough-going, practical, popular gentleman. He is well known throughout the state and enjoys the confidence of hosts of friends in every county who are working industriously for his success because they know he deserves it. He is an able attorney-at-law, a close observer, an industrious, conscientious business man and has proved hmself to be a faithful public official, worthy of the honor of any position of trust to which he may aspire. He will undoubtedly receive the nomination, in which event his election will follow by a Rooseveltian majority. THE LESSON OF IT. The press of the United States unite in condemnation of the Springfield riots. But just such an outbreak is possible here in Indianapolis, and there is only one thing that will prevent it whenever a cowardly or inefficient police department coincides with an act of negro lawlessness. That sole preventive is a growth of public sentiment which will discredit and discourage race prepjudice such as Springfield has just displayed. Men and women of clean minds and moral courage must summon up the resolution to disapprove incendiary utterances against the negro. This is a hard and distasteful undertaking, but it is necessary to keep us from disgrace. The law for black and white is the right thing, and the imperative thing. Do not give your adherence, even by silence, to the vindictive and irresponsible talk that condones mob violence to the black man.—Indianapolis Star. Why possible? Yes, you should "summon up courage," but a different kind of courage—the "courage" to know that— "A man's a man For a' that, and a' that." And, by the way, a woman's a woman, too, "For a' that." And the color of the hide doesn't count for much. It's the soul that weighs with God! RAILROAD ATTORNEYS. There is a great deal of talk in the daily papers about letting the Portland & Seattle railroad in, but the fact is, as everybody knows who has examined the subject, the project is blocked in the courts. Judge Frazer has practically decided in favor of the dog-in-the-manger company; the case may go to the supreme court; it may hang fire for one, two, three, five or ten years; simply because the judges give too much heed and leeway to corporation attorneys. Portland never had such deadly enemies "in its midst" as W. W. Cotton and W. D. Fenton. Will we get the Portland & Seattle road? No. Not for a long time. Why? Because of the sacred vested rights of some railroad attorneys. Those gentlemen deserve great deal larger salaries. They owe the public about a million now. BOURNE FOR SENATOR. Is Mr. Jonathan Bourne a candidate for United States senator? It is so announced and alleged in various newspapers of this city and state. If so, "it is to laugh." Mr. Bourne is as fit for United States senator as our housecat is for a priest! Some papers seem to take our friend Jonathan's candidacy seriously. Don't. Nobody who knows him does—except himself—and perhaps he doesn't. He is considerable of a token Office, 48% Second St., cor. Ash, Rooms 1 and 2, Portland, Oregon.

Mrs. Mary Anderson, who had been sick at St. Joseph's hospital for three months' died last Thursday and was buried last Sunday. Mrs. Ury and Mrs. H. P. Lawhorn made a flying trip to Seattle to attend the funeral of Mr. Bailey, who was stabbed last week at his work at the Seattle hotel. Miss Effle Williams, Blanche Rucker, Georgia Wilson, Laura Christma, Della Tanner, Mrs. Estella Gibson, Jr., and Miss Mabel Walker attended the Seattle fair last week. Mr. H. P. Lawhorn, Mrs. Lawrence Sledge, Miss Mabel Walker, Miss Laura Christma and Miss Effle Williams were the five delegates of Tacoma Sunday schools who attended the convention at Seattle last week. The young men who gave the dance last Monday night had a large crowd. The Seattle people turned out en masse. This being the young men's first time of giving a dance, and having such a success, they said they would give another one in the near future. OUR CHICAGO LETTER Chicago, Feb. 27, 1906. Lawyer E. H. Morris' mother is on the sick list. Thomas Dixon, alderman of the Second ward, will be overwhelmingly defeated. Mrs. C. A. Curl, of 2935 Armour avenue, has gone to New Orleans, La., on a visit. Mr. Richard Webb, of 2640 State street, has offered his place of business for sale. Mrs. J. H. Schreeves, who has been very ill for some time in St. Luke's hospital, is now much improved. It is reported that a new club is to be organized, which is composed of a number of prominent colored men. They will soon buy a building of their own. The most prominent colored man in Glencoe, a suburban village of Chicago, is Mr. Homer A. Wilson. Mr. Wilson conducts and owns a large laundry business. There is some talk of the people urging and presenting Rev. Dr. D. P. Roberts, the present pastor of Quinn's chapel, as a candidate for bishop at the next general conference of the A. M. E. church. Dr. W. E. Mackay, whose office is on the corner of Thirty-second and State streets, is making a great name for himself in the medical profession. He is recognized as being one of the very best doctors in the city. Any man who is a candidate for office in the city of Chicago, and who has the endorsement and recommendation of the Legislative Voters' League of Chicago, ought to be beat for office and defeated under any and all circumstances. The Dunbair Memorial that was held at the Douglas Center, 3032 Wabash avenue in honor of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, was a splendid success, and was largely attended. Addresses were made by Mrs. Laura Dainty Pelham and Mr. W. H. A. Moore. There was a meeting of the executive committee of the A. M. E. Church association that was lately organized in this city. Mr. Eugene Fields presided and made a forceful and brilliant address to the organization, pointing out the great work and the great necessity of such a national organization as that among the people. A special session of the Imperial Grand Council of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America was held in this city last Monday. There was organized the Union Masonic Benefit Association of the United States. The following officers were elected: Mr. C. R. France, of Pittsburg, Pa., president; Mr. D. R. Young, first vicepresident, Oakland, Cal.; Mr. T. W. Ashford, second vicepresident, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Mr. F. W. Wright third vicepresident, Wheeling, W. Va.; Mr. J. C. White, secretary, Boston, Mass.; Mr. Stewart Campbell, treasurer, Washington, D. C. All Master Masons, members of the Order of Daughters of Sphinx and members of the chapters of the Eastern Star and courts of Heriones of Jericho are eligible to be members of this benefit association. JARVIS DECLINES OFFICE. Alaska Governorship Lies Between Hoggatt, Perkins and Clum. Washington, March 5.—D. H. Jarvis, ex-captain in the Revenue Cutter service and now engaged in business in Seattle and Alaska, today informed the president that, owing to a business agreement he would be unable to accept the governorship of Alaska, recently tendered him. The president expressed considerable regret that Captain Jarvis found it impossible to take the office, for he assured him that he had every confidence that he would give Alaska a splendid administration and insure to every man a "square deal." Since Governor Brady resigned, prominent persons from all parts of Alaska have been clamoring for the appointment of Captain Jarvis and, were he not tied up in business, he would be delighted to accept the office; but under the circumstances, the president said he would abide by his decision. The race probably now lies between W. B. Hoggett, of Juneau; W. T. Perkins, of Seattle and Nome, and John H. Clum, recently appointed postmaster of Fairbanks. MANY FISHERMEN LOST. Storm Off Norwegian Coast Sacrifices Hundreds of Lives. Christiania, Norway, March 5. Several steamers which were dispatched to the Jaest and Ingerna islands from Trondhjem to the assistance of the fishing fleet which met with disaster in a violent storm, have returned, and vessels which have arrived at Trondhjem report that large numbers of the fleet have been seen floating, keel upward. Much general wreckage has also been sighted. The crews of the boats comprising the fishing fleet number from 1,200 to 1,400 men. Altogether 79 fishing boats with their crews have thus far reached different points of Flatanger and Rooivik islands and large numbers are also arriving at Gjaeslingern island, so it is hoped that the loss will not turn out to be so bad as at first feared. Three steamers are searching for the missing fishermen. The district magistrate, in reply to a telegraphic inquiry from the department of Justice, says that immediate public assistance is necessary for the relief of the sufferers. Conference on Alaska Roads Washington, March 5. — Two conferences were held at the white house today regarding railroad construction in Alaska, in which the president is manifesting great interest. In conference with the president at different times were Representative Hamilton, of Michigan, chairman of the house committee on territories, and Senator Burnham, of New Hampshire, a member of the senate committee on territories. Mr. Hamilton is not favorable to the proposition that the government lend financial assistance. Pressure Applied at Berlin. Vienna, March 5. — Diplomats here regard the situation at Algeciras as more favorable. It was stated authoritatively today that Austria-Hungary, Russia and the United States made strong representations to Berlin, in consequence of which Prince von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, appears to have adopted a more conciliatory attitude, and is inclined to entertain France's proposals. Window Glass Prices Higher. Cleveland, March 5. — The American Window Glass company, it was announced here today, has decided upon another raise of 5 per cent in the price of window glass. Several smaller manufacturers have taken similar action. "THE MILWAUKEE." "Pioneer Limited." St. Paul to Chicago; "Overland Limited." Omaha to Chicago; "Southwest Limited." Kansas City to Chicago.

THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON | @LD 4} Favorites Hymn to the Night. T heard the trailing garments of the Night Sweep through her marble halls! I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light From, the celestial walls! I felt her presence, by Its spell of might Btoop o'er me from above; The calm, majestic presence of the Night, As of the one I love. I heard the sounds of sorrow and delight The manifold, soft chimes, ‘That fill the haunted chambers of the Night, Like some old poet's rhymes. From the cool cisterns of the midnight als My spirit drank repose ; The fountain of perpetual pence flows there— From those deep cisterns flows, © holy Night! from thee I learn to bear What man has borne before! Thou layest thy finger on the lips of Care, And they complain no more. Peace! Peace! Orestes-like I breathe this prayer! Descend with brond-winged flight, The welcome, the thrice-prayed-for, the most fair, ‘The best-beloved Night! —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. ‘The Height of the Ridtcutous, I wrote some lines once on a time In wondrous merry mood, ‘And thought, as usual, men would say ‘They were exceeding good. They were so queer, so very queer, T laughed as I would die; Albeit, in the general way, A sober man am I, T called my servant, and he came; How kind it was of him, To mind a slender man like me, He of the mighty limb! “These to the printer,” I exclaimed, And, In my humorous way, I added (as a trifling jest), “There'll be the devil to pay.” He took the paper, and I watched, And saw him peep within; At the first line he read, his face Was all upon the grin. He read the next; the grin grew broad, And shot from ear to ear; He read the third, a chuckling noise I now began to hear, The fourth, he broke into a roar; ‘The fifth, his waistband split; The sixth, he burst five buttons off ‘And tumbled in a fit. Ten days and nights, with sleepless eye, I watched that wretched man, And since I never dare to write As fanny as I can. —Oliver Wendell Holmes, TOKIO’S DAILY NEWSPAPERS. Many Little District Publications, Reminding One of Paris. ‘There are thirty dally newspapers In Tokio, some of them confined mainly to the particular district $1 which they ‘are published, says the Atchison Globe. ‘This ts like Paris again—I insist that ‘the Japanese are much nike the French Vben a newsboy appears with an ex- tra he excites attention by tying a bell to his feet, and this clatters when he runs along. Many of these extras are printed on ‘one s¥le of a sheet no larger than the Globe was when it originally appeared. I visited a newspaper office located on prominent corner. The entrance, which was rather ornate, was cluttered up with Ink barrels.

OLD WORLD NOTABLES King Edward recently presented the King of Norway with a magnificent pair of carriage horses. M. Fallieres, the new President of France, is noted for his devotion to a simple country life. Sir Walter Gilbey bears the reputation of being one of the greatest living authorities on all kinds of sports. Sir George Rose, a former English master in chancery, was a famous wit. On one occasion he said to a jury: "Do you not see, gentlemen, that my lord before trying my client has tried a joke and reserved the point?" The Czar of Russia, who is considerably below the average height of men, is fully a head shorter than his beautiful and majestic Czarina. Pope Pius is said to be the first pontiff of the Roman Catholic church to indulge: in cigars, his predecessors, notably Pius IX. and Leo XIII, having contented themselves with snuff. The youngest king in the world is Dsudi Chua of Uganda, Africa, a protectorate of England. He is now about 8 and holds court seated on a scarlet throne with a leopard skin under his feet and bearing in his hand a toy gun.

Mountains, lakes, the Sound and the city itself form one magnificent panorama not found anywhere else on earth. 9th—The hotel lobby, parlors, Turkish room, etc., are exquisite, and form a continuation of comfort and luxury not often found in hotels. 10th—A Dutch grill has recently been added, where service may be had at all hours. 11th—The dining room cannot be excelled. Breakfast and lunch are served a la carte, at most reasonable prices, and a table d'hote dinner for $1.00 is pronounced by all to be above criticism. 12th—Rates—Extremely reasonable.

The Washington stands alone as the most charming and attractive hotel west of New York. The following people have stopped at the Washington during the past year and have given unstated praise and declared that in many respects it excels any other hotel on the continent: President Theodore Roosevelt, Wm.

Atlas Engines Many prospective purchasers of engines and buses are under the impression that because the Atlas is a high grade, and because it is fitted with a balance valve and a main bearing, such as only Coryline engines of the makes, it is not a good price that is quite out of their reach.

The Kind You Have THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON AN ELEVATOR TRUST United States Attorney Starts a Suit in California. ONLY THREE INDEPENDENT FIRMS People West of Rocky Mountains Are Charged Exorbitant Prices by Bogus Bidding. Washington, March 8. — On advices that Federal suit was filed in San Francisco today against 31 elevator concerns, including the Otis elevator company, on the charge of violating the antitrust law, Attorney General Moody made the following statement tonight: "The United States attorney for the Northern district of California, under instructions from the attorney general, filed in the United States Circuit court for the Ninth district a bill of complaint against the Otis Elevator company and 27 other companies and three individuals engaged in the elevator business, charging them with violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The companies named as defendants comprise the principal elevator companies of the United States, but the operations specifically complained of have been carried on mainly in California and the states and territories west of the Rocky mountains. "It is charged that these companies make and sell at least 80 per cent of all of the elevators used in that territory, and that they have entered into a combination among themselves to control and enhance the prices at which elevators are sold; that, in order to make the combination effective, the Otis Elevator company has acquired the whole or a majority interest in the businesses of all the other defendants, although said defendants are said to be operating as apparently separate and independent concerns; that, when an inquiry is received from a customer by any of the defendants, it is immediately referred to the Otis Elevator company, and, if there is no outside competition, that company designates the concern which is to get the business, fixes an excessive and exorbitant price to be charged and directs the other companies to submit bids, apparently in good faith, but higher than the bid of the company which has been designated to receive the contract; if outside competition does appear, one of these subsidiary companies is directed to take the contract at a loss, in order to freeze out the competitors." The bill also alleges that there are only three elevator companies not in the combination carrying on business west of the Rocky mountains. JAPANESE ARMY INTACT. Still Holds Manchuria, Says General Linievitch. Tsarskoe Selo, March 8 — General Linievitch's report regarding the future of Russia in the Far East is pessimistic. He says the Japanese forces in Manchuria are intact and liable to open hostilities at any time. They argue that many breaches of faith on the part of the Russians invalidate the peace treaty and give them a right to make additional demands. The general says the disaffection in the army is not serious, but the administration is bad. He advises that the Siberian railroad be turned over to a private company, that the investigation directed against military chiefs be dropped, that soldiers be treated with liberality, and that a strong garrison be maintained in Manchuria. The czar is said to have agreed with the views expressed by Linievitch. All the defeated generals will be given lucrative positions. In the Amur region the Cossack land system will be introduced, and the land will be distributed among the soldiers who remain in military service. The immigration of Russian peasants will be assisted with subsidies, and thus Manchuria will be Russified. Comparison of Rival Navies Paris, March 8.—In the chamber of deputies today Minister of Marine Thomson, supporting the naval budget, compared the French and German navies, saying: "Although the composition of our squadrons is not perfect, our armament is superior to Germany's. We have 190 heavy, 296 medium and 783 small naval guns more than Germany. Two new battleships will be ready next year and four a year after, as well as a number of cruisers, torpedo boats and submarine craft." Justice Brown to Resign Washington, March 8. — Associate Justice Henry Billings Brown, of the United States Supreme court, intends to retire from the bench, and has so notified President Roosevelt. The president desired to appoint Senator Philander C. Knox, of Pennsylvania, to the vacancy, but the latter declined. Justice Brown was 70 years old on March 2. He will serve through the present term of court and will probably retire in the fall. Insurance Bill Passed in Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky., March 8. — The house today by unanimous vote passed a bill providing for an annual accounting and distribution of profits of all life insurance companies doing business in Kentucky. ... WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self medication Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

RHEUMATISM No other bodily suffering is equal to that produced by the pain of Rheumatism. When the poisons and acids, which cause this disease, become intrenched in the blood there is hardly any part of the body that is not affected. The muscles become sore and drawn, the nerves twitch and sting, the joints inflame and swell, the bones ache, every movement is one of agony, and the entire body is racked with pain. Rheumatism is brought on by indigestion, stomach troubles, torpid Liver, weak Kidneys and a general inactive state of the system. The refuse matter instead of passing off through nature's avenues is left to sour and form uric acid, and other acrid poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Rheumatism does not affect with health-giving properties, it fills them with the acids and salts of this painful and far-reaching disease. The cold and dampness of Winter always intensify the pains of Rheumatism, and the sufferer to get relief from the agony, rubs the affected parts with liniments, oils, lotions, etc., or uses plasters and other home remedies. These are desirable because they give temporary ease and comfort but have no effect on the real trouble which is in the blood and beyond the reach of such treatment. S. S.

In some cases it takes a wandering form; it may be in the arms or legs one day and in the shoulders, feet, hands, back or other parts of the body the next. Others suffer more seriously, and are never free from pain. The uric acid and other irritating substances find lodgment in the muscles and joints and as these deposits increase the muscles become stiff and the joints locked and immovable. It matters not in what form the disease may be the cause is always the same—a sour, acid condition of the blood.
