NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Rival factions in Russia are brewing a revolution. Many Chinese are being smuggled onto the canal zone. Russia is sending hundreds of political prisoners to Siberia. An American woman will climb the highest peak in the Andes. The Denver city election contest may be carried to the federal courts. Opponents of Smoot are seeking to drag Roosevelt into this quarrel. The union of the Cumberland and Presbyterian churches has been completed. Many gala day festivities have been arranged in Spain in connection with the wedding of King Alfonso. Great Britain denies that an agreement exists with Russia affecting Persia, Thibet and Afghanistan. Two young natives of India have entered the Oregon Agricultural college to study American scientific farming. Chairman Tawney of the house appropriation committee, believes a large majority of the house favors a lock canal. There is a rumored alliance of Russia, Austria and Germany. Forest reserve states are to get a share of the timber revenue. The movement to expel Smoot from the senate has been abandoned for this session. The pope is greatly improved. He laughs at the idea of his life being endangered. More bodies are being found by laborers clearing away the debris in San Francisco. Three Turks have been arrested on suspicion of having murdered Consul Stuart in Russia. San Francisco banks have opened for business and are receiving more money than they pay out. The injunction against the union of the Cumberland with the old Presbyterian church has been denied. Louisiana doctors claim to have found a cure for leprosy, having cured three sufferers from the dread disease. George F. Baer, president of the Reading road, says there is no grafting among the officials of his line, as they are above such things. Miss Nance O'Neill, the actress, has become bankrupt through the San Francisco disaster. She lost all her scenery, costumes and stage effects. Torrents of mud from Vesuvius are causing death and panic. Marines are being rushed to Panama to avert a revolution at the time of the general election, June 20. The senate bill incorporating the Archaeological Institute of America has been passed by the house. Estimates have been made for continuing work on the Panama canal to June 30, 1907. The total amount is $26,348,231. S. A. D. Puter, wanted in Portland in connection with the Oregon land fraud cases, has been captured in Alameda, a suburb of San Francisco. Four more bodies have been found in the debris at San Francisco by workmen clearing away the ruins. The coroner places the total number of dead at 395. W. H. Stuart, United States viceconsul at Batonn, Trans Caucasia, has been killed by unknown assassins. The case is being investigated by Ambassador Meyer. It is said the military court which has been investigating the surrender of Port Arthur and the battle of the Sea of Japan has condemned to death Eientenant General Stoessel and Rear Admiral Nebogato. Senator Heyburn is slightly improved. Women of England are working for suffrage. Madrid is making great preparations for the royal wedding. Vesuvius is pouring a torrent of mud on the nearby villages. A prompt agreement on the rate bill is likely by the two houses of congress. It is now believed that Mrs. Jefferson Davis may recover. New Age British Fear That Another Great War May Come in South Africa. Pretoria, May 25.—The garrison here has been ordered to prepare to take the field, and it is understood that similar orders have been sent to every commandant of British troops in South Africa The situation in Natal is growing more and more serious daily and advices received from the troops that are operating against Bambata show that he is receiving reinforcements from nearly every tribe in Zululand. Arms and ammunition are also being sent to him, and all efforts of the colonial authorities to put a stop to this traffic have proved futile. Zulu spies are everywhere and are apparently able to keep the leaders posted as to field plans, as no sooner is a trap set for the rebels than they escape from it. They have also captured several convoys. The fact that the colonial troops have been unable to make any headway against the rebels, and that British regulars are to be called on, indicates how serious the situation is. The authorities are hardly in a position at present to enter into a great Zulu war, and it is understood that they will bend every effort to crush Bambata within the next few days. All the regular troops that can be spared are to take the field against him, while the colonials will act with them and will also try to prevent any other Zulu tribes from reaching Bambata until he can be crushed. ADMIT THEY GOT REBATES. Favored Merchants Testify Against Burlington Road. Kansas City, May 25. - Testimony of unusual interest was brought out this afternoon in the United States court in the trial of George H. Crosby, traffic manager of the Burlington railway; George L. Thomas, of New York, a freight broker, and L. B. Taggart, his clerk, on a charge of conspiracy in rebating railroad rates. The principal witnesses were George A. Barton, of Barton Brothers' Shoe Company; George W. Taylor, of Robert Keith Furniture Company; E. W. Freeschlag of the Freeschlag Mercantile Company, all of this city, and Walter Kelby, of New York, clerk in 1804 and 1805 for Thomas. The testimony showed that the firms mentioned received large sums of money from mysterious sources after freight bills had been paid; sometimes in express packages, always from New York, but none knew who sent it. On the stand Freeschlag frankly referred to an agreement with Thomas whereby his firm was to receive 25 per cent rebates on freight bills, and told how the money was deposited in New York to the firm's credit by one Jacksen, whom he did not know. He could not remember whether he or Thomas had suggested the use of the name. At first he said that the idea was his, but on cross-examination he changed and said that he could not remember. He admitted that the name was used to hide "this business," a term all the witnesses today employed. EAQTHQUAKE WRECKS CITY. Immense Loss of Life at Unianka, Mongolia. Victoria, B. C., May 25. — Mail advice from the Orient state that an earthquake causing great loss of life and considerable damage to property occurred at the beginning of May at Uniankai and vicinity, in Mongolia. The Pekin Times reports that a chasm several feet wide was caused by the earthquake. The walled city of Uniankai was almost completely destroyed, the loss of life being very heavy. Officials at Pekia had received news that the calamity was of exceptional severity and arrangements were being made for the relief of the people in distress. Severe shocks are also reported from Fokien province of China, the most disastrous in Chuen Chon prefecture, where many buildings were destroyed; the loss of life was unknown. Metcalf Gives Evidence. Washington, May 25. — Secretary Metcalf, complying with a resolution of the call, has sent to that body a long report from Commissioner General Sargent, of the Immigration bureau, giving the history of the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law. The last chapter deals with the Chinese boycott of American goods and reproduces official proclamations of Chinese officials, which, despite assertions to the contrary, show that the Chinese government is at least not discouraging the boycott. Hermann's Trial in June. Washington, May 25.—The trial of Representative Hermann is now scheduled to take place in this city between June 5 and 10, unless some unforeseen obstacle should arise. Francis J. Heney has notified District Attorney Baker that he will come back to Washington to conduct the prosecution. It is probable the case will be disposed of in three or four days. STOCK FREE OF COST STOCK FREE OF COST Pennsylvania Railroad Officials Acquire Coal Holdings. COMMISSION MAKES DISCOVERY Stock Paid for by Granting Rates and Discrimination in Distribution of Cars. Philadelphia, May 24.—Further revelations concerning stockholdings in soft coal mining companies by officials of the Pennsylvania railroad were made today when the Interstate Commerce commission resumed its investigation into alleged discrimination by railroads in the distribution of cars. Three high officials of the railroad service, Vice-President John P. Green, Third Vice-President Samuel Rea and William A. Patton, assistant to the president at Philadelphia, were the important witnesses of the day. Mr. Patton was under examination the greater part of the morning and was an unwilling witness. The persistent questioning of Mr. Glasgow, attorney for the commission, however, brought out the fact that he had acquired stock, the par value of which is $307,000, in various coal companies without cost. He explained, however, that he had signed notes obligating himself for his share of the losses and declared his belief that it was proper for him to accept the stock under these conditions. Mr. Rea read a statement to the commission, in which he explained all of his stock transactions, stating that he did not believe he was debarred from ownership because of his connection with the railroad company. Mr. Rea said that most of his stock was acquired through his associations with land purchasing syndicates, which took up the coal properties for development. Mr. Green said that 20 or 30 years ago it was not considered improper for an official of the road to own coal company stock, but that conditions had changed and such holdings might not now be regarded in the same light as formerly. He informed the commission that the board of directors of the Pennsylvania railroad, acting upon the information that had been brought out at the hearings, had today appointed a committee of five directors to make an investigation into the connection of its officers with coal companies. Mr. Green said he did not own a dollar's worth of coal company stock. Other witnesses testified to stock ownership and discrimination in the distribution of cars. MAY CLASH ON CANAL. Probable Disagreement Between Two Houses on Question. Washington, May 24.—A growing sentiment in the senate in favor of making the proposed canal appropriation applicable only to the construction of a sea level canal across the Isthmus of Panama in accordance with the majority report of the senate committee on interoceanic canals is proving embarrassing to the administration, which is committed to the lock type. President Roosevelt today discussed the subject with senate leaders who called at the White House, and apparently he is much concerned as to the outcome. As the result of the president's inquiry, an attempt will be made today to ascertain how the senate stands on the question of canal type. There were too many absentees to make an effective poll, but it was learned that several senators who had been counted upon to support the administration program will vote for a sea level canal. Secretary Taft has informed the senate that, if the type of canal is not determined by congress, the president will not hesitate to proceed with the plans for a lock canal recommended by the minority of the board of consulting engineers. Shall Moody Prosecute? Washington, May 24.—An important conference was held at the White House late this afternoon, participated in by the president, Attorney General Moody and James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations. It is understood that, in connection with some features of the recent report on the oil industry by Mr. Garfield, the question considered was whether a legal remedy is to be applied or whether the rate bill now pending, when finally passed, will not furnish a remedy for some of the matters complained of. New Dominican Revolt. Washington, May 24.—News of another outbreak in Santo Domingo reached here today from a senior naval officer on that station, to the following effect: "News has been received of an insurrection at Macoris, Santo Domingo, in which prisoners were released, the rebels withdrawing. No American interests endangered." NO. 5. FAIRBANKS CITY BURNED. Largest Town in Alaska Suffers Heavy Loss, Including Foodstuffs Fairbanks, Alaska, May 22.—Fire has broken out here and is threatening the town with destruction. The Washington-Alaska bank is burned. The flames have crossed First and Second avenues, and are rushing up Cushman street with great speed. The National bank is doomed. Nothing can save the town. Seattle, May 22.—A special to the Post-Intelligencer tonight states that the entire business section of the town of Fairbanks, Alaska, was destroyed by a fire which started in the Fairbanks building, a three-story frame structure, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Details of the disaster are very meager, but it is feared that the food supply of the town has been destroyed and great suffering may result. Nothing was left standing in the section lying between the water front and Third avenue and Stacey and Turner streets. The work of the fire fighters was centered on the block of warehouses owned by the Northern Commercial company, in order to protect the food supply of the town, and the result is still in doubt. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000, and it is announced that the heaviest interests of the town are already preparing to rebuild. No lives were lost. Fairbanks is a mining town on the banks of the Tanana river in Alaska. It is the entrepot for the miners in the great Tanana section, one of the richest gold-producing regions in the great country in the north that was bought from Russia by the United States. The output of the Tanana mines has been enormous, and the town has lately assumed the proportions of a city, being credited with a population of about 15,-000. WILL AGREE ON STATEHOOD. Conferees Will Recommend Foraker's Original Plan. Washington, May 23. — An agreement on the statehood bill will be embodied in a conference report which will be reached this week, according to information today. What the terms of this agreement will not be cannot be stated with preciseness, as the report has not yet been drafted. The plans which seem to be acceptable to both sides, however, are: That Oklahoma and Indian Territory shall be admitted as one state at once; that Arizona and New Mexico shall be allowed to vote separately on the question of being joined in one state; that the vote shall be cast at a regular territorial election, when officers of the territories are voted for. The proposition is generally known as the Foraker amendment of a year ago. MORE ABOUT STANDARD OIL. Garfield Preparing Further Sections of Report on Methods. Washington, May 23.—Commissioner of Corporations James R. Garfield stated today that he would submit to the president further information on the result of his investigation of the oil industry. It has not yet been determined, however, whether this will be in one single report or several separate reports. The report recently submitted to congress covered the question of transportation and freight rates, and Mr. Garfield is now engaged in preparing reports on the production and refining of oil, the control of pipe lines, organization, foreign trade and conditions and competitive methods. The data for the first four has practically all been received, and the report on competitive methods is well under way. Mr. Garfield said he did not believe he would be able to submit to the president any of these reports before the adjournment of congress. Readjust Philippine Coinage. Washington, May 23.—Senator Lodge today introduced a bill at the request of Secretary Taft for a readjustment of the ratio of the Philippine coinage and for an increase in the elasticity of the present system. The bill is framed upon the recommendations of the Philippine commission contained in the annual report and in brief authorizes the commission, with the consent of the president, to change the weight and fineness of the silver peso and to recoin the existing peso so as to adjust it to the change. Japanese Send $30,000 More. Washington, May 23. —The American National Red Cross received $30,000 today from the Japanese Red Cross for the relief of the San Francisco earthquake sufferers. This brings the total Japanese Red Cross contribution to $80,000. Every man wants a square deal in life. Also a good deal. If the coal strike should be protracted, many a cellar will contain a has bin. "Wealth lessens happiness,' says Mr. Carnegie. How'll you swap, Mr. Carnegie? Pity the poor little illegal child that had nothing to say about it and is in no wise to blame. Mr. Rockefeller may not be as popular as Mr. Carnegie, but his name is spelled more phonetically, anyhow. Booker Washington's Tuskegee Institute gets endowments, half a million at a time. Booker is a wonderful money-raiser. 3. Pierpont Morgan now eats but one meal a day. In the opinion of Russell Sage he has at last reached years of discretion. That Brooklyn banker who has for years maintained two complete family establishments must have had a great fondness for home life. The Moros are reported to have shielded themselves behind their children. If they had believed in race suicide they couldn't have done that. Who says romance is dead, when the son of a Central American President is willing to move two or three nations to marry the little Washington girl he loves? President Castro has resigned temporarily, ostensibly on account of his health, but undoubtedly because the Venezuelan lid was getting too hot for comfort. A certain comedian is said to have forgotten a little investment that has netted him $56,000. No one save a real humorist could do such a screamingly funny thing. Mr. Carnegie strenuously insists that he was merely the kissee, but as the woman in the case testifies that his kiss "left nothing to be desired" he must have responded satisfactorily. Somebody has written a book on "The Art of Investing in Wall Street." He has probably produced it in the hope that he may be able to make a little much-needed money out of it. --- The czar has sent word to the peasants that he is too busy to receive any more of their delegations. The time may not be far away when the peasants will be too busy to receive the czar. The Secretary of Agriculture gives out the pleasing assurance that there will be no more crop failures in the United States. He will be getting himself disliked by the bulls in some of the market places if he isn't careful. Emperor William told some sculptors not long ago that he had tried on suits of ancient armor, and had found that it was a mistake to think that the heroes of old were as big as the men of to-day. As' one considers the evidences of a higher present civilization, there is reason to think that the minds as well as the bodies have expanded. It is a wearful task, that of the statesman. Directing the affairs of a critical people is indeed a dreadful job. For your statesman is forced to shift, to trim, to sidestep, to carry water on both shoulders. Even in absolute countries the statesman's job is difficult. In republics it is gradually growing to be awful. It is not only the shifty and double-dealing statesman who finds his job difficult. He at least has only the people to reckon with and not his own conscience. But the conscientious statesman must find his job awful. "A bad second best," said John Morley, the experienced statesman, "is the very best obtainable in politics." If popular government in Russia is to meet with even moderate success it will be necessary for that country to put every dollar it can raise for a good many years into educational facilities. Of the 126,000,000 of people in the empire 90,000,000 are unable to read. According to official statistics the number of persons in schools of all grades in Russia is 1,350,000. It takes a good deal of energy and struggle in America to keep our public affairs going as they should go and many costly mistakes are made. Yet in this country, with a population of two-thirds that of Russia, we have over 13,000,000 of our children and young people in schools, ten times as many as Russia, and only 6,000,000 of our people, ten per cent, are illiterate, as compared with the 99,000,000 or 80 per cent, of Russians. "Boosting" is a slang word that fits admirably into American speech. There is no other that quite conveys the meaning. The word "jolly" is another bit of colloquialism useful in its way. But there is a wide difference between a jolly and a boost. To jolly is to flatter. To boost is to put forth a sincere effort. The joller uses his lips only. The booster acts from the heart. The latter is sincere. He believes, therefore he boosts. He has a good reason for boosting. That which he boosts deserves to be boosted. Take the man who boosts his town. It is the center of the universe to him. His property is there. His home. His family. His future. Even his grave. He boosts his town because it is his town and because he believes it is worth boosting. He is an admirable fellow, the booster. Sometimes he may appear to be a "knocker." The knocker is the opposite of the booster. He knocks because he is a booster. He wants better government. He knocks in order that he may boost. When things are put right he begins to boost again. One of the beauties about boosting your community, for instance, is the reaction of it. When you boost your town you boost yourself. And boosting makes the booster happy. A newspaper writer says boosting is the soul of work. That is a fine definition. Work, effort of any sort, without enthusiasm, is but a tread-mill, a dreary round of commonplaces. There is no soul in it. Work without soul in it is drudgery. Be a booster. Put soul into effort. And this boosts in behalf of your own town, of your church or your cause—whatever it may be—will become a constant series of happy accomplishments. --- The tendency of education is more and more to foresee the needs of our civilization and provide for them by special training in schools. Noteworthy examples of this tendency are the schools of social service recently established in three American cities. These are Simmons College in Boston, now in its fourth year, the School of Philanthropy founded by the New York Charity Society and the department of social science which has recently been opened at the University of Chicago. Just as a special kind of instruction is provided to prepare men and women to be lawyers, doctors, preachers, teachers, nurses, these new institutions seek to educate professional philanthropists to engage in systematic work for organized charities, to conduct "settlements" among the slums, to work as secretaries to doctors, teachers and sociologists who are dealing with social problems in poor, crowded sections of cities. The old method of education was to give a young person general culture, and then leave to time and chance the direction of educated talents toward some special kind of usefulness. Heretofore "slumming," settlement work and other such social service have been left to the emotional impulse and good intention of the amateur in charity. The new schools of charity have studied the practical needs of the sociologist, and alm to turn out, not theoretic economists, but doers of the word. For a long time the new profession will not be overcrowded. The labors of philanthropy become more complex and extensive every year, and there is plenty of room for young men and women in the ranks of the new scientific army which is setting out to fight the enemies of social order and prosperity. Fishskin Lanterns. The puffer or swell fish has the power to distend itself with air into the shape of a globe. Japanese living in the Hawaiian Islands make of the skin of the big puffer found in Hawaiian waters an odd and grotesque lantern. When the skin of the big puffer has been first removed while it is still soft it is stuffed out to its full size in globe shape and so left to dry. The skin is not much thicker than paper and translucent brown on the upper part and gray below. The fins are preserved and dried sticking out from the fish, the tail being perked up at an angle. A circular opening is made in the back, through which the light can be placed and in which is set horizontally a hoop or rim by which the lantern can be suspended. Such a lantern made of a big puffer's skin may be a foot in diameter crosswise and fifteen inches in length, and what with the head of the fish appearing at one end and the perked up tall at the other and the fins projecting at the sides this fish skin lantern makes a very curious object—New York Herald. A Shifting Landmark. In the first years of navigation on Western waters, says the author of "Early Steamboat Navigation on the Missouri River," pilots were forced to use all sorts of signals and marks to decide their courses. One had a custom of running a certain crossing, if he came in at night, by the aid of a dog. The animal belonged to a family living in a house at the foot of the crossing, directly in the course of the bend. Whenever a boat was coming, this dog ran out to the bank, always in exactly the same place, which was in line with the channel, and barked his loudest. The pilot ran toward the sound of the barking with the utmost confidence. Unhappily, the dog one night took a notion to change his stand, and barked a little higher up. The next morning the boat was a hopeless wreck on a sandbar into which the pilot had run at full speed. Old Lady—Were dye come from? Tramp (who has seen better days)—Madam. I castigated my itinerary from the classic Athens of America. Old Lady—Hey? Tramp—I say, I beat my way from Boston—Baltimore American. Made Him Think. "You say Bilggins' speech made you think." "Yes.

The Bible is full of "queer things," until a man gets the Holy Spirit to give him understanding. They who jeer at the church as ELF-DENIAL is the main-spring of Christian work. The Bible is full of "queer things," until a man gets the Holy Spirit to give him understanding. They who jeer at the church as dead are usually afraid that it will prove too lively for them at times. Knowledge is power for evil as well as good. Hearers of the Word criticise the truth, not doers. God's sifting makes us less in bulk, but more in value. The church is Christ's body, and its mission His business. If the church is Christ's body, it will have the nail prints. If the devil is dead, business is going on at the same old stand. Laziness about doing Christian work is often mistaken for humility. The lilies have no mirrors in the grass, and "yet I say unto you." To try to save men by getting them into a church, is trying to make apples of rocks by putting them in fruit boxes. LIFE OF JAPANESE WORKMAN. Comfortable Existence for a Family on Less than 88 a Month. on Less than $8 a Month. The average monthly income of the Japanese workman is now something less than $8, says Eleanor Franklin, in Leslie's Weekly. And this is a high average. On this a Japanese of the laboring class can keep a family of five or six in comfort and cleanliness and enjoy all the simple pleasures dear to the Japanese heart. These pleasures do not consist of feasting and drinking to excess and going to places of amusement, but are the pleasures afforded by the peculiar and complete love of nature in all her moods. "Flower-gazing" is the Japanese expression, and "flower-gazing" costs nothing to the family that is willing to tramp any number of miles to reach some spot particularly beautified by a luxuriant display of one of the season's flowers, which, in their turn, fill every month from the new year to the new year. On these expeditions, which we would call plenics, the family takes its allowance of rice and tea, of fish and small pickled vegetables, and its feast is only such as it usually enjoys at home. The Japanese laborer works on an average twenty-six days each month and his hours are ordinarily from sun to sun. He doesn't work as hard as his brother in the West; he doesn't accomplish as much in a given time, not by any means; but he does his work thoroughly, he is efficient, as a rule, and his pay has always been sufficient for his needs. He lives in a neat little house of two rooms, spotlessly clean and simple to absolute bareness. For this he plays something like $1 a month, and, thanks to the kindly climate of his land, he knows nearly nothing about the expense of fuel. A little charcoal for a tiny hibachi is all he needs, and his cooking can be done on this or on a less ornamental one in a wee bit of an additional room called the kitchen. His charcoal and light together cost him less than $1.25 a month, and for this he has all the fuel and light he finds necessary. He knows nothing about the string of rigid economy. Rice costs him more than anything else. He has to pay about $3 for enough of this commodity to keep his family a month, and his only hardship really is that his income is not sufficient to provide for him the little luxuries of diet that his more fortunate brothers enjoy. And he has his fish and vegetables, too, each costing him a little less than $1 a month, and after everything is paid for he still has enough left for tobacco, hair cutting and shaving, for the hair dressing of the women of his family, and for the daily hot bath in a neighboring public bath house that is so necessary to the well-being of every Japanese. Peace in the Philippines. It is said that not long ago a war department official was approached by a man who was thinking of moving to the Philippines to enter business. "I would like to know the status of things there from a reliable source," the man said. "Is there now a condition of peace?" "Well, not exactly everywhere," the official admitted. "Could you give me any idea as to when peace will be established?" "Not off-hand, but you can get the census report and figure it out for yourself," the official said, somewhat bitterly. "We estimate that it requires a man's weight in lead to thoroughly 'pacify' him, and the quartermaster's office can furnish you with a statement of ammunition shipments."—Harper's Weekly.

In a little over a week the campaign will be over, and a week from Monday the fate of the various candidates will be decided. At two or three points the campaign has been quite animated, and will be more so on next week's home-stretch, but as the Democrats haven't even the possibility of a chance except as to governor and senator on the state and congressional ticket; the other candidates are receiving little attention. The full Republican vote will be cast for them, which insures their election by very large majorities. For secretary of state Mr. Frank Benson, of Douglas county, is not only well qualified and capable of filling the office well, but where he is known he is exceptionally popular, and he made many friends by his canvas before the primaries, and so he is likely to run fully up to the average of the ticket at least. Mr. A. M. Crawford, the candidate for attorney general, is likely to do even better, because he has been in office for nearly four years, and has performed its numerous and onerous duties with great industry, skill and ability, and he will receive not only all Republican but some Democratic votes. He well deserves all he will get. The Democratic candidate for state treasurer, Mr. J. J. D. Matlock, of Eugene, has been making a canvass of the state, and as he is an excellent gentleman, may have made some votes thereby, but not enough to endanger Mr. Steel at all, who will doubtless run well along with the rest. For state printer Mr. Wilkie C. Duniway, of this city, will also hold his own. His opponent, J. Scott Taylor, of Klamath Falls, has also been making an extensive canvas, his principal point being that he favors placing the office on a flat salary, and that if a Democrat were elected a Republican legislature would be likely to do this. This is a rather ingenious plea, but too attenuated and diaphanous to win many if any votes. Mr. Duniway is almost incomparably the more capable man for the office. Mr. Taylor is proprietor of a "country paper," That is, one in a small town, while Mr. Duniway has had almost a lifetime of experience in every department and branch of the printing business, and is familiar with it as perhaps no other man in the state is, and he has pledged himself to eliminate all graft from the office, and is a man who can be depended on to keep his word. He is the only candidate who won out in the primaries by a majority over all others, and is likely to make a corresponding race a week from Monday. For supreme judge, because there are already two hold-over Republican judges on the bench of the supreme court, there will be a disposition among some liberal or generous Republicans to vote for Judge Hailey, yet the sentiment for a wholly Republican state is so general now that this is not likely to give him any chance of election. Most Republicans would really have no objection to his retaining his seat, but on the other hand they have no objection to the other candidate, and so will naturally vote straight on this office as well as the rest. Of course, Professor Ackerman will go in for a third term by an immense majority. He has been tried for eight years, and many Democrats as well as all Republicans will vote for him, for he has given entire satisfaction, and it would be a great mistake, even if the Republicans were in a minority, to elect a new man at this stage of the development of our public school system, which he so thoroughly understands. It is only a question of the number of thousands of majority for all these men, and it would not be surprising if the leading ones won by majorities approximating that given Roosevelt in 1904. The only reason they will not do so, if they should not, is that the registration indicates that the vote will not be nearly as heavy as it was then. PARTY UNITED. For many years, as everybody knows, the Republican party of this state has been divided into two factions, first one succeeding and then the other, and each when it had the chance taking revenge on the other, while the state, in national and congressional elections kept on giving larger and larger Republican majorities. The reasons for this state of affairs are well known to all but comparatively recent arrivals in the state and need no recital here. There seems to be a general disposition this year to forget this fued, to bury the hatchets and to show the country a once more united party in Oregon. We believe that most, if not all, the former and newer leaders and men of influence, and the rank and file, are sincere in this, and that it will be accomplished, yet the situation is doubtful at one point, and some think at two. Considering the latter one first, it is not considered certain by some that Chamberlain can be beaten for governor, and if he should be re-elected Oregon would still be regarded in the east as a Democratic, semi-Democratic or doubtful state, for the office of governor is noticed more than those of all the other state officers combined. Hence the importance, if this is to be classed as a Republican state and is really to be so, of electing a Republican governor as well as the rest of the ticket. Indeed, from a mere party point of view it would be better to sacrifice any two or three other state officers than governor. If there were anything against the Republican candidate there might be some excuse for Republicans voting for Chamberlain, because they consider him a "good fellow." But such is not the case. The Republican candidate is an entirely worthy and capable man in every respect. His character and conduct are above reproach, he has made a good record in Oregon, everybody has confidence in him, he won the nomination fairly and squarely in competition with able and strong men, not in a convention but directly from the hands of the people, and it would be treating him shamefully to defeat him at the polls on June 4th. If it be true that the Republican party is at last united and harmonious; if it be true that Republicans are going to stand by one another and pull for one another and show the country that this is at last a surely and solidly Republican state; then Mr. Withycombe should receive at least an average majority along with the other candidates on the Republican ticket. It is not expected, however, that he will do so, not on account of any fault in him, but because of Governor Chamberlain's popularity. It is conceded that the governor's wide and intimate acquaintance will gain him a considerable number of Republican votes, in spite of loyalty to party, but from a party point of view it would be very much to be deplored if he should again succeed. The Republicans of Portland in particular should be true to their candidate and give him a rousing majority in this city, where, though known by reputation, he is a comparative stranger personally. Don't scratch the head of the ticket if you profess to be a Republican, merely because the other man is a "good fellow." You can't call yourself a true Republican if you do. A different difficulty presents itself in the case of the candidate for United States senator, the most important office on the whole list. Here we have not only a very able, strong and popular Democratic candidate, but also, as is not the case in the gubernatorial contest, a vulnerable Republican candidate, one whom perhaps thousands of Republicans will not support. Our advice, or rather our plea for Republican cohesiveness and party loyalty remains as it has been made above. It should only be for some very urgent or serious reason that a Republican candidate for this office should be voted against. But we only state the fact, apparent to all experienced observers, as to the contest between Mr. Bourne and Mr. Gearin. A FOOLISH MOVE. The Democratic management have put their foot in it, which is nothing new for Democrats, in trying to cast a slur upon Professor Withycombe because he is a native of England, and because, coming to Oregon as a boy, and his father, as he supposed having been naturalized, he supposed himself an American citizen until a circumstance arose which disclosed that he was not. There is no suggestion whatever of wrongdoing or any wrong intent, or of any act or indication of spirit other than entire loyalty to the United States and to Oregon. He has lived here since boyhood, has been a model and an extremely useful citizen, a prominent educator, a man of public spirit, and a loyal Republican. Yes, the Journal, as the principal Democratic paper of the state, whether on its own hook or inspired by the Democratic management, has made a bad mistake in attacking Mr. Withycombe on this score. A great many of our best citizens were abroad, and na- --- tionality is here no test of a man' fitness for office or of the people's confidence in and respect for him. This attack has turned into a boomerang, and will make Mr. Withycombe many votes, because people like to see a man have fair play and do not believe in baseless attacks or slurs on a candidate, especially so good a one as Mr. Withycombe. few Republican deputies, but the unreasonable in finding fault with on this account. Who elected though he is a Democrat? What would he have had, and therefore chance would his Democratic die have had, for the jobs they have none but Democrats had voted for. It was reasonable and right for h recognize in his appointments th The concensus of opinion is that he will be elected by several thousand majority. He is popular and greatly esteemed by the farmers throughout the state. The Republican party, so far as he is concerned, is now pretty well united, and there is considerable opposition in the Democratic ranks to the governor, two prominent and influential Democrats having publicly declared themselves against him. Governor Chamberlain will develop a good deal of strength in the towns, especially in Portland, but it is very unlikely that this will result in anything more than cutting down the normal Republican majority of 40,000 somewhat. This is a heavily Republican state in national affairs, and it is an anomaly that ought not longer exist to have a Democratic governor for another four years, especially when the Republican candidate is in every way a capable and worthy man. Professor Witbycombe ought to be elected by a good-sized, emphatic majority, and we believe will be WHY THIS DIFFERENCE? The other day a Negro was arrested for some misdemeanor in New York, and while being taken to a police station, struck the officer and ran, the officer after him. Many people were on the street, and one man drew a revolver and in spite of the officer's protests fired two shots at the escaped prisoner. Then another man, though commanded by the officer not to do so, took three shots at the colored man. None of the bullets hit the mark, but the Negro was soon impeded by a crowd, tripped and thrown, and then all who could get in reach began hitting and kicking him. Then the cry went up, "Lynch him," and a passing dairman furnished a rope, and the man, beaten half to death, would probably have been lynched except that the officer drew his revolver and declared that he would shoot the first man who tried to place the rope around the Negro's neck, and then he was allowed to go. Why was this frenzied, murderous spirit displayed by ordinary passers-by on a prominent street in daylight in America's greatest city? Merely because the man was black and not white in color. These men who wanted to kill him did not know that he had committed any serious crime, as indeed it does not appear that he had. It is no very unusual thing to see a man running through the streets of a great city with an officer in pursuit. He might only have stolen an orange. If a white man had been the pursued, others might have joined in the chase or impeded his progress, but nobody would have shot at him, especially against the entreaties of the pursuing officer, much less beaten him unmercifully and desired and tried to lynch him. But all this happened to this man merely on account of the color of his skin. Why is this? What sort of civilization, not to say Christianity, is it? Why hasn't a colored man who does no wrong as much right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as the white man? And why hasn't the one who commits a crime the same right and chance to fair and legal treatment. Why should the one be incontinently killed like a mad dog while no violence would be done the other? SHERIFF TOM WORD. While agreeing with the Oregonian that as a rule and as to all state officers the Republicans ought to stick to their party and vote a straight ticket, and so maintain the party to which they adhere and that party's principles, we think that as to county officers an occasional exception may be made when the circumstances justify it, and we believe that such is the case now as to the office of sheriff of this county. Mr. Tom M. Word has been sheriff nearly two years, and everybody admits that he has made a good one. He proved his courage and resourcefulness by cleaning out public gambling, which had become a disgrace to the city, and for which he deserves much credit. But perhaps even more important and commendable than this is the fact that under his administration graft, which had so long flourished in the sheriff's office, has been eliminated. The office has been conducted economically and on strict business principles, taxes have been closely collected, and no more deputies have been employed than were necessary, and they were required to do a full day's work. Some Democrats are disgruntled at Some Democrats are disgruntled at Sheriff W.r.d because he appointed a few Republican deputies, but they are unreasonable in finding fault with him on this account. Who elected him, though he is a Democrat? What chance would he have had, and therefore what chance would his Democratic deputies have had, for the jobs they hold, if none but Democrats had voted for him? It was reasonable and right for him to recognize in his appointments the fact that he owed his election to Republicans as well as to Democrats—in fact, more probably, to Republicans than to Democrats. And a very large number of Republicans as well as all but a handful of Democrats will vote for him again. The story that President Roosevelt desired Chamberlain's election was the height of absurdity. If it had been Binger Hermann it might have been different. Perhaps Governor Chamberlain, who is pretty foxy, somehow induced Napoleon Davis to oppose him. The first of next July Col. Gantenbein will change his title to Judge Gantenbein. Because Chamberlain could win four years ago is no sign that he can do so now. Republicans should stand by their candidate for governor as well as the rest. The whole Republican legislative ticket will be elected by big majorities. Now a lot of you will have to swear it in. We told you so. The whole state ticket deserves all Republican votes. Next week will be a busy one among the politicians. Only one Multnomah county office in doubt. Don't scratch the head of the ticket. Make Oregon a Republican state. Looks like Tom Word again. WILL ADJOURN EARLY. Congress Not Likely to Continue in Session After June 15. Washington, May 22.—Present indications point to an adjournment of congress about the 15th of June. The great debate of the session has been brought to a close, the railroad rate bill has been passed by the senate, and the way is now clear for the regular appropriation bills and other important legislation that demands consideration. In the house of representatives the work is up to date. All of the big appropriation bills, except the sundry civil bill, have been passed by that body, and this last bill will be reported to the house just as soon as the house is ready to receive it. At the outside two weeks is ample to pass this bill and two unimportant appropriation bills yet to be considered, the general deficiency and the diplomatic. In the senate appropriation bills have lagged behind on account of the debate on the rate bill, yet in spite of this protracted discussion the senate has found opportunity to pass the urgency deficiency, pension, fortifications, army and Indian appropriation bills, and will make short work of those now awaiting consideration, namely, the postoffice, agricultural, legislative, District of Columbia and military academy bills. The senate, in spite of its reputation for long debates, can dispose of appropriation bills in remarkably short periods when the time for adjournment approaches. It always does. So the legislative program, so far as the appropriation bills is concerned, may be considered in such shape as to permit adjournment by the middle of June. It is the appropriation bills that determine the length of the session after all, for when the last of these bills is agreed to congress always adjournns, unless it happens to be in extra session, called for some special purpose. The conference committee having the rate bill in charge is not likely to report inside of two weeks, but in the end the house will probably accept the essential senate amendments, including that offered by Senator Allison. The fact that the president approves this amendment will be ample justification for the house to give its assent, and the further fact that practically all the other amendments meet with the approval of the president will insure their final adoption.

President Garfield wrote: "Laugh at it though we may, put it aside as a jest if we will, keep it out of Congress and political campaigns, nevertheless, the question of woman suffrage is rising on the horizon larger than a man's hand, and some solution, ere long, that question must find." Theodore Roosevelt voted for woman suffrage when he was a member of the legislature. He recommended it in his message to the legislature when he became governor of New York, and he has since then over and over declared himself in favor of it. LINCOLN AND ROOSEVELT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS. Abraham Lincoln was the first public man in America to declare for equal rights for women. In a letter to the Sangamon County Journal, published away back in 1832, he said that women ought to vote. Mr. Lincoln added: "I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens, by no means excluding women". The equal suffrage amendment proposes to strike out of the Oregon constitution the words "white male". It, therefore, removes a badge of disgrace from Negroes as well as from women, and every self-respecting colored man ought to vote for it. The constitution of Oregon now says that only "white male" citizens shall vote. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," said: "I think the state would be distinctly a gainer by receiving the votes of women." EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

"Where are you working now, Jim-sey?" asked the proprietor of the all-night lunch counter of the languid-looking youth in the maroon sweater. "Somebody told me you was drivin' a laundry wagon." go to thunder. If I work fourteen ho a day it's just to please myself. don't have to do it. When a man a place of his own he can do as likes. You go into business for yo self." "I was," said the young man, "but it was too fierce for me. I had to keep gain' from 6:30 to 6 o'clock in the evening'an' sometimes longer. I wouldn't have minded the drivin' so much, but they expected me to take care of the horse, too." "They had an awful rind," remarked the lunch-counter man, drawing a cup of coffee from the bright nickel urn. "Most places they have a cheap roustabout to 'tend to the horse an' bring him around to where the driver lives, don't they?" "Naw," replied the young man. "I guess most of the drivers does that, but all the same I wasn't stuck on it. Feedin' him an' waterin' him an' harnessin' him up an' curryin' him every once in so often. I got tired of it. An' then you're all the time jumpin' in an' out of the wagon an' carryin' bundles. It ain't no plenic. I quit." "I don't blame you," said the lunch-counter man. "I thought all you had to do was to set up in the seat and drive around. Wasn't much better than clerkin', was it?" "Well, some. But it wasn't no picnic. In the store they kept a feller humpin' most of the time. Wouldn't let you sit down, neither. Skoopin' out sugar into twenty-pound sacks, an' grindin' the old coffee mill an' carryin' bushel baskets an' cracker boxes out to the delivery wagon 's worse than drivein'. One week o' that did me." "Why don't you go into business for yourself?" asked the lunch-counter man. "Look at me. I've got my own business an' I'm independent. If I don't feel like workin' I don't have to. If I take a notion to shut up the joint an' go an' enjoy myself there ain't nobody to tell me I can't do it. If a customer comes in an' wants something to eat I don't have to give it to him unless I want to I can tell him to This is an age when potentates travel. The heir to the British throne has been making an extended journey in India. The King of England and the Kaiser frequently take long trips on foreign soils, and even young Alfonso is no stay-at-home. Modern invention has provided every luxury for the journeying monarch, but the means and money of to-day do not furnish more remarkable nor costly journeys than one taken by Catherine the Great, described in a work on the Russian court of the eighteenth century. Catherine had made conquests in the Crimea, and her prime minister, Prince Potemkin, persuaded her to visit her new possessions. The preparations for the journey took some time. Conveyances had to be built and vessels got ready. The distance to be gone over by land was over two thousand kilometers, and for a great part of the way the road had to be made. One Herculean task was clearing the river Dnleper of dangerous rocks. In all, over seven million rubles were spent in this six months' journey. The start was made in January, 1780. An immense steigh had been built for the empress, fitted up as a room, in which eight persons could amuse themselves in comfort, playing cards, or consulting the books with which the walls were lined. Thirty horses drew this great vehicle; fresh relays awaited at every station. As the weather was bitterly cold, huge bonfires were lighted at regular intervals to temper the atmosphere. Every house in which the court rested was newly built or furnished. The linen and the plate used by the empress never did service but once. At Klef eighty ships were waiting to convey the royal company. Handsome rooms were built on the deck, hung with silk and luxuriously furnished. But the strangest and most extravagant feature of the whole proceeding was the appearance of the country through which the river runs. The empress gazed in surprise at the wonderful and enchanting sights. Instead of the dreary desert she had supposed, the prairies, stretching on every hand, were covered with herds of sheep and goats, tended by gaily dressed shepherds playing on pipes. Picturesque towns and villages were peopleled by youths and maldens, who tripped down to the shore singing qualt airs. Every stopping place revealed such scenes, all strikingly alike. This was the secret of the Arcadian spectacle: Potemkn had forced all these people to leave their homes in Little Russia and to betake themselves to the shore, so that Catherine and her guests in passing might see nothing but happy villages and loyal subjects. No sooner had the galleys moved on than the people, taking cross-roads by night, transplanted themselves to the next sham village, and went through the same performances. Over a thousand villages of Little Russia were depopulated in this manner. In their go to thunder. If I work fourteen hours a day it's just to please myself. I don't have to do it. When a man has a place of his own he can do as he likes. You go into business for yourself." "That's all right, but it takes money to start." "Not much. You could get a stock of collar buttons an' shoelaces an' a tray, an' there you are all fixed out. No hard work about it. All you've got to do is to stand an' holler 'Laces!'" "Glmme another piece o' ple," said the languel youth. The lunch-counter man deftly cut a pie into quarters and slid one on to the young man's plate. "I don't hardly know what to advise you," he said, after a pause. "You've tiled 'most everything, I guess. The trouble is that you don't take no interest in politics. If you did that you might get a job that would suit you, but about everyt'ing outside o' that they expect you to work for what you get." "Shucks," said the young man. "What's the use o' workin' anyway? Father likes to work. There ain't no need o' more'n one in the family doin' it. I've tried it an' I don't like it. I'm not goln' to try to get a job for a while. I'll take a rest." "You certainly need it," said the lunch-counter man. "You surmise all right. The old man can work an' you can work him. As long as he's producin' there ain't no need o' you gettin' your hands calloused, as you say. When the old man's played out you can get some good strong, industrious woman an' marry her. There's always plenty who are glad to support some worthless son of a gun. Them's the happy marriages. The woman enjoys slavin' away over a washtub an' the man enjoys lettin' her do it. You're all right, Jimsey. No need for you to worry." "I don't," said Jlmsey. "I was afraid you might," said the lunch-counter man.—Chicago Daily News. REMODELING THE HUMAN NOSE. Paramin Used as a Substitute for Flesh Tissue with Success. It is not more than five years since a physician of Vienna hit upon the idea of injecting paraffin into the flesh as a substitute for the fibrous tissue in the living body, says the New York Herald. Because of an accident the treatment was for a while most unpopular, but precious to this a number of remarkable operations were performed. The physician published the history of more than thirty successful cases treated in this way, in which "clefts and fistulae were narrowed, cavities here and there were taken out, sunken noses were remodeled, the falling in of the cheek after removal of the upper jaw was repaired and a nerve divided for the relief of neuralgia was prevented from growing together again." An eminent English surgeon who has had much success in the same line of work, in an address which he gave before the Medical Graduates' college not long ago, gave his experience with forty-three cases of sunken nose. Among these cases there were no deaths, no sloughing of the skin, and the results were permanent and good. Some cases which seemed hopeless were eminently successful and some which looked easy were found to be insuperably hard. It is anxious work and heavy responsibility altering the shape of people's noses, and the surgeon must be content if he succeeds in making a nose that shall be merely unnoticeable. It is no small matter to accomplish this much, for the patients have sad stories to tell of the riddle, the staring in the streets and the ill-natured laughter which make their lives a burden, and by supplying a nose which, if not a Greek model, will at least permit the owner to go through life unnoticed and free from contempt the surgeon has earned eternal gratitude. Individual Law. A man's interest often gives a bias to his judgment, but the relation between law and individual opinion is seldom so close as it was believed to be by a juryman who figures in a Century Magazine story. A far Western judge summed up a case fully and learnedly, but the jury were unable to agree. "Judge, this 'ere is the diff'culty," the foreman explained. "The jury wants to know if that thar what you told us was r'al' the law, or only just your notion." Not Contemporaries. Crittick—Yes, I took in the opening performance of Gagley's comic opera last night. Askins—Yes? Nothing new there, I suppose. Crittick—Well, some of the people in the audience seemed to be; they laughed at the jokes—Catholic Standard and Times. Undiscriminating.

FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

WISE BROTHERS DENTISTS For a Good Complexion Eat a Cascaret whenever you suspect you need it. Carry a little 10c Emergency box constantly with you, in your Purse or Pocket. When do you need one? - When Pimples begin to peep out. - When your stomach Gnaws and Burns. That's the time to check coming Constipation, Indigestion and Dyspepsia. That's the time to take a Cocacet One candy tablet night and morning, taken regularly for a short time, is warranted to cure the worst case of Constipation or Indigestion that walks the earth. One tablet taken whenever you suspect you need it will insure you against 90 per cent of all other ills likely to attack you. Because 90 per cent of these ills begin in the Bowels, or exist through poor Nutrition. Cascarets don't purge, don't weaken, don't irritate, nor upset your stomach. They don't act like "Physic" that flush out the Bowels with a waste of precious Digestive Juice needed for tomorrow's Bowel-work. No—they act like Exercise, on the Bowels, instead. DR. W. A.

They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to contract and propel the Food naturally past the little valves that mix Digestive Juices with Food. They strengthen these Bowel-Muscles by exercising them.

The Bowel-Muscles can thus, in a short time, dispense with any Drug assistance whatever. Cascarets are safe to take as often as you need them, while pleasant to eat as Candy.
