A splendid audience assembled at the Opera ' House this afternoon to see and h-ear Dr. Withycombe, Republican candidate for Governor, who, with Hon. H. M. Cake, wu met at the "depot by a crowd of prominent Republicans and the Junior Band. , Senator Booth, after a short address, introduced Dr. Withycombe. who was en thusiastically received and repeatedly ap plauded throughout his quiet but con vincing speech. He paid a tribute to the , Republican party, assured the people of .his loyalty to the State University, fa vored generous but Judicious state appro priations and expenditures, anticipated the passing of the franchise amendment, proved the ridiculousness of the crltl clsma made by some as to his nativity and asked for the support of his hearers for himself and others of the state ticket on the grounds that they were exponents nf the party to which the country owed Its past success and present prosperity. C. U. McArthur made a good talk for the party and the candidates, referring especially to the Importance of strength ening the present administration by elect ing Republicans to the important state offices, and citing Instances In which seri ous mistakes have been made by follow ing the plan advocated at this time by the Uemocratic politicians. Judge Cake followed with an entertain ing address showing Just what the two parties have done for the country as a whole and emphasized the Importance of returning a Republican to the Senate and electing a Republican Governor.

ARGUMENTS FALLi FL.AT. Governor Chamberlain Tells Condon Audience of His Prowess. CQNDON. Or., May 21. (Special. -Governor Chaniberlaln spoke here Satur 'day night to an audience of nearly 200. mostly ladies and Republicans, all of whom today "are of the same opinion still." His talk was devoted principally to lils own deeds as Governor, and not at any time did he refer to Senator Gearin. or any of the other Democratic candidates for state or county offices. The speaker referred to his having been District Attorney for Multnomah County, hut did not explain why. as such, he did not blossom out as a reformer under conditions vastly greater and more cer tain than any he has had since becom ing Governor. Indirectly he likened hlm slf to Roosevelt, Folk. Jerome, and other great men of the Nation, but he failed lamentably to make a satisfac tory showing. He claimed credit for lowering the state taxes, but he did not explain why Condon's assessment still remains at 40 mills on the dollar under the administration of , a Democratic County Judge and Democratic City Mayor. He claimed credit for Increase in the school fund of the state to the extent of many thousands of dollars, but he did not explain why many of our teachers are obliged to take school war rants, payable next July without Inter est. Instead of good hard cash for their services. Mr. Chamberlain said he would not abuse anybody, yet he told how he found the state's money being handled, until he had painted the Secretary of State and State Treasurer as the two biggest grafters on earth, at the same time fall ing tu state that the conditions were Identical with those under his Demo cratic predecessors, Pennoyer and Grover. He stated that there was no dividing line between Democrats and Republicans; that Democrats helped pass the railroad rate bill: that he was In favor of the direct primary law, the initiative and ref erendum. The only reference to Dr. Withycombe was that the latter had said he would abolish the state land office, while ha (Chamberlain) would retain it. He failed to say that the doctor would vastly im prove upon the present methods of hand ling the school lands and school funds, in fact his speech was a flat failure as a campaign argument. Chamberlain does not expect to carry this county, and l.ractically admits Gearin's defeat in the state. "He's a Jolly good fellow, but will never be Governor again." Is the consensus of opinion on our streets. MIIL CITY KEPUBLICAN RALLY I. inn Legislative. Candidates Begin ' . Tour of County. ALBANY, Or., May 21. (Special.)

The woman was badly burned about the head and hands, and her hair was near ly all singed from her head. Puhia's clothing was burned from his body and he suffered painful wounds. Strange to say the feet of the two victims showed no evidence of the walk over the blazing pit. DIES ON HIS BIRTHDAY. John W. Hicks, or Silverton, an Esteemed Oregon Pioneer. SILVERTON. Or.. May 21.

M'GOWANV Most Rev. E.'J. O'Dea, bishop of Nlsqually, was assisted -by Rev. Leopold Diehlman, chaplain of St. Mary's Hospital, Astoria, in the dedication of the new Catholic church at McGowan, Wash. The edifice has a seating capacity of about SOO and was built and furnished by the well-known canneryman, P. J. McGowan. at his own expense, at a cost of $3500. day, at the Grand Opera-House, by James W. Morrison, who alone repre sented the retail liquor trade of the city, the commercial element most vi tally affected by the movement for the closing of all saloons at midnight every night and ail day Sunday. A storm of applause greeted the speaker, when he made this closing statement to an argument in favor of allowing conditions to remain as they are at present, for the reason thar the carrying out of the proposed reform would militate against the best inter ests .of the city, in greatly curtailing the general retail trade of Seattle. Mayor Moorej who presided over the meeting, stated there was no' good to be accomplished by a spasm of reform and that he had made up his mind not to be forced to go the- reform pace any faster than his judgment dfrtated. He wanted permanent results and they were only to be accomplished by tak ing up the various evils to be correct ed at the proper time, and working out a remedy that would accomplish the desired correction. A number of minis ters also spoke. DRASTIC RULES FOR SALOONS Tacoma Boxes and Winerooms to Go, License to Be Raised. TACOMA, Wash., May 21. (Special.) One of the important matters to come before the police and license commit tee Tuesday afternoon will be the new saloon ordinance which is being draft ed. The new law will increase the cost of a liquor license from $600 to $1000 and will cause some sweeping changes in the method of conducting the saloon business In Tacoma. Boxes and winerooms will be barred absolutely. No women will be permit ted to work in saloons and gambling of all kinds will be prohibited. Evi dence that any of the provisions of tin; ordinance are being violated will . re sult in the revocation of the license. The section prohibiting boxes where liquor is sold will affect a number of restaurants where wine and other liquor is served with meals. This fea ture of the ordinance Is expected to arouse some opposition. The principal effect of the new ordi nance will be to drive out of business a number of the cheaper saloons and dives. While the number of saloons will be reduced, the revenue to the city will be increased. It is expected that the increase in revenue will be suffi cient to pay for the ten additional po lice officers who are soon to be ap pointed. DISCIPLINE FOR GOSSIPERS. Tacoma Pastor Says Note-Shaving Bankers Need Attention. TACOMA. Wash., May 21. (Special. ) "Enforcement of Discipline In the Churches" was the subject of an address delivered at the meeting of the Minis terial Alliance, this morning. Rev. Her bert Judson White, pastor of the First Baptist Church, gave what was probably the strongest assertion made on the sub ject. "Besides disciplining people for card playing and dancing." said Mr. White, "there are other things that need atten tion. We need to discipline the banker who shaves Mortgage notes too closely, and the women who gossip in each oth er's parlors. "We want . to let the rest of the world know that the churches on the Pacific Coast will not stand for immorality, and to do that there must be some rigorous discipline. If there ever was place where carnality abounds, that place is Taeoma. The terrible moral condition of this place has been brought home to me time and again, and there is necessity for some action that will change conditions." HEAVY SENTENCE FOR WOMAN Mrs. Baruth GlTcn Ten Years for Shooting Her Husband. SPOKANE. Wash., May 21. Mrs. Jose phine Baruth, of Medical Lake, was sen tenced by Judge Hueneke this morning to 10 years in the penitentiary and a fine of $1000 for the murder of her husband, whom she shot during a family quarrel.' Her plea was self-defense. Sensational testimony was adduced at the trial, in which it was shown that Baruth and his wife had been divorced many years ago, and that later she re turned to live with him, on promise of remarriage, which it was alleged he never carried out. On the morning that she shot Baruth she testified he attacked her. The weapon used was a small 22 caliber rifle, and the wound, at first not considered serious, proved fatal .In a short time. ' "In the short time I have been on the bench," remarked the court In tone tinged with sympathy, before passing the sen tence, "among the sad duties I have been called on to perform, the most difficult Is to determine the length of time that one convicted of crime shall be deprived of their liberty, and in your case It is the most difficult of any I have had to deal with. I am mindful that you have three Bmall children who need your presence, and if I were governed by my feelings I would pronounce the minimum penalty allowed by law. but there is the duty of the court, which must be considered. "The court is between two points of view sympathy and duty. The law fixes the minimum penalty for the crime of which you have been convicted at one year, and the maximum at 20 years. The verdict of the jury deprives you of the claim of solf-defense, but it does not charge malice. "There remains but one question for the court to determine the extent of the pro vocation of the shooting. Tour own testi mony is that you were cool and collected rather than excited when the shots were fired." STORES OH DOCK L00TE0 CHARGES ARE MADE AGAINST SEATTLE FIREMEN.
