Debs in Jajl, Mr. Stedman is the standard bearer of the party in this campaign. , Also Sunday night August GiUhaus, vice presidential candidate of the indus trial labor party, frequently confused with the socialist party, is billed to speak at 231 Oak street. Mr. Stedman has challenged Gover nor Cox to a debate, but the challenge has not been answered, although the democratic presidential nominee will also be in Portland Sunday.

When the people's party held its nominating convention in St. Louis In 1S96, Mr. Stedman was chairman of the contesting; delegation from Illinois, consisting principally of members of the American railway union. After the convention, rem nants of the union got together and organized the social democratic party, with teugene V. Debs as chairman of the first executive committee. Others on -the committee were Victor L. Berger and Seymour Stedman. The socialist party is the heir of that or ganization. , Mrs. W. M.

Stabbed in the arm by what the police think was a poison nee die," Erick Okker, a schoolboy, liv ing at 105th street and Woodland Park avenue, staggered into the po lice station today and said he "felt, queer." 1 He was rushed to the city hospital, where marks of a prick were found. The pin was thrust into his arm, the boy said, by a man who sat next to him on a Green Lake car as he was coming down town from his home. The car was almost in the business district, he eaid. when he felt something sharp enter th upper part of his right arm. He became dizzy and his tongue got thick and "tingly." The sensation left him, he said, as he got off the car, but returned & half-hour later. The police have no theory as to the motive of the "poison needle" wieldcr. The boy said the man did not try to talk to him. Exact Condition of Flagship of Ad miral Huse Not Indicated V Department Report. WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.

Allen, justice of the supreme court of Colorado, who has been a Portland visitor for the past month. "In 1898 the etate conventions or the democrats, silver republicans and populists were called to meet at Colo rado Springs at the same time, it was the hope of the leaders of the parties that all could agree upon candidates so that a united front ould be presented in the election, and that by consolidation the republican candidates could be defeated. The democrats had the opera house, the silver republicans a hall near by and the populists were holding their con vention in a church. The populists were very particular that none except bona fide members of the party gain admission to the building and had stationed a doorkeeper outside the main entrance. After the conventions had been in session two days without finishing their work a republican came along the street and observed that an acquaintance was on guard for the populists. Approaching- his friend he said: " 'Hello, Bill, how is your conven tion getting along?" V 'We are getting along fine,' was the reply, 'and I think we will suc ceed in this amalgamation all right if the d republicans don't buy ua."
