The voice of the constituents is already being heard by some of the mem bers of the Legislature. The first com muniiv to extend the glad hand to the railroad companies is Vancouver, Clark County. The delegation representing that county at Olypla has received the fol lowing communication: "At a speclil meeting held by the Van couver Business Men's Protective Asso ciation, January 9, 1998, the following res olution was proposed and unanimously adopted: "Whereas, Although It is not the desire of the members of this organization to participate in politics, yet it is a fact that the growth and resources of our city and county have for years remained lat ent and undeveloped for want of modern transportation facilities, and it Is of vital Interest to us and our people that rail roads with modorn equipment and good roadbeds bo constructed and operated In this city and county, connecting us with the business world, thereby quickening our commerce and developing our bounti ful and long-smothered resources; "Whereas, Extensive capital is ready to give us such transportation facilities as we have long needed, without asking a bonus or subsidy, but unfortunately in Its good work of extending railroad lines Into new territory of this state, especially Clark and adjoining counties, and improv ing and raising the standard and equip ments of its old lines. It is being hindl capped, by threatened legislation in the Legislature in the nature of a bill for an appointive railroad commission; "Whereas, A railroad commission -will not bring tho people of this city or coun ty one cent of tribute, but that It Is to our interest and that of the people of our county to give to the railroad our hearty support and extend to them a welcome and co-operating hand and show them that wo appreciate the good they havo done our city and county already; there fore, be it "Resolved, That It Is our unanimous sentiment, regardless of political opin ions, that we are opposed to the threat ened legislation of a commission bill in our Legislature, soon to convene, and we request and urge our Representatives, the Hon. E. M. Rand, A. H. Parcel and Glen Rauck, to use all honorable means by vote, word and influence, to defeat any bill creating a railroad commission, either appointive or elective; and that copies of this resolution be sent to our honorable representatives.

Grouping of Counties Which May Not SntlKfy All PolIUcInni. OL.YMPIA, Jan. 17. (Staff correspond ence.) House bill No. 5, Introduced by Jones of King may stir up considerable strife among some of the politicians who jtue vpi-iuoeu iu uiviuins me state inio vjon gresslonal districts. In this division, 'which will give "Washington three Con gressmen, the bill provides for a group ing which places King, Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, San Juan, Island and Kitsap In District No. 1; Clallam, Jefferson. Chc halis. Mason, Pierce, Thurston, Pacific, Lewis, Wakiakum, Cowlitz, Skamania and Clark in District No. 2, and Okano gan, Stevens, Ferry, Chelan, Douglas, Lincoln, Spokane. Kittitas, Adama, Whit man, Franklin, Garlleld, Columbia, Aso tin, Walla Walla, Yakima and Klickitat in District No. 3. The proposed division is said to be particularly objectionable to Representative CushmSn. Despite his diplomacy and tact, the last struggle for renomination added quite a number to the stock of enemies which he has .accu mulated in tho district where this bill will place him. The outside support be yond the range of these local political fights, in which Cushman -was an active participant. Is always certain to roll up a big majority for the Republican candi date, and Cushman would miss it If he came up again as a candidate in the dis trict mapped out by tho new bill.

Finds Business Better Pay Than M&nHffingr, 3IcMInnvlIIe Collcsre. M'MINNVTLLE, Jan. 17. (Special.) Presldent H. L. Boardman has tendered his resignation as president of McMlnn tvllle College, to take effect at the end of so present couege year. There is muchj x . - i-w -di rect these faults. Nothing could be better than a prescription which Dr. R. V. Pierce used in his large practice for many years, in the diseases of women. This " Favorite Prescription " of Dr. Pierce has tiad an immense sale for the past thirty-six years, because of its uniform success in the cure of women's diseases, and because of the many thousand women who have attested to its merit. Being made entirely of extracts of roots and herbs, without alcohol, it is perfectly harmless to the most delicate system, and the best ready-to-hand remedy in the market." "To insure perfect health, every tissue, bone, nerve, tendon, or muscle should take from the blood certain materials for its nourishment and growth. Every organ must have its .period of activity and of rest, so as to circulate the vital fluid in a proper manner to nourish every part. This is why I believe in advising every woman to take gentle exercise out of doors or indoors. If the functions are not regular or the pains are severe then she should at once use a reliable remedy." Mrs. A. BELYEA, of Rockland, New Brunszvick, said: "I suffered more than a year from nervousness and functional derangement. Had pains in the left side of abdomen all the time. Some days could hardly get around. Kept my bed about half the tinier I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., and got his advice for which I have ever been thankful. I began taking ' Favorite Prescription ' right away as he advised. It makes me sleep well at night which I never did before, and I feel rested. Can truthfully say Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has cured me." Mrs. O. 0. SCRIPTURE, of Prescotl, Arizona, saidr "Words cannot express how grateful I am for what Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has done for me. For nearly ten years I was a great sufferer with ulceration and sickness peculiar to women I doctored for several years ; got no better until I began taking the 'Prescription.' Now I can stand on my feet and work hard all day. I feel that life is worth living, and shall always recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines."

A famous physician in speaking of health, dcauij; and a good figure, said : nIn my experience many American women have not the strength to take up outdoor sports, many lack the inclination for active physical exertion, household cares or office work they feel languid, tired and worn-out by the weaknesses so common to their sex. Some women have household duties which keep them shut up at home. For all such persons I should advise a few simple daily exercises, with light dumb bells, devqting only ten minutes of the day to it at first, and gradually increasing it until they find that their whole being is stimulated and strengthened by it. If the young girl or the matron is troubled at certain periods with irregularity, weakening drains, and backache perhaps faint and dizzy SDells--then she should take snrnethincr rrifvlininnllir fn ssmsuBBsnsa ity, as the suit should have been brought against Shaver as Sheriff, as he was act ing in his official capacity. Johanna Pol lock sued Shaver for $1503 for attachment and retention of property.

NOT ALL WORK AT SALEM LEGISLATORS HAVE TIME FOR OC CASIONAL RECREATION. Headquarters. Are Popular Resorts Bowline Alley an Attraction Pro . flciency of Country Members. " SALEM, Or., Jan. 17. (Special.) The life of the Oregon legislator Is not all work and no play while at Salem. While the members of the legislative body find plen ty to do, and could keep busy 15 hours a day If they wished, they generally con tent themselves with two or three hours' work each day outside of the time the two houses are in session. From 10 to 12 A. M. and 2 to 4 P. M., or four hours a day, are the usual periods for the legislative session. Many of the members find time while the Legislature is at work to attend to their correspondence, read the papers, etc Salem has ono playhouse Cordray's Opera-House. During the session of the Legislature about two plays a week are presented, and these are quite largely at tended by the lawmakers. - Aside from this place of amusement the legislators have few places to spend their evenings. The Illlhee clubrooms are open to all the mem bers of tho Legislature, and many spend an hour or two at that popular resort every evening. Senator Fulton's rooms in the Willamette Hotel are a rendezvous for a group of the stalwarts who are sup porting that gentleman In his candidacy for the United States Senate, while the Jonathan Bourne headquarters In the Eld ridge block Is the most frequent meeting place of the friends of Mr. Bourne and Governor Gcer. In 1S97 the Bourne head quarters afforded what was said to be the most attractlvo entertainment to be had In the city, and probably Mr. Bourne Is no less hospitable now than he was then. Members who do not frequent any of these meeting-places spend their evenings calling on each other at their rooms or engaging In conversaUon in groups in the legislative halls at the Capitol. The-Ullheo bowling alley attracts a good-sized crowd every evening. Some of tho country members are learning the game and aro In a fafr way to become tho peers of their city associates who have been playing the game for years. Representative La Follett, for example, who has split the rails for miles of fence, is already offering odds to his colleague, Representative Kay, whose muscles have become soft during, the years he has spent figuring out how high a price ho can pay the farmers for their wool and still be able to put goods on the market in competition with other manufacturers. 1 One evening this week a game was made up of players who were nearly all new at bowling. It was rare sport for the old hands at the game, but It brought out the perspiration on the brows of the new play ers, who couldn't sec why the pesky balls wouldn't roll straight. "If I only had a lasso I'd get 'em," said Representative Burgess, who lives at Bake Oven, after ho had sent three balls roll ing down between the pins" at the other end. "Huh!" was the only comment of Sen ator Johnson, when he rolled his last ball and some one said "Goose egg!" He looked with unconcealed contempt at the three pins which had earned respect by standing up there in the face of so fierce an onslaught "Port hefoi!" shouted Representative Hahn. from down by the sea, when his colleague, Carnahan, had rolled two balls which went off the side of the alley before they had gone half way down the glisten ing surface. The command was obeyed, with better results. ' Then Representative Test made a strike, and "PI!" exclaimed Representative Bai ley, who was raised in a printing office. "Another pi!" he oxclaimed, a moment later, .when another strike had been made. "Pie?" answered Test, and then, when he saw his score doubling up on the board, he whispered to himself, "Wish banks could figure that way." Tho average score for the game was about -25 pins. The reading-room at the Illlhee Club is a profitable place to 'spend an evening, and the periodical .table is usually surrounded by a group of Interested readers. Tho State Library is not provided with general SPECIALS THIS 200 pairs Men's All-Wool Pants, $3.00 to $3.50 values, special...... 20 dozen Men's Percale Stiff-Bosom Shirts, regu lar $1,50. values, including Manhattan, Griffon and Eclipse makes, special MEN'S HATS, $1.90 and $2.50 values; " special , The price reductions all over the store are so positive, that you can not af- - ' ford to let the opportunity pass. ' The only exceptions from the Slash ing of Prices are BREWER HATS and E. & W. COLLARS o literature, but almost exclusively with law books, and is therefore frequented by legislators only when they are In quest of aids Jn preparing bills. The resolution adpoted by the Senate on Thursday, allowing each of the members of that body to employ a clerk, is still re ceiving much discussion. One member who did not BO to Portland Thursday night said yesterday that If the action of tho Senate is censurable, the censure should bo placed upon those who made the ac tion necessarj. "Two years ago," he said, "the minority were forced to accept as clerks men whom they did not want, and were denied the privilege of naming their clerks. There la not a man among my constituents who would submit to that kind of treatment if he were here, and I am not afraid that when I return to my county the people will censure me for the course I took. The course of the domi nant faction had become Intolerable-, and we demonstrated at the outset that we will not submit to it at this session." The Legislature has two officials to elect besides the United States Senator. These are tho State Librarian and Boatman at Astoria. J. B. Putnam Is always re-elected to the former position without opposi tion, and will be elected again at this ses iiuu. xie Knows me aiaie lmrary so well that.no one ever tries to get his position away from him. Secretary of State Dunbar and State Treasurer Moore went to Portland today, and will attend the funeral of Congress man Tongue at Hlllsboro tomorrow. Each will act as honorary pallbearer.
