Stevens has gone to work for the E.i.t Side Railway company and is now emwued in learning to handle the electric cars. Oregon's republicans have arranged their preliminaries for the coming state campaign. On Wednesday their state central committee and the two con gressional district committees met and amicably set the time and place of hold ing their respective conventions. The state and econd congressional district conventions will be held April II in Portland, and the first congressional district convention is set for April Oat Salem. The basis of apportionment has been fixed at one-delegate-at-larg from each county, and one for each 150 votes and for each fraction thereof over 75 votes cast for the republicau presiden tial electors in 1SD2. This makes the apportionment as follows: Baker 6 Lincoln 3 Benton 6 Linn 12 Clackamas i:t Malheur 3 Clatsop 9 Marion 21 Columbia 6 Multnomah M Coos 5 Morrow 4 Crook 3 Polk 7 Curry . . 3 Sherman 3 Douglas 10 Tillamook 5 ' Gilliam 4 Umatilla 11 Grant 5 Union 8 Harney 2 Wallowa 3 Jackson 7 Vaco 8 Josephine 4 Washington .... 12 Klamath 3 Yamhill 11 Lake 3 Lane 14 Total.... that unless the fault could be remedied a change would li necessary at tho end of the year. This action was taken earlv in April being precipitated by the fact that almost all the pupils in the principal's room bad staved from school on the afternoon of the first of April. This led to a conferenis between Mr. Strange and the directors, at w hich he maintained that bis school w as in first class condition and the direclors calling his attention to the complaints entered by patrons of the school and the ab senting of his pupils on the afternoon of April Fool's day, his being the only That Freight t ar License.

The case was well conducted on both aide and after a trial lasting FOR HONEST GROCERIES AT THE LOWEST CASH PRICES GO TO room in the building to show audi gross ' about three hours It was tuken under ad- lack of discipline. Mr. Kelly stated that the misrepresentation consisted In the statement that Mr. Strange had been employed for two years instead of one, and in claiming that he had not been fahly dealt with, being led to exect lo be retained in the school till loo late to get another place. The conference, with the plain talk at that time, Mr. Kelly claimed was ample notice that a change would be made. Mr. Mrange being given an 0xr tunity to leply stated that he was only employed for one year, but contended that he had taught good school, and was therelore entitled lo )e continue,! for another year. He recited the situa tion pretty much as Mr. Kelly had ; given u so tar as tne lacta were con cerned, the variation being In the view taken by the two sides rather than in the material facts. The meeting after i listening to the discussion for aloiit twenty minutes moved to adjourn which was done, but afterwards Mr. Kelly and Mr. Strange continued the discussion, both waxing somewhat heated in the expression of their views. Hon. R. V. Short and tamily have moved irom Wilsonville to Snnnyview in Multnomah county wheie they will permantly reside. E. A. M. Cone of Butteville, one of the largest bop growers in the state, was in the city the first of the week attending to business matters.

Laws are of no account unless they are enforced. To grow old gracefully, one must live termperately, calmly, methodically; be interested in all that is going on in the world; lie cheerful!, happy, and con tented, and above all, keep the blood pure and vigorous by the use of Ayer's Harsaprilla. Be sure you get Ayer's. It is RHtonUI-.ing how business in creases in Elyville notwithstanding the hard times. Another blacksmith has located there and another merchant is expected to carry on business there in tb course of two or three months. Verily nothing succeeds like success. It is stated that the Oswego iron works are about to shut down for an indefinite period on account of the dullness of the times which has stopped all demand for iron. This will be a severe blow to Os wego, which to a large degree, detends upon the mines and furnace for occupa tion. Senate Officers Elected. The last mewing of the mock senate was well attended and an interesting one, much business being transacted. One of the items of business for the eve ning was election of the following named officers to serve for the ensuing term: President of the United States, Capt. J. T. Aopeison : president of the senate. C. H. Dye; chief clerk, Geo. Rineanton: reading clerk, J. U. Campbell ; aargeant at arms, J. P. Shaw; treasurer, II. S. Strange. The officers have been notified of their election and Friday evening, February 9th, has been fixed upon as the time for their inauguration at which time special . 2tW FIRST DISTRICT CONURK8SI0NAL CONVENTION To enable the delegates to attend the state convention in Portland, it was de cided to hold the first congressional dis trict convention at Salem, on April 9. The apportionment of delegates from the different counties was made on the same basis as that for the state convention, and it was decided to leave each county to decide for itself whether it shall be represented in the state and district con ventions by one or two sets of delegates. VICTORY Till WATCHWORD. There was but one sentiment ex pressed by the state and district commit teemen, and it was to the effect that the outlook for a sweeping republican vic tory in this state was never brighter than it is at present. From each county cmie reports of a disorganized opposition, with nothing in sight to indicate a healing of the breach created by Pennoyer's con temptuous treatment of Cleveland con tingent toward Pennoyer. The ruinous fiscal policy of the democratic congress and administration, as exemplified by the existing commercial and industrial depression, was also hailed by the com mitteemen as presaging republican tri umph by unprecedented majorities. The decadence of the third party as a menacing factor was attributed to the causes described, and greeted as a cheer-! 8'de We" ""'""'l- I'tm o.I upon ingomen.

Here we are assembled a month ahead of our usual time for getting together, and while every one of us feel that a com- ! plete republican victory can hardly be prevented, yet we are eager to work as errnestly as if we were threatened with defeat along the line."

District .School Meeting. j The special meeting of Ihe electors of school district So. 62 on Monday even ing called for the purpose of votings tax for the conduct of the school and to pay the interest on the bonds was not largely attended, Pope's ball being about half filled. After the calling of the meeting to order and a statement of its object, T. F. Ryan, clerk of the district read a short statement showing the condition of the district at the present time together with the estimates made for the coming year, according to which estimates a levy ol 8 mills would pay the present indebtedness and tun the school for the coming year. A resolu tion was introduced and carried making a levy of 6 mills. The opinion of the electors seemed to be that this would meet the expenses of the year and wipe out about half the indebtedness in curred during the past year on account of the inability of the district to levy any tax, and that it was better to do this than to try and pay for the two years' school by one year's taxation, especially as the times are so hard. Mr. H. L. Kelly, president of the board, having previously asked per mission to address the meeting, then re ferred to the action of the board in not retaining Mr. II. 6. Strange as princi pal of the schoel, which act he said had been misrepresented. Mr. Kelly then stated substantially as follows : "That in response to numerous complaints as to the management of the school the board had at that time directed the chairman to confer with the principal, stating that these complaints were being made and ChI ,shvs: "Shiloh's Catarrh Itmnedv is the first medicine I liaye ever found thut would ilo inn unv irood."

Well, the other day I met a lady acquaintance on the street, and after the exchange of the nsunl greetings she proceeded to condole with tne over the death of my wife. I wus dumfounded over her pathetic and pro fuse sympathy. When I recovered my senses, I ventured to enlighten the lady by assuring her that my wife was in the land of the living, well and hearty. The lady was astonished to learn that Mrs. , an intimate friend of my wife, who bad told her, could have been so mis taken. In less than an hour after cor recting this error I met another mutual friend, and she hud also been told by Mrs. that my wife had gone to that undiscovered country.

It was early in the evening when in answer to the ringing of the doorbell Mrs. opened the door. She pretended to be startled by my wife's presence and screamed: 'Why, Mary, can this be you?
