Hfrn 11 H- Oregon i im nfri Curious? How, Beady A BAD DEFEAT GROSVENOR OUSTED BY HIS OWN DISTRICT AFTER 40 YEARS SERVICE. Got Not One Vote From His Own County Albert Douglas Nom inated on First Ballot to Succeed Him in Con gress Other News. Lancaster, O., Feb. 21. Albert Douglas of Chillicothe wa9 nominat ed for congress on the first ballot in the republican convention held here today to nominate a candidate to succeed General Charles H. Gros venor. Grosvenor did Dot receive a sfngle vote from his own county and did not get a solid vote in any county. and on ly 20 votes in the entire con vention. Although Grosvenor's retirement had been predicted, the old con gressman could hardly believe that he would be beaten. The defeat was plainly a crushing blow to him, although he took it with not much outward show of the emotion that shook him. Charles Henry Grosvenor is one of the war horses of the republican party and has stumped the country during every political campaign for 40 years. He began his political career shortly after the conclusion of the civil war; in which he served with distinction. He was a mem ber of the Ohio legislature from 1874 to 1878, and was speaker of the house for two years of this time. He was a presidential elector in 1872 and again in 1880. He was first elected to congress in 1884 and, with the exception of one term, when be met defeat in 189o. he sarved continuously since. lie played a prominent part in uot only state but national politico, nav og iiwhi own onampion m late Senator Hanna's right-hand men. He was the father of -the ship-subsidy bill and a warm advo cate of protective tariff. In the last congress he served as chairman of the committee on merchant ma rine and fisheries and was a mem ber of several other committees. He was famous for his ante-election statistics which got him the nick name of "the Prophet." Albert Douglas who was nomi nated today to succeed Grosvenor, is a lawyer at Chillicothe, where he was born in 1852. He is a gradu ate of Kenyon College and Har vard Law school. He was district attorney of Ross county from 1866 to 1880. He was presidential elec tor at large and president of the electoral college of Ohio in I896 and was supported by republicans of his district for the gubernatorial nomination in 1889. Washington, D. C, Feb. 2I Naval officers are much interested in the possibilities of results from the use of Bmokeless fuel. Import ance attaches to the use of such an article on account of its contribu tion to the secrecy of naval opera tione by means of invisibility. It has been an important requirement that there shall be as little atten tion as possible attracted to naval ships in operations in time of war, and it is for this reason that tbe deadest kind of paint is used on the i hulls of vessels and that smokeless powder has been adopted for the ammunition. With the dense smoke which pours from some of the fun nels it is easy enough to locate a ship under way; in addition to which smoke of this kind, when ships are in fleet formation, obscures signals displayed and might lead to confusion, if not disaster. Nat urally, under the circumstances, any prospect of obtaining a fuel which does not emit smoke will be of importance. The teBts whicbhave been conducted under the naval bu reau of equipment have promised important results, but they have not goue far enough to lead to final conclusions. Numerous attempts have been made in the past to find some meth od of doing away with the emoke from the coal used in firing, but the various flues and patent con trivances tried proved Ineffective In every single case. Bloomington, 111., Charles McAtee has for $2,000 damages Feb. 2O. brought suit against the Modern Woodman of America be cause the mechanical goat upon whice he was riding while being in itiated into the lodge at Arrowsmith qucked and injured him. The evidence in the case attract ed a large crowd. In his statement before the jury McAtee said that af ter being blindfolded he was lifted on the back of the goat. It imme diately commenced hopping about the ludgeroom, later bucking and throwing him to the floor and wound up by stepping upon him a few times aod then falling upon him.- He was rendered unconscious and still feels the effects. The lodge denies that be was hurt seriously. Portland, Feb. 22. The Journal says what is believed to be the high est price ever paid for iron ore was received yesterday' by the Oregon Iron & Steel Works when it sold the Willamette meteorite, found near Oregon City a number of years ago, to' the Smithsonian instftute for $20,000. Its estimated weight is 15 tons, equivalent to 30,000 pounds. So the price paid Is 66 2-3 centsja pound. The Willamette meteorite has proved a mystery to scientists ever since its discovery. It was removed at great expense and placed on ex hibition at the Lewis aodClarkfair. That it came from beyond the clouds there is r o doubt. But there is a difference of opinion as to how the great meteorite happened to be along the Willamette river. Some believe that it fell from the skies to the pbint where it was found, while others are confident that it was car ried there from the north during the glacial period. In Bupport of this latter theory it is pointed out that glacial marks are visible at the point where the big meteorite wss uncovered. London, Feb. 2o. Reports from various continental points fay that John D. Rockefeller was seen, ac campanied by detectives, in Italy. A Swiss paper declares be is in SwitZeriand. having been seen by American visitors. Other reports stale that he is preparing to go to Brazil. Denver, Colo., Feb. 2o. Detec tive Janvs McFarland today made the following statement regarding the alleged Orchard confession: "Harry Orchard, the man first arrested for the murder of ex-governor Steuaenberg, may have or may have not made a confession. I will not say whether or not he did make such confession as is attribut ed to him. "I was compelled, in working up my case, to use some of his state ments of others, but I did not call upon bim for a confession implicat ing Mover, Haywood and Petti- bone. Numerous efforts were made to intimidate the man into saying things about himself, but I refused to allow this. "Thirty murders in all I charge to Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone. Every one, whether it was in Colo rado since the labor troubles began in Telluiide less than five yearB ago or whether it followed in other states, was planned and executed by the fiends at the head of the or ganization." Baker City, Or., Feb. 2o. Steve Adams, the Colorado miner, arrest ed here last night and taken to rBoise today, is not wanted on any eiirge implicating him directly with tbe assassination of ex-Governor Steunenberg, but he is wanted for complicity in the blowing up of the depot at Independence, Colo. Adams was a member of the ex ecutive committee of the WeBtern Federation at that time. His ac quaintance with Orchard it is be-v lieved by the officers to be such that he can be used as a good wit ness for the prosecution in the mur der case, after which he will be taken to Colorado in connection with two or three others who will be oharged with the wrecking of the depot. Always Keeps Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in His House. "We would not be without Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy. . It is kept on hand contin ually in our home," says W. W. Kearney, editor of the Independent. Lowrv City. Mo. That is just what every family should do. When kept at hand ready for instant use, a cold may be checked at the outset and cured in much less time than after it has become ieUled in the system. This remedy is also without a peer for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, which can only be done when the remedy is kept at hand. For sale by Graham & Worthanu PURE FOOD BILL WHICH ADMITS OF NO ADULTERATION PASSES THE SENATE. Result of Fifteen Years' Struggle For Law Against Misbranding and Doctoring Three Per sons Charged With Murder of Steu nenberg. Caldwell. Idaho. Feb. al.Tf At torney E. T. Richardson, counsel j tor tne omciais ot tne Western Fed eration of Miners, anticipates this morning that he would force the state to Bhow its testimony against Charles H. Moyer, William D. Heywood and George A. Pettibone, be must have been disappointed. The three prisoners were brought to Caldwell early this morning from Boise.They were strongly guarded by deputy wardens and detectives. From some unknown reason, the officials feared that the citizens of Caldwell would give vent to their feelings, but they were mistaken. No matter what the sentiment was at the time of the assassination, it has quieted down and'now the ar rival and departure of the three men charged with having murder ed ex-Governor Steuenberg did not create a ripple among the residents here. In fact, it is doubtful wheth er more than a dozen knew that Moyer, Heywood and Pettibone had been brought here, so quietly was the thing accomplished. The train which carried the de fendants to Caldwell stopped at the county jail, about half a mile from the center of the town. They were taken to the jail aod locked up, while the attorneys went to the city aod made arrangements for the hearing. At lo o'clock they were brought befoje Probate Judge Church. Tbe information which was filed against the three men and which led to their being extradited was read by Judge Churcb. Petti bone was the fire? called upon to rise and as the words fell from the lips of the court, the prisoners beard for the first time that they were di rectly charged with having prepar ed and placed the bomb which end ed the life of the former governor of Idaho. If Pettibone were surprised at the nature of the charge against him he showed no signs. He stood in an easy position and kept his eyes glued upon the face of the court, When the last word was read he took bis Beat without saying a word. Heywood was next called upon to stand up. He is a powerful-built fellow and was the only one of the defendants to Bhow signs of the strain under which he was passing. He stood with his huge body bent toward the desk at which the judge sat, and his face blanched percepti bly a3 the reading went on. By the time the last word was read bis limbs were trembling violently. President Moyer was the last to hear the reading of the information against himself. Moyer is a tall, angular man, with a decided stoop to his shoulders. During the read ing of the stilted legal language of tbe charge to the other two men Mover appeared ill at ease, but waen it came to his turn he stood up without a tremor. He is the stoic of the three men, and before tbe court finished his face bore a bored expression. JNo plea was en tered by any one of the defendants, Attorney Richardson rose quick ly after the reading and announced that he was ready to proceed with the preliminary hearing. He ar gued that his clients demand this County Attorney Van Duyn Btat ed that he was not ready to go on with the hearing, and asked for a continuance. Washington, Feb. 21. After I5 years of more or less serious consid eration of the subjects, the sjnate today passed tne ideybura pure food bill by tbe decisive vo'fi Q! 63 to 4. .The bill makes it a misdcis&inor to manufacture or sell adulterated or misoranaea ioods, meaicina? or liquors in the District of Colombia, tbe territories and in tbe insular possessions of the United States and prohibits the shipment of such goods from one state to another or 10 a ioreign country, it also pro bibits the receipt of such goods. Punishment by fine of $500 or by imprisonment for one year or both is prescribed. In the case of cor porations, officials in charge are made responsible. Tbe treasury department and the depart partments of Agriculture and of commerce and labor are required to agree upon regulations for col lection and examination of the ar ticles covered by the bill, but no specific provision is made for inves tigation except by the department of agriculture. The investigations by that department are placed in the hands of the chief of the bureau of chemistry and if he finds that the law has been violated, tbe sec retary of agriculture is required to report the facts to the United States district attorney, who in return is required to institute proceedings in the Federal courts. The bill also defines foods, drugs, medicines and liquors and also defines the stand ards for them. There is an examn- tion for dealers who furnish guar antees against adulteration dna misbranding. Denver, Colo., Feb. 21. Evi dence that David H. Moffatt,- pres ident of the First National Bank of Denver and presinent of the Den ver, Northwestern and , Pacific road was slated for assassination at hands of plotters is said to be held by James McParland of the Pirik" erton agency. A bomb of the pat tern used in Russia was to be throwu at Moffatt, as he walked along the street. The dlotter lost hia nerve at the time scheduled for tbe assassination, as it would have been practically impossible for him to escape destruction with his vic tim. Moffatt was held responsible for the defeat of tbe strike at Leadville in 1896, and it is said that be was slated for death immediately there after. Dennis Sheedy, president of th Colorado National Bank, of Denver was also elated for destruction at the same time Moffatt was. He has large smelter interests in the state and iB an inveterate enemy if the federation. Sheedy is taken precautions for his safety, and h given the Pinkerton's all the assist ance in his power. William G. Evans, head of the tramway system, is in Ddnver. He is a partner of Moffatt. It is said that he was also marked but lucki ly escaped. Lame Back. This ailment is usually caused byrhenm-v tism of the muscles and may be cured by applying Chamberlain' Pain Balm two or three times a day and rubbing the parts vigorously at each application. If this does not afford relief bind on a piece of flannel slightly dampened with Pain Balm, and quick reliel is almost sure to follow, x or sale by Graham & Wortham. WITH THE OREGON. In Her Long Journey and Shells from High-Power Gan9 a Display. In the show window at Homine's grocery store is a display of more than ordinarv interest. It com- prises a number of curios from the United States Navy, picked np by trank Groves during his connec tion with the Bremerton navv vard. Among them are four cut- laeses from the battleship Oregon. wnich were in the vessel in her long trip arovnd Cspe Horn and her final arrival at Santiago in time to be chief destroyer of the Spanish fleet. The cutlasses are now out of use because late naval battles have shown him to be valueless. They are for use in boarding anoth er snip, and high power guns have made the old fashioned boarding tactics impracticable one ship al ways sinks the other or kills off all me ngnting men beiore they get near enough together for boarding purposes. Besides tbe cutlasses there are shells from the cartridges of four inch guns, six-pounders, four pounder and three-pounder ranid- fire machine guns. Common Colds are the Cause of Many Serious Diseases. Physicians who have gained a national reputation as analysts of the cause of various diseases, claim that if catching cold could be avoided a long list of dangerous ailmentf would never be heard of. Everyone knows that pneumonia and consumption originate from a cold, and chronic catarrh, bronchitis, and all throat and lung trouble are aggra vated and rendered more serious by each fresh attack. Do not risk your life or take chances when you have a cold. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy will cure it before these diseases develop. This remedy con tains no opium, morphine or other harmful drug, and has thirty years of reputation back of it, gained by its cures under every condi tion. For sale by Graham & Wortham. )
