The Iemocrats will hold their primaries Saturday, and their county convention March 3L It Is Impossible to make even a reasonably correct forecast of what the county convention will do on March SI. It may nominate a full ticket or It may only elcet delegates to the state convention and adjourn until about the middle of April, to put up the city and county ticket. Repre sentations having been made that there Is a prospect for a "citizens' ticket," on which the Democrats will have a number of places, some are disposed to put off the nominating convention unUl a late date to see what can be done. As the citizens' ticket would necessarily be a combination of Democrats, Populists and disaffected Republicans, it is not clear that anything tangible can be done-. Many Democrats and Populists favor a union ticket, composed of Democrats and Populists, which shall be officially llled aa the Democratic city and county ticket In this way the Populist organization will lose its IdenUty in Multnomah County. What favor this plan will find in the county conventions is altogether a matter of conjecture. Candidates are slow about announcing themselves The only county office for which there has been any lining up of candidates Is the Shrievalty. Those men tioned are D. M. "Watson, who ran two years ago; C. B. "Williams, D. Ix Houston and John Montag, the Democratic nomi nee for Mayor two years ago. Mr. Man- tag's friends say that he has built up a profitable business In the past two years, and that he Is not disposed to jeopardize it by running for office. Ex-Attorney-General George E. Cham berlain can have the nomination for Dis trict Attorney from the state convention if he will stand for the office. Ex-Munlci-pal Judge Alexander Sweek Is also named, but is more prominently mentioned for one of the circuit judgeships. The primaries will be held between 2 and 7 o'clock, Saturday afternoon. Judges and polling-places in the city follow, the election of clerks being left to the judges: First "Ward Six delegates. Polling-place, east side of Seventeenth street, between Thurman and Savier.

M," Retail Clerks Trying to Brinr One Recalcitrant to Terms. Tho sidewalk on the west side of Third street, between Morrison and Yamhill, la strewn these evenings, with cards read ing: "Don't buy anything after 6 P. M. except Saturday. Help the early closing movement and give the clerk his evening to devote to his family, friends or self improvement. Patronize only stores that closo at 6 P. M. (except Saturday)." The cards become more numerous in front of a dry goods and notion store near by, where early closing clerks are stationed on tho outside and late closing store keepers are ready for business within. One of the card distributors said last evening: "This Is the only store in the city that refuses to close at 6, and they havo gone back on us. At first, the pro prietors were willing, but they com plained that they could not make their rent unless they kept open until 9, so for the past two months they keep open and we distribute the cards. "The early closing movement," tho speaker said, "has been in existence for six months, and we are staying with the storekeepers who persist in refusing." There was no disorder either within or without the store, and the evening being wet, very few purchasers seemed to be out No pedestrian passed, however, without being handed a card, and some of these threw them away without read ing, others left them carefully on a pile of goods in front of the store, and still others took them away Into the light to seo what they meant Tho clerks main tained the best deportment and annoyed no passer by. u GASOLINE AT CAPE NOME. Standard Oil Company "Will Supply Enonffli for Miners' Demands. Prospective miners for Cape Nome, Alas ka, have been extremely anxious to know whether gasoline could be procured there for use in gasoline engines. The United States Government forbids the carrying of gasoline on any steamers carrying passen gers to Cape Nome. Miners have been extremely desirous to obtain this fluid, as the light gasoline engines are particu larly adapted to the purpose of pumping water out of shafts, etc. A letter received by the California & Oregon Coast Steam ship Company, In San Francisco, from the Standard Oil Company, sets the matter In lssuo at rest This letter states that It is that company's Intention to place as much gasoline at Nome as will meet the demand. Mission of a Xewspaper. The Dalles Chronicle. Rev. Mr. Sheldon's leading editorial, in the Topeka Capital, proves he is a crank. He says "the main purpose of the paper will be to influence its readers to seek first the kingdom of God." But this is not tho mission of a newspaper at all, any more than it is the mission of a scouring mill. The mission of a newspaper Is to furnish the people with a clean, healthy, truthful record of passing events.

Iarp?e Advance Snlc for Gadukl-BIs-phaxn-Damrosch. Concert Tonight. Artistic music lovers of the city crowd ed at the box ofllce of. the Marquam Grand Theater all day yesterday, asking for seats for tho Gadski-Blspham-Damrosch grand Wagnerian concert, which take place at the Marquam tonight. This is the star event of the musical season, and ex clusive circles will be out in full force. It is something In the nature of a com pliment to Portland's music-lovers that this celebrated trio has been brought here. The programme embraces the operas of "Wagner's "Nibelungcn Ring." The repre sentaUons will bo as follows: "Das Rheln gold," Mr. BIspham as Alberich; "Die "Walkure," Mme. Gadski as Slegllnde and Brunnhllde, and Mr. BIspham as "Wotan; "Siegfried," Mme. Gadski as Brunnhllde, Mr. BIspham as "Wotan; "Gotterdammer ung," Mme. Gadski as Brunnhllde, Mr. BIspham as Hagen. This programme should bo highly attrac tive, as these opportunities are not fre quent. As showing how Mr. Damrosch's Interpretation of "Wagner's Inspirations la appreciated, a leading critic of San Fran dsco says of Mr. Damrosch's lecture: "In the loving enthusiasm with which Mr. Damrosch has lent himself to tho labor of spreading understanding and ap preciation of Wagner's genius, he has tried to bo impartially devoted to all Its dramatic manlfestaUons. "Tristan and Isolde" seemed to insplro him with more ardent eloquence than any of the operad that had gone before. "It was in keeping with the spell which held his audience enthralled that when he had led up to the impassioned TJe bestod' which Mme. Gadski sang behind the scene, ho did not Interrupt the flow of melody by any announcement, but let her lovely voice melt into it, float upon it, and then soar above it in those en raptured strains in which Wagner gave Immortal expression to a great passion. "Of course., tho urgent audience Insisted upon seeing Mme. Gadski and testifying delight with applause and flowers, and when she sang Isolde's beautiful death song she remained in view. Uike those which have gone before, this audience, which was very large, gave a rapt atten. Uon to every word and note." a Snnnyslde Republicans. The Sunnysldo Republican Club will hold a public meeting In Hunter's Hall Saturday evening. No fixed programme will be arranged, but it will be a toclal meeUng.

Why That Thoronshfare Is a Prob lem for Property-Owners. The dry weather of the past week en abled the asphalt company to resume the work of repairing the pavement on Sixth street, between Everett and Gllsan, yes terday, and the patches worn by constant traffic were pretty well filled up. Tho foreman In charge of the work thought the pavement had been weakened along those two blocks by a leakage from the gas mains beneath, as team traffic is no heavier there than along some cf tho other blocks, where the asphalt resists wear better. The repairs are being paid for by the property-owners Interested, and the Im provement is entirely voluntary. One of these property-owners said yesterday that North Sixth street has been carrying more than its fair share of team traffic, as it Is the only thoroughfare being used by heavy team9 hauling to and from the freight depots and tho great wholesale houses of the city. "Our trouble in Port land," he said, "is that but one main street is kept in repair at a Ume, and so all the city travel seeks that street. In the East an asphalt-paved street would be considered a boulevard and only used for light driving, but here in Portland, the heavy trucks, dump carts, lumber wagons, stone wagons and everything of unusual weight are driven along the as phalt pavement of Sixth street. Fifth street, with its double street-car tracks, and Its rough Belgian block pave-stones, Is entirely given over to the car com pany, and so Is Fourth street, with its wood-block pavement, now rapidly going to decay. I wish the city authorities would provide several streets for traffic between the freight warehouses and the business section, and then wo Sixth-street property-owners would not bo compelled to do it all." DOLL MATINEE. Metropolitan Patrons Will Get Pres ents Xext Saturday. On Saturday next. Manager Jones, of the Metropolitan Theater, will present to each patron of the theater a doll. The play will be "Caste." one of the pretUest comedies on the stage. The stock com pany is handling the comedy very well. Mr. King, as Eccles, has made a distinct hit. Mr. Beauford, as Sani Gerridge. sup plies, in conjunction with- Georgie Coop er as Polly, the low comedy of the piece. The matinees at the Metropolitan are becoming very popular, especially the prize matinees. Mr. Jones has bought 1200 dolls, and proposes to give the chil dren each a pretty little plaything and at the same time give them an opportu nity to witness a very charming comedy that teaches a very wholesome lesson to tho young folks. i a h "Little strokes fell groat oaks."

Preparations for Jjast Service on Sunday Many Organizations 1V1U Join Details. Thirteen neat, -well-preserved', caskets, wrapped In the National colors and repos ing under a canopy of the same patriotic pattern, occupy a small space in the cen ter of the great drill hall at the Armory. They contain the remains of 13 men who marched away from Portland with tho Second Oregon Volunteers in May, 1S98. Ten bodies arrived yesterday morning on the Southern Pacific train, which practic ally completes the shipment of Oregon's soldier dead. There are several not re turned. The War Department has issued orders not to disinter the smallpox pa tients, although the deaa of all other con tagious diseases have been returned home, Including the yellow-fever patients from Cuba. "When the Southern Pacific train rolled into the depot at 9:15, there was a large delegation on hand to receive the bodies. Generals Beebe and Summers, with a num ber of Volunteers and one company pf tho Guard, commanded by Captain Von Egloffsteln, acted, with Eugene Shelby, representing Wells, Fargo & Co. Mr. Shelby kindly consented to deliver the 10 caskets received at the Armory immedi ately, where they were turned over to J. P. Finley for arrangement. Three wagons were required to convey them from the depot to the Armory. Company G formed aa military escort, while the Volunteers marched by the side. Placed In the Armory, the wo'oden cas ings were removed, leaving visible only the neat caskets, which, in turn, inclosed a hermetically sealed metallic casket. Ma jor Jubltz had suspended over the caskets a large flag belonging to the Guard, which formed a pretty canopy. Through the kind ness of W. C. Noon Sz Co., he wasalso able, to procure a dozen neat flags, one of which was wrapped around each cas ket, in military fashion. The T. M. C. A. also contributed in enabling the Major to decorate the halL Lieutenant F. S. Baker, Company F, was detailed to act as officer of the guard, and a detail from the companies volunteering to serve on this duty was mounted at the entrances and over tho caskets. Lieuten ant Baker will be in charge until this morning, as at no time, day or night, will the guard be removed until the caskets are placed on carriages for the burial cere monies. Other officers will alternate on duty, the same as the men during the period. Preparations for tho funeral Sunday are still progressing. Owing to the hour hav ing been fixed at 10:30 A. M. for the serv ices at the Armory. It will be necessary for those intending to take part who are members of churches to miss morning worship. Tho invitation committee stated that Governor Goer had been informed that it was the general consensus of opin ion that he should preside at the Armory. The committee desires to inform all of ficials, organizations and societies that they are welcome, as well as every other person interested. Formal invitation will not be extended, as the committee thinks it improper. It is a state affair, in which everybody is expected and is wanted to participate. The commander of the reve nue cutter Perry will be asked to Join, with his sailors and marines. If the com manding officers at Vancouver desire to Join, they will be cordially welcomed, which applies with especial force to the Washington Guard and Washington Vol unteers. The committee yesterday Issued tho following: AH persona, officials, societies and organiza tions within reach of Portland are cordially In vited to participate in tle services to be held Sunday, March 35, In this city, when, the hon ored eoldler dead of Oregon, lately returned from rorelen soil, are placed at rest In the bceom of their native land. The occasion will represent a state In mourning:, whose sorrow ing: people find renewed pleasure in. belne joined by all in honoring: the memory of those who died for their country. CHRIS BEXL. GEORGS F. TEIiFBR, "W. a NORTH. Many fraternal organizations havo ex pressed the purpose of Joining In the serv ices. Such of these as will take part In the procession through the city should notify Major Jubltz as soon as practica ble, that thoso in charge may make ample provision for all desiring to march. Wood men of the World have issued the follow ing notice to the members of that order: Attention, "Woodmen of tho "World: Members of all lodges of the city are requested to meet at the 'Woodmen's Hall, corner of Tenth and "Washington streets, Sunday at 12 noon, for the purpose at attending the funeral of our late Second Oregon Volunteers. The Woodmen propose to turn out over 300 men In the line. Red Men say they will have over 500. Other fraternal orders are at work, and assure as good If not better results. Professor Davis, principal of the High School, has excused all scholars who are members of the Guard and are needed for guard duty at the Armory while the bodies remain there. Mayor Storey Is diligently working to have the citizens of the oity make this the most impressive day known In Its history. He is still urg ing that, all flags should be kept at half mast while the bodies remain unburied, and la agitating tho dutjr of banking the This is the season of the year when housemoving and house cleaning are in order.

In regard to the occasion, the Mayor said yesterday: "All the churches of the city should duly observe the day of the funeral, when the state lays to rest her hero dead. This servlco Is one of the most patriotic that can be performed. Our boys left us strong, well and filled with hope and pride. Some have returned only to be placed for eternal rest In the land where they were reared. Every private citizen should feel It his duty to exert himself, and I would recommend that the various churches of the city hold suitable services on the occasion or Join in one grand cere mony at the Armory, in which every state of our social life may be found rendering the last tribute to those who have laid down their lives In gallantly defending the flag we all love so-well."

This was In tended to mean that he tendered to the Battery the horses used in his business, which was gladly accepted.

It la hereby ordered that, aa a mark, of respect to their memory, the National Has be displayed at half-staff over all armories throughout the state wherein are quartered troops of this brig ade, between the hours of sunrise and sunset upon the day above designated. 2. Commanding officers of companies will post a copy of this order conspicuously In their armories, and will cause a knowledge of Us contents to be promptly communicated to the enlisted men under their command. By command of BRIGADIER-GENERAL BEEBE. Official: GEORGE T. WILLETT, Assistant Adjutant-General. There were several flags at half-mast yesterday. On most of the public build ings they were so, and several citizens had over their premises this mark of respect. Today between 10 A. M. and noon and 2 and 5 and 7 and 10 P. M., the public will be admitted to the Armory, and during the same hours tomorrow. Mrs. Dr. Henry E. Jones, president of the Bed. Cross Society and the Emergency Corps, Informed the committees yesterday that the good women who have labored so faithfully for the soldiers are anxious to do what they can on the present oc casion. Some talk has been heard of set ting a lunch at midday for all the mili tary and the volunteers. This would be a task of Considerable magnitude, however, and as there will bo two hours between the morning services and the commence ment of the march, it has been said that all would have ample time to dine at home without putting -the women to the trouble and care. Mrs. Dr. Jones said her societies would take up the matter of decorations, particularly flowers, and anything else desired or possible. Parents of three of the soldiers have been rather aggrieved by statements that their sons have been among the un claimed. These are the families of Fred J. Norton, F. E. Rofeno and J. H. Fenton. All three of these families claimed their dead, had them shipped to Portland, and then turned them over to the state for burial in the military plot. This was done because the parents felt as their sons had fallen In the service of their country, they should have sepulture ln'the National or state cemetery. The families of many of the ten mentioned as "unclaimed" did not claim their dead for the same reason, as they were assured they would be given to tho state for burial.

Coykendall. the railroad builder, has been spending the past three months In California, accompanied by his wife. The couple returned to Portland yester day, and Mr. Coykendall says all South ern California wants rain as badly as It did last year, though that portion of the state north of San Francisco Is now car peted with flowers as a result of copious showers. At LosAngeles, only four Inches of rain have fallen about the same ea last year but the crop of tourists Is of fair average. V'ln Los Angele3," he said, "they count on 20,000 visitors, and each of these visit ors will spend an average of 52 50 a day during their 100 days' stay. This amounts to 130,000 a day, or $5,000,000 for the 100 days. The tourist crop, therefore, makes up for the farm crop failures to a great extent. "At San Diego no rain has fallen to speak of, and they are learning to depend entirely on irrigation. In the San Joaquin "Valley, the crop Is a failure again, except where irrigation is practised." SLEEPS NOW. Quit DrofiT Coffee and Uses. Postum Food Coffee. "While on a visit to a relative In New Hampshire, who runs a fruit farm, I found on the supper table what appeared to be a strong cup of coffee. I usually drank tea at night and they knew it, but asked me to try the coffee, saying it was Postum Food Coffee, and the reason they served it was that they found when they got u-p early in the summer mornings and drank a cup of coffee to brace up on, they gen erally had a headache or sick stomach along about noon, and that their grocer persuaded them sometime before my visit to try Postum Food Coffee. After a week's trial they adopted it for the fam ily, and had never returned to the ordin ary coffee, saying that it had worked a wonderful change In all of them no more sick headaches, no more sick stomachs. "For two weeks I used Postum, and when I returned to Boston I banished tea and coffee from the table forever. My complexion has made a decided change for the better, and it goes without saying that I feel greatly benefited. My nights are not sleepless now, as they were when I was a coffee drinker." M. E.
