STOREY BUYING "B002E"
HIS HOS'ORA REFORM CANDIDATE
NO LONGER.'
Showing!! Hand in the Nortti End
Work of. Central Committee
Fusion Men Are Lltle.
Mayor Storey's effort to break Into the
good government camp and pose as a
disciple of reform having conspicuously
failed, he haa gone to the other extreme
and i buying beer for the rounders In the
North End at a rate which he evidently
thinks will make him solid In that quar
ter of the city. He is out every night
making a good fellow of himself, and Is
particularly zealtfus In distributing the
pensive photographs which he had taken
for the purpose of compelling the admi
ration of all beholders. Callers at the
City Hall usually find his chambers
empty, and -when they inquire where the
Mayor is, the officials of whom they make
Inquiry shrug their shoulders and observe:
"Politics."
That Is usually all the reply that Is nec
essary. During thejearly part of the cam
paign, the Mayor spent much of his time
among the mills, where he believed himp.
self unusually strong, and -where he
hoped to get all the -votes of the working
men. Somehow hedld not succeed very
well in the role of a friend of labor, and
he has now shifted the scenes of his op
erations to the saloons, where he finds
fewer worfclngmen. but more people who
toll nor spin not, but who are willing to
Jake off their hats and chper for him
when he puts up the money for the drinks.
He says he Is going to be the next Mayor,
and that he has a card up his sleeve, but
ho doesn't say whether the card Is a
deuce or' not. He has even, It Is assert
ed, announced the names of the men he
-will appoint on the Board of Public
"Worka, and has assured the denizens of
the North End that things will be all
right when he Is elected. Just how he
expects to make things all right, over
the heads of the Police Commission, with
whom he will have nothing to do, he does
not say.
Joe Meyer, Independent candidate for
Councilman in the Third "Ward, and one
of the solid six through whose efforts
Storey landed In his present office. Is one
of his" warm supporters, but Fred T.
Merrill, another Independent candidate for
the same office. In the same ward, Is not.
Storey assured Merrill of his undying
support, told him he (Merrill) -was just
the kind of a pushing, enterprising busi
ness man that was needed in the Coun
cil, and promised him. that nothing would
be left undone for his election. In a day
or two Merrill found that Storey had sung
the" same song to Meyer, and given him
a further promise of support for "Auld
Lang Syne." It Is also stated that Storey
publicly informed several of the friends
of W. F. Burrell. Republican candidate
for Councilman in the Third "Ward, that
It was representative young men like
Burrell, men who represented property
and whose Interests were the city's, who
were just the kind needed in the Council,
and that none would be more ready to
welcome them there than the next Mayor,
a dclicato allusion to himself. These
things angered Mr. Merrill, when they
reached his ears, and he is not now a sup
porter of the Mayor's candidacy.
DOING GOOD WORK.
Effective Methods of Republican
Stnte Central Committee.
Although the Republican State Central
Committee has received no money -with
which to prosecute an aggressive cam
paign In Oregon, it Is conducting its work
systematically, and the returns from vari
ous parts of the state show that its ef
forts are bearing fruit. Campaign litera
ture has been sent out in liberal quanti
ties, and Is being placed where It will do
the most good in the hands of the vot
ers. Although the campaign has been
quiet throughout the state, there Is a
general disposition to study the issues
that are at stake In both the state and
Presidential elections, and the demand for
literature Is almost unprecedented. The
committee has sent out nearly all of the
supply on hand, and will have soon to
call on the Congressional campaign com
mittee for a fresh stock. Questions rela
tive to our new possessions are now up
permost In the public mind, having largely
supplanted interest In the currency Issue,
and a larger number of the speeches of
the ablest men In Congress touching upon
this subject have been disseminated.
Nearly all of the cities in the state are
arranging for big Republican demonstra
tions, and have applied to the central
committee for speakers. In many cases a
preference for some is ell-known man is
expressed, and it Is always the desire of
the committee to send the man who Is
asked for. Other towns merely want a
good speaker, and they always get one,
for there are plenty of men in the Re
publican ranks who are willing to give a
little of their time to the Interests of their
party and thoe of the Nation at large.
George C. Brownell, C. W. Fulton. S. C.
Spencer, C. A. Cogswell and a number of
other men -have been stumping the state,
and report that there Is a strong prepon
derance of Republican sentiment every
where. The Democrats are generally apa
thetic, taking no particular interest in
the state campaign, and being only luke
warm In their support of Bryan. A few
candidates have been out to sound the
sentiment In the party, but are not enthu
siastic over the result of their journeys.
SUCCESS IS ASSURED.
East Side Republicans Will Hold n
Rousinrr Rally.
The success of th big rally of the Re
publicans of the four East Side wards, to
be held in Gomez' Hall. Tuesday. May 22,
Is already assured. Every club of the
East Side, with the exception of the dis
credited Roosevelt organization, will be
there, and will assist in making the event
one of the biggest ever held In Port
land. The place of meeting Is Gomez
Hall, Alblna, which is amply large to hold
tho crowd that will be there, and is con
veniently located with regard to street
car lines.
A number of well-known speakers will
be heard, and will discuss issuej which
are of Interest to every voter in the city.
Good music will be furnished, and the
programme will be so arranged as to
please the audience and give them an op
portunity to spend an enjoyable and prof
itable evening. The committee of ar

LISTLESS CAMPAIGN.
Nothing Done Toward Supporting
Fusion TieUct.
Apparently nil that Is being done to fur
ther the Interests of the hybrid Legislat
ive ticket Is being done by the candidates
themselves, and they are doing it in a
spiritless and half-hearted sort of a way.
There have been no Fusion meetings, and
there are no Fusion clubs. Although some
of the independent candidates have suc
ceeded In breaking into one or two Re
publican meetings, the Fuslonlsts have
had no such luck, and tho only way they
can can attention to their alleged plat
form Is to buttonhole their friends on the
street and force copies of It upon -them.
None of them are sure of success, only
one or two of them think there is a fight
ing hance -tor It. Judge Thomas O'Day,
who fathered the ticket In the Democratic
convention. Is doing nothing to help It
along, and has apparently sunk into a
state, of innocuous desuetude. Some of
the candidates may be seen on the street
now and then talking Industriously to a
few friends, but they seem unable to get
the Democratic organization to help them
along, and plainly feel that they are lead
ing a forlorn hope.
Goose Hollow Republicans.
The Goose Hollow Young Men's Repub
lican Club held another one of Its enthus
iastic meetings last night. A good-sized
crowd greeted the speTkers, and the aud
ience -was entertained with good vocal
music by the nev Hoodoo quartet, and
Joe Kelff, a member of the club. John D.
Mann -was Introduced as tho speaker of
the evening, ind addressed the joung
men at great length upon National ques
tions, and exhorted his hearers to sus
tain the policy of expansion and sound
money by voting the entlro Republican
Legislative ticket. The other speakers
were Edward Werleln, George Stapleton
and S. C. Beach.

decided to make his future home. His wife and daughter are with him. and have already fit
ted up a home at 472 Tamhlll street. General Burke is well known'in this city, having ben
Inspector-General of the Oregon National Guard while stationed at Vancouver Barracks la
1MX). A little later he .icld the same offlco in the Washington National Guard, and his dili
gent sen Ice with both organizations iron him many friends.
Genernl Burke entered the sen ice In June. 1S3S; was appointed Second Lieutenant Second
Infantry in July. 1SG2; became Captain In the Forty-fifth Infantry in 1SC7. and on the re
organization of the army was transferred to the Fourteenth Infantry in 1SC3. He was sta
tioned at Vancouver Barracks for several years, while the late General John Gibbon com
manded the Department of the Columbia; was made Major of the Twenty-third Infantry In
August. 1S04; Lieutenant-Colonel of the Eleventh Infantry in 1807; Colonel of the Seven
teenth Infantry in September. 1800, and Brigadier-General. U. S. A, in October, 1803, when
he was placed on the retired list at bis own request, after 40 years' service, under section 1,
act or June 30. 1SS2.
General Burke was brevetted Major during the Civil War for gallantry at Gettysburg,

held a week from tonight. The old Me
chanics' Pavilion, on Third and Clay, has
already been secured for the occasion,
and the addition of a number of arc
lights have been contracted for. It Is the
Intention of the club to have the big meet
ing of the year, and It will probably be
so. In the campaign of 1ES5, the same
club held a rally In the old Congregational
Church, on Second and Jefferson, which
can be taken by tKose who remember as
what to expect next Wednesday.

TWO HOLD-UPS.
Footpads Operating on Both. Sides
-of the River.
Two daring hold-ups took place last
night The first was near Grand avenue
and East Burnslde street, In which a Mr.
Williams, -working In a grocery store la
the Burkhard block, lost a fine gold
watch. Both of the highwaymen wore
masks, presented pisjols and demanded
all the groceryman possessed, which he
turned over to them. Fortunately, his
loss In cash was much lighter than the
victim of tho footpads on the West Side
about an hour later. The East Side hold
up occurred at 10:30.
At 11:40 Bruce Kaltz, In the mailing and
advertising department of the Meier &
Frank Company, and one of the well
known members of the Second Oregon
Volunteers, was told to starid and deliver
whllo passing the corner of Sixth and
Taylor streets. Mr. Kaltz gazed calmly
down the muzzles of two revolvers of
large caliber, while the highwaymen took
from his pocket between $4 and S in
money and a gold watch that he treas
ured highly. His last cent gone, he po
litely asked tho highwaymen if they
would lend him 5 cents on which to ride
home, but he was told that he was a
husky fellow -who could walk the distance.
Neither of these two fellows was masked,
but it is the belief of the officers that
the same men did both jobs.

E. T. Judd, while In Japan on his re

and works of art. which ha has In his
rooms In the Judd block. There are ex
quisitely carved figures In Ivory, show
ing the skill of the Japanese carver. One,
in particular. Is very interesting In that
It illustrates the small compensation ex

is a delicately carved ball of two Inches

TWO NEW YORKERS. N
One Gives the Other a Unndy Lift.
Mr. E. C. Hazard, one of the oldest and
best-known wholesale grocers In New
York, has for many years given his at
tention to the preparation of fine food del
icacies. He has a farm and experiment
station down on Staicn Island, where the
famous Shrewsbury Ketchup, Burnt Onion
Sauce, Shrewsbury Mushrooms and other
delicacies are prepared In a most skill
ful manner.
One evening last Autumn, while on his
way home, Mr. H. sstt with iOne of the of
ficials of the N. J. C. Railroad, who
seemed to be living with one foot In tho
grave stomach so badly disordered that
nothing would digest It seemed only a
question of a few weeks, at most, when
death would come.
"Mr. Hazard Insisted upon taking the
gentleman to his housa and giving him a
package of Grape-Nuts breakfast food,
which Is manufactured by the Postum
Cereal Company, at tho pure-food factor
ies at Battle Creek. Mich., a food which
Mr. Hazard had besn using nt his own
table for a long tlm3, greatly to his ben
efit "Ho told the gentleman that he could
get well In a few -Greeks by the use of
perfectly prepared food of this eort, and
would never forget the day when he first
tried Grape-Nuts. The prediction came
true; the official Is pot only alive today,
but Is In better health than he has expe
rienced for many j'tiars, all of which he
attributes to ihe us of Grape-Nuts and
from the advice of Mr. Hazard."
There are two reasons for this. In the
firet place, Grape-Nuts are made from cer
tain selected portions of wheat and barley
that contain phosphate of potash and
albumen which Nature uses in the hu
man system to make up the' gray matter
In the brain and .nerve centers through
out the body.
The nervous system directly controls
the digestive machinery arid the brain
controls the workin? and xaoney-maklng
power. Mr. Hazard knows this, from his
knowledge of foods and from his own -experience
with Grape-Nuts, Therefore -when
he took the railway official in charge, he
knew exactly what he was doing, and the
result proved tho correctness of his
j knowledge.

a clock 180 years old, which Mr. Judd
found In a Japanese curio shop. The
clock is two feet long, about two inches
wide, and one and one-half Inches deep.
Its mechanism Is very peculiar. Instead
of by a dial with hands, the time Is told
by an Indicator that moves downward
along the side of a strip on which are
the figures from one to twelve, with the
half hours also shown. The striking con
trivance Is In the weight It must be
wound up every twelve hours.
Mr. Judd was assured by the Ameri

ably as old as was cla'lmed, 180 years.
INVESTMENT PLAN.
Million In Great Northern Stoclc for
Employes.
Bomo time ago the Great Northern per
fected a, plan, to. enable Its employes to
acquire stockln the company for Invest
ment To carry out? the scheme, ?1.000,000
In stock Is set aside, againstwhlch cer
tificates are Issued In multiples of $10.
Upon these certificates the holders will
dr&TV 7 per cent Interest In dividends as
often as they are declared. An employe
may buy certificates to the amount of
$10 and upward, according to his mean?,
provided he has 'been In the employ of
the company three years and Is not re
ceiving more than 53000 per year for his
services. Should he sever his connection
with the road or wish to -withdraw his
investment he may do so at any time,
receiving the full amount of the dividends
accrued at that date. He has no interest
In the premium value of the stock, and
In this he is more fortunate than the
stock speculator, for his returns are as
great on the par valuation of the stock
at $100 per share as 1 that of the specu
lator who pays $155 per share. The pre
mium pays no dividend in either case.
The scheme offered by the Great North
ern to its 15,000 employes Is to encourage
them to cave their money and to -Insure
them a safe Investment at a high rate of
Interest
