Salem Notes. -
SA1TEM, May 22. In the Supreme Court
tpday one case was decided and one mo
tion for modification of decree was parsed
upon. The case decided was tbafjof Sam
Mackln, respondent, vs. the Portland Gas
Company, appellant, from Multnomah
County; Alfred F. Sears, Judge. In an
opinion -written "by Justice Bean, the
lower .court is reversed and the cause Is
remanded.
This was o, proceeding by mandamus to
compel the defendant to supply the plain
tiff with gas at his place of business,
107 Fourth street, in the City of Portland.
In the- court below a demurrer to the de
fendant's answer was sustained, and the
defendant refusing to answer further, a
peremptory writ of mandamus was issued
mmandlng the company to turn on the
fctts to the premises In question. 'The de
fendant having appealed, the Supreme
Court says:
'The only question on this appeal la
-whether the court below erred in sus
taining the demurrer to defendant's an
swer and ordering p. peremptory writ.
Briefly, the facts are that. In March, 1S97,
the plaintiff purchased gas of defendant
for use at 284 Morrison street, under a
contract which provided that in default
of the regular payment of a bill the com
pany would discontinue the supply until
payment should be made. Some time in
that month he quit using the gas and
left, as the defendant alleges, an un
paid hill of $5 25. Thereafter, and in Sep
tember. 189S. he again applied to the com
pany for gas to be used at 137 Fourth
street, and it was furnished him up to
November 11. when he was notified by
the defendant that unless he paid the old
fclll it would be discontinued. This he
refused to do, and the company cut off
the gas. Upon these facts the inquiry Is
whether the plaintiff le entitled to a writ
of mandamus to compel the defendant to
turn on the gas."
The Supreme Court holds 'that.a com
pany of this kind may he compelled to
furnish gas to all persons along its line
who comply with Its rules: that the com
pany may adopt reasonable rulea. which
would Include one providing that the sup
ply of gas may be discontinued if a cus
tomer falls to pay his bills when due:
end that in this case the defendant had
e right to discontinue furnishing gas at
one set of premises until payment should
te made of a delinquent bill for gas fur
nished at another. It le held that If the
plaintiff has paid or tendered payment of
the rates legally due, he Is entitled to
the writ of mandamus, otherwise not
Ellen Henderson, respondent, vs. M. "W.
Henderson, appellant, on motion to mod
ify decree, denied; opinion per curiam.
This was a motion to modify the de
cree rendered In the Supreme Court In
the above-entitled cause, so that it may
be entered against the surety on the under
taking for appeal, not only for the costs
and damages, but as well for the sum
of $1800, the amount of alimony which has
accrued against the -defendant under the
decree of the Circuit Court since the ap
peal was perfected. Held, that the appeal
Is from the decree dismissing the motion
for a modification of the original decree
granting a alyorce and alimony: that the
undertaking Is not broad enough to com
prehend the initial decree of the court
granting the divorce and alimony, ana
that the eurety is, therefore, not bound
for the payment of the accrued alimony.
Minor orders were made today as fol
lows: The French Glenn Livestock Company,
anDellant. vs. Alva Springer, respondent.
"ordered that respondent be permitted to
withdraw the testimony and exhibits In
this case for the purpose of copying cer

BncU From the Philippine.
Fred A. Ramsey, a son of Judge W. M.
Ramsey, of this, city, returned to Salem

ago. and arrived In Salem on the day
his term of enlistment expired. Ram
eey was a member of the Oregon's first

that have made that battle-ship famous.
By his faithful performance of duty he
has gained advancement to the rank of

Many fruitgrowers of this vicinity have
been awaiting with great interest the
outcome of the fight between the Call
Xorn.a raleln-growera and their president,
Theodore Kearney The feeling has been
general that the determination of the con
troversy would be decisive, on one side
at least, of the question whether a com
bine of producers can be made a success.
The announcement In this morning's Ore
Eonlan that the raisin-growers have ac
cepted the resignation of Mr, Kearney
was read with great satisfaction by those
Interested Jn the organization of the prune
growers. The facts of the case, as understood
here, are that President Kearney had
made a success of the ralln-growcrs'
combine and had become possessed of the
idea that the association could not live
"without him. He considered himself in a
position to dictate his own salary, and re
cently tendered his resignation, to take
effect unless his salary should be in
creased from STOO to J1000 per month, Aa
the growers here viewed tho situation. It
vrf a question whether the growers shall
eubmlt to extortion at tho hands of their
officers, as they always have at thp
hands of the produce buyers. The hope
has been generally expressed that the
raisin-growers would accept President
ICearnev's reripnRtVm and thus demon
6nite that th whole Is rrcatcr than any
of Its parts. The press dispatches for th
last few dsvs have been closely scanned
for news of the reesilt. and the announce
ment today gives reassurance to the grow
ers. Memorial Service.
The memorial services held in this city
Sunday wore unusual In several respects.
For the first time In the history of thoaa
organizations, the members of the local
Grand Array Past and "Woman's ReLef
Corps attended memorial services at the
Catholic Church. The exercises were con
ducted by Rev. W. A. Daly, of this city,
and Rev Fr. Casey, of Portland. This
was the first memorial service attended by
veterans of the Philippine War. The me
morial address, delivered by Father Casey,
was one of the most eloquent and pa
triotic addresses ever delivered in this
city on such an occasion. Once the
speaker was interrupted by a round of
opplaiwe, something very uncommon In
memorial services.
inrKe Load of "Wool.
One of the largest loads of wool hauled
Into Salem by a fanner was that brought
In yesterday by George Leabo, of Sheri
dan. The load contained 12 sacks, weigh
ing over two tons. The load was said
for nearly $S00. Local woolbuyers say that
the prices recently made public by thoee
who have sold wool are higher than the
market price. The sales to ibose cased
were made before the market had opened
and a price had been established. The
market Price, at present here is 17 cent?
for the best grades.
Aa Antl-FHsIen Speech.
Hon. J. B. Osborne, of Georgia, ad
dressed a mass meeting of citizens on
the streets of Salem this evening in the
interests of the regular Peoples party.
He gave his attention chiefly to the trusts,
money and imperialism, claiming In re
gard to each that the Democratic party
has never been Jn sympathy with Popu
llstic principles. He deprecated fusion as
a hindrance to reform, and severely scored
the Democratic party for Its position upon
the questions of money and expansion.
He contended that trusts are natural pro
ducts of the .evolution of society, and that
the ultimate reeult of that evolution must
be the organization of all the people in
one gigantic trust, controlling the great
utilities and means of production and
forming one great world-wide nation.
Mr. Osborne's address was principally
argumentative, but his arguments were
interspersed with witty Illustrations and
cutting earcasm that kept the audience in
pleasant humor. The Democrats were the
chief objects of his attacks, and that they
felt the force of his thrusts was evi
denced by the way they tried to make
light of his deductions.

"WjOOLMEN OPPOSE "TRAMPING."
Disapprove of Sheepmen Herdlnjp
Bands Close to Farm Settlements.
THE DALLES, Or.. May 26. The an
nual meeting of the Oregon Woolgrowers'
Association was held here Saturday. Af
ternoon and evening sessions were held
in the rooms of the Commercial Club, pre
sided over by President George A. Young.
Captain S. B. Ormsby, superintendent of
the Cascade forest reserve, and Supervisor
TV. H. H. Dufur appeared before the as
sociation and addressed them regarding
tho policy of the Government toward tho
sheepmen. After the address the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That the Oregon Woolgrow
ers Association most emphatically is op
posed to what Is known as 'tramping
among sheep bands; that this association
does not approve of sheepowners herding
their bands elope to farm settlements, or
upon lands held or used by other stock
men; that It is the intention of the mem
bers of this association -to move their
bands as expeditiously as possible direct
from their Winter ranges to lands allot
ted for Summer pasturage, and to refrain
from ipterferlng in any way with the
rights of others."
This resolution was made necessary by
the numerous complaints registered last
year by settlers near the line of the re
serve. Juno 15 was named as the date for
entry, which will also be the date this
year, and was mistaken by a number of
sheepmen, intentionally or otherwise,
whose arrival on the reserve limits before
the designated day, and their being re
fused entrance, necessitated their bands
being held on range necessary for set
tlers. Applications for allotments of pas
turage were presented to Captain Ormsby,
who will forward them to Washington
for approval.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year was as follows: President, F. N.
Jones;, secretary. F. W. Wilson; treas
urer, D. M. French. A number of pew
members were admitted to the association.

prune crop throughout this county, many
orohardlsts In different localities report

fruit they will stand up under. There are
several other orchards In the Lake Shore
district which will yield average crops.
Good reports also come from the fruit
district around Washougal, where -ur.
Cattingham will have a full crop on
a 20-acre orchard, amounting to more
than a carload of prunes, and several oth

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD P01
.Contagious Blood Poison is the most deCTadinjr and destructive of all diseases, as it vitiates and corrunts the entire system.
xac iirsi sore or uicer is iouowea oj iiiue rea pimpies on tne Dody, moutn ana throat become sore, tne
glands enlargeand inflame, copper colored splotches appear, and hair and eyebrows fall out. These arc
some pf the mtjder symptoms ; they increase in severity, finally attacking the vital organs ; the body is
tortured with rheumatic pains and covered wirJi offensive eating sores.
It is a peculiar poison, and so highly U Jtagious that an innocent person handling the same articles
used by one infected with this loathsome disease, may be inoculated with the virus. It can be transmitted
from parent to child, appearing as the same disease or in a modified form like Eczema or Scrofula.
Many an old sore or stubborn sk:n trouble appearing in middle life, is due and traceable to blood
poison contracted in early life. You may have taken potash and mercury faithfully for two or three yeara
and thought you were cured, but you were not, for these poisonous minerals never cure this disease ; they
drive it from the outside, but it is doing its work on the inside, and will show up again sooner or later.
You may not recognize it as the same old taint, but it is. S. S. S. has cured thousands of cases of
Contagious Blood Poison, and it will cure you. It is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known,
and the only antidote for this poison. S. S. S. cleanses the blood thoroughly of every particle of the
poison there is never any return of th disease.
