HE FORCES GATHER
Delegates Filing Into Taooma
for Republican Convention.
CANDIDATES ARE ALL ACTIVE

Seober Still la Itace.
TACOMA, "Wash., Aug. 18. An, unusual
ly terse number of delegates are already
at head for the Republican state conven
tion Wednesday. All the Gubernatorial
candidates, except Mr. TVlnk. of King
County, are on. the ground, and he -will
be here tomorrow -with a brass band.
Ex-Governor JIcGraw arrived early, and
with ex-Senator "Wilson was conspicuous
around the lobby of the Tacoma Hotel,
-working lrrtbe interest of the Xing Coun
ty candidate.
Ievi Ankeny came on tonight 5 train
from Walla Walla, with a large contin
gent of Southeastern "Washington dele
gates. C. C. Dalton, B. W. Ross. B. M.
Rands, George Dysart and other promi
nent leaders from the southwest have
been, here all -day, and Sam Nichols, Judge
McBride, A. J. 2tT. Huston and many oth
er delegates from the northwest were
among the first arrivals. It Is probable
that one-half the delegates have already
come, attracted by the extraordinary In
terest on the Governorship fight and col
lateral Issues affecting the candidacy of
every person who desires a state office.
One thing Is already obvious, and that Is
the purpose of delegations from many
counties, particularly Eastern. "Washing
ton and the southwest, to defeat Mr.
Prink If It can be done. It Is realized
that he has a very great advantage In
the solid support of both King and Spo
kane Counties', but Charles B. Hopkins
was "skinned" at Ellensburg last April
when he had behind him these same coun
ties, and the task of doing the same thing
for Mr. Frink does not seem impossible.
As It looks tonight. It Is quite within the
range of probabilities that Frink will lose.
The line-up of the counties, with their
delegates. Is about as follows:
Frtnk Douglas, 7; Ferry, 5; Jefferson
S: ICing, 63; Kitsap. S; Lincoln, 12; San
Jian, C; Skagit, 15; Snohomish. 2Q; Spo
kane, 89; Stevens, 9; Whatcom, 20. Total,
212.
Opposition Adams, 5; Asotin, i; Cheha
Jls. 14; Clark, 16; Columbia, 30; Cowlitz.
U; Franklin, 21; Garfield. 6; Island, 4;
Kittitas, 11; Klickitat, 30; Lewis. 17: Ma
son, 7; Pacific, 10; Skamania, 3; Thurston,
13; "Wahkiakum, 5; Walla Walla. 18; Whit
man, 23. Total, 18S.
Doubtful Chelan, 5; Clallam, 6; Okano
gan. ": Pierce, 44; Yakima. 13. Total, 75.
It will be observed that all the coun
ties in the southwest have been credited
to the opposition. (This on authority of
delegates themselves, who say It Is
their intention to maintain the old south
west combination and to agree on two or
more candidates for themselves. It is a
fact, .however, that the combination has
not yet been formed, and that the most
determined efforts will be mado by the
Frink people to prevent a union of these
counties. Pierce County has been classed
as doubtful simply because Tacoma Is
tor Cushman for Congress, and It Is not
at all certain what It will do as to the
Governorship. Much will depend on the
attitude of Cushman himself. It Is un
doubted that Pierce County does not want
Frink, and It does want to work in har
mont with the southwest combination.
There lies the source of Its present po
litical power and the promise of Its con
tinued prestige. But herculean efforts are
being made to drive Pierce County Into
line for Frink. The argument used Is
that If Seattle gets no Governor and no
representative In Congress, It is certain
to resent the slight by giving a large
majority for Ronald, the probable demo
cratic nominee. This contention is met
by Tacoma with the statement that cer
tain King County Republicans will knife
Cushman, no matter who is nominated
or Governor. If Cushman helps nomi
nate Frink, the Humes-Ankeny people
would have the same reason to object as
t'.e Frink people would have If he did
not help him. and one norn of the dilem
ma is Just as unpleasant as the other.
It Is noticeable that the Frink people do
not threaten to defeat Cushman for re
nomination. They feel sure it cannot be
done. So does Cushman and everybodj
else. They simply point out certain dis
agreeable things to happen to himself
at the polls If he does not do as ex
Governor McGraw and ex-Senator Wil
son require.
The southwest has a variety of candi
dates n.jJjfcQjg. Scobeyof Thurston, for
GevernorfK B. -SaKCftnm, of Clark, for
Lieutenant-Governor; O. W. Maynird, of
Lewis, 'for Treasurer; W. B. 'Stratton, of
Pacific, for Attorney-General, and Profes
sor Bryan, of Chehallst for Superintend
ent of Public Instruction. Judge R. O.
Dunbar, a candidate for renomlnatlon. Is
also from Thurston, but the southwest
leaders claim he properly belongs in
KllcklU. and his renomlnatlon should be
credited to that county. The only ob
stacleand it is serious enough to the
combination of these counties lies on rec
onciliation of the conflicting claims of all
these candidates. In failure to agree, the
Frink people hope to find their chance,
but the southwest has Invariably adjust
ed Its differences before, and Its leaders
s&T they will do it again. In the fact
that Lewis has a candidate for Treas
urer. and Whitman has another candi
date in John Lithrum, Is further room
for a misunderstanding In the opposition,
and the Frink managers have great hopes
Of capturing one of these counties.
S. G. Cosgrove is looming up strongly
as the Eastern Washington candidate.
He will doubtless get all the southeastern
counties, as well as Whitman, in case
John C Lawrence does not enter the
case.
Summed up, the situation tonight Is
that either Frink or Scobey or a dark
horse may .get the nomination. It is yet
anybody's race.

TONNAGE TAX RECEIPTS.
Lar&rer lor Past Fiscal Year Than
Any Year Since 1SS4.
Tonnage tax collections during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1900, amounted
to $890,482, compared "with $834,067 for the
previous fiscal year. The collections,
says the New York Journal of Com
merce, are the largest for any years
since 1SS4, when these taxes were reduced
to rates below those charged by tho prin
cipal European nations. American ves
sels paid $68,640 during tho year. The
penal tonnage taxes -on vessels of nations
not in treaty with the United States, eta,
were .unusually large, $36,712, as the
charges were necessarily Imposed on Cu
ban vessels until Congress granted re
llefby the act of February 10. The ex
cess charges on Cilban "vessels have been,
or "will be refunded under that act. By
the Hawaiian Territorial act, vessels In
trade between Hawaii -and the rest of the
United States since, June 14 are exempt
from tonnage taxes. Average annual re-
celpts of about $SO00 will thus disappear
hereafter. Collections at Honolulu and
sub-ports for two weeks In June, how
ever, on vessels from foreign ports
amounted to $1241. Congress also ex
empted trade between Porto Rico and the
United States from tonnage taxes.

STUDIED THE PEOPLE.
Boston Clerej'man Mingled With
the.) Lowly.
BOSTON, Aug. v 33. Rev. Charles Mer
rlam, of Highland Congregational Church,
of Lowell, Mass., a Yale graduate and a
former editor of the Yale News, In an old
suit of clothes and a flannel shirt, with
his belongings strapped In a blanket, left
his home on May 31 and roughed it for
three months, going from Boston to Port
land, Me., and from there to Colorado.
He -has just returned to his pulpit. He
mingled with the laboring folk, working
as a deckhand on a canal boat and re
sorting to conventional travel only when
ho had to. His aim was to study the
people.
One of his most interesting experiences
was on the canals of New York State.
At Troy he shipped on an old-fashioned
mule-power canal boat and went 352
miles. He lived In the crew's- quarters,
took a hand In all the work and learned
locking and steering. He says of his as
sociates: "Strange- men I found those people
these off-scourlngs of the earth. Coarse,
profane, even vile, yet under this rough
exterior I found often a marvelous
amount of mental capacity. Poor fellows.
They all want to get away from the
life, but they never do."
No greater crime Is known In China
than that of desecrating a graveyard.
Because graves are found everywhere In
China, the first railroad built there had
to follow a very circuitous route In or
der to avoid them.
In some cases the external signs of Contagious Blood Poison are so slight that the
victim is firmly within the grasp of the monster before the true nature of the disease
is known. In other cases thesblood is quickly filled with this poisonous viru3 and the
swollen glands, mucu3 patches in the mouth, sores on scalp, ulcers on tongue, sore
throat, eruptions on skin. coDcer colored 'splotches, and falling- hair and eyebrows
leave no room for doubt, as these are allunmistakable signs of Contagious Blood Poison.
Doctors still prescribe mercury and potash as the only cure for Blood Poison. These -poisonous min
erals never yet-made a completeand permanent cure of Contacrious Blood Poison. They
back into the system, cover it-np for a while, but it breaks out again in worse form. These powerful minerals produce mercurial
rheumatism and the most offensive sores and ulcers, causing the joints to stiffen and finger nails to drop off. Mercury and
potash, mako wrecks, not euros, and those who have been dosed with these drugs are never after free from aches and pain.
S. S. S. acts in an entirely different manner, being a purely -vegetable remedy ; it forces the poison out of the system, and
instead of tearing down, builds up and invigorates the general health. S. S. S. is the only antidote for this specific virus and
therefore the only cure for Contagious Blood Poison. No matter in what stage or how hopeless the case may appear, even
though pronounced incurable by the doctors, S. S. S. can be relied upon to make a rapid, permanent cure. S. S. S. is not a
new, untried remedy ; an experience of nearly fifty yeara has proven it a sure and unfailing cure for this disease. It is the
only purely vegetable blood medicine known.
Mr. H. L.-' Myers, leo Mulberry St, Jfewark, N. J., says : "I was aSicted with o terrible blood disease, which was In spots at first, bat afterwards

DECISIONS IN SIX CASES
SUPREME. COURT CONCLUDES EX
AMINATION OF APPEALED GASES.
One-Half Former 7 Decisions Were
Reversed, Two Modfiicd and"
One Afilrined.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 13. The Supreme
Court today handed down decisions in
the following appealed cases:
Jesse L. Stamper, respondent, vs. W. W.
Raymond, and J. B. Huntington, appel
lants, from Umatilla County. Stephen A.
Lowell, Judge; reversed and remanded.
Opinion by Wolverton, J.
This was an.action for malicious prose
cution. It Is alleged by the complaint
that on August 22. 1S30. the defendants
maliciously conspired together to ca'usc
the arrest and Imprisonment of the plain
tiff, with the Intent to injure him, and.
in pursuance thereof, falsely, malicious
ly and without probable cause. Instituted
criminal proceedings against him before
M. A. Ferguson, a Justice of the Peace
of Adams district, Umatilla County,
whereby they charged him' with having,
on August 21. 1S99. committed the crime
of assault with a dangerous weapon,
towit, a shotgun, upon the defendant,
Warren W. Raymond, and thereupon
caused a warrant to be Issued and. the
plaintiff to be placed under arrest and
Imprisoned for the space of 10 hours;
that thereafter, on August 2S, and after
a hearing and trial, tne plaintiff was
acquitted of said charge and discharged
from custody; that the costs of the pro
ceeding were taxed to Raymond and the
prosecution thereby determined.
The allegations of conspiracy, malice,
and want of probable cause were denied
In the answer, and for a further de
fense It was alleged that plaintiff did, on
said 23st day of August, 3S99, assault the
defendant. Raymond, with a dangerous
weapon, namely, a double-barreled shot
gun, loaded with powder and shot, and
should "be arrested, tried, convicted and
sentenced therefor.
The reply took Issue upon the allega
tions of assault, and, for a defense to
the, new matter, alleges that at the time
designated, the plaintiff was the owner
and In possession of 1314 sacksrof wheat
and 269 sacks of barley then on his prem
ises, and that the defendants wrongfully
and unlawfully attempted In the night
time to remove said grain against his
consent; that, for the purpose of prevent
ing such removal and protecting his
property, he took and had In his posses
sion a shotgun, which he held on his
left arm with the muzzle pointed away
from the defendants, and, without at
tempting to use It, he. directed them
to desist from further interference there
with, and that these are the same acts
alluded to In defendant's answer.
A trial was had before a jury upon tho
Issue thus tendered, and the judgment
being favorable to the plaintiff, the de
fendants appealed. The Supremo Court
says:
"To support the,-actlon. It Is necessary
to show that the prosecution complained
of was Instituted with malice and with
out probable cause. There are .two es
sential and distinct Ingredients, without
the concurrence of which It cannot ba
maintained. The prosecution may havo
been without probable cause, but If set
in motion without malice, there can be
no recovery In this action. So It is that,
with whatsoever malice the prosecution
may havo been conceived, If the prosecu
tor had probable cause for proceeding
with It, he does not thereby lay himself
liable for damages. To these Ingredients,
may be added a third, namely, that thfe
prosecution shall have terminated. The
burden of proof Is with the plaintiff to
establish all these essential elements If
he would succeed."
The opinion gives a lengthy review of
the evidence, which goes to show that
Raymond had leased Stamper a farm,
the rent to be paid in wheat: that if the
wheat was not delivered as agreed. Ray
mond might take the wheat at Stamper's
expense; that after part of the wheat had
been threshed Raymond thought he was
entitled to more than had been delivered
and went in the night to take it; that he
was met by Stamper, who carried a gun,
and -vvas ordered to desist. Tho crimi
nal prosecution followed.
Ninety-five assignments of error are
set forth on appenl. One of the most Im
portant errors found? by the Supreme
Court is the admission of testimony re
garding a transaction that took place a
year before the present controversy, the
object of which testimony was to snow
malice in the prosecution. The evidence
is held to be too remote. It is also held
that contradictory instructions were giv
en the jury upon the question of probable
cause for assault.
W. C. Stltes and C. M. Stltes, appel
lants, vs. James O. McGee, et al., re
spondents, from Josephine County, H. K.
Hanna Judge; reversed. Opinion by Bean,
C. J.
A decree In this case had been entered
by stipulation in the lower court and at
a subsequent term, but within a year af
ter the rendition of the decree, the de
fendants moved to set It aside, and for
permission to answer, on the ground that
the stipulation was made under a mu
tual mistake. The motion was allowed
and plaintiffs' appealed.
The Supreme Court holds that the lower
court erred In allowing- the motion. It
is held that the stipulation for a decree
Is in tho nature of a contract between
the parties and the decree cannot be
changed except by contract of both par
ties. "The only way it can be attacked
or Impeached after the expiration of the
term," says the opinion, "Is by an orig
inal bill, on the ground of fraud or mutual
mistake."
'Non She Po, appellant, vs. Wa Win Ta
La Yecht and Charles Wllklns, United
States Indian Agent, respondents, from
Umatilla County, Stephen A. Lowell,
Judge; affirmed. Opinion by Bean, C. J.
This was a contest for a 40-acre tract
of land In the Umatilla reservation. The
plaintiff claimed title by Inheritance from
George Pearson, her grandson. The de
fendant claimed to Inherit from the same
person, who was her son. The plaintiff
claimed that tho defendant had aban
doned Pearson1 while he was young and
that plaintiff having adopted him ac
cording to Indian customs was entitled
to inherit from him. The Supreme Court
holds with the lower court, that In Ore
doctors coaia ao me no good I naa spent a nunarea aouar.t, nmen was really inrown awav. i men
tried various patent medicine, bnt they did not reach the disease. 'When I had finished ray first
bottle of S. S. S I was greatly lajprored. and wa delighted with the result The large, red splotches
on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely I regained my
lost weight, became stronger, and ray appetite improred. I was soon entirely well, and my skin as
clear as a piece of glass."

this disease, with complete directions for self treatment. Our medical department ia

hesitate to write for anv information or advice wanted. We make no charge what

gon adoption must bo In accordance with,

toms, and that therefor the plaintiff coiud

John Mnttls. appellant, vs. Nelson Hos
mer. et aL, respondents, from Jackson
County. H. K. Hanna. Judge; modified.
Opinion by Moore, J.
This was a" suit to enjoin tho appro
priation of water from the west fork of
Foot's Creek, a non-navigable stream in
Jackson County, and to recover dam-
r ages for an alleged trespass. The ques
tion presented was one of priority oc
appropriation and adverse user of water
rights. The lower court decreed that
Hosmer was the owner of the ditch 1&
question, and entitled to the use, durlnat
the irrigation season, of one-half the
water flowing In the creek at the head
of the ditch, and during the mining;
season, to the whole thereof. Tho Su
preme Court modifies this decree by giv
ln? the plaintiff an undivided half of tha
water during the mining season.
Mary N. Eraison, appellant, vs. Tho
Owyhee Ditch Company, respondent, from,
Malheur County, M. D. Clifford. Judge;
reversed. Opinion by Moore, J.
This was an action for damages for
the loss of crops, alleged to have been
caused by the defendant's negligence In
permitting water from its ditch to over
flow plaintiff's lands. The trial resulted
In a judgment for the defendant, dismiss
ing the action, and the plaintiff appealed.
The Supreme Court reverses the case and
sends it back for a new trial upon the
ground that the lower court erred In giv
ing the Jury an Instruction regarding
contributory negligence when there was
no evidence tending to show that there
had been such negligence.
In the case of A. L. McFadden, re
spondent, vs. A. W. Swlnorton and John
II. Dickinson, appellants, and D. R.
Vaughn. C. Sullivan. Samuel Wyatt and
George P. Eglln. respondents; on motion
to modify decree and jpetltion for re
hearing. Former decree modified and pe
tition for rehearing denied. Opinion by
Bean, C. J.
The motion for modification of the de
cree Is based upon ex parte affidavits,
showing, or tending to show, that before
tho appeal was taken the clerk of tha
court below paid out the fund in con
troversy to the several claimants. In ac
cordance with the decree of that court
The opinion says:
"The right of appeal did not suspend
the enforcement o the dtcree, nor Just
ify the custodian of the fund in refusing
to disburse It in accordance therewith.
The court below might very properly have
made an order directing the clerk to re
tain possession of the fund a sufficient
length of time to enable the appellants
to rerfect an appeal. It did not do so,,
however, hence the clerk could, without
incurring any personal liability. In good
faith, pay over the fund to the parties
ontitled to It under the decree. But,
if the money was paid out before the
appeal, the appellants are entitled to re
cover from the other 'parties whatever
was wrongfully distributed to them.
. . . The decreed Is adhered too. except
an order will be made that appellants
be restored to whatever they have lost
by reason of the decree of the Court be
low, and the cause will be remanded
to that court for such further proceed
ings as may be proper."
Petitions for Rehearing Denied.
""Several petitions for reneanng were ue

Otis Savage from Wasco County, W. L.
Bradshaw, Judge. Opinion by Moore, J
Savage was convicted In 1S95 of- the
crime of robbing tha safe of the Pacific
Express Company,, at The Dalles, of
$14,000. He was found guilty and sen
tenced tq four years' Imprisonment in
the Penitentiary. He appealed to the
Supreme Court and was released on ball,
pending a hearing of that tribunal. Tho
case dragged along for .want of activity
on the part of the prosecution, until last
Fall when Attorney-General Blackburn
took up the case and secured an affirm
ance of the judgment. This repeal of a
new hearing In the Supreme Court ap
