N SENATOR FAIRBANKS WILL SPEAK Indiana Statesman "Will Probably Be In Oregon This Month Promi nent State Speakers. The headquarters of the Oregon Repub lican State Central Committee will be opened today for the Presidential cam paign. The rooms are Ave In number, on the sixth floor of the Chamber of Commerce, and are admirably adapted to the committee's needs. They comprise a large central entrance room, with com municating rooms to the east, fronting on Third street, for the chairman and secretary, and western rooms for litera ture and mailing purposes. Chairman Steel, who has been in tha Cascades for a short outing, returned yes terday, and will give has personal atten tion to the campaign, until election day. He has been In frequent communication with the National Committee, and has endeavored to Impress upon them the need of proper help to get out a full vote In Oregon and secure a satisfactory ma jority for McKInloy and Roosevelt. Secretary Dunlway has been doing much correspondence with the Western Repub lican headquarters, at Chicago, and with county committees and secretaries, with a view to having as effective work done as possible in the way of circulating lit erature upon the issues that are promi nent, and providing speakers to suit the desires of different communities. He flnds a. -widespread. feeling' or contentment over the outlook, and says the chief danger in Oregon is the over-confldence mani fested by Republicans throughout the state. Secretary Kennedy, who has been in a number of counties, reports a very much better feeling among Republicans than in 1KH5 and is confident that with hard work a good majority will be re corded. The committee is disappointed because Roosevelt is not to come to Oregon, but is pleased that Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, will make speeches in the states of thq Pacific slope. Including Oregon. Kis dates are not yet settled, but it is probable he will be at Portland about the middle of September, and then pro ceed to Puget Sound to help In the ngnt in Washington. It Is probable, also, that Oregon will have four or five speeches the last week In the campaign by Hon. John Barrett, late United States Minister to Slam. He will speak in Southern and probably Eastern Oregon. Other Repub licans or prominence are promised the committee from the East. Many well-known Oregon speakers have notified the committee of their readiness to participate in the canvass, and It seems that vigorous stumping will mark the last six weeks of the campaign. Judge George H. Williams. Governor T. T. Geer, Hon. Thomas H. Tongue. Hon. C. W. Ful ton. Hon. G. C. Brownell, Hon. Tilmon Ford, Judge J C. Fullerton, Hon. Wallace McCamant, Hon. O. F.

Bids for Itcdeckins Steel Bridge New Tenders Appointed.' At the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners yesterday bids for putting a new deck on the upper roadway of the steel bridge and approaches were opened. The bids submitted were five In number, as follows: Pacific Bridge Company $6170 24 Robert Wakefield 70CT pr Joseph Paquet 7134 42 L. C. Shorno SO00 00 Land & Manning 8561 42 The bid of the Pacific Bridge Company being the lowest, the contract was award ed to it. The specifications for the job call for the clearing away of everything down to the steel framework of the bridge, laying a new deck, with new stringers, etc., and widening the sidewalks one foot on each side, the work to be done so that car traffic across the bridge can be main tained during Its progress. R. D. Davies, brldgetender on the Burn-side-street bridge, was removed, and C. R. Fleming appointed in his place. Harry Stewart was appointed gateten der on the Morrison-street bridge.

The Commissioner concluded that it was not safe to leave the bridge In charge of only one man. and so appointed another to look after the gates. The Commissioners, on Inquiring Into the matter of Deputy Sheriff Wagner act ing as Deputy Constable In Justice Kxae mer's court, found that, for the present, at least, there was too much work for one man to do, and Wagner's salary of $75 per month will be paid, until it is plain that one man can do the work, when his salary will at once be stopped. It was found that Constable McNamee de voted most of his time to the duties of his office, and attorneys complained that one man could not do ail the work. A communication was received from George Usherwood, tendering his resigna tion as janitor at the Courthouse, where he has been employed for eight years. It Is understood that his resignation was asked for. --- ooooa. TWO SUDDEN DEATHS PASSING AWAY OF DR. F. A. MEYER AND CHRISTIAN S CHUM AN. ATE TOMATOES IN '36. Fifty Years Aro They "Were a Com mon Article of Food1. MONTAVILLA, Or., Aug. 30. (To the Both Were Found Lifeless in Their Homes One Case of Apoplexy and One of Heart Disease. Two men died while sitting upright in their homes In Portland yesterday. One of these, Dr. F. A. Meyer, sat by the bed of his delirious wife. The other. Christian Schuman, was found dead, sit ting on his own sofa. The sight of a dying man sitting up right In a rocker by the bed rom which It was expected his wife would never rise so overcame Mrs. Carlson, the good neighbor nurse, that she is almost 111. Mrs Meyer has been 111 for about two months. For 11 days she has not left her bed. Her husband, a physician, who has practiced In Portland for a long time, thought she was suffering from typhoid fever. At last Mrs. Meyer' became de lirious. Her illness became very serious, and It began to appear that she would not recover. Dr. Meyer never called in any other physician. All day Mrs. Carl son nursed the patient, and at night the doctor himself sat up with her. He would come home about C or 7 o'clock, when Mrs. Carlson would go to her own home, until between 9 and 10 o'clock rthe fol lowing morning. Then she would relieve the husband. Friday night when Dr. Meyer came home he seemed unusually cheerful. The fatigue of the night work did not seem to have made any Impression, although he was a man of CI years. Knowing that he must be tired, Mr3. Carlson vol unteered to take the night vatch for him, which offer he cheerfully declined. Be fore she left the house he manifested quite often the cheerfulness that seemed unusual since his wife's serious afflic tion. Yesterday morning, shortly after 9, Mrs. Carlson went to the house as usual. She rang the bell, but there was no answer. She repeated the alarm, with the same result. Then she went around the side of the house and peered through a win dow., The lamp was burning, which ex cited her suspicion. Thinking the doctor might be sleeping, she went home, and returned shortly again. -No response was made to her knocking, and she secured the assistance of a neighbor and entered the house. What she saw there com pletely unnerved her. By the bed where attention. The Coroner arranged thing3 as best he could, aided by Mrs. Carlson. Professor F. A. Schwabe, Dr. Meyer's step-son, who was at Astoria with his wife filling a musical engagement, was telegraphed immediately, and came up on tho evening train. This was the only relative known by friends of the de ceased. Dr. Meyer had sustained the stroke probably a short time before Mrs. Carl son called. Mrs. Meyer had received due attention during the night. Things in the house did not indicate that he had pre pared his breakfast, but from the fact that he was dressed and apparently ready to go down town, It is assumed that he had finished his night vigil and was merely preparing to give place to Mrs. Carlson. Probably the little effort of fill ing and lighting his pipe was the Imme diate cause. Deceased has lived in Portland about CO years. He was born In Bremen, Ger many, In 1S39. Many years ago, when Portland was visited by an epidemic or smallpox, he did work as a physician that is remembered by all old residents. At that time he acted as City Physician and valiantly fought the dread disease In later years he was elected a member of the Legislature from Multnomah County. His main work has been as editor of the Staats Zeitung, the local German paper, with which he has been connected since 18S2. In 1895 ho bought the paper and was ,the manager until June of this year, when ho disposed ot It, 'retiring from business. His home at 1028 Front street was the scene of his death. , , Sadden Death of Christian Schuman. Coroner Rand was summoned to 379 Chapman street, early yesterday morn ing, whero Christian Schuman had been found dead. A -neighbor calling at the house saw him through the window sit ting on a lounge, and, knocking at the door, failed to attract his attention. En tering, he was found seemingly sitting In a. faint. She cast a cup of water In his face, but failed to revive him. Dr. Rand found that he had been dead over an hour. In the kitchen the stove was warm, and a cup of coffee half drunk seemed to indicate that he had been seized with a sudden faintness, and hud gone to rest on the lounge. Heart dis ease was the cause of death. Christian Schuman was 6S years old, and lived with his wife near Mount Scott. He was tak ing care of the house of his son, Louis Lu Schuman, on Chapman street, whlla the latter was away at the. beach with his family. Th members of the family wore notified, and arrived last evening from Astoria.

FIHED FOR ASSAULT. Thumpson. Fattier and Son, Held to Be Technically Guilty. R II. Thompson, Sr., and R. H. Thomp son. Jr., -were each fined 515 in the Mu nicipal Court yesterday for an assault on Thomas Connell. of which Judge Cameron found them guilty Tinder the law, although no violence had been Inflicted upon Con nell. In giving the decision. Judge Cam eron reviewed th? testimony, showing that both of the Thompsons had been re strained by force from violence toward Connell, and he cited cases showing that under the law an assault could be com mitted, even if the acts of violence at tempted did not reach the object of tho atinck. The intention to commit an as sault, the attempt itself, even though un successful, whereby a man of firm mind wrs convinced that he was in danger of bodily injury, were all considered as as saults In the moaning of the law. "In the Thompson case," the Judge continued, "there was direct evidence In troduced by reliable witnesses who had forcibly intervened between the Thomp sons and Mr. Connell, and that the affair had taken place whllo Mr. Connell was going quietly up Sixth street As to the charges of threatening to kill against them, in view of their standing In the community, I shall dismiss those charges."

DR. F. A. MEYER. Editor.) I read In yesterday's Oregonian about the tomato. The man that lived in Illinois about 50 years ago and was whipped by his father for eating the "love apple" must have lived down In Egypt where they voted for General Jackson until the great rebellion. I lived in Pe oria County, Illinois, and my folks raised and I helped eat the "love apples" In 1836, and I never heard them called poi sonous. Fifty years ago the tomato was In general use over a great portion of the Northern States. CHARLES WATERS. tossed the delirious wife, sat the doctor, in a helpless condition. He had suffered a stroke of apoplexy, and his visage re vealed to the horrified woman that life was nearly extinct. On his loose shirt front lay his pipe, freshly fillea with tobacco and barely lighted. One hand rested on the bed, and the other hung limply by his side. Physicians were summoned with all pos sible haste, but Dr. Meyer never re gained consciousness. Death came about noon. Mrs. Meyer was removed to the hospital, where she can receive the best New Ordinance to Go Into Effect To dny. A large number of inquiries have been received by the officials at the City Hall during the past week in regard to the new vehicle-license ordinance which goes into effect today. The new license tags have been received, the books and para phernailia are ready, and the license offi cer will be ready to issue a license to the owner of every vehicle in the city for the four remaining months of this year. Those wishing to secure licenses will pay the fee to the City Treasurer and pro cure a receipt, in exchange for which the license offlccf will issue the license tags. "Vehicles of all descriptions are subject to license, generally 53 per quarter for one horse vehicles, $5 per quarter for two horse vehicles, and 5" 50 per quarter for vehicles drawn by three horses. Pleasure carriages are taxed Jl 50 and 52 50 per quarter, and one-horse milk wagons 51 50 per quarter, and two-horse milk wagons $3 per quarter. " , It Is generally understood that the money received from the tax on vehicles Is to bo placed In a fund to be used solely for the repair and maintenance of streets and bridges, and so there will be but few objections to paying It. It is not Intended that any one shall pay two or three licenses on one vehicle, or any thing of the sort, and persons applying for licence will state for what purpose the vehicles are to be used. License Officer McEachern and As sistant Rogoway will enforce the law without fear or favor. It will be no use. only a waste of time, to discuss the law with them, as they have nothing to do with it except to enforce it. TUe Frederlclcaburff Will Present a Number of Enstern Artists. The Fredericksburg, after a thorough overhauling, will reopen its doors tonight under the management of Messrs.

Miss Florence Brooks, a dainty dancer, will show a pair of nimble feet, and La LIsta, pose plastlque, is an artist of recognized merit. Professor Richter's famous orches tra of eight pieces will enliven the enter tainment with popular and classic music. It can bo readily seen that this is a very strong bill and crowded houses will be the natural result. 50 CENTS IS ALL IT COSTS. The O. R. & N. sels round trip tickets to Bonnevlllo for only 50 cents.

PLACERS UNDERGROUND. Experience of n Miner In British Co lumbia. J. Davis, a miner, who returned from Harvest Camp, B: C, yesterday, after five months spent at work underground there, says Oregon hereafter will be good enough for him. He was at work on a mine belonging to a San Francisco pack ing company, and the pay gravel was 560 feet below the surface of the ground. A shaft was dug this immense depth and then drifting began at the bottom. Tho gold-bearing gravel lay within five feet of the bedrock, and, as this was removed and sent up through the s.haft to be washed, heavy timbers were put In posi tion to guard against caving In. The gravel was very rich, going as high as 37 cents to the pan, but water came In so fast that even the heavy pumping plant could not keep the drifts free, so the work had to be abandoned, after some $160,000 had been expended In the mine. The works have therefore been shut down 352 MORRISON STREET GOODS MUST BE SOLD. Sale Absolute.....No Rejcrve.....No Limit A. W. LOUDER BACK, Auctioneer. IT.
