ONLYTWO MEMBERS
Bill Gives Washington No
Extra Congressman.
LEADERS WILL PRESS MEASURE
Several Other States Protest and
Matter May Go Over This Term
Pueet Sound Naval Station's
Increased Appropriation.
WASHINGTON', Dec 18. The Congres
sional reapportionment bill which was
prepared by Chairman Hopkins and fa
vorably reported by the census commit
tee does not allow an additional Repre
sentative to the State of Washington, al
though the Crumpacker and Burleigh bll:&
assign three members to that state. It
Is the intention of the House leaders to
press the Hopkins bill, but that meas
ure reduces the representation of Ohio,
Indiana, Maine, Nebraska, Washington
and several Southern States, which all
rebel, and put up a stubborn fight against
such an apportionment.
The boiters generally favor the Bur
leigh bill, which provides' for 387 mem
bers, and it Is possible that they will stir
up such an opposition that the entire
question may go over to the next Con
gress. Both Washington Representatives
are fighting the Hopkins bill, and wih
be supported by the Senators. Cushman
Is for the Burleigh measure, thinking it
stronger on a basis of 1S4.000 than a bill
It nearer 2W00, which would let his
state in on three members. Jones is for
any bill which will give Washington three
members.
Chairman Foss, of the naval commit
tee, assures Representative Jones that
the Puget Sound naval station will re
ceive a more generous appropriation this
year than last.
FIRE IX WOOLEX MILLS.
Blaze Discovered In Time, and Large
Dsnmec Was Averted.
OREGON CITY. Dec IS. A Arc broke
out In the washed wool stored in the
picker department of the woolen mills
this afternoon, probably from a steam
pipe, but was extinguished before the
damage was extensive. After the wool
is washed it is stored in the dryroom
over the picker department, where it is
dried by the aid of steam pipes. The
extent of the damage cannot be ascer
tained until the wool Is overhauled.
Clackamas and Incorporation.
The residents of Clackahias Station held
another Incorporation meeting last njgnt,
and after considerable discussion post
poned the matter until Monday night. A
purso will be raised to defray the ex
pense of an injunction suit against stor
ing powder within a specified distance
of the public &chool building, provided
it is decided not to incorporate The prin
cipal object in incorporating Is to pass
an ordinance making it unlawful to store
powder In the city limits, but the ques
tion now to be decided is which would
bo the most effective plan to securo re
lief. Recently the Vigorit Powder Com
pany erected a large magazine within
about 200 yards of the railroad depot,
but have stored no powder there up to
this time. The California Powder Com
pany also has a powder magazine a
short distance away, and, in the event
that the town shall be incorporated. It
was the intention to make the boundary
lines Include both magazines. It is claimed
by the advocates of incorporation tnM a
largo majority of the citizens are op
posed to storing powder so near their
homes.
ASIILAXD AGAIXST SALOONS.
Voters Decide Xot to License Them
Republicans Carried City Election.
ASHLAND, Or.. Dec IS. The city elec
tion passed off very quietly today. Very
little Interest was taken in the polling,
outside of the Anti-Saloon League, on the
license question, and a very light vote was
cast The entire Republican ticket,, was
elected, as follows:
Mayor, R. P. Nell; Recorder. Milton
Berry: Treasurer, Henry Galey; Council-men-First
ward. P. B. Whitney; second
ward, Thomas H. Simpson; third ward,
W. P. Powell.
On the question of saloon license, 426
votes were cast, the totals being 216
against and 197 for, giving a majority of
19 against the issuance of license to sa
loons. This vote was taken under a city
ordinance, asking an expression of the
voters on the subject at each city elec
tion. At the present time there are six
saloons in Ashland that pay $ lllense
each per year. These licenses all expire
January 15, and if the City Council takes
notice of the pleasure of the voters, no
more licenses to retail liquor will Issue
after that date.
The Anti-Saloon League claims that the
new Council, which is composed of six
members, will stand four to two against
the issuance of licenses, and there will
bo no more saloons In Ashland after Jan
uary 15. At iheMflst city election, held
on the licence'" question, 34 votes were
cast, In which license carried by nine
majority. R. p. Nell, the Mayor-elect,
was the candidate on both the Republican
and Democratic tickets.

Expenses Down to Bedrock, and As
sessment Revenues Reduced 2700.
SALEM. Dec IS. The Salem City Coun
cil tonight passed an ordinance making
plight advances in the various city license
fees.
The Council Intended passing an ordi
nance determining the revenue and ex
penses for the ensuing year, as provided
by the charter, but the matter was lala
oer.
It Is reported that the reduction ot
valuations In this year's assessment will
cut down the city's revenue $2700. The
City Council must either cut expenses
that amount or increase the revenues.
As expenses have already been cut to
bedrock and the revenues have been mad
as large as possible, the Council Is In a
quandary, and will grapple with the dif
ficulty at an adjourned meeting Friday
evening.

FAITH IN CRIMINAL SHATTERED.
Baker City Minister Forced to Fore
KO Good Opinion of Man.
BAKER. CITY, Dec IS. Charles Albee,
the well-known young man of Baker City
who pleaded guilty to stealing material
to build a house, has been sentenced
to three years In the penitentiary by
Judge Eakin. Before Albee's sentence, he
was visited by Rev. J. R. N. Bell, pastor
of the Presbyterian Church, and one or
the prominent ministers of the state. Dr.
Bell visited the culprit as spiritual ad
viser. After spending an hour with him.
he came out of the cel assuring the
jailer that Albee would be a better man
when he had served his term, and that
bo seemed to have good parts. As Dr,JLacooci. ..
Bell started to leave the Courthouse he
passed three trunks on the sidewalk One
of them he recognized as his own, ane
immediately .-asked wherethe Jailer bad
got his trunk.
"That Is not your trunk; that Is Al
bee's," replied thc-offlcei.
"That Is my trunk." insisted the rev
erend gentleman. ?"Welt, If that fellow
didn't steal my trunk!" Rev. Mr. Bell
Is credited with saying that he bellevecl
there was no hope for the criminal. Cir
cumstances alter cases. A man that would
steal the parson's trunk hod little hopp
for reformation.
CIIEHALIS WANTS BETTER WATER.
Analysis of Present Supply Proves
Tliat It Is Impure.
CHEHALIS, Wash., Dec IS. At a meet
ing of the City; Council last night, a reso
lution was introduced ana passed declar
ing the water now supplied the place
from tho well of the Chehalls Water Com
pany to be impure, and demanding that
water be furnished from some other
source The company furnished water
from a pumping station on the Newau
kum River until this Summer, when a
well on the flat inside the limits of the
town was dug. A complete pumping piant
was put in and the Improvement Is said
to have cost about 5S000. The new well
drained many wells in town, and It was
the supposition that some Impure sources
of water were included.
The City Council took the matter Jn
hand and secured a chemical analysis or
the water by Professor Byers, of the State
University, who pronounced the water Im
pure. Water will again be supplied the
city from the pumping station on the
river. During the Winter time this supply
Is generally considered satisfactory, but
In the Summer It Is not.
Toledo School Bonds Sold.
A $3000 issue of school bonds was sold
Saturday by the County Treasurer for
the Toledo school district, where a new
schoolhouse is to bo built. Coffman &
Kepner, of this place, bougnt the bonds,
paying about $20 more than par for the
lot, which will draw interest at the rate
of 6 per cent. The bonds are to run 10
years, but there Is an option allowing
payment to be made at the end of nye
years.

OLD GEM MINE BONDED
COLORADO CAPITALISTS SECURE
OPTION ON 'PROPERTY.
The Deal Is Generally Regarded as
One of Great Importance to
the Sparta District.
BAKER CITY, Dec IS. The old Gem
mine. In the Sparta district, has been
bonded to Denver capitalists. The deal
Is generally taken to mean mat the prop
erty Is to be worked on a large scale
Colorado mining men are known to be
thoroughly progressive, and once they
take hold of a proposition they .keep
"everlasting at It" until Its full value Is
determined. Schooled In a formation pe
culiar to that state, and where many
time-honored precedents failed, they do
not stampede at a dyke, such as are found
in .many good mines of Eastern Oregon,
DR. JAMES
ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS AT THE FARMERS'
HELD AT STAFFORD.
as Colorado has much of the dyke forma
tion. They have found that great values
go with depth In their own state, and
so far as they have expressed themselves
on Eastern Oregon, believe the same rule
applies here, although there are few In
stances where the Idea has been put Into
execution.
The Gem represents the greatest depth
attained In Sparta, It has one perpen
dicular shaft 190 feet deep, another 87
feet, and an Incline on the vein down 450
feet. Considerable development has been
done on the extreme lower level, thus
testing the permanence of the vein at
that depth. Those who have Inspected
the Gem freely stato that there Is no
visible reason why sinking should not
continue
The Gem is one of the oldest producers
in this region. It is situated In the
midst of the rich placer diggings of early
days. What it yielded In pre-statlstle
days Is not known, but reports handed
down from mouth to mouth are very fa
vorable. It has been Idle for a con
siderable period, but not In an altogether
abandoned state. The property has al
ways ranked as a mine, although not
active, and has been looked upon as
holding values for the management that
would work It properly. Last February,
F. J. Perkins, of Portland, acquired the
property; first by bond and later by
purchase A single hoist englno of 12
horsepower, and a SO-gallon Dow steam
pump were immediately Installed. The
property was cleared of water, which had
accumulated In the lower levels, and de
velopment work was begun. A consider
able force was employed during the Sum
mer. Seven claims are included in the
property, one of which, the Gem, Is pat
ented, and the others are held by loca
tion. No figures aro given out as to the
amount of the bond. Both parties lnterst
ed regard this information as private.
Various rumors are heard, some of which
placo the sum at $50,000. The time when
tho new management will take possession
and begin operations Is not divulged, but
It Is understood to be In the near fu
ture Ore values in the Gem vary, like those
In all other properties that have come
to rank as good producers. Some of the
ore Is known to have been remarkably
rioh. No records have been found show
ing how much of this class of quartz
was removed, but from the walls left
and the face of the ledge where work
ceased, it is estimated that the Gem
yielded handsomely. The ore Is almost
entirely free milling, there being a very
small per cent of sulphurets. The quartz
is easily mined.
Tho Gem. like other properties In tho
Sparta and Sanger districts, is remark
ably easy of access. The country is
one of low hills of gentle slope. Nowhere
is found the rugged mountain sides where
quartz veins are usually located. Fuel is
convenient. The greatest advantage, how
ever, is tne nne water power or .agie
Creek, six miles distant, where an elec
tric powr plant Is contemplated. With
such a plant in operation, the Gem would
be able to secure power at a trifling cost.

idiotic, the epileptic, and those affectea
with tuberculosis. And to this list may
well be added the criminal Insane. The
last class is entitled to just and intelli
gent consideration, both in the framing
and operation of laws. If the person
who commits an act knows its nature ana
quality, and that it is wrong, but through
mental aberration, the result ol disease,
is irresistibly urged to commit the act,
should he. In Justice, be sent to the
prison? If his self-control has been so
undermined by disease that even trifling
provocation or temptation suffices to over
come it, so that he cannot resist the im
pulse to commit a crime, should he, in
justice, be sent to the prison? Such per
sons constitute a menace to community
safety, and the latter must be protected;
but this safety can be subserved without
the stigma of felon or convict attached
to the irresponsible criminal.
"Rigid and separate provision should be
made for the safe detention of such per
sons when convicted, but they should not
be classed among ordinary criminals. On
the other hand, it is unfair and unwise
to place the criminal Inane with the othev
classes, because of personal dangers, dif
ficulty of management, danger of escape
and their contaminating association. That
both these objectionable conditions exist
In Oregon today Is a matter of common
knowledge."
Indlvldnnl Treatment.
"Of tho cases ordinarily admitted to the
Insane asylum, it Is probable that over
one-third have, apparently, a fair chancs
for cure. With the ordinary care ana
treatment, the greater part of this one
third attains recovery, but it Is unde
niably true that there is a certain propor
tion whose prospects hinge entirely upon
the degree and quality of the Individual
treatment they receive at first. The receni
patient should, most emphatically, be met
at the very door with the most advanced
plans of Individualized practice. To this
end trained nurses must be utilized, and
they must be further equipped by special
training in this branich of service. With
our present knowledge, the greatest effi
ciency can be secured in no other way.
This plan would necessarily entail some
greater relative expense, but If a greater
curative success were reached, there
would be no better financial Investment,
nor one more cordially applauded by citi
zens of our state."
It Is recommended that the system of
conveying patients be changed so as to
provide that asylum officials shall attend
the patients during their transportation
to the capital. In support of this, statis
tics are presented, showing that In Idaho
the cost of transportation has been re
duced. It is estimated that the general appro
priation for the ensuing term of two
years be the same us during the last two
years, J2SS.00O. Other appropriations are
advised aggregating 157,525, the principal
items of which are $24,000 for finishing and
furnishing the new wing, closed cottage
and new kitchen and for repairing and
painting all the buildings; $15,800 for light,
lng, and $10,000 for the purchase of 25
acres of land upon which to store fire
wood. The financial statement for the term
shows that the total expenditures for
articles consumed was $14S,4S1 99; total
pay-roll, $131,710 74; pay of board of trus
tees and clerk, $1333 33; grand total, $2S1,
505 05.

MODERN MISERS.
Men Who Starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.
There is a certain fearful fascination
about the stories of the misers of the
past. ' Th e money they accumulated was
of no more practical value to them than
the trinkets stolen and secreted by some
magpie or. jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight and use of men and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gathet it they lived on
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and fire to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not a few cases died
of starvation. That was the old-time
miser. The modern raiser resembles
this man of the past in the particular
that he frequently dies of starvation.
In his eagerness to gather money he
pays small heed to the claims of health.
He eats anything, anyhow, anywhen,
and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts
by any means nor spare his purse to fill
his stomach. The mistake he makes is
in thinking that when a man has filled
his stomach that is the end of the busi
ness of feeding. Instead of being the
end of feeding it's only the beginning.
There is no value in food unless it is
digested, converted into nutrition fend
assimilated. These processes depend
upon the healthfulness of the stomach
nd the other organs rf digestion and
nutrition. When thesi organs are dis
eased they cannot extract the nutrition
from the food received into the stomach
and the body becomes weak through
lack of nourishment. One day this
"weakness" begins to find a special de
velopment in some chief organ, heart,
Uver, lungs, kidneys, ete, to which the
man succumb3. Tne doctor's certificate
reads "heart disease," "kidney disease,"
as the case may be.
But the real reading of the certificate
should be:
STARVED 10 DEATH.
The truth of this statement is appar
ent. The body is sustained by food
digested and assimilated. But the body
is made up of its parts and organs, and
when the stomach 13 "weak," digestion
imperfect, and the nutrition extracted
from food inadequate to the needs of the
body, the result is shared by every part
and organ of the body. For this reason
no man is stronger than his stomach,
and no organ sustained by the stomach
can be stronger than the stomach.
Therefore when we hear of "weak"
stomach we are pretty sure we are going
iO hear in time of " weak " heart, " weak"
lungs, "weak" kidneys, or weakness of
some other organ of the body dependent
on the stomach and associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.
Now these things bcinjj true when a
man has heart "trouble," liver "trouble,"
St. Clair, of Tacoma, was picked up by
tho railroad section hands about lour
miles north of. here at 8:30 this morning.
He was lying near the railroad track, in
an almost unconscious condition. Accord
ing to his own statement he was stealing
a ride on a freight tram, and, falling
asleep, lost his hold on the truss rods.
He fell on the outside of the rails and
was dragged some distance. This oc
curred at about 3 A. M., and he was not
discovered until 8:30 A. M. The man was
well dressed, and says that until lately
he was employed In the revenue service
Although very weak from exposure, he
does not appear to be dangerously hurt.
He Is mangled slightly about the leez,
and one arm hurt.
INDIAN FATALLY WOUNDED.
Assailant Was a White Man Resnlt

NEW WHATCOM, Wash., Dec. 18.-A
white man, whose name Is unknown, and
unobtainable, went to the house of James
Adams, an Indian, four miles south of
Falrhaven, last night, for the supposed
purpose of selling whisky. A fight en
sued, in which the Indian received two
shotgun wounds, from which he is now
dying. He succeeded hi cutting the while
man badly. The murderer came to Falr
haven this morning, hunted up the City
Marshal, told him of the crime, and said
he was coming- here to give himself up
to the Sheriff, to whom he would make a
statement. Afterward he got his wounds
dressed and has disappeared.
Two women in the house at the time
of the fight escaped into the woods, where
they remained In hiding all night. After
receiving his death wounds, the Indian,

kidney "trouble," ete, where is the first
place to look for the cause of the dis
ease? Why. where else can it be but
the stomach? The most probable cause
of these forms of "weakness" is defici
ent nutrition resulting from the "weak "
condition of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. And
if these diseases of heart, liver, lungs,
kidneys, ete, begin in the stomach they
must be cured through the stomach.
IT'S AX EVERY DAY AFFAIR
to receive letters reporting the cure ol
diseased kidneys, weak heart, torpid
liver, or lung "trouble" through the use
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. But one may say, "'Golden Medical
Discovery is a medicine for the stom
ach find blood, in particular."
Exactly so. And that is why it cures
diseases remote from the stomach but
which have their origin in disease of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery cures diseases of the stomach and
digestive and nutritive
systems. The food taken
into the body is then con
verted into nutrition
which is supplied to
heart, lungs, kianeys, and
other organs which are
made strong bv nutrition.
Disease is thrown off.
New strength comes to
every tissue and fiber of
the body.
"I cuffered for four
years with pain in my
stomach so that at times
I couldn't work nor eat,"
writes Mr. Frank Smith, of
Granite, Chaffee Co.,Colo.
"I wrote to you about my
sickness and was told to
use your medicine, which
I did with good results.
I only used four bottles
of youj- 'Golden Medical
Discovery,' and must say
that I am entirely cured,
and feel like a new man,
and I can highly recom
mend vour mediciae to
any sufferer."
"I was troubled with
malarial fever of about three years'
standing and was under doctors' care
for quite a time," writes Mr. J. F. Kidd,
of Parmleysville, Wayne County, Ky.
"They had almost given mc up, and my
suffering was very great. My pulse was
weak, breath short and I had severe pains
in back, head and legs. Had palpitation
of heart, and from June 1st, 1895, to
May 1st, 1S93, 1 was net able to do a
day's work. I purchased five bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
and before I had finished taking the first
two lxttlcs I was very much better of
my disease of three years' standing. I
continued taking the medicine, and by
the time the fifth bottle was gone I was
a well man. I can cheerfully recom
mend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover-
to any similar sufferer."
"In 1898, "one cf my daughters was
suffering on account ot a severe cough,
hectic fever, wasting of flesh and other
symptoms of diseased lungs," writes Rev.
Joseph II. Fesperraan, of Barium Springs,
Iredell Co., N. C "I promptly gave her
Dr. R. V. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
cover', with gratifying success, and she
now enjoys excellent health. This ex
perience caused me to recommend Dr.
Pierce's medicines to my neighbors, who,
without exception, us-i'l them with fa
vorable results. This being true, I here
by heartily endorse your mediciue3.,'
