inside Kallins; Shelley of time
Cracks a Joke.
EALE1I. Or.. Feb. 20. (Spedal.)
No publla occasion other than the elec
tion of a United States Senator could
have drawn a larger and more intensely
Interested crowd to Oregon's Capitol than
was gathered In the House of Representa
tives. In the lobby, on the stairways and
In all the windows at the Statehouse to
night. At noon today a largo crowd was pres
ent to witness the regular ballot in Joint
convention. Scores of the people brougai
lunches with them and were still in their
seats at 6 o'clock. The eergeant-at-arms
tried to drive out the visitors, but as
the lobby was free to all. the firstcomers
refused to go. The persistency o the
eergeant-at-arms In trying to drive them
out led to the assertion by many that the
purpose was to make room for the Ful
ton contingent, who had the sympathy of
the sergeant. The perseverance of the
men. women and children who wanted to
aee a Senator elected was almost beyond
belief. People who ordinarily took no
Interest in politics, and who knew noth
ing whatever of the political line-up or
mlx-up, were willing to sit for 12 hours
In a narrow seat that hardly permitted
of a change of position.
The room was excessively close, except
near the windows. In the lobby and In
the corridors and outside the door of the
House people stood packed together ae
lose as .they could etand. 'Around the
wall Is a broad molding at the top of
the wainscoting, about five feet above the
floor. Toung men and boys stood upon
this narrow ledgo and clung to the orna
mental work on the wall to keep them
selves from falling.
Efforts to Get Inside.
No one was admitted Inside the bar ex
cept on ticket. Each member was permit
ted to lssuo two tickets and each state
officer and ex-Govemor Geer were given
two tickets. Representatives of the press
who had been In attendance upon the ses
sion of the Legislature were also granted
tickets. Members of the last Legislature
were also accorded the honor of seats
among the members of this Legislature.
Every sort of plea and argument wasH
used In an effort to get tickets, but neither
political Influence, nor love, nor money
could secure one of the little pieces of
cardboard that would gain admission for
the bearer. A few men conceived the
plan o getting Inside and then dropping
their tickets out of the window to thelr
Xxienos, out me udtei-umer wic uj ctu
ticket as soon as be could get his bands
on It. A number of young men crawled
around the wall of the Statehouse on a
toping about 20 feet from the ground,
and cllmbid In a window In a cloakroom
opening off the Representative chamber.
The ledge upon which they groped their
way was narrow, and In places they were
compelled to pass projections where they
were In Imminent danger of being hurled
to the ground below. It was anything tc
see a Senator elected.
WIhed the Crowd Were "Still Born."
"When the members of the Senate
marched In at 8 o'clock they were re
ceived with applause. After the elec
tion -at J. B. Putnam to succeed himself
as State librarian and James Keating as
' boatman at Astoria, the balloting for Sen
ator began. The flrst ballot passed off
without Incident- On the second ballot
of the evening Shelley" of Lane made a
diversion. Shelley's seat is near the rail,
and the clamor of the crowd annoyed him
greatly. Finally he could etand It no
longer, so he arose to protest. He said:
'I am about to say something to the
people here back ot me, and I do It of
my own accord. There Is a book called
the 'New Testament, and It Is one of the
most widely, read in the United States. In
that book is an account of the new birth.
I hope that when these people are bom
again they will be still-born."
Shelley's sally was greeted with mightier
uproar than ever, which President Brown
ell broke his gavel in trying to quell. On
the third ballot of the evening, the 2Sth
of the session. Senator Fulton came Into
- the Joint convention and began voting for
,F. I, Dunbar.
There was a shout from the Oeer people
" 'when the result of the second ballot was
announced, showing that Hume had
changed from Hermann to Geer. Hume
sat so far up front that the change was
.not noticed by the crowd when he voted.
Chairs were as precious as diamonds
everywhere In the Capitol. Out in the ro
. tunda anxious men, wives, daughters,
uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces rested
one leg by standing on the other, and then
the other leg by standing on the first.
Pretty soon both legs got tired, but still
the. nebula waited for the ballots to be
announced. The chairs of the bootblack
stand early In the evening bore the pla
card. 'Tor rent."
"How much?" askeft somebody.
"Four dollars for two. $2 for one,"
'answered the swarthy artist,
'Dear, dear," replied the Inquirer, -do
. j'ou know that my hip bones never felt so
-immeasurably large before."
"The 34th ballot, the ninth of the even
ing, showed Geer 29 votes, within four of
Fulton. Mays was the new accession to
the Geer forces. The announcement of
the result was the -elgnal for prolonged
7 cheers from the Geer contingent In the
i .lobby.
" As the crowd got warm It also got dry,
and a few boys did a big business sell-
ing lemonade' and soda water at 10 cents
.fc glass.

ernor. The management ot the bureau Is to be
vested tn a board of seven members to be

County, three of Western Oregon and
three of Eastern Oregon. This board is
to elect commissioner thoroughly versed
in mining and metallurgy. His salary Is
not to exceed J2S0 per month. The bureau
is to be located at Portland.
The bill had a hard time in the House,
at first, on account ot Its lenzth and the
Impatience of Its members. It was about
to be Indefinitely postponed, when Malar
key, by a strong and eloquent plea, res
cued It from that fate.
In a spirit of fairness Senator Mulkey
moved this morning that the committee
to arrange for the admission of visitors
to the House during the Joint convention
tonight be composed ot one Senator who
has been voting for Fulton, one who has
been voting for Geer, and one who has
been voting for Wood. When the vote
was taken President Brownell declared
the motion lost When the chair ap
pointed the committee he named Senators
Monsters. Forrar and Smith of Yamhill,
all Fulton men.

of Lane assured the passage through the
Senate oi the. House bill appropriating
J1.CCO.000 for the payment of the claims

Senators named made brief addresses fa
voring the passage of the measure as a
matter of Justice to the Indian War vet
erans. At the request of Senator McGinn H. B.
G9. a bill for an act to prescribe the pro
cedure under the Initiative and referen
dum, was read three times In the Sen
ate, under suspension of the rules, and

SAL Ell, Feb. 20.-SpecIaL) The Senate
today adopted the following resolution,
which relieves Adjutant-General Ganten

NO SUMMER SCHOOL
SENATE- SUSTAINS GOVERNOR
CHAMBERLAIN'S VETO.
The Scheme Looked Too Much Like
a Summer Excnrslon to the
Chief Executive.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 20. SpecIal.)A bill
for the creation of a Summer nor
mal school at Newport was vetoed by the
uovernor this morning, passed through
the House over the Governor's veto, but
was killed In the Senate, where that body
retired to pass It over the veto.
"This school looks to me as though It
was Intended for a Summer excursion,"
said the Governor In his veto message,
"rather than for any ultimate good to the
people of the state.'
Jones of Lincoln made a strong' speech
to Republicans to stand behind him. The
appeal was effective.
The bill passed originally with a major
ity of only three votes. Tho negative
votes today were: Democrats BUyeu,
Blakley, Cantrall. Claypool. Kramer. Mur
phy. Olwell. Test 8. Republicans Both,
Hlnes. Kay. LaFolIett, Orton. Purdy. Sim
mons 7. The only Democrat who voted
against the Governor was Burleigh. There
was no debate upon the bill In the Senate,
and the voto was not upon party lines.
Governor Chamberlain's veto message
was ns follows 1
I return herewith House bill No. 113 with
my disapproval. The object thereof Is to
establish a State Summer Normal School
at the town ot Newport, Lincoln County.
In my message to the Legislature I sug
gested the propriety ot reducing to two
tne number of normal schools supported
by the state, but Instead of following this
suggestion, which I feel assured meets
with the approval of a majority of the
taxpayers of the state, the Legislature
has not only not seen fit to act upon It.
but on the contrary, proposes to add to
the burdens ot taxation another normal
school to be located at Newport- The pro
posed school Is for the benefit of the
teachers of the state rather than for the
children. In the very nature of things
very few teachers would be able to go to
Newport to take advantage of this Sum
mer normal school If it were thoroughly
established. It looks as though It was In
tended for a Summer excursion rather
than for any ultimate good the people of
the state would derive therefrom.
The burdens ot taxation are already
heavy enough, and the appropriations
made by this Legislature have Increased
rather than diminished the same, and
under theso conditions I return said bill
to you with my veto."
IN MEMORY" OF T. II. TONGUE.
The Senate Adopts Appropriate Res.
olntlons.

FIG1ITVF0R SUGAR MACHINERY.
Idnlio nnd rtnli Company Have Both
Bonajht Snme Plant..
BUTTE. Mont. Feb. 20. A Blackfoot,
Idaho, special to the Miner says the Idaho
Sugar Company today wired Dwycr &
Co., of Cleveland. O.. that they would re
sist any effort ot Mr. Hansen and his
Utah associates to acquire possession ot
the beet-sugar machinery which Mr. Han
sen contracted for ana which the Utah
Companj propces to locate near Idaho
Falls. The local corporation has cm
ployed the best legal talent In the state.
It alleges that the plant was bought
by Hansen, acting as trustee for It, and
that he has no authority to amlgn or sell
the same. As this Is the only available
plant In the country for this year, and
as both concerns have agreed to put in
factories this year, the fight for posses
ion of the machinery will be an Interest
ing legal battle. Theldaho Company la now
backed by Eastern capital, and as It has
th contracts covering over SOOO acres of
beet land. It will spare no effort to get
Iho machinery.
Astoria News Notes.
ASTORIAj Feb. 20. (Special.) The
County Surveyor and viewers appointed
to' lay out a route for a county road be
tween Seaside and Elk Creek have com
pleted their work and will submit their
report to the County Commissioners'
Court at Its next meeting. They were
successful In finding a route over the hill
on which the heaviest grade does not ex
ceed 5 per cent, and it will probably be
adopted by the court. This Is the first
step toward the construction of a good
public highway to the Tillamook County
line where It will connect with a similar
road to be built by the Tillamook County
officials.

Atrltatlon Over Elctat-Hoar Law.
WALLACE. Idaho. Feb. 20. The eight
hour law agitation In the Idaho Legisla
ture has caused extreme uneasiness In
the Coeur d'Alene sliver-lead mines dis
trict A mlneowner said todayr "In view
of tho unsatisfactory market conditions,
and difficulty of working properties at tho
great depth which has been obtained in
mines within the past two years, it will
result In great hardship to all classes of
citizens. With most of tho mines it will
result In cither a complete closedown of
plants or else a cut In wages of the min
ers In proportion to the reduction of the
hours of work. The average cut In wages
will be 20 per cent An Increase of mining

"Weakness"
That disorder commonly known as
"weakness" has for years and gen
erations baffled the efforts ot physi
cians, yet to this very day a majority
ot doctors, specialists not excepted.
ar attempting to overcome It by
mothods that have been In constant
use and have constantly failed for half
a century. They dose the system with
powerful stimulants and tonics calcu
lated to restore nervous force or
strength, that Is not and never has
been lacking, wlti. the result that the
functions are temporarily excited, to
tho positive detriment of the patient
Weakness, we will call It such for
convenience Just now. Is only a symp
tom resulting from a chronically
swollen and inflamed prostate gland
and Is curable by means of combined
local treatment only. Either early dis
sipation or some Improperly treated
contracted disease Is responsible for
the Inflammation in most Instances,
though accidental Injury, strain, etc.,
may produce tho same result We have
permanently cured thousands of coses,
which demonstrates the absolute ac
curacy of our understanding and treat
ment of this disorder. We are equally
certain that no treatment other than
this can completely and permanently
restore strength and vigor.
Specific Blood Poison
Until the perfection of our system df
treatment specific blood poison was re
garded as Incurable and the limit ot
medical eld was to keep tho disease
dormant by the use ot strong mineral
drugs. We positively drive the last
taint of virus from the system. Our
cures are absolute. Every symptom
vanishes to appear no more.

chronic stage. A majority of tha most

Varicocele
Varicocele Interferes with local

required and there need be no de

Contracted Disorders
Absolute safety demands the most
thorough treatment in all con

ments they would not think of In
trusting their cases in unskilled
hands. Unless every particle of In
