Denial Is Made That Slate Was Fixed for County Convention Which Meets Tomorrow. About in secluded corners and, hidden nooks could be found groups of men en gaged In earnest conversation at all hours of yesterday. The same thing will occur today. They are getting ready for the Demo cratic County Convention. And all the con ferring and secret communion of clans probably indicates that there is to be some real excitement before and after the chairman is selected to rap the con vention to order for it is announced that there -will really be a chairman and that all the forms of a real convention will be carried out Nor do they feel that all the burnishing of steel and the expenditure of midnight oil and gray matter is at all a waste. Miss Democracy's faithful admirers declare that offenders against the peace and dig nity of the County of Multnomah are to be arrested In the future by a Democratic Sheriff. They say there will be a Demo cratic Judge on the bench before they get through, to try the offender after he has been taken into custody by the aforesaid Democratic Sheriff. They say they are to be represented on the Board of County Commissioners and in the State Senate. The less conservative of them say many ether things. T. M. "Word 1b the name on many Dem ocratic lips for the Sheriff nomination. With dissension in the Republican ranks over this plum and Storey polelng his own raft they say their nominee ought to fare nicely. Then they speak of George TV. Allen as one candidate for a Circuit Judgeship, and H. B. Nicholas, Mark O'Nell, T. G. Greene and Seneca Smith are also mentioned in the Bame connec tion. Senatorial aspirants require much ink and paper for the writing of the list, among the probables being Newton Mc Coy, H. TV. Parker, P. V. Holman, T. G. Thornton. M. J. Malley, N. A. Feery, A. King Wilson, General H. B. Compson, D. M. Donaugh, Dr. John "Welch, John Van Zante, Charles J. Schnabel and J. A. Bushman. That there is a slate is unblushingly de nied by party leaders. Alex Sweck says there isn't and I. T. Pcery says there isn't. Their various supporters substan tiate them In saying the convention will be an open one. Peery's admirers will not say just why they held a meeting Monday evening in the Alnsworth building, where a stanch Republican explains his action in allow ing them his office as a meeting place by saying they are a misguided but hy no means a bad lot. For several hours they parleyed there with sentinels at every door to keep out interlopers. What they were talking about or what they were do ing is, they say, chiefly their own busi ness. Sweek and his clansmen are holding a meeting on the installment plan. Mr. Sweek says he does not believe In a mass meeting. So ho was kept busy all day meeting groups of political friends who visited him in delegations of from two to half a dozen In a bunch. Not until today, they say, will be formed or known the list of thote who are to be considered as candidates for the various minor nominations. There Is a host of plum-seekers who are willing to risk themselves on the political sea In the frail Democratic craft, and the really eli gible, it is explained, have not been en tirely sorted out from the impossible aspirants. States Launch Company, captal stock $5000. were filed in the County Clerk's office yesterday by E. J. Kiss, H. A Reynolds and F. H. Irwin. The objects are to manufacture, buy and sell and otherwise deal In steam, launches, gaso llno launches, electric launches, sail boats, rowboats, etc George Bronson, George H. Pettinger, John F.

"I found that people In .the East do not know much about our Intention to have a Lewis and Clark Fair In Portland," said G. W. Simons, auditor of the Colum hia River & Northern Railroad, who has returned from a three weeks' visit to Chi cago. "I was surprised to find how. many busienss men do not even know who Lewis and Clark were. They know very little of Portland or Oregon. The general Impression that we are pretty well adver tised Is a mistake. Railroad agents and bankers may know us, but it is the gen eral traveling public that we want Peo ple I met were surprised to hear that ships come to Portland and that we have float ed the largest cargoes of flour and lum ber ever loaded. They were astonished to hear that we have 120,000 people. They think -that San Francisco is the only sea port on the Coast and that Seattle Is Just getting Into the ocean commerce. This is not the idea of Ignorant people, but of business men worth hundreds of thou sands of dollars." '"What is the remedy?" was asked. "One remedy is to have newsstands in the Eastern cities where our people can get the Portland papers. I went to one newsstand where I got The Oregonlaa of ten dates, but I could get no Telegram, though I could get the San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle papers. This town can become generally known If the people Interested In it will mail marked copies of the local papers or magazines to their friends In the East. Suppose 10,003 people mall ten copies of a paper every month. It would only cost them about 23 cents, but It would get information about the country to 100.003 people. If they only send one paper a month, it will do much good. "I cannot indorse the statement of many Portlanders returning from the East that overybody is looking to the West I did not find that so. Ten persons are going to Texas and other parts of the South for one who is coming to the Coast There is a new element going to that section and buying out the conservative old families. They are ditching, dyking and draining the land and introducing modern ideas." OVATION TO SCHTTJtfAlTtf-HEINE: San Francisco Greets Her With Tre mendous Enthusiasm. San Francisco has just given a remark ablo demonstration of enthusiasm at the Schumann-Heink opening concert The Bulletin says of this great contralto: "Attractiveness of personality, amount ing to more than beauty, Schumann Heink certainly has in great measure. The audience that thronged the largo theater last night applauded the singer In one or all of her three-fold capac ity as woman, emotional artist and vocalist, according to their capacity of understanding. But whatever the rea son they applauded wildly, with absolute enchantment, with the transports of en thusiasm that makes one envious for the dramatic artists whose greatest efforts never bring forth such an ovation as is awarded to musicians by music lovers." Schumann-Heink will sing in Portland at the Marquam Tuesday. 4 April 19. The salcv of seats will open Saturday morn- llng. CHANCE TO SEE OREGON EXCURSIONISTS TO THE FAIR MAY STOP OVER ON WAY. Privilege Asked by Pendleton Is Granted by O. R. & N. to AH Points on Its Line. Through the efforts of the transporta tion committee of the Chamber of Com merce, the O. R, & N. has consented to grant step-over privileges at all Oregon points on excursion tickets to the Lewis and Clark Fair. As a consequence, per sons coming over the O. R. & N. to visit the Fair will have an opportunity to stop at the towns along the route for a day. The Commercial Club, o'f Pendleton, was the first to bring this matter before the public. That organization communi cated with the local Chamber of Com merce, setting forth that such an arrange ment should be made in order to give the visitors at the Fair a chance to see some thing of the Oregon country and its re sources. The Chamber referred the mat ter to the transportation committee. The latter body Immediately took it up with -the officials of the railroad. The company gladly offered to grant the request of the committee, and grant all persons travel ing on excursion tickets to the Fair an opportunity to stop over at all places in Oregon along the line of the O. R. & N. that they might have a chance to come In contact with the people of the state and see for themselves what Oregon has to offer to the prospective settler. It is believed that many of those who will visit the Fair will take advantage of the opportunity to see the .state, and that this will result in material aid to the settling and building up of the coun try. What had been accomplished in this direction was reported at the regular meeting of the directors of the Chamber yesterday. A committee composed of Richard Con nell, Ben Albers and R. F. Farrell was appointed during the meeting of the Chamber, to act in connection with the Joint committees from the other commer cial organizations relative to the meeting here of the National Grange. It was decided that delegates' to the meeting of the National Good Roads As sociation, to be held In St. Louis, should be appointed. The appointments will be made In a short time. The following new members were elect ed to the Chambor: The Pacific Construc tion Company, James Poole, The Ger man Publishing Company and the Haw thorne estate. son, he says, had been waving at his wife as the car passed his store on East Morri son street and Grand avenue and followed this up by writing her a letter. McKlnncy says this letter will speak for Itself when presented as evidence this morning. Thompson denies flirting with the candy man's wife. He says he knows her but has" not spoken to her for months. CASS FOB THE HEIGHTS. Ten on the Way for Ford-Street Line -Bridge Finished In June.

Eight others aro In process of construc tion and will bo nut into service within the next few weeks. These cars will be operated on the lines where the traffic Is greatest In order to j afford better accommodations in the line oi comiort ana service. Some changes will also be njade In the time schedules of some of the lines later on. FUBTATION KIPPED DT THE BUD George McKlnncy Horsewhips Mo torman, Who Denies Offense. George McKlnney, a confectioner, treat ed G. L. Thompson, a street-car motor man, to a horsewhipping Monday even ing. Ho says the motorman had been con ducting a flirtation with his wife. Thompson, the horsewhipped, called at the police station yesterday forenoon and got a warrant for the arrest of the out raged husband charging him with as sault and battery. McKlnney was arrest ed during the afternoon by Officer Ham mersley. The trouble is to be threshed out In Police Court this morning. The whip was administered within the sight of a large crowd of people. Thomp son was aboard an East Ankeny car which was standing at the corner of Third and Yamhill streets when the other man stepped aboard and lashed him. Thomp son, who is by far the smaller man of the two, closed with his assailant and gavo on excellent account of himself by throwing the larger man bodily off the car. McKlnney says that the flirtation' had not reached serious dimensions. Thomp- SPRING FARMING STARTS. Weather Conditions Favorable Plowing and Seeding. for The weekly crop summary of the Weather Bureau follows: v The first two days of the week were rainy and cold, but the latter part was warm and pleasant and ideal for farm work. A few frosty mornings occurred, but the frosts were too light to do any harm. Plowing and seeding has been pushed as rapidly as possible. The soil on the high lands Is in excellent condition for plow ing, and that on the bottom lands Is fast drying out Early gardens have been started and some early potatoes have been planted. The season, however, is very backward, the farmers generally are be hind with their work, and many fear that they will not have time to prepare the land they intended for Spring seeding be fore it is top late for wheat and other small grain. Fall wheat Is doing nicely, and but few complaints are made regard ing its condition. Hops are beginning to sprout but the .hopgrowers have not yet had time to thoroughly clean and cultivate their yards; although they are now vTry busy at this work. Goat shearing has begun and the clip, so far as learned, is an average one. Pastures and stock are improving, and In some sections stock has been turned .put on the range. Early cherries, peaches, plums and bush fruit have come into bloom during the week, and the outlook for fruit of all kinds Is much better than usual thus early in the season. POT!. XEX8CBAN, Pre. C.

NORTON DAVIS & CO., PortJand's Leading Specialists The cure of disease is a matter of full understanding as to the nature of the disorder and the action of the remedies upon-it. In most instances the proper treatment is apparent to the physician so skilled as to be able to detect the exact conditions underlying an ailment. An accurate diagnosis is more than half the cure, for it makes plain the thing that must be done in order to effect a cure. If the doing of these things is a possibility there is no excuse for failure. Too often disease is treated by rule or programme, without adequate understanding as to the nature of the ailment, and without even an attempt to scientifically diagnose the case. This is a practice that comes through ignorance or carelessness, and that has done untold harm, disappointed millions of patients and injured public confidence in the medical profession. We guess at nothing. Our understanding of men's diseases is so thorough that we have no need to resort to guesswork. To this class of ailments we have devoted our entire attention for over twenty-one years. We have closely studied them in every possible phase and complication. We believe there is no case that we cannot accurately diagnose. Our diagnosis is the foundation of our treatment. It determines the course to pursue. As the cure progresses we carefully note developments and vary remedies accord ingly. We employ original and distinctive methods of treatment, but they are not set methods. They are pliable to meet the con ditions in individual cases, and their use calls for the most delicate prescribing. That they are correct, scientific and rational meth ods is conclusively proven by the cures they produce. We have cured more men than any other specialist in the Northwest has even temporarily relieved. Our methods are our own, and the treatment we offer can be rendered only by ourselves. We Are Always Willing to Wait for Our Fee Until Cure Is Effected SVPHII IS """s mos nideous flM venereal diseases can no longer be classed as incurable. The idea that the limit of medical aid is to keep the disease dormant by persistently dosing the system, -with mineral poisons is as incorrect as many other ancient theories to -which many of the profession cling. Such treatment not infrequently results in the virus being driven deeper into the system, where it at tacks and destroys even the very hones of the sufferer. "We positively drive the very last taint of the poison from, the system in 60 days. The cure is thorough and permanent, and every symptom of the disease vanishes forever. We use harmless, blood-cleansing remedies, heretofore unknown in the treatment of this disease. "We regard our success In overcom ing this frightful leprosy as the crowning triumpli of our pro fessional career. STRICTURE Jt matters nofc kw long you have suffered from stricture, nor how many different doc tors have disappointed 3Tou, we will guarantee that our treat ment will make you as well as before you were troubled with the disease. Our treatment dissolves the stricture, which comes away in shreds, leaving the urinary passage entirely free from obstructions and irritation. It also relieves any sympa thetic disturbance in the bladder or kidneys. We send our treatment for this trouble to nearly every country in the world. PI I FS maer hw severe or of how long standing, we will cure every case of piles that comes to us for treatment. We use no knife, ligature or caustic, but employ a mild treatment, which is certain in its effects and no relapses follow. Our practice in this branch of our specialty is con stantly growing from recommends by former patients who have been cured. "WFAKNFSS" rs dsease tne functions by no means indicates general nervous decline, but is a direct result of inflammation, enlargement or excessive sensi tiveness of the prostate gland brought on by early dissapation or resulting from some improperly treated contracted disorder. These conditions cannot possibly be removed by internal medicines alone, and any tonic system of treatment that stim ulates activity of the functions can but result in aggravation of the real ailment. This is a scientific truth, that we have ascertained by careful study and observation in hundreds of cases, and is the truth upon which our own original system of treatment is based. We employ neither tonics, stimulants or electric belts. We treat mainly by local methods, and our success in curing even those cases that others have failed to even temporarily relieve with their tonics is conclusive evidence that our method affords the only possible means of a complete and radical cure. VARICOCELE Varicocele is a relaxation, knotting and twistinsr of the most important blood vessels of the sexual system. It stagnates the local circulation of waste and repair. Neglect brings derangement of func tions and injury to the general health. Most physicians resort to surgical operations and hospital treatment. We cure varicocele without operation, pain or detention from business. Our cures are absolutely permanent, and no ill effects whatever can follow our treatment. "We can treat most cases successfully by letter, but prefer one personal examination if possible. Should we accept your case you can rest assured that a complete and permanent cure will follow our treatment. CONTRACTED DISORDERS To but partially cure a contracted disorder is almost as dangerous as to allow it to go untreated. Unless every particle of infection and inflammation is removed the proba bility exists that the disease will gradually work its way into the general system. Still greater is the danger of the prostate gland becoming chronically inflamed, which always brings on partial or complete loss of power. Perhaps 25 per cent of the cases of so-called "weakness" are a direct result of some improperly treated contracted disease. In hundreds of cases we have recently treated we have effected a thorough and safe cure in every instance. There have been no relapses or undesirable developments whatever, and our patients have been cured in a shorter time than usually required in such cases. REFLEX AILMENTS ZjrZZ 7 flex ailment resulting from some other disease. Weakness sometimes comes from varicocele or stricture; skin and bone disease result from blood poison taint, and physical and mental decline follow long-standing functional disorder. Our long experience in treating men enables us to determine the exact conditions that exist, and to treat accordingly, thus removing every damaging cause and its effects. ftPFRATIONS me defonnites and disorders render cir cumcision advisable, and in such cases we offer a servlee not to be had elsewhere. Onr method of per forming the operation is absolutely painless, and the patient need not be detained from his business a single day. Nor is there necessity of further calls for having the wound dressed, for so carefully and neatly is the work accomplished that a single dressing is sufficient. We invite all interested in cir cumcision to consult us. DR. W. NORTON DAVIS & CO. Our Book Affords an Interesting Study of the Male Anatomy. We Send It Free by Mail.
