THE MORNING OEEGONIAJJ, FBIDAY; SEPTEMBER 9, 1904.
POPULISTS TO RISE
Parker . Does Not Appeal to
Members of Party.
WILL FILE A NATIONAL TICKET
propping of Bryan and Turning of
Democratic Party Over to Hill
and Belmont Declared to Be
an Act of Treachery.
The Populist party la about to spring
Into life once more, stung by the
treachery o the Democrats In turning
their party over to the dictation o
Hill and Belmont. The Populists do
not like Parker or his political ad
visers, do not like the action of drop
ping the old tenets of faith promulgated
"by Bryan, and consider themselves to be
absolved by these actions from further as
sociation with the Democratic party of to
day. In lino -with thlsentiment, -which Is
growing each day, a movement is on foot
to put a Populist ticket In the field In
Oregon for November. A. P. Nelson, mem
ber of the old Populist executive com
mittee and prominent in the councils of
the party, says: "The Populists of Oregon
as well as of the rest of the United States
do not want to vote for Parker or for the
principles he represents. Since the Demo
crats have turned their party over to the
dictation of the powers of Wall street,
have abandoned the tenet3 by which the
support of the Populists was secured and
have generally repudiated any promises
made to the Populists, the latter are not
under any obligations to support the ticket
jiamed and will not consent to do so.
"A meeting will be called in a short
time for the consideration of the question
of what is best to he done. To this meet
ing will come the representative leaders
of the Populist party, who at one time
controlled 31,000 of the votes of Oregon,
find It is assured that the attendance will
be large. At that meeting some plan of
action tending toward the .formation of a
ticket will be outlined. "Whether a con
vention will be called, or whether the
work will be left in the hands of the old
executive committee, which is still in ex
istence, is not at this time known, but will
be determined at the meeting. One thing,
however, is certain, that four men will be
chosen to represent the Populists as
nominees for election to the National
Electoral College."
"Will thl3 action have any result on
the outcome? Oregon Is Republican. What
will the new ticket signify?" Mr. Nelson
was asked.
"The ticket will give the Populists,
Bryan Democrats and the Silver Repub
licans a chance to express protest at the
action of the Democratic party in giving
the control of the party to Hill and Bel
mont and their friends of Wall street, and
to show the release of the betrayed from
any obligation to the party since it has
abandoned the beliefs and doctrines that
drew the support of the Populists. The
sentiment Is general and in some of the
doubtful states will defeat the Democrats,
ior it will split the ticket and rob them
of that support without which they can
not hope to win.
"The Populists also," continued Mr. Nel
son, "wish to show their displeasure at
the selection of a prominent Palmer and
Buckner Elector as the National commit
teeman for this state. The Populist feels
that he has been betrayed and desires
some manner of showing that he knows
what has happened. There is not a Popu
list In the state who wants to vote for
Parker or will do so if there le any way
out of the difficulty. Some of them would
vote for Roosevelt before they would sup
port the Democratic ticket, but If they
did so it would be more in a spirit of re
venge -than for the reason that the voter
approved of the policy of the Republican
party.
"I wish to take issue with Dr. Hill, In
his address of a dayorso ago, when he says
that Mr. Bryan is a wolf In sheep's cloth
ing. I do not think that Bryan la insin
cere, but I think that .he has made a mis
take in supporting the Democratic party
at this time. It would have been better
lor him to have bolted the ticket, and if
the Democrats should be successful In No
vember, Bryan will be as dead to the
party as a salt mackeraL Hill and Bel
mont want him to lead his following into
the fold, but when that is once done they
have no further use for the man from
Nebraska."
Mr. Nelson etates that Tom Watson, the
Populist nominee for President, will bo
In Oregon In a short time and will deliver
four speeches while here, one In Eastern
Oregon, two in Portland and one In South
ern Oregon. The dates have not yet been
set, but the fact of Mr. Watson's coming
is assured. From the agitation that is
being aroused and the growing sentiment
against the Parker ticket, Mr. Nelson cal
culates that the Democratic vote will be
cut in half in Oregon, and not only that
but as a further result the Populist party
will once more become a factor in the
politics of the Nation.
HOW PRINCESS ESCAPED.
Count Had Bribed Nightwatchman,
and He Could See Nothing.
PARIS, Sept. 9. Princess Louise, of Co
burg, and Lieutenant Count Mattaslsch
Keglevich are living In the central quar
ter of Paris, but their exact location is
carefully concealed. The Princess, how
ever, received a friend of Count Matta-slsch-Keglevich,
a journalist, and told to
him the story of her escape from BaJel
ster. The Count, she said, contrived to send
messages to her through a hotel waiter.
When all was arranged the Princess left
the hotel at 2 o'clock In the morning, and
the nightwatchman, having been bribed,
saw nothing. A carriage was waiting
for her. In which she drove to Hof, where
she took train for Berlin and there re
mained concealed for two days.
The Princess said she intended to reach
the Prench frontier by automobile, but
owing to frequent breakdowns decided to
take a train at Hildeshlem, Prussia, for
Cologne, where she took a sleeplng-cai
for Paris. While crossing Belgian terri
tory, she said, a railway man recognized
the Count, but did not disturb the lugi
lives.
SUSPEISE FOE THE "BROWNS."
"Blues' In a Strong Position at Bull
Run Yet Undiscovered.
CORPS HEADQUARTERS, Gainesville,
Va., Sept. 9. General Grant, commanding
the "blue army, has taken up a strong po
sition behind Bull Run. This fact has not
yet been, ascertained by General BelL
commanding the attacking brown army.
General Grant selected the position be
hind Bull Run in which to defend Wash
ington, in order that It might he as easy
as possible lor his reinforcements which
are on the way to Join him. His position
is not what General Bell had evidently
calculated on, in ordering his turning
movement, so the situation to be devel
oped tomorrow Is one of exceeding In
terest. For this reason. General Bell's
army Is as yet fully 12 miles from the
main position of his adversary and his
advance Is being opposed by a single
brigade.
Mother Would Keep Children.
Testimony was heard by Judge Webster
yesterday in the matter of the applica
tion of the Boys' and Girls Aid Society
for iha-custody, -oi tho.-Xoux jminor chil-
dren'of Mrs. Ellen Shea. The evidence
In behalf of the society was relative to
the drinking habits of Mrs. Shea and
her neglect of her offspring. Sne has been
the mother of 13 children, and testified
that she raised them all well, and denied
drinking Intoxicants excessively. Judge
Webster will decide the case Saturday.
WELL REORGANIZE ARMY.
Russia Will Divide It and Make Kuro
patkln Chief Commander.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 9 (2:15 A. M.)
Besides the formation of two fresh army
corps as the first answer to the Japanese
success at Llao Tang, the Russian army
at the front will be reorganized, probably
In the form of two armies, in command
of General L-Inevitch and General Baron
Kaulbars, respectively, with General Ku
ropatkln as Commander-in-Chief. Gen
eral Kaulbars will go out with the two
army corps now organizing in the gov
ernments of Kazan, Odessa, "Vllna and
Kleff. General Unevltch has been or
dered by telegraph from Vladivostok to
Mukden.
This decision Is due in part doubtless to
the growing unwieldlness of the big force
under General Kuropatkin's command,
and .which will be largely increased by
constant reinforcements.
General Kuropatkin heretofore has han
dled every detail of the vast organization.
The work Is too much for one man, and
he Is now almost broken down under the
strain. It is known that the Emperor is
personally one of Kuropatkin's strong
supporters, and it Is thought the General
will In all probability retain chief com
mand of the two armies. Kuropatkin,
however, has been seriously criticized by
some of the Emperor's close military ad
visers, and it is possible he may eventual
ly be superseded. It Is understood the
Emperor's inspection of the Baltic fleet
at Cronstadt today is the last he will
make, and that the fleet, when it leaves
Libau, will proceed to the Far East.
INTENDED TO BLOW- HER UP
Japanese Board the Novik and Con
nect Wires With Mines.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 8. Two Jap
anese cruisers bombarded Korsakovsk,
Island of Sakhalien, yesterday, and fired
torpedoes at the sunken cruiser Novik.
No attempt was made to land. Korsak
ovsk is defended by coast batteries.
Lieutenant-General Ldeupounoff, Mili
tary Governor of the Island of Sakhalien,
in a dispatch to the Emperor dated yes
terday, has transmitted the report of the
Commander of the garrison of Korsak
ovsk on the visit of Japanese vessels to
that place Tuesday, as follows:
"At 6 A. M. the smoke of steamers was
observed at sea and the troops were pre
pared fpr action. Two Japanese trans
ports of 500 tons each anchored eight
versts out and two launches were lowered
n.nd nroceeded to the Novlk. At 10:45 the
order was given to fire volleys at the Jap
anese on board the Novik and In the.
lmmehcs. This nrlncr was so successful
that the deck of the Novik was cleared
nnri the launches returned to the trans
ports. The enemy returned the Russian
fire, but no damage was done. At 12:45
P. M. the transports put to sea.
"The Commander of tne garrison went
nn hoard th Novik and found a num-
vr nf rifles and some wires connected
with mines. The wires wore cut and nine
mines In different parts of the ship were
removed."
FROM MR, COTTERLTI1.
When He Said Labor He Didn't Mean
the Laboring Man Only.
SEATTLE, Wash., Bept. 7. (To the Editor.)
I note with Interest your criticism of my
Labor day address In Portland. The fairness
displayed In the publication of the entire ad
dress leaves me so much Indebted 'to you that
I have no disposition to complain at the crit
icism. Indeed, the address Itself Is a complete
answer to. the particular point to which you
took exception, and directed your editorial of
this morning. I fear that you read the ad
dress no further than the declaration criticised,
else you would have found the answers to the
Questions propounded to me. Had. 1 Btopped
where you did, the criticism would be well
founded. But that was only the preface. If
you will-glance down a paragraph or two be
low that criticised, you will find one beginning
like this: "But I can almost hear some one
thinking out loud, 'Has not capital the right
to a share In the product? " And from that
point on the address Is mainly devoted to an
affirmation of the rights of true capital, the
limitation of lta Just Interpretation, the abuses
and distortions of capital and their effects on
the "partnership with labor," etc Nowhere
Is there any suggestion of the limitation of
labor to manual labor, and I would be the last
to eliminate skill as a factor in the problem,
a class of labor worthy of the highest reward.
I trust you will do me the Justice to read the
entire addrese, and If It still merits the crit
icism, X have no complaint.
Again thanking you for the courtesy of pub
lication, I am very truly yours,
GEORGE F. COTTERXLI.
It seems from Mr. Cotterlli's gloss on his
speech that his assertions were to be
taken only In a Parkerlan sense. "When
he said that labor Is entitled to the full
measure of the product he meant to In
clude the labor of the organizer and the
stored labor of the accumulated capital.
It looks as If this is qualifying his pro
labor dogmas to death. "We cheerfully
make room, therefore, for his letter and
only express the hope that he is not the
equivocal friend of labor his explanation
would seem to imply.

INSIGNIA OF THE ORDER
AND LEGION
BESTOWED UPON COI-ONEIi II. E. DOSCH BY THE EMPEROR OF JAPAN.
Commissioner-General Henry D. Bosch, of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, upon
whom has been conferred by the Emperor of Japan the order of the Sacred Treasurer
and the Legion of Honor, received the Insignia of the order and the Legion yesterday.
Both are handsome decorations. The Insignia of the Order of Sacred Treasurer Is of
gold, finely Jeweled, and hears the name of the recipient In Japanese characters. It
la to be worn about the neck In evening ojpthes on Btate occasions. The Legion of
Honor Insignia Is a small button ornament of the finest Japanese silk, skillfully
woven about a metal design.
Both decorations are greatly sought after in Japan, and are extremely difficult to
obtain, being given only In recognition of some act of national Importance and ex
ceptional excellence. Colonel Dosch won hist decorations through his labors at the
Japanese "World's Fair several years ago.
one agency than at any previous month
on record. Twelve children, under 1
year of age, have been claimed as vic
tims, and Including adults 34 deaths
have resulted from bowel trouble in
that month. The total number of deaths
for the month was 101, which makes
thoso caused by bowel trouble average
a full one-third. This is very unusual,
and is attributed by the physicians of
the Board of Health to the heat and the
indiscriminate use of fruit
The majority of these fatalities"
among children occurred during the
latter part of August when the weath
er was not only hot but very dry, and
nearly all of them can be traced' to
the eating of green or over-ripe fruit
notwithstanding the fact that the child
ren were so young. "While this is not
a hot olimatc by any means, even mod
erate heat makes such a perceptible
change that it affects Infants, and inva
riably brings on trouble of the nature
referred to.
Dr. IL R. Biersdorf, of the Health Of
fice, stated that while cholera infantum
Is always prevalent during August and
September, the record this year is far
greater than -Is usuaL In regard to the
causes he said:
"The heat Is the direct cause of this
trouble among children, and Indiscrim
inate eating does the rest Parents are
not as careful as they should be In
watching the little ones during such
seasons and they often eat fruits which
are not ripened sufficiently.
"Many fatalities are caused by the
parents' delay in calling a physician
promptly. Many are prone to believe
that the good old homo remedies can
be relied uobn and make the mistake
of trying to alleviate the child's pain
by checking its trouble Instead of get
ting rid of the cause of it Painkillers
of all kinds arc used, and, when con
vinced that these will not cure, a- phy
sician is sent for. If he was summoned
when the trouble first appears he would
have a much better chance of saving
the child's life. -
"A good remedy? The best remedy I
know of is to get a doctor Just as
quickly as possible. Bismuth is a splen
did thing to give at such a time, but
no one should attempt to treat a case
of cholera Infantum on his own respon
sibility. "The total death rate for August was
Tower than usual, only reaching 101,
while it usually averages Xrom 115 to
120, but to have one-third of the deaths
infants is extraordinary. There have
been fully a half dozen fatal cases of
cholera Infantum reported this month,
and it is more than probable that this
disease will cause many more before
October sets in."
Dr. Mae Cardwell is of opinion that
the smoke and flying dust which both
ered Portland all during August may
in part be accountable for the unusual
number of cases from this cause. She
said:
"The more the dust flies the more
germs are carried about so I think this
may In a measure account for the un
usual amount of sickness. The dairy
milk is better right now than at any
time of the year, or than It has ever
been before, so I do not think the con
dition can be laid to that cause. I have
had a great deal of bowel trouble
among my cases, but have had no
deaths so far. It can always be ex
pected to appear In August however,
and everyone should exercise unusual
precaution, being particularly careful
about their food and what they give
children."
Another physician, prominent, on the
Board of Health, Is of the opinion that
carelessly used milk is In many cases
the direct cause of this trouble In
children.
"1 am something' of a crank- on .the
milk question," he stated, "and "be
lieve that If it were more carefully
handled from the time it Is taken from
the co-vv until fed to the child, many
little lives would be saved.
"Overripe fruit does just as much
damage as green fruit and both of
these often cause this trouble. A warm,
dry Summer will always develop such
trouble, however, so It Is not unusual
to have it appear, although the mor
tality seems so much greater than
usual this year."
Statistics show that in 1903 there
were In Portland only 128 deaths of
Infants under one year for the entire 12
months, and only 76 between the agea
of 1 and 5.
The following children have died of
cholera Infantum since August 1, and
with one exception have all been under

MINORITY IS THROWN OUT
GRAND AVENUE UNITED PRES
BYTERIAN REORGANIZED.
Twenty-Six Members Opposed to Rev.
J. H. Gibson Are Given Their
Letters of Withdrawal.
At the close of the regular prayer meet
ing of the Grand-Avenue United Presby
terian Church. Thursday night the
church was reorganized by the election
of "W. J. Maxwell and Dr. "W. B. Hamil
ton as eiders, with 74 members. This re
organization was accomplished under the
auspices of the home missionary board,
as represented by the committee of home
missions, composed of Rev. "W. P. "White,
superintendent of home missions; Rev. A.
McCracken, of Hopevllle, and E. F.
Socks, of Albany. Rev. Mr. "White pre
sided at the opening of the meeting, but
Rev. J. H. Gibson was substituted as
chairman.
Twenty-six of the former members, op
posed to Dr. Gibson, have taken their let-J
ters and withdrawn from the church. At
the last session of the Portland Presby
tery the Grand-Avenue Church was or
dered disorganized and Dr. Gibson dis
missed, but Mr. White says that at the
close of the session the matter of reor
ganization was placed by the Presbytery,
by majority vote, Into .the hands of the
home missionary committee, of which Mr.
"White is chairman, and that the action
Just taken In the re-establishment of the
church, officially, Is simply in accordance
with that resolution.
Mr. "White further says: "This will set
tle the difficulties In the Grand-Avenue
Church. Everything is now settled.
Those who were fighting the pastor are
out of the membership, and have nothing
more to say. They have their letters of
dismissal from the constituted authority."
On the other hand, the opponents of Mr.
Gibson say the fight Is not ended, and will
be carried up before the next session of
the Portland Presbytery, w,hlch meets In
the First Church of Portland, when It will
be shown that the reorganization is illegal
and void. It Is claimed by the opposition
that if the minutes of the last meeting of
the. Presbytery show that Superintendent
"W. P. "White and the home mission com
mittee, Mr. McCracken and Mr. Socks,
are authorized to re-establish and recon
struct the Grand-Avenue United Presby
terian Church, the resolution giving them
this power is an Interpolation and a for
gery, and was never passed by the last
meeting Of the session at its closing
hours, or at any time. The minutes of
the last session, say the opposition, havo
not been approved, and will not be ap
proved with the resolution authorizing
reorganization of- Grand-Avenue United
Presbyterian Church r and that if found
on the minutes will be expunged as an
Interpolation made after the adjournment
of the last Presbytery.
GRIND WHEAT IN NOVEMBER.
The Jobes Flour Mill In St. Johns
Ready for the Machinery.
The building for the Jobes Flour Mill
Company, under construction at St Johns,
Is nearlng completion, and In about a
week the machinery will be installed. At
the meeting of the St Johns Council Tues
day right was granted the O. H. & N. Co.
to lay In a sidetrack along the front of
tho plant from the spur. This sidetrack
will be laid in at once, and then the ma
chinery can be unloaded direct on the first
floor of the building.
The plant will be an up-to-date roller
flour mill with capacity for turning out
100 barrels per day. The main building
Is 40x60, and with the basement has four
stories. The mill contains two grain
bins extending from the first floor to the
top, each with a capacity of 14,000 bushels
of wheat An elevator will bo built be
tween the two bins at the front door by
which the grain can be lifted to the top
of the bins.
On the north side of the main structure
Is an annex 50x50, where the office will
be located, and which will be uded tot
storage purposes. It was being roofed
yesterday. At the close of the present
week the building will be completed.
"Electric power will be used, and a dy
namo of 2000 horse-power will be Installed
on the first floor. The basement will be
used for shafting.
Contractors "White and Hoss say they
expect to have the plant finished so the
mill can commence grinding wheat about
the first of November.
MIDWAY WANTS IMPROVEMENT
Association Asks for Repairs of Mil
waukie Road and New Schoolhouse.
At a meeting of the Midway Improve
ment Association last night the commit
tee on the Improvement of the Milwaukie
road south from Holgate street made re
port, saying that the matter had been
taken up with the County Court Prom
ises had been made that something would
be done. The association decided to push
the matter vigorously upon the attention
of the court
Tho committee oh schoolhouse reported
that the present building would -be re
paired and used, and that two teachers
would bo employed. It Is proposed to
start a campaign for the erection of a
new schoolhouse to serve that portion of
the district between Clinton Kelly and the
Sellwood Schools, which is rapidly filling
up . with new houses. Tho Sellwood
schoolhouse was overcrowded with pupils
last year. There are about 25 new houses
going up near the Milwaukie roa5i, and
hence the little building at Midway will
bo found too small, in the opinion of the
association. Other minor Improvements
were discussed.
The association has recommended
change of the names of a number of
streets,-which conflict with the names of
streets In other portions of the city. The
next meeting of the association will be
held at the Portland Crematorium.
WILL BUILD PENINSULA-LINE.
Railway Officials Look With Favor
Upon This Branch.
Francis L McKenna, one of the pro
moters of the branch railway from North
Alblna and Macrum avenue, on the Penin
sula, says that If the franchise is given
for the line, it will be built, accepted and
operated by the consolidated railway
company. He says that he has talked
with the officials of both the Portland
Railway and the City & Suburban Rail
way Companies, and they have given him
assurance that the branch will be built
over the route selected.
Mr. McKenna does not spare Council
man Flegel for delaying the passage of
the franchise Wednesday, and says he
cannot see how a man could hold up so
Important an enterprise In his own yard.
"Since Mr. Flegel became an attorney
for .the Union Oil Company," said Mr.
McKenna, "he Is willing to foster the In
terests of the company and sit down on
this branch railway. The action of Coun
cil will . delay the matter about three
weeks, and If not killed entirely the lino
will be built "Work must go forward
very soon, or It will fall through by fail
ure to comply with the terms of the sub
sidy." This is the branch on the peninsula for
which a S2S,00Q subsidy was raised. It was
to be built and turned over to the Port
land Railway Company free of debt, and
thus be operated as a part of Its system
of trackage. Some preliminary work was

TRAGIC INSOMNIA
Murderous Rage Caused by lack of
Sleep Proves Fatal to
Two People.
A fearful tragedy recently occurred In
Philadelphia, where a prominent chem
ist shot both his wife and himself after
a desperate strutrcle. His physicians
are reported as saying that the terrible
affair was due to mental derangement
caused by sleeplessness.
Many suffer from this cause without
knowing how to obtain relief while
their condition dally grows more des
perate. All such will read with Inter
est how Mr. Thomas Hessian, of South
Hampton, N. H., finally succeeded in
ridding himself of an attack of insom
nia which baffled the skill of his physi
cian. Mr. Hessian is a farmer, and Is in the
habit of retiring very early. It was in
April, 1903, that he found he could no
longer get the sleep he needed to fit
him for his day's duties.
"I would turn from one side to an
other In bed," says Mr. Hessian, "but I
could not get over fifteen minutes' sleep
before I was awake again, and when I
got up in the morning I was more tired
than when I went to bed at night. I
consulted a physician, who said I had
insomnia. He prescribed for me, but
his medicine did me no good, and I be
gan to feel that I would have to give up
work altogether.
"While I was in this miserable state
and utterly discouraged, I chanced to
see an advertisement of Dr. "Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, and was so
Impressed by the evident truthfulness
of the statements made that I made up
my mind to, give the remedy a trial.
"It was In June that I took my first
dose of the pills. Before I had finished
the first box I noticed a slight Improve
ment in my condition, and as I contin
ued to use the remedy the benefit be
came more marked, until, when the
fifth box was gone, I could enjoy a
sound, restful sleep and wake up in the
morning refreshed and ready to take up
my work with, my old-time energy. My
health has since remained excellent; I
have a good appetite, strength to do a
hard day's work, and ability to sleep
soundly and to wake up In buoyant
spirits."
Insomnia ultimately wrecks heajth
completely. Its earliest manifestations
should be checked at once by the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which cure all
disorders of the blood and nerves. They
are sold by all druggists.
