THE MORNING OBEGOyiA. , WEDNESDAY,, NOVEMBER 2, 1904. ERGE IS !N PERIL Apathy Is Resented by Combi nation Headed by Northwest MUST GIVE BIG VOTE TO MEAD Otherwise County May Be Districted With King, and Foster and Cush man Both Be Defeated for Re-Election. OIEHPIA, "Wash.. Noy 1. Special.) A combination .of the .Northwest, South west and Eastern Washington members of the next Legislature and the passage of a bill jflaclng Pierce and King Coun ties in . one Congressional .-district is the threat now being held ov.er the Republic ens of Fierce County to compel them to exert themselves in behalf of Mead and the balance of the Republican state ticket Warnings have heretofore been given fierce County that to secure any chance for the re-election of Senator Foster it must give a substantial majority for Mead. The danger of Joslng Congress man Cushman two years hence and the -wiping of Pierce County off the political map of the State of "Washington is now being seriously discussed as the penalty for failure to respond in accordance with the favors heretofore granted the. county by the Republican party. Cushman is being severely criticised by Republicans for Jeaving his county at euch a critical time to go East and speak ior the National Committee. The description of the dangers of the eituatlon In Pierce County, as contained in the staff correspondence of The Ore gonlan of Monday, gave the Republicans of Southwest "Washington their first thor ough understanding of what was going on In Tacoma, and although the members of the Legislature to be elected by Thurs ton County are known to be for Foster and although the county will give a big rote for Cushman, the political future of these two favorites is openly admitted to be dark and gloomy. The talk of a combination to place Pierce and King in one Congressional district was frank and open yesterday and today, with the complete understand ing that such a measure would mean the elimination of Cushman two years hence, as a result of -the immensely larger vote of King County, which wants a Congressman Itself. The Morning Olympian, of this city, well known as a strong friend of Senator Foster, In an editorial today frankly ad mits that there is danger to both Foster and Cushman in the present apathy of the Republicans In Pierce County, and it open ly declares that a Congressional district ing bill of the kind mentioned above would likely be the outcome of the defeat of Mead In Pierce County. The Oregonlan 3taf correspondent Is complimented for the fairness of the articles written by him .from this state. EASTERNERS WELL SATISFIED State Treasurer Moore Believes Roosevelt Will Win Easily. SALEM, OrT, Nov. L (Special.) "That the election of Roosevelt is a foregone conclusion seems to be the opinion of the people or the East, and they are paying little, attention to politics," said State Treasurer Moore today, upon his return from a visit to St Louis and other largo cities on the other side of the Rockies. "I didn't head any political talk, except when I made inquiries, and from what I could learn, the lack of Interest is due to the conviction that the result is al ready certain. "The fact of the matter is that the peo ple are pretty well satisfied. The Repub licans see no reason to be dissatisfied. They have a candidate whose official rec ord Is approved by them, and the results of whose most important acts have been practically approved -by the Democrats. In view of the satisfactory record of their own party's administration for the last eight years, the members of the Repub lican party see no reason why they should now vote for the candidates of a party that has been wrong in its policies for 40 years. The people are not demanding a change: hence, the lack of interest in the election. "So far as I could learn, it is certain that Indiana and Illinois will go Repub lican. That was the impression I got from inquiries I made. In Colorado I was told that there is some doubt aobut Peabody winning, but the state is con sidered safe for Roosevelt Montana is claimed as a Republican state by men whom I believe to be in a position to Judge of the probable outcome." State Treasurer Moore is enthusiastic over what he saw at St Louis, and only regrets that he could not take more time to visit the Fair. One week was his limit but he could have spent a month there without seeing all that would have been of interest "Oregon's exhibits were small, but not lacking In quality, as the premiums awarded prove. The Oregon building at tracted a great deal of attention, and many people visited it every day. The only cause for regret is that the building could not have been made two stories high and filled wnu exhibits of Oregon products. The loghouse attracted the at tention of the people, but after they went Into it they found very little that would give them any Idea of Oregon's in dustries and resources. "I am not criticising the management for the commission doubtless did the best it could with the small amount of money available: but the Oregon building would have been of very much greater value as an advertisement If it had been filled with exhibits of Oregon products. "No, I do not think that the loghouse gave any one a wrong Impression of Oregon. We simply did not use it to as good advantage as we might have done for advertising purposes." INSTITUTIONS NEED MONEY. Washington Legislature Will Be Called Upop to Add to Capacity. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Nov. 1. Special.) In its biennial report now in progress of completion, the State Board of Control will make a strong appeal to the Legisla ture for appropriations for adding to the capacity of all the state institutions, with the possible exception of the Reform School at Chehalls. This decision is the outcome of the inspection trip Just com pleted by the members of the board, which included visits to all the institutions. The penitentiary and the Western Wash ington Hospital for the Insane seem to be in the greatest need. At the latter place the carpenter shop has been made Into a dormitory for the saner patients and the unused "basement has been fitted up as a makeshift ward. At the Soldiers' Home the hospital . is' greatly crowded, and there are prospects that it will have still greater calls upon its facilities as time progresses. The Eastern Washington Hospital is over crowded, and the passage of an act by the last Legislature admitting Idiots to the School for Defective Youth has overtaxed the capacities of that institution. The Re form School is crowded, but it is be lieved it can tide over another fiscal per iod without additional buildings. Turner Expcts to Be Elected. OLTMPIA .Wafa.t Nov; L-aiclU.) A large but somewhat undemonstrative audience braved the inclement weather tonight filled the Olympla Theater to overflowing and listened intently to a two-hour speech by George Turner. Democratic candidate for Governor. Mr. Turner followed the lines laid down by him In previous speeches, confining his re marks largely to state issues, arguing in favor of a railway commission and the higher taxation of railway property: cen suring the last Republican Legislature for failure to make good platform pledges, and grilling the Tacoma convention. Mr. Turner claimed to have gauged conservatively the sentiment in every por tion of the state and expresed a certain conviction that he would be elected Gov ernor. OVATION IS GIVEN MEAD. Seattle Audience Rises and Cheers Candidate for Three Minutes. SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 1. (Special.) A. E. Mead, Republican candidate for Governor, spoke tonight before the largest and most enthusiastic crowd gathered dur ing the present campaign. Both in point of attendance and in enthusiasm, -the audience excelled the gathering that heard Secretary of Treasury Leslie M. Shaw at the outset of the campaign. This is sig nificant in view of the fact that the meet ing was held In the temporary Armory building, removed more than 20 blocks from the theaters, where most public .gatherings are held. T. D. Rockwell, of Spokane, a member of the delegation from that county in the "last Republican State Convention, bluntly told the Seattle audience that the Republicans of the state would, not sup port a Senatorial candidate coming from a county that refused to stand by the Republican ticket It was for Mead himself, though, that the crowd was eager, and when the nom inee was Introduced, men leaped to their feet to cheer his name for nearly three minutes. At the outset Mr, Mead de nounced the story that ho was the nom inee of railroad influences and declared he accepted the nomination with a dis tinct understanding that he was unpledged to any Interest or faction. Mr. Mead declared he had but one doc trine for the entire state and proceeded, to reiterate his declaration that he would not only sign a railroad commission bill, but guarantee the appointment of impar tial and capable and honest commission ers. He denounced Turner's statement that he would coerce the Legislature or use the patronage of his office to influence the lawmaking body. Mr. Mead Insisted the executive was not justified by popular will or the Constitu tion in attempting to dictate to the Leg islature upon Its prerogatives. John L. Wilson, J. M. Fzink and F. C Harper, of Seattle, and L. B. Nash, of Spokane, also Bpoke. So Voter May Discriminate. HELENA, Mont, Nov.

CorUr LU tk Xlvjta; Fine Srr. th BREWERS MUST BUY Nearly at. the End of Waiting Game, Their H0PGR0WERS HOLDING FIRM Conrad Krebs, of Salem, Looks for a Forty-Cent Market Believes a Pool to Be a Good Plan. SALEM. Or., Nov. 1. (Special.) "Wait till things begin to move and you'll see something- dlng in the hop business," said Conrad Krebs today, during a dis cussion of the situation in Oregon's most interesting produce market "The Amer ican brewers will wake up one of these days and begin to buy hops then the price will begin to jump. I would not be surprised to see them get excited and then the advances would be five cents at a time, instead of one cent or half a cent The American brewers have bought few hops thus far, but they've got to buy. and there Is no way out of it "The market situation is stronger to day than it was In 1882 when hops went to a dollar a pound: I'm not predicting that the price will go to a dollar a pound on 1901 hops, but I would not be surprised if an excited market should carry the figure that high before next year's crop Is ready for use. "No, I'm not predicting any particular price, though I feel confident 40 cents wfll bo paid. We have 1500 bales that we are holding for a higher price. We bought 116 bales of the F. Van Wassenhove crop at Champoeg today at 30 cents, for specula tion, so you see we have confidence in the market "What do I think of a pool? I believe it Is a good plan. At the same time. I am glad to see the weak holders letting their hops go, and the sooner they are all sold out the better It will be for the rest of us. The market will not advance as long as growers are letting hops go at present prices. As soon as the weak holders have sold, and brewers find they can get no more hops at present prices, they will begin to bid up and they will keep bidding until they get the hops. A hop pool could be formed and it would stiffen the market very materially, for it would show the brewers that the growers are determined to hold. "The fact of the matter is that the brewers do not realize the real situation. Year after year they have been told that there was a shortage but they found out afterward that this shortage did not ex ist Now they won't believe the reports and are waiting. But they will find out in due time whether there is a shortage or not Not in 20 years has there been such a heavy export trade up to this time of the year as there has been in 1904. England is still 400,000 hundred weight short and the American cup has been sold below the quantity needed for home con sumption. Old hops and old-olds have been cleaned up and the 1904 crop must be used before the new crop comes on. "Forty cents doesn't look big to me." The hop market at Salem has been very quiet for some time and a number of dealers said today that they have no or ders at any price. "This does not mean that the brewers don't u-an; the hops or don't need them, "but that they are play ing a waiting game," said a prominent Salem dealer. "They have waited this long and have a few hops to fill their pres ent needs and think they may as well wait a little lbnger. They can't see any use in making pffers, for the growers won't sell at th6 prices named. If they offer an adltlonal cent a pound, the grow er puts up his price another cent, and the offer does no good. It Is a waiting game and the side that waits the longest will win. "I would like io se the growers sell because I would like to do some busi ness, but if I were in the growers' places I would do as .they are doing- The situa tion from the growers' standpoint looks exceedingly good. Stijl, I don't look for an advance right away. This is a waiting market" A few small sales have been made here In the last few days, but they were most ly among dealers or the purchasers wero made by dealers for speculation and the transactions have not become public. The price Is from 30 to 31 cents, 30 having been paid today for a small lot of primes. BORROWS MONEY DISAPPEARS Fears That. Monroe Miller, of Linn County, Is Mentally Deranged. ALBANY, Or., Nov. L (Special.) Mon roe Miller, .a well-known citizen of "Linn County, has disappeared from his home near Halsey with $2500 in his possession, and nothing has been heard concerning him for the past week. About two weeks ago Miller told his relatives that he In tended to pay some debts, among them be ing a mortgage of J1700 on his dairy and stock farm near Halsoy. With this sup posed purpose in view he mortgaged a tract of land recently left him by his father for $IS00 and also borrowed $700, his brother signing a note with 'him. Miller then disappeared without paying any of the debts. No reason is given for Miller's mysteri ous disappearance. All indications point to the supposition that he left home volun tarily, not expecting to return, as there are no Indications at all of foul play. Reports from Halsey both hint at and deny domestic troubles. The theory Is also advanced that he has become dis couraged over money matters and Is tem porarily mentally deranged. Miller is about 40 years old and has been a resident of Halsey all his life. He comes from a well-known and highly-respected pioneer family, his father 'being Enoch Miller. Hle family consists of a wife and three children. PLOTTED JAILER'S DEATH. Lewis Break for Liberty Thwarted by Released Prisoner. OREGON CITY. Or. Nov. 1. (Special.)

There are 11 defendants and 69 other persons who are under the same charge are being held under ball. Nine hundred and seventy-five of the 1101 wit nesses are present. The government'3 wit nesses are attempting to prove that the disorders of September 11, 1903, were in the nature of anti-Christian riots and not of an anti-Jewish character. It is alleged that. the first riot was or ganized by Jews to' take vengeance for the Klshlnef affair, while the rioting two days after was a retaliation upon the Jews. The government produced evidence to prove that the Jews were thoroughly organized and armed and had prearranged signals, regular leaders, adopted a provoc ative attitude toward the Christians and acted overbearingly, insulting peasants In the streets and jostling them off the side walks. The affair of September, it is added, grew out of a trifling quarrel between a Christian forester and a Jewess over the purchase of a herring. The Jewess spat in tho forester's face, a fight followed and Jews ran up and belabored the for ester. Some Christians from the bazaar hurried to the rescue of the forester. The free fight then became general, the Jewish signal was given and the whole Jewish population assembled, attacking the Christians regardless of sex or age, a girl being dragged along the road by her hair. The peasants abandoned their goods in the bazaar and fled. One of them was stabbed in the neck and killed. The po lice and a Lieutenant and four soldiers tried to restore order, but stones were showered upon them, and they were fired at from windows of neighboring houses, the Jews shouting: 'We are going to be avenged; this Is not Klshlnef." The polico and soldiers finally escaped, owing to the Interposition of a rabbi. Two days later some railroad workmen who had announced they Intended to take vengeance on the Jews came into the town at noon. The police had been warned and a company of eoldlers was brought In and halted the workmen at the bridge. The Jews assembled behind the soldiers, the two sides anathematizing each other, finally hurling stones. Ap peals of the police chief to the rioters to disperse were in vain. At last a police man was struck by a brickbat and the workmen, shouting "The Jews have killed a policeman," surged across the bridge. Then there were revolver shots from the Jews, whereupon the Captain commanding the eoldlers placed his com pany between the opposing forces, and the workmen finally were dispersed in the di rection of the suburbs. But the Jews would not even listen to a rabbi who was present, and the sol diers finally charged them with bayonets, and access to the wealthy Jewish quarter wag closed. In the meantime the workmen were' re assembling on the outskirts of the town and began pillaging, and a detachment of soldiers was continually engaged in dis persing them, while the Jews elsewhere were attacking every Christian they could find. The first volley fired by the soldiers was in the quarter known as "Mary," where two workmen were killed. In all the troops fired three volleys, killing- two more workmen and one Jew. The total result of the rioting was three noncom missioned officers, two soldiers, two Jews and two Christians killed and four Chris tians and four Jews wounded. A num ber of policemen -were also killed or wounded. About 250 houses and shops of Jews were pillaged. The rioting continued all the afternoon and only ceased at nightfall. Revolution Is Not Feared. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1. Felipe Gallcia, local Consul-General of. Guate mala, today received dispatches from his government to the effect that the recent reports that his country la threatened with a revolution are without foundation. THE ROOT OF THE MATTER He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach Trouble by Getting Down to First Principles. A man of large affairs In one of our prominent Eastern cities by too close at tention to business, too little exercise and too many club dinners, finally began to pay Nature's tax, levied In the form of chronic stomach trouble; the failure of his digestion brought about a nervous irritability, making it impossible to apply himself to his dally business and finally deranging the kidneys and heart. . In his own words he says: "I consulted one physician after another, and each one seemed to understand my case, but all the same they each failed to bring about the return of my former digestion, appe tite and vigor. For two years I went fronx plllar to post, from one sanitarium to an other, I gave up smoking. I quit coffee and even "renounced my dally glass or two of beer, but without any marked Improve ment. "'Friends had often advised me to try a well-known proprietary medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I had often pe rused tho newspaper advertisements of the remedy,, but never took any stock in advertised medicines, nor could believe a 50-cent patent medicine would, touch my case. ' , "To make a long story short, I finally bought a couple of packages at the near est drugstore and took two or three tab lets after each meal and occasionally a tablet between meals, when I felt any feeling of nausea or discomfort. "I was surprised at tho end of the first week to note a marked Improvement In my appetite and general health and before tho two packages were gone I was cer tain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure completely, and they did not disappoint me. I can eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and cigar and no one would suppose I had ever known the horrors of dyspepsia. "Out of friendly curiosity'l wrote to the proprietors of the remedy asking for information as to what the tablets con tained and they replied that the principal Ingredients were aseptic pepsin (Govern ment test), malt diastase and other nat ural digestives, which digest food regard less of the condition of the stomach." The root of the matter Is this, the di gestive elements contained in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the foo$, give the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate and the nerves and whole system receive the nourishment which can only come from food; stimulants and nerve tonics- never give real strength, they give a fictitious strength. Invariably followed by reaction- Every drop of blood, every nerve and tissue Is manufactured from our dally food, and If you can in sure it sprompt action and complete di gestion by the regular use of so good and wholesome a remedy as Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, you will have no need of. ftervs tonics and sanitariums.
