Senatorial Aspirant Will 'Entertain f Lavishly In Horr Mansion, Se- cured-'st'J'High RentaJ, for ihrjUk of Wis Family.': 1 OL.YMPIA, "Wash., Nov.' 17.-r(Speclal.) J , Today witnessed in OJympta a flurry among the iriends of. United States Sena-. ijorlal candidates, and. a flood of letters iand telegraphic Inquiries Xrom Legialatv ors concerning rooms during the session , of the Legislature. The rental on places feuitaole for Senatorial headquarters has gone, skyward as the result of the burn ing -of the Olympla Hotel. ' The Mitchell Hotel, a new two-story, 1 SO-room hotel, a half block north of the turned Olympla hotel, today sold all its available space for "the sesslomto Charles , Sweeny, the Spokane Senatorial candl- date. Negotiations had been pending for some time for the rooms, but demands ' and appeals on the management for quar- ters caused Sweeny's managers to act quickly. Today George Stevenson and! Ben Everett, of Tacoma, and- Charles Hopkins, of Spokane, came to Olympla and closed the deal. Prior -tothe completion of the negotia tions the management received several appeals for accommodations, giving him . the privilege of .Earning his .price Defi nite offers of 56 per day for pne Toom and bath were received. John H. McGraw, of Seattle, "has been negotiating for the rental of airs. J. C. ' Horr's 12-room residence near the busi ness portion of the city for -the Jeglslatlve session. Today the rental of the residence was jumped to 5700 for the two months. McGraw is supposed to be acting for S. H. Piles, King County's aspirant for the Senatorshlp. Foster's friends were also after the Horr residence but today secured headquarters In the Reed block, across the street north from the CapltoL Senator Foster will have about a dozen rooms on the second floor. Senator A. T. Vandevanter and others of Seattle have also been negotiating, for the Horr residence, but It is understood tonight that Mr. Sweeny has secured this also and will install his family there dur ing the session here. They will entertain lavishly. The majority of Olympla people feel that the payment of exorbitant rents for the average legislator or attendant upon the session is not Justified by the burning of the Hotel Olympla. Several movements Jiave already started by the smaller ho tels for Increasing their accommodations, and arrangements will undoubtedly be t! made to care for all comers. Mrs. T. I. McKenny, owner of the Mo A Kenny block, which was occupied by the 1 state officers for a number of years, has ,4 made a liberal offer to turn the building i over to a stock company for hotel pur poses. It can be converted within 60 days Into an admirable 75-room hotel, with all modern conveniences, and furnished for , 510.000. It Is now proposed to utilize the main rotunda of the new Capitol for a social lobby during the session. This can be ' done by installing chairs, desks, etc., at a moderate cost, and thus the place of the nig hotel lobby that has been so neces sary during previous sessions would be supplied.

Its proper discipline. Its hon orable conduct and the general welfare of the Inmates, as well as a due consider ation for the public Interests, prompts me , to say to you, with all due respect, that it would not be possible for me to again place the said Kelley In a position where he could continue his irregularities and i . peculations."

PAINTERDR0WN5INSNAKE SCAFFOLD ON BRIDGE SPILLS TWO MEN INTO THE RIVER. Strong Swimmer Cries to Rescuers to Save His Partner, and Is Drowned Himself. WEISER, Idaho, Nov. 17. (SpeciaL) An accident occurred at the big bridge being constructed across the Snake River at this place, by which Clarence Walton, one of the brldgcmen. was drowned, and Clyde Baptlste, "another bridge employe, was pulled out of the stream as he was sink ing for the last time. Tho men were painting the steelwork on the underside of the bridge when the plat form, on which they were standing was precipitated into the river, the men fol lowing it. The stream at that point is deep and swift, and the men were rapidly carried down the stream. Boats were manned and started from the shore to rescue them. Walton, who was an expert swimmer, yelled to the men In the boats to. save Baptlste. as he -could swim out. Baptlste was pulled into the boat Just as Walton gave a yell for help and sank out of sight. It is supposed ho was attacked by cramps, as the water. Is very cold. Walton came here from Salt Lake City about three months since to work on the bridge.

Oregon Attorney-General's Opinion on Mrs. Reed's Bequests. SALEM. Or., Nov. 17. (Speclal.)-At-torney-General Crawford today rendered an opinion In which he holds that the bequests of Amanda W. Reed to the Reed Institute, the Portland Library Associa tion, tho Portland Art- Association and the First Unitarian Church, of Portland, aro not subject to the inheritance tax. for the reason that they5 " are bequests to charitable Institutions. It is also held that the bequests to the Troupe Poly technic School, at .Pasadena, Cal.. and the First Unitarian Church, at Qulncy, I1L. are subject to the tax. for the rea son that those Institutions are not incor porated under tho laws of this state, and hence do not come within the ex emptions provided by law. The only circumstance which caused Attorney-General Crawford to hesitate to declare the proposed Reed Institute a charitable Institution was the fact that the will of Mrs. Reed provides that mod erate fees for admission and tuition may be charged when necessary. As his opinion In this case will guide tho Treas ury Department In all similar cases, the Attorney-General gave the subject ex haustive consideration before rendering an opinion. Upon this question he says: la the case of Pennoycr vs. "Wadhama. char ity Is defined as a "sift to be applied consist ently with existing laws for the benefit of an indefinite number of persons, cither by bring ing their minds or hearts under the influence of education or religion, or by relieving; their bodies from disease, nafferlng or constraint, or by assisting them to establish themselves in life, or by erecting or maintaining public build ings or works, or otherwise lessening the bur dens of government. It is immaterial whether the purpose is called charitable in the gift Itself, if it is so described an to show that it is charitable in its nature." From the foregoing, it Is apparent that a public charity is not necessarily a ffee gift of something to the general public or a portion thereof, but it may consist la "assisting them to establish themselves in life." and certainly assisting them in acquiring an education comes within the rule. Placing an institution in their midst where for a moderate fee a higher education can be acquired is in its nature charitable. In the matter under consideration, fl50.00Q of the money and property devised and be queathed is to be used to purchase a site and erect buildings, and the income from the re mainder to maintain teachers, that deserving young men and women earning a living may be able to acquire a liberal education. 2o profit whatever or interest to the donor or her heirs will ever accrue, but after the- necessary cite 'and buildings are provided, the balance becomes a permanent fund, for the mainte nance of the institute. I am of the opinion that the fact that the trustees may, if necessary, charge a moderate fee for admission or tuition, does not deprive the bequest of Its charactervof a legal charity, and therefore that it is not liable to the in heritance tax; provided, said trustees incorpo rate under the laws of this state. The same reasoning, he says, applies to the bequests to the Portland Llrbary Association and the Portland Art Asso ciation. "SAN TOY" SINGER HURT. Host of Automobile Party Killed In Los Angeles Suburbs. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Nov. 17.

OREGON DAIRIES GROW PRODUCT SHOWS INCREASE OF $1,760,000 FOR THE YEAR. State Commissioner Bailey Embodies a Number of Suggestions in His Biennial Report. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 17. (Special.) That the dairy products of Oregon for 19M have a value of $$,7SO,000, or an increase of $1,i60,000 over the preceding year, 13 one of the important facts shown by tho bien nial report of State Food and Dairy Com missioner J. W. Bailey. "Quality and not quantity," says Mr. Bailey, "must be the motto of the dairy man," and that this Is the motto followed by a large proportion is indicated by that part of the report which shows that Ore gon dairymen are improving tho standard of dairy cows and are exercising more care In handling their cream and butter. "I doubt lf the dairymen of any other state In the Union received higher prices for their product than the dairymen of Oregon," says Mr. Bailey, and then he gives comparative . figures showing the prices paid during each month of the year 1904, up to November, at Elgin, 111., and Portland, Albany and Tillamook, Or. These figures show that Oregon dairymen never receive as low a price as Is paid for butter fat at Elgin, 111., but at some sea sons receive 10 cents per pound, or prac tically 0 per cent more. Last January, for example, the price of butter fat at Portland was 31)4 cents, while at the samo time It was only 21)4 In Elgin. In May, when the lowest price was paid In Oregon, 22 cents was the quotation for butter fat in Portland, while only 21 cents was paid in Elgin. On the first of the present month Elgin farmers received but 23 cents a pound, while Port land creamerymen were paying 31)4 cents. Mr. Bailey also reports that Oregon cheese brings the highest market price. He said: In the next few years there will be great de velopment of the dairy resources of this state. The admirable climate and general facilities are not surpassed by any other location. Many settlers are coming from the Eastern States, who will take up much of the uncultivated land, and turn it into profitable returns through the dairy business. The dairy Industry will yield the largest re turns on' this untllled land. Throughout the coast counties the pasturable land Is being rap idly stocked with milch cowa The demand for dairy products is such that no fear is en tertained that the market will be overrun. Mr. Bailey's report covers the two years of the biennial term, and shows the fol lowing statistics: DAIRY PRODUCT OF 1003. Creamery butter, 4,500,000 pounds.... $1,525,000 Dairy butter, -1,000.000 pounfls 720.000 Cheese, 2,600,000 pounds : 325,000 Milk 2.000.000 Cream, other than used for butter.... 450.000 Total value for 1003 J5.020.000 DAIRY PRODUCT FOR 1904.. Creamery butler. 5.500,000, pounds. ...$1,375,000 Dairy butter, 3,000.000 pounds 540.000 Cheese, 2.250,000 pounds - 247.500 Milk 4,000.000 Condensed milk 310.500 Cream other than used for butter.... 307.000 Total value for 1904 58.7S0.000 Mr. Bailey suggests that more attention should be given to Winter dairying, for by proper attention to the principles of feeding the cost of production can be kept down nearly to the cost of Summer feed ing, and the highest price for the product is reached during the Winter months. Three condensed-milk factories are now in operation, with an aggregate of $225,000 invested capital and a dally capacity of 206,500 pounds of milk. The report contin ues: There are 200 dairies which furnish Portland's milk supply. I am glad to say that there has been considerable improvement In the sanitary conditions of these dairies, yet there is much room for improvement. I believe the time is ripe when every dairyman who supplies milk la this city should be compellefi to apply to the Comlsaloner for the Inspection of his herd and the condition of his dairy, and, when' conditions are such aa to Justify it. the Commissioner should then Issue a certificate to the effect that the holder la entitled to sell milk from this dairy. This certificate should be voidable at any time when he fails to keep his herd and dairy up to requirements. Mr. Bailey gives several pages of his report to valuable suggestions to dairymen and cannerymen. which suggestions, lf ob served, will tend to Improve the quality of the dairy product. He also reviews the work of the past two years, showing that by continual vigilance and frequent in spections he has greatly reduced the quan tity of adulterated Jellies, catsups and vinegars sold in this state. In the two years the Commissioner has not lost a case which he has brought to prosecute a violator of the pure-food law. Among the recommendations made by Mr. Bailey are the passage of an act more stringently regulating the sale of "pro cess" butter, an act regulating dairies, an act appropriating 3350 to pay the expense of enforcing the law against adulteration of kerosene and linseed oiL The total appropriation for the office of Dairy and Food Commissioner for two years beginning January L 1S03, was 57800. Of this, $6701.11 had been used prior to September 30. 1S04, leaving H093.S9 with which to complete the present year. WEBER CHARGED WITH MURDER Coroner's Jury Brings In Verdict on Auburn Slaughter.

Dam Delayed Fish "In Rogue. MEDFORD, Or., Nov. 17.-George H. Tolbert, of the United States Fish Com mission, who has been conducting the operations at tho Rogue River hatchery, located about 25 miles north of Medford. has been 'ordered away to take charge of the work at the Little White S&unon station on the Columbia River. He will be succeeded by E L Kelly, Jr. Mr. Tolbert has been in the service over 20 years, and is one of the most experi enced men on the commission. He has been at this point since last July. Although this year's eggs taken on the Rogue River is onjy 5,750,000 against 10, 000,000 taken last year, yet It Is the second largest take for this hatchery and. con sidering existing conditions, a very suc cessful year's work. The principal reason why the take is smaller this year than last is probably due to the fact that a suitable fish-ladder at the Ray dam was not completed in time to allow the fish to reach the station, which would natur ally ascend that far to spawn, also the salmon run was shorter this year than last -year.

This may read as though we were put ting It a little strong, "because It Is gen erally thought by the majority of people that dyspepsia In its chronic form is in curable or practically so. But we have lonff since shown that dyspepsia 13 cur able, nor Is It such a difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with dyspeptics is that thev are continually dieting, starving them selves, or going to opposite extreme, or else deluging the already overburdened stomach with "hitters, after-dinner pills." etc., which Invariably Increase the difficulty, even if in some cases they do give a slight, temporary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants Is a rest Now, how can the stomach be come rested, recuperated, and at the same time the body nourished and sustained? This Is a great secret, and this Is also the. secret of tho uniform success of Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is a com paratively new remedy, but its success and popularity leaves no doubt as to Its merit. the Tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of condltlonvof stomach. The sufferer from Dyspepsia, according to directions, is to eat an abundance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal, and the result Lwlll be that the food will be digested, no matter now o&a your uyspepsia may be. because, as before stated, thetablets will digest the food, even lf thex'storaach Is wholly Inactive. To illustrate our mean ing plainly, lf you take 1800 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place It In a temperature of 93 degrees, and put with It one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. It will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as If the meat was enclosed within the stomach. The stomach may be ever so weak, yet these tablets will perform the work of di gestion, and the body and the brain will be properly nourished, and at' the same time a radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia will be made because the much-abused stomach will be given, to some extent, a much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that, of all the many remedies ad vertised to cure Dyspepsia, none of them have given so complete and general satis faction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not least in importance in these hard times Is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money. the well gives the most toward the ex pense.
