City Officials. . r .
SPOKANB. Waah., Dec 8.-(SpecIal.)
Eight men caught .in the act of playing
poker for money while-the house took a
percentage rake-off were gathered in by
Sheriff Douet and his deputies in a raid
on a Howard-otreet cigar store back room
tonight. The raid was most unexpected,
and when the prisoners observed that
count- officials, not city policemen, made
the arrests and when they heard that
warrants had been duly Issued charging
felony under the law, there was a blanch
ing of faces while maledictions poured
upon tho heads of supposed frienda in
the city official force-who failed to tip off
the raid.
Percentage poker playing has been going
on in Bpokano for two months. Sporadic
attempts to shut up tho games were made
by the city officers, but the orders given
poliremen by the Chief were understood to
be mere bluffs, and the games went on.
The city press has called attention to the
law violation several times, giving loca
tions of games, and on one occasion
Mayor Boyd stood by while a game was
bJng conducted- The Mayor went back
to his office and issued orders to the police
to stop the gambling. But no games
were stopped, and it was generally known
that the city authorities did not propose
to do anything.
Only this afternoon the Mayor Issued
another order to close the games, and
Chief "Waller sent word to each Joint to
hut up shop, but when the Sheriffs force
made its unexpected raftl tonight the
game was running "wide open, with no
lookout.
B. M. Heyburn, a well-known lawyer,
brother to Senator Heyburn. of Idaho,
swore to the complaints. Since the law
was passed Spokane has prosecuted but
one man to conviction, and he jumped
bond pending appeal. The evidence se
cured tonight ie said to be strong against
the two men who were conducting the
cigar store where the game was in prog
ress. They are Floyd J. Bell and Clyde
Hammond. The other six were players.

TO SHUT DOWN CANNERIES.
Alaskan Packers' Association May
Have New Set of Officers.
ASTORIA. Or., Dec , (Special.) Lo
cal stockholders in the Alaska Packers'
Association are awaiting with considera
ble Interest the'' outcome of the annual
meeting to be held in San Francisco in
the near future ..There is more or less
dissatisfaction with the present manage
ment of the association and a determined
effort is to be. made to elect an entire
new set of directors and officers. In any
event there promises to be an order made
to curtail the company's business by
closing down at least seven of the can
neries that were operated last season.
The plants to be shut down are two on
the Nushagak River, two others In Bris
tol Bay, one at "Wrangell. one at Copper
River and one at Pyramid Harbor. This
plan has already progressed so- far that
the managers of these plants have been
"laid off," although heretofore . they have
been kept under salary during the entire
year.

Important Influence on Law-Making
Exercises by Solons Whose Names
3egln With the. First Letters
of the Alphabet.
SALEM,. Or., Dec 8. (Special.) Avery,
of Benton. Booth, of Lane, and Bower-,
man, of Wheeler, will lead the roll call
In the Senate at the Legislative session
next month, while Bailey, of Multnomah,
Barnes, of Washington, and Bingham; of
Lane, will be the first three mon to an
swer to their names in the House. Po
sition on the roll call Is of no small Im
portance, for it carries with It power and
responsibility.
In the Legislature as In a flock of
sheep, there Is a very evident tendency
to follow the leaders. If the first few
members answer "aye," .when the roll
is called, the . inclination Is to let the
same response go down .the line, unless
the measure being voted' upon is of un
usual Importance or has provoked de
bate. In the ordinary routine, and In
some cases when measures or some con
sequence arc being voted upon, a large
per cent of the members vote' mechan
ically, without really knowing the effect
of- their votes.
If, on the other hand, the leaders on
the roll call give an emphatic "no" when
their names are called, there will be
close attention, and the other members
are very likely to look with doubt upon
the measure being voted upon.
The men whoso names appear near
the head of the roll call can do much
more to defeat a bill than those further
down the list, for. as a rule, members
do not like to vote "no" unless there is
some probability of their voting on the
prevailing side. This, of course, is not
true- of important measures that, arouse
discussion.
The place near the head of the roll
call has Its disadvantages, especially if
a man prefers "to find out how others
stand on a question before he makes his
own position known. Men whose names
appear near the end of the roll can can.
If they choose, let their votes be deter
mined by the' way the majority have
gone, but those near the -head of the
list can't bo "trimmers." The roll call
at the session of 1905 will be -as follows:

often taken the same route before, but
on Wednesday it was filled with gas
so foul that death stared them in the
face long- before they recognized it,
Chapman ami Barber were mere lads of

found the air too fetid to breathe, and
they retreated u, considerable distance,
.until they met Las Para and Oliver

coal, and then Taylor, Barber and
Chapman started on the trip which
ended in their meeting an awful d$ath.

Main street brought out the department
this morning at 3 O'clock. They qulckly
had the fire under control. The building
for years has been a sleeping-place and
lodging-house for tramps, and .the fire
may have originated from fires built by
them, although there Is some ground for
believing that the fire was Incendiary,
either for the purpose of getting rid of a
building which Is an eyesore to the people
of the city on account of its location and
dilapidated condition, or to see how
promptly the fire department which Is

The building stands so far from any

A prominent club woman, Mrs. Dan-
forth, of St Joseph, Mich., tells how she
was cured of falling of the womb and
its accompanying pains and misery by
Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: life looks dark indeed when a woman
feels that her strength is fading away and she has no hopes of ever
being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was
advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling: of the
womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that my sun had
set ; but Iiydia E. Pmlcham's Vegetable Compound, came to me as
an elixir of life ; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my
good health returned to me. For four months I took the medicine
daily and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for
the help I obtained through its use." Mrs. Florence Danforth,
1007 Miles Ave St. Joseph, Mich.
A medicine that has restored so many women to health and
can produce proof of the fact must he regarded with respect. This
is the record of Iiydia E. Pinkham'S; Vegetable Compound, which,
cannot he equalled by any other medicine the world has ever pro
duced. Here is another case:
"Dear Mrs. PiNKBAMr-Fpr years I was
troubled with falling of the womb, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhcealbearing
down pains, backache, headache, dizzy and
fainting spellsy and stomach trouble.
"I doctored for about five years hut did
not seem to imnrove. I began the use of your
medicine, and nave taken seven bottles of
Xydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
three of Blood Jranher, ana also used tne
Sanative "Wash and liver Pills, and am now

have done for me, and heartily recom

PBEE MEDICAL ADVICE TO "WOMEN:"
Women would save time and much sickness if they would
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice as soon as any distressing symp
toms appear. It is free, and has put thousands of women oa the
right road to recovery.
Mrs. Pinkbam never violates the confidence thus entrusted to
her, and. although she publishes thousands of testimonials from
women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine,
never in all her experience has she published such a letter without
the full consent, and often by special request of the writer.
