Twenty-one candidates for Republican nomination to the Legislature In Multno mah have filed notice of their primary petitions with the County Clerk and the Secretary of State. Of these, 11 have sub scribed to Statement No. 1, agreeing to vote, without regard to their own prefer ence, for the "people's choice," whether that choice be a Republican or a Demo crat.

An experiment will be tried by General Passenger Agent A. L. Craig, of the O. JL. &. N.. and the beach season will be ex tended during the coming Summer. Th dates of sale of the reduced tickets for the beaches have been selected by Mr. Craig and his assistants, and will not only bepin earlier than during former seasons, but will be extended until later In the Fall. It Is hoped by this means to attract additional travel to the sea, and if the Summer opens early, as now seems likely, the new arangement will probably be a success. Mr. Craig hopes for an unusually heavy heach business this year, and the longer season will relieve any congestion In travel. The season ticket to the beaches touched by the O. R. & N. -water lines will be offered for sale from May 1 to September 30, with a final return limit of October 15. This Is two weeks earlier than thaee tick ets were formerly sold. The iwual rate or $4 will apply. The family commutation tickets will be old from June 1 to Septem ber 20. and will provide for a certain num ber of round trips to the shore for uie reduced price of J3. The going Saturday and return Monday tickets will be offered by the O. R. & N. ticket agents from June 2 to September 29. The rate for this tick et is $2.50.

TWICE CALL FOR POLICE First Call Is Unheeded, but at Sec ond Patrolmen Arrive and Arrest . John J. AVukadltech, JYlio "Was Bent on 3Iurdcr. Threatening to kill the members of the household of M. NIcholal. living at 703 Kearney street. John J. Wukaditsch. a Hungarian, held the women members of the family prisoners from 9:00 until 11:30 yesterday morning, many times vainly at tempting to break down the door Flaaliy Thlsgs Bejraa to of the home by battering rams. The ter rified inmates held their ground, fearing death every moment from the desperate man's revolver, and hoping for police as sistance. After appealing frantically for officers from headquarters, help came in the persons of Mounted Patrolmen Kcllar and Aldcn. and the armed man was lodged Jn the City Jail. , Because of a demand made by NIcholal. uncle of Wukaditsch, for payment of an $S board bill, the trouble started. Mad with rage on account of this, the Hungar ian hurried from the house, vowing he would return armed for a battle to the death with his uncle and courln. a boy of 15 years, and swearing that he would ex terminate the entire family. His inten tions were unknown to the uncle and cousin, and they went away while he was absent purchasing a weapon and cart ridges, and the women thought he would not attempt to carry his threat Into exe cution. When they saw him coming back they bolted the door and telephoned the police. Wukaditsch. after finding his entrance blocked, grew furious and hammered on the door with his revolver and with clubs, breathing out threats against the whole family. At times he would leave the house and pace frantically up and down the sidewalk in front, thus attracting the attention of the whole neighborhood. By some mistake of officers on duty at police headquarters, no one was sent to the scene, and not until two hours later did the imprisoned women again call up the station for help. In due time Mounted Pa trolmen Aldcn and Kcllar rode to the house at breakneck upeed. When Wuka ditsch saw them approaching he ran. Overtaken by Kcllar, he stopped and sub mitted to arrest. "Where's your revolver?" demanded Kcllar. "What do I want with a rci-olver?" in nocently retorted the desperate man. A Fearch revealed the revolver, fully loaded, hidden Jn Wukaditsch's trousers pocket, and in his coat pockets were found a large number of cartridges. When taken to police headquarters Wukaditsch was still so angry that he confesstd -to the officers he intended to wipe out the NIcholal family, and espe cially the men members of it. He wtis locked up on a charge of threatening to kill, and will appear before Munidnal Judge Cameron this morning. Lf OR LICENSES GOME OP MANX TRANSFERS ALLOWED BY COCSIITTEE. D. FTCsta and John Conrad Have : Their Permits Cancelled for Gross Misbehavior. On account of recent exposures of a disgusting character In the Police Court. D. Fresla, proprietor of the Newmarket saloon, at Third and Market streets, had his license revoked yesterday by the liquor license. committee or the Council. Assistant City Attorney J. J.

John Conrad, proprietor of the Pullman cafe, on Fifth street, between Washlnir ton and Alder, was cited to appear before the committee at Its next mectlnr and show cause why his license should not also be cancelled. Acting Chief of Police Grltzmacher entered a complaint against uonrau, accusing him of all kinds of vio lations of the municipal laws relative to keeping open after hours, and maintaining a disorderly house generally. Harry Bowen was denied a license for tne notorious El Hey saloon, and the place will now be shut up. In the matter of the Palm saloon It was shown that Brown & Hill, the old proprietors, had sold out to 2elbose & Lconardl. hence the committee decided to suspend further inquiry, it being reported that the new owners were disposed to conduct the place along proper lines. Chief Grilzmacher asked that its license should be taken -away, also, but his request came In before the change of ownership. The following transfers were allowed: F.

The East Side Improvement Association is sending hundreds of circular letters to the trade centers of the United States, setting forth the Inducements which Port land offers for establishment of new en terprises, and calling especial attention to the East Side as a field for a largo department store. The circular gives fig- NOW WOULDN'T THAT ASPHYXIATE YOU? Look Up, aad When the Benevolent the Price of Gas He Until urcs and railway statistics to show that Portland is rapidly expanding and be coming a great railway center. These letters go to the centers of trade in the Eastern cities, and arc expected to ad vertise the city along these lines, and in cidentally cause a department store to bo located at some central point on the East Side. The circular says, in part: "Portland had been established fully 20 years, and had become a recognized city before any substantial start was made toward building up the East Side. Today it Is estimated that of Portland's popula tion, SQ.O live on the East Side, and that probably three homes arc made on that side to one on the West Side. It Is true that the heavy retail and wholesale busi ness of the city Is now done on the West Side, but it must be evident to the thoughtful that a fine opportunity is of fered for the founding, by a self-reliant and enterprising firm, of a great retail trading establishment on the East Side. All cities of. any magnitude have their subecnters where local trade concentrates. Beyond these arc Immediate zones, and farther still the outlying- districts. Con venience, 'currents of trade, cheapness of rent, eta, are potent factors in determin ing their location. Very naturally, these become strategic points, like the mouth of a funnel, where trade from a wide ex- panso of territory can be "accommodated." The circular goes Into further details. showing that the field is Inviting and op portune. The committee on stop-over tickets from the street-car companies has submitted a proposition to F. I. Fuller, president of the Portland Railway Company. This committee proposed that the company ar range a system by which the conductor may issue a stop-over ticket to any pas senger who may desiro to trade at East Side houses, and then the business men arc to furnish the passenger another tick et that will permit him or her to proceed on the trip to the West Side by paying the company 2V? cents. Heretofore, the company wquld not consider this proposi tion, "but the committee was able to pre sent thc-mattcr In such a light as to at tract the attention of President Fuller, for the reason that, it means ZVz cents more fare for passcngcTgwho Btop over. v-. MANY COLONISTSARRIVE It Ts "Creed That Committee Be Formed to Give Information. The season for 1S0S. it Is believed, will establish a new' record in bringing settlers to the state. Four extra cars came In yes. tcrday morning on Union Pacific train No. 3. and six additional coaches were at tached to No. 5 over the same road. More than 2t prospective settlers rcachcU Port land Sunday and were the advance guard of this sort of travel. The Northern Pa cific is bringing a great many colonists to the state also, and Burlington trains are coming West crowded. Advices to the local office yesterday said the trains num ber from ten to thirteen cars, and the ad dillonal train lately pot on is full. The equipment In service last year is also filled up to tho limit. In view of this large travel westward. it is the belief of many that some ar rangements should be made to meet the travelers as they arrive and give what in formation and help Is necessary to famil iarizc strangers with tho conditions In this state and aid them in the selection of homes. This is a work that would natur ally suggest Itself to the commercial bod les, but nothing has been done. The free Information bureau is no longer main tained In the Union Station, and the East emcr finds himself In a strange land with out any disinterested, trustworthy advice as to the selection of a home. Los Angeles. San Jose and other Coast points have committees from' the local chambers of commerce to direct settlers to suitable localities for homes at prices suited to tho purse of the individual set tier. Struck by a Street-Car. An elderly man was struck by an East Ankcny street-car at the corner of East Ankcny and Ninth streets about 10 o clock last evening, and was picked up ana earned into the residence of Dr. Am brose L. Johnson, who found that he was severely injured. Dr. Johnson stated that the man's name was Tachmcler and that he was taken to his home at East Ninth and Washington streets, where h is being cared for by his family. The ex tent of tne man Injuries was not learned last evening, as It is thought that In ad ditlon to the severe bruises on the head and face he may be internally injured. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.

T. Knox, T. H. Starbuck, If. H. Hall, Professor M. E. Cady. H. W. Cottrell and A. J. Breed, committee, submitted the following resolutions cov ering the basis and conditions for the di vision: Whereas. A number of delegates express a deilre to have the- Pacific Union Confer ence divided Into two union conferences, w therefore recommend that this conference consider the advisability of dividing Its ter ritory, making: the southern boundary of Oregon ana taano the line ot separation and. If such division Is agreed upon by ac tlon of this conference, we further recom mend: First, that the southern division retain the name Pacific Union Conference, and the northern section assume the name .ortn Pacific Union Conference. Second, that funds now belonsime to Pa clflc Union Conference be divided. In nropor tlon to the number of Sabbath-keepers In each section. Third, that Pacific Union Conference take charxe of and provide for mission fields ot Utah and Arizona, and that tne rortn pa cific Union Conference take charge o and provide tor mission fields of British Co lumbia. Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. The entire forenoon was consumed with consideration of the resolution. W. T. Knox and Elder Schultz spoke aeainst division of the conference. A. J.

J When the stomach is feeble the food lies in it undigested, decays aud throws off poisonous gases that distend the walls of the stomach, and causes inter ference with other organs, especially with the action of the heart and lungs. These gases have other ill effects. They are absorbed by the blood aud corrupt it and so cause aches in remote parts of the body and thoformationof unhealthy tissue everywhere. General bodily weakness and loss of weight result. The nerves aud the brain are disturbed and discomforts suoh as dizziness, hot flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and despondency originate from this source. Experience shows that these troubles vanish just as soon as the stomach is made strong enough to digest the food. In other words, it needs a tonic that will rouse it to do the work of changing the food into nourishment. The tonic used ought to be one that will agree with the most delicate stomach. Miss Minerva C. Ladd, of Ipswich, Mass., says: "I had a weak stomach from the time I was a little child. "Whenever I took hearty food it would cause terrible faintuess, and I would finally vomit what I had eaten. At times there would be the most intense pains through the upper part of my body. For days in succession, I would have to lie down most of the time.
