Davis, of Lents, Shows Wound, but Tells Conflicting Tales. OREGON CITY, Oct. 14. (Special.) An alleged attempted holdup was reported to Sheriff R. B. Beatie and Chief of Police Charles Burns today from Eagle Creek by J. P. Davis, of Lents, who claims to have put to flight a lone bandit on the public road about one mile from Eagle Creek station on the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company's line. Davis has been employed in a sawmill near Eagle Creek, and, with a valtse, says he was walking along the highway between 8 and 9 o clock this morning, on his way to take a ear to Portland, when he was accosted by the highwayman, who cov ered him with a gun and commanded him to throw up his hands and surrender his valuables. Davis says in his excitement he forgot to deposit the valise on the ground and responded to the bandit's orders by throwing up only one hand, whereupon, i he says, the road-agent discharged the firearm, and without remaining to finish the Job, took to his heels and disappeared. The bullet, which came from a 22-caliber rifle, imbedded itself in the fleshy part of Davis' right breast. The injured man continued his way to Eagle Creek, where, after giving a de scription of his assailant, who he said was not masked, he. boarded a car and went to bis home at Lents. Sheriff Beatie went to the scene of the reported holdup and made a thorough investigation, but upon learning that Davis had given sev eral different descriptions of the alleged bandit the officer seriously discredited the holdup story and returned to this city. The only evidence of an attempted rob bery is offeoed in the wound Davis re ceived, but the bullet barely penetrated the flesh, so it is not considered at all serious.

HOOD RIVER, Or.. Oct. 14.-(SpeciaI.)-The proposal o buy the entire exhibit of apples at the Hood River fruit fair has fallen through, owing to- the fact that several growers refused to part with all their apples and only wanted to uispose of a portion of them. Ex hibitors have been busy today selling and packing up their displays and many of the boxes of fine fruit will find their way to Portland In Individual lots. The display) of J. L. Carter, which captured two firsts and the sweepstake plate prize, will be shipped tomorrow morning to F. . Dresser & Co., Portland, where it will be placed on exhibition. The display of Sears & Porter will also go to Portland, having been purchased by O. L. Vanderbilt. This display con tains the prize box of Spitzenbergs, which it was said would be sent to William J. Bryan. Mr. Vanderbilt said today, how ever, that it would not be sent to the Democratic aspirant for Presidential hon ors and that the announcement that it would was made without his permission. Some one who is not known pinned a card on the box saying that it had been bought for Bryan by the Hood River Democratic Club without consulting the owner of the fruit. As a matter of fact the box will be sent to President Roosevelt, a well-known Portland politician having sent orders to send it to the President. It will be exhibited in Portland before it is shipped Bast. Individual boxes of apples were bought today by buyers from many parts of the United States and will be shipped to friends or relatives. The Davidson Fruit Company bought most of the Mosier ex hibit, which was the largest at the fair outside of Hood River. The Mason ex hibit goes to E. P. Loomis & Co., who bought the Union's apples, and the M. M. Hill and Vanderbilt displays will go to Portland. The prize for packing apples has been awarded to J. R. Castner.

JONES TALKS IN SEATTLE Expected to Accept the Gage Thrown Down by Samuel Gompers, Presi dent of the Federation of Labor. SEATTLE, Oct. 14. (Special.) The Republican campaign will be opened in earnest tomorrow. There have been desultory attempts in several of the counties to start the Fall fight, but the state committee has not yet plunged into the work of the cam- I palgn. .tomorrow nigni mi me mem bers of the Congressional campaign will be on the stump, and from that time on they will be kept out until the election. Senator S. H. Riles is to open in Bellingham. He spends a week in the Northwest, incidentally campaigning in the San Juan-Clallam-Jefferson Sen atorial district, where William Bishop Is making an independent fight against John L. Blair, of Friday Harbor, who won the Senatorial nomination away from him. Senator Piles is to plead for party regularity, asking support for Blair. Congressman W. L. Jones will open In Seattle, Congressman Cushman at Spokane, and Congressman Humphrey at Burlington. Interest will naturally center in Jones' opening speech, for he is expected to accept the challenge that Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has is sued. Congressman Jones, at the state convention, defended his position, and he will likely recall the correspondence with Gompers from the stump. The American Federation of Labor has sent to the Worklngmen's League, the political organization of the labor leaders, a statement that Jones voted against the Panama eight-hour bill, Cushman and Humphrey being absent. It is added that Humphrey belonged to the committee that reported against the bill. Labor Union Indorses Fight. Managers of ' the Worklngmen's League have succeeded in securing an indorsement of their fight in King County against the Republican ticket from the Central Labor Union. Several of the delegates to the central body asked to be recorded as opposing this indorsement, but a majority not only carried the motion, but voted $100 of Central Labor Union funds to help the labor leaders' tight. With this action as a precedent, an attempt will be made to enforce a levy upon union men to make a fight for the Democratic ticket. The principal effort will be made on legislative can didates, but there will be an effort to at least carry through C. A. Reynolds, candidate for County Attorney. This fight will not have any serious effect, fon. it is believed by politicians that the Republican nominee is the strong est candidate on the ticket. It is probable the Socialist vote will pull a big following from the Work ingmen's League. The Socialists have been organizing systematically throughout the state, and are consid erably stronger in Seattle than they have ever been. It would not be sur prising if the vote of two years ago was nearly doubled. Socialist Orators Choked Off. Street-corner meetings have been conducted almost nightly by the So cialists up to two weeks ago, when the police put a stop to the practice.. In an effort to secure a Judicial decision giv ing them the right to hold street meet ings, the Socialists, forced the police to arrest their orators and then demand ed immediate trials. This has been refused, and the Superior Court here has declined to issue a writ of man date compelling the Police Court to hear the Socialist cases. As a result, the Socialist orators will be kept oft the streets until after election. This will not interfere seriously with the Socialist crusade, for they have leased vacant lots and halls to carry on a systematic campaign. This is the first time the Socialists have ever been able to make a systematic political fight in King County, and is the best . indication of their growing strength. The Carpenters' Union is the strong est hotbed of Socialism in Seattle, and there may be some significance in the fact that the Democrats nominated two members of that union on their legis lative ticket. Both are declared to be Socialists, though Socialist leaders profess that their men will not accept nominations from other parties. None of the members of other par ties believe there is any question about the election of the Republican state ticket, and it is generally conceded that the Republican county ticket will win In King. The fight here, and as a rule throughout the state, will be on the legislative ticket. -Campaign funds have been hard to collect, because of the feeling that Re publican success is guaranteed already. It is declared that county candidates are being over-assessed to aid ques tionable legislative districts. "Whether this is true or not, the actual help given legislative candidates has not yet been strong enough to guarantee their success. They will have to depend largely upon their own resources. 'The announcement that B. A." Sea borg hns withdrawn as an independent Senatorial candidate from the district comprising Wakhlakum and Pacific probably guarantees the election of John "W. Kleeb, the regular Republican nominee. Seaborg's candidacy was in spired by a demand on the part? of the fishing interests that a man of their class be sent to the Senate. Henry Mc Oowan, the Democratic candidate, is a canneryman, but the two counties are overwhelmingly Republican, and Kleeb should be' elected. Split May Elect a Democrat. ' In San Juan, Jefferson and Clallam there Is a strong probability that the independent candidacy of William Bishop will elect Dr. Mead, of Port An geles, the Democratic nominee. John L. Blair, named by the Republicans, is an old farmer living near Friday Harbor In San Juan County. Dr. Mead is a dentist anV very popular in Clal lam. Bishop will cut deeply into the Republican vote of Jefferson and Blair will have a very hard fight to get through. Senator Piles' mission to the three counties may aid him materially. Senator Piles, by the way, will be pretty careful not to Interfere in the San Juan County fight for Representa tive between 'Gene C. Gould and Will iam Shultz. The former Is the regular Republican nominee, but Shultz' dele gations did not go into the Republican convention, and Piles will avoid choos ing between two Republican candi dates. The Shultz-Gould fight Is an outgrowth of the bitter warfare being made against State Railroad Commis sioner John S. McHillin by political and business enemies. State Republican leaders assert with Woman's Kidney Troubles Lydia E. PinKham's Vegetable Compound is Espe f daily Successful in Curing This Fatal Disease. jz Mrs. J. U L any and Tlr-s. S. Frake (g Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, chronic kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being; fully aware of this, Lydia E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave exhausive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it contained the correct combi nation of herbs which was sure to con trol that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound is the only one espe cially prepared for women, and thou sands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it. Derangements of the fominine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing-down pains, scalding or burning sensations or de posits in the urine, unusual thirst. Swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back, running through the groin, she may infer that her kidneys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the woman's remedy for woman's ills. The following letters show how marvelonsly successful it is. Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect Plains, N. J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia Lydia E. Pinkfiara's Veietable Compound confidence that there will not be much injury done W. A. Presby in the Klickitat-Skamania district by his arrest in North Yakima. Judge Edward Whit son's unqualified indorsement of" Pres by, after hearing the case, is expected to wipe out whatever injury tho first report gave. The only trouble is that tho two counties are sparsely setMed and the.Whltson story will be hard to circulate. But at the same time Presby Is known throughout the district. Hover Docks. Are CrovTdcd. HOVER. Wash., Oct. 14. (Special.) The Hover docks are congested with wheat billed to Portland and the Balfour, Guthrie & Co. platforms are filled to their capacity.
