An enormous assortment of fixtures, ranch of which is snit
able for stores, offices, dwelling-houses, such as mirrors,
cabinets for clothing, carpets, tables, folding table, garment
racks, machine-power motors, a brand-new cash system, never
been used, five stations; this cash system got in late, and
guess the Acheson Company was too busy watching our due
bills to get it set up; an elegant big safe, octagon garment
cases. Every country store should have one; they will hold
in clean, good shape, in a four-foot square space, all tho
garments a small store wants to carry. All must be sold.
The foregoing is a plain statement according to the law governing such sales. Bankrupt sales do not admit any gush
or frills. The goods have to be closed out bring what they will and every one knows what this big grand store carried.

PARTY III OREGON
Hugh H. Mclsaac Here in In
terests of Independence
League.
SAYS PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Declares League Stands for Princi
ples jSot Advocated by Either ot
Old Parties Make Active Cam
palgn in This State.
Hugh H. Mclsaac, chairman of tho
executive committee of the Independ
ence League of California, and Paclfio
Coast organizer for the Independence
party, is in Portland for the purpose
of completing the organization of this
new political party in Oregon.
Edward P.ainey and J. L. Elgholz,
organizers of the Independence party,
visited Portland about six weeks ago
and took the preliminary steps towards
establishing this organization in this
state. Before leaving for the State of
Washington on a similar errand next
week, Jlr. Mclsaac expects to complete
arrangements for a general mass meet
ing to be held at Portland some time
this month for the purpose of select
ing eight delegates to attend the Na
tional convention of the Independence
party in Chicago July 27. This party
also will have a Presidential ticket
In the field in Oregon at the Novem
ber election. It is the plan to select
Presidential electors either by petition
or nominate them at a mass meeting
to which all persons Interested in the
principles of the Independence party
will be asked to participate.
Sentiment Strong in Country.
"I find throughout the country a sen
timent strongly favoring our organiza
tion." said Mr. Mclsaac last night.
"There seems to be considerable dis
satisfaction among the people gener
ally with the two old parties and they
have about decided to look to another
source for remedial legislation. For
several months the officers of the In
dependence League in California have
been receiving letters from residents of
this state, urging us to organize such
a party in this state. In fact the In
dependence forces already have per
fected organizations in 35 states, the
majority of which have selected their
delegates to the Chicago convention.
The members of this party held a state
convention in California on May 16
and selected their delegates. It will
be arranged so that all of the dele
gates from the Pacific Coast states. In
cluding Oregon, California, Washing
ton. Utah, Nevada and Idaho, will as
semble at Ogden and proceed to Chi
cago in a party. ,
Active Campaign in Oregon.
"The Independence party will make
an active campaign in Oregon this
Fall. Considerable preliminary organ
' t7.atlon has bei dona already and our
E OPEN 9:30 A.
coming into this state at this time is
merely a part of the plan of the Na
tional campaign of the Independence
party.
"The Independence party will meet
In National convention In Chicago In
July for the purpose of nominating
candidates for President and Vice
President. Who the nominees will be
cannot be foreshadowed. There Is a
strong sentiment in the party for J .a
Follette. He may be the nominee, or
it may be Thomas L. Higsen, who for
20 years has persistently fought the
Standard Oil and other trusts in Massa
chusetts, and who made a remarkable
run on the Independence party ticket
for Governor of that stte. Whoever
the nominee may be, he will be a man
who stands sincerely for the principles
the party advocates.
Makes Creditable Showing.
"The Independence forces have taken
part in three state campaigns, and In
each one Its showing has been a reve
lation to the politicians of the old par
ties. In two elections we beat the
Democrats decisively, and In the third,
the California campaign, which lasted
three weeks, we polled nearly 50.000
votes. In the West our organization
already has developed considerable
strength in California and Nevada. In
the latter state at the election in No
vember we expect to e'.ect enough
members to give us control o the State
Legislature. We are also counting on
electing a Congressman from that
state. In California we havo every
reason to believe that we will be suc
cessful to the extent that we will elect
several members of the State Legis
lature and perhaps two or three of the
Congressmen from that state.
"We have received much encourage
ment from all parts of Oregon and ex
pect to be abU to organize our party
here with, a creditable membership to
begin with. Our principles arc:
"Direct nomination to end boss rule
and clique-controlled conventions; se
vere and effective legislation against
all forms of corrupt practices at elec
tions; the election of United .States
Senators and Judges by the people; we
declare for an Income tax. Ourcandi
dates are pledged to the Initiative, ref
erendum and the recall. These meas
ures apparently are popular with the
people of Oregon. They will be perpet
uated by the Independence party."
MAN OF TELECONI
Is Visiting Portland.
James Austin Larson, originator of Tel
econi, is In Portland for a few days, rest
ing after one of the greatest campaigns
of healing in the West. Mr. Larson's
work is interesting because he is Intro
ducing a comparatively new system of
treatment and that it is successful is evi
denced by the wonderful cures he is
making.
He claims that vibration is the secret
of life and he has mastered its applica
tion to the treatment of human Ills.
Stories of cures brought about through
Teleconi have been published through
out the Northwest, extending as far north
as British Columbia.
One of the most remarkable cures ever
attributed to Teleconi was that of
Joseph Boehrh, of Seattle. Mr. Boehm.
up to two months ago, was a helpless
cripple, brought about through his work
for the Government in Honolulu. He was
unable to walk then without the aid of
strong assistants and crutches. Now he
walks without any assistance whatever.
According to the story of himself and his
friends, a single treatment by James
Austin Larson accomplished this wonder
ful result and the formerly helpless crip
ple can do the work of a Btrong man.
Mr. Larson is registered at the Oregon
Hotel and is enjoying the Rose Festival
while recuperating from the arduous cam
paign, be has Just completed.

GETS AFTER THE DRUGGISTS
Government Begins Seizing Cigars
Hot Properly Stamped.
"WASHINGTON, June 5 The Internal
Revenue Department has planned a series
of prosecutions for alleged infractions of
the Internal revenue laws all over the
United States. Officers of that depart
ment made seizures yesterday at two lo
cal drugstores on the ground that they
were selling cigars in contravention of
the internal revenue laws. The tops of
boxes to which the majority of the
stamps were affixed have been removed,
thereby leaving the packages unprotected
by proper stamps.
The Government contends this is prima
facie evidence of the non-payment of the
taxes, and cigars not protected by stamps
must be declared forfeited to the United
States.
First Meeting In July.
WASHINGTON, June 5. The Senate
committee on finance, which was author
ized to make an investigation of the tariff
during the recess of Congress to be in
readiness to take up a review of the
tariff next Winter, will hold its first
meeting for this purpose about the middle
of July. It has not yet been decided
when "hearings will be held. Sometime
in November probably will be fixed for
that purpose.
GUN PUT WINES ON MAN
ENGLISH AERONAUT SAYS MAX
MAY YET FLY ALONE.
Alexander Predicts Possibility of RU
' valing Birds Finds Serious
Defects in Airships.
NEW YORK, June 6. Patrick T. Alex
ander, the wealthy Englishman, who in
clines strongly to aeronautics, was a pas
senger on the Mauretanla, having arrived
In this city last Saturday morning on
the Campania for "just a few days or
rest." Before leaving the city, Mr. Alex
ander said:
A man In rowing a boat pulls 70 or SO
pound?; in fact, with the same kind of an
arrangement as a rowing machine In a gym
nasium, on man Is able to pull or lift
600 pounds. Might It not be poseible, with
suitable surfaces of wings, for a man to pro
pel himself through the air by his own power?
Wo are now lifting in a 15-mile wind nearly
three pounds to the square foot.
Speaking of flying machines generally,
Mr. Alexander said:
They are being built too light to be prac
ticable. The lighter the machine the more
easily it is ca.Qt about by the wind puffs. The
trouble abroad is the procuring of motors
which will run without overheating. Gasoline
motors are being built so light that they
cannot be kept cool. The machines are not
perfected to such a degree that a motor of
more weight can be carried. There Is no rea
son why machines should be built so light
there must be a better form than that gen
erally followed.
Even with the present forma It mleit be
possible to generate artificial currents of air
against the planee. These artificial currents
of air would assist in lifting the machine,
would reduce the power necessary to drive
them, and would ward off outside eddies and
currents which tend to deflect tho course of
a machine. The plan would not be dirQfclt
to try out.

Not Necessary to Buy His Sup
port in 1904, Says Bryan.
DENIES WORLD'S CHARGES
Xebraskan Says He Had hut Remote
Personal Interest In State Cam
palgn That YearChal
lenges His Accusers.
LINCOLN, Neb., Juno 5. In a Gtatnment
given last night to the Associated Press,
William J. Bryan replies to an article
that appeared a. -week ago In the New
York World, charging that Mr. Bryan was
the beneficiary of a campaign contribu
tion made by Thomas F. Ryan. Mr. Bry
an declares if Mr. Ryan made the con
tribution, it was without his knowledge
or consent, and he repeats his former
statement that when It Is proven to him
that Mr. Ryan did make the contribution,
he will see that the money ,1s returned to
the donor. Mr. Bryan says:
"I have Just read the World's story
charging, first, that my brother-in-law,
Mr. Allen, chairman of the Democratic
committee, had a conference with Mr
Sheehan in 1901 in regard to the cam
paign funds.
"Second, that Mr. Sheehan as Mr.
Ryan's attorney secured from Mr. Ryan
$20,000 for the Nebraska campaign.
"Third, that Mr. Ryan made the con
tribution to secure my open and unquali
fied support of Judge Parker.
"Fourth, that to disguise the source of
the contribution, Mr. Ryan gave the check
to Mr. Sheehan and that Mr. Sheehan
gave his checks to Mr. Alien.
Bryan Adds His Statement.
"Chairman Allen and Mr. Dahlman, the
Nebraska member of the National Demo
cratic Committee, have already denied the
World's charges and stated that the only
money received came from the National
committee, but I desire to add the fol
lowing statement:
"Mr. Allen says he never saw either Mr.
Sheehan or Mr. Ryan, and I have no rea
son to doubt his word. If Mr. Ryan con
tributed to the Nebraska campaign, it was
not with my knowledge or consent. While
I had but a remote personal interest in
the Nebraska campaign that year, I am
Interested in Nebraska politics, and am so
interested in National politics that I am
not willing to be in the slightest degree
obligated to any favor-seeking corpora
tion. If, therefore, the World will secure
either from Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan a
statement, or prove In any other way that
Mr. Ryan gave to Mr. Sheehan or to any
one else or to the National committee, any
sum whatever with the understanding
that the sum would be used In the Ne
braska campaign, I shall see that the
amount is returned to Mr. Ryan.
Gave Parker His Support.
"As to the charge that my support of
Judge Parker was purchased, I need only
say that I announced my support of Judge,
Parker immediately after the St. Louis
convention, and that support was open
and unqualified from the convention un
til the polls closed. I had opposed his
nomination .bat be had no more loyal sun-

MONEY WAS SPEXT FOR BERG
Thomas H. Tibbies Comes to Defense
of Bryan.
OMAHA, June 6. Some additional light
is thrown on the disposition of the now
famous $15,000 "slush fund" raised in
New York in 1904 and spent in the Ne
braska campaign, by a statement given
out today by Thomas II. Tibbies, the
Populist nominee for Vice-President, in
1904.
At that time Mr. Tibbies was editor of
the Independent at Lincoln, and Bryan's
Commoner was printed by the Indepen
dent plant.
Bryan's editorial desk was In the In
dependent office. Mr. Tibbies says:
"I know right where $5000 of that fund
went. It went Into a special edition of
96,000 copies of the Independent which
was got out for the purpose of eulogizing
Governor Berg for Governor. The entire
paper was given up to his candidacy In
that edition. The Independent was Pop
ulist and Berg was the fusion candidate
for Governor. This amount was handed
us by Tom Allen. James C. Dahlman
Rnd Colonel G. Maher, and tbey secured
the funds from the Democratic National
Committee on a trip which they made to
New York. Tho day after Bryan returned
from the St. Louis convention he dropped
Into the Independent office, sat down at
his desk and began writing an editorial.
The first words were, 'I shall support
Parker." We put that editorial in type
and ran It In the Commoner the following
week. All that was done long before
there was any talk of needing money In
the Nebraska election, and should dls-
