George F. Jones, for 18 years a col
lector for The Oregonian. died sud
denly at his home. 325 Mill street, at
9:30 o'clock last night. The sudden
death of Mr. Jonea came as a severe
shock to the members of his family,
as well as to his many friends made
during his residence of 20 years in
Portland. He was not believed to be
dangerously ill, although he resigned
his position one week ago on account
of his health, which had not been good
since he underwent an operation about
a year ago.
Friday he complained of feeling
weak, but ae his condition was other
wise normal, no fears were entertained,
and Saturday he was ufi and around
the house. Last night he was attacked
by a sinking spell and succumbed a
few hours later. His daughter. Miss

MILWAUKIE. Or., Dec. 6. (Special.)
William Shindler, for six years Mayor
of Milwaukie. will have the fight of
his life tomorrow at the polls against
hie old-time friend Philip Strelb. who
was the Mayor's counsellor and who
for years stood by Shindler as a mem
ber of the Council. Strelb has ,long
aspired to he they head of the city gov
ernment, but Mayor Shindler stood in
his wav. and two years ago he helped
the Mayor to re-election against Isaao
JIullan, who was overwhelmingly de
feated. There was some criticism at
that time about the staying qualities
of the Mayor and in order to quiet this
cry. the Mayor issued the following
declaration, which is now being used
against him:

waukle: I hereby ask your support m the

the best of my ability. Yours truly.
WILLIAM SHINDLER.
This campaign thunder that was
used in behalf of the Mayor two years
ago is being used against him now
among the 100 odd voters of Milwaukle.
Streib was nominated by a convention
during Shindler's absence in California,
but after the return of the Mayor the
latter concluded to try v for still an-
outer term.
Isaac Mullan. who ran for Mayor
against Shindler two years ago, and
Fred Lehman, who has been Recorder
for several years, are the convention
nominees for Counciimen, and the in
dependent candidate is O. S. Matthews,
who is now a Councilman. He has
been twice elected to that office, but
received only three votes in the con
vention. Marshal Jesse Keck and
Treasurer E. T, Elmer are candidates
fpr re-election, and Arthur Dowling is
a'n aspirant for Recorder. These three
men have no opposition.
