15 KENTUCKY KLICK TO MIX IN CONTEST Body May Frame Full Ticket; It's Sure of Indorsing Some. HARRY LANE'S KITE IS LOW r. A. Ttinchart, Organization's Choice for Governor, Probably. Assembly Censured High Tar- iff Jumps Banquet Price. Aiwayn concerned- in the public welfare, especially in city and stato affairs, the Kentucky Klick is planning to participate actively in the general election next year. This organization is considering- the ad visability of putting a full ticket in the field, but it is more than likely it will concentrate its efforts towards appro priating only the most Important offices. The Klick is supposed to be a nonpolitlcal organization. Its membership consists of white males whose parents resided south of the Mason .and Dixon line. At a meeting of the Klick last night the names, of several candidates for Governor and it will be noticed they are all Demo cratswere referred to the "inner circle" for further consideration and report. Among the namrs submitted was that of T. A. Rineha-rt, Assessor of Union County, and members of the organization who at tended the meeting seemed disposed to pin their faith to the Eastern Oregon man. The Klick regards Rinehart as one of the strongest men who ceuld'be named to oppose the Republican - nominee, for the reason, that, as Assessor; of Union County, he went after the railroads and other corporations. It is such e. man, say the Klick, who la wanted by the people for Governor. - Lane Not Favored. Among other possibilities-suggested at the conference was" Jefferson Myers, of Portland: Lark Bilyeu. of Eugene; Oswald West. Railroad Commissioner, of Salem, and M. A. Miller, State Sena tor, of Lebanon. Members of the Klick do not enthuse over the report that Harry Lane , and Circuit Judge Gatens, ex-private secretary to Governor Chamberlalni will also be in the race for the nomination of Governor. Members do not take kindly to Lane, and. what is more, they are not going to work overtime in helping the doc tor to win the Gubernatorial nomina tion, or any other public station. The Klick is also satisfied to have Judge Gatens continue to constitute the fifth wheel of the Judicial wagon at the Courthouse. While the Klick censured the plan of the Republicans for an assembly, it, in sisted that its members had the invio lable right to hold as many conferences as it might elect, and to take such ac tion at these meetings towards nomi nating or recommending candidates as might be deemed politic. , Any such ac tion by the Republicans, urged the Klick, would be a serious perversion of the primary law and an unwarranted usurpation of the rights of the people. Dinner Tickets, Adva-nce- t . It was also the sense of the Klick, expressed at last night's meeting, that because of Republican tariff revision upward instead of downward the price of all edibles has advanced to such an. extent that plates at the annual ban quet to be given next year will be $1.60 Instead of $1, as has formerly been the custom of the Democratic party. The date for, the 1910 banquet has not been arranged, but it will be held at Wat son's restaurant either on Jackson day, January 8, or on Jefferson's birthday, April 13. At this banquet the Klick expects' to make recommendations as to candidates and also formulate" a definite programme for the campaign. The Klick boasts of Its prowess as an agency for making or unmaking men In public life at its pleasure. Its mem bers point to the fact that theirs was the first organization to bring out Chamberlain as a candidate for United State's Senator. Credit is also appro priated for having effected the elec tion of John Manning as District At torney when he was elected to that of fice. The Klick also contends -that it had a great deal to do with the defeat of Tom Word for Sheriff when Stevens was elected. .Rut the Klick intimates that its greatest political coup was pulled off til t-ho last municipal primar ies, when their candidate. Judge M. G. Munly, received the Democratic nomi nation over Harry Lane. Following this victory, the Klick willingly would have passed into oblivion, but the pa triots imagine ' they see still another opportunity to win plaudits and render the public Invaluable service in the selection of officials who will at ail times serve the people faithfully.

Employe's Salary Should Go to Another. Presiding Circuit Judge Bronaugh, in an order yesterday morning, made E. J. Charboneau, a member of the Portland fire department, the owner of a salary warrant for $99.50 due him from the- city. The Star Loan Company had laid claim to this, presenting at the City Hall a sal ary assignment given by Charboneau two years before. As soon as he discovered that the loan company was making an attempt to collect his salary, Charboneau filed revocation of- the assignment and the power of attorney he had given tie company. The city then brought suit in the Circuit Court to test , the validity of the loan company's claim. Day after day went by and the loan company failed to answer the complaint until yesterday, when the time for doing so expired, and Jay H. Upton, represent ing Charboneau. secured an order declar ing the case defaulted so far as the loan company is concerned, making" Char boneau the owner of the warrant and taxing the costs of. the suit, amounting to $20, to the loan company. This takes the case out of court, although the right of brokers to discount warrants has not been tested. ' ' The story behind this suit, as told last night by Mr. Upton, is as follows: '. . The' fireman borrowed $30 from the loan company in October, 1907, signing a note for $48. payable in six monthly payments. He paid $32 in five months, then allowed the payments to lapse: Attachment of his wages was threatened, whereupon he signed a second note. In blank, which he supposed was a renewal for the fist one. It was later filled in for $39, according to Mr. Upton. Further threats of attach ment led him to sign a. third note in blank, which was later filled In, it is said, for $49. A claim for $63 was afterward made by the company, failure on Charboneau's part to pay resulting In the attempt to secure his salary.

The switchmen's strike in the East, the decision of the County Commission ers, acting upon the advice of the ar chitects, to purchase a brand of steel which could be secured at only one place in the United States, and inability of Eastern steel mills to keep abreast of their orders, are given as reasons why. the framework of the new Court house wing is not now In place. O. E. HeJntz, of the Pacific Iron Works, which has the contract for this work, addressed a letter to the Com missioners yesterday, in which he asks for an extension of time. No action has yet been taken by the Commission ers. The steel was to have been in position November 29. The contract calls for a penalty of $50 a day for all time after that until the steel is In place. Mr. Heintz' letter reads: . Delays In East. a The. Bethlehem Steel Company, located at South Bethlehem. Pa., is the only mill ,in the United States that rolls the Bethle fliem steel column and steel beam, and as these sections are very popular with struc tural engineers. It has resulted in the mill being overloaded with orders. The frame for the Olds, Wortman & King building is constructed entirely of Beth lehem sections, and they were about six months in getting their material on the ground. The Meier' & Frank building is partially constructed of Bethlehem beams: Material from the mill for our contract began to arrive here about Noyember X. and has been arriving - steadily ever since, but the mill's method has been to roll and consequently to ship all of one kind of beam for the entire building at once, with the re sult that at the present time we have-ma-' terial on hand for every floor of the build ing but we are still short a considerable portion Of the first and second-story steel. We have letters from the Bethlehem peo-. pie dated November 9. In which they promise to ship all the remainder of .the first and second-story steel between November 14 and 28. We have received advice of one car be ing shipped since November 15, which con tains six beams for the second floor, the balance in .the car being for other floors. Orders Held Tp By Strike. This cnrload, and a carload shipped No vember 10 are routed via the Great North ern and are held up by the strike, other wise they should be here now. By the time we receive the balance of first and second floor material, we shall practically have re ceived all the material for the building. We do not consider that we have been derelict about this contract. Our mill order was forwarded August 28 and we - have a book full of correspondence, in regard to order and expediting same. When we received the contract it was our intention to have all the stell fabricated back East by the Bethlehem company, so that when our material arrived here It would be delivered directly to the building and save time. But the mill company re fused absolutely to have anything. to do with' the fabrication on account of stress of work. This necessitated increasing our plant im mediately, the additional machinery arriving from November 1 to 15. Although this has delayed the i fabrication somewhat, it will enable us to do all the work at home, thereby employing a great many men. To show the condition of the structural mills back Cast we will state that the Car negie Steel Company, who have an office here, will not promise any. steel for ship ment inside of three to four months' time, as we have had an occasion to ascertain. The Jones & l.aughlin Company Is in worse shape. If we get all of our material shipped with in two weeks, which seems likely,, it will make mill time about three months from their receipt of our. order, which baa not had time under existing conditions.

The attraction at the Bungalow Theater, The Dyspepsia Of Old Age Strong Digestion and an Adequate Nutrition Invariably Mean a Long and Healthy life. There is a process known as meta bolism going on constantly in the body, and by which the tissues are built up, and rafter having served their purpose in the physical economy, are torn down and cast off. , So long as the due relation between Waste and supply is maintained, nutri tion, and the various functions of the body are continued. But after middle life and in old age there comes a time when waste exceeds supply, and when the various elements which constitute the different fluids,- tissues and organs no longer- hold their due proportion, and the principle of life itself becomes enfeebled, the body no . longer having power to assimilate new material as frt once did. As old age creeps on, all the functions gradually fail, especially those of di gestion, absorption and assimilation, and the system being deprived of its full quota of nutriment, . slowly wears out.' .If the nutritive and digestive processes of old people could be tnain tained - unimpaired, life- could be pro longed almost indefinitely. There, are many old persons in whose stomachs the gastric function is almost entirely suspended. When this trouble occurs, the problem is, how to digest the food and get along without the natural stomach juices. There is -but one way. to overcome the effects of this condition, and that is ' to supply arti ficially to the stomach a powerful di gestive substance to take the place of the Juices which it fails to secrete naturally. t For this purpose, there is nothing superior to STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS known to medical science, as they supply the deficiency, and are -such a reliable and thoroughly efficient sub stitute for the natural gastric Juices, that if two or ' three are taken after each meal, the food will be digested in so complete a manner, that the natural digestive fluids-will .never be -missed. , Stuart's 'Dyspepsia Tablets should be used by all old and middle-aged per sons, in order to prevent or cure the dyspepsia of old age. Through their use complete digestion , of the food Is assured, with a' consequent increased nutrition of the body, and a staving off of the sensibility and decreptitude of old age. . . -. . This remedy is, however, not only good for the indigestion incidental to advanced life, but is also applicable-to the dyspepsia and stomach troubles of any. age, from youth up. Secure a package of this famous dys pepsia remedy from your druggist for 50c and if you find that as you get older, your digestion and assimilation becomes weaker, this remedy will assist the stomach In the performance of its functions, so that the general system will not suffer from the delin quency of the digestive organs. A sample package will be sent you If you will forward your name and ad dress to the F. A. Stuart Company, 150 Stuart Building, Marshall, Michigan. Twelfth and Morrison streets. for four nights, beginning next Sunday, December 12. with a special matinee Wednesday, will be the famous dramatic success, "The Man of the Hour."

Matinee every day. European Sensation. Another European sensation, the team of Delmore and Lee, who do some daring feats while on a revolving ladder, will be at the Grand next week.
