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.

FIREMAN, GETS WARRANT
JCJDGE - BRO.VAUGH JUKES ' OR
DER AGAINST LOAN COMPANY.
City Wins Fight Brought to XJeter-
mine Whether. 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 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.
