Kiggins Pasted on Democratic Ticket. VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 8. (Spe cial.) In 15 out of 16 precincts in the city, M. II. Evans was elected Mayor over John P. Kiggins, County Commis sioner and llth-hour candidate, by 185 votes. Evans polled 910 and Kig gins 725. Both men are Republicans. While Kiggins was In Portland today his friends had his name printed on stickers and pasted them on the Demo cratic ticket, placing him in the field against the regular Republican candi date, M. H. Evans. With no opposition, Kvans" friends did not go to the polls during the early part of the day and Kiggins' totals piled up fast. Finally, the friends of Mr. Evans realized what was happening, rallied and elected him. Mr. Kiggins, at the last election, was chosen on the Board of County Com missioners. He has been Mayor of Van couver three times. Republicans elected three of the four members of the Council. A bitter fight between J. O. Winters, Republican, and Miles R. Smith, Democrat, gave the lat ter a seat in the Council by 134 votes, the polls returning Smith 732 and Win ters 598. The Republican members of the Coun cil are Chris Engleman. John P. Wine burg and J. J. Padden. Without oppo sition Robert Brady was elected Clerk, Otto F. Zumsteg Treasurer and George B. Simpson, City Attorney. Of 4000 reg istered voters 1800 votes were cast. MILWAUKEE RESORTS TO GO New Regime Pledged to Close Hotel Belle and Friars' Club. MILWACKIE, Or., Dec. 8. (Special.) "We will close up the Friars' Club and the Hotel Belle and clean up the town," said G. C. Pelton, Mayor-elect, this morning. "We elected only two mem bers of the Council, and as Mayor I will have no vote on the liquor license affairs, but I believe that a majority of the Councilmen will be on the side of public decency and morality and will vote these two resorts out." Charles H. Counsell, elected Councll-man-at-Large, will have the balance of power In the Council. B. G. Skulason and W. H. Grasle, Councilmen from the Second Ward, are Good Government Leagua men, while J. B. Bond and Claude C. Perry, from "the First Ward, were elected on the Republican ticket. Apparently the Republ can ticket has the majority and can control the Coun cil. The other matters of importance are the disposition of the $20,000 realized from the sale of water bonds, collec tion of the $9000 road money, said to be due Milwaukle from Clackamas County, and the gas and street railway fran chises. This $20,000 was to be used to construct a water plant or buy tho present plant. The money has been received and the city is paying 6 per cent interest on It ' - f-r,' ftA., l f " , .

Babcock, Former Editor of Paper Which Supported West Candidate for Governor, Fails to Get Reappointment. SALEM, Or.. Dec 8. (Special.) Governor West today appointed his private secretary. Miss Fern Hobbs, a member of the State Industrial Accl dent Commission, to succeed C. D. Bab cock. whose term will expire January 1. The ferm is for four years and the salary $3600 a year. It has been known for some time that Mr. Babcock would not be reappointed. although his friends say it was gen erally understood at the time of his ap pointment to the short term that he would be named for a full term. Prior to his appointment as Commissioner he served as corporation clerk under the Secretary of State, and before that was the editor of a newspaper which sup ported Mr. West wkea he was a candi date for Governor. Miss Hobbs was made private sec retary to the Governor when Ralph waison was promoted from the prt vate secretaryship to Corporation Com missioner by Mr. West. The last Leg islature increased the salary of the private secretary to the Governor from $1,800 to $3,000, and Miss Hobbs was the first one holding the office to re ceive the increased salary. She be gan work In the Governor's office as a stenographer. . Soon after she was made private secretary Governor West assigned Miss hoods to investigation work in con nection with his moral crusades. Her most spectacular assignment was to Copperfield. when she, with B. K Law son, superintendent of the State Peni tentiary, and several members of the National Guard, closed the saloons there. Miss Hobbs read the Governor's proclamation placing the town under martial law, and Colonel Lawson and ine troops took charge of the saloons. It has been rumored for some time mat tne industrial Accident Commis sion plum would go to the Governor's private secretary. It was the last good place at his disposal to which she was eiigioie. For a time it was suggested that naroia ciinord, brother-in-law of (Jlauae Mccolloch. the Governor's lien tenant on the floor of the senate at the last session of the Legislature, had a cnance or receiving the aDoointment but persons on the inside put no faith in the report. It was even suggested that Mr. McColloch might get the place, but he was found to be ineligible, the law providing that no person may hold a position created by an act passed at a session of the Legislature of which he was a member. The other members of the Industrial Accident Commission are Harvey Beck with, chairman,, and William A.

Old-Time Baker Leadiac Masi Amtied at Complete Transposition of Theaters In Portland. ""Portland's theatrical map has under gone, a complete change in the past 10 years. Frank Fanning, leading man in the early 3ays of the Baker Stock Com pany and later leading man with the Lyric Stock Company, called attention to the situation last night. Mr. Fan ning is the inspector in "A Day at El lis Island," at Pantages with Maurice Samuels this week, and he has been renewing old friendships with George L Baker, Ban Flood and other pioneer showmen. "Do you know. I didn't know Port land when I came in Monday?" said Mr. Fanning. "I played for Mr. Baker in stock at the Bungalow, now demol ished. I played with Hamilton Ar mour, now dead, in 1904 at the old Ba ker at Third and Yamhill streets. That has been torn down. I saw the Mar quam Grand change to the Orpheum and it is now the Baker. The old Lyric, where I played five shows a day with Wanda Howard as my leading woman, has gone and the new Pan tages is in its place. The new Or pheum has come and the present Lyric formerly was Pantages. So you can see what a difference there is between the past and the present. And the Empress then was the old , Cordray Theater, where the new Morgan build ing stands. "When I played the Lyric we used to have to send out for our meals and our apartments were in a ramshackle building called the Countess. The Med ical building is In its place. After 1 closed at the Lyric after three solid years of 52 weeks in every year. Miss Howard and I took the first stock com pany to Alaska and opened at Nome." THREE MEN DINE AND FLEE Waiter's Yell Attracts Policeman, Who Chases and Nabs Trio. Three men walked ' into the Union restaurant, at Second and Alder streets, last night, ate heartily and walked out without paying. Patrolman H. C. Stanton, who was attracted by the cries of the waiter who served the men, gave chase and, after a run of eight blocks, captured the men at Second and Everett streets. "They ran, but I caught them when they got tired running." is the report of the patrolman. The prisoners save their names as Walter Miller. John Berndt and Will- iam item, i nay are held as vagrants. THIN BLOOD AND DYSPEPSIA Thin-blooded people generally have stomach trouble. They seldom recog nize the fact that thin blood is the cause of the indigestion but it is. Thin blood is one of the most common causes of stomach trouble It affects the digestion at once. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids are dimin ished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there Is a loss of nerve force. In this condition nothing will more quickly restore ap petite, digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood. Ir Williams' Pink Pills act dlr " !y on the blood, making it riah and) d. and the enriched blood strong J ha weak nerves, stimulates the tired 7 i cles and awakens to normal activity me glands that supply the digestive fluids. The first sign of returning health is an improved appetite and soon the effect of these tonic pills is evident through out the system. You find that what you eat does not distress you and that you are strong and vigorous Instead of irritable and listless. You are now on the road to health and care in the diet la all that you need. The Dr. Williams Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. Y.. will send you a lit tle diet book free on request.
