t (Warrant Iaaaed at Last for the
Braner Firemen's Jadfrment
Golf Content, Etc,
p Awarrant was yesterday Jssued for the
"Brauer judgment against the city, -which
represents the claims of several firemen
whose pay was reduced below the statu
tory limit while they were members of the
department. The only question delaying
pa aaent of the Judgment for several days
past has been available funds. The Wells
Fargo Bank negotiated for the Judgment
a d paid Into the office of the City Treas
urer a check of 512,102 -SO, but the claim
ants' attorney contended for a larger
amount by J8S. This brought matters to a
close for a time, after which the United
States National Bank took the Judgment,
with the result that a warrant was se
cured yesterday. The original amount of
money the firemen claim to have loat
through the reduction In their salaries was
$955G BO, but Interest at 8 per cent per
annum since 1897 and other incidentals has
brought the total up to the above-named
figure. The large Interest drawn by the
Judgment gave It great value In the esti
mation of local banking firms, and It has
been eagerly sought.
Army and Jfavy Union.
The first garrison In Oregon of the Regu
lar and "Volunteer Army and Navy Union
will be formed "Wednesday evening at the
G. A. R. hall. First and Taylor streets.
The organization is not a new one, having
been prominent In Eastern States for a
number of years. At the present time the
closest garrison to Portland is the Ser
geant Gabriel Labelle, No. 134, at Vancou
vor, "Wash., tvhere the organization Is
strong, particularly among the regulars.
Those eligible to join Che Union are all
men who can show their honorable dis
charge from either the Army or Navy of
the United States As might possibly be
supposed, the Union la not in opposition
to the G. A. R., the several organizations
of Spanish War Veterans or to any other
body, but instead its most prominent mem
bers belong to one or the other of these
societies. The benefits of the organization
are mutual advancement, and to furnish
aid to their sick brethren.
The first meeting of the Portland Garri
son was held last Monday in he G. A. R.
hall. There ias a good attendance of ex
regulars, ex-volunteers, and also a few
ex-marines. The only thing done at the
meeting was the talking over of the pros
pects of the Union here, and the appoint
ment of a committee, consisting of C. A.
ilarcy, Frank Van Meter and Captain
Hawk, to form plans for a permanent
organization. This committee will report
at the meeting "Wednesday evening, at
whloh are expected a delegation from the
Vancouver Garrison, who will help the
local people in organizing.

every variety, will be disposed of by the
many young and charming -women in

done under the skillful and adept hand
of George Baker, are finished, and the
effect of the harmonious blending of
shades and colors, and the artistic draping
Is very novel and complete. The side
shows, with their freaks, -wonders and
curiosities, are all ready for business, and
the "spielers" are well versed In the roles.
The smoking-room adjoining the cigar
booth is a very convenient departure, that
will be well patronized. And the lemonade,
candy, fruit. Ice-cream, fur, Chinese,
fancy-work and all the other booths are
all prepared to dispense of their respec
tive wares to the highest bidder. The
fair -will run four nights, until Thursday,
when a grand masquerade ball will be the
final attraction. The whole affair prom
ises to be a most brilliant success, and
as It Is given for a good cause, the Im
provement of Sixth street where the Con
gregation is located, It Is deserving of good
patronage.

Recital by Mitts Lose.
The dramatic recital, given by Miss
Adelia R. Luse, at Calvary Presbyterian
Church, Friday evening, -was a decided
bucctsa. Miss Luse -was in good voice,
and her selections were rendered with
vigor and animation. A feature of the
entertainment was a story told in the 17th
century style of delivery, -which was en
joyable as a rarity, and which .showed
by contrast the advantages of natural de
livery. One of the most enjoyable num
bers" of the evening was "Cathedral
Ch'mcs.-" recited with organ accompani
ment. As a closing number. Miss Luse re
cited "The Debating Society," and the
representation of the,, different characters
gave ample opportunity for showing; the
variations of which one face arid voice are
capable: it was a good selection and well
rendered. The three -vocal numbers by Mr
Clauoscnius, Mr. Wright and Miss Cas
were well received, and added much to
the pleasure of the evening.
Doe. -ot Apply to Multnomah.
Judge Sears yesterday stated that the
outside Circuit Court Judges who have
licld that the District Attorney fee is no
longer required to be collected from di
vorce litigants, are puzzled at the recent
decision of the four Judges in Multnomah
County that It still must be exacted, and
paid to the County Treasurer. Judge Sears
aid the decision rendered here lp based
on the law passed at the special session
of the Legislature In 1SDS, which, refers only
to Multnomah County, and which provides
certain fees, percentages and commissions
established by law (the office of District
Attorney being Included), shall remain the
established fees ior the use and "benefit of
the county. The general act passed In 1S93
does away with the district Attorney fee.
but a specific provision (law of 1S9S) cannot
be set aside by a general provision. Judge
Sears concedes that the 'fee has been done
away with in the otjher counties by the
general law of 1S99, but not in Multnomah
County.

lection department yesterday collected

ON ORES OF OREGON.
"Paul Baurael Addresses 3Iineoivners
Club.
The first of a series of Informal talks on
mines and mining of tho Northwest, given
last evening, at the Mlneowners' Club, in
the Imperial Hotel, -was snore instructive
'than waa 'anticipated. Pursuant" ttf the
purposes of tho club, miners representing
several districts of tho Northwest were
present, and each was called on for re
marks bearing on his particular work and
the character of the mines worked by
him. Paul Baumel, assayer, of Portland,
spoke at greater length on the character
of Oregon ores, treating tho subject in
detail and furnishing much of Interest
concerning the differences .found in vari
ous counties of the state. Among those
present were the following:
C. M. Miller, Alaska; S. Chapman,
Sumpter; J. C. Mlkle, Sumpter; J. Wad
del. Baker City; Charles Hard, Denver;
F. J. Perkins, Baker City; W. C. Pairau,
Grant's Pass; Mllo P. Ward, of Southern
Oregon fame; N. D. Ponnay and Joseph
Ponnay, of Portland; Paul Baumel, Port
land; A E. Jackson, Portland; J. Frank
Watson, Portland; James A. Rountree,
Ketchikan. Alaska; A. W. Ellis, intro
duced as the father of Sumpter; Judge
J. C. "Hare and son, Hlllsboro; G. B. Ocr
elll, Portland; J. A. Arment, Portland;
Dr. H. R. Llttleficld, Dr. C. W. Cor
nelius and Dr. Frank E. Ferris, all of
Portland, and T. G. Davidson, of Port
land. In the absence of President P. J. Jen
nings, Vice-President A. Newlands pre
sided. A unique badge of office was a
gavel composed of a large chunk of ore
from the Golconda mine. Vice-President
Newlands briefly reviewed the purposes
of the club at the opening, explaining the
value of gathering mining men together,
and Introduced the first .speaker, Paul
Baumel. Mr. Rountree was called upon
for a few remarks concernlgn quartz
mining in Alaska, and1 responded with a
glowing picture of the vast prospects
there a-waltlng legitimate development
work. .He believed the time would come
when all of Western Alaska would be a
great mining district of paying ore.
George M. Williams, now engaged in
applying the Australian and New Zealand
dredge system to Southern Oregon, spoke
In a very entertaining manner of that
work. He said in New Zealand today
thero are 200 dredges on a single river,
arid expressed the belief that this system
Is the only one by which great tracts of
low land can 'be ' successfully worked.
Questions asked concerning the dredge
Were fully answered.
Mr. Perelll was asked for an address,
and said he would confine his remarks to
one single district in Oregon the Blue
River basin. In Introducing him, the
chair announced him as a mining engi
neer of vast experience, and the speaker
said whatever credit was given him he
wished to use to bring forth the promis
ing field of mining In Southern Oregon
near Eugene. He predicted for the Blue
River a future that would not fail sec
ond to that of any district Jn the state,
Sumpter not excepted. Capital, he said,
Is only needed to conduct intelligent de
velopment -work, and It Is working Its way
there.
A. W. Ellis, of Sumpter, said a few
words of that vast mineral belt, which
Mr. Rountree had predicted -would be
great, as far back as 15 years ago. Mllo
P. Ward, who has considerable interests
in Southern Oregon mines, gave a few
hints on placer work, and closed with an
emphatic request that miners come for
ward to support the club recently
organized for the comfort and en
lightenment of all Interested In
that work. The last speaker was the
stand-by. Colonel F. V. Drake, who coun
seled exploitation of Oregon's mineral re
sources along legitimate lines; and with
a spirit of live and let live. Capital had
been bitten in the past, which had done
more to Increase its timidity than all else,
and those now at work should heed this
backset by doing good, honest work.
Refreshments were served to the club's
guests by order of Secretary F. J. Hard;
mining literature and maps -were dis
cussed, and the remainder of the evening
was spent in a sociable communion,
wherein the champions of the various dis
tricts in the Northwest fought over their
causes with great hilarity.

INJURED BY A RUNAWAY.
3rina Julia. Stroeder Narrowly Es
cape!! Death Excltlnjc Scene.
A runaway team attached to a carriage
nearly caused the death of Miss Julia
Stroeder. at the corner of Front and Mor
rison streets, yesterday afternoon. Just
before 3 o'clock. The team had run all the
way down Morrison from Sixth, In spite
of Ed Anderson, the driver, who reso
lutely held the lines. Anderson, In order
to prevent the horses from running on to
Morrison-street bridge, turned them dowit
Front street, where Miss Stroeder was
crossing toward the bridge. The young
woman tried to .get out of the way, but
was caught under the horses at the Es
mond hotel corner, one of the animals falling-
on her. She was picked up- in an un
conscious condition and taken Into a room
in the hotel.
At first It was thought one of her eyes
was entirely destroyed, but an examina
tion proved that the eye was not Injured
beyond recovery, but very severe bruises
and internal injuries had resulted from the
crushing- weight of the team.
The injured young woman was taken to
her home, 161 East Twentieth street. In a
carriage furnished by Anderson Bros., and
everything possible was done to relieve
her sufferings.
A boy of 13, who was in the vehicle dur
ing the perilous ride down Morrison street,
jumped out just before the collision with
tho curb, and escaped without Injury. Tho
vehicle was wrecked, but the horses were
not materially damaged, being secured
where they fell.
Morrison-street pedestrians who wit
nessed tho runaway say tho driver ex
hibited wonderful presence of mind and
determination, clinging to bi3 seat, his
hat on! and with a vice-like grip on the
reins. He steered the panic-stricken horses
clear of all obstructions, crossing the
street-car rails repeatedly on. the down
grade rush. The street was full of people,
outj as usual, on Saturday afternoons,
and many of them did not realize that a
runaway was on the programme until the
horses had dashed by them. Those who
were apprised of the approaching team
dodged into stores and cross-streets in
order to give It a clear field.
When near Third, Mr. Anderson came
very near checking the horses, but they
got beyond Tils control again. Tho tongue
of a truck, to which two horses were
attached, was broken short off, opposite
tho St. Charles Hotel, but this was all the
damage done prior to Miss Stroeders ac
cident. e
EAST MORRISON OPEN.
Main East Side Unsincss Thorough
fare Aenin Ready for Travel.
The repairs to East Morrison street,
from East Water to Union avenue, were
practically completed yesterday forenoon,
and the street was thrown open to the pub
lic. It was not long before the street was
fully occupied by teams, and Belmont was
deserted. There was general rejoicing all
through Central East Portland that East
Morrison is once more open for the use of
the public. It was closed -very nearly a
year. The intersection of East Morrison
and East Water streets is being covered
with new plank, but this doss not Inter
fere with the use of East Morrison, as
only one side of the Intersection was lorn
up at a time, the other side remaining
for the passage of teams. By the comple
tion of the roadways the hacks from the
hotels can once more reach the depot plat
form, and tho Southern Pacific passengers
will bo greatly convenlenced. Engineer
Chase has seen to It that a first-class piece
of work was done In this roadway, and It
Is now practically new, and will last for a
number of years. But It Is evident that
unless the other roadways are repaired and
kept open. It will .have to carry the bulk
of the travel passing over Morrison
bridge. As the little mass meeting held
at the office of Justice Vreeland's resulted
In the repairing of East Morrfson street,
perhaps another such a gathering might
get the other roadways repaired also.

The Platform.
"We, the representatives of the Prohi
bition party of Multnomah County, In
convention assembled, reaffirm our allegi
ance to the State and National Prohibi
tion party. We declare the suppression
of the manufacture of and the traffic In
Intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes
to be the most important Issue before the
American people. We believe the removal
of this, the mightiest evil known to the
world, cannot be brought about except
through a political party created for and
pledged to thl3 end.
"Thus declaring and believing, we Invite
to party fellowship all those who in this
with us agree."
The Prohibition party of Multnomah
County and the City of Portland met yes
terday afternoon In the Allsky building
and nominated the candidates for office
and promulgated the declaration of prin
ciples preceding. It was not a delegate
convention: all voters who pledged party
fealty being welcome. The proceedings
were dignified and harmonious, and thero
was an entire absence of that unseemly
scramble for office that sometimes charac
terizes political conventions.
E. O. Miller, field secretary of the party,
called the meeting to order with a few
words of cheer. In which he said that the
party will receive 10,000 votes in the state
at the June election. He announced that
tho state convention of the party will meet
In Portland April 9 and 10, and that a
monster mass meeting will be held on the
evening of the 9th. at which Mr. Woolley.
of Chicago, editor of the New Voice, will
speak. The condition on which Mr. Wool
ley la to speak Is that 400 new subscrib
ers to his periodical must be secured In
the city.
Temporary organization was effected by
the election of H. M. Clinton, chairman,
and Oscar Cox secretary. The temporary
organization was made permanent.
The chair appointed the following com
mittees: Nominations E. O. Miller, Arthur John
son and D. P. Haynes.
Resolutions I. H. Amos, Rev. Huber
Ferguson and Aaron Bray.
While the committees were preparing
their reports. Rev. N. A. Baker, statu
organizer for the party, made a speech
of 15 minutes.
The committee on resolutions also
brought In a minority report, which dif
fered from the majority report only In
two or three words. The majority report
which was adopted, rends: "Cannot be
brought about, except through a political
party created for and pledged to this
end." The minority desired to substitute,
"Can best be brought about." etc.
Thoso present were: J. P. Newell. A. P.
Johnson. E. T. Johnson, Rev. Huber Fer

Cross-Road Cycle Path.
The County Commissioners have agreed
to build a cycle path between -the Section
Line road and Hawthorne avenue, along
East Thirty-ninth street, where there is a
county road. The path will likely be ex
tended along Hawthorne avenue to East
Thirty-fourth, thus connecting with the
Toadway on that street. This cross-road
path will be beneficial to the people living
In the Richmond tract south of the Sec
tion Line road, and will also practically
connect the cycle paths on the Base Line
and the Section Line roads. Sunnysld
people also will greatly appreciate this
path.

One Patent Medicine "Which Has the
Field to Ksclf.
A prominent physician was recently
asked why it was there are so many "blood
purifiers." "nerve tonics" and medicines
for every 111 except one of the most com
mon and annoying, d-'scases, viz., piles".
He replied, there are two principal roa
ions: First, physicians and people In gen
eral have thought for years that the only
permanent cure for piles was a surgical
operation, and that medicinal preparations
were simply palliatives and not a cure for
the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, unlike many
other diseases. Is in no sense an imaginary
trouble. A sufferer from piles Is very much
aware of tho fact and for this reason the
few pile salves and ointments, etc., have
been short lived because the patient very
soon discovered their wcrthlessness.
He continues: However there Is a new
pile remedy, which. Judging from Its' popu
larity and extent of Its sale, will soon take
tho place of all other treatment for piles.
It has certainly made thousands of cures
in this obstinate disease and its merit, re
peatedly tested, has mode It famous
among physicians and wnerever Intro
duced. The remedy Is "Sold by druggists
evorywhere under the namo of Pyramid
Pile Cure.
It Is in convenient, suppository form,
composed of harmless astringents, and
healing oils, gives immediate relief In all
forms of plies and a radical cure "with
out resort to the knife and without pain
or Interference with dally occupation.
One stror.s recommendation for tho rem
edy Is that It contains no cocaine nor
opium and is absolutely safe to use at
any time.
One of the suppositories is applied at
night, is absorbed and the cure is natural
and painless.
It permanently cures itching, bleeding
or protruding piles and is the only Temedy
except a dangerous surgical operation that
will do so.
All druggists sell a complete treatment
of the suppositories for 50 cents and the
Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall, Mich., will
mall free to any address a little book on
cause and cure of piles which may be of
assisfanco in chronic cases.
