The Democratic primaries wera held yes terday afternoon, when' delegates Tvere jlected to the County Convention, "which meets March 3L It was tame and un eventful. Some little opposition to the ticket that was nominated at the ward mass meetings developed in some of the wards, but In no case was it successful except a few delegates In some of the wards. The delegation stands practically as it was named by the ward meetings. In reality, the primaries were only so many ratification meetings. The list of delegates and the votes cast in the dif ferent wards are appended: First Ward. In the First "Ward, affairs took a dlf fcrent turn than was expected. Up till the opening of the polls, there was but one ticket in the field. During the afternoon, however, It was discovered that another ballot was being used, the only difference between the two being that the name of P. G. Nealand was substituted for that of J. Sherlock. On the count, the former beat his opponent nearly four to one. There was no personal enmity for Mr. Sherlock, a Democratic committeeman ex plained, but it was intended by the ward politicians simply as a rebuke to him, as he has lately been breaking with the party. Mr. Sherlock knew nothing of the trick until the votes were being counted, and when he discovered it, took it good naturedly. The vote In the ward was exceedingly light A total of 53 votes were cast The names of J. C. Welch, T. J. Concannon. J. Krimble, M. D. Nicholas end Martin Conley were on every ticket F.

WHO ROBBED THE FRENCHMAjf Salt of Hearr Gallet Aealast Alas vforth, National Br. ale The suit of Henry Gallet against the Alnsworth National Bank was placed on trial yesterday In Judge Sears' depart ment and the plaintiff told of the loss of 12400 out of $4000 which he alleged he placed in the safe deposit vaults of the department The Jury chosen to try tho caso com prises Henry Netz, William Forrest, J. W. Beaky, D. W. Prince, James January, C K. Burnslde, G. R. Matthews. H. F. Tay lor, D. Cavanaugh, John B. Butenschoen, J. H. Smith, W. E. Spurrier. There Is an array of legal talent Henry E. McGinn appearing for the plaintiff and George H. Williams and Chamberlain & Thomas for the defendant The direct evidence for the plaintiff is all in. At Us conclusion defendant's counsel moved for a nonsuit Tho motion was argued, and will be passed upon by Judge Sears Mon day morning. Henry Gallet is a Frenchman, and con ducts a saloon at the corner of Fourth and Everett streets. He does not speak the English language well, so Albert Salmon was sworn as interpreter. Gallet testified that he rented' a safe-deposit box from the defendant in 1891 or 1S92, and has kept it since, and said that on. De cember IS, 1899. he had 54000 in the box, comprising eight rolls of $500 each, in ?M pieces. The money was encased in paper used by the bank for such purpose. The first five rolls, he stated, were in the box about a year ago, and the other three were made up the last week of Septem ber or the first week in October. On De cember IS, 1S99, he stated he put the eight rolls in his pocket and proceeded to the First National Bank to get a draft on Paris. He placed the rolls on the counter and the cashier asked him if he wanted a draft for $4000 or 4000 francs, saying: "These rolls (five of them) aro silver. Gallet said he returned to the Alnsworth Bank and reported his loss, and then wont to see the Chief of Police, and got a de tective. Finding the detective could do no more than he himself could, he took the advice of the officer to see a lawyer, and called upon Judge McGinn. TJgether they called at the bank and demanded the 52400, and were met with ref usal. Gal let alleged that he never made rolls any where but in the bank, and used the pa per of the bank. Judge Williams, on cross-examination, questioned tho plaintiff closely concerning how he accumulated the money, how fre quently he visited his box at the vault how certain he was that he had this amount of money, and everything in con nection with it The man stuck to his original etory, and counsel next interro gated him relative to" his place of busi ness, and asked him if he rented "cribs." Gallet denied that he did anything of the kind, stating tfcat he rented the premises occupied by his saloon from Richard Williams, anaVpaid no very particular at tention to the women in the neighborhood. His premises, he said, were occupied by himself and wife, and two bartenders had rooms. Part of the building was not in use at all. Mr. Williams next questioned Gallet concerning who was with him on Decem ber 18, when he went from the Alnsworth Bank to tho First National Bank, and as certained that Abel Dubois, a friend, who runs a saloon on Third street was along. The witness said, however, that Dubois was not with him at the box, but stood outside, near the bank entrance, and that when he went to the First National Bank he had his hands in his pockets where tho money wad. In reply to a further question, he said Dubois was not here now. Ho left Port land for France on January 3, or 1C days after this occurrence. John W. Newklrk, assistant cashier of the First National Bank, testified regard ing tho visit of Gallet to obtain the 54000 draft, and the discovery that all but three of the rolls contained silver dollars. Three of the rolls contained 5500 each in 520 pieces. The witness stated that he felt that some of the rolls were light He tore off the ends of the wrappers and saw that the contents were silver dollars. He wrapped the rolls he had opened with First National Bank wrappers, and he identified these wrappers. Gallet, he said, when Informed about the silver, remarked that there was a mistake, and held an excited conversation with his companion, Dubois. Mr. Newklrk stated that he knew Gallet as a customer buying exchange on, Paris now and then, and Dubois had also purchased exchange. Judge Williams asked the witness to examine the books and report Monday the amount of exchange bought by Gallet, and tho dates. The plaintiff rested, and Mr. Chamberlain moved for a nonsuit, first on the ground that the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a causa- of action; second, no carelessness or negligence Is alleged In the complaint sufficient to warrant a judgment on the complaint as it stands; third; failure of the plaintiff to prove allegations neces sary to recover; that no negligence on the part of the defendant has been shown, and that there is total failure of proof on the part of the plaintiff. Mr. McGinn submitted a New .York case that where there Is proof of deposit de mand and refusal, a prima facie case is made out Tho motion was argued at some length. Judge Williams waxed eloquent, assert ing that if such an action can prevail, any institution can be done out of money. He said, among other things, that the complaint concede that there was no way to reach the box except by the key held by the plaintiff, and the key held by the defendant combined. There was no allegation that any other parties had keys, and they must Etand on the alle gation. If there was no way to take the contents out of the box except by these two keys, the money was never placed 4n the box; that was the only conclusion to come to. "The question is whether this court can assume the bank was guilty of grand lar ceny without any other evidence than that introduced here," said Judge Will lams. "How does the bank know he lost 52400? They don't know what money he put in there. If this doctrine prevails, any man can blackmail any bank of this kind out of 510,000 by 'merely saying he' placed that amount of money In a safe deposit box. There is only this man's word that he put the money in this box, and thero is not a scintilla of evidence of neglect on the part of the officials of the bank. This man says he was robbed. By whom? He does not know. Is there any more evidence that he was robbed by any of the persons In the bank than that he was robbed by that saloon-keeper who was with him, who has left this country, for the country's good?" e TO CEMETERY BY BOAT. ,Steamcr T.

MORE THAN 6,500 SHORT IfOT THREE-FIFTHS OF MUIiTXO JIAH VOTERS REGISTERED. Less Than Half of Conntry Voters Aro Enrolled on tke Books Figrares in Detail. Up to last night, 9202 Multnomah County voters had registered. The vote of this county for Governor in 1S9S was 15,749; therefore the indicated unregistered elec tors number 6547. Taking into account the increase in population by Immigration the past two years, the coming of age of minors, and the presence of Spanish War veterans, who were en route to the Phil ippines in 1S9S, and making due allowance for deaths and removals, it Is safe to say that tho unregistered vote today is 8000. Only seven weeks remain In which to reg ister, and there should be no further de lay.

Interesting Teachers' Institute at aiount Tabor evrs otea. The local teachers' Institute which was held yesterday under the charge of County Superintendent A. P. Armstrong, at the West-Avenue Schoolhouse, was of more than usual Interest, and attracted a great many teachers and local educators. The decorations of the seventh and eighth grade rooms, where the programme was given, received much deserved attention. Thrifty blooming plants filled the win dows, while the walls were covered with well-selected paintings and engravings. Some thought the rooms were In holiday attire, but, according to the statement of Professor C. W. Durrette, they only pre sented their customary appearance. The programme, consisting of addresses, lit erary and musical selections, began at 11 o'clock with an interesting address on "Physical Geography," by A. C. Strange, of the South Mount Tabor School. He spoke especially of tho powers of Imagina tion possessed by children and of the value of turning such powers to the study of nayire. Mr. Strange made an appeal for the development of the child's powers of observation and closed with the oft-quoted saying that those who observed the moat closely in this life were the most success ful. He was followed by Miss Mabel Akin, who gave a piano solo In a pleasing man ner. C. E. Sawyer was next introduced, and he gave a brief and highly Instructive talk on "The Newspaper," In which the manner of compiling a big dally paper was cleverly shown. After the noon Intermission and lunch con, an exhibition of oratory was given by Miss Adella R. Luse. "Nature Study in Elementary Schools," by Mrs. N. J. Levinson, was the next subject taken up. The child, the speaker stated, was Imbued with a love of nature, and was robbed of its inherent rights If not Instructed In the natural sciences. Armed with an abund ance of enthusiasm, the teacher did not need a college course In these branches, but could get her Instruction in company with her pupils, from 'books and from nature. Mrs. Levinson closed with an in teresting description of a school where this plan was successfully tried. -Mrs. C. W. Durrette next rendered an excellent piano solo, which won well merited applause. The closing number on the programme wasby Hon. C. M. Idleman, and his sub ject, "Written Language," was handled In a skillful and Instructive manner. Tracing the effect of e"ach stage of the world's history and civilization upon the language, he showed In a convincing way that the language was of more Importance and fully as artistic as the architecture of a nation. Written language, according to Mr. Idleman, was the vehicle of thought bringing the history, the ambitions, the heart of the past ages down to tho pres ent generation. This subject closed the most intercs'tlng and beneficial of the Institutes held In the county this winter. It has been cus tomary at these institutes for the teach ers to pay 25 cents each for the luncheon served by the residents of the district which nets a large sum for the school library funds. This plan was observed yesterday, and $30 was thus contributed to the fund. Thomas MeDermott, Sr., Found Dead. Thomas McDermott, Sr., who has made his home in a small shack near the river at tho east end of the steel bridge, was found dead in his bed yesterday afternoon, and the body was removed to Dunnlng's undertaking establishment A man who gave him name as John Henry, who lives near where McDermott's house is, was brought to the morgue. He was so Intox icated that little could be gotten out of him further than that McDermott had been sick for some days. The deceased has lived in this shack for some time and worked occasionally at the saloon on tho corner of East Morrison street and Grand, avenue. He has a son somewhere in Portland, whose name is Thomas McDer mott He formerly worked at the Fred ericksburg cafe, but the proprietor does not know where he can be found now. The deceased was quite an old man. An inquest will be held Monday. John Henry -was taken to the City JalL ' East Side Notes. The East Side fire companies had a run to Wolff & Zwickers works yesterday morning by a. fire In a pile of debris. No damage resulted. Members of Gilbert Auxiliary Camp, No. 1, Second Oregon, will assemble this morn- ing at 8:45, in the Burkhard block. East Burnslde, to participate la honoring the dead volupters. TURK WAS TOO TERRIBLE. Good Wrestling: and Lively Boxing: at Athletic Carnival. The crowd that attended the wrestling bout last night was large and enthusiastic, but not of the gallery order that graced the previous entertainment furnished by the same management at the Exposition building. The lower floor and first gallery were packed to see the main event, the massive "Terrible Turk," Hall Adall, against two heavyweight wrestlers, Mc Millan and Cannon. A marked contrast was shown in the ap pearance of tho men. Cannon looks the muscular athleto throughout, his upper works -being a mass of whip-cord sinews and wiry muscle rolls. McMillan, on the other hand, was heavier and of the straight-muscled, or long, variety. The Turk was a- mass of 250 pounds, a mixture of weight, fat and muscle. His swarthy, oily ekln was unlike the clear cuticle of his opponents. His slow, deliberate move ments until he secured a grasp either around the body or neck, of his lighter opponents were a sight Once on the mat it was onlj a question as to when ho could get the other fellow under him, and then it was "all off." The wily Turk did all the work, the main object of tho lighter men being to keep out of danger and to break the grip or wriggle out from under the big man. The match was alternating, first Cannon, in Graeco. Roman, then Mc Millan in catch-as-catch can. Four bouts were wrestled. In which Adall was the victor in each case. The first bout was Graeco-Roman, be tween Cannon and Hall Adall. A time limit of 15 minutes was stipulated, or the heavy Turk should forfeit part of the purse. Cannon kept out of the grasp of his opponent for a couple of minutes; then a lunge and he was grasped around the body and borne to the mat Cannon seemed like a toy in the big fellow's hands, his neck and arms being bent with apparent ease. However, he whirled and squirmed from more than one hard place, but the Turk finally made good his half-nelson and bore down hard so hard that Cannon's length was measured. Time, 5 minutes. In tho second bout, catch-as-catch-can, McMillan lasted 13& minutes by clever breaking of the foreigner's vise-like grips. Finally the Turk secured what he termed the "jail" hold, a sort of leg-lock, wind ing his" legs about those of McMillan In such a way as to wear him out Tho third bout was, Graecov-Roman, Cannon being the Turk's foe. The lighter man for five minutes kept the big fellow following him all over the mat but al ways out of reach. Tiring of this, Adall went to the mat, which forced Cannon to wrestle. Several Ineffectual efforts to roll the fat man over; then suddenly the lighter fellow was on the defensive. Another weight and half-nelson hold forced Cannon's shoulder to the floor. Time, 6 minutes. The fourth bout was also all Turkish. The ponderous movements of the for eigner In his following McMillan around the ring in the catch-as-catch-can style reminded one forcibly of a good-natured bear. McMillan's work was defensive, and for 13 minutes the work was fast and scientific. Fierce work by the Turk was met by strategic movements by McMil lan, the strength of the latter breaking more than one dangerous hold. A half nelson again did the trick. As "a time limit for the bout had been set by the management, 90 minutes being allowed Adall to throw his opponents four times in the two styles of wrestling, ha won and had time to spare. Two boxing bouts preceded the wres tling. A three-round go between "Kid'' Walton, of San Francisco, and Jack Way7 of Portland, isho wed some clean sparring. In which Walton appeared to better ad vantage. The second preliminary was a three round boxing match for points between Dick Gennetts, of Portland, -and Young Murray, of Denver, two lively light welch ts. For the first round Gennetts looked as if he were putting it all over Murray, but In the-third round the Den ver man developed a left poke that mora than overcame the local boy's previous advantage. After the wrestling match there was a rattling good set-to between Jack Mc Donald, middle-weight, of San Francisco and Fred Ross, light-weight, of Portland, In which MeDonala agreed to best Ross, or at least gain the decision on points. McDonald had his work cutout for him, for Ross was doing a little scrapping for himself. McDonald landed but a few blows In open work, but In the clinches hls body blows were telling plainly on the little fellow. Ross landed some heavy swings Jolts that would put the majority of tho would-be pugilists on queer street The third round. In which McDonald roughed It decided matters, for Ross was dizzy when he went to his corner. The fourth round McDonald set the pace, and kept ahead on points, thereby winning tho decision. Altogether, the exhibition of boxing and wrestling was clean and scientific, and, being In the hands of competent manage ment there were no hitches, everything being according to schedule. In fact, a little more so, as Manager Merrill had advertised', but the wrestling, and the McDonald-Ross boxing match. The two pre liminaries were thrown In as a sop. and as a result It was a well-pleased and sat isfied crowd. HI ' PERSONAL MENTION. I. D. Driver, of Eugene, is registered af the Perkins. G. W.

"A short time ago I was called to a patient who had been given up by his phy sician, his stomach would not bear food and consequently he got no nourishment and was slowly dying from exhaustion. He was reduced to skin and bones. I Imme diately put him on Grape-Nuts food and Postum Cereal Food Coffee, he could keep both articles on his stomach and neither caused him any pain. He has been ueing both the food and the cereal coffee and has gained so rapidly that I feel he will be out of bed in about a week." Dr. C. Leutwein. Tho reason a delicate stomach can take Grape-Nuts food is that It is predlgested by natural means during Its preparation, and even a small babe can handle It as It causes no heavy work by the stomach and digestive apparatus; on the contrary, being predlgested, It Is quickly assimi lated Into blood and tissue. The' food as well as the Postum Food Coffee contains elements selected from the grains of the field that are of first Im portance to the human body in nourishing and rebuilding it All grocers keep Grape-Nut3 and Postum. piEa .iliafeiJiJALij EDWARDS The Stamp ,0!

Bisnlop Tires Most pneumatic tires are made by forming rubber (mixed with quantities of sulphur or similar substance) around a lining of cotton cloth and then curing the rub ber portion of the tire by subjecting the whole tire, cotton and all, to the heat of a vulcanizer. It cures the rubber all right, but It kills the cotton. The Dunlop Tire is not made that way. By our TX1MX XI RX. " band-made" process we preserve the cot ton in all its original strength and elasticity, producing a comfortable and resilient tire, and not a dead ar.d flabby one. Booklet of any dealer or of us.
