The best guarantee, the safest bicycle insurance, is knowing your bicycle is of THE OLD RELIABLE "Columbia" or Hartford line: Columbia chain models weigh 23 lbs, actual scale weight, and are guaranteed to carry any purchaser. Buy a bicycle by weight (make the dealer put it on the scales). In most bicycles you get five pounds more material than in Columbias, which signifies you don't get your money's worth. Cheap material being bought cheap, cheap wheels can and must contain many pounds of it. 1900 Columbia Chainless Model , . $75 1899 Columbia Chainless Model $60 1900 Columbia Chain Model ....... $50 1899 Columbia Chain Model $40 1900 Hartfords ; . . $35 Stormers and Pennants . . $35, $30, $25, $20 ' Second-Hand Bicycles $8 to $30 Jva S.

Jur committee further recommend lio proxies be allowed other than given to a resident or delerate of vard or precinct from which the dele aving said 5roxy was elected." Pnt Powers' Warning. epcrfc of the committee on per- Brganizauon precipitated a. lively discussion. Into which Pat Powers, who was evidently disappointed at something, or everything, threw a tinge of bitter ness, having all the effect of a solemn warning. The report recommended that the temporary organization be made per manent; that 32 delegates be elected to the state convention, who shall be dele gates to the Congressional and district conventions, and that the delegates should be chosen at large upon nomina tion: that the election be by ballot, and that the 32 names receiving the highest number of votes be elected; that a City and County Central Committee be elect ed, consisting of one member from each ward of Portland, and three from the country precincts; that a committee of five be appointed upon resolutions and platform, to report at the adjourned meeting of the convention, and that no resolution be offered or read in this con vention at any of Its meetings without having first been referred to the com mittee; that the convention adjourn sub ject to the call of the. chairman, and. upon reassembling, nominate a full city and county ticket. George H. Thomas was dissatisfied with the proposed method of electing delegates, and moved that a majority vote be required. It was shown that the count never would be finished. If this plan were followed, and Mr. Thomas withdrew the motion. E. B. Seabrook provoked a prolonged debate by moving to amend the report so that each ward would have one dele gate, the remainder to be elected at large. D. J. Beakey moved to lay Seabrook's amendment on the table, and Immedi ately there followed a long and learned debate on the parliamentary aspect of the question as to whether a motion 'to my on xne taoie was debatable, and whether. If the motion prevailed, it would not carry the main question to tho table with It. Chairman Mllner ruled rightly that the motion was not debatable, and erroneously that Its adop tion would not carry the main question with it. It was now that Pat Powers spoke his mind and relieved himself of that tired feeling that had all day been seeking an avenue of escape. "I am not a candidate for nothing." he declared, dramatically. "But remember that there will be an election In June. If you want a certain crowd to go to the state convention, I say 'Amen! But If you divide the hon ors evenly, you will get more votes in June. Pat Powers ain't hunting for n thing on earth, and he will be satisfied with whatever action tho convention takes." Any number of delegates started to talk, but R. H. Love, of Mount ZIon. got the floor and held on to It for deer life. Dr. John Welch wanted to say a word ha had been trying all day to get in a word edgewise but Chairman Mllner re minded him that Love was still on deck. "Well, he does." said the urbane doc tor; "I thought he set down." Seabrook's amendment was voted down by an overwhelming vote, and the re port of the committee was adopted after It had been amended to provide for the election of the 'City and County Commlt mlttee before the delegates to the state convention. City and County Committer. , Under the report, the first order of business was the election of the City and County Committee. This was speed ily accomplished, with the following re sult: First Ward M. L. Nicholas. Second Ward Pat Powers. Third Ward E. J. Jeffery. Fourth Ward-J. H. Jones. Fifth Ward-John Montag.

Simultaneously with the announcement that the next business would be the election of delegates to the state con vention, two tickets, one printed and the other typewritten, were offered.

Both were denounced as the work of rtngsters. Ex-Police Captain A. C. Barclay "cussed" tho printed ticket which was tho first to come under his notice, and then the other one, when he saw it. Some of his remarks were more vigorous than literary. W. N. Gatens offered this resolution: "Resolved, that It is the sense of this con vention that in the election of delegates no printed ticket be allowed." J. P. Burkhardt defended tho printed ballot Sanderson Reed explained that for rea sons that are apparent It was best to elect delegates at large, and If a hundred men desired to vote the printed ticket they should do so, but not make us of a printed ballot. It was an awkward thing to do. he said, and therefore he would sec ond Mr. Gatens" motion and would also nominate for a delegate. Alexander Sweek. Pat Powers hoped that tho convention WOUM not An IIVa ,hn TfmfKll,.., .... bring In a cut-and-dried ticket "It don't look well," said Mr. Powers. "You can scratch me and put on some old German some old Paul Kruger. That's the way to get votes In June." William Foley said: "About five min utes ago I noticed a printed ticket The same kind of action was brought In here two years ago. This kind of a ticket ought to be frowned down. Let us have no ring" rule," Dr. John Welch said the use of a print ed ticket was an unwise thing, and he hoped the Gatens motion would prevail. Gatens resolution was carried unani mously. The nomination of delegates to the state convention was attended with great con fusion. At times a dozen men were on the floor at the same time, all clamoring for recognition In the most vociferous manner. It was Impossible to do business, and fre quently Chairman Mllner had to call s halt so that the secretaries could get all the names proposed. Those put before the convention were: General 1L B.

I further desire to say that I understand a report has been circulated that on the occasion of Colonel Bryan's dinner at Watson's res taurant that I was reported to have said It was an Insult to unfurl Bryan's pic ture.

Just after tho ballot had been taken for delegates to tho state convention, at the request of Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunl way. the chair Invited Miss Lena Morrow, of Chicago, who was m the hall, to ad dress the convention.

The Pyramid Pile Cure Is a success be cauao It has the merit- which brings suc cess. It cures every form of piles and cures them to stay cured. It is .now tho most popular and best-known p'le remedy before the public, and one reason for Its great popularity Is because It has taken the place of surgical operations, once con sidered the only sure cure. , People often wonder that so simple a remedy will eo promptly cure eucn an ob stinate trouble as piles arc well known to be. 'Yet the greatest remedies and greatest Inventions we have are the sim plest, ami tho fact that It does euro Is all the sufferer from piles wants to-know. The Pyramid Pile Cure cures piles In any stage of the disease as shown by the fol lowing testimonial letters which are pub lished every week and new cases reported each time: From George C Oelck. Owens Mill. Mo.: Some time ago I bought a package of Pyramid Pile Cure for my wife, who had suffered very much. The first trial did her more good than anything she had ever tried. It Is Just as represented. From Richard Loan. Whipple. Ohio: I have used the Pyramid and am entirely pleased and satisfied with results. It does the work and no mistake. Mr. W. R. Hlnes. of Magnolia. Ark.. says: Although I have used the Pyramid Pile Cure only a very short time, yet It baa been very beneficial to me. From ilra. Peter Lake. Mohawk. N. Y.: I received the Pyramid Pile Cure, but put off using It until last wee when I be camo so bad I decided to try it I have suffered 29 years with bleeding piles and have used a great deal of medicine, but never had anything that did eo much for me as your remedy. The proprietors of this remedy could pub lish columns of similar letters to the above If accessary, but these are enough to show what It will do In different cases. The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared by the Pyramid Drug' Company, of Marshall. Mich.,- and for sale by druggists every where, at 50 cents per package. One pack age Is sufficient to cure any ordinary caee. Your druggist will tell you more about it. people, for, as the laws of Oregon now stand, women are not people; not so much that women need the ballot as that men need them to have It Men and women are made of the same kind of stuff." Miss Morrow said she did not believe that the millennium will come when tte ballot Is given to women, but that Justice and right demanded female suffrage. She said that Nature taught It and woman. by virtue of her motherhood, should be i given this power to protect the rights of the home. Sho talked of the sturdy oek and the clinging vine, and said Nature never Intended that oaks and vines should live together. Clinging womanhood, rhe said, meant decayed manhood. She said many pretty things about the solidarity of mankind, tho Golden Rulo and of equal Justice to all and special privileges to none. At the conclusion of Miss Morrison's ad dress. William Foley moved that "the thanks of the convention be tendered the fair speaker for her speech." This wai unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. Delegates Supposed to Favor Fusion.
