8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, -PGKQ3AND', MAY 20, 1900. FOR- PRIMARY REFORM REPUBLICAN K030XEES FOB DI t 2ECT XOMINATIOXS. TUey Favor tlie Principle Involved, hut Do Xot Coramlt Themselves to Binckam's Bill. The majority of the Republican nomi nees for the Legislature have declared for direct primary nominations. A. S. Dresser, candidate for Joint Representa tive from Multnomah and Clackamas, and George Lu Story and George T. Myers, nominees for Representatives from this county, were quoted yesterday as being in favor of the new plan in elec tions. All the other nominees except George R. Shaw and C. "W. Gay, who are out of town, were seen yesterday. L. B. Seeley and W. E. Thomas said they desired to investigate the matter further before giving opinions. All others pro nounced in favor of primary nominations. They said: Donald Mackay I am in favor of any thing that tsill better conditions, so far as, elections are concerned, and always have been. In my previous service in the Legislature I voted for the Australian ballot, the primary law and the registra tion law. George W. Bates Direct primary nomi nation is the proper thing, and I favor it .Sylvester Farrell If direct primary nominations have been tried in the East and found satisfactory, they ought to answer for the "West. I favor the plan. J. Thorburn Ross I am In favor of such election reform as will give us di rect primary nominations. However, I do not accept Mr. Bingham's bill. "We have found his registration law to be de fective, and It may bo that his primary bill is defective. A. L. Mills I consider direct primary nominations a good idea. F. H. Alliston I am emphatically in favor of a bill that will meet the situa tion. Frank F. Freeman I favor direct prl. mary nominations. John K. Kollock A law authorizing di rect primary nominations would be ad visable. J. C. Bayer I favor the plan. E. E. Mallory I consider direct pri mary nominations the proper" thing. All the nominees said, like Mr. Ross, that, while they favored the reform, they could not commit themselves to the Bingham Mil. The Grand Republican Rally. The grand Republican rally and demon stration In Gomez Hall, Russell street. Al blna, next Tuesday evening, promises to be a success, and, from all lnd'cations. there will be an overflow meeting on the outside. Wallace McCamant will delher the main address o fthe evening. City Attorney Long will be asked to speak to the overflow meeting, should it be neces sary. The Southern Pacific band will start from the corner of East Twenty-first and Clinton streets at 7:15, in a special car and go straight through. The bard wi'l play while on the way. It will leave the car at the intersection of "Williams avenue and Russell street for the hall. At the close of the meeting the same car will take It bade The Portland Uni versity Quartet will sing. Last of City Nominations. At 5 o'clock jesterday afternoon City Auditor Gambell closed tho list of nomi nees to city offices, and It will henceforth be impossible for any aspirant for office to get his name on the official balioL. There arc 16 efflces on the list, including the Councilman for the 11 wards, and for these 1C offices there are 4D candidates. For the office of Mayor there are five nominees, all of whom will probably not ,bo elected. Five Is the largest number for any one office and two the smallest. In """many of the wards there are three candl-" dates for Councllmcn, and in some there are five. ' New Roosevelt Straight CIul. The new Roosevelt Straight Republican Club, composed largely of members of the Edmunds Club who refused to follow his shifty course, will hold a public meeting Monday evening at Gruner's Hall, corner of East Seventh and East Stephens streets. All the regular Republican can didates are jnylted to be present Since the new club was started o.ulte a number of the "members of the renegade organiza tion have signed the roll. All others who wish to do so can have the opportunity by calling on "William Neidermark. on Haw thorne avenue. It is expected that a strong club will result from the effort. Second "Warders Rally Ajraln. The Second "Ward Republicans scored another success in their meeting of last evening at the club hall, Gllsan and Fif teenth streets. Speeches were made by D. Soils Cohen, C. "W. Gay, Hanley H. Holmes, J. M. Long, J. "W. Bahey, Ed. "Wereln, Scott BrooKe, Charles McDonald and R. L Glisan. Sociability reigned af ter the speeches, and the meeting became a smoker, cigars being passed around. The straight ticket was the only thing thought of, and the Second "Ward Repub licans are confident of success In keep ing at the fore on the fourth of June. Grcsliam Rally Postponed. The Republican rally which was an nounced for Gresham. tomorrow has been postponed until Friday. It has not been decided whether to hold the meeting in the afternoon or evening, and a further Announcement of time and speakers will be made. CREAMERY FOR ELKTON. .Efforts Making- to Establish One at That Place. Traveling Freight Agent. Lounsbury, of the Southern Pacific, lias been In "West ern Oregon, with a view of collecting data in the matter of establishing cream eries. Speaking of the opportunities of- fbred at Elkton, Douglas County, for a dairy, he said: "Elkton Is situated ahout midway be tween Drain and the Coos Bay coast, and Is accessible by team over a picturesque wagon road winfllng through a mountain ous country. Leaving Drain, the road follows Elk Creek for 10 miles, crosses several mountain ranges, and meets Elk Creek a quarter of a mile above the point PRIZE "WINNER IN FLORAL PARADE. where It empties Into the Umpqua River, , just below Elkton, 1C miles from Drain. This small vlllaee. with its two mer- 1 chandlse stores, blacksmith shop and i hotel, is the trading point for the farm ing community scattered along tire Ump qua River basin for a good many miles In either direction. A grist mill was for merly located on the banks of Elk Creek near Elkton, but was carried off. In 1S95 during a period of high water. "Growing grain end raising cattle ara the principal occupations of the farmers in this section. Their only outlet for their products are via Drain to the railroad or via Scottsburg to tidewater. The present low price of grain Is 'having the effect of driving the farmers out of the wheat- growing Dusmess, ana many are in a state of wonderment as to what branch of, farming -they .had best turn their at tention. Every farmer owns a few milch cows; some have fair-sized herds. Dairy ing and stockralslng seem to offer about the only practical solution to the prob lem of farming to advantage. "This section is so remote from railroad facilities that a market is not available for the dairy products of the individual farmer; hence much Interest is being made manifest by the principal citizens in an effort to secure a creamery at Elk ton. Efforts are making by Charles Beck ley, the prime -mover in the enterprise, to ascertain the number of milch cows that can be guaranteed to furnish the necessary milk supply. It is conceded that nothing can be made or grown on tho farm that will sell for as much per pound as butter or cheese. The manufac ture of such products seems to offer the only practical means by which the farm er In a remote section of the country, far from a railroad, can condense his chops into a compact and portable form for shipment to market." STILL HOPES FOR A RAILROAD Ex-Governor Pennoyer Thinks South Portland "Will Get Connection. The Front-street railroad proposition Is not dead yet, according to ex-Governor Pennoyer, who says the matter will be agitated until South Portland obtains an ""all-rail outlet to the terminal grounds. "We have spent $20,000 thus far in putting our sawmill In shape," said Mr. Pennoyer, "and we will have to spend considerable moro in constructing docks, a railroad switch and roadways. We would not feel justified in this, did we not hope the City Council would soon permit us to ship our lumber out by ralL All the river front above Jefferson street Is suffering for lack of a rail outlet, and our demands, If com piled with, will help rather than injure tho property along Front street. The franchise should be granted In such a way that the railroad company would 'be re stricted, and then there would be no pos sible danger of evil results. "We live In hopes of ultimate justice." When the franchise is granted the rail road company will purchase half the block bounded by Front, Jefferson, Water and Columbia, the ex-Governor says, in order to make connection with its line at the Jefferson-Street depot.

Eastern Visitors A mazed at the Gor- gcoH Display Goodly Sam lor tlie DrinUias Fountain. SALEM. May 19. The annual rose fair, which closed this afternoon, proved to be the great success that was anticipated. The only cauDe for regret is that no suit able hall was available for holding the fair. The Council Chamber, large though It Is. proved much too small for the num ber of persons- who desired to attend, and THE SALEM many were turned away last night be causo they could not gain admission. Owing to the remodeling of the opera house. Salem is now without a good pub lie hall. The fair was conducted under serious difficulties, for the recent rains marred tho beauty of the roses. Had the fair been held a few days later, more perfect flowers could have been obtained, but tho date having been announced, It was not found practicable to make a change. But. regardless of this disadvantage, the flowers exhibited did not take second Ta The fair was pre-eminently an ex hibition of roses, and almost every vari ety of that flower was on display. They were all roses that grew out of doors and that had no protection from the weather. Winter or Summer? Some of those that were awarded prizes were grown on bushes planted Indiscriminately In a front yard flower garden. Only In the last few weeks has It been known that a fair would be held, and no opportunity was given for the careful training of roses to be placed on exhibition. In short, the roses entered for prizes were only such as can be grown in any flower garden In the Willamette Valley. But, If Easterners who visited the fair are to be credited, the flowers on display yesterday would put to the blush any rose that grows In a hothouse in the same latitude on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. A rose which, placed Inside of a hat, will touch all sides at once. Is not to be found In every clime, but such are not uncommon here. ' But in the -matter of size, roses are not alone in their supremacy. Eastern deal ers in flower seeds and bulbs take pride In advertising pansles "as big as a dol lar." Pansles of the most beautiful dis play of variegated hues were on exhibi tion ,at the fair yesterday, and some of 'them were of such size that. If placed on top of al6-to-l souvenir dollar, they would hide It completely from view. Even the IC-to-l dollar is small beside the Oregon pansy. The value of the roses on exhibition at the fair. If they could bo suddenly trans planted to an Eastern college town on commencement day, would be enormous. Visitors at the fair told stories of the prices paid for flowers in the East that would scarcely be believed by a native Oregonlan who has not been East of the Rockies. The Idea of paying 50 cents for a rose the size of half a peach seems ab surd, but higher prices than that are paid for smaller roses at commencement time in many college towns. Tho Importance of holding a rose falr annually lies" chiefly in the interest It de velops in flower culture. If It were pre determined that a rose fair would be held each season, many more would be careful to produce greater varieties of flowers and more perfect specimens. The Salem Flor lcultural Society has omitted holding a fair for several seasons, and people have let their flower gardens deteriorate. While the society has not yet determined what course will be pursued in the future, the hopo js expressed that ft fair will be ar- h It M likfe. Mmlm g if ' u ranged for next season, and that It may be announced In time so that roses and other blooming plants may be cultivated with a view to the production of the best specimens possible. The Salem Florlcultural Society was or ganized in 1S92, with the following -members: Mrs. R. S. Bean, Mrs. A. F. Hofer, Mm. J. D. Sutherland. Mrs. P. H. Ray mond, Mrs. John McKlnney. Mrs. A. J. Monroe, Mrs. M. N. Chaptaan, Mrs. "Will lam Brown, Mrs. A. N .Gilbert, Mrs. A. N. Moores, Mrs. A. T. Gilbert. Tho present officers tre as follows: President, Mrs. R. S. -Eefin; vice-president, Mrs. P. H. Raymond; secretary, Mr3. "William Brown; treasurer, Mrs. John McKInney. ! The society gave four very successful rose fairs, the last of them in 1S93. After J an intermission of four jears, it was de cided to hold the present fair In order J to raise funds- for the erection of a pub lic drinking fountain on tho east side of the Courthouse Square, opposite the site of the new Federal building. The society already had In Its treasury $175. and this will be Increased JlOo by the receipts of tho present fair. Several of the prize winners have announced their intention of turning back into the treasury of the society the prizes won. If a considerable number do this, the fountain fund will be materially Increased. BOUGHT OREGON CATTLE. Minnesota Stock Raiser Makes Heavy Purchases. Joseph Roach, banker and cattle king, of Northfleld, Minn., registered at the Impe rial yesterday, on his return fiom an ex tended trip through the cattle-ralslng re gion of Eastern Oregon and Idaho, where he has succeeded in purchasing some 500J head. He found cattle everywhere In ex- cellent condition, on account of the unusu ally mild "Winter and grassy. Spring. His purchases were yearlings and 2-year-olds, which ho will ship by stock train to his pastures on the Yellowstone, In Montana. lll ' - Mill i I':, a, .' xp- jA 'ic ROSE SHOW. Ho Is to ship one trainload tomorrow, from Baker County. Mr". Roach thinks the young cattle which are raised on the pastures east of the Cascades, are better suited to his purposes than those found on the farms and dairies Immediately along the Coast, as the for mer are bred for their beef-producing qualities, while more attention is paid to good milkers west of the Cascades. The bunchgrass calves are hardier, and, being permitted to run the ranges with their mothers, ore stronger and grow more rap idly than calves raised by hand in the farming and dairy regions. For this rea son, ho. is willing to pay more for one than the other. In his recent purcha&3 I he paid $18 for yearling and ISA for ; 2-year-olds, and he Is still ra the market ior ail ne can get. In a recent visit to his Yellowstone ranges, Mr. Roach found the pasture suffering somewhat from lack of rain. ' Considerable "wet snow," he says, fell last Winter, and this gave the grass a good j start, but since the advent of Spring, , there has been a great dearth of Ehowers. There Is yet plenty of time for rain in that t region, and the drought may be broken any time. Mr. Roach will leave today for ijaxer uity. but his wire and daughter will remain in Portland for a month or two. The Old Holladay Sohoolhonse. Jack Donaldson, who secured the two IN THE SALEM parts of the old Holladay addition school house, has not yet move! them, but has been making his preparations to get them started. He hardly knows what he win do with them. He has been thinking of moving one part onto a vacant lot In the northeastern portion of the city and , building a platform at one end and preacn- lng. He hesitates about taking this step, ! for the reason that his theological edu- cation has heen sad'.y neglected. In the I course of time he w!lr decide what he ' will do with the bulidlnrs.

M., at the residence of her son, Dj. William A. Cummlng, 628 Flanders street. For the past year Mrs. Cummlng had been In rather a precarious condition of health, never having entirely recovered from an attack of the grip thaticame to her "a year ago last "Winter. During the past month she was suffering from gas tric fever, this being the immediate cause of her death. Mrs. Cummlng had been a resident of Portland eight years. She was born No vember 9, 1S2S, In Vermilion County, Illi nois, and was married August 26, 1S52, to A. M Cummlng, who survives her, to gether with three children Dr. William A. Cummlng, the well-known dentist, of this city; Mrs. W. A. Wetzell. now of Salt Lake City, well known In Portland be cause of her long and Intimate connection with the musical Interests of this city, and Mrs. Shannah Cummlng Jones, the prominent church singer of New York City. Since early childhood Mrs. Cummlng had been an active member of the Meth odist Church, and had many faithful aid devoted friends in church circles here In Portland, where she was much beloved "because of her sterling virtues of neart and character, her unselfish devotion to her family, and her loyal service and ten der care toward those whom Providence had" consigned to her for protection and guidance. She was essentially a home woman. The hearthstone was her altar; and many were the loving sacrifices of personal -comfort she placed upon it For the past four years she had made Jier home with her son, gladly expending all her valuable energies of heart and brain upon his family of motherless children This morning at 9:15 her husband, A. M. Cummlng3, leaves with her remains for Farmer City, 111., her old home, which will become her last resting-place. MACHINERY FOR NOME. Wolff & Zvricker Iron "Works Busy "With Orders. The Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works has just completed a shipment of mining ma chinery" to Dawson City, which comprises a number of novel features that make the machinery peculiarly adapted to that far northern clime. Fuel being a rare and expensive article up there, the boilers, of which three were shipped, were speclally deslgned by the Arm so as to economize as much as possible on this head. They are built entirely of pipe, even the grate bars being used for circulation and heat ing surface, and encased In heavy sheet steel, lined with asbestos to reduce loss of heat by radiation to a minimum. Be sides these boilers six engines, one cen trifugal and six reciprocating pumps, to gether with conveying and sluicing ma chinery. Piping, etc., were included in the shipment, the weight of which ag gregated over 15 toi;g. The Arm Is busily occupied In completing several large and a number of smaller-contracts for sup plying the Cape Nome trade, and their shipments, directly and indirectly to that country, during this season, represent several cat leads. Off for Nome. A party of four well-known East Side residents will go to Nome together. They are Joe Ben Lane. Harry Stutsman, H. Lambert and H.

NFANTICIDE How Children Are Sent tot Destruction. Now and then some city paper contains ', the story of a case of child murder, which revolts and appalls the reader. The mother hugs her own darling close to her breast as she thinks of that'little. white, cold body, with the marks of fiendish fingers on the throat. She kisses her baby passionately with all her life in her lips, ready to be spent for the helpless nursling she loves. And yet Just such a mother as this, de voted, tender, loving, may bo responsible for a case of infanticide as,pltlful as that other, though less terrible than it. These cases of child destruction are Just as true, J Just as palpable to science as If the moth er had launched the boat to carry her' child over the cataract to destruction. j Let any woman who fee's Inclined to doubt the truth of these statements ask J herself how many prospective mothers make the utmost provision In their power j for the health and happiness of the un born child? WHAT MATERNITY MEANS, j Is considered by women generally with ' relation to themselves rather than to their offspring. They do not stop to think that their physical and mental condition will stamp the coming infant, and that that Infant's life will be a lifelong echo of the mother's moods and feelings during the pre-natal period. The mother owes it to the child to take care of herself. She should be comfortable in body and com posed in mind. She should be free from nervousness and pain. She should eat well, sleep well and enjoy life without a moment's dread or anxiety for the future. The majority of women would cry out that such a condition is impossible for them. They always suffer in the months of waiting. They always have nausea and headache. They are always fretful and nervous, and dread the time of trav ail which is to come. And the average woman thinks of these conditions as the debt which her sex must pay to Nature. But these conditions are unnatural. These aches, pains and sufferings are due to womanly diseases, and these diseases can be cured, and are being cured every day in the year. "I have long thought It my duty to- write you a few lines to let you know what your 'Favorite Prescription' has done for me," writes Mrs. Euphemla Fal coner, of Trent, Muskegon County, Mich.: "I am twenty-seven years old; have been married ten years'. I am the mother of four children. My first two babies were still-born, and I suffered everything but death. My friends all thought I could never recover. I was reduced to 109 pounds. When I was three months along for my third child I was taken with hem orrhage or flooding, and came near hav ing a mishap from female weakness. For two months I was under the care of our doctor, but was getting weaker all the time until one day I happened to come across one of your little books, and I read It through, and the next day I sent and got three bottles of 'Favorite Prescrip tion and one bottle of 'Pellets.' I Im proved so fast I continued to take your medicine until baby was born, and he is healthy and all right. He Is four years old. My baby girl is two years old. My health -has been good ever since. I now weigh 165 pounds." WONDERFUL BUT TRUE. The cures of womanly diseases per formed by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion are wonderful but true. It Is won derful that a woman who had not borne a living child should bear two healthy children as the result of the use of "Fa vorite Prescription." It is wonderful that from "suffering everything but death" at the birth hour a woman should find her time of travail made practically painless when "Favorite Prescription" had been taken In preparation for the event. It is wonderful that a condition, of weakness and emaciation should be changed to a condition of health and heartiness, the greatness of that change being best ex pressed by the figures showing the in crease in weight from 109 to 165 pounds. No figures could show the gain In happi ness which comes with such a cure. All this Is wonderful, but It is also the exact truth, testified to over and over again in. the cases of half a million women cured by "Favorite Prescription" and Dr. Pierce's advice and treatment. "Words can't express how grateful I am for your kind advice and good medicines," writes Mrs. Ada Brooks, of Kirbyville, Taney County, Missouri. "I suffered for four years with what four physicians pro nounced ulceration and prolapsus. Also, Inflammation of bladder and urethra. My case was chronic and complicated. When my first child was born (five years ago), I was in a very bad condition, suffering from bladder trouble. My health had been very poor for some time, when I was taken down bedfast. I was In a critical condition for five months. Had several good physicians, but kept getting worse. Could not bear to be moved from my bed. I kept getting woree all the time. Had been confined to my bed five months when I wrote to you. I received your re ply very soon and then dismissed my phy sician and began taking Dr. Pierce's med icines. I took eight bottles of his 'Fa vorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery, and I began to get better at once: In two months I could sit up in a chair and kept getting better. In four months could do all my housework. In cluding washing and sewing. I think your medicines save me from the grave, and I will recommend them to all suffering women. Several of my lady friends are taking your medicines with good effect. "Please accept my sincere thanks. I hope your medicine may benefit others as It has me, for I am well and strong. Tf nmr one tcbhft to wrltA to me about J my case I will gladly answer, giving at! particulars, if they will enclose stamp envelope." DON'T STAY SICK. There is nothing so useless as the necessary suffering of women from dl eases peculiar to their sex. These dil eases are absolutely and altogethf curable by the use .of Dr. Pierce's Favol ite Prescription. If there is irregularis of the periods the "Prescription" lates them. If there are debllltatii drains, they are dried up by the "Pr scrlption." If there is Inflammation ulceration "Favorite Prescription" curd It, and just as surely cures female weal ness, bearing-down, pains and other for of feminine disorders. That bare statement of plain tacts fail to do the subject Justice. If a newspapd paragraph said "heavy rains have falle in the desert of late" only one who knel the desert could understand the wondei ful Tesults which would follow rain. Tl sandy waste green with herbage. Tl vast silent spaces echoing with the bir song, brilliant with the butterfly's beaut The wilderness and the solitary place made glad, and the rose pouring out he votive sweetness on the desert air. When it Is barely said, "a woman hal been cured of female weakness by the usl of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.! such a statement conveys no hint of th form rounding out Into graceful curves of the cheeks full and touched with th red tint of healthy blood; of the- eye bright and sparkling; of the whole bod: strong and healthy, so that work is blessing instead of a burden. Yet all thesl things do come to women cured of dlsl ease by the use of "Favorite Prescript tion." "I had been ailing some time, beinj troubled with female weakness," write! Mrs. William H. Johnson, of Avondale Chester County. Pa. "Every month would have to He on my back. I tried many-different medicines; and. nothing gavj me relief until I began Doctor Plerce'j medicines, using two bottles of "Favorltl Prescription' and two of 'Golden Medic Discovery-' These medicines have cured me. When I began your treatment I not able to do verymuch, but now I dS the work for my family of nine, and fee better today than I have for a y-ear. thank you, dear doctor, from the bottoi of my heart, for well do I know that yot axe the one who cured me." Women suffering from disease In chronj ic form are Invited to consult Dr. Fierce by letter, free. All correspondence is hew in strictest privacy and treated as a sai cred confidence. For more than thirty years Dr. R. Pierce has been chief consulting physiciar to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Instil tute, Buffalo, N. Y. In that time, aided by his medical staff of nearly a score o physicians, he has treated and cured ove half a million-women. There is no othe offer of free consultation by letter mad by a specialist in the treatment and curt of women's diseases, such as is Dr. R. V Pierce.
