That office end not party Is the thought uppermost in "the minds of the so-called Republicans who are candidates fdr l-State Senators from Multnomah County on the Citizens ticket Is further demonstrated by the arrangement of their names on the official ballot, made at their request.. Pierce Mays fearsd that he might not be grouped -with Inman, Smith and Hunt, so he made a special request that his name be put with the others.

Smith, Andrew C, of Portland. Mays letter asking this form of ballot, and the indorsement of his associates, fol lows: "Portland, Or., May 21. H. H. Holmes, Clerk of the County Court, Dear Sir: As it becomes your duty, under the Austra lian ballot act, to prepare a form of ballot within a day or two, I beg to call your at tention to the fact that I have been nom inated under the designation of Citizens ticket. "While the nomination was made by individual electors, and not by the as sembly of -voters that nominated the oth er three persons who are candidates for State Senators from this county upon the Citizens ticket, my nomination was Teally intended by the said individual electors to take the place of that of Hon. D. P. Thompson, -who was first nominated for the place, but who declined the candidacy. I therefore prefer, and will request you in making up your ticket, to group all of the names of the candidates for State Sen. ator upon the said Citizens ticket together. Including my name. As you will observe by section 49 of the Australian ballot law, as amended in 1895, you are thereby di rected to arrange the names of the can didates for .the office under the designation of the offices In groups, as presented in the several certificates of nomination. Four persons only have been nominated for the State Senate fro'm Multnomah" County upon the Citizens ticket, .and. as presented in the several certificates of nomination, by one term, viz.. Citizens ticket, has been adopted to express the party or political principles which each of those persons represents. Trusting that you will find it proper In compliance with the law to make this arrangement of the ballot and not to segregate -my name sep arately from the others of the candidates for the same office -Kith nhom I am asso ciated, I remain, yours truly, "F. P. MATS." "We each agree totthe above Tequest of F. P. Mays. "ANDREW C. SMITH, "JAMES E. HUNT, "R. D. INMAN." Hunt, Inman, Mas and Smith appear on the ballot, by their "own request, as Citizens. They are neither Republicans, Democrats, nor Populists, and are without party affiliations, without 'platform, and accountable to no one. The ex-Republican nominees profess to be loyal to the .party, " but. they have no good reason to expect Republican otes after having throw-n the party oerboard In their scheme to defeat the Repubhcun ticket. SCA DI.VAVI AN' REPUBLICAN'S. They Held n Ilouiiu;? Rally In Arlon Hall. The ScandjiaIans held a big rally last evening In Arion Hall, under the auspices of the Scandinavian Republican Club. Good music, interceding speakers and much enthusiasm were the features of the meeting. President C. F. Peareon, presiding officer of the club, introduced the several speakers In detail with felici tous remarks. Gustav Anderson delivered .the principal address of the evening, cov ering mci-t of the 'ssucr In the present campaign, and pointing out the excellent qualifications of several of thr straight Republican candidates. Particular Im portance was laid on the efficiency of If. S. Rowe. for the office of Mayor, Captain C. E. McDonell, for Assessor. W. B. Chase, for CItj Engineer, J. M. Long, for City Attorney, and Russell E. Sew all, for District Attorney. Mr. Anderson characterized the attack made on Mr. Sew all as an Infamous affair. Mr. Rowe, Mr. Sewall. Mr. Long, D. Soils Cohen, Captain McDonell and others were also heard in short addresses. Mme. Norelll favored the audience with an ex cellent vocal selection, and for the en core sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," with good "effect, the entire assemblage rising in a body as she began. Towards the close of the programme she sang 'America." while the audience joined in the chorus. A young man known as Ivan hoe gave tome or.ginal and clever compo sition exhibitions In rhyme, adapting them to the various candidates on the platform, with ludicrous effect. The Norwegian quartet sang two selections in their na tive tongue. Of the candidates present, besides those speaking, there were S. C. Beach, candi date for the office of Recorder of Convey ances; Ed "Werleln, for City Treasurer: W. B. Chase, for City Engineer; T. a Devlin, for City Auditor; Rodney L. G1I san, for Councilman In the Second "Ward; Otto Kraemer, for Justice of the Peace; Dr. D. H. Rand, for Coroner, and J. Thorburn Rosa, George L. Story and R. ,F. Freeman on the straight Republican Leg islative ticket. TONGUE'S ELECTION ASSURED. Hon. C. AV. Fulton's Opinion of the Second District. "Tongue Is going to be elected by an In creased majorltv." said Hon. C. W. Ful ton, of Astoria, yesterday. He had Just dropped Into Portland from a campaign ing tour of Western Oregon, having vis ited and spoken in Lane. Douglas, Linn. Benton. Marlon and Clackamas Counties. "The Republican sentiment Is high and growing all along the l'ne," he contin ued. "The opposition have no confidence and no enthusiasm whatever, and appar ently have given up the fight. There is a universal feeling in favor of expansion, and I personally know many Democrats who will vote for Tongue and the Repub lican Legislative tloket on that Issue. It Is certain that the counties I have men tioned will send Republicans, to the Leg islature. "Marion County, of course. Is a foregone conclusion. I have not been home for some weeks, but I had a long talk over the telephone today with friends in Astoria, and I have no doubt that the Republicans will carry everything In Clat sop." Wnnamaker Threatened. PHILADELPHIA. May 26. A mass meeting of citizens which was limited only by the capacity of the Academy of Music was held .ast night to. protest against the alleged action of Director of Public Safety English In threatening the personal character of ex-Postmaster-Gen-eVal John Wanamaker.If he did not use his influence to have tne attacks against the city administration by the North American, his son's newspaper, discon tinued. The meeting adopted resolutions colling "upon the Mayor tftd Director to vacate their positions if they would not cjearly establish their innocence of the charge of threatening Wanamakcr. Qualified for County Commissioner. "J. G. Mack, one of the "Republican nom inees, fer County Commissioner, is the proprietor of the only exclusive carpet haase In Oregoa. He took hold nf the business in thehard times, gave it ener getic and intelligent direction, and his house Is now counted among the big mer cantile establishments of the metropolis. Mr. Mack Is well equipped to care for the interests of the taxpayers. After, all, the county Is but a great business house. with bills to pay and debts to collects He is best qualified for County Commis sioner .who has proved himself able to manage a. large mercantile business. In tihat respect.Mr. Mack Is especially strong with voters. Ralph Hoyt's "Ticket. County Treasurer Ralph "TO. Hoyt, who is a candidate for re-election 'as an in dependent, made what- jpoold pass for a great "spiel" on hlg loyal Republicanism at the open meeting of the Plasterers' Union Friday night. "Which ticket are you supporting?" asked a Republican voter. "I am supporting tbe ticket on which is the name of Ralph W. Hoyt and that of no one else," was Candidate Hoyt's prompt response. Somewhere in an old book it is related that a great man once asked another great man what was the object of ail legislation. "To do the greatest good to the greatest nunfber," was the reply. "And -wfiat is the greatest number7" "Number L" Candidate Hoyt wants to be number L What matters it, so long as he rides In the bandwagon. If the Republican party holds on to the tailboard and trots in the dust. Rally at Gresham. At the Republican meeting at Gresham Friday evening, there were nearly 150 voters and probably a third as many of the fair sex. The Portland delegation, which consisted of C W. Gay, Thomas Scott Brooke, B. F. Robinson, Captain Charles E. McDonell, John K. Kollock, J. G. Mack, George Steel, N. H. Alexander, William Showers and Frank F. Freeman, left the Republican headquarters in the Worcester building In a carry-all and braved the weather for the round trip. The meeting was held In Metzger's Hall, and wad presided over by Dr. BelL All the candidates made good speeches, and were heartily cheered. Gresham is a Republican community and will add many votes to the party's plurality on Juno 4. In the Tent. In spite of the rain Friday evening, quite a crowd gathered In the tent on Beacon, street Eighth Ward, but it was impossible -to -proceed according to the programme. The storm was so severe that the water entered, the tent, making every part damp. However, H. S. Rowe, T. C. Devlin, John Stoddard and several other regular Republican candidates were pres ent, and they had a good time, notwith standing the unfavorable condition. The Southern Pacific band entertained the crowd with a number of selections. Ar rangements will be made for holding a Republican rally In this tent next Satur day evening, provided the weather Is favorable. The announcements will be made this week. At Sunnyslde. The Sunnyslde Republican Club will have a big rally next Saturday night, which will wind up the demonstrations at that place. The club postponed Its meetings for sev eral weeks on account of other gather ings, but will make it a point to have a large audience Saturday evening, June 2. rsrSgC85!S5S3S!ffl5 General H. B. Compson Is the Demo cratic nominee for the Important position of County Assessor. Equal and Just tax ation is a promise positively made by General Compson, if elected. The follow ing record of this well-known man is an enviable one. When a boy of but 15 years of age he "dft the plow and enlisted" as a private Jn the Eighth New York Cavalry, and served throughout the war, He rose from the ranks, holding every position from private to commander of his regi ment, and was voted a medal of honor by congress for distinguished gallantry In action. Among the great battles he so distinguished himself in, are: Gettysburg, Antletam, Fredericksburg, Chancellors ville,the "Wilderness. Spottsylvanla. Co'.d Harbor, Cedar Creek, and Winchester. Since the war. General Compson has filled many responsible and prominent po sitions, always to the satisfaction of the people. His business experience has been varied, and to use the words of a promi nent taxpayer, you will make no mistake in casting your vote for General H. B. Compson for Assessor. STREETS AND SEWERS. Modern Municipal Problems. It Is important, that the betterment and maintenance of the public thoroughfares and the sanitary system of a large and growing municipality be placed under the supervision of a man of known ability and unimpeachable character. The candidacy of Mr. Oscar H. Bellinger for theposition of City Engineer affords the voters of the City of Portland an opportunity to secure the services of one fully qualified In every particular to carry on. In a capable and economical manner, the large public Im provements which will, no doubt, be un dertaken In this city during the next two 3 ears. Mr. Bellinger is a native of Oregon. He Is a son. of Hon. C. B. Bellinger, Judge of the United States District Court. He was educated in the public schools of Portland, attending, however, for several years a famous poly technical -institute in the East, where he acquired the theoret ical knowledge of his profession. Soon after his return he was elected City Engi neer of East Portland, which office he occupied for about four years with due credit to himself and to the entire satis faction of the property-owners of said city. For the past six years he has held a re sponsible position in the engineer corps of one of Oregon's leading railways, being Intrusted with much important work re quiring professional skill of the highest character. It is a business proposition with American railroads to engage the men best fitted for their work, hence the Indorsement Mr. Bellinger has had be stowed upon him by reason of his employ ment on one of Oregon's greatest traffic arteries phould commend him to "the favor of the electors on June 4. EXCEPT THE CRIMINAL CLASS Business men, professional men, mechan ics and laboring men are equally" Inter ested in the proper administration of the District Attorney's office. George E. Chamberlain if elected will conduct Its affairs in a manner that will meet the approval of all classes except the crim inal class. . &332p5KS2S3sra V S "" 3sW S3W3533KBW - "fit SSESi.SSKSH ''HBBPjIsisssssssH OFF, FOR CAPE NOME -ConUnued from First Page.)

Dr, Daly Abandoned His Canvass and Returned H6me to Help the People., Immediately upon receipt of the news of the conflagration at Lakeview, Dr. Daly, the Democratic-Peoples nominee for Con gress, in the First District, abandoned his canvass and started home In order that he might render his assistance to the 'people of his home town la their mis fortune. . The following communications explain themselves: "Telegram.'" "Medford, Or., May 23, 1900. To Dr. T. V. Hall. Lakeview, Or.: 'Express to peo ple my heartfelt sympathy In their great loss. ShalL return at once to render aid. WTille I have lost nearly all I have, I de plore more the hardship and suffering the calamity has wrought upon my friend and fellow-citizens. "BERNARD DALY." "Medford. Or., May h. 1900. Hon. R. S. Sheridan, Chairman Democratic State Central Committee, Portland, Or. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your message for warding Dr.-T. V. -Hall's telegram, con talnlng the Information that the town of Lakeview, my home, has been almost to tally -destroyed by fire. Including tho greater part of my property. "I am. therefore, very sorry to inform you that I will be compelled, temporarily at -least, to retire Irom my canvass and return home. "While I fully realize that my political interests may be materially affected there by, I feel that a higher duty calls me to render such assistance as I am able to my friends and neighbors at home, many of whom have been left homeless by this great calamity. "I confidently believe that my friends throughout the district will carry the campaign to a successful termination, and therefore ask you to cancel my political engagements for the present. "Thanking you for the uniform kind ness and confidence that have been be stowed upon me, and with an abiding faith in the success of our cause. I am sincerely yours, BERNARD DALY, "Candidate for Congress, First Dist." NUMBER 26 On the Official Ballot Is the Number of Russell E. Setrall, Republican ' Candidate for District Attorney. Two years ago Mr. Sewall was elected District Attorney for the Fourth Judicial District over four strong men of unques tioned ability, widely known through Multnomah County, receiving nearly as many votes as all the other combined. The progress of the present Republican campaign develops the fact that as a can didate for re-election Mr. Sewall Is stead ily growing stronger. During the past term he has filled his Important office in a most creditable manner. He has been ef ficient in his duties, has displayed com mendable zeal and Jn the prosecution of criminals has been notably and unusually successful. His management of some of the most Important cases that have been tried before the bench of this county has been marked by clearnesn and clean cut legal acumen. Both grand and petit juries have united In commending his methods, his Industry and his ability. Mr. Sew all's renominatlot. was won in ,the face of great personal opposition, aug menting the forceful efforts put .forth by the combined opponents of the Republican party in their endeavor to obtain con trol of this Important political office. With out entering Into the details of these ef forts, which have been already published, the following fact Is becoming plainly evident: His complete vindication in the matter of the unwarranted charges pre ferred by his political enemies and the methods employed by tHem to compass his defeat will large y Increase his vote and swell his majority. Mr. Sewall has been well known to the people of Port Ianr since his childhood. The generation among which he has'grown to manhood Is especially active In his support, and with his manifestly Increasing strength his majority In June should exceed that which clecfed him two years ago. LOOKS LIKE A WINNER. George E. Chamberlain was elected m 1S95 by the people of Oregon to fill the im portant position of Attorney-General. He fulfilled the most sanguine expectations of his numerous friends, and retired from that office with the respect of both of the great political parties. His Integrity and ability have never been -questioned, and If elected District Attorney at. the com ing election. It Is safe to assume that the same high moral standard that charac terized his official efforts In the higher office will be duplicated. Mr. Chamber lain has been tried and was not found wanting. For this and numerous other reasons his riends are confident of suc cess June 4.' NORTHERN PACIFIC-BURLINGTON ROUTE.

Rohrapacher Ded icated to the Maxamas, of Which - He Is a Charter Member. (Dedicated to the Mazamas, and repro duced by permission of the author, who Is a charter member of the society, from the Colorado Springs Evening Telegraph.) Note. The following verses were sug gested by an Indian legend. In which the three mountains. St. Helens, Hood and Adams, of the Cascade range, were con ceived to possess life, with all Its pas sions and emotions. At the dalles of the Columbia, tho mighty river has cut its deep and narrow channel through a vol canic formation, and the ava beds reach on either side to the bases of Hood and Adams. The supposition Is that these, now sleeping, volcanoes were at some pre historic day in simultaneous eruption; and the Indians, to whom, the graceful symmetry of St. Helens expressefd the Idea of femininity, and to whom the rugged masculinity of Hood and Adams was no less apparent, found In fact and superstl-tlon-the warp and woof for this strange and poetic legend. In ages past, when Earth awoke to morn; In eons gone, when Time himself was born; Majestic and Titanic mounds knew life. And hurl'd their thund'ring crags in Jeal- oui strife. Beforo the heart of Man Its Joy and pain To thee unpent, O potent sovereign! Tho mighty mountains, kissing heav'n above. Breather the insatiate fire and bowed to . Love I St. Helens, fair, the snowy Cascade queen, Above the verdant hills stands forth se rene. Her subtle grace and symmetry Inspire In hoary Hood and Adams passion's fire, And while the weary world is wrapped in sleep, ' The rugged Titans silent vigil keep. With sluggish Time they pass the sleep- less hours. And dream, tho waking, of Elyslan Rut ere the Sun King lights the tow'ring A noxious boding fills their giant breasts. The venom to the heart core quickly goes And steeps each poisoned soul in angry throes! The fiends of Fury kindle jealous rage. And chafe to see the mighty chiefs en gage! Before the tender, dew-klss'd blade awakes. The sky, o'ercast, a lurid picture makes: For now the lofty mountain peaks ex hume Red tongues of flame and stifling sul phurous fume. All Nature trembles with affrighted fears. And ere the snowy mantles melt In tears, The mischief of mad Jealousy Is done; The tragic battle of the mounts begun! Gaze, O Mars! From thy dizzy throne descend! Thine eyes, that mortal combat love, at- . tend! Behold, more countless than the orbs of Night. Yon molten missiles wing their fiery flight. And, hissing thro' the vaulted dome of air, Jgnlte -the Heavens "with their ghastly flare! What convulsions these that fill the Uni verse With mighty trembling and with wrath ful curse? What deafnlng din assails the mortal ear With mutterlngs, and dread report, and fear? Ne'er Heaven's ordnance rent the vibrant air With thund'ring bolts of lightning to compare In terror with this awful rain of Hell, That from terrestrial depths the mounts compel! Ne'er on the battle-field of War belched forth Projectiles of such dlra and deadly worth To make bombardment, grand and ter rible. 'Gainst adamantine foe Invincible! From fiery craters vomit flame and smoke That subterranean depths of Earth evoke. Anon, some mighty burden of the Pit, Unloos'd, will hurl its countless tons and hit Again upon the bosom of the Earth, Almost before the pond'rous crag knew birth; While minor missiles from that molten womb In endless number seek their joyless doom. Shrieking athwart the circumambient Sky. To fall once more to Earth, to cool, to die! From pyrotechnic play above espied. Look coursing down each steep-pitched mountain side; Behold the burning rivers flowing there! Where erst the peaceful vales were pass- .lng fair. Is now the lava lake, and on the land Fall burning ashes from a giant hand. O'er all Is cast the visage of Despair. The vales the robe of Desolation wear! Fell Ruin and Destruction, grim of mien. Amid the devastated wastes careen. And Peace, sweet angel, sits with bowed head. Nor lifts her mournful gaze from Na ture s dead: But see! Those mouths from whence but now did burst The Hodean blast, that blackest Hell had nurs'd. Emit no more their messengers of Death. But lull and pause, as seeking second breath. Yet still an angry growling shakes their frames And threatens t resume the war of flames. Rut Weariness, most potent friend of Peace, At last has caused the wo'ful strife to cease. And thus afforded respite for the prayer Of suppliant angels hovering there. Thus their armistice begun, Peace re vives. And. with the gentler Spirits, now con trives To pacify the monsters that heard naught While, unexhausted, on .the field they fought. To God Almighty and to mighty mounts The angel Peace the dreadfu? scene re counts. The One, grand author of the Universe, Her eloquence beseeches to disperse The Demons of unholy wrath contained Within the bosoms Jealousy ordained; Then to the soaring peaks address she makes. And, with a plaintive voice. Chagrin awakes. Where dwelt but now no sentiment save Hate. That evil gale of ev'ry storm-toss'd fate! Then to St. Helens turns the Titans' gaze The first since burst their wrath In fear ful blaze And on her pallid cheek the mounts be hold The mute appeal there jwritten; and the coM , Disdain that shines thro Sorrow's misty tears Upon her proud and haughty face appears. The battered peaks succumb; the day is won. The tragic battle of the mounts Is done. Their hearts. Immortal thrones of Love sublime. Shall so remain until the end of Time, Nor share again with Jealousy the crown And bring upon them fair St. Helens' frown. Furies. Fiends, Demons, all have taken flight. Scourged from the field by Love's pro tecting light; And there the mild emotions onlv dwell That serve the Goddess Venus fair and well. The debris of this fell and awful strife. Through all-enduring Time rja.ll be to life F.xample of the ruin, dread and dire. That follows In the wake of jealous fire. To ages yet unborn the barren waste Shall be a warning ne'er to be effaced. That all who read the moral of distress May dwell with Love In peace and hap piness. Progress of the Woman Movement. PORTLAND, May 25. To the Editors Full woman suffrage Is alreiuy embed ded In the state constitutions of Wyo ming. Colorado. Utah and Idaho, covering 300JXK) square, miles of territory, with J eight United States Senators and l grew lng number of Representatives. Wo have partial woman suffrage In 25 stated Women are no longer bought and sold on the auction block: no longer denied freedom, of speech, freedom of locomo tion, freedom to labor for themselves, freedom to control wages, property, earnings and children. Coeducation has become the rule and exclusion the ex ception. More than two-thirds of all the colleges and universities of the United States now admit women and men on terms of equality not a single State In stitution west of Ohio, so far as I know, excludes women. Women have become the teachers of the rising generation. In the East and South- the leading positions are still monopolized by men, but even in those sections more than three-fourths of the educational positions are filled by women. Women have become wage-earners, and are rapidly entering new trades, and occupations. They are in the stores and factories; in the learned professions as physicians, ministers and lawyers. The modern system of limited liability has en abled them to engage In business as stock holders in corporations far more general ly than was possible under the old system. as individuals or as private partners. M. B. Observe how denial of tho ballot has kept woman down. NATIONAL CONVENTIONS. O. R. A JT. "WIU Probably Make Spe olal Rates to Convention Cities. Since the SouthenT-Paclflc has made a round-trip rate of JSS 50 to the National Republican Convention at Philadelphia from California points, there has been more or less discussion as to whother the Northern lines would make the same rate. Thus far they have given no indication of their Intentions. It has been the in variable policy of the O. R & N to meet the rates named from California by the. Southern Pacific, from the North Pacific Coast, on account of gatherings of this kind. It Is perfectly safe to assume that It will not vary from Its established rule in this instance. There is little doubt but that the O. R. &. N. will not only meet the rate named by the Southern Pa cific for the National Republican Conven tion, but that it will also name a special round-trip rate to the National Demo cratic Convention at Kansas City, as well. The Northern transcontinental lines will probably do the same thing. CATTLE AJfD SHEEP. Many Shipments Benar Made Out of Oregon. The movement of cattle and sheep out of Oregon'is becoming quite brisk. Yesterday C. A. Buckley, of Grass Valley, shipped out of that place a train of 27 cars or 'sheep over the Rio Grande Western.

Intelligent-looking darkey. Then came Sally, a soot-skinned, sidestepping Sally, switching her skirts, and with a large, loud hat tilted down In her face. "Clarence," said the- Judge, "you are J charged with cunsins this girl. WhaJ about itr. . Sally broke in: "He did. Judge; 'dat did. He used talk to me dat no gentler would say to a colored lady! "No, sir, I never. Judge." "He did! Dat ha did! I heered Judge!" "Well." said tha Judge, "what cuage?" "Judge, hrt would make m? blush tell It." "WelL out with it; what did he sayl" "Judge, it would make you blush. "Clarence, what did you say tox her? the Judge Impatiently asked. "I don't remember saying nothing tl would make her blush. I don't reckon could do it." Sally fired up. turning a glare on Cla ence, and shouted: "Judge, bo's a storyJ sah! I'll tell you what he said; ho calle me er hot baby. Dat's what he calle me, too, now!" "What about it, Clarence?" "Judge, I never. I just called her tepid infant." Atlanta Journal. Arabian Gypsies in Russia. "The women." writes Mrs. Burtonr ! rlson. in The Smart Set, of Arabian sies In Russia, "lightly tattoo,ed. ur faces and hands, had gold coins plaite into their wild locks, necklaces of ambe and rings of turquoise, and buttons beaten silver fastening their rags toget er. The men, mora vagabonds knaves in expression, wore felt hats clothes made up of patches. But, desplt this degradation of attire, they bore ther selves with a stately grace I have nev seen surpassed. "Ther was one girl, a pantherlike. ture, with glorious dark eyes, who her right nostril split through with knife. Her free walk might have, given lesson to Sarah Bernhardt in IzeyLl Her. garments were draneries of tattere silken stuff. She was trying to cajol a Circassian officer Into buying somethir from her. He, in his new uniform brown and silver, the breast covered wit silver cartridge-holders; hl3 pistol Jn em: broldered holsters, might have stepp out of a bandbox. At a guard, wfc pushed her aside, she glared like a. wild cat; then, turning, moved magnlflcentl back among her mates." Wanted His Lee Scratched.
