River salmon-pacKcr, wm presiae over
tho deliberations of the lower house of
the "Washington Legislature at the session
which opens next Monday. Mr. Megler,
who has roent more years in the House
and Senate at Olympla than any other
man In the present Legislature, has all
along been regarded as the most formid
able candidate to all of the members ex
cept the King County delegation.
The determination of King County to
remain -with Gleason. however, and their
repeated attempts to form combinations
for his benefit left the matter In consld
erable doubt until this evening, -when
Pierce County, which has had a strong
leaning toward McCoy, of Lewis, sud
denly threw her strength to Megler. as
Burlnir"hl3 "election. The King County
men were thunderstruck when they heard
of the move, and for a long time refused
to credit it. Gleason's friends refused to
give up until the agreement to support
Megler had received a sufficient number
of names to assuro beyond all doubt his
election.
Will Play No Favorites.
The speaker of the House, especially
curing a Senatorial fight, wields a great
Dower In the distribution of committee
ships, and it was for this reason, that
King County has fondly expected to an
nex the honor. Just what bearing the ap
pointment of Megler has on the Senatorial
matter is not exactly clear at this time.
as the Speaker-elect has been very re
ticent regarding his Senatorial leanings,
but the personality of the man and his
long and honorable career will protect

hlsi- from any serious charges of favorit
ism in the distribution of his commltteeai
As it was through the efforts of the
Pierce County delegation that McCoy
"was induced to withdraw and open the
way to victory forSlegler, some of the
members of the Pierce delegation are al
leging that, in return for this assistance.
Megler is to support Foster. That there
is any such agreement, both Mr. Megler
and his friends most emphatically deny.
Mr. Megler states that the only con
cession that was made for the withdrawal
of McCoy was a promise that ho was to
be well taken care of in the distribution
of committees. By this it was under
stood that McCoy will secure the chair
manship of the appropriation committee,

bands of the Speaker..

If there are any particular straws in

Legislature has been practically complet
ed without any 'assistance whatever from
King County, indicating that the rest of
the delegations can got along moderate
ly well without the assistance of the 1 g
county, and may eventually elect a Sena
tor without her help.
While Megler was under no obligations
whatever to King for his success, he very
graciously tendered the chalrmansnlp of
the judiciary committee to his defeated
antagonist, Gleason. Johnson of Yakima,
who secured tho indorsement for Speak

Portland several weeks ago, was remem

ADVENTURE ON COREAN COAST
Wrecked Young Englishman Falls
into Hands of Kindly Fisher Folk.
SEATTLE, Jan. ".Sydney F. Pate, a
young Englishman who arrived In this
city today from Japan, was a participant
in a most remarkable adventure off the
Corean coast three months ago. As a
guest of Captain Martin Petersen, mas
ter of a small Japanese whaling steamer.
Pate left Nagasaki last September. On
an evening in October the steamer was
caught in a violent snow squall and was
swept ashore on the Corean coast.
Pate and two of the native crew man
aged to lower a boat, but when they
lowered sailors into It they found there
were no oars. The boat finally reached
shore, however, with the occupants
nearly frozen. " It chanced that the
whaler went ashore near a native Corean
fishing village, and with the aid from
the natives all but threo of the crew
were saved.
For a number of weeks they were the
guests of the fisher folk, who treated
them kindly. Eventually a tug was sent
from Nagasaki In response to a request
for aid sent there by one of the natives.

RIYAL HOLY ROLLERS
Strange Antics of. Religious
Sect in Thurston County.
GIBBERS WHILE IN TRANCE
When She Apparently Recovers Her
Normal Condition She Gives an
Exposition of the Revelations
He Says She Received.
OLTMPIA. "Wash.. Jan. 7. (Special.) A
new religious sect, that promises to outdo
the "Holy Rollers" has gained a foothold
In Thurston County, and Is holding forth
every night In the schoolbouse at South
Bay. about ten miles from Olympla.
The sect has been dubbed "The Un
known Tonguers," the name being based
upon some of the peculiarities of the ser
vices. Revelations are receive! "by the
daughter of the leader of the sect, and
are expounded In gibberish which Is re
ferred to by the members of the sect as
the "unknown tongue" mentioned "in
Scripture.
The meetings were started by a person
calling himself "Rev." James Hayes.
Hayes came here recently from Okla
homa. Sixteen years ago ho lived at
South Bay, and at that time was an lnfl
del and a scoffer of the Bible. In the 16
years of his residence in Oklahoma he
has changed his views on religious topics.
but has gone off on a peculiar tangent
never before heard of in this locality.
The precepts of Hayes' creed, however,
are not new or unusual with freak rellg
lous sects. He preaches immersion, and
all converts are given a cold dip to seal
them In the faith. He also claims to
perform marvelous cures by the laying on
of hands.
The ceremonies at the meetings held In
the schoolhouse are what has given, the
sect the name of "Unknown Tonguers."
The meetings are on the old-time revival
order In some particulars, with, much
"shouting," exhorting and singing. When
tho leaders have reached a high nervous
tension, Hayes' daughter, who Is a young
woman, lapses Into a trance-llk6 state.
She remains quiet for a time, but not for
a long period. Then she rises, gestlcu
lates wildly, rushes about the room, dur
ing all of which time a peculiar gib
berish pours from her lips.
Hayes expounds at length during tne
services from the Bible, paying particular
attention to the references to divine rev
elations in an "unknown tongue." He
does not profess to understand what his
daughter is saying during the period of
her receiving "revelations," and says that
she herself does not understand her
words. At times tho woman will seize
persons in the audience, and her manner
tends to the belief that she is promising
terrible penalties in tho hereafter unless
wars are mended.
Finally tho revelations cease ana tne
woman regains her normal faculties. She
then professes to expound the relevatlons
In English. She claims to understand: tne
import of the revelations received, but has
no knowledge of the words she has used
and can give no meaning for them when
they are re Dented to her.
The members of the sect proiess great
faith In the divine nature of the woman's
revelations, and the sincerity of Hayes.
Like all cranks of that nature, Hayes Is
securing some few converts. As a. rule.
however, the people of South Bay look
upon the meetings and revelations with
amusement. .Many cunosuy-seexers ai-
tind. So far there has been no criticism
nassed unon the moral conduct of the
leader of the sect or upon the moral
tenor of his teachings.

Introductory sentence of State Treasurer
Moore's biennial report to the Legisla
ture, made public today. 7his statement
is bome out by the summary of the con
ditions ot the Treasury, which shows that

for the same period. w.917,s.4i. mere re
mains a cash balance on hand September
20. mi. of J368.lS9.Co.
The small balance on hand this year as
compared with two years ago Is due al
most entirely to heavy loans from the
common school fund. In 1202 there was
$73,433.42 lying idle in the Treasury in
that fund. That balance has been re
duced by $329,000 by means of loans on
mortgages bearing 6 per cent' Interest and
loans on school district bonds bearing a
per cent. The Idle money In the common
school fund now amounts to 200,000.
The Irreducible common school fund
now aggregates over 54,600,000, all but
52SO.O0O, of which Is out at Interest. Farms
taken on foreclosure of mortgages repre
sent 532.000 of this amount, while the other
5200,000 Is cash In the Treasury.
Two years ago there was a balance of
526S.S33.03 In the general fund, since which
time the receipts from taxes, eta, were
51,997.137.61, and disbursements 52,025.970.69,
leaving a balance September 30, 1S04, of
5240.E37.97 In that fund, applicable to the
payment of general state expenses. The
general fund and common school fund
make up the bulk of the 5553,159.65 In the
Treasury.

One of the noteworthy features of the
report Is the statement showing the
amount of loans from the school fund In
each of the counties of the state. For
many years Marion County property-owners
have taken more loans than any other,
but In the last two years Umatilla Coun
ty farmers have taken the largest amount,
with Union County second,- and Marion
third. The heavy loans made In Eastern
Oregon are remarkable, especially when
It Is seen that there has been a decrease
In loans In some of the Western Oregon
counties. Presumably, the increase in
Eastern Oregon Is due to the more rapid
development of that portion ot the state.
The amounts outstanding In each county,
secured by mortgages on real property,
are as follows:

In reviewing the work of the depart
ment since his last biennial report. State
Treasurer Moore says:
"Interest on loans from the trust funds
is well paid up, and practically no mort
gages have been foreclosed, warrants
on all funds, except the swamp-land fund,
have been paid as presented, with the ex
ception of about two months In the early
part of this year when warrants on the
general fund . had to be endorsed. All of
the counties have paid all state taxes due.
with the exception of "Washington Coun
ty, which refused to pay 5142J1 Interest
due on scalp-bounty tax, making It nec'
essary to Institute suit for its collection.
which has been done by the Attorney
General. "The Inheritance tax law went Into ef
fect May 21. 1903, but the tax not being due
and payable into tho state treasury, until
elcht months after the date of the death
of a decedent, making it Jarfuary 2L 1904,
before any tax was due and payable, it
has not been in operation long enough
even to approximate what revenue it will
yield annually, but as It will greatly la
crease year after year, It no doubt will
In time produce a large revenue, as It now
does In the older states where the law Is
In operation. The receipts In this fund
to September 30, 1S04, amount to 56626.93.
It has been some trouble to get from the
proper persons the notices and. reports re
quired to be furnished this office, but as
the law Is becoming better understood
there Is less delinquency In this respect.
and it Is now quite satisfactory in its oper
ation.
"Since my last report large sales of
swamp land have been made, from the
proceeds ,of which I have been able tq
redeem four warrants on this fund, ag
gregating 516.000 principal, and 510,555.56
Interest, a total of 525,555.56- During the
same period warrants amounting to 521,
263.81 have been endorsed, so that out

land are still being made, so that It Is
possible that further redemption of war
rants may yet be made from this, the
only source of revenue from which war-
' rants on tkls fund can be paid, but I
believe it would be economy for the state
if the Legislature would authorize the
payment of this class of warrants from

after, go Into the same fund."

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
dally dose of sulphur and molasses every
Spring and FalL
It was the universal spring ana an
blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and.
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
in a Idea was guuu, uui uie teuicuj nu
crude and unpalatable, and a large quan
tity had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef
fects of sulphur In a palatable, concen
trated form, so that a single grain Is far
more effective than a tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use Is that obtained from Cal
cium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium
"Wafers. They are small chocolate-coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur In a highly concen
trated, effective form.
Few people are aware ot the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul
phur acts directly on the liver, and ex
cretory organs and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination of
waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
Spring and Fall, but the crudity and Im
purity ot ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worse than the disease, and cannot
compare with, tho modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's
Calcium "Wafers 'is .undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood In a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike.
Dr. R. M. "Wllklns while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found that the
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
other form. He says: "For liver, kidney
and blood troubles, especially when result
ing from constipation or malaria, I have
been surprised at the results obtained
from 'Stuart's Calcium "Wafers. In- pa
tients suffering from bolls and pimples
and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap
pear In four or five days, leaving, the skin
clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal
cium "Wafers Is a proprietary article and
sold by druggists and for that reason ta
booed by many physicians, yet I know of
nothing so safe and reliable for constipa
tion, liver and kidney troubles and espe
cially in all forms of skin diseases as this
remedy."
At any rate people who are tired of plll3,
cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers''
will find In Stuart's Calcium Wafers a far
safer, mora palatable and effectivs preparation.
