TWO DEMOCRATS GO IN.
JOINT ASSEMBLY FAILED.
BUyem u Im ! the Mltcheill Joint
Aeeembly.
Lark Bilyeu, Democrat, of Lane, oc
cupied his seat in the house a half
hour before the Mitchell joint assem
bly which met at noon Monday. Bil
yeu was-Writing at his desk. It had
been rumored around the capitol dur
ing the morning that it was the pur
pose of the Democrats to enter the joint
assembly, and Bilyeu's presence ap
peared to confirm the report. As the
hand of the clock moved slowly toward
12, the member from Lane continued
composedly to dip his pen in the ink
and seemed to be oblivious to surround
ings and wholly taken up with the
work in which he was engaged.
At noon, Chairman Brownell mount
ed the speaker's rostrum, and, calling
to order, directed the clerk to call the
roll. ' The senators, the same as last
Friday, answered to their names. As
the clerk was concluding the senate
c.ill, Vaughan, the aged representative
from Lane, who has been quite sick,
appeared in the lobby, supported by
his wife. He looked pale and very
ill, but he walked slowly to his seat.
Just aliout the same time, Lee, Deino
eiut, of Polk, likewise appeared at his
Bilyeu's name is third on the house
roll. When it was called, he arose,
and, addressing the chairman, said:
"This is the first time I have made
my appearance here in the joint assem
bly. I am here for the purpose of as
Msting to complete the organization of
the legislature. I want it distinctly
understood that I am not here in any
manner whatever to aid in the recogni
tion of the Benson house. I have many
times stated my position on that sub
ject, and I do not believe that its or
ganization is legal.
"I have been accused of aiding and
abetting in holding-up the legislature.
I am here to disabuse the mind of any
oue that I occupy that attitude. I in
form you that if the legislature is not
organized, and at once, 1 wash my
hands of the whole business. I am
tired walking the streets of Salem wait
ing for the majority of this legislature
to get together and do its duty.
"The people who elected me know 1
am not a fool; or at least they believe
so; else they would not have sent me
hero. They want me to help organize
this legislature on a proper basis; and
I am here for that purpose.
"I want to say that many questions
have been raised in the senate and else
where relative to the permanent organ
ization that are not germane to the sub
ject. I take it that the temporary or
gan ization of the house is sufficient for
the purpose of this convention. I have
all along maintained that the tem
porary organization is the only consti
tutional organization, and that is where
I stand now. The members of this
body, which is made up of members of
thelejgslature, are not called upon to
pass "upon that question. The state
constitution has nothing to do with this
joint convention. I believe the deci
sions of the United States senate are a
sufficient guide for the actions of this
body. When a majority of members of
the legislature declare their choice for
United States senator, no power in the
universe can set it aside.
"We have the power here to deter
mine this question of organization. 1
ask the Republicans to come forward
and organize. After this I wash my
hands of the whole proposition. I am
present."
The call then proceeded. Lee an
swered to his name, bat when Merrill
of Columbia was reached there was no
response. Twenty-nine members of
the house were found to be present, and
ten from the senate thirty-nine in
all. or seven short of a majority.
Chairman Brownell then stated that
he had received word that Merrill
would not be up till the 2:20 train.
He suggested that a recess till 7:80 in
the evening be taken. This was done.
There was no change when the con
vention met at night.' Bilyeu and
Lee, Democrats, were in their places,
and Merrill, Republican, arrived in the
afternoon and was also present. Chair
man Brownell waited till 7:38 before
he called to order. When the name of
Vaughan of Lane was reaohed, Johnson
of Linn asked that he be excused on ac
count of illness. Thirty-nine were
present. The conevntion adjourned
immediately following the roll call.
The
XeeeMarr Forty-Six Vote Ceal
Not Be Mustered.
The joint assembly of the Oregon
legislature for the purpose of electing a
United States senator at noon Wednes
day came to naught. The Mitchell
forces could only get forty members to
enter it. Seeing that it would be im
possible to secure forty-six, the re
quired number, a recess was taken un
til 7:30 in the evening, but the night
session developed no change.
Senator Reed tried to get a state
ment from Chairman Brownell as to
which. house was participating in the
assembly. Brownell would not say
and Reed walked out of the room, leav
ing only thirty-nine present. Of the
Benson house Lake was absent.
The sensation of the convention was
the action of Senator Hasletine, who
was considered one of Mitchell's warm
est supporters. Hasletine was present
when the roll was called. He did not
answer to his name, and the chair
asked him if he wished to be recorded
as present. Haseltine said:
"Mr. President, there is no question
in my mind as .to the illegality of the
vote yesterday, and I therefore decline
to oome in at present."

It will require the cultivation of from

Foreigners have been liberal buyers of

large both for prompt and deferred ship

has been rather disappointing but
shows some sign of improvement. The
point to be considered as most worthy
of attention when considering the

of supply and demand which caused the
advance to over 85o still exist with even
increased force. Such being the case,

Hon tins ton Withdraw.
Representative Huntington, of Was
co, on Thursday, gave notice that .he
would withdraw from further participa
tion. This is the first defection, and
now leaves but thirty-eight members
willing to elect a United States senator
by means of a joint assembly. After
the roll-call Huntington arose and. said
he desired to explain his position. He
thought the Benson house was legally
organized, and accordingly he had
voted last Tuesday for a United States
senator. He considered it his dnty to do
so. The joint assembly had now met
for the third time, the roll had been
called and no annoucement of the result
had been made from the chair. He
had voted for a senator on Tuesday, but
his candidate was not that of the bal
ance of the organization. This conven
tion was being held in the interest of
single candidate.
In view of the situation he felt it his
duty to withdraw. He did not approve
of the methods used in preventing the
organization of the house or delaying
the vote on senator.
Representative Lake has introduced
in the house a bill to provide for the
appointment by the governor of a state
veterinary board of five, who shall ex
amine applicants for license in much
the same manner as the medical board.
Members of the board are given per

(That Brought Suroeu Out of Failure
to Boo. Z, T. Maxwell.
From the Republican, Fresno, Cal.
The Hon. Z. T. Maxwell, in 1S87,
having just finished a term in tlio Mis
souri legislature, was compelled by ill
health to seek change of climate, and
fter traveling for some months on the
Pacific slope, settled in Kiugsburg,
Fresno county, California, and engaged
in raisin culture.
The chango from Cuba, Mo., Mr.
Maxwell's old homo, to tho balmy air
of Kinissburg, fur a time seemed to
benefit the invalid, and, for a while, in
addition to his labors on the raisin
farm, he began to take a prominent
part in the county politics, and hold
several offices of trust in his new state.
But ill health was the drawback whioh
prevented hira from arriving at tho
highest political honors, and his active
mind chafed nnder the restraint of an
impaired constitution, so that instead
of improving he became worse. These
facts concerning Mr. Maxwell s health
were so woll known among tho people
of Fresno oounty, that when he lately
reappeared on the busy scenes in ap
parent health, he was warmly congratu
lated by his numerous acquaintances,
and among othoru the writer of this article.
In response to a request to give thq.
reporter particulars as to tho course of
his illness, symptoms, euro, and indeed
all there was in it, he said:
"You have asked mo for more than I
could describe. Sometimes I have
looked over an alphabetical index of
diseases, and fancied I had them all,
but general debility, weakness, insom
nia, indigestion, constipation, partial
atrophy of muscles, headaches, pain in
the baok and limbs, and general
wretchedness was my lot.
"My horizon was contracting, and I
supposed that the circle of my vision
would never again have anything but
my bed for a center, for on top of my
previous ill health, in 1805, I caught
la grippe, which brought mc so low
that I was very nigh tho grim portal.
"New Year's clay I was despondent
and unhappy, not knowing there was
such good fortune in store for m, for I
had hardly ambition to read tho news
paper that" was brought nie, and throw
it on the bed in disgust. As I did so
my eye caught tho announcement of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo Peo
ple, and half in anger and half in con
tempt I read what it said and again
threw the paper down. But I could
not get this announcement of Pink
Pills out of my head, and at last I de
termined to try them, and I did so. I
began to use tho pills, following direc
tions carefully, and by tho timo I had

The question whether there Is tny (
written history which antedates the
Hebrew Scriptures Is one that . has
given scholars no little trouble. The
first books of the Bible were, accord
ing to the statements -or tne most capa
ble critics, written some time between
B. C. 1491, the date of the Jewish exo
dus from Egypt, and B. O. 1457, the
date of. the settlement In Palestine,
Egypt, at the date of the exodus, was
a poweMul civilized state, and to judge
from Jhe allusions made by ancient
authors,' undoubtedly then possessed
a great body of literature. It has,
however,' with the exception of a frag
ment here and there, all perished. The
monumental history of Egypt, that Is,
the annals recorded on monuments and
memorial stones, began during the
third Memphtte dynasty, which, ac-
cording to Marlette, commenced to rule
B. C. 4449, according to Brugsch B. O.
80G6. Though many Interesting facts
have been culled from the monuments
of those very ancient times, their rec
ords can not properly be called a con
nected history, and the Hebrew his
torical writings are thus the oldest au
thentic and connected documents
known to the scholar.
Composite Hoade Should Be Popular.
People In the vlclulty of Pittsburg
have started a movement In favor of
composite roads, consisting of a ma
cadamized track a dozen feet wide,
with a dirt road alongside of It,'. It
Is well known that dirt roads In sum
mer afford pleasanter driving than any
other kind, but In winter or continues
wet weather they are at the other ex
treme. It Is stated that this combina
tion road can be built for $10,000 a
mile, or about half as much as one
macadamized full width. The Idea
seems to be one worthy of general at
tention and careful experiment.
