DEMOCRATS
FOR INMAN
McBrl de's Former Supporters
Vote Again for Hermann.
C0RBETT GETS 32 VOTES
Moise Dispose of All Railroad Bills
on the Slate by Defeating
Then.
The only change In the senatorial vote
yesterday was the withdrawal i-f Sen
ator William Smith, sine th opening
of the session the nomine? of the j, m
ocratlc minority, and th... concentra
tion of this vote on H';ru;or It. V. In
inun, of Multnomah. The M' Uiide con
tingent again voted for Ulngvr Her
mann, while Corbett received all of his
32 votes.
The houhe, after spending nearly an
other half day In consideration of rail
road bills, disposed of two more yes
terday. One of these measures was
Poorman's fellow-servant bill. It a
debated at length, and although even
it opponents admitted It had good
points, it was defeated by a vote of
31 to 22.
The other railroad bill disposed of,
and which met a slm'l.ir fate, was the
bill of Harris to fix the liability of rail
road corporation for Injuries. But 19
votes were ca;U In favor of this bill. By
the disposition of th'-n bills oil meas
ur: k affecting the Interests of railway
corporations are wiped off the slate.
The only othr measure tak-n up and
disposed of In the house up to noon
was the bill by Harris to make the
removal of mining . nation mark.i a
crime. This was passed without oppo
sition. The bill to prohibit Sunday shaving
yesterday becime a law without the
.signature of the governor, and there
will be no sh.ivln? or hair cuts In Ore
gon next Sunday. This will be a severe
blow to those v ho neglect to trim up
for church Saturday nights, but it will
prove a boon to the barbers, who will
be free to go fishing, attend church or
do whatsoever their wish-.-s may incline
them.
In the senate yesterday morning Hurt
Introduced a hill regulating fares on
fctrett railways In titles of 50,000. The
same wus read three times and passed.
The bill restricts farM to 5 cents for
a continuous trip.
WHAT Ot.'R FIjAG STANDS FOR.
Wherever the American flag Is raised
in token of sovereignty, It stands for
liberty. Independence and equality.
What our flag is to the nation, Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters Is to the individ
ual, Inasmuch as It not oniy gives you
freedom from ycur ailments but pro
tects your system In such a manner
that they cannot return. When your
stomach gets out of order, causing you
to belch after eating, or when you are
so nervous that you toss about all
night, unable to sleep, you should cer
tainly try It, because It will strengthen
your stomach, steady your nerves, and
induce Bound healthy sleep, and for in
digestion, constipation and biliousness,
there Is nothing to equal It. Rheuma
tism Is also counteracted by its direct
action on the kidneys.

War, and war to the bitter end. has
not only been declared by the big man
ufacturers of lime on the Pacific coast

the fight has already been b-.gun and
Is being waged with a force that in
the end will probably drive the smaller

time arrangements can be made for
the declaration of a truce.
As a result of the war In lime, build

this very necessary material 33 per cent

product has for years been held steadily
at $1.60 per barrel. Today H is sold
for $1.10 per barrel, and to date, this
Is bedrock, whether' the buyer takes
a barrel or 1000 barrels.
The big dealers claim that some of
the smaller manufacturers have violat
ed faith and, in certain instances, cut
under the price as fixed by the general
agreement. Whether the smaJler mak
ers have actually violated faith or not
means but little to them now that the
war has been declared. The big fellows
have made the charge and taken the
settling of it into their own hands. The
price has been cut so deep that it will
be impossible for all of the smaller
companies to' survive and It may be
possible .that none of them can remain
In business under the effects of such
