"' " ' FIGHT FOR CONVENTION Much Interest has been attached to tlie meeting today of the republican na tional committee, not only on account of its political Importance, but because it will decide the time and place of hold lng the next national convention which will nominate candidates for president and vice president. As to the time there will probably not be much dis cussion. Congressmen and senators are not anxious for a long session, and will adjourn as early as possible, and the convention will probably be held not later than June. That, however, is not so interesting Just now as the question of where the convention shall be held. The canvass by varlbus ' cities has been going on quietly for Some time, and as the time for a decision draws near the contest' is becoming more active. The principal contestants, 'frOm present' Indications, are likely to be Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee, with "the first two in the lead. Chicago refers to its past record as a convention city and offers induce ments, ncludtng,,a guarantee fund of tfQ.OOQ.jiru .he, use;.of! the .,Coliseum bulldlng,;:to, be equipped , by the city at a, cost of $30,000. The guarantee fund however, Is required of nil cities desir ing the .convention ,and in that respect all the applicants are pn the same foot ing.,, The other offers of Chicago, to gether,. with the hotsl. and Jelegroph'c fnolUtlen, .make thatHy a strong can didate. rj ... St. Louis, ns well as Chicago, wants both natlonsU conventions, and,,, lead ing UiduAmifn heW.qut is fhe fact that the world's fnlr will be in progress and that everybody will want to see it, a cirouinatawe, thaj will suable , people .to kiij two birds with one stone. The pi'BHtnc,j3t ,the, exposition, however, Is being used as an argument ngalnBt holding the convention there, It being alleged that" the combination of hot weather and crowded hotels will out weigh other.advnntages, Milwaukee Is making a quieter Hght'uml promises to entertain the convention handsomely If It ihouU'go thereT""""" 11 addition to these cities, Pittsburg, Uotrolt and Sun Francisco are also miking bids, Pittsburg presenting the argument that as the first Republican convention was held there more than half a century ago It would be a mat teiof historic interest to hold next year's meeting t'here also. Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee, however, appar ently have the call, with the chances probably In the order named. 4 WIL CONTINUH TO COME, Te Southern Pacific announces that it fiis brought out from 5.000 to 10,000 horneseekers from the east who have established themselves in Oregon,.

There Is hardly a section i the state that hns not welcomed new voijeis In large numbers, and the In land Empire has been particularly for tunate lirmwihrifRn lionieseekers of the best class. There Is no reason to expect that this western, movement will sensibly tail off so Jong us the railroads offer fair rates to those who desire to make a new hum hi this part of the country. There Is mill room for thousands, and, as the character of 'the country and' Ma re sources become better known, the stream of newcomers will Increase rath er than diminish. While there are al ways inconveniences and discomforts Incident to. changing homes, the most of those who have settled In Wash ngton have found themselves pleasantly located and have sent back good re ports of the Pacific northwest. It is generally regarded as a favored sec tion, and the influx of new people is likely to continue for many years to come. ....... A writer in the Rural New Yorker, one of the oldest of agricultural papers, calls attention to the advertisement now being published in sq many papers asking readers to send for spawn from which to grow mushrooms In cellars. Wliile all that they represent may be true, an old and successful grower flays that while Jarge prices are. some times obtained, 50 cents a pound is a good average price.' As to growing it In cellars, it Is of course, possible,; but as fresh, dressing from the' stable is one of the first essential of culture, the odor rising Into the living rooms Is hardly agreeable. Neither is the handling of the material work particu larly adnpted for women and girls, as often represented. ' It Is simply another scheme for getting money from those who are trying 'to "get rich quick," and It Is believed that a large amount of money has been realized by the promot ers of this and the ginseng scheme. ears What is wanted of soap for the skin is to wash it clean and not hurt it. Pure soap does that. This is why we want pure soap; and when we say pure, we mean without alkali. Pears' is pure; no free alkali. You can trust a soap that has no biting in it, that's Pears';' n.
