Bets and Rumors of Bets Indicate the Trend of
; Public Opinion as to the Coming Primaries
Democratic Caucuses Next Wednesday '
. With the primaries only nine (Jays
distant, each of the warring Republican
factions Is making vehement claims of
certain' victory. -,
' We have a walkover." ' declared
Mitchell Republican this morning:. "Si
mon will not carry 12 preclncta In the
whole city. Our prospects could not
be better, and it's a 3-to-l bet that we
win."
"Th Mitchell men are merely whistl
ing to keep their courage up." said an
active Simon Republican worker. "We
shall carry a large majority of the west
side precincts' and a good number on
the east side. The people are with us,
and our fight is already won."
"f am neutral in this fight," said a
Republican who has taken no part in
the struggle between the two factions,
."It is a matter of indifference to m
which side wins, but I have, of course.
' been interested in watching the cam
paign, and I have talked with a num
ber of voters about it in order to form
an estimate of the probable results of
the primaries. A little while ago I
thought the Mitchell faction had the
: best of It but I doubt' whether that Is
so now. I have been Surprised to find
how many business men whom I have
met within the past few days are for
Simon. It looks to me now as if ha
, would win- There can be no doubt that
' he will carry, a large number of pre
cincts on th west side of the river."
- . Increase of Taxes.
One of 'the most persuasive argu
ments of the Simon workers is the In-i
crease in taxes this year. Taxpayer
are grumbling over the heavier demands
upon them, and many of them declare
their intention to vote the Simon ticket.
Touch a man's pocketbook and youv
touch his heart." philosophically, re-
marked one-of the Simon precinct -cap-,
- tains.- "If you go up to the courthouse
you wilt find scores of taxpayers stand
ing there In the lobby, waiting to pay
their-taxes," and every one of them is
dissatisfied because he has to pay so
much more 'than last year,"
To counteract this discontent among
the taxpayers, the Mitchell executive
committee hua prepared a dodger set
ting' forth the reasons for the heavy
levy of this year, and .'the' economies
effected tinder the present county admtn-
lstratlon. . . .: .... . ...
XtltchsU. 10 to 7.
Thus far the Mitchell faction is the
.favorite, in the betting. There are ru
mors that i odds of 2 to 1 bave been of
fered; and street gossip says that (10,000
of Mitchell money is seeking takers,
' though not at the odds mentioned. At
the Portland club it is said that there
has not yet been any considerable bet
ting, but that the. going odds are about
.10 to 7. A prominent business man has
postecl at the club an offer to bet $1,000
to 1700 that Mitchell faction wins. Most
people who wish to risk their money on
the result of the primaries are anxious
to wait until they can get more accurate
information taan is obtainable now. .
j. One element of extreme uncertainty Is
the Democratic vote. . Jt Is known that
many Democrats expect to vote the
Simon ticket, despite the strong opposi
tion of their party leaders to any inter
ference in the Republican fight Several
of the precincts carried by the Mitchell
faction two years ago were carried by
extremely small majorities, in . some
carse by only two votes. Even a small
number of Democratic votes In these
close precincts might change the result,

TGHELLITES WIN
cinct Simon Republicans were very in
dignant when they learned of the regis
tration of the prisoners, seeing in it a
scheme to carry the precinct by fraudu
lent means. . The precinct is a clone
one. and In 1902 It gave the Mitchell
delegates majorities ranging from 2 to
4 votes. The votes of the 12 prisoners
who were registered, if cast for the
Mitchell ticket, might give it a majority,
although the Simon Republicans claim
that they have a majority of the legiti
mate voters of the precinct
To forestall such a result, suit Is to be
filed to enjoin Sheriff Storey and Jailer
Jackson from permitting the prisoners
to vote at : the primaries. Chairman
Charles H. Carey of the Mitchell execu
tive committee and United States Mar
shal "Jack" Matthews, one of the most
active . workers of that faction, will
also be made defendants, on the. ground
that they are parties to th alleged con'
spiracy. :,-
"We shall ask: for an Injunction re
straining Storey, Jackson,' Judge Carey
and 'Jack' Matthews from voting these
prisoners," said a prominent Simon Re
publican this morning. "Carey and
Matthews will be joined as defendants
for the reason that they are the man
agers, promoters and organisers of the
Mitchell campaign and because we have
found that there was a conspiracy be
tween ' them and ' the other defendants
named to vote-those jailbirds. While
ordinarily a court of equity would not
interfere to restrain a man from voting,
we feci confident that it will do so where
the case is so flagrant as It is in this
instance.
"Under the constitution of this state
none of these prisoners has a right to
vote In the Eighteenth precinct They
cannot acquire a residence there ty
reason of their confinement In the jail.
It 1s an outrage to attempt to nullify
the votes of legal voters by ringing in
these ' men who have been convicted of
all sorts of offenses and who have no
right to go to the polls.
"The suit will not be brought until
the call for the Republican county con
vention Iras been issued that will prob
ably be next Wednesday. The com
plainant will be some Simon Republican
who is a candidate for delegats to the
convention. .
Judge Carey discussed the threatened
suit as follows: .
Such a suit is ridiculous and unneces
sary. There will be no attempt on the
part of the Mitchell organisation to vote
the county prisoners or any other per
sons who are not honestly entitled to
vote. I am not conducting the RepubH
can campaign by such methods, and If
the Republican party cannot succeed at
the polls without using 'such means It
ought to fall. The Slmonites are mak
ing political capital out of the epi
sode of the registration of the prisoners,
but It Is preposterous to talk Of bring'
ing an Injunction suit The occurrence
was one of those unfortunate things
that may happen at any time In a po
litical campaign through the mistaken
seal of political partisans. If any men
were registered from ths county jail who
had no right to vote, I know nothing of it
except what I have seen In the newspa-
pers. You may assure ypur readers
that with or without an injunction from
the (courts, the Republican management
will not attempt to use the votes of any
persons who are not legally and honest
ly entitled, to vote.
"I have always been very much op
posed to the methods heretofore used
under the Simon ring control of Multno
mah county politics. I know that In
former years such scandalous practices
were made use of. but when I agreed
with Senator Mitchell that I would take
charge of the campaign In his behalf,
I determined that I would make & square
and honest fight without the use of per
sonalities or fraudulent methods, and
would stand upon the honorable record
which has been made by the Republi
can administration in the city and coun
ty, and by Senator Mitchell at Washing
ton. I think the Republican administra
tion Is entitled to the support of the
party, on Its record, and that there is
no excuse for the Independent movement
engineered by ex-Senator Simon. I am
not surprised at the- threat of an In
junction suit, designed to mske a sen
sation. It Is mere political talk and
nothing else."
WILL NOT ATTEMPT
TO LAUNCH VESSEL
Shortly after midnight the steamer
Alliance reached port from San Fran
cisco by way of Coos bay. ' She brought
a cargo of shingles, redwood, doors and
general merchandise comprising about
700 tons.
Captain Hardwlck reports that it will
be almost Impossible to launch the
steamer Fulton, which went on the
beach a short time ago at Port Orford,
until May or June. The vessel is ex
posed to the southerly winds, and until
they get around to the northwest the
captain states it is a waste of time to
attempt to float her. He reports that the
Fulton is lying in an easy position, and
he does not believe she will suffer any
further damage than has already been
done.
The latest news from down the coast
is that the marine engineers on the
steam schooners operating from San
Francisco have gone on a strike. While
the vessels are lying In the harbor the
engineers demand that they be paid $1
an hour for all overtime. A number of
the steam schooners have been affected
by the strike, among them the Robert
Dollar. It appears that the Aberdeen
and Prentiss are not yet mixed In the
difficulty, as word has been received by
the local agent that they will sail for
Portland tonight. -

Oscar Vogel, the young German wh
mysteriously, disappeared from Portland
last Friday, after stating he was going

any information been obtained as to his
whereabouts. .; V ..
It Is now considered , doubtful, how
ever, by his acquaintances in Portland
that he has been fouljy dealt with as at
first was supposed. .
Vogel told several people whom he
met in Portland that he had come here
directly from near Falrvlew. where he
had been hired as a sheep herder f or'the
past 18 months. He said his employer
was very kind, providing him with over
alls and his shoes, so that he might put
away all of his wages, 140 a month, for
the English education he was so anxious
to secure. Upon coming here, he went
to Dr, Kdgat P. Hill, to whom he" told
this story, adding that he was without
funds, as he, being a stranger, could
not yet get his money from the bank.
Dr," Hill gave him a small amount, and
advised him to go to the Y. M. C A.
to obtain a boarding place from their list
of rooms. This he did, and went to the
residence of Mrs. Bennet on - Fourth
street where he had dinner that night
and then left for the bunk to get his
money. It has been ascertained that he
also borrowed small sums of money
from several people in town.

his money was deposited, said to a

small amounts from me and from other
people. He never deposited the 1600.
"Last summer he went up to Poca-

soma time. His mother wrote to find
out about him, saying he had not writ

found he had got into trouble there for

in jail. That was the last I had heard
of him until just now. He was 23 years
old and a foolish sort of a boy. I thought
he was not Just right In his head." ,
TEN PER CENT OF
DEATHS VIOLENT
The February report of City Health
Commissioner Blersdorf, issued" today,
shows that there were 10 violent deaths
during that short month of but -29
days. ,. All but one Were suicides. .Three
were from carbolic acid and one by
strychnine poisoning, three were from
gun shot wounds, two were from drown
ing and one from fracture of the skull.
This is a most unusually large number
of accidental and suicidal deaths, being
just 10 per cent of the total death list
for the month.
Of the 100 deaths 66 were made and
44 females. There were 24 deaths from
contagious diseases, including 11 from
tuberculosis, five from senile decay and
threo .from cancer. .
The number of births was 161, 61
above the death list. There were Tt
boys and 73 girls, 149 being whits and
two Chinese. .. .
Even in the shadow of the great Joss
a Chinaman died during February. There
were no deaths at the home of the Boys'
and Girls' Aid society, the home for the
aged at Sunnyslde or the county hos
pital. Contagious diseases to the number of
137 were reported, but nearly all -were
mild in form.
Health Commissioner Blersdorf wss
hot after people who have been in the
habit of allowing their yards to become
filthy with the accumulation of garbage.
Forty such families were notified to
clean up their yards and compiled with
the order.
Plumbing Inspector Hulm also sub
mitted his report, showing that he in
spected ft new buildings during Feb
ruary and SO old buildings with new
fixtures. Nineteen places were found
where the plumbing was defective and
in these cases remodeling was ordered.
MADE NO PROVISION
FOR THE SIGNATURES
When the legislature passed the bills
for the $400,000 Issue of Morrison street
bridge bonds and the 660,000 issue for
the Alblna ferry the members overlooked
the fact that thousands of signatures
would be necessary, and made no pro
vision for the names of Mayor Williams
and City Auditor Thomas C. Devlin to
be lithographed when the forms were
made. Therefore it became necessary
for a special stamp to be made for the
purpose, as the mayor and auditor could
scarcely take the time to wrlto their
names 27,460 times.
At first the question ss to the validity
of the signatures of the two .officials
by stamp was brought up, but City At
torney McNary soon settled that by as
certaining that that had been passed
upon by the United States supreme
court. 1 Then the stamp was ordered and
will be ready when the bonds come from
the presses of the Schwab Printing com
pany. It is thought the delivery of the
bonds -to the buyers will take place
within a week, but tt may take longer
to complete the necessary legal papers.
The city auditor will have the bonds
stamped, so that Mayor Williams will
not have to be troubled about it. The
proceedings of the leglHlature on the
bond Issues is being prepared and Will
be sent to Judge Dillon- In New York at
his request.

- A succession of storms and galea is

night from Neweastle-on-Tyne by way
of Port Los Angeles. Two months were
consumed in rounding Cap Horn, and
during that time some of the principal

and crew were obliged to wafie around

rigging is all that prevented them from
being swept overboard.
The delays experienced were sufficient
to lengthen out the voyage to .207 days
to Port Los Angeles. This is about 60
dsys longer than Is usually required to
make the trip. Before the horn was
reached a foresail, several topsails, gal

If you stomach is all rlaht. you are
all right Why are growing boys nearly
always healthy? Because they have not
abused their stomachs by excessive eat
ing and drinking and weakened or de
stroyed the, function of that organ. Be
cause they eat what Nature demands
of good, wholesome food and then take
plenty of exercise and run and romp
and help out in the process of diges
tion and keep their stomachs strong
and well. The same Is true of men who
lead active outdoor lives and en rare In
physical activity.- Their digestion is
perfect, the food nutriment is properly
assimilated, the blood Is pure and
healthy and you seldom hear of them
being affected with headache, backache.

"NOT" INSERTED
FREES PRISONER
Though an Information charging
Oeorge Noe with larceny from a dwell
ing was filed in the stat circuit court by
Arthur C. Spencer, the assistant district
attorney, 'on March 4, the man was re
leased on th following day. In investi
gating the cause of this procedure the
officials have discovered thatome per
son placed the word "not" before the
words "a . true bill." endorsed on the
back of th information. By whom this
was don has not been discovered. Dis
trict Attorney Manning. Assistant At
torney Spencer and all the clerks in the
stat circuit court deny knowledge of
th change. That it wa due to design
there , seems no doubt Inasmuch as th
"not'A Is .written in blacker Ink than th
words it precedes? though th handwrit
ing is much the time, . ;
"When I brought the information up
to Judge Cleland's department it was
marked "a true" bill,"- said 8pencer.
"When and where the word "not", ws
added is something I cannot explain."
Certain it is that when the information
reached the hands of Clerk Marion R.
Johnson, after leaving Judge Cleleand's
department, the word "not" was there.
"Ths document was marked 'not a true
bill when it reached my desk," said
Clerk Johnson.
"I had several other Informations and
true bills on hand and was busy with a
multiplicity of other things, or It is
likely I should hav detected th differ
ence in the quality of ink used. Not a
mark was placed on th information
after it reached hers."
After Johnson finished his part of th
records th document, with others, was
turned over to Mis Phillips, another
elerk, in whose possession it remained
until the Investigation begaa
"I did not put a word on th Infor
mation," said Miss Phillips. "It. reached
me in the condition in which it is now."
Spencer sought Thomas Dill, counsel
for Noe,. this morning, and found that
his copy of the information is Indorsed,
"a true bill.'! Attorney Dill declare
he has no knowledge of how th word
"not" was placed on th information. '
As Clerk Johnson wa so far behind
In his work, owing to th large volume
of.' business transacted ; at the court
house in the last few day, h did not
get the order of release on the bogus
"not a true bill," signed by Judge Cle
land, until Saturday, when it was pre
sented to Jailer Jackson and No was
released. On complaint C-f Spencer the
man was again arrested.' He was ar
raigned before Judge Clelahd this morn

and become sound and well. They act
In a mild, natural manner and cause no
disturbance in the digestive or sans.
They prevent any fermentation of . the
food which causes sour stomach. '
Stuart's Pyspepsia Tablets instill
health into every, part of- the human
body. They compel perfect digestion of
the food and perfect assimilation of the
food nutriment. Every organ and part
of the body is kept in repair and good
health necessarily results. At the same
time the stomach, being relieved of the -work
of digestion, gets well and strong.
A prominent Detroit physician says:
"I prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
for all cases of stomach trouble. I
have tried many prescriptions, including
a number of my own, but. find nothing
that gives such universal relief as this'
remedy. They are natural, harmless
and thoroughly effective in their work,
and while I have a natural antipathy to
patent medicines, I do not hesitate to
prescribe and recommend Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets on all occasions."
The above is no exception. The' best
physicians are prescribing them all over
the land. They can be had of any drug
gist for 50 cents a box. and if your own
doctor is real honest with you, he will,
tell you frankly that there is nothing
on earth so good for dyspepsia as Stu-i
art's Dyspepsia Tablets. , . .
