; Oregon City, March 18. -The Demo
crats' here feel quite encouraged over
their prospects in the coming election
and are confident of landing a number
of their candidates this year. There
,.1iae been little or no talk' of probable
v 'candidates and who will run for the po
sitions Is not known. But one thing Is
quite evident, .and "tkat la the interest
in the party and its acknowledged
strength.: The gathering on Wednesday
night is an example that the party. s
. uniting In ' sentiment - and '. there is a
toal absence of any, personal strife
among the rank and Ale of the Democ
' 'racy. , ..."-
O. D; Eby, the president of ,the Thomas
Jefferson club, said yesterday that , tne
Democrats have every reason for en
... couragement. ,
"You take, for Instance," he said, "the
meeting of last night. There were twice
as many out as I expected, and they were
all . enthusiastic over ; the prospects of
the party. , We will certainly elect some
of bur officers at the next election, and
it would not surprise me If we made a
clean sweep of the ticket Our men will
- be good, square fellows, and we will get
a number of the Republican votes, too,"
, , Mr, Eby is , beginning to- hear ,f rom
: the petitions that were circulated, not
long ago throughout the county for
membership to the Thomas Jefferson
Democratic club. He is in receipt of
a petition from Eagle creek that con
tains 70 names, and also one from Gar
Held that has 10 names. These are the
first two petitions for membership to be
received in answer to the circulars and
will swell the list of members to about
SOO. ;Mr. Eby thinks the total member
ship of the club will be over 600 when
reports come in from the other pre
clncts. ' .
Mr. Eby has just completed a list of
j vice-presidents that are tq be appointed
.by.bim to act In that capacity for the
club In their precincts. Some of the
vice-preBidents have not leen appointed
yet, but they soon will be. The names

Vancouver, Wash., March 18. The obr
servation of St Patrick's day in Van
couver yesterday and last hight could
K not haVe been more complete had the
town bean located in the heart of Ire
land. Each fraternal and social organ--

The-festivities given by the Elks
climaxed, any of the same nature ever
given in Vancouver, ana1 consisted of
the most fashionable ball and banquet
1 The popularity of the Elks' entertain?
menta made it necessary for the order
to limit the number of invitations.
,Even then there were 250 couples pres-
ent including a number of represen
tative Elks from Portland, The Dalles,
t Seattle, and Spokane, as well as all the
other adjoining towns where the order
'has an organisation. . ' "
The ball commenced at o'clock
promptly with a grand march to the
tune of "The Elks' March." by Parsons'
orchestra of Portland. The hall was
nicely decorated In lodge colors -with
ribbons and electric lights.
Eagles Smoke.
The celebration by - the Eagles was
, of an entirely different nature, but none
the leas enthusiastic and gay. It was
the regular meeting night for Columbia
Aerte. and the hall was thrown opento"t
' all Eagles a grand smoxer. xnere
was a large number of representatives
from Portland, who chartered cars for
the express purpose. The attendance
numbered about -.300.; .The ceremonies
opened with a short address from the
Worthy President Hopkins, followed by
' appropriate remarks by Senator Rands.
' The evening was then epetat in im-
promptu1 musical and literary selections
rendered by members of the order, as
well as several athletio exhibitions and
feastinir.i : . ' .
" One of the most exciting and pleasing
incidents was a four-round boxing con
test fora decision between two Eaglets,
' Clifford .'Weaver, Impersonating Spider
Kelly ot Portland. 'and Harry Masorets
sky as Jimmy Brltt of 'Frisco. The
. Eaglets weighed m at is pounas eacw,
ages 7 to 8 years respectively. The de
clslon went to the Masoretssky child.
This exhibition was then followed by
another four-round glove contest be
tween Eddie Maioretxky as Billy Riley,
. of Seattle and Arwell Weaver as the
"Terrlble; Swede',', from Alblna, . The
children weighed In at 6a pounas, ana
the flghtvwas one of the most evenly
and cleverly fought that has been wit
nessed in Vancouver for many a. day.

Vv Two Boys Tree of Quilt
The case of the two boys, Fred Shack
and Charles Jones of Fulton, who were
arrested, the other day on suspicion of
being Implicated in the looting" of the
Oswego postofflce, was heard this morn
ing before Judge 8tipp. After some
questioning by Deputy District Attorney
J. U. Campbell It. was clearly seen that
the boys had nothing to do with : the
case, and they were dismissed. They
were found ; with a quantity . of trade
checks bearing the ' stamp of G. W.
Prosser, and it was this fact that led
to their arrest. They said that they
found the checks on the railroad track,
and this seems to Indicate that , the
thief is in Portland. , ,
Strikers Heaa Business.
V' The strike that started some weeks
ago in the Courier office Is now taking
a definite form and the trades . unions
of the city are lending aid to the strik
ers in the form of a substantial support.
A committee : of the carpenters and
painters' union- met: night before last
and decided to help the typographical
union by withdrawing their patronage
from the paper and from- the merchants
who advertise with the Courier . unless
the advertisements are taken out J. H.
Westover, of the Courier, is inclined to
think that the action is a bluff on the
part of the union people, but the unions
of the city say the mean business. .
'It is reported that all the merchants
have signified their intention of taking
out their advertisements. . It is defi
nitely understood the Huntley brothers
and Frank Bush will,' as they said as
much ' yesterday morning' when asked.
There is little excitement over- the sit
uation, which may yet be settled to
the entire satisfaction of all concerned.
Danoe Well Attended.
.' The dance in the armory was largely
attended last night and the attendants
had a most enjoyable . time. The ball
was a fancy dress afrair, and the cos
tumes of the dancers' were?erpretty
and in some cases very- comical. The
ball room was very tastefully decorated
in IrlshPcolors In honor of St- Patrick
and the musicians played some lively
Irish airs (that made the dance all the
merrier. - . , - ;.-....,:'" . ,

. The horses are to be of the same gen
eral requirements as those selected for
cavalry service by the United , States
government, except as to color, and no
line will be drawn on color. Anything
that has four sound legs, a strong, bacK
and nerve enough to carry a 120-pound
Jap Will be acceptable, according to the
inquiries made In this city,
As the country has been scoured over
thoroughly by the United States gov
ernment within the past year, horsemen
doubt very much, that any large pro
portion of this consignment of cavalry
horses will be found in either eastern
Oregon - or Washington.
The prices of horses are higher this
year by 10 per cent than last year, and
while It would be possible to secure a
large number of 1,000 to 1,100 pound
horses, without any restriction on color,
the regulation cavalry horse, as pur
chased by the United States govern
ment, Is scarce.
The prices of such horses as tha Jan
anese government desires would range
from $40 to $70 per head In eastern Ore
gon at this time.

TOOK A STRAW VOT&
Interesting experiment la a Beataarant
An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York -magazine, while
on a recent western trip, waa dining
one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the ad
vertisement of a well-known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets; as he himself was a regular user
of the tablets, he began speculating as
to how many of tha other traveling men
in the dining-room were also friends of
the popular remedy for indigestion.
- He says: I counted twenty-three men
at the tables and In the hotel office 1
took the trouble, to Interview them and
was surprised to learn that nine oft the
twenty-three made a practice of taking
one or two of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit the
road, but' since using Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets had been entirely free from
indigestion, but he continued their use,
especially while traveling, on account
of irregularity' in meals and because,
like all traveling men, he was often
obliged to eat what he could get and not
always what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate a meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward, be
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased without fear of a sleep

young girl of 18, and a chill of nine or

peared pinched for lack of food. .
"Erda, how n . your the young
girl cried. "Why should we employ a

suspicion flashed across her face, anger

"A little of the money yon have ex

will you pay back the money- when will
you pay back tha money? It is the
Question which, la always being dinned

Two bltter-teara crept Into the elder

that I had asked you so often," she said
gently. "The time seems so much long

Tears crept Into her own blue eves.

Janet, quietly, "neither for our sakes,
