LEGISLATIVE
CLERKSHIP
BEING ABUSED
House Not Maintaining Its
Reform Position.
MADE MANY
APPOINTMENTS
No Protests Entered Against Authori
zations A Very Quiet Day in
Both Houses of the Legislature.
Salem, Or., Oct. 4. Outside of
the vote for United States sena
tor, the legislature had a quiet day.
No new business at all came up in the
senate. A good deal was acomplished,
however, in the way of second readings.
One of the more important measures
disposed of provides for a joint com
mittee to sit after the adjournment of
the special session for the purpose of re
vising and codifying the ecbool laws of
Oregon, and present its report at the
regular session. Daly of Benton and
Mulkey of Polk were appointed on the
part of the senate. The purpose of the
committee has the sanction of the retir
ing and incoming superintendents. The
committee is forbidden to incur any ex
pense. Ia the house half a dozen new bills
were introduced. Among these was one
by Curtis of Clatsop, which was made a
special order for Thursday morning, tak
ing from the sheriff the power of desig
nating in what paper notice of sheriff
saleB under execution shall be published
and placing the choice with the judg
ment creditor.
At the beginning of the session the
house set its face sternly against the
committee-clerkship abuse. So uncom
promising was the demand for reform in
this matter that the power of appointing
clerks was taken from the committees
and it was required that all appoint
ments should have the sanction of the
house or be inoperative.
Yesterday a dozen committee clerks
were authorized, and today a ecore, and
not a voice was raised in protest. In
fact, the drift ie so unmistakable toward
allowing all the clerks applied Lfor, and
as many as has been customary, that
one chairman created a ripple of merri
ment by serving notice that he didn't
want any clerk for his committee. The
bouse yesterday restricted the insane
asylum committee to a single clerk, but
today it authorized the committee to
employ expert assistance neceeeary for
the work in hand.
In the bouse the bill to incorporate
Condon, Gilliam county, was passed.
Freeland of Morrow introduced a reso
lution asking the appointment of a joint
committee to investigate the best means
of improving the Columbia river at Ce
lilo. The committee is to report at the
next seseion.
Both bouses adjourned early in the
day till 10 a. m. tomorrow.
LAWLESSNESS
HELD IN CHECK
American and Spanish Commissioners
Now Have Matters Well in Hand
Reign of Terror Ended.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. Both the
American and Spanish evacuation com
missioners have been flooded with ap
peals for protection. The former were
beseeched by the Spanish residents liv
ing between the lines and within the
American lines to gnard their lives and
property from the rapacity of the native
inhabitants who were threatening them
with all sorts of prosecutions, and the
latter were the subjects of the impor
tunities of the rich Porto Eicans within
the Spanish lines, who feared that the
Spanish soldiers, as a last act of cruelty,
would despoil them of their property
and perhaps murder them. Some of
the appeals were both trantic and hys
terical. . Steps were taken to prevent disorder
as far as possible. It was natural that
in the transition from the control of the
Spanish government to a condition of
liberty those who had suffered for gene
rations at the hands of the govern
ing class, should seek vengeance.or that
private individuals shoule seize the op
portunity to obtain redress for private
wrongs.
It was finally arranged that- wherever
the Spaniards in the concentrating
movement evacuated a town or position,
the lines should overlap, that is, that
our troops should enter the town shortly
before the Spanish retired. There was
no hiatus and no opportunity given to
the lawless element.
When ever our troops entered a Span
ish town or position, by the arrange
ments of the commissioners, the com
mander of the Spanish force delivered
an inventory of all the Spanish military
and government property to the com
manding American officer and took the
latter's receipt. This plan obviates the
necessity for sending a commission over
the island to inventory government
properly.
PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperrect Digestion of
Fond.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of cer
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
eiee and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food ; the result of
indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di
gest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay), poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak, and lacking in
red corpuscles ; poisoning the brain and
causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
. Bad digestion irritates the heart, caus
ing palpitation and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetis.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, 'Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
Btomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic
and hydrocloric) and peptogenic pro
ducts; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, is to tale after
each meal one or two of Stuart' Dyspep
sia Tablets, because they supply in a
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, a bright eye and a clear
complexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food weil digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at 50 cents a full sized
package or by mail by enclosing price
to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., but ask
your druggist first.
A little book on stomach troubles
mailed free. Address Stuart Co., Mar
ahall, Mich.

RAPID WORK
FROM THE START
Spanish and American Commissioners
Worked in Perfect Harmony No
Attempt to Delay the Carring Out
of the Terms of the Protocol.
Sax Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 26. The
American commissioners to arrange for
the evacuation of Porto Rico have been
emineLtly successful in their dealings
with the Spanish commissioners, and it
is believed that within three weeks at
the farthest the last of the Spanish
troops will have sailed for home and the
stars and stripes will be unfurled over
San Juan.
Transports are due in a week, and the
indications are that in three weeks at
the most, General Macias will relinquish
control of the last foot of Porto Rican
territory.
A fitting celebration is being arranged
for the occasion ot the flag raising at
San Juan. Both the naval and military
force 8 will participate. It case General
Macias will accept, it is probable that
a dinner or reception will be given in hie
honor by the American commissioners.
The mission of the commissioners has
been accomplished without friction.
More or less trouble was anticipated at
the outset, but our commissioners have
been agreeably surprised at the frank
ness and candor the Spanish commis
sioners have displayed.
The language of the protocol was plain,
definite and specific. It provided for the
immediate evacuation of the island. On
its text our commissioners stood, and to
their gratification they found the Span
ish commissioners not only acquiescent,
but seemingly anxious to retire from the
island at the earliest possible moment.
The Spanish authorities realized that
the entire population had become sud
denly hostile to them ; that they had
been dispossessed by the high court of
war, and that they were there no longer
by right but by sufferance. Accoidingly,
they made every effort to co-operate
with the American to expedite the evac
uation, with the result that the last
Spanish troops will soon have sailed for
Spain.
