(" terday, took place today at the family
residence, and the remains 'were laid
' to rest in the Odd' Fellows cemetery,
Oregon has half a legislature in good
working order, but the other half has
' ' balked. Too many candidates for
' speaker, and a contested election case
J ' from Coos county are the causes of the
S hitch.

. The deadlock in the organization of
the house of representatives bodes no
good for Senator Mitchell. The bit
terness that is engendered over the
speakership fight will be difficult to
; quell, and it will no ' doubt be carried
into the senatorial contest.
The matter of securing a diamond
drill to prospect for coal seems to be

the lack of proper appliances that will
cost only a few hundred dollars.

- The contest for speakership is so bit
ter that it will probably delay perma
nent organization for some time. The
"republican members are unable to' de

in a decided minority, are keeping
their hands off the fight.

WANTS HACK ON THE GKASS.
Coxcy Flan to Reorganize the Common
weal Armyliwnea Another Call.
The most important feature of the
proceedings of the commonweal con
ference at St.' Louis' that closed its
session last Wedneeday, was the reso
lution of J. S. Coxey calling for a sec
ond assembling of the unemployed
workmen all over the country for the
purpose of making such a demonstra
tion as shall appeal to the legislative
branches, not only of congress, but of
every state, in the hope of inducing
legislation that will ameliorate the
condition of - the workingmen. In
short. General Coxey's resolution is a
revival of the agitation of a couple of
years ago, which resulted in the fa'
mous march of the commonweal army
to Washington."
The resolution, which is destined to
become as famous as Coxey's first proc
lamation, calls upon the unemployed
workingmen of every city and hamlet
in the United States to assemble on the
public square or other public . place on
February 22, Washington's birthday,
in open mass meeting. .. ; '
. Tho purpose of these meetings is to
demonstrate in the most practical
manner the extent of distress and des
titution prevalent throughout the
country by. reason of the scarcity of
work-. This, it is argued, will be the
most forcible object lesson that could
be devised, and, General Coxey be
lieves, will force legislation looking to
the amelioration, of the condition of
the workiugman that otherwise could
not be secured as expeditiously as de
sired. ....
It is the intention to register each
unemployed workingman in every city
and town and to forward these records
to" ibeltou'oialob'ead ' of legislation at.
Washington with unremitting regular
ity until some concerted action is taken
by congress- to 'improve the condition
of labor and bring about such' reforms
in 'existing laws as will restore the
prosperity of the nation.

after 1 o'clock this morning. Two
thieves gained entrance into the sleep
ing apartments of Mrs. Obar. proprie
tor of the hotel, by prying the door
open with a cbisol.and took from under
her pillow $130, all c.f which was gold
except one V-Q bill.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Obar bad
drawn the money out of the bank for
purpose of paying somo bills, and hav
ing no safe in the house, had put the
money under her pillow when she re
tired. About 1:15 in the morning she
was awakened, and realized that some
one was in her room, but was so badly
frightened that she could not give an
alarm. While one of the robbers stood
at the door, the other went to her bed,
took the money from under her pillow,
then both departed without making
any disturbance. Mrs. Obar's room
is on the ground floor, and the door
through which the thieves -entered
opens into the ball, in which a bright
light was burning at the time of the
robbery, but no one was stirring in the
house or on the street at the time,
hence the robbers escaped unobserved
except by the lady whom they robbed.
As soon as Mrs. Obar recovered
from her fright she called up
'Nigbtwatchman Wiley and Deputy
Sheriff Kelly, but the thieves had
made good their escape before the
officers arrived on the scene. Neither
of the robbers were masked, and they
are described as being low, heavy set
men. Fu-ther than this Mrs. Obar
was unable to give a description that
would lead to their identity.

All the Shooting- Irons In PorTallta Sold
And Blore Coming.
The next footpad who attempts to
hold up a Corvallisite is just as good as
dead. The masked battery that he
will uncover when he sings out "throw
up your hands," will be terrific enough
to send shivers up the back of a Cuban
insurgent, accustomed to such things,
says the Times. ' He will tackle his
man expecting of course, to pluck him
or-his diamonds, jewelry and gold, but
he will get instead, dose after dose .of
cold lead, pumped into his carcass out
of a bran new shooting iron, wielded
by the nervous hand of a desperate
Corvallisite, reckless of human gore.'
All this is known because most of
our young men and old men too, now
go armed. They became walking ar
senals right after the two hold-ups re
ported last week. Those 'who had
weapons have cleaned off the' rust and
put in new loads, and those who hadn't
a shooting irsn have bought new ones.
"I never in my life had such a trade
in revolvers as since the hold-up,
said a dealer in firearms yesterday.
"Everything I had in the store that
would shoot has been sold, and I could
haye sold several more if my stock had
held out.' He has ordered a new sup
ply from adroai. After the new stock
arrives more back trouser poqkets will
bulge out with bottled danger, and
thus we glide. If the supply of foot
pads hold out, and the "old, well-armed
guard," don't forget and throw up its
hands instead of bringing the battery
into action, the starting of a new grave
yard for dead footpads may become a
eessity.

C. F. Baker, an alleged real estate
dealer, was arrested in Portland yes

the name of F. A. Seufert of this city
to a check for $200. Baker presented
tbe check to A. B. Steinbach & Co. in
payment for goods amounting to $56,
and was paid besides $50 with promise
that the balance would be paid when

; "TIiy Are the People." '
The legislators of Oregon and Wash
ington are now in session, and for tbe
time being " "they ' are the people."
The day is not far distant, though, be
fore many of them, like their predecas
bors, will for obvious reasons wish they
bad ' never seen the respective state
houses. Of course they will all re
member some pleasant features con
nected with the service of their con
stituents, such as free entertainment,
passes, etc.; but between the "pull" of
tbe office seeker, the fine and coarse
work of the lobby, member and the
thousand and .one vexations, many
will get enough of the "good thing."
-But the citizens who spend this same
season their time and money traveling,
and who use the Wisconsin Central
lines between St. Paul or Minneapolis
and Chicago or Milwaukee will be sub
ject to no such annoyances. They will
get the best service on earth and a
square meal at reasonable cost. For
particulars address Geo. S. Batty,
Gen'l Agent, 246 Stark St., Portland.
Or.; or call on your nearest ticket
agent. .

Attorney-General ldleman Bhowa'
be Baa Done for the State.
Attorney-General CM. Idlenian has
prepared and submitted a' biennial re:
port to the governor concerning' the
business that has come under his Im
mediate supervision during the' two
yearsending Jan. il. The report is
an elaborate one', 8howfog"the number
of cases tried and the disposition made
: of each case. The cases are described
in the report as followsr :.
Id the United Etates district court. . 1
In the United States circuit court. . . 1
In the U. S. land department. , 1
In the supreme court of tbe state of
Oregon 39
In the circuit court of the state of
Oregon 1
Total J .". 43
For trying these 43 cases the state
has paid Mr. ldleman $6,000. Whether
it has received just compensation for
the amount expended is a question for
the legislature to determine, when it
comes to consider tbe advisability of
dispensing with the office of attorney-
general. -'Certainly Mr. ldleman has
not been overworked during, the past
two years, notwithstanding he has been
pretty well paid. .;

Forty-Three Republicans and pne ,Popn-
' list Bad a Meetlnr at tale a.
The caucus held in Salem last night
to decide who should be elected U. S.
senator was anything but a success, as
its actions were not binding, upon the
members who participated.. Forty?
three republicans and k on .populist,
Nosier, whose seat in thu house is1 con
tested, participated in the caucus, and
John H. Mitchell was speedily declared
the unanimous choice of those present
for senator.' But as there was not a
majority of the members of the legisla
ture present at the meeting, it Ib doubt
ful if the action of the caucus-' has ad'
ded anything , to Senator Mitchell's
chances. The Salem Statesman gives
this account of the ballot in the caucus:
; "As the roll was called each man ex
pressed his choice and one ballot was
all that was necessary. -"Forty-four
men answered as their names' were
called and each and every response
was John H. Mitchell. It wis har
monious. Senator Mitchell . received
the forty-seven votes and was declared
the nominee of the caucus he baving
received the largest number - of votes
ever cast in Oregon for any candidate
for United States senator at' a caucus.
The caucus was presided over by Sen
ator Hughes of Washington county.
