Keader, did you ever take Simmons
Liveb : Regulator, the; "Kino- of
Lives Medicines?" Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
; the bqdy and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling, is due to a
: torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole sys
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is better than Pills. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
; refreshes and strengthens. .

TELLER IS THE NOMINEE
McKinley's Financial Views
Are Conflicting.
St. fjouia, June 0. Politiciane, great,
and Bmnl, black and .white, and all the
intermediate ehades of complexion, from
all over the Union, are swarming into
this city tonight. For the last week
they have been dropping in at odd inter
vals by ones and twos, bat now they are
coming by the carload, and it will be a
week before all have arrived. Although
it in almost a week until the convention
will be ' called to order, there is a vast
amount of preliminary work to be done.
There are ecoks of centosts to be decided
before the national committee, which
meets tomorrow, and there is much
routine work to be done.
; There is already considerable discus
sion among delegates and party leaders
who . have arrived as to the probable
course to be pursued on the financial
question, and it is believed this question
win receive more attention than any
other in the committees and among dele
gates generally.
The possibility of a bolt by the free
silver delegates in case of the incorpora
tion of a phnk in the Dlatform which
Ihey will construe as unfriendly to silver
is mecaseeu ireeiy in toe Hotel lobbies,
and by none more so than by the silver
men' themselves, ' of whom there are
already several in the city. There has
been no general conference among them,
however, and will not be until the arrival
of Senators Teller, Dubois, Cannon and
others, who are not expected till the
latter part of .this week or , the first of
next. It is gathered from those who are
already here that the disposition to bolt
the convention is confined to but very
few.
One of the most prominent of the sil
ver delegates said tonight that the men
from the West ft It that they had been
elected by republican constituencies to
meet in convention and do all they could
for silver, but that they were not auth
orized to bolt if they found themselves in
a minority, and tbe more they conferred
the more general was the opinion tbat
they should stand by the republican
organization.
Among Ihe republicans of the West
the name of M. H. De Young, member of
the national committee from California,
and an advocate of free silver, is men
tioned for the vice-presidency. When
Mr. DeYonng was asked for an expres
sion of his views as to the course of the
silver men, he said:
'The delegates from the silver states
are very determined a in their desire to
advance the interests of silver. , They
want the right to have free coinage of
silver at IS to 1. : Some of them are very
radical, and talk ' about leaving the con
vention in case their views are not
adopted. This action will not be general.
It is generally known that Colorado,
under the leadership of Teller, proposes
to walk out of the convention. The Cali
fornia delegation has been instructed for
McKinley, and the convention adopted
a resolution for the free coinage of silver,
But our delegation does not intend to
leave the party or convention in case of a
failure of tbat nature. The men, espec
ially of Colorado, Montana and other
states, think that, if Teller would be
nominated by the democratic party in
Chicago, there would be no question of
his endorsement by the two conventions
that meet in St. Louis July 22 that is,
the silver party convention and the pop
ulist convention. In fact, it is an under
standing already made and agreed that
both conventions will indorse tbe nomin
ation of ' Teller. If Teller is nominated
by these three parties my private opin
ion is tbat be will come very near being
elected.
"There is one serious question,
though, to the whole ot this proposition :
Will the democratic party take a man
out of the republican national conven
tion and mako him tbe standard beaier
of the democratic party ? The impres
sion among leading democrats is tbat
they will not do it. I think if Teller
leaves tbe convention, Montana and
Idaho will fellow. Utah, as a whole
will not. There may be one cf their
delegates tbat will. Nevada is just as
anxious for free silver as any of the
other states. While I do not know what
their delegates propoee to do, they can
be depended upon to do everything that
lies in their power to advance the inter
ests of silver."
"What will be the probable programme
in the national convention of tbe silver
men?" was asked, to which Mr. De
Young replied :
"The members cl tbe platform com
mittee will offer an unlimited silver
coinage plank, and if rejected by that
committee, when tbe committee makes
their report to tbe convention, Senator
Teller will probably be the one to offer
in the open convention a substitute for
the plank reported by the committee, in
tbe shape of one favoring the unlimited
coinage of silver. Tbey then will insist
on a rollcall on tbs substitute, and if de
feated they will walk out c the conven
tion." Colonel Isaac Trombo, one of the free
silver delegates from Utah, (aid, when
asked if silver men would bolt ; .
"This is a matter for farther consider
ation. Thus far we have believed
could fight the matter within par party
lines, but if we fail we may be compelled
to adopt some other course nut of self
protection." A Chinese Wedding.
Monday was a red letter day for Walla
Walla Celestials. It inaugurated a sys
tem for the increase of the Mongol pop
nlation in that city which is not provided
against In tbe Geary act.
By tbe assietaoe of interpreter, a mar
riage license was made out by Auditor
Crocker to Wong Mow and Soon Gow
who had decided to nnite the euphonious
names in one. After the license was
proenred the wedding party went to the
matrimonial office of the well known and
affable Father Ean, who solmnly pro
nounced ih wadding ceremony, the in
terpret-r repeating tbo vows to th con
tracting parties jn Cbir.efe, to nhicn
they smilingly nodded assent; Th! bride
was gaudily attirt'd in cosily silks and
her hair was adorned wiih many guy
ribbons. The groom was very grave and
stolid during the ceremony, but the
bride appeared highly amused, and at
times had to suppress her laughter by
a large silk handkerchief to her mouth.
Tbe groom is 36 snd the bride 84 and
both came from Spokane a few weeks
ago.
If it required an annual outlay of $100
to insure a family against any serious
consequences from an attack of bowel
complaint during the year there are
many who wonld feel it their duty to pay
it ; that they could not afford to risk their
lives, and those of their family for such
an amount. Any one can get -this in
surance for 25 cents, that being the price
of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In al
most every neighborhood some one has
died from an attack of bowel complaint
before medicine could be proenred or a
physician summoned. One or two doses
of this remedy will cure any ordinary
cane. It never fails. Can you afford to
take tbe risk for so small an amount?

OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN.
Insurance on the Building is

Walla Walla, June 81 The large ele
vator of tbe Tacoma warehouse was 'de
stroyed by fire at 1 o'clock this morning.
One thousand 8 hundred sacks of wheat
belonging to Dement Bros., and a car
load of flour owned by Gilbert & Co.,
stored la the warehouse were a total loss.
The elevator was valued at $10,000 with
$4,000 insurance. The fire was of an in
cendiary nature. A few days ago notices
were posted about town that if the peo

ELECTION OF StNATORS.
Mitchell Would Have Them Eleeted by
Vote of the People
When Mitchell called up bis bill for
tbe election of senators by direct vote of
tbe people, he argued that the reform
would do away with the pool room de
bauchery of the primaries, eliminate the
influence of the local bosses, minimize
the influence a wealth, create a closer
relation between the senate and the peo
ple and overcome the sentiment of mon
archy and aristocracy of tbe present sys
tem. Tbe measure was supported by
Ferkinp, Chandler declared the election
ot senators by the people to be a conces
sion to populist tendencies.
Palmer in responding to tbe sugges
tions of Chandler tbkt he (Palmer) might
not be returned to tbe senate, retorted
that new issues had arisen since his
former election.
"On these issues I have the misfor
tune to differ with the machine cf my
state," declared Palmer. "The machine
has control of other states. The machine
is againet me. I defy the machine, and
whether the machine is stronger than
tho people remains to be seen." . '
Palmer went on to show tbat tbe most
salutary result from the popular election
of senators would be freedom from ma
chine control. Hawley opposed the
change, after which, at the request of
Mitchell, the second Monday of Decem
ber next was fixed for consideration of
the subject.

years, but that he has tried to reach

SHUT OUT OF HOTELS
Negro Delegates at St. Louis
" ' Have a Hard Time.
nOTEL MEN CONDEMNED.
Unless Tents Are Secured Bed
, will Be a Premium.
What shall be done with the colored
delegates or alternates to the national
republican convention? This Is the
question which is puzzling tbe members
of the national committee who have ar
rived in fc't. Louis and tbe Business
Men's League which secured tbe conven
tion, as well.
Every hotel and the boarding bouses
and cafes came out flat looted and de
clared it would not entertain negroes as
guests or customers. Money is no object
Threats of prosecution have had no
effect and from the present outlook it
would seem tbat unless tents are secured
the black men will nave to go hungry
and unhoused. ; . ,: .
"I am thoroughly disgusted' and dis
couraged," said National Committeeman
Judge Long, of Florida, in speaking of
matters. "I have been looking all day
long for a hotel, boarding houao or cafe
that would admit negroes, but I have
been unable to find them. I even went
so far as to try and charter a steamboat,
but when tho owners learned for what
purpose I wanted it they found an excuse
for refusing me the rent of it. It is the
only time in tbe history of the republi
can party where such an embarrassing
predicament has arisen."
When asked what the national com
mittee would do Long replied :
"I have consulted those who are hero
and have decided to offer a resolution as
soon as the committee meets, condemn
ing the hotel and inn keepers and for the
laying aside of a fund for renting a hall
in which cots shall be placed for negroes
who come to the convention. We shall
also request the employment of a corps
of cooks to supply them food."
This trouble has been brewing for
nearly a week. A number of days ago it
wss learned by the business men's
league that some of the leading hotels
.had been cancelling agreements with the
state delegations when the landlords
learned that negro delegates were among
them. It became so apparent tbat tbe
negroes were being discriminated against
that the league issued the following
manifesto: . , . .?
"The Business Men's League when in
Washington securing the convention for
St.' Louis, promised ' that the colored
delegates and members of the national
republican executive committee should
receive tbe same recognition from the
hotels that other delegates receive. With
ibis it was Implied tbat tbe citizens of
St. Louis wonld ask and endeavor to
secure public places, hotels, boarding
houses and bathrooms at least for con
vention week to accord reputable and
respectable colored men who came here
representing their sections and their
people in the republican party such
treatment as any reputable and respect
able person would receive. It is not
believed tbat a great many would want
to accept these privileges, but it will be
very humiliating if one of their colleagues
or should put himself in any public place
ana do retusea admittance, it is hoped
expected and desired by tbe gentlemen
representing tbe citizens who eecured
the convention that all will endeavor to
meet the situation as justice and pro
priety requires."
When tbe hotel men read this thev
were exceedingly wrathful. They said
it was an invitation to the colored dele
gates to prosecute (hem for damages.
They went to the league committee on
hotel accommodations and protested.
A concerted action followed with the
result that negroes cannot find lodging
places, nor even a reputable place to
eat.
CANYON CITY'S FLOOD. !
The Town Almost Swept Away by a
Mountain Torrent.
In the following graphic manner, the
Canyon City News recites tbe story of a
llood which occurred last week at that
place:
"For considerable more than forty
dars and forty nights rain has incessant

For more than two hours Ihe storm
raged on the mountain before it spent its
fury, and about dark tbe rapid rise,
floating debris and extremely muddy
condition of Canyon creek announced
tbe beginning. Before 10 o'clock the
already large volume of water had beeu
increased to twice the amount and it was
spilling over the levees and entering the
streets at a fearful rate. It continued to
rise, bringing down trees and heavy
timbers, and about one o'clock a heavy

wrecked it, and partot it went down

fire bell called those who were sleeping,

tbe treacherous stream would shift its

storms passed over Chicago, accompan

stones fell in some places in this vicinity
so thick they could be taken up v-y the
sbovelfd. After the rain in Hyde, nearly
a peck of shells and gravel were picked
up, ; In one place in tbat suburb small
fish and turtles were found in large num
bers. Of this remarkable cccurrence,
Observer Cox etates that the transplant
ing of fish, shells and water gravel from
their original resting place to points
miles away was due to vacuum whirl

LINCOLN AND WHITMAN.
. . ; . .
They Both Descended from the Same
Family.
Dr. O. W. Nixon, the literary editor of
tbe Inter Ocean and author of "How
Marcus Whitman Saved Oregon,".. has
made another discovery which enables
him to sound tbe praise of the great
missionary who was massacred within
six miles oi where now stands the city of
Walla Walla. In last Saturday's Inter
Ocean he has the following editorial :
"Great interest has recently been taken
in tracing tbe genealogy of Abraham
Lincoln. As he has rightfully taken his
place as one of tbe great ones of the
wor!d, it has been the ambition of many
investigators to traco his biography be
yond the fact that hn was 'a poor boy in
Kentncky, and moved to Indiana in"l818
when ho wss seven years of age.'
Lieutenant Crittenden, in Harper's
Weekly, says:
' If tbe lineage of our great Amoricnn
begins with a 'poor white' we ought to
find that poor white out, and make hint
a known celebrity, for it was one of his
posterity who restored the Federal Union
and made it perpetual."
Mr. Lincoln, in a biography written by
himself, says :
"My father, Thomas, and my grand
father, Abraham, were born in Rocking
ham county, Virginia, whither their an
cestors had come from Berks county,
Pennsylvania. The family originally
were Quakers. The grandfather, Abra
ham, had four brothers Isaac, Jacob,
John and Thomas. These were all born
in Pennsylvania."
Recent genealogists havs fnrther trac
ed tbe family back to Samuel Lincoln,
SMITH, Athena, Oregon.

who came from ,N irfolk (ountv, England
in 1637, and set i d in Halein. Of his
ten children, Mor iecai, the fourth son,
married Sarrah, daughter of Abraham
and Sarah Wbitr. n 'c ,
A correspondent u e Inter Ocean
throws additional light on this by copy
ing from the record as follows :
"Sarah Whitman, eldest child of John
Whitman, of Weymouth, Mass., founder
of the Whitman family, married in 1C83
Abraham, son of Thomas Jones, of Hing
ham, Mass. She died in 1713, leaving
six sons snd one daughter, Sarah Whit
man Jones, and she, Sarah Whitman
Jones, married Modecal, son of Samuel
Lincoln, of Hingham. They left four
children, of whom Modecal was a great-great-grandfather
of President Lincoln."
This genealogy can be more fully trac
ed from the "Annals of John Whitman
of Weymouth," a pounderous volume.
These facts lead to the pleasing fact that
the martyr president, Abraham Lincoln,
and the old hero missionary, Marcus
Whitman, were descendants of tbe same
family. The descendants of both fam
ilies may well claim the" honors. Two
grander names have not figured in Amer

Whitman. -
