I TWO DEMOCRATS GO IN. Bilyeu and Xee In the Mitchell Joint , Assembly. Lark Bilyeu, Democrat, of Lane, oc cupied hia . seat in the house a half hour before the Mitchell joint assem bly which met at noon . Monday. Bil yeu -was writing at hie desk. It had been rumored around the capitol dur ing the morning that it was the pur ,; pose of the Democrats to enter the joint assembly, and Bilyeu's presence ap peared to confirm the report As the hand of the clock moved slowly toward 12, the member from Lane continued . composedly to dip his pen in" the ink and seemed to be oblivious to surround ings and wholly taken up with the work in which he was engaged. . At noon, Chairman Brownell monnt- .-, ed the Speaker's rostrum, and, calling to order, directed the clerk to call the roll. The senators, the same as last Friday, answered to their names. As the olerk was concluding the senate call, Vaughan, the aged representative from Lane, who has been quite sick, appeared in the lobby, supported by ". his wife. He looked pale and very ill,, but he walked slowly to his seat. Just about the same time, Lee, Demo crat, of Polk, likewise appeared at his desk. Bilyeu's name is third on the house roll. When it was called, he arose, ind, addressing the chairman, said: '':. "This is the first time I have made my appearance here in the joint assem bly. , I am here for the purpose of as sisting to complete the organization of the legislature. 'I want it distinctly understood that I am not here in any manner whatever to aid in the recogni tion of the Benson house. I have many -.times stated my position on that sub ject, and I do not believe that its or ganization is legal. "I have been accused of aiding and abetting in holding-up the legislature. I am here to disabuse the mind of any ' one that I occupy that attitude. I in form you that if the legislature is not organized, and at once, 1 . wasn my hands of ' the whole business. . I am tired walking the streets of Salem wait . ing for the majority of this legislature . to get together and do its duty. "The people Who elected me know I am not a fool; or at least they believe so; else they would not have' sent me here. They want me to help organize this ' legislature on a proper basis; and I am here for that purpose. . "I wa"ht to say that many questions have been raised in the senate and else' where relative to the permanent organ- ization that, are not germane to the sub- . jeot. I take it that the temporary or ganization of the house is sufficient for the purpose of this convention. I have all along maintained that the tern porary organization is the only consti tutional organization, and that is where I stand now. The members of this . body, which is made up of members of the leigslature, are not called upon to pass upon that question. The state constitution has nothing to do with this1 joint convention. ' I believe the deci- sions of the United States senate are a sufficient guide for the actions of this body. When a majority of members of j the legislature . declare their choice for United States senator, no power in the universe can set it aside. "We have the power here to deter mine this question of organization. I ask the Republicans to come forward and organize. After this I wash my hands of the whole proposition. I am present." , ' ... The call then proceeded. Lee an swered to his name, but when Merrill of Columbia was reached there was no response.: Twenty-nine members oi the house were found to be present, and ten from the senate thirty-nine in , all, or seven short of a majority. . ' Chairman Brownell then stated that he had received word that ' Merrill ,would not be up till the 2:20 " train. He suggested that a recess till 7:30 in the evening be taken. This was don? . There was no change when the con vention met at night. Bilyeu ' and Lee, Democrats, were in their places, and Merrill, Republican, arrived in tha - afternoon and was also present. Chair man Brownell waited till 7:38 before he called to order. When the name of Vaughan of Lane was reached, Johnson of Linn asked that he be excused on ac- , count of illness. Thirty-nine were present. The conevntion adjourned immediately following the roll call. The Senators. When the senate recohevned on Mon day, McClung ' moved to reconsider the vote of last Friday, ordering the bill fixing the legal rate of interest at 6, per cent to third reading. This was done, and, on motion of McClung, the bill was recommitted to the committee on revision of laws. The following new bills were introduced: ' By Duf ur, by request, enabling school districts to borrow money for a short time without issuing bonds;' King, regulating the employment of legislative clerical aid; Johnson, fixing :, rates of express companies; King, to prevent fraud in sales of mines; Daly, by request, accepting the terms of the aot of congress providing for the re clamation of arid lands; Johnson, fix : ing telegraph rates. A number of bills were read the second time and referred. The Benson House. The Benson house met at 2:30 Monday,-and after reading two unimport ant bills, adjourned. The Davis House. The Davis house met Monday and Immediately adjourned. "'. Firecrackers Caused It. Victoria, B. C, Feb. 11. A boy named Albert Auld was killed through ' the shying of a coal cart horse at fire crackers in Chinatown' this evening. The load was overturned, and crushed Auld's skulL Mayor Bedfern stopped tha firing of crackers in the street. JOINT ASSEMBLY FAILED. The Necessary Forty-Six Votes Could Mot Be Mustered. The joint assembly of the Oregon legislature for the purpose of electing a United States senator at noon Wednes day came to naught. The Mitchell forces could only get forty members to enter it. Seeing that it would be im possible to secure forty-six, the re quired number, a recess was taken un til 7:30 in the evening, but the night session developed no change. Senator Beed tried to get a state ment from Chairman Brownell as to which house was participating in the assembly. Brownell would not say and Beed walked out of the room, leav ing only thirty-nine ; present. Of the Benson house Lake was absent. The sensation of the convention was the aotion of Senator Hasletine, who was considered one of Mitchell's warm est supporters. Hasletine was present when the roll was called. He did not answer to his name, and the chair asked him if he wished to be recorded as present. Haseltine said: "Mr. President, there is no question in my mind as to the illegality of the vote yesterday, and I therefore decline to oome in at present." Han tint ton Withdraw Representative Huntington, of Was co, on Thursday, gave notice that he would withdraw from further participa tion. This is the first defection, and now leaves but thirty-eight members willing to elect a United States senator by means of a joint assembly. After the roll-call Huntington arose and said he'desired to explain his position. He thought the Benson house was legally organized, and accordingly he had voted last Tuesday for a United States senator. He considered it his duty to do so. The joint assembly had now mefe for the third time, the roll had been called and no annoucement of the result had been made from the chair. He had voted for a senator on Tuesday, but his candidate was not that of the bal ance of the organization. This conven tion was being held in the interest of a single candidate.- In view Of the situation he felt it his duty to withdraw. He did not approve of the methods used in preventing the organization of the house or delaying the vote on senator. Bepresentative Lake has introduced in the house a bill to provide for the appointment by the governor of a state veterinary board of five, who Shall ex- amine applicants for license in much the same manner as the medical board. Members of trie board are given per diem, and necessary expenses. Bepresentative Somers has intra duced a bill in the house amending the present law relative to the fencing of railroads. It is designed to make it more convenient for cattle to pass at crossings. Initiative and Beferendum. The following is the text of Senator King's proposed amendment to the con- nuiuuuii mtj initiative mm reiereii- dum: ' "Section 1. The right to approve, reject and repeal state laws, or to re ject or approve proposed state laws, shall rest with a majority of the legal voters of the state. ' "Sec. 2. The right to propose, reject or approve, as the case may be, laws of the state, shall, in addition to being exercised by the legislative assembly, rest with a number of the legal voters of the state equal to (and not less than) 7 per cent of the votes cast at the last preceding general election, held for tha election of the officers of the state and counties. "Sec. 8. After the filing of such petition, the secretary of state shall designate a date for the holding of an, election to -vote thereon,-which shall not be earlier than ten months after the adjournment of 'the last preceding session of the legislative assembly, nor later than one year thereafter; and no law, or proposed law, shall be voted upon at such election unless the peti tion therefor shall have been filed at least ninety days before the date fixed for such election. No election shall be held for such purposes oftener than once in every two years, at which time all bills shall be voted upon that have been petitioned for, and petition filed, within the time required herein. . . "Sec. 4. No act passed by the legis lative assembly shall become a law un til six months after its approval by the governor, except in a case of emer gency, in which event the facts consti tuting the emergency shall be stated in the act and the bill shall receive a two-thirds vote of the members elected to both branches of the legislative as sembly; and within six months after its approval a petition shall have been' filed, as required in. sections 2 and 3 herein, an election shall be ordered as required in section 3 for the accept ance, rejection or approval of such law, or proposed law; and if at such election a majority of the legal votes be in favor of such law, the same shall then (and not before) become of full force and effect, but if less than a majority be in favor thereof, the same shall become void, provided, that if the petition against any law passed by the legisla tive assembly shall have been present ed before the expiration of the six months after the approval of the act by the governor, in the manner herein re quired, such act shall not take effect before the date of such election. 'Sec. 6. The leigslative assembly, or the people of the state of Oregon, in the manner provided, may have .the power to provide by law for more effect ually carrying out all the provisions and intent of this amendment" Senator King's second amendment to the constitution provides for the adop tion of amendments by the legislature and their submission to the people. It also provides for the manner of submit ting a new constitution to the referen dum. ,..'..., WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Downing;, Hopkins Company' Review of Trade. The week closes on firmer wheat mar- kets,' based primarily on a decided feel ing that the liquidation of long wheat had run its course for the present. That this liquidation has been completed is not to be doubted, and legitimate laws will once more control the market Foreigners have been liberal buyers of wheat in all positions in our market during the decline. Expert sales are large both for prompt and deferred ship ment The interor milling demand has been rather disappointing but shows sdme sign of improvement. The point to be considered as most worthy of attention when considering the price of wheat is, that the conditions of supply and demand which caused the advance to over 85o still exist with even increased force. Such being the case, wheat should prove a profitable pur chase after this severe break, due to speculative stampede entirely unwar ranted by facts. One peculiarity in the situation has been the Liverpool market. When Chicago closed weak, Liverpool would come from to Id higher the next morning, . and vice versa when we closed strong, conse quently the people who have .been in the habit of taking their cue from the action of foreign markets, have been sadly at' sea. May wheat at Chicago closed on Saturday at 77c, a gain of 4o from the lowest point reached during the late decline, and 1 c better than the closing price a weak ago. . ' In the corn market prices are nearly unchanged from what they were a week ago. It is a difficult task to say anything new of corn that could pos sibly be of interest to the trade. Ev eryone' knows about, the big crop of 1896, and how unwieldly an output it was, and how hard it is to lift the price. It will take something artificial to do it, and that is not even a proba bility, for the reason that legitimate arguments for present prices are found in such superabundance as to render any attempt at manipulation an im practicability. , Market Quotations. .,' !- ' ' Portland, Or., Feb. 9, 1897.

From Cuba to Kingsburg, RAISIN CULTURE IN FRESNO What Brought Sueeess Out of Failure to Hon. Z. T. Maxwell. Prom the Republican, Fresno, Cal. The Hon. Z. T. Maxwell, in 1887, having just finished a term in the Mis souri legislature, was compelled by ill health to seek, change of olimate, and after traveling for some montlis on the Pacific slope, . settled in Kingsburg, Fresno county,' California, and engaged in raisin culture. i The change from Cuba, Mo., Mr. Maxwell's old home, to the balmy air of Kingsburg, for a time seemed to benefit the invalid, and, for a while, in addition to his labors ' on the raisin farm, he began to take a prominent part in the county politics, and held several offices of trust in his new state. But ill health was the drawback which prevented him from arriving at the highest political honors, ancl his active mind chafed nnder the restraint of an impaired constitution, so that instead of improving he became worse. These facts concerning Mr. Maxwell's health were so well known among the people of Fresno county, that when he lately reappeared on the busy scenes in ap parent health, he was warmly congratu lated by his numerous acquaintances, and among others the writer of this ar-1 th saP of the "wartwort," a plant of tide. ; he spurge family, as a possible cure for In response to a request to give the cancer.

The eap "You have asked me for more than I could describe. Sometimes I have looked over an alphabetical index oi diseases, and fancied I had them all, but general debility, weakness, insom nia, indigestion, constipation, partial atrophy of muscles, headaches, pain in the back and limbs, and general wretchedness was my lot "My horizon was contracting, and I supposed that the circle of my vision would never again have anything but my bed for a center, for on top of my previous ill health, in 1896, I caught la grippe, which brought me so low that I was very nigh the grim portal. , "New Year's day I was despondent and unhappy, not knowing there was such good fortune in store for me, for I had hardly ambition to read the news paper that was brought me, and threw it on the bed in disgust. As I did so my eye caught the announcement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple, and half in anger and half in con tempt I read what it said and again threw the paper down." But I could not get this announcement cf Pink Pills out of my head, and at last I de termined to try them, and I did so. I began to use the pills, following direc tions carefully, and by the time I had taken the first box my appetite had re turned, and I was so invigorated that it almost seemed as if I were renewing my youth. I kept on taking the Pink Pills until I was thoroughly recovered, and now can do more work than for twenty yeaqi before.- '; - "I will say that not only have they saved me much expense in doctors' bills, but my life, and I am only too glad to publish this testimonial to the virtues of Pink Pills. (Signed) Z. T. MAXWELL." ; Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary-to give ' new life and richness to the blood and re store shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu matism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexion, all forms of weakness either in male oi female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on re ceipt of price, 60 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.60 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenec tady, N. ; Y. :, :-: " t , .

If the League of American Wheel men as a whole will work for good roads this coming year as will the New Xork division of that rapidly growing organization, then cyclists generally will rise up and praise the L.

And good, or even fair, roads are In such small pro portion to the bad ones In this coun try that a small beginning in this di rection will give the League a pres tige that it just now lacks. Chief Cop eul Potter of the New York division has framed a road improvement bill with the nnnrnvnJ and po-oneratlori of the State Grange officials, and with the combined influence of the wheel men and the farmers It is confidently believed favorable legislation will be secured. The work will be pushed vig orously and no doubt will be aided much by the good roads congress to be held at Albany In February in con Junction with the National Assembly of the L. A. W.

The Bearcher after truth is generally re warded; although it is said that "Truth lies at the bottom of a well." ' We need some thing when we are afflicted with neuralgia to search out the seat of the pain, or the 'pain spot, and as St. Jacobs Oil's mission for good is to penetrate and search out the hidden misery,' it goes through like an "X" ray, and conquers and subdues the pain. All pain trouble of a nervous na ture needs careful treatment and patience. I The atnicted nerves must be soothed into submission, and stimulated into healthful action, sd as to restore. This is the virtue of the great remedy for pain, and it is, therefore, well known as the best. It may be called the searchlight after the truth of our bodily ailments. , A scientist claims that there are only seventy-two different kinds of venom ous snakes in this country. ' ' THE STRONGEST FORTIFICATION Against disease, one which enable us to nn- dergo unscathed risks from hurtful climatic influences, exposure, overworn and fatigue, is the vipor that is imparted to a debilitated physique by the peerless medicinal safeguard, Hostetter's stomach Bitters. You may possess this vigor in a higher degree than the trained athlete, although your muscular develoDment may be far inferior to his. Vigor implies sound, good digestion and sound repose, two blessings conferred by the Bitters, which remedies ma larial, rheumatic, nervous and kidney trouble.
