FIRST SECTION EIGHT PAGES TAYLQRIOST Supreme Court Decides the Ken tucky Gubernatorial Dispute. THE DEMOCRATIC CLAIMANT WINS Chief Justice Fuller Say a the State Courts Were Adequate to Set tle the Contest; WASHINGTON, I May 21 The United States Supreme Court today de cided the Kentucky j Governorship case in favor of Governor .Beckham, dismiss ing the writ of error: from the Kentucky Court of Appeals. I The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Fuller this morning and a vigorous dissenting opinion was delivered by Justice Har lan, Justices Brewer, Brown and Mc Kenna also dissented from portions of the opinion. j ;:, ! The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Fuller, and the case dis missed for want of jurisdiction, it be ing held that determination of cases of this character and all contents for state officers rmist; necessarily be settled by the political branch of the Government That branch had acted in the Kentucky case when the general "Assembly took jurisdiction. Tjiicrej was no appeal from the Assembly's decision, which was fa vorable to Goebel j aurl Beckham,, ex cept to the tribunal of the people, which tribunal, the Chief justice: said, was al ways in session. j i! I He also said the case was purely a state case that Kentucky was in full possession of its faculties, as a member of the Union and there was no tmer kency which ! called for 1 interference. Chief Justice Fuller said: "It is obviously 'essential to the In dependence of states, and to their peace and tranquility, and, their power to pre scribe the qualifications or their own officers, the tenMre; of their offices, the jmanncr of their 1 elections and the grounds on j which tribunals before which will be, and the mode in which such elections may be. contested, should be excluded and free from external in tciicrence, except so far as, plainly pro vided by the constitution of the United ;State, and 'where -controversies over the election of state officers have reach led the state courts m the manner pro vided and have been determined in ac cordance with state" legislation and laws, the" cases must be necessarily rare in which the interference of this court can be properly invoked.", KENTUCKY CELEBRATES. 1 Frankfort. Ky.J May. 21. Fire bells wore rung, and wild demonstrations fol lowed on the streets oh the part of the Democrats, when news of the decision at Washington cameT" The decision of the United State Supreme Court in favor of Governor Beckham means there will be the hottest election in Ken tucky, for Governor, next November, that was ever known in- the common wealth. Beckham, as Lieutenant-Governor, can serve only until the election of bis successor at the next clcctioni It is thought Beckham will be the Dem ocratic nominee, and former Governor Taylor, the Republican nominee. The main Republican , issue will be for the repeal of the Goebel law. ! HE WAS RELEASED I Indianapolis, Ind.. May 21.

This is the question now agitating the minds of our leading politicians, and while several prominent men have been suggested, the final selection will undoubedly be the man who will serve the party interests to the best advant age. This is also true of medicine. When your stomach becomes weak and you', suffer from : dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation and Hatulency or when in need" of a medicine to build up your system or restore, your appetite, you will make no mistake if you try that sovereign remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Betters. It is backed up by fifty years of cures, and is recommended by many prominent physicians. It is also an excellent medicine for malaria, fever and ague, and can be had of any drug gist.

Y PAYING F0RBU1 TEE WO CBEAUERIF.S DISTRIBUTE BIG BUMS OF MONEY. Yesterday was Pay day at tbe Com mercial Street Faetorj-Two Valuable lustitntions. The fact that the Salem Creamery Company, which is the one under Jh'e management of George D. Goodhue, whose place of business is on Commer cial street between State and Ferry streets, was paying ,off its patrons yes tcrday, suggested to a statesman re porter some inquiries in regard to the business so far as it has progressed. Several of these checks were seen pass ing from hand to hand, and no douot they paid many accounts - in this city yesterday. It was found that the Sirlcm Creanery Company pays otf its patrons three times a month, and that there are about 142 of them now furnishing milk and cream, with the number increasing daily; and that it takes about $400 a week to pay them off. or Over ?iooo a month. The patrons are receiving: 14 cents a pound net, for their, butter fat, from this company. Besides these J42 patrons furnishing milk and cream, there are about sixty other patrons. ivina too far away or off the routes, who furnish the butter fat in the gran ular form, from which two grades cf butter are put onto the market by this company. 1 nese are not mcivraea in tne $400 a week payments, as they receive their money upon the delivery ot tneir product. THE OTHER CREAMERY. Further inquiry by telephone, at the White Clover Creamery, belonging to T. 'M. Townsend. and located on fcast State street, elicited the ' information that, this institution now has about 175 patrons, and that they are making 300 to 400 pounas 01 uuiier x uj. uvj will make 40O nounds today (Tuesday). They pay 15 Cents a pound for thebut ter fat, and their checks are given out on -the 10th of each month. A little mental calculation will result in show ing that their payments "to their patrons for butter fat must run up over $1500 a month. Thus it will be seen that these two creameries are distributing here ovet $mno a month in cash, for they employ a numoer 01 men m k1"11 -x" and cream and manufacturing it into butter. .Will it last? Of course, the amount of milk and 1 ream minnlirn bv the natrons may di minish considerably as the dry seasm advances and it . may not, for the farmers who are supplying them are making preparations lor green teed tor their cows throughout the year and t.iey are increasing their herds; besides, otner farmers, who are not now patrons, are nrmirinir r become such.

As such a cable must possess very great strength and elasticity to withstand the heavy strains to j which it is subjected, and at the same time be highly flexible, the problem presented in the design of a suitable electrical circuit for incorpor ation withjit has been most difficult. It is said to pave been salved with prreat success by two Belgian engineers. Their method is j extremely simple. Two ca bles or conductors are formed of -fine copper wire wound -in spiral form around co;es of hemp. The cores are about one-eighth inch in diameter, and the wire spirals surround them much in the same way that the wire is wound on a guitar string. These conductors are sewed with hemp and insulated with a yielding rubber tape, the two together, with other strands of hemp or wire forming the middle "lay" of the hawser. Jf the towing cable thus formed stretches a little under heavy strains, the spiralled wires simply open out without breaking. It is stated that after a. test consisting of one hundred stretchings of such a cable, under a pull of 4 800 pounds, the electrical qual itics of its wire circuits were un changed, j V : .

This re port will be the basis for legislation next winter to. enable those settlers to buy title from the Eastern Oregon Ijnd Co.. if prices are reasonable. Messrs.
