Doctors Fail to Agree on the State of Patient Are Not Sore if There Is a Remedy for Disease, or if It Is Really a Disease That Confronts Them. Do we nominate for municipal elec tion in the good obi way, or do we have to try the new at the coming pri maries? That iV the question that bothers tiie politicians now. Who will or can answer it f . . Notwithstanding the fact that the Attorney General of the state in his wisdom has stated that, the new law does not apply to-the coming municipal election which is to take place in Salem and Baker City and Astoria and other small places over the state, yet there is a feeling of doubt in the minds of all who have looked at the law, and many in fact are assured in their own minds that the law is considerable of a jum ble and will require a good deal of straightening Oat before it is made to work as successfully as Mr. Uren of Oregon City,-4as assured everybody it WOUld. :t ' ' i ' Although the law says-that the regis tration books shall be opened between the first Monday in January and the fifteenth day of May in the year 1906, this provision is not at all special, for the law says the same thing shall oc cur every year thereafter, this provis ion being a general one, and not a spec ial one showing the date when the law shall become operative. That; it requires the books to be opened during Septem ber and October of 1904, shows that the law is intended to become operative before the year 1906. i At least this is the opinion of several who have studied its manifold provisions. r In reference to when it shall take ef fect and become operative, however, the constitution' as . amended by the "Initiative and , Referendum " says: "Any measure referred to the people shall take effect and beeome the law when it Is approved by the majority of the votes east thereon," and as there is nothing to the contrary in the pri mary law it would seem that it became operative immediately, and any attempt to make the law inoperative until two years . hence would be ap, to prove abortive. ; How ' to make it applicable at this im I though seems to be a difficult As to the Doiat raised by Senator Fulton that the law ii nneonsttitution al, wbils talked a good deal, is not de- Goods Mi Great Honey-Rtlisinfl Sale.

ORGANIZED CRIME. The Police -Have Discovered That M. Von Plehve's Murder Was j Part of Plot. : ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 26. While some features of the plot which cul minated in the assassination of Von Plehve, Minister of the Interior, still baffle the police, the authorities pro fess now that it is certain the conspir acy was hatched at. Geneva, by half, a dozen Russians, mostly Jews. The au thorities know the names and addresses of the conspirators,' but are unable to take legal action against them owing to the failure of the laws of Switzer land to interfere with political refugees and therefore the Russian terrorists at I liberty will continue .the work: of assas sination of Russian Ministers so long as they are able to find emmissaries willing to risk their lives. Six men who en gineered the Plehve plot, according to the result of police investigation, de clared there was a organized series of political crimes which began with the assassination of M. Bogdanoviteh, Gov ernor of Ufa, in 1903, and ended in the blowing up of Plehve. Gerehunia. as sassin of Minister of the Interior Sip iaguine in 1902, turns out to have been aa emmissarr of the Geneva terrorists. For the first time the tact is now re vealed that Plehve 's murder was pre ceded by four abortive attempts to en- What Is IdfsT In the last analysis nobody knows, but we do know that it is- under strict law.

BABKEEPES THOUQHT WAS JOKE Two Masked Men Enter Saloon and , Order Everybody to Hold Up - Their Hands. Men Who ' Were Shot Neglected to Comply With the Order Bobbers Get Hundred Dollars , and Make Their Escape Good. SEATTLE, Sept. 26. Two massed men shot and fatally injured one man, maimed another, and seriously injured a third in holding up Conway's saloon in this eity. The highwaymen entered the saloon and ordered Lou Conway, the proprietor, and bartender, to hold ' up their hands. Conway thought it a joke and refused. - One of the bandit's shot him, hitting Conway in the arm, which may have to be amputated. Janfes Mur phy was standing in. front of the bar and turned to see the trouble. He re ceived a bullet in the abdomen, and will die. Gilbert MeBeath, also in front of the bar, started to run, but the ban dit fired, hitting him in the side. The bartender and another occupant of the saloon held up tbeir hands and escaped injury.- The robber who did the snoot ing ordered his pal to rifle' the till, which he did, securing about $100. The two then escaped. .-, CHALLENGES FAIRBANKS. Senator J)uBols, of Idaho, T?antg Him to Discuss Mormon : ism. SPOKANE, Sept. 20. A challenge to Senator Fairbanks, Bepublieaa nominee for Vice .President, to discuss the Mor mon issue in his two speeches in I'Jabo was made today by, U. S. Senator Do Bois. DuBois challenge is in fhe form of an open letter. He asserts that Mormon Tsm is condemned by both tne JSational Jemoeratie platform aaJ by the Tdaho Democracy , The Sen ator goes on to say that the question is one which will confront Fairbanks in Wyoming, Utah .Colorado, Idaho and Oregon, and as Fairbanks is discussing the Democratic platform and candi dates, DuBois thinks the people have a right to know wwbere the Republican candidate stands on this. ' PRUNES PLENTY GROWERS IN CHEERFUL. FRAME OF MIND DESPITE SOME AD- S VERSE CONDITIONS. Not Quite So Fortunate or Happy as the Hop Grower But They Have Bright Hopes for the Future Condi tion Will Not Always Be Such. Dr. J. F. Cook brought to the States man office on Saturday some samples of j Italian prunes that show up aa well . as 1 any for this year, or any other year. They run sixteen and a half to seven-j teen ounces to the ten prunes on tne average. Dr. Cook has an orchard of thirty acres of these prunes, in the Rosedale district, and the trees are an well loaded. That district will be the backbone of the prune output of this section for this year, on account or tne fact that the adverse, conditions that cut the crop down in other places either did not pervSil there, or were not so severe. On the whole, most of the prune growers of Oregon, despite the short crop in some districts, are in a rather cheerful frame of mind. ' -' They are not so hilariously happy as the average hop grower, but they figure that there will probably be years in the future when the growers of this staple fruit will have more to be thank ful for than the producers ox tne redo lent berry .that is so much in demand for the making of yeast "and other things. Years, for mstanee, when the world for several, seasons in succession may produce more hops than are needed in the manufacture of the things which they go as raw material; when hops will not pay for the drying to say nothing of the picking and cultivating. There have been such years for the hop growers in the past, and -there may be in the future, though it is to be hoped; that they will be long deferred, if tfiey ever come again, at aU. They will not start next year, Snd that may be pot down as a certainty, on account of the fact that the boards wiQ be bare of hops before the next crop is baled, and there will be a good price for them, though the world's yield may turn out to be much more than an average one. NOT A DRY EYE IN AUDIENCE. Pixley and Luders - " Burgomaster Leaves Impression That Can ; j Never Be Efaced. The only reason that there . were not more people in attendance upon The Burgomaster, which was the attraction at the Grand Opera House last evening, was simply because there was no room for them. Every seat was sold and the Only regret upon the part of the man agement was that there were no more seats to sell or to accommodate the de mand. An "oasis in the desert' is there anything which could more fit tingly describe the character of the per formance? Every character in the east, from the Burgomaster - himself and Countess 01?s von Hatzfeldt the lead ing lady, down to the merest' chorus girl was perfect in their particular stunt and the result was that there nev er was a -more pleased audience turned out of the Grand since its dedication. Oscar Flgmanas the " Burgomaster' could not be improved upon in the slightest, and the Countess, in her sev eral and varied roles, was par excel lence. The same may.be said of Charles Sharp, as "Doodle von KulL" and all of j the other leading characters. If there was anyone who could restrain his laughter during the entire perfor mance it can only be said that his ease is certainly a chronic one and, sad to say, jthere is absolutely . no hope for him. Aside from the leading or char acter work the choruses were positively the best that has ever been seen in this city. The drill work and gorgeous cos tnmes were ' inspiring in the extreme, nothing more beautiful or original hav, ing ever been introduced in the Burgo master, while the singing was far above the average, in fact, on the whole it is tle best Burgomaster that has been west of the Rocky mountains and, should Win. P. Cullen's troupe ever visit Salem again, and it is to be hoped that it will, it is safe to say there will have to be some wings built upon the opera house to accommodate the jam. LOSES HIS LIFE FORMER SALEM BOY IS DROWNED IN CLACKAMAS RIVER SUN DAY MORNING Lewis Landen In Trying To Cross River Loses His Footing and Is .Washed Down Companion Barely Escapes With His Life, i The followlnwg j front the Eveuiniz Telegram tells how young 'Lewis Lan don, well known here, where his parents live, lost his life : la tne Clackamas river 'on Sirndaye.: "Lewis Lan Jen, stamping clerk in the Portland postoffice, met death in the ehilly waters of the Clackamas river yesterJay morning, and his body has not yet boen recovered. " In company with F. R Foss, of this eify, Landen left early yesterday morn ing for a fishing trip, and when they reached Cazalero they started up the stream. About two miles above Ca eadero the banks were so rough on the side of the river where they were fish ing that they attempted to cross, and got out in the river about waist deep, when the current took them both 'off' their feet. After a hard struggle Ross succeeded in getting out, and looked about for his companion, who seemed to be making successful efforts to regain his footing. "Ross, who-was within a few feet of Landen, reached out his pob, an 1 the unfortunate man tried to gTasp it, but at that moment the current swept him down out of eight, and be never rose to the surface. Ross tried in vain to help him, then he hurried ashore and communicate! with the authorities. Coroner Holman ef Clackamas county, and Attorney Loader went at once to (he scene, but were unable to obtain any trace of the body, and returned to Oregon City last night. "Above Cazartero ' the Clackamas river is . full of deep holes, and it , is very possible that London's body may have become entangle I in 'driftwood and may not rise to the surface. , ?janien was zu years or age, ana bis parent, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Landen, reside in Salem.

WHEAT TAKES A TUMBLE. Makes a Decline of Four Cents a Eushel at Chicago Owing to Liqui-'-'. r dation. :. CHICAGO, Sept. 20. A break ot four cents a bushel on wheat occurred today. The decline was due to a gen- ra1 limiiilntinn And '1h reduction of. numerous stop-loss orders. Surprisingly heavy primary, receipts also contributed to the weakness. At the start the mar ket showed a fair degree of firmness due to the strength of foreign grain markets,-wheat prices in Liverpool be ing up nearly a point. As the result of. heavy selling, prices) started on the down grade, the declining tendency continuing throughout the entire ses sion." The low point of the day was reached jnst before the close.
