-WHY ARE
Two Branchesof the Oregon Legislature
Called to meet on the 20th day of September, in Salem, Oregon ?
Because there exists an emergency that should be corrected,
FIRST That several persons are making money out of tills, by charging
enormods profits on their wares.
SECOND That they palm off spurious goods and charge first-class prices
and to correct these errors the governor In his message to the legislature will
gay;
That they pass an appropriation so that all the employes wiU have money
and not vouchers, and they will not be compelled to go to the high-priced,
stares for their wares (who credits and charges an enormous per cent) o as
the customer, who pays cash, stands the losses for the delay of the old-timers.
The people will be ordered to -purchase their waresat
2 Friedman's New Racket, X
Which Is opposite Bush's watering tank, where you will find a complete
assortment of clothing, and where they will give you lits in Men s, outh s
and Children's Clothing, where a full line of Furnishing Goods s kept; where
ttie level-headed people will llnd hats; and, for a good understanding, you
will get your Shoes at Friedman's New Racket. The ladies who want to be
In fashion will get their laces, trimmings and embroideries, tablecloths, nap
kins, towels and pillow shams, ana fancy goods at I riedman s bev Racket.
Under the new laws you will be required to keep your nose clean; you will
therefore buy your handkerchiefs at Friedman's. It will be the headquarters
of members of the legislature when the house is not In session. In fact, no
member of the legislature will be entitled to a seat in the house or senate,
unless he shows some article purchased at Friedman s.

Repairs to Chicago, Atlanta and
Yorktown About Completed,
Former Two Assigned to the North At
lantic and the Latter to the Asiatic
Squadron. '
A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Washington says:
It Is the Intention of the nayy de
partment to place three man-o'-war In
commission during the coming month.
These are the cruisers Chicago and
Atlanta, which have been undergoing
repairs at the New York navy-yard
for two years, and the gunboat York
town, whrch has been put In condi
tion for services at the Marc island
nayy-yard.
The Chicago and 'Atlanta will be
assigned to the North Atlantic fleet
until the conclusion of a treaty of
peace with Spain, when their future
stations will be determined. The
Yorktown will be assigned to the Asi
atic station, where the need of small
gunboats In the waters of China and
the Philippines Is especially felt.
Captain P. II. Cooper has been as
signed to the command of the Chic,
ago, and Commander C. S. tPercy,
equlpmento.lllcer to the nayy-yard,
has been selected to command the
Yorktown. So Tar as can be learned
the Atlanta's commanding oflicer has
not yet been determined upon.
It will not bo surprising If the
Chicago is assigned to the Euro
pean Squadron, to be formed
early in November. The inten
tion of the department to rclioye Com
modore J. W. Philip, In command of
the second squadron of the North
Atlantic lleet, in the event of con
tinued peace, and assign him to duty
as commandant of the Boston nayy
yard, is icgardcd as indicative of the
attention of the authorities to send
Commodore II. L. Howlson to sea, As
the European squadron will be the
only commodore's post which will bo
vacant, It would not bo surprising 11
he wcie assigned to that command.
A special from Washington saye:
Bids will be opened on October 1 for
contracts for the construction of four
coast-defense monitors, authorized by
the last naval appropriation law. It
is said at the department that four
tlrms Wlll'surely bid the Union Iron
works, Bath Iron works, Columbia
iron works, and Dialogue & Sons.
The department has not yet awarded
the contracts for the construction of
the torpedo-boats and torpedo-boat
destroyers,
Considerable opposition is still
manifested by shipbuilders whose bids
were not recognized py the naval
board on construction to the Ilcrres
coirs and John W. Trigg, of Rich
mond. A Veteran Martyr.

FATAL ELEVATOR FIRE
Ten
Persons Cremated and
teen Severely Injured,
Fif-
Caused by Spontaneous Combustion of
Dust in a Grain Elevator ut
Toledo.
Toledo, O., Sept. 22. Ten cre
mated and 15 seriously Injured Is the
record of the most disastrous fire that
eyeroccurred In Toledo. The spon.
laneons combustion of dust In the
grain elevator owned by Paddock,
Hodge & Co., at 0 o'clock last night,
caused this terrible destruction of
life, and none of those who were
taken out after the lire started were
far enough from death's door to tell
any of the details.
All oyer Toledo houses were shaken
by the exploslou, as by an eartequake,
and windows were chattered for blocks
around. Very soon afterwards flames
burst from all sides of the elevator.
It was but a few minutes till iho tiro
department of the city began tho
work of rescue, which was rendered
difficult by the terrible haat of the
lire. The river cut off escape on one
8ldd, and there the flames (seemed to
bo less llerec.
It was learned that a force of 20
men had been In-the building their
purpose having been to load 80,000
bushels of grain during the night,
William Parks was found tirst. Ho
was 20 feet from the building, fright
fully burned and his clothes almost
torn off. Ho had been hurled from
hlstplace in the main room thiough a
window, and his agonizing cries were
most pitiful.
Another employe, John Carr, was
hurled from the fifth floor of that
building, and was found bleeding and
burned, with many bones broken. He
did nou long survive.
Fireman David Kemp and Charles
Keller, the engineer, were found at
their places In the engine-room.
They were wounded by falling timbers
and their faces were charred to a
crlbp by the flames.
The little daughter of William
Parks was sitting at tho desk In tho
olllce at the time of the explosion,
and was hurled out of the
door. She walked down the elevation
on which tho building stands and
aroppca aown, to do .carried away
unsconscluus, suffering from wounds
from which she cannot recover.
John Smith was fatally burnad. Ho
was literally dlsenidowlcd, and was
taken to the hospital to die.
The missing men are doubtless all
dead. No trace can be found of any
of them, and as they were employed
at the top or the elovator, their
chances for escape were but slight.
Tho heat became so Intense that 20
cars standing on the sidings near the
building where added to the loss. The
lire dspartment had a hard struggle
to save other elevator property. The
bridge across the Maumee rjver was
on fire sevejal times, but outside the
loss, of the elevator, the damage Is
slight.
Mr. Paddock, a member of the own
ers of plant, said there was between
500,000 and 00,000 bushels of grain In
storage at the time, the most of it be
ing winter wheat.
At 12:30 o'cIock the flames were
under control.
(Hy Associated Press to the Journal.)
Toludo, Sept. 21. The explosion In
the elevator of the Union Elevator
and Transportation Company last
evening resulted In the death of most
of employees In the structure, and a
money loss exceeding half a million
dollars. There was at least 150,000
bushels of grain in the building.

Prevent
Pneumonia
Prevention ia always better than
euro, oven when euro is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes tho
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is " tho first law
of nature." Pneumonia can be pre
vented and is often cured by thousp
of AVer's Cherry Pectoral. T
"Soma years ago I had a sovcre cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. I could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched
condition. I procured a bottle of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to tho
directions, and at tho end of fifteen daysw as
as well and sound as beforo tho attack. I
havo recommended it in many cases of pneu
monia since, and havo never known it to fall
In effecting a euro."
JOHN HENRY, St. Joseph, La.
"I was attacked with a cold that settlod
on my lungs, and defied tho skill of my phy
sicians bo that they considered me incurable.
At last I bogan to uso Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
