A Live Organization. - Tho Woman's club has a member ship of G5 and Is not only n social organization, but nlso a live body of workors which has accomplished muoh for tho dovolopmont ot tho city and has boon n prlmo faotor In making "Snlom tho boautlful." o X-RAYS. Judgo Hargls was a political boss of tho very worst kind, and tho es toem In which ho was held was ahowrj by tho fact that all the hills in East ern Kentucky were ablaze with bon flros to celebrate tho fact that ho was doad. Generally thoro Is a foot ing of horror when a son murders a paront, but young Hargls Is lookod upon as a public benefactor, though guilty of homicide. a The Republicans in Florida had u genulno rough house, tho Roosevo.t and antl-Roosevolt factions coming to blows, and this, too, in spite of tho fact that neither faction can do any thing In tho way ot election, except to send delegates to tho convention. Benton county Is making the Um ber land ownors sit up and tako no tlco. It is taxing tho heavily Um bered land in the Alsea country as high as $26,000 a section. A Seat tie man who owns 160 acres "is sur prised," so he 6ays, that his tax amounts t9 $119.42. The power to tax is a genuine "big stick 'for the lumber speculators. Portland papers aro rubbing It In to Seattle because the taxes in the latter city aro higher than in Port land. Tho fact Is overlooked that Seattle Is building up a modern city with paved streets, while the streets Portland has aro rapidly returning to the condition they were In 60 years ago, barrjng the stumps. Long legged gum boots are becoming a ne cessity in the village down tho oreok. MINUTES FILLED WITH JOY Boston, Feb. 9. Some remarkablo demonstrations were given in public today by L. T. Cooper, who Is intro ducing for the first time in Boston tho preparations which created a sen satlon In othor eltlea recently visited by him. Cooper Is a remarkablo character, with peculiar and original Ideas, and tho announcement of his coming to tho Hub City created widespread in terest. As a consequence, when It -was learned that ho would appear In pub lic, tho place selected for his head quarters was crowded, some coming merely to get a glimpse of tho man himself, others to test his skill In ovqrcomlng disease As nearly as could bo learned tho facts in regard to tho demonstration wero these: At 3 o'clock In tho aftornoon tho young man agreed to Bhow what one of his romedlcs would do for deaf ness, and agreed to mako any one present who was afflicted with deaf ness hear in less than throe min utes. Thoro were many deaf peoplo pres ent, and about a dozen of theso wero given tho demonstration, consisting of a slnglo application of ono of tho Cooper preparations. Tho hearing of theso peoplo was then tested aftor an Interval ot be tween two and three mlnutos. Tho test consisted of questions put to them In an ordinary conversational tono nt distances varying from five to thirty foot. Tho results wero remarkablo In tho extreme. So mo of thoso peoplo who wero treated had beon deaf for a ntimbor of yenr. When tho first quostlon was asked, a look ot nmazcv ment would spread over their faces nnd they would forgot to atiBWor tho question. Asitho questions wero re peated tho surprised look would give way to ono of dollght. Many wero bo affected that they burst Into tears and wero scarcely ablo to an swer tho question. In no single instance, so far ns could bo learned, would an Individu al fall to hoar. Many woro able to hear a flngor snnp at a distanco ot thirty foot. At tho request of Mr. Cooper, questions woro put to them by their frlonds, or by various spec tators, In an ordinary tono of volqq, and tho questions wero readily nn eworod. In giving an account of thoso dem onstrations, Mr. Cooper said: "The preparation used. Is not tho ono with whloh I accomplish most, as my Now Discovery, ns It Is called, and to which I owe my succoss, Is foe the treatment of all forms ot stomaclr trouble and tho general breaking down of tho system that follows In the wake of dlsoasos ot this charac ter "Tho stomach is tho sent of a groat many troubles; for Instnnco, myrom orty will relievo thousands of people of rhoumatlsm In this city, simply by getting tho stomach In working or der." Many peoplo Boon who were pres ont nt this demonstration assort posi tively that Cooper undoubtedly made theso deaf people hear again. STATE EDITORS MEETING Held nt Portland to Consider Advor.

DRIGADIER-GENERATi RRUSH TO COMMAND DEPARTMENT, (Umted Press Leased Wire.) Soattlo, Wash., Feb. 10. Brlga-dler-Genernl Danlol II. Brush will bo the next commander of tho depart-1 ment of tho Columbia, according to a rumor that finds credence in array circles. Tho now 'commander is a personal friond of Colonel Thomas C. Woodbury, of the Third Infantry, and noting commander of this de partment. General Brush has rocolved an ad vance In grade during tho past month. He was formerly colonel of tho Twonty-fourth Infantry, which Is now on transports coming home from two year' service In the Philippines. If You're Weak and run down nt Uils beason of the year you can expect to Buffer from Chills, Colda, Grippe or a spoil of Stomach and Liver trouble. There fore bo wise and build up the entire system by tho use ot HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS It has a reputaUon of 51 jvars' standing as proof that It can cure?

Tho International conforoncos ot Socialists, hold lii Parla In Septem ber, 1900, declared: "That It Is tho duty of all Soclai Ists to make clear to all tho valuo of municipal activity,' to rocognlzo In all munclplnl forma tho Importnnco which attnehos to them ns embryos ot collectlvlst Htqtos, and to ondonv- or to municipalize such public Horv Icsfl ns urban transport sorvlco, odu cation, shops, bakorlos, wator sup ply, otc." Thus tho UsuoIb drawn between Soolnllsm nnd Individualism. Thero is no half-way ground, as tho ex porlanco of English cltlos abundantly provos. Glasgow engagos in 44 Ulf fcront linos of business; rabbits aro brod by Torquay; Llvorpool rnlsss boot, and ono English town actually rnlsos chickens. A momentum Is gainod from ithe municipalization of largor utilities that Inevitably carries tho city Into furthor trading, thus competing directly with a largo num bor of Inhabitants. A fundnmontal error In tho belief that leads to tho Socialistic pro cram Is that all persons have tho samo neods and deslros. Tho' advo cates of the doctrine ovorlook tho fact that as tho complexity of men's llvos Inoreaso their neods and do Biros inoroaso; that It ma bo neces sary for ono man to uso a phone, while his neighbor has no possible need for It. In an individualistic community the government jnay be an unpre judiced arbitrator, but In a Social istic ono it must always fight for Its own rights. Its natural tondenoy la to rush out all competition. Tho overgrpwn. evilly admlnlsterod cor poration may do harm in an Individ ualistic community, hut when tho corporation and tho government aro one tho combination has inflnltoly more power to injure, and does not fall to uso It. In tho former caso tho poople may dlvorco corporation In fluence from tho government, but In the latter tho two aro combined and may crush tho peoplo. Profossor Frank H. H. Roberts on Municipal Ownership. o Neighborhood Favorite. Mrs. E. D. Charles, of Harbor, Me., speaking of Eleotrlc Bitters, says: "It Is a neighborhood favorito here with us." It doservos to be a favor it everywhere. It gives quick relief In dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney derangement, malnutrition, nervous ness, weakness and general debility. Its action on tho blood, as a thorough purifier makes It especially useful as a spring mediclno. This grand alter ative tonic Is sold undtr guarantee at J. C. Perry 'b drug store; 50c. Tho Marlon county Republican contral commltto Saturday called a county convention to meet March 14, for tho purposo of selecting candi dates for tho lcgtslaturo who aro "unalterably opposed to Statement No. 1."

I&tsolutlniiM Turned Down. Whereas, tho electors of Orogon by a mnjorlty so largo ns to bo de cisive, nt tho election held In Juno, 1904, adopted a direct prlmnry net, which Is now tho Inw of tho stato; and, Whorens, every good cltlzon should bo a law abiding man and rendy to nld In nnforolng tho laws of tho state; and, Whorons, It is proposod by some mombors of tho Ropubllcnn pnrty to Ignoro tho diroot primary law and ro-CBtabllHh tho old method of nom tntalng oandidatos by delegates; and It Is proposod to do this in violation of tho law; and, Whorons, that offort If Biicosful would reestablish corrupt practice which tho dlreot primary law obvl atos; and, Whereas, the Republican party Is a party of advancement and not ot retrogression; therefore, bo It Resolved, That tho Marlon county Republican commlttoo opposos the offort to Ignoro tho diroot primary law, as an attempt that Is Indefonsi blo from a moral or legal standpoint and as fraught with danger to tho Republican principles of a majority rule and a government by the peo ple. .Who Wero Prvwjnt.

Tho roport of tho commlttoo wa not adopted without a Bharp dobatc, ox-Sonntor Gesnor championed Ui9 primary law with considerable force, pleading with tho commlttoomon not to tako such matters in tholr own hands In an attempt to annul tho law as adopted by tho peoplo. He dcclarod t!hat nontlmont wag docldod ly In favor of tho direct primary law, nnd domandod to know why, If such was not tho caso, did not tho last loglslaturo ropeal tho direct primary law. Why was no ono proposing to ropoal tho law now? Ho declared tho pooplo of tho county took .tho dally pnpors and' road them, whllo tho city pooplo read only tho head lines, honco woro bottor lnformod, and could not bo, fooled by such ft loaded resolution.

Ho doclnrod this rosolutlou was not vio lating the law, ns Statomont No. 1 could be aofoptod or rojectod nt tho will of tho cuudldnto, that tho state mont was not originally a part of tho diroot prlmnry bill, but was aft orward added In order to advance tho intorosts of certain candidate. Tho Democrats did tho samo thing two yonrs ago In holding a stato con vontlon nnd no ono accused thorn of vlolntlng tho Inw.
