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.

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

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.

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.

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

"It Is a neighborhood favorito here

In dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney
derangement, malnutrition, nervous
ness, weakness and general debility.
Its action on tho blood, as a thorough

Tho Marlon county Republican

Whereas, It is tho sonso nnd do-
Biro of tho Republicans ot Marlon

I&tsolutlniiM Turned Down.
Whereas, tho electors of Orogon

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. In would not bo
tho doom of tho direct primary law,
but of tho party "taking such rneh
action.
"ThlB resolution Is In diroot viola
tion of the law and you cannot sugar
coat It. Thero hns boon dissension
In tho ranks of tho pnrty but wo aro
now gottlng together and working
moro In harmony, but such nn act

thing, why not mako It gonornl.
Thoro In somo ultorlor motive not yet
dovolopod. Lot us bo bravo to broak
tho law llko men, lot It stand."
Senator Smith for Convention.
Dr. J. N. Smith took tho floor In
support of tho convention. Ho r3v
vlowod tho diroot prlmnry law. 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.
"Tho Ropubllouu party wants to
got bnok Into pnrty linos and bo Re
publican. So far ns I linvo boon la
the country nine out of overy ten
voters aro opposod to Statomont No,
1. I hnvo takon pains to Investi
gate. Tho pooplo of tho country havo
somo sonso. They know that StaU
ment No. 1 dooB away with tho par
ty. Wo want to sond a Republican
to congress, and wo aro going to do
It, If tho pooplo of tho stato went
n Democrat In tho United States sen
ate, they will eleot a Doraooratlo leg
islature. Resides tho only way to
got accord In tho pnrty Is 4o hold
asHomblios."
When tho question was put to a
voto the resolution declaring for an
assembly was adopted by almost two
to ono.
Tho proolnot commlttoomon will
oall mass mootlngs of their preclnots,
March 7, to choose delegates to the
county assembly, which meets In Sa
lorn on Mar oh 14, at 10 o'olook. Tho
representative to this convention
will bo ohpaen on the basis of ono
for each fifteen votos or fraction
thereof, oast for Wlthyoombo for gov.

make 217 dslogato in tho assembly.
