Report of committee on resolutions read and accepted. Following are the resolu tions as adopted by the Convention: thk resolutions: Tho Republicans of San Juan County in convention assembled extend their j greetings to the Republicans of the State 1 of Washington and congratulate them up- I on the certain deliverance of our country from the calamity and curse of Democracy and the returning sunshine of prosperity which will surely follow the Republican victory in November next. The Democratic heresy of Free Trade must be uprooted from American soil and sent back so the country from which they borrowed it; and the Republican doctrines I of Protection and Reciprocity, which lie so near the hearts of all our patriotic citi zens, be re-established. We declare this Jto be the overwhelming public ques i tion which most vitally affects the mdii i vidual interests of every citizen of this j Republic. We denounce the unneecessary issw of i government bonds in these times of peace ! hs an outrage upon the people and a crime | against posterity. We demand that sound and honest | tuoney shall continue to be one of the cardinal virtues and vital principles ot our party as it has been from the day of i its birth. By this we mean that all our j money—gold, silver and paper,—shall be issued only under such conditions and in such relative quantities as will insure their ! absolute parity. We believe that every j American dollar should be an honest 100 --' cent dollar, always and everywhere. We therefore earnestly oppose the free and ! unlynited coinage of silver at the ratio of i 16 to 1 until established by international I agreement. We also declare it to be our ! sincere conviction that the continued agi | tation for the unlimited coinage of silver I hinders the return of confidence and pros • perity, stands in the way of beneficial legislation, and is in every respect harmful i to the best interests of the whole country. Five delegates to the State Convention i and also rive alternates were then elected j and are ns follows: delegates: I J. A. Gouid No. 2 San Juan i John S. McMillin No. 3 San Juan ! W. E.

Friday Harbor Republican Club. On Friday evening last some of our good Republican brothers assembled ill the court room for the purpose of or ganizing a Republican Club for this preeinet.

L. Blair; Vice President, W. H. Thacker; Treasurer, C. L. Carter; Secretary, E. H. Nash. Meetings will be held on the first Mon day of each month until three months previous to the election when the Club will meet every two weeks. The Con stitution and By-Laws recommended by the Republican State Central Com mittee were adopted, with a few minor alterations. The meeting showing one very strong feature in the Republican party in this precinct, and that is that we are a unit on all questions, and the idea that has been given out by a few that there is a split in the party is an absurd one. The following is a list of signers who joined the Club immedi ately after its organization, and who have promised to aid and support the party throughout the coming campaign J. A. Gould, M. R.

(From Pacific Health Journal.) First, get a wife; second, be patient. You may have great trials and per plexities in your business, but do not therefore, carry to your harue a cloudy or contracted brow. Your wife may have trials, which, though of less mag nitude, may be hard for her to bear. A kind word,"a tender look, will do won ders iv chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom.—To this we would add always keep h bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy i<. the house. It is the best and i* sure to be needed sooner or later. Your wife will then know that you really care for her and wish to protect her health.

Chure'> in Friday Harbor, closed last Monday evening, with a good attend ance and interest. There were eight accesoions to the church. T iis ottiee is indebted to Mrs. M. P. Rethlefceti fora bunch of fine r dishes grown in her garden here. They were the first we have had this season, and were very much relished. The new two story building for the Island Packing Co. is now completed, and this, together with the additions made to Mie other buiklitipt, makes their plant the largest on this part of the Sound. Lieutenant Godfrey Garden went to Townsend, Tuesday, on the Thompson, for the purpose of making the trial trip with the new government hunch, "Scout," which will be stationed here when completed. Mr. Philip Fosnot, aged sixty years, died at Lopez on last Thursday morn ing, April 30th, of paralysis and was buried ytsterday in the Lopez ceme tery. He leaves one brother who resi ded with him and a niece in Salt Lake City, Utah. Deceased had been a resi dent of San Juan county for the pMst fifteen years and had justly gained he highest respect of all who knew him. The Lydia Thompson went on the ways, at Seattle, last Sund .y, and was thoroughly inspected by Messrs Cherry and Bryant. She will soon be dressed in a new coat of paint and thoroughly overhauled in every respect. To the Thompson Brothers must be given the credit of keeping their steamer the cleanest and neatest in every part of any boat on Putret Sound, and should reap the reward justly due them by having a first-class patronage both in the freight and passenger line. For every quarter in a man's pocket there are a dozen uses; and to use each one in such a way as to drive the greatest benefit is a question every one must solve for himself. We believe, however, that no better use could be made of one of these quarters than to exchange it for a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, a medicine that every family should be provided with.

Dilute Bordeaux mixture, eoppor arsenic solution and anunonical solution of carbonate, are the most useful for the treatment of the diseases herein mention ed, and the first has the widest range of usefulness of all. 4. Early spraying is the key to success in the use of fungicides. 5. For the plum cun-ulio and shot hole fungus use Bordeaux mixture and Paris green combined, making three or four applications. I( is not known that the treatment will prevent the black knot, but cutting away and burning the diseased branches will accomplish the result. 6. Scabby apples rot inu-h earlier than those free Ann scab, and spraying with fungicides will save at least 50 per cent of the loss. 7. Spraying with fungicides in the sea son of IBif2 prevented much of the early dropping of apples, which is usually at tributed to wet weatiier. 8. For apples two applications of Bor deaux mixture before blooming are ad vised, and two of the same mixture after blooming, with Paris green added. 9. The same treatment is recommended for the pear as for the apple before bloom ing, but the opper-arsenic solution is ap pled after blooming. 10. The Bordeaux mixture, if used too late, causes a russet appearance on both pears and apples. 11. The quince may be treited the same as apples, or with Bordeaux mix ture alone. 12. The treatment advised for the cher ry consists of using two or three applica tions of Paris green, two ounces to fifty gallons of water. 13. Peach trees and American varieties of plums have very tender foliage and must l>e treated with very weak mixtures if at all. 14. Raspberries may be treated with Bordeaux mixture alone; grapes with the same until the fruit sets, after which use copper carbonate. Mr. D. P. Davis, a prominent livery man and merchant of Goshen, Va., has this to say on the subject of rheumatism: ''I take pleaMirein recommending Cham - berlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, as I know from personal experience that it will do all that is claimed for it. A year ago this spring my brother was laid up in bed with inflammatory rheumatism and suffered intensely. The first application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm eased the pain and the use of one bottle completely cured him. For sale by all druggists. MONEY TO LOAN. $400 to loan on improved farm.
