THE DISPENSARY BILL
Cline's Measure Laid on the
Table in the Senate.
SUBSTITUTE TO BE PRESENTED
The Turner Railroad Commission Bill
Refused Reconsideration—Boa
.'*!»• In House and Senate*
The opponents of the Cline dispen
sary bill by their action on Friday be- j
lieve they have succeeded in defeating;
that measure, without the senate be
ing aware of what was taking place.
Before the report of the public morals !
committee was made in the senate, as |
agreed Thursday, by which a majority |
was to recommend the indefinite post- i
ponement and Chairman Van Patton >
was to offer a minority report, favoring
the passage of the bill, one of the op
ponent? of the measure met Van Patton :
and prevailed upon him to compromise
with the majority of the committee by j
submitting a report recommending the
adoption of a substitute bill, favoring
the submission of the question of a dis- i
pensary law to the people, to be voted j
upon at the next general election. j
When this was agreed to, all of the j
members of the committee signed a j
new report, and it was presented to the j
senate. As a substitute bill was not •
ready, Plummer offered a motion that}
the Cline bill be laid on the table until j
the substitute bill should come up for ,
consideration. The motion was adopted
without opposition, and the bill went!
to the table. Friends of the Cline bill !
were surprised to find later in the day ,
that this proceeding was a preconcerted j
plan, and that an effort will now be j
made to prevent the bill from being!
taken from the table for consideration.
Plummer claims the bill is already be- j
yond recovery, and that it will be im- j
possible to get it up for consideration. j
That a strong effort will be made to ;
have the bill properly considered is ap- j
parent from the attitude of Cline's |
friends.
The friends of the Turner railroad j
commission bill Friday morning made
an effort to reconsider the vote by which
the bill was indefinitely postponed the
day before, but without success. Soon
after the house convened, J. M. Ed
wards made a motion to reconsider, and
Jory of Yakima took the floor and deliv
ered a speech in its favor. Day, of
Pierce, then moved the previous ques
. tion, saying that the question was well
enough understood without delaying
the proceedings of the house by "windy |
oratory. The vote was taken by roll
call, with the result that forty-six voted
in the negative and thirty in the affirm
ative, with two absent.
The only legal way a commission bill
can again come up for consideration
would be for one to be sent down by j
the senate after passing that body. i
This will probably be done some time j
next week. It is said that a majority i
of the members of the senate favor a
, . commission bill.
The following bills passed the house: j
By Crawford, memorializing congress j
for an appropriation for the improve- !
ment of the Clearwater river; by Han- I
sen, amending the law prohibiting cru- !
elty to children and animals; Nelson, j
changing the time of holding elections
for county road supervisors from Sep
tember to June; Way, providing for i
voting on a constitutional amendment I
to effect an amendment in the revenue {
laws to exempt certain factories located
in the state from taxation.
The following passed to third read- j
ing: By Bush (C. P.) and Land, relat
ing to arid lands; Phelps, appropriating i
$20,000 for a state wagon road from I
Marcus, Stevens county, to Marble j
Mount, Skagit county; Irwin, allowing j
relations to remove insane persons from j
the asylum by giving proper bond; i
Carr, appropriating $15,000 for a state
wagon road from Wenatchee to the
mouth of the Twisp river, Okanogan
county; Moore, providing for leasing
mineral lands.
Most of the afternoon session of the
house was devoted to the considera
tion of Bush's bill to grant the Ilwaco
Railway & Navigation Company the
right to purchase a tract of tideland in
front of the town of Ilwaco, for the pur- |
pose of maintaining a wharf already
constructed. The bill was passed by a
vote of 54 to 19, although the emergen
cy clause was defeated. The rules were
■uspensded and the bill was immedi
ately sent to the senate. Hargrave
precipitated a fight on the measure by
moving its indefinite postponement,
, and he was assisted by Baker, Winsor
and others. Williams, Warner and
others opposed the motion, which was
finally defeated and the bill passed.
These bills were introduced in the
house: By Couch, fixing the fees col
lected by sheriffs; Rader, relating to
the publication of the session laws of
1897; Thacker, relating to the execu
tion of the death penalty; Guie, rela
tive to garnishments; Couch, provid
ing for a public accountant; Marshall,
for the relief of Louise Croy.
In the Senate.

read notifying the legislature that a
delegation from the trans-Mississippi
"congress would be in Olympia, and ask
ing for a special joint meeting of the
legislature at 7 o'clock.
A joint resolution was passed order

The house Monday morning passed
Hooper's 8-cent-a-mile passenger rate
bill, and it was at once transmitted to
the senate. The rates fixed are:
Adults, 8 cents a mile; under 12,
but more than 6 years of age, 1 % cents
a mile; 1,000-mile tickets, good for
any member of a family and extending
two years after date of purchase, 2
cents a mile. Thirty days after the i
expiration of the 1,000-mile ticket the
owner can receive a credit for all un
used mileage, if he buys a new ticket. '
Witt's bill, making sweeping reduc- i
tions of salaries of state officers, was
killed in the house. Among other
things, it proposed to reduce the per
diem of legislators from $5 to $4, and ;
the governor's salary from $4,000 to ;
12,500.
The house passed Way's bill provid- :
ing a new general law for the sale and
lease of the lands of the state and '
abolishing the board of land commis
sioners and placing all state lands in
the hands of the state land commis
sioner, except arid lands.
An Appraisement Law.
The senate did not meet until 12:30
P. M. Monday, but succeeded in pass
ing a few bills, killing one and prepar- !
ing three for immediate action. Among I
the bills passed is an act for an ap
praisement law to regulate the sale of
property under execution and decree, j
Three bills, by Lesh, exempting $1,000 |
of personal property from execution and j
attachment; creating a txtard of forest '
commissioners, and an act for the sup- ;
pression and prevention of forest fires,
passed. Runner's bill, requiring rail- j
roads to fence their tracks, failed to
pass.
Warburton's bill, requiring insurance j
companies, in case of loss, to pay the
full amount of the policy, was debated
and amended, and will come up for ac- j
tion Tuesday.
An important bill to soldiers and
sailors was debated and ordered en- i
grossed. It compels unmarried inmates
of soldiers' homes to turn 75 per cent
of their pension money into the institu- j
tion, and 25 per cent is placed in the
state treasury, to be refunded when the
inmate is discharged from the home. \
It also allows the board of trustees to |
discharge inmates for certain offenses, j
The following senate bills passed the
senate:
By Cole—Regulating the sale of prop
erty under execution and decrees, and
providing an appraisement law.
By Lesh—Exempting $1,000 of per
sonal property from execution and de
cree.
By Lesh—Creating a board of forest
commissioners.
Crow's Bill Passed.
The senate did not get down to real I
work until an hour before the noon re
cess Tuesday, when Crow's anti-de
ficiency judgment bill came up. Crow
made a long speech in favor of his bill.
The discussion became general and
somewhat heated, but the bill finally i
passed, 19 ayes, 11 noes.
These senate bills alsopaassed: War
burton, requiring insurance companies,
in case of loss, to pay the full amount
of policy; committee on charitable in
stitutions, arranging for entries to sol- j
diers' home, and assessing unmarried j
inmates 75 per cent of their pensions |

depositing the other 25 per cent with >
the state treasurer until the inmate is j
released; Easterday, amending the!
code in relation to proceedings in pro- \
bate; judiciary committee, in regard j
to the settlement of estates of de-1
cedents, and allowing settlement, when i
the will so provides, with as little in
tervention of courts as possible.
McAtee's house bill, for the protec- j
tion of game animals and birds and j
song birds, passed the senate. Me- •
Atee's bill was amended, requiring that
members of sportsmen's clubs and pro
fessional hunters be required to take j
out a license, to cost $5 a year, from j
the county auditor, before being per- j
mitted to hunt. A clause was also j
added allowing prospectors to kill game j
on the public domain for their own use.
For Salary Redaction.
A spirited contest took place in the
house Tuesday over Witt's salary bill,
which was killed in the house Mon- j
day by a vote of 49 to 20, as it failed to j
receive the two-thirds required to pass
a bill providing for a constitutional
amendment. At that time, notice of
reconsideration was given. In the
meantime, active missionary work was J
done, and Tuesday the bill was called j
up and a lively debate followed be
tween Lusher, Geraghty, Warner and i
Witt The bill passed by a vote of 55
to 18. The bill provides for submitting
the question of a constitutional amend
ment making salaries of all state offi
cers about one-half what they are at the
present time It proposes to reduce'
the per diem of members of the legisla
ture from $5 to $4 a day, and their
mileage from 10 to 5 cents a mile.
The speaker has appointed as a sift
ing committee for the purpose of ar
ranging the large number of bills that
have accumulated and have not been
acted upon, and to advance the most
important ones as soon as possible.
The committee is Baker, Roberts, War
ner, Witt, Piereon, De Mattos, Powell
and C. P. Bush.
A bill by De Mattos, providing for
proper charge of rebates allowed on
taxes and proper disposition of penal
ties and interest on delinquent taxes,
was one of the important bills con
sidered and passed to third reading.
The bill by Caywood, relating to
herding stock on the lands of another,
passed the house. The bill prohibits
■my person owning cattle, horses, mules,
sheep or goats from herding such ani
mals upon public lands within one
:nile of any fenced or inclosed lands of
mother, under pain and penalty of fine
and imprisonment.
Gilkey's boom bill passed the house
by a vote of 52 to 18. This bill has
been discussed by loggers and lumber
men, and has attracted more than or
dinary attention.
; Scott's - bill, declaring railroad and
steamboat companies to recognize bi
cycles as baggage, was passed.
The following house bills were passed:
By J. B. Smith, \ reducing \ the salary of
the state librarianrfrom $1,500 to $800;
C. Smith to provide for the incorpora
tion of co-operative mining companies;
Hargrave, to regulate the salaries of
the county officers of Cowlitz county by
making maximum and minimum ' sal
aries, to ?be paid according to : the
amount of > work performed; Kincaid,
j authorizing the ; soldiers' home to re
ceive veterans of the Indian wars of
ISoo and 1854, and of the Mexicaa Wftf.'i
. Referendum. Fall*4.
Fourteen bills were passed by the
legislature Wednesday and will now go
to the governor for his approval.
Under the rule Wednesday is devoted
to consideration of senate bills by the
house and house bills by the senate.
The result was that the lower branch
made good headway, passing twelve
senate bills, while the senate became
clogged considering house bills, and
succeeded in passing only two, one be
ing for the protection of men working
in coal mines; the other, fixing the fee
for filing articles of incorporation with
the secretary of state. The latter bill
was aimed at mining companies, and
under its provisions it would cost $75
to incorporate a company with $1,000,
--000 nominal capital stock. This
brought out opposition from the mem
bers from the mining section, and the
bill was completely changed. As it
passed it fixes a $5 fee for filing papers
and levies and $10 as annual license on
all corporations doing business in the
state.
Bush's "referendum" bill failed to
pass, though it was one of the measures
demanded in the Ellensburg platform.
Several fusion members voted against
it, as they could not agree upon per
centage of votes required to petition for
laws or to enact them over the adverse
action of the legislature, one element
desiring 5 per cent and the other 25.
A compromise at 15 was attempted, but
failed to catch any of the members.
The most important bills to pass the
house are the companion senate meas
ures by Cole and Taylor. Cole's bill
regulates the sale of property under
execution and fees, with a nondefici
ency judgment clause. Taylor's limits
the life of a judgment to five years and
prevents renewals of judgments.
Houghton's senate bill, granting a
bounty of one cent a pound for beet
sugar, passed with a slight amendment.
Among the other bills passed are:
Warburton's, to prevent the unauthor
ized tapping of electric wires; Taylor,
providing for a prior lien for employes
against the real or personal property of
employer, and giving such a lien prece
dence over a mortgage upon such prop
erty.
The "sittings" committee of both
houses are having an interesting time.
With only a few days remaining to
accomplish the work of the session,
every member is making herculean
efforts to have his own measures put on
the calendar in an advantageous posi
tion.
The committee on municipal corpora
tions has decided to recommend the in
definite postponement of the metropoli
tan police bill.
Freeman's bill reducing the number
of superior judges in the state from
twenty-one to twelve, was passed. The
bill does not become effective until four
years from the date of its passage.
Railroad Commission BUI Killed.
The house Thursday indefinitely post
poned Turner's railroad commission
bill by a vote of 86 to 35.
The debate occupied little more thaa
an hour. The opposition was led by
Williams, who has always been an
anti-Turner man, and the bill was ad
vocated by Roberts, Geraghty and
others. The discussion was over the
motion to postpone its readings and to
indefinitely postpone the bill. Owing
to the close vote and the absence of
seven members, it is believed an effort
will be made for reconsideration, and
that there will be another lively fight.
The senate passed Hills' bill for an
amendment to the constitution to con
fer the elective franchise on women, the
question to be submitted at the next
general election in November, 1898.
As a bill of similar purport has already
passed the house, there is every reason
to believe this bill will be substituted
by the house without serious opposition.
Senator Hill made his first speech in
advocacy of his bill, and the debate
which followed was listened to by a
large crowd, mostly women, who filled
the lobby. Nearly every speaker felt
it his duty to make the occasion as har
monious as possible, and the ladies took
occasion to applaud any witty remark
that came from the advocates, and this
was allowed by the chair without the
usual interference.
The bill received only the required
number of votes for a constitutional
amendment—two-thirds of the whole
chamber, the vote being 23 ayes to 11
noes. Deckenbach changed his vote
from no to aye, for the purpose of mov
ing for a reconsideration.
The joint memorial favoring pensions
for Indian war veterans, and Land's
house bill providing for the registration
of male and female voters in school
elections, passed the senate. A bill by
De Mattos, increasing the fees charged
by the secretary of state for filing ar
ticles of incorporation passed. It pro
vides for a fee of $25, and an addidional
5 cents for each $1,000 of capitaliza
tion, and is aimed directly at mining
corporations.
These bills were introduced in the
house: By Struve, for the relief of per
sons performing labor on the capitol
foundation; Hansen, making it unlaw
ful to practice fortune-telling and clair
voyancy; Way, authorizing bonds for
local improvements; Thacker, relating
to persons furnishing water, gas and
light; Wolf, relating to laborers' liens;
Scott, relating to irrigation companies;
Hodgdon, relating to the custody of
public moneys; Day, relating to the ap
pointment of a fish commission; Powell,
defining manslaughter; Mathiot, relat
ing to county commissioners; Rader,
relating to classification of public print
ing; Powell, providing for the transfer
of causes in the superior court; Baker,
relating to attachments; Merrifield, re
lating to drainage of farm lands; Merri
field, to improve drainage of county
roads; Williams, relating to trials on
civil actions.
The new bills introduced in the sen
ate are: By Wharbuton, to authorize
the state, counties and municipalities
to issued bonds to fund outstanding in
debtedness, and providing for a tax
levy to pay interest on the same; Frink r
providing for the maintenance, control
and management of manual training
schools; Hough ton, amending an act to
prevent and punish gambling; Megler,
for the protection of sturgeon in the
waters of the Columbia and its tribu
taries.

Ex-President Harrison has written of ;
"A Day With the President at His I

j Journal. The article is said to be sin- !
I gularly , interesting in the detail with
! which it . describes the wearisome I

that General Harrison, in this article, |
, has delivered himself with great direct- j
; ness and vigor, relative to the annoy- J
| ances that are visited upon a chief ex- ;
1 ecutive by persistent office-seekers, and j
I he suggests a unique plan, by which j

j be enabled to devote more attention to |
more important matters. A feature of
the article that will have a timely in- ,
terest to those ambitious to serve the
country under the incoming adminis
tration, describes very fully how the j
i president makes appointments to office.
"A Day With the President at His

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding* of the
transient nature of the many phys

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value rood health. * Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one | remedy which promotes internal

' organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when yon pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali

all reputable druggists. *- •* ; - -
; If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commend to the most skillful |

one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins * Company'! B«t1«w
of Trade.
The declining values for American
wheat and flour during the last decade
and half can be traced to known causes.
The increased competition in supply
ing wants of importing countries by
Russia, India, Argentine and Australia
account for the major portion of the de
cline in values. The still further re
duction in values can be accounted for
by the decreased cost of production,
owing to improved machinery and to
some extent by the decreased cost of
transportation and smaller intervening
charges between the producer and con
sumer. The extreme low range of val
ues during the last two crop years was
due largely to widespread commercial
disaster, consequent panic and lessened
i purchasing power. The present specu
lative contention is that vital changes
have taken place in the known condi
tions which have produced previous low
values. To begin with, India is no
longer a competitor of America in the '
wheat export trade. Famine at home
I has stopped her exports more effectually
than war or its attending blockades.
The Argentine Republic, at one time a
serious competitor, is suffering from
two succeeding crop failures and her ex
portable surplus no longer exerts any
depressing influence on values. Austra
lia, owing to crop failures, has become
! an importer instead of an exporter of
wheat. Only two remaining countries
possess exportable supplies of wheat —
America and Russia—a condition that
cannot be changed for more than a year
to come. Russian advices, always un
reliable, still indicate that less than
the usual amount of wheat is available
for export. American supplies are
I known to be far below the average of
recent years. In France the crop pros
pects are far below those of the preced
ing two years. If we grant for the
sake of argument (and it cannot be re
futed), that excessive competition dur
ing recent years has decreased wheat
values, the the present conditions war
rant a return in part, if not wholly, to
the normal range of prices before such
I competition depressed values.

Paine's Celery Compound is w«.l. I
Miracles in Curing Disease "1
Paine'a celery compound is working
miracles in the cure of disease!
So says a recent article by the fore
most medical essayist in Boston.
"Nothing shows more conclusively,"
he adds, "the astonishing capability of
Paine's celery compound than the
thoughful, open-minded class of people
who use it and recommend it, both in
public and among their closest and
dearest friends and relatives. Among
us (physicians) there is no longer any
hesitancy in recommending this great
est remedy without stint of praise."
About the same time the above ar
ticle was published there appeared in
the Boston Journal the following letter
from David K. Chasser of 452 Windsor
st. t Cambridgeport, a suburb of Boston:
"I take great pleasure in testifying
to the extraordinary merits of Paine's
celery compound. For some time past
I have been under the treatment of two
well-known local doctors, but their
combined efforts proved of no avail. I
have been for years a harsh skeptic in
regard to advertised medicines, but
having suffered excrutiating pains in

Cancer
Of the Face.
Mrs. Laura E. Mims, of Smithville.Ga.,
•ays: "A small pimple of a strawberry
color appeared on my cheek; it soon
began to i grow rapidly, ( notwithstand
ing all efforts to check it. My
jggfMk " eye became terribly
inflamed, and was so
MBA Jfk swollen that for quite
f^P i\ a while I could not
'^*> ■*'Hf «^ see. The doctors
said I had Cancer of
/M MX the most malignant
4^E^^^HHkS type, and after «a>
han sting their efforts
• :^Y^v''' r without doing me
\V^ any good, they gave
up the case as hopeless. When in
formed that my father had died from
the same disease, they said I must die,
as hereditary Cancer was incurable.
"At this crisis, I was advised to try
S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer
began to discharge and continued to do
so for three months, then it began Ito
heal. I continued the medicine a while
longer until the Cancer disappeared en
tirely. This i was several years: ago and
there has been no return of the disease." |
