The "other business" WHS to all appearanoes of much greater importance than the arrangement of dates and tho appoint ment of the delegate representation. Secretary Hazzard, of the state committee, ran the meet ing to the tune of •'money we must have," much time being taken up iu the discussion of the campaign fund. The fund is not large, but today's meeting brought out symptoms of pros pective offerings by the faithful and the blood- Washed. For the proposed morning party organ lor this city, a fund of 110,000 ia demanded, and those who are interested in seeing tho paper materialise are pledged to secure that amount, and further, to tide the venture over the com ing campaign. Among the appeals for funds was a secret cir cular, a copy of which was carelessly loft in tho meeting room today. Tho diction of this ap peal is touching. Money, it is said, must be Sad. It was decided to hold the first state conven tion at Vancouver on May 25, to select eight del egates and eight alternates to tho National con tention at Chicago,. J uuo 21. The basis of rep resentation will bo three delegates from each oounty at large, and one delegate for each 100 votes in excess of fifty cafct for Thomas Car roll for congress at tho election held November 4, 1890, which will make a convention of 331 delegates. ' County conVoutions will be ordered to hold primaries on May 14 to elect delegates to the Vancouver convention. Tho state convention will be held at Olympia at a data to be here after announced. The counties represented were; Aiotin, Franklin K. Lane; Chehali«, L. E. Kader: Clarke, S. I). Dennis; Columbia, J. E. JKdmiston; Cowlitz, G. W.

So far the ooncl«ve ol Democrat* here hns re milted iu a belief nmoni? the obtervlnp members of tha party that without money there is no hope for Democratic »ucce«» la uuy quarter. In order to work up enthusiasm ami encouraso contributions to tho campaign fund, apian hns been secretly evolved haviui for its object tho enpturiue of the state Democracy.

The Pearl waa still strong and was mak ing a game, hurd fight, but when the Stockton mun swung hia risht fiat on the Pearl'a massive Jaw there wa» no more fighting. A» the Pearl fell senseless to tho floor, Turner went to hia cor ner with a hatipy grin, turning bia back on hia defeated antagonist as II convinced his blow bad done the necessary work.

And then, when the echoes die away over Lake Pouehartrain and are lost be yi nd Algiers across the Mi sistippi, only the voices of the common roysterers will be heard, and the disciples of Cribb will iioli full sway. With tho decay of the festivities of the re ligious which mait the advent of lent will come forth the advent of the r ncr regulators who l-ope to sc.' t!io birth of a new champion or that of a possible premier oi pugilism.

Treatment and Cure by an Entirely Xew and Snccessful Method. Female diseases are extremely common, and none are more coinp.icated and diffi cult of treatment than the class generally known as "female complaints," and n>>no which are the cause of greater misery and woe. Such are ifieir habits of dress that the natural circulation of the body is dis turbed, bringing too much blood to the pel vic region.causing congestion, inflamma tion and ulceration, relaxation of the ab dominal amscies, causing failing of the boweis, and, as a consequence, the dis placement of the bladder and uterus. In iact, most of the difficulties arise from dis placement or falling of the organs, i'or such cases the only rational cure consists of contracting the_ muscles and append ages of support. Uterine diseases are not incurable, but when properiy treated, yield readily, as the disposition of all such eases is to get wall. Electro-magnetic treatment, as practiced by Drs. Damn, is a positive cure for all these painful com plaints and weaknesses peculiar to women. It removes congestion by equalizing the circulation of the blood and nervous nuid; strengthens the-musoles of the uterus and lifts it into place; contracts the muscular fibres and imparls a healthy tone to the relaxed organs. Electro-magnetism wiil entirely cure the worst form of inflamma tion, ulceration, liooding, irregular or tardy menstruation and female troubles of whatever nature, if curable. It is im possible for a woman after a faithful course of treatment to have weakness. Hun dreds of women cherish grateful remem brance of the health they have derived from Electro-magnetic treatment as ad ministered by Drs. Darrin. Cures of male or female complaints are withheld in professional confidence, with due regard to delicacy of the patients. DBS. DA REIN'S PLACE OF BUSINESS.
