The Convention Of 90.

A Walla Walla student in local history
has collected the following regarding the
constitutional convention OF 1860 and the
reception Of its work by the voters:
'The proposition for calling conven-
ton to frame a state constitution, pre-
liminary to asking for the admission Of
Washington territory to the Union, was
first submitted to the voters Of the terri
tory by an art Of the legislature, session
Of 1850, providing for a ballot upon
the question at the June election Of 1860.
Failing to meet the favorable considera-
ton Of the people at that time, 1t was
again submitted at the general elections
Of 1872 and 1874, and each time defeated.
In 1876 the question was again submitted,
and the people declaring in favor Of such
action, delegates were chosen, and the
convention convened at Walla Walla, the
second Tuesday in June, Of 1873. After a
session Of forty days constitution was
framed, receiving the endorsement Of the
people at the general election Of that year
the vote being 6l62 for and 1921 against
"a total Of nearly 5000 less than the vote
cast for delegate to congress. Tho records
indicate that Walla Walla never lost an
opportunity to take stand against the
measure. In 1860 she gave "a votes for
and 2S6 against, her total vote for dele
gate being 1924. In 1872 1t was 81 for
and 800 against; total vote for delegate,
1855. In 1874 her vote for delegate was
1919, and Of this number only 100 were
sufficiently interested to vote on the qucS-
ton Of constitutional convention-236
voting against it. In 1875, those iayoring
the proposition numbered IS. while those
opposed were W.; total vote for delegate,

Benjamin +. Tracy, Of New York, Is a
man Of well known ability, but he can
not be called distinguished statesman.
He first gained prominence in his profess
sion rs one Of the lawyers in the cele-
brated Beecher trial, although he had
been a familiar figure in the New York
courts long prior to that event and has
been conspicuous to the New York public
on many subsequent occasions. His name
was agreed upon among the last and the
election viii perhaps be satisfactory to his
state as he is a shrewd. bright man.
John W. Noble, Of Missouri, is less
known perhaps than any other member
Of the cabinet. He is resident OF St.
Louis, end Is said to he a man Of fine
business qualifications. The far west
would have been some better satisfied II
the interior department had been given
to some one residing nearer this region,
hut those who know Mr.. Noble all unite
In p-onpuncins him an able, worthy man.
For ths attorney generalship, President
Harrison selected W. II. II. Miller, OF In
diana. Mr.. Miller is the law partner Of
General Harrison, aud as such is well
known to the president as man on whose
opinions he may rely with implicit conf
dence. As the attorney general is the
man above all others upon whom the
president must rely in many important
matters upon which policies and actions
Of the entire administration must turn,
President Harrison appears to have de-
sired to have near him the man with
whose PROFESS and habits Of reasoning
and investigation he is familiar.
jeremiah Rusk, Of Wisconsin, was a
familiar figure in congress several wears
ago, and is man who possesses in verv
marked degree the confidence Of the pub
lie, especially the people Of the middle
west. He is also strong with the soldier
element, and even stronger with the
farming element, with whose interests he
has been prominently identified. Per
hapS the only class Of people in the United
States with whom General "Jere" Rusk
is not popular is that Of the anarchists
and dynamiters. He doesn't believe in
that class Of citizens and corclatiycly they
do not appreciate him.

ABig Rsksr Game.

The biggest game Of stud-horse poker
ever played took place in the Midland
hotel at Kansas City, March II. The
game was between J. Schwartz, we'll
known ieweler, and John Davis, stock
man and former member Of tie city gov
eminent. The ante was raised from q
cents to $500. Schwartz lost So, 900 on
a pair Of mines and 10000 on q pair Of
trays. After several hours play Davis
held his opponents checks for 81, 500.
Then the luck changed and Schwartz quit
the game only 5000 behind.

I have been sick for the last Is years
with complication Of diseases. Rheu-
matism and kidney troubles were very
bad, but heart disease was the worst Of
all. Many times l thought l would not
survive 1t. The sharp, agonizing pain in
my heart would take my breath and
make me dizzy. I had TO catch at things
to keep from falling. In fact, I was an
utter wreck. I tried doctors in Terra

Charlton and Burlington-allopathic,
homeopathic, and every other kind Of
doctors. They used batteries, baths, and
all manner and kinds Of nasty tasting
drugs, but received no benefit at all.

me another. tale as to what he thought
was the matter with me, but that did
not cure me. Going to Seattle, heard Of
nothing but the new Histocenetic System
and Of Dr.. J. Eugene Jordan, It's author.
Having tried all the old, concluded to
try the new, and after few weeks use
Of the above medicine I completely recov-
cred. This was last October. and I have
been able to attend to my duties ever

could not turn in bed. The worst Of all
his heart was greatly effected from II and
il almost stopped his breath. We gave

After giving my boy those medicines for
three weeks he entirely recovered, his
limbs all Strengthened ont again, and he
is perfectly well in every way. That was
ten months ago. As for myself
had an injury to my finger which turned
into carris Of the bone. Several doctors
were employed, but the result was that
the bone kept on eating away. At last
they concluded that In order to save the
hand the finger had TO be amputated. I
bethought myself to DR.. Jordan, obtained
his medicine, and in two weeks time IL
cured the bone disease and retained my
finger. How much suffering and expense
we might have saved had we known Of
