THE CONVENTIONS WORK.
Opposition to a Lobby ing Delegation
The Old Name Retained.

ELLESsBURGH, Jan. S.-The discus
sion over the admission OF delegates,
though serious, was somewhat ludi-
crous. Ii was started by Col. Squire
and lasted half an hour. Sheriff
Bowles OF Walla Walia happened 10 be
on the train with the Seattle delega-
ton, and they asked him to step of
here and they would try to get him
into the convention. despite the fact
that his county declined 10 send dele
gates. So when the Temporary organ
ization had been effected Col. Squire
moved that citizens from such csun-
ties as had not had time to call con
vention and elect delegates, owing 70
limited notice, be admitted and east
the vote of such county.
Col. Haines moved an amendment
that the names OF the citizens be
handed to the committee on creden-
tials. The amendment was accepted.
Then G.. II. Hanford moved another
to include the five northern counties
OF Idaho. This was also accepted.
There was q long discussion on each
amendment.
In speaking for his motion Squire
mentioned sheriff BoEles' name.
Judge Jacobs opposed the idea OF ad-
mitting citizens vi county which had
refused to send delegate. Finally a
motion to admit everybody who
wanted to come prevailed, and a hearty
laugh went through the convention
when the chairman appointed BoSles
hiInse eli on the com mitiee on cre1en-
tials. This was about IL O'Clock.
Rosles. irritated at Judge Jacobs
remarks, took the east-bOund train tor
ONE half an hour later, and Walla
Walla was unrepresented.
When the report Of the committee
on permanent organization vas reai,
Col, squire ro.e to offer . minority
report. He suggested ;. A. Wheel
wright as permanent chairman, in
stesd OF himself NheslwTight
claimed the privilege Of explaining
that the com stiittee had overcome Col.
-guire by force of numbers, and rec
optmended him against his own
wishes. Judge j. r. Hoyt and Mr..
Wbeel1rigRt escorted Col Squire to
the chair.
CHAIRMAN seUIRE's ADDRESS.
The permanent chairman thanked
the convention for the honor which
had been thrus. upon him. and gave
the familiar quotation as to how the
three wise men acquired greatness.
He expressed pleasure al the spontan-
eity which Characterized this im-
promptu movement. IL bespeaks

WITHDRAWAL OF AGENTS.
1t Is Not Thought School Book Publishers Will
Generally Adopt That Plan for the West.

1t is said that the wholesale school-book
publishing houses in the East have agreed
to withdraw their special agents through
out the Western States on or about the
18th of thismonth. with the idea of transact
ing all business directly by orders through
the main houses. Should this be the case
the profit to the publishers. it is claimed.
would be greatly increased, but by local
book men the plan is not looked upon as
being plausible one g. H. Coffin, repre-
senting Houghton, Mifflln d Co., of Boston,
was in the city last night, and when ques-
toned by n Journal reporter concerning
the proposed change. expressed his sur
prise as well as doubt that any such action
had been contemplated. I'VE have" he
said. "a special agent in each State
of the Union to look after the
sale of school books, and can say with au-
thority that they have not received any
orders to quit work. 1t may be that all
special agents in Indiana alone will be dis
missed, but in no other State will 1t occur,
simply because in no other State is the
schOol-book situation as it is here. The
way the books are controlled now in Indi-

FOOD FROM PRIME SOURCES.
Reasons Why Strictly Vegetable Diet Is to
BE Preferred to Animal Food.

Reasons Why Strictly Vegetable Diet Is to
BE Preferred to Animal Food.
Longman's Magazine
The food which is most enjoyed is the
food we call bread and fruit. In my long
medical career, extending over forty years,
/ have rarely known an istance in which
child has not preferred fruit to animal
food. have been many times called upon
to treat children for stomachic disorders
induced by pressing upon them animal to
the exclusion of fruit diet. and have soen
the best results occur from the practice of
reverting to the use of fruit in the dietary.
] say it without the least prejudice, as a
lesson learned from simple experience, that
the most natural diet for the young, after
the natural milk diet, is fruit and whole
some bread, with milk and water for
drink. The desire for this same mode of
sustenance is often continued into after
years, as if the resort to flesh were forced
and artificial feeding, which required long
and persistent habit TO establish as per-
manency, as part of the system of every
day life. How strongly this preference
taste for fruit over animal food prevails is
shown by the simple fact of the retention
of those foods In the mouth. Fruit is re-
tanned to be tasted and relished. Animal
food, to use a common phrase, is "bolted-"
There is a natural desire TO retain the de-
licious fruit for full mastication; there IS
