that Congress will adjourn without action

business and political associates, own the

Their purpose is to boom these holdings at
the expense of the general government aud
the people of Washington. No one at
tempts to deny these facts. When they
are advanced only one counter cry is heard
-''you are lighting project that proposes
ington; you are disloyal to your state.'
Men and brethren, if we have reached that
point where loyalty is to be measured by
greed and gouging methods, in the name Of
consistency let us demand 900 in
stead of $5, 100000 and be ten times as loyal

Oatmeal and Oranges.

No sort of food is better for the complex
Ion than oatmeal and oranges. The finest
compilations in the world are those of the
Italian and Spanish ladies, who live
largely on coarse-grained food and fruit
like the orange or banana. 1t is said that
the fact is becoming appreciated and that
some ladies, to acquire and preserve a good
complexion, are living almost entirely on
oranges. Half dozen for breakfast, with
a cup of coffee; a dozen for lunch, with a
glass of milk and a saucer of oatmeal, and
a dozen more for supper, with a crust OF
bread and cup of tea, may not be high
living in the proper sense of the word, but
such a course of diet will bring a complex.

a sum bordering on $150OOO. Helfrich is
prominent in the bath business and social
circles He has long held a position of
trust. For several years he has been con-
nected with the Citizens bank, at one time
as cashier, and is grand receiver of the
ancient order of united Workmen of
this jurisdiction. By the defalcation
the order is loser to the extent of about
$1200 Some time ago Helfrich erected a
beautiful home, assuming a heavy mort
gage to pay for the same. In order to meet
the interest he had evidently delved deeply
into the Golfers of the city and when a big
warrant was presented had no ready funds
to meet it, although there should have
been something over $4,000 in the general
fund. This afternoon a meeting of Hell
frich's bondsmen was held, which may re-
sui in his arrest and prosecution tOmOr-
row unless his friends make the loss good.
Bondsmen are five of fOgdens most prom
inent citizens and bond is for $4,000. A
rumOr tonight is that the citizens band
crowded Helfrich to the wall on overdrafts
and used the city money to reimburse itself
with the consent of treasurer. Just what
action will be taken by the city officials
and officers of law is a matter of much

ANOTHER CONVENTION.
The Ledger Demands That the Re-
pubIicans Get Together.

Publtcans get Together.
TACOMA, Aug. 26.-The Ledger in an edi-
torial this morning says: ''Now that the
democrats have espoused the cause of the
whole people in this matter, against the
few, it is imperative that something shall
be done by the republican party and done
quickly, to save the electoral vote, and
perhaps the state ticket with it. 1t is not
too late to do this, and it should be done,
not only in the interest of success at this
election, but of future elections. There is
much at stake. The election of democratic
congressman means votes against the tar
if, and against every high principle of
government which republicans hold to.
The election of a democratic president
means more Vetoes of pension bills, vigor-
GUS and meaningless opposition to all
reasonable silver legislation, and in fact
opposition to all progress. The election of
a democratic state ticket is not for any
reason desirable. There seems to be but
one way to avert it now, and that is to call
new convention, or in some other way, if
it be possible, to repudiate this outrageous
and infamous canal plank, that is certain
ly dragging the party down to defeat.
