MESSRS. BLACK AND WOODRUFF TO SPEAK At A
MEETING TO BE HELD BEFORE LONG.
Jacob Brenner chairman Of the Republican Cam
paign Committee. was busy yesterday looking for
suitable rooms for the committees headquarters.
At the meeting Thursday evening vote was
passed establishing a headquarters In the Repub-
lican Executive Committee room in the Johnston
Building. but Mr.. Brenner decided yesterday
that this little altogether too small.
and that more commodous quarters must be Sc
cured He talked the matter over with Commodore
David p. Watkins of the committees clerks.
and looked at several places which had been sug-
gested to them. One of these in Washington
near Fulton. another at Court and Jorale-
mon SITS, and the third was in the building at
Fulton and Jay sts A suite of rooms the
City Hall will be selected within day or two.
and the committee will establish itself there for
the next two months. Another objection TO the
Johnston Building is its distance from the City
Hall This objection will be overcome in the Sc
lection of some rooms within a stones throw OF
the City Hall and Court House.
Mr.. Brenner said yesterday that the Brooklyn
campaign would be formally opened with big
meeting either in the Clermont Lave. rink or in the
Academy of Music at which orator of Ma
tonal would be the chief speaker. Soon
after this meeting takes place another will be held
at which the speakers will be Frank s. Black and
Timothy l.. Woodruff. the nominees for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor respectively Mr.. Bren-
ner gives warning that his campaign is gong 10
be a succession of surprises. The selection OF the
most energetic workers in the party as chairmen
of the Campaign Committees subcommittee Is
a sure indication that the campaign will be a ilvely
one. The five members OF the sub-commlttee on
hall and speakers Messrs. Willis. Turnbull Camp
bell BENJAMIN and Saffen. will visit the National
Headquarters in New-York city early next week
and arrange dates there for the best speakers the

THE ASYLUM CASE
Supreme Court Says Union
Shall Have 1t.
THE BOY WAS A HERO.
He Beat His Drum and Saved
The School Children.

The supreme court Monday trans
mitted decision in the Eastern
Oregon asylum case, reversing the
lower court and dismissing the
complaints. The points decided
are as follows:
First, the case is not brought in
the name of the proper individuals.
1t ought to be brought in the name
of the attorney general or district
attorney of the proper district.
Second, equity deals only with
property and property rights Of in
dividuals and the complaint herein
does not show that such rights have
been invaled.
Third, equity in anyevent would
not enjoin the executive duties Of
the state board; it will only restrain
where the duties TO be perform
ed are ministerial in their charac-
ter.
The opinion is voluminous, COW
ering 80 pages of typo written mat.
ter and was written by Justice
Wolverton and concurred in by the
full bench. There is no feeling on
the subject in Salem. All are
thoroughly satisfied.

WESTON'S NORMAL.
A Statement Which is Very
Interesting to All.
IT COMES FROM WESTON.
Letters of Adoptions Issued
Since 1889.


The following is a communica-
ton which appeared in the Port
land Oregonian, of Friday last;
WESTON, Jan. 21.-[To the Edi-
tor]--Seeing so many articles of
reform in state and county affairs
in the Oregorian, / think few
lines on the manner of conducting
the Eastern Oregon State Normal
School, located at Weston, UNA
tilla county, would not be amiss.
The whole affair seems TO be a
system of jobbery. First, they go
before the legislature and. work
through an appropriation for $16-
0C0-$12,000 expenses for running
the school for two years and $4,000
for the purpose of building board
ing hall. Then after having pur-
chased a part of a block of land,
with the money left over from the
previous two years., paying more
than twice its present value, in
which the secretary of the board Of
regents was interested, they raise
the salary oe all except one of the
teachers by 800 to 5000 per year,
the one exception being the only
lady teacher employed, in whose
salary they made a reduction,
when, at the same time, the direc-
tors Of the public schools in about
all the school districts in the coun
ty are reducing the salaries of the
teachers employed by them.
The reason advanced by some of
the regents for the raising of the
salaries was to pay the teachers for
the time expended by them during
vacation in working for the school,
but it should have been to pay their
expenses while on pleasure trips to
their old homes, as [ believe, these
same teachers put in bills to cover
expenses while travelling in the in
terests Of the school. Whether
Secretary Kincaid allowed the bills
or not, cannot say.
In view Of the hard times, when
it is almost impossible for the peo-
pie to make a living and pay their
taxes, If there is any power in the
state greater than the board ol
regents these things should be in
vestigated. TAXPAYER

Claaninr BLACK Dress Goods.

Every one has or wants q black
gown nowadays, and such goods as
serge, cheviot, cashmere, Henrietta,
ETC.. are easily cleaned. First re-
move the grease spots with naph.
tha, and remember that this fluid
is very explosive when exposed to
either light or fire. Make lather
OF warm soapsuds, using good,

borax to every two quarts of wat
er. Into this dip the goods up and
down and wash between the hands;
then wiring gently and pat partly
dry; hang in the shade, and when
nearly dry iron on the wrong side
with a moderately warm iron.
Always rense once in luke-warm
water, and iron until the material
is perfectly dry. Never rub fab
ric that is being renovated on the
washboard, nor wiring it tight
ly, and in using naphtha remember
that its roughens the hands, and
that after using it it is we'll to put
vaseline upon them and to wear
old gloves. Wash alapaca in the
same manner aS cashmere, adding
a little gum. arabic to the rinsing
water. If the black goods are of a
rusty color restore them by spong-
ing with ammonia and alcohol. AL
ways use a piece of the same ma
