When all the factors peculiar TO the
coming election are taken into consider
alton there Is but little encouragement
in the totals OF last year for the Demo-
cratic party.
In 1895 the total vote cast was l6, 75i ana
out Of this the Mayor received 1904 and
the Repu blican nominee 7Oi7. The Nc
Guinness plurality was sS7. The plu-
rality against him OUTSIDE of the Third
and Tenth Wards WAS 1927. There was
no popular uprising in iayor OF Mayor

There were 57s1 stay-at-homes and
these were principally in the Republi
can Wards. For instance, in the first
district of Ward Seven, one of the Re-
publican strongnolds, there was but 81
per cent. Of the total vote cast, in the
first and second districts of the Fourth
Ward the percentages OF the vote cast
were respectively 81 and 90 while in the
first or Democratic district of the First
Ward there was IS per cent. out,
and in the third district OF the
Third the vote reached S4 per
cent. of all qualified. Practically
ell of the Democratic vote which is ever
available was cast while on the other side
there was a reserve of from 80 to 80 per
cent. That vote Is coming out this year,
and it is a straight Republican for all can
didates from President of the United
States down TO Harpor Msster of the city
OF Provijonce. So much for the bUO0 and
odd stay-at-homes.

There were 1878 votes wasted one year
ago. Three-fourths of them were cast by
Republicans. They were given to Mr..
Henry q. Clark, who represented no party
whatever, and whose candidacy was the
result of sheer cussedness, rather than an
expression of any principle. Mr.. Clarke
is not a candidate this year, and there is
no other aspirant in the field TO furnish
a ch9pnel in which votes may run to
waste. 4 larger part OF his 1878 votes
are estimated for MIR. Coyell.

HE FELL FROM GRACE
"IwO-Bit Billy" Parsons Steals From
His Benefactor.
DRUNK FOR EIGHT YEARS
Once He Took the Kelley Cure.
but Gave IL Back, but This
Time He Takes Some
Books and is jagged.

1.-TWO Bit Billy" Parsons, who has been
running Callahan the Bum a very close
second for notoriety during the last few
wears. was arrested by Detective
Neikleiohn last evening on a charge OF
petty larceny, and there is little doubt
that he will retire from public gaze and
red whiskey for some time. The Of
Tense with which he is charged is about
the meanest one could imagine. and it
is unfortunate that the new codes do
not provide a more severe penalty for
it. Billy has a chronic thirst for whis-
key that is remarkable and his life for
the last seven or eight years, with a
single intermission of "a few weeks, has
been one continual drunk. He kept just
about so drunk all of the time and sell
dom got so full that he could not navi-
gate. He gained his sobriquet of Two
Bit Billy" by habitually striking every
one he knew for two bits and he de-
rived enough from this source of reVe-
nue. to keep him supplied with liquor
He is no respector of persons, ana When
he sidles up to man and generally re-
quests the donation of a quarter, he
seldom experiences much trouble IN
getting it, If the money is not produced
promptly he walks alongside of the
man until he gets tired of hearing his
tale of woe and smelling his breath ana
digs up the two-bit piece.
About two years ago Billy took the
Kelley cure and braced up wonderfully
for a short time. Every one was glad
TO see the pronounced change in him,
and he had no trouble in securing
work For a few weeks he seemed to
take a pride in carrying his diner buck
ct through the streets to show people
that he had turned over new leaf, but
il did not agree with him to be sober.
and he soon fell from grace. He drank
so hard at first that it nearly killed him
and he was picked up for dead one
night and taken TO the police station.
Two or three doctors said that he would
be dead before morning, but he fooled
them and lived. A short time ago he
took the idea into his head one day
when he was not quite so full as usual
that he would like 10 try another dose
of reform and DR.. J. c.. Heine offered
to give him some new remedy for
drunkenness free of charge. As il did
not cost anything and as one of the fea
lures of the treatment was that he
should be given all of the whiskcy ho
wanted Billy accepted the proposition
He soon grew sick of his bargain. how
ever, and yesterday he stole 10 medica
books valued at s. 80 each from his ben
efactor. DR.. Heine. and sold them al
! Jackson's second hand store.
Detective Meiklejohn recovered tn,
books soon after the robbery was re.
ported and Billy's arrest followed. Billy
| has always prided himself on his hon.
| esty, and this Is the first dishonest act
| of which he has ever been accused. HI
will be arraigned before Judge Turner
| to-day.

MRS. CODY.
The Missing Woman Apparently Never
Left Tacoma.

Portland Oregonian: The disappear
ance Of Mrs. Grace Cody, the wife or
Arthur r. Cody of Chicago, who left
the home of her parents in Tacoma one
week ago to-day, remains shrouded IN
mystery. The theory that the woman
had arrived in Portland last Tuesday.
having walked from Tacoma to this
city. was found to be incorrect yestef-
day morning. The woman supposed 10
have been Mrs. Cody was another per
son and she was traced to the residence
of a family at Woodstock by Captain
Andrew Holmberg of the police depart
ment. who was accompanied by the DIS
tracted husband.
The ground for supposing that the
unfortunate woman had made her way
to Portland was a rumor coming from
a Northern Pacific switchman, VINO
claimed to Identify Mrs. Cody from a
picture shown him, as woman he had
seen walking along the track Tuesday
afternoon. Yesterday morning Mr. Co
DIV. Detective Ike Evans of Tacoma
and C +. Goodrich, a brother of the
missing woman, returned to Tacoma.
satisfied that any further search In THIS
vicinity would be fruitless.
Chief of Police Mimic has returned 10
his former belief, that when Mrs. Cody
| is found IL will not be far from Tacoma,
and that she will be dead. When first
| he heard of the mysterious woman
making her way afoot along the ran
| road track and the further report that
such a person had actually arrived IN
! Portland he felt inclined TO believe
| that if the woman was found 1t would
| be Mrs. Cody. The probability seems
more than likely that. suffering from a
| severe attack of nervous prostratlon,
| Mrs. Cody has killed herself.
This theory is in a measure sustaih' q
| from the fact that when she left the
| home of her parents. in South Tacoma,
| i'm a buggy, she drove TO the city, urd
| the horse on Pacific avenue and shortly
| after dropped out of sight. The same

SUCCE S9EUL
A Test of the Virtues of the Nsw Acety-
Ienn MAde Llefor. an audi. nee.

lene Made Iiefor an Audience.
An exhibition of the wonders Of
acetylene gas as an illuminant was
made last evening in the j. f. Kelly
store in West Park street. Hundreds
of people called in there during the
evening and were much interested in
the tests. Messrs. John $. NJ. Nell and
John A. Upper of Helena conducted
the exhibition. The room showed the
different lights, and so far as brilliancy
was concerned, no doubt was left that
that acetylene on exhibition far sur
passed both ordinary gas lights and
the electric lights which were burned
close to them. A test was also made
ing between ordinary gas and acety-
lene. Each was passed successfully
through Jets of the same size. While
the acetylene gas burned brightly the
same volume of ordinary gas burned
very dimly. Another test was made in
regard 10 the diffusion of the light, and
it was shown that the acetylene IL
lumines underneath to the floor and
the gas throws no light TO the floor
A number of questions We're asked
respecting the reports of the acetylene
being a dangerous explosive. These re
ports were denied emphatically by the
gentleman conducting the exhibition
and il was stated that the acetylene
gas has the same properties as ordi-
nary gas. and is just as liable to acct
dents as ordinary gas, and no more.
If properly handled there Is no danger.
