Peoples Party Members of the Legislature
at Home
The Peoples party County Central
Committe and members of that party
held a meeting at Oregon City Satur-
day and endorsed by adopting resOlu-
tions commencing the course of the
Peoples party members of the legis-
llture.
Questions were invited, and an in
QuisistIve member asked how the ex-
penses of those who held out were paid.
U'Ren responded that the members
of the opposition received $50 to 500
Sapiece from a fund that had been
made up by the enemies Of Mitchell.
He himself received $50 from that
source, and got $50 from his father;
his total expenses were about Sl20.
He knew of but one member who got
more than 500 from the fund. He
said Representative Ogle paid his own
expenses out of his wi pocket, and
was the only one who did that.
Ogle made a short. statement of his
position, which did not differ from
that one of U'Ren. He said Senator
Mitchell had tried ia the capitol to
buy two Populists merely to 60 into
the joint convention, so as TO be there,
Offering them $1,000 apiece, and that
ma Populist could have gone into
the convention without virtually
pleading guilty to the charge of being
bought. He accused Representative
Virgil Conn, OF Lake county, Of dis
honesty, because he was opposed to
granting the opposition party repre-
S%entation on the election boards. Re-
ferring to the charges made in a local
paper that U'Ren had been bought
with gold, that Kruse had been influ-
enccd with women and himself with
IA gold watch and chain, he Indignant
tly denied them. He said he bought
his watch with his own money years
ago, and that the SANDER against
Kruse was an insult to one of the
noblest women of Marion county, to
whom Kruse was affianced.
There vas a great deal Of question
ing and numerous interesting points
were brought out. U'Ren said it was
not the primary purpose of the Popu-
lists to kill off Mitchell, but to secure
the passage Of their measures. He
believed, however, that they did right
in thwarting the Republican majority,
though that was done by acting with
Republican minoriay. He himself had
repeatedly offered to stand as the 10th
man, if the Mitchellites could muster
the other 80, to enable them to orga-
niZe.

A CAsKET TRUCK.-A Salem under
taker recently received a valuable
vehicle called the "~undertaker's
church casket truck" 1t is most
substantially constructed of hard
wood and is mounted on two wheels
with cushion tires, besides having a
smaller wheel at the end. 1t is to be
used in removing a casket between
the hearse and the church or resi-
dence in which the funeral services
are being held. BY using this little
truck a great deal of the confusion
and difficulty usually experienced on
such occasions, especially when the
aisles are so very narrow, may be done
away with. 1t is a very neat contriy-
ance.

Most women do not understand their own
bodies, or the things that make them well
or sick. The most frequent cause OF sick
ness in women is the cause last looked for.
A women will go to a doctor when she has
a severe cold, or some acute digestive dis
turbance, but she hesitates and procrasti-
mates when the trouble is with the distinctly
feminine organism. And yet the latter is
infinitely more serious. 1t is the most sef1-

is the most dreadful-the most dangerous.
Its consequence are always serious, and
serious right at the beginning because 1t IS
facilitating. 1t saps the life and strength
and works on the nerves to SUCH an extent
that the whole body is disturbed. Appetite
leaves, the color goes from the face ana
hollows sink into the checks. Irritability
succeeds good temper and fretfulness takes
the place of contentment Little by little
life becomes more and more miserable.
The woman is killing herself with neglect
lust as surely as if she were taking deadly
poison. Perhaps her husband cannot per
suade her 70 go to her doctor, because she
naturally breads the inevitable examina-
tons and "local treatments" He can per
suade her, If she needs persuasion, to take

STEAMER WILLAMETTE LEAVES
The Old Collier Sails with an Immense
Cargo.

Seattle, WASH, Aug. IL. - The
steamer Willamette, with the largest
number of passengers ever carried by q
single steamer to Alaska is now on her
way to Dyea. She carries Sl5 passen-
gers, 200 head of live stock and over
1000 tons of freight.
A seething crowd of people thronged
the wharf to bid goodbye to Klondike-
bound prospectors, and every whistle in
the harbor gave Justify parting salute.
Freight was piled in every conceiv-
able nook and corner. In the hold,
pilothouse, cabins, dining rooms and
staterooms were piled an indiscriminate
mass OF clothing, hay, grubstakes. lum-
ber and supplies of all descriptions.
Down below were the horses, crowded
together in little cubbyholes, called
stalls" only by courtesy. The horses
didn't like the prospect. That is to
say they made considerable objection
before they consented to be swung on
the boat by means of an engine and
large box.
The work Of loading the big steam
ship Willamette began at midnight.
OF the 500 people on board, 800 took
passage here, i75 at Tacoma and 85 at

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins 8 Company. Review
OF Trade.

The short sellers OF wheat have but
a single argument left to support their
views. viz; The admitted fact that the
wheat crop of this country will be at
least 100, 900, 900 bushels larger than
that OF last year. The current news
during the week has been extremely
bullish and developments have materi-
ally strengthened the position of spec.
ulative buyers. Probably the most ini.
portant announcement was Beerhohnl's 5
estimate placing the European shortage
compared with last year at 224, 600, GOD
bushels. This has been emphasized
and confirmed by the active cash de
mand and enormous sales for export
An additional aid in enhancing values
has been furnished by the farmers
stacking their wheat at greater ex-
tent than usual. should the coal min
ers' strike continue fortnight longer
1t will prove powerful, although uns
natural, factor in enhancing values,
and in all probability result in more
serious congestion OF the market for
September delivery than has prevailed
for July contracts. The promise of an
abundant wheat crop in America. the
absence OF competition in supplying
the requirements Of importing coun-
tries, and the consequent increased ex.
port demand for American wheat, all
tend to benefit the American farmer.
Wheat will prove a profitable purchase
on all reactions and the general tend
ency is toward a still higher range Of
values.
The American visible this week shows
decrease of l64, 600 bushels, and now
totals 1850, 900 bushels against 49,
4a9, 900 year ago. There is much to
be said regarding both sides OF the corn
market, but after all is said it is still a
fact that values are extremely low--due
to panic and overproduction. The
growing crop is not yet assured, and
with the enhancing values ruling for
wheat compared with producing years,
the increasing activity in general trade,
corn must participate to greater or
less extent in the general Improvements,
according as the crop promise to be
above or below that OF last year. In
any event, present values promise to be
well maintained, and there is little
II any inducement for speculative short
selling, Should the growing crop meet
with any mishap much higher values
will quickly obtain.

Their Families Are Starving While the
strikers Refuse to work.
Pittsburg, Aug. ll.--Appeals for
food and provisions were numerous at
the headquarters OF the miners officials
in this city today. 1t appeared as il
there was wall from every section of
the district, and miners in person were
present to ask that the suffering ones
be looked after. Secretary Warner was
kept busy answering the appeals. He
said tonight that he had sent more than
81 900 worth Of provisions into various
parts of the district. The appeals are
now coming in from the families, the
heads of which are at the various min
ing camps using their influence to keep
other men from working.
A series of meetings are to be held
all over the district. 1t is expected to
keep up the interest in every section
and strengthen every point where there
is the least indication of weakness.
The vigils on the mines Of the New
York & Cleveland Gas Coal Company
are to be kept up, and the vigor in
creased from day to day.
Early this morning the miners of
West Elizabeth made a march on the
mines of the Elizabeth Mining Com
pany, formerly operated by EIorner g.
Roberts. About 80 men were going to
work. After consultation the men
asked that they be allowed to finish
loading a fiat. They agreed to go out
as soon as it was loaded, which will
take several days. Officials of the
company made an effort to get permis-
sion from the miners officials to con-
tinue work on 69-cent basis. This
was not given, and it is expected that
the mine will be idle as soon as the fiat

Mining Claims.
Toronto. Aug. IA special to the
Globe from Ottawa says the Dominion
government has received several inn
portant decisions in regard to the Yu-
kon country and the working Of the

stream and back to the bank. This has
been reduced to 100 feet, and the new
