FRANKFORT. KY, March 23.-Today
separate ballots were taken for United
States senator 10 succeed Blackburn. All
morning rumors were rife of the boiling
of six Republican members who would not
support Congressman Hunter, combina-
ton having been mads with some Repub-
l.cana with the Democrats TO elect Gov.
Bradley United States senator. thus caus-
ing vacancy in the governors office and
making an opening for the Democrats
Hunter announced at 10 o'clock that he
would certainly win on the first ballot. Al

The silver Democrats held a caucus to-
night. but did nothing 10 indicate what
course they viii pursue tomorrow. Hunt
er's friends have been bringing every pos
eible pressure to bear on the Republicans
who voted for Boyle today, and claim that
two OF them viii vote for Hunter tomor-
row. The friends of Gov Bradley claim
that three more Republicans will desert
Hunter tomorrow. Neither side gives
names. The Hunter people viii try 20

Municipal Politics at Grand Forks.

GRAND FORKS. 3. c, March "a
general mass meeting OF the citizens OF
Grand Forks was held In the town han
last Monday evening, when Il was the
unanimous wish OF the assemblage that
John A. Manly be the nominee for the
mayoralty Of this city at the coming mu-
niclpal election. The Ave aldermen who
were proposed for nomination were: Al
Manly, DR.. Hepworth. J. IL. Featherstone,
W. X. c. Manly and J. X. Johnson. This
list may be somewhat changed before the
election comes or. SIS the exact date Of the
election is as yet unknown. 1t IS generally
believed that IL will take place the nrst

To postpone at such a vital time a. this

10 lose a day before taking advantage OF
Paine's Celery Compound.
In order 70 avoid disappointment accept
nothing but Paines Celery Compound. A
clerk who tries TO sell something else than
what people ask for Is evidently not disin-
terested. He has an eye to profits more
than to the good of customers.
There can be no substitute for Paine's
Celery Compound.
This has been shown time and time again
In cases where persons, too easily led. have
carried home something besides Paine's
Celery Compound, and have failed TO get
the decided benefit they had hoped for.
The strongest Endorsement ever received
for this great spring remedy--and no rem
edy ever compared with Paine's Celery
Compound in the character and number of

Endorsement IL ever received did not over
estimate or exaggerate IN the least its I'M

TACOMA. March Z.-Judgs Hantorfs
decision in the dredging case was filed IN
the Federal court here today The action
was brought by the Bowers Dredging
Company against the New York Dredging
Company and the San Francisco Bridge
Company. to restrain them from using the
dredge Atlas IN the work OF improving me
harbors OF Everett and Olympia, on the
ground that the machinery and apparatus
Of the Atlas was an infringement on the
Bowers patent
Some months ago the plaintiffs had sp-
piled for an Injunction restraining the de-
PENDANTS from using the Atlas on the work
at Olympia The application was denied
Later second application was made.
Taking up the case here. the opinion says:
In support OF a new application for an
Injunction. IL has been shown that since
the former hearing the decision Of the
United States circuit court for The Narlh-
ern district OF California. tn the case OF
Bowers vs.. Won Schmidt has been affirm
Ell in the circuit court CT appeals for the
Nintn circuit and that the validity or
the several claims OF Bowers 10 the pat
ents involved IN the present suit have
been established by an adjudication and
nuai decree OF the court of last resort.
| find that from the evidence
and documents OF file, that the litigation
between Bowers and Won Schmidt was
carried on In earnest, and. as ali OF the
proceedings in the patent office, from the
trSsF application OF Bowers until the final
issue OF letters patent sued on In this case
were before the court, ] must consider
that the decision cOmprehen0s all the
questions as 10 the compliance. on the
part or Bowers, with the requirements Of
the patent laws, and as to the powers Of
the commissioner 20 issue the patent in
question. Against the defendants that de-
cision Is not conclusive. but n strength
ems the presumption in favor OF the valid
ity or the patents; and as IL was rendered
by the appellate court. which has power
10 review and reverse the decisions Of this
court II is binding and conclusive. In
this wish TO be understood 10 mean that
i VIII not undertake TO set up my judg-
nent IN opposition to a decree Of the cir
cult court of appeals for the Ninth cir
cult.
The work under contract al Everett and
Swinomish slough is exempted from the
Injunction granted against the defendants
who are, however. required 10 file a bond
In the sum Of S. co TO secure the plaintiffs
for the damages which they may recover.
Ii Is understood that this Is the last OF
the cases involving the Bowers patents
The defendants will doubtless apply 10 the
appellate court and perhaps 10 the su-
preme court at Washington Tor rehear-
ing, claiming that they have new evidence
bearing on the questions decided IN the
case or Bowers Us. Won Schmidt. The
Bowers people Will likely sue the defend
ants for damages on their contracts at
Olympia and Everett.
