THIS AFTERNOON
Bill to Reduce the Salaries of District
Attorneys Has Been Made Spec,
iaI Order for Four O'clock and Its
Opponents Are Preparing to Make
Things Interesting for Its Pro-
mOterS.

SALEM, Feb. 2.-The greater portion of
the forenoon session of the house today
was given up to hearing reports of stand
ing committees. In addition to this,
two bills were passed and eight new bills
introduced.
The bills passed were those fby Curtis,

passed at the special sessioniso as to con-
form with the regulations agreed upon
by the joint fisheries committee, and by
Myers, to apply to, the military fund
all moneys that may be received from
the government for Transportation
and equipment of the Second Oregon
volunteers.
Bills were introduced as follows; By
Ross, to prohibit the destruction and
injury of records or property on public
lands; by Butt, to amend the code rela-
tive to the sale of liquors so as to require
license for the sale of any quantity,
whether less than gallon or more; by
Young, to authorize the levy of a dig
trict road tax not to exceed 10 mills in
road districts not embraced in incorpcr-
ated towns of 1000 population OF. over;

There promises to be lively time over
the passage of the bill, as the salaries
paid are considered exorbitant.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Means.
MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS-
PEPSIA TABLETS.

No trou BILE Is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines. The
real seat of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the symptoms of stom-
ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much as in
nearly every organ. In some cases the

heart palpitates and is irregular; in 9TH
ers the kidneys ara effected; in others
the bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with loss
of flesh and appetite with accumulations
of as, sour risings and heartburn.
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak
ness or disease except cancer of the
stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas,
loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation, heartburn, constipation and
headache.

other tools driven by compressed air
in the government shipyards, and that
this decision is creating a great COM
motion among members of the Eng
lish trade unions, who apprehend that
these labor-saving devices will throw
large numebr of men out of work. A
decision to adopt American tools of
these kinds has been expected for a
long time among the makers of them
here, and there is reason to believe
that within a short time a great num-
ber of them may be added to our ex-
ports to the older countries
Inquiries made in New York by the
Commercial show that the British war
office has already become heavy pur-
chaser of tools of this sort, presumably
for the Woolwich arsenal shops; that
the Midland railway has just ordered
an equipment of them for it's car works
and that many private shops are add
ing them to their equipment. ...
The German government has already
adopted them in it's shipyards and rail-
way shops, and shipments are being
made to it's naval department at the
present time. American air compress
ors have also been recently ordered for
use in Paris in connection with the mu-
nicipal sewage system, for use in the
Lancashire and Midland districts in
England, for shops in Berlin and to op-
crate tools in the oil fields or Bahia, in
Brazil.

ELECTRICITY IN MINING.

N UT at the famous gold mining
camp Of Cripple Creek, Colorado,
~ electricity plays a most important
part. Hid in the heart Of the noun
tains, far away from the great cities,
Cripple Creek has advanced marvel
ously in the use of electricity, the most
modern source of light, heat and power.
In referring to this peculiar condition
of affairs, the Engineering Magazine
says: Cripple Creek is perhaps the
only gold mining district in the world
where a miner can 60 to his work In an
electric street car, descend the mine In
an electric hoist, keep his mine dry
with an electric pump, do his work by
an electric light, run drills operated by
electric air commpressors (possibly in
time to be superseded by direct electric
drills) and fire his shots by electricity
at a switchboard remote FROM the point
of explosion"
It is estimated that this use of elec-
tricity as compared with the employ
ment Of steam results in a saving OF
from Is to so per cent according to cir
cumstances. By this it appears evil
dent that electricity is revolutionizing
the mining industry Of this country
and the example set by Cripple Creek
will gradually, be followed all over the

G. ONE idea of the wonderful growth
y of iron and steel manufactures in
~ this country during the last twen-
ty years may be gained from the fact
that in 1880 the production Of pig iron
was only 3,835,191 tens, while this year
it reaches 14,000,000 tons. In 1880 the
imports Of iron and steel manufactures
were s71 1,266,699, while this year they
footed up only $12,09S,239. Local mills
supply this difference of nearly 100000,
900 annually, and in addition provide
for the increased business of two de-
cades of growth. Besides this the for
eign trade in iron and steel has grown
from s14,716,524 in 1880 to $93, ,951.
Thus in two decades the iron and steel
trade of the United States has been
turned upside down, our exports now
being over s2O,0Oo,OO0 more than our
imports in 1880, while the imports now
are $2,OOO,OOO less than the exports
then. The United States now pro-
duces two-fifths Of the pig iron of the
world, or more than Great Britain,
France and Belgium put together.

Loeb arrived they took the horses out

leans with drawn revolvers. They
threatened to shoot the first man that
attempted to lay hands on Kruger. He
has never forgotten that kindness.

ger said to me through his secretary:

there is a small nation here, loving
their country and their liberty, that
idolizes the American flag and the free
institutions of the country. May the
United States ever prosper and remain
true to the principles of her forefathers

In Heroic Attitude.

When Sir John Steel, the noted Eng

ton sitting for statute he wanted to
get him to look warlike. All his efforts
were in vain, however, for Wellington
seemed, judging by his face, ever to
have heard of Waterloo or Talavera.
At last Sir John lost patience some-
what, and this scene followed:
"As I am going to make this statute
of your grace, can you not tell me
what you were doing before, say, the
battle of Salamanca? Were you not
galloping about the fields cheering on
your men deeds Of valor by word and
action?"
"Bah!" said the duke in evident
scorn, "if you really wat to model me

In Germany the public telephone costs

charges SO year for a telephone con-
nected with every city in the kingdom,
and placed gratis in any domicile.
Switzerland charges $24 the first year,
$40 the second and SIG the third year

Many Changes to Take Place in the
Next Five Years. .

, States will soon be in peaceable posses
sion Of the Philippine islands and the
people there will be prepared for the
settlement of the difficulties that now
exist. What other changes are to come
in the future?''
New mechanical power will come to
the people rapidly. If what is predict
ed of liquid air should come to pass, il
will revOlutiOniZe many industries. But
methods of transportation will witness
very soon a great change. The auto
mobile is close at hand. They are, in
fact, here now. These will be followed
very soon by good roads on which tens
oe thousands Of men will be employed
The demand will be so great for work
men on roads as to cause the liberia
tion of great numbers Of men now in
prisons, who will be paid wages suf-
ficient to keep them honest
What other changes, DoctOr?"
"PrOminent men will have disappear
ed in a few years. They will be here
but the educational influences, going
forward, will so elevate the masses up
to their level that they will disappear,
just as great men sink into obscurity in
large cities.'
What about syndicates?
"They will be another reason for
their disappearance. Business men, now
prominent in the commercial world,
will be absorbed in the great combines
and their identity will be lost. The in
dividuality and identity of all promi-
nent men is now rapidly passing"
what of labor conditions, Doctor?'
Claws relating to arbitration will be
passed which will make it imperative
for parties who disagree to submit to
arbitration, and the decision Of the
board will be final.Had there been sucl
Ia law at the time Of the Pullman strike
justice would have been done, transport
ts.tion throughout the country would
not have been deranged, and Pullman
would have saved his reputation"
what about shortening the hours?"
eve are close to the time when all
persons above the age of 60 years will
be pensioned by the government and
relieved from labor and competition
with younger persons. 1t will be but
short time when only those between
the ages of sixteen and sixty will en-
gage in active productive employment.
That will so 81 catly relieve competition
as TO make conditions better for labor
people,"
'What about--?'
t.Mr. Williams, The time is up. My
train starts in q few minutes. We will
compare notes again five years from
this time. If one Of us, in that time
shall have passed into the beyond, we
