CONGRESSIONAL RACE.
Speaker Carter and Senator BrOwnell
to Contest Tongues Seat.
Carter Wants to Be President Of the State
Republican League-Anything
to Beat Tongue.

Anent the congressional situation in
this district, il has become an open Sc.
cret that Congressman Tongues seat
will be contested by several strong can
didates. The Portland Telegram says
that Speaker Carter and Senator Brown
ell are in the field. IL says that Hon.
f. V. Carter, Of Ashland, is expected in
Portland in few days, TO consult with
friends relative to his candidacy for the
State League Of Republican Clubs.
Mr.. Carter mas many friends among
the members of the legislature who
served with him at Salem, and these
generally predict that he will get the
plum he is in quest of. Mr.. Carter's
only formidable opponent is said to be
State Senator Charles w. Fulton, of
Astoaia. However. Mr.. Fulton is not an
avowed candidate, and possibly will not
consent to run.
Mr.. Carter is being groomed by his
friends for the Office of congressman
from the first congressional district, in
opposition to Congressman Tongue, who
now holds this office. As State Senator
Brownell, of Oregon City, however, is
also after the Office, Mr.. Carter will by
no means have a walkover. Senator
Brownell says his ambition is not so
much to fill chair in the halls OF con-
gress as it is TO defeat Congressman
Tongue. II this is all that Senator
Brownell desires, he can perhaps best
accomplish his purpose, II is believed,
by stepping aside for and assisting Mr..
Carter.

MYSTERIOUS polNcs.
A Salem Lodging House the Scene o
Disturbance.

A Salem Lodging House the Scene Of
Disturbance.
For several days the air of Salem has
been permeated with a sort OF nebulous,
lurid glow, and there has been a sibil-
ant whisper, barely distinguishable, Of
crime, disaster and sudden death.
The JOURNAL has endeavored TO follow
these mysterious emanations TO their
source, and it seems that something did
really happen in one Of the Salem lodg-
ing houses when the new year was but
a few hours old
From the information available it
seems that some young man, whose
identity is unknown. was taken into a
room in the lodging house, in the Cot
tle block at about $50 a. m. last Mon
day; that he shortly afterward raised
yell of murder and robbery, called for
bis mother, and made night hideous
with his shrieks; that he was then
dragged out of the room and still kept
up his outcries that he eventually made
his way down stairs, or was dragged
down, and disappeared.
Mrs. Matte Hutcliins and some of
her lady dodgers heard the disturbances
and witnessed some of the performance.
They saw two men bring the supposed
victim, who was evidently drunk or
drugged to the door of the room, into
which he was taken by the lodger who
occupied the room, the third man going
away. Soon afterward the victim COM
menced yelling blue murder, and a
lady across the hall saw the door opened
and the lodger drag the victim out into
the hall.
He was then dragged near the head of
the stairs, and here Mrs. Hutchins in
terviewed him. He claimed to have
been shot, robbed of $l2, and his neck
dislocated, and wanted TO see his mother,
being very incoherent. He appeared to
be about 81 years of age, was dressed in
black and had black moustasche.
He finally started down stairs, sliding
and dragging himself.
A young man who had room there
over night then showed up and was sent
after policeman by the women. He
was unable to find one, but met young
man who it is said claimed to be a
policemen and went upstairs with him.
They routed out the man occupying the
room in which the fracas is said to have
and found him lying dressed
upon his bed, and claiming that he had
seen or heard no one in there.
The lodger in question had rented the
'oom Of Mrs. Hutchins the day before.
,aying a weeks rent, but he has not
,een back since Monday morning.
The police are looking into the matter,
,ut 80 far have not found the combina-
ion

BIO DAYS RUN.
Spreckels' Sugar Refinery crushes 1900
Tons Beets In "a Hours.

Spreckels' Sugar Refinery crushes 1900
Tons Beets in IA Hours.
A correspondent at Watsonville, CAL
sends us the following clipping from the
Watsonville Daily Register:
The big Spreckels sugar mill has
broken all its previous records for crush
ing beets. Up TO last Wednesday its
greatest tonnage for a twelve hour run
was little over 400 tons. In a twelve
hour run OH that day, however, over
1900 tons of beets were sliced, which is
at the rate of 5000 tons in twenty-iour
hours. With the beets that are in the
bins and those that are coming in every
day the present run will continue sew
eral days yet. II is not thought likely
that another lay off will be taken before
the final run Of the season is made.
It seems that a heavy rain set in later,
which interferes with the run, and our
correspondent comments on Jan. / "a
fine New Years gift, is a good steady
rain! The beet men or ranchers wear
long faces, even to old Spreckels."

1.-THE WAY" TO BE USED.
The money power is not obliged to use
cipher key in order to ascertain the
Hanna Heath meaning. Said promi-
nent member Of the national democratic
committee:
Conformation deemed reliable has
reached the democratic national COM
mittee that it Is the design of the repub-
lican national committee at a later day
in the campaign to cause manufacturers,
miners and others to issue public notice
and to notify their employees that in case
Bryan and Stevenson are elected they
will shut down their business and dis
charge their men.
''This deceitful method was resorted to
in 1896. And already certain orders for
manufacturers are falsely declared to be
operative only upon the defeat of the
democratic candidates. Such ruses are
designed to frighten merchants and
coerce employees.
"They are the last resort of men re-

which have the effect of disturbing bust.

"You must elect Mckinley IN YOUR OWN

In other words an official order has
gone forth from Hanna to the money

These outrages consist of intimidation,
coercion and starvation. The official re-
publican order follows in letter sent
out from national republican headquar-
