MONoTOMY AT SALEM.
Senatorial Situation Is Same as Thurs.
day.

Although the senatorial situation al
the capitol Is exasperatingly monoton-
Gus, the mills OF legislation continue tC
grind without interruption. There Is
absolutely no change in the senatorial
outlook, and even the political wise
acres are no longer venturing guesses
There Is a feeling, however that some
thing will happen soon. This feeling
by the way, though, is also n chest
nut, as some have been affected or af-
fiicted with IL ever since the opening OF
the session.
The first night session held by the
legislative assembly was held Thursday
night. This session was held by the
house for the exclusive consideration
Of charter bills. The session, as might
be expected, was rather dry and tire
some, and while a number of men,
bers embraced the opportunity to take
a snooze, there were still enough on
deck in the possession of their facul-
ties to transact business
After a long and somewhat tedious
meeting held yesterday afternoon the
house committee on commerce was un-
able to arrive at conclusion in refer
ence to the compulsory pilotage bill.
This bill is similar to one before the
legislature two years ago, and its OBJ
Iects are indicated by its title. The
pilots of the Columbia river and Co.
lumbia bar have desired pilotage res
tored to its compulsory basis. All in
terests were given a respectful hearing
before the committee. but even then
the committee was unable to arrive at
a conclusion in reference to the mer-
its of the measure.

NEW CABINET OFFICERS,

Now that the presidential election has
been decided. the most important ques-
lion IS the selection OF trustworthy men
FOR the cabinet and we hope the
changes made will prove beneficial to
the cOuntry's interests. In private life
the people are also making many
changes. FOR instance, in regard TO their
health. When their stomachs become
weak. their nerves unstrung, and dys-
pepsia, indigestion, nervousness and
sleeplessness result, they try this and
that medicine without getting relief.
What they need is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. the only sure cure for these
ailments. and after giving 1t fair
trial. they will be convinced that this
is the medicine they have been looking
for II you are among these sufferers
and want TO get well. try 1t at once.
