PROHIS
OUT OF
THE RACE
Congressional and District
Nominations We're Not
Made According
TO Law

Attorney-General Crawford holds
in an opinion handed to the secretary
of state that the nominations made by
the Prohibition party for congress in
the two districts and other district of,
ficers are invalid, because the law pro
vides that the assembly of electors
must be residents of the district for
which the nominations are made, and
the certificates do not show that such
is the case. Just what effect this will
have on the congressional election
cannot easily be foretold, as there are
about 200 voters of that party in this
district alone, and 1t is not known
where the votes will be cast, If at all,
when their nominee cannot be placed
on the ticket.

The Ice Mans Troubles.

Neither the editor, the baker MOI
the candlestick maker have all the
troubles in the world, and the ice man
comes in for his share, the Salem ice
man being no exception to the rule,
The local managers have decided up.
on a way to overcome some Of these
troubles, and are announcing their
methods in this paper. Persons using
100 pounds at a time can obtain ice at
so per cent reduction, while those us
ing less can only secure 8 per cent
discount.
The Journal calls especial attention
to this fact, because yesterday, in its
advertisement, it made the Salem
Brewery Association state that so
per cent reduction would be given in
either case. The reason for the differ,
ence is this, they can better afford to
deliver ice at half a cent per pound
in lots of 100 pounds or over, than to
get a cent and deliver it in driblets
at a few pounds at a time.
Persons buying refrigerators might
do well to bear this fact in mind, and,
by taking the larger refrigerators,
save the difference in the cost in one
seasons ice.
The Journal is glad to announce
that the Salem Brewing Association
is prepared to deliver ice in the resi-.
dent part of the city, and even in the
suburbs, where there is a sufficient
demand.
Look up their startling announce.
ment, and profit by it.

PASSED
FORGED
CHECKS
Ralph Olsen Led a Fast Life
and Needed More Money

Ralph j, Olsen, a young man who
arrived in this city yesterday, was
arrested last evening by the police,
under instructions from the Portland
officers, on a charge of passing forged
checks in that city. Olsen dropped
into Portland a few days ago and
made a good fellow of himself, lush
ing on wine and liquor, finally cash
ing a check at Mel Hamilton's place
in that city. The check was on the
First National bank and was for $40.
Olsen then changed his base Of oper.
ations to Salem, arriving on the
overland yesterday morning. Before
3 o'clock he was compelled to go to
bed, owing to an overdose of liquor,
and about that time the police re-
ceived orders to look out for him.
Laud Hamilton also received a tele-
phone from his father warning him
of the fellow. He was lodged in the
city jail, awaiting the arrival Of a
Portland officer.
Detective Joe Day came up on the
morning train, and will take his pris-
oner to Portland this afternoon. Oh
sen is said to have left quite a trail
through the. West, and is wanted In

Stayten Merchant Arrested
on Charge of Assault
TO Kill

G. d. Trotter, the Stayton merchant
who made a murderous assault on his
wife Sunday, and threatened to end
her life, was taken into custody late
yesterday evening, and when ar
raigned before Justice Queener, of that
town, was placed under $500 bonds.
awaiting his preliminary examination,
which is set for tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock.
The charge against Trotter is as
sault with intent to kill, and, from
the reports at hand, the man seems to
have been suffering from a temporary
ha~llucination. J. A. Carson will rep.
resent the defendant, and ]. H. Nc,
Nary the state, at the Examination to-
morrow.
Trotter has been in trouble with the
city of Stayton for several years, and
at times has thought that various cit
liens were plotting against his life.
He is of a nervous temperament, and
is said to have usually carried a gun
to protect himself from their supposed
plots. The people he accuse Of con-
spring against him are prominent in
the county, and very few ever paid
any attention to his theories.
Mrs. Trotter is still at the home of
relatives in the country, and will re-
main there until she is assured of
protection against her husband.
