ARMER CREDITORS TO LOSE
IN ROUND FIGURES $4,000
At Meeting 1t Is Discovered That As
sets Amount to Only
S2S.O0O

The creditors of the firm of Armer
Brothers & Co. of 19 Main street held
their second meeting yesterday after
noon at the rooms of the Sam Fran
cisco Board of Trade to further dis
cuss the failure of the firm and to get
what light they could regarding the
methods that led to disaster. E. W.
Mccarthy, chairman of the committee
of creditors, asked some questions of
Siegfried Armer, who has been man
aging the business at this end of the
line. Not much additional light was
secured as the result of the days pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. MCCARTHY said after the meeting
that the unsecured claims against Armer
Brothers & Co. had been found to
amount to $4,000 in round figures and
that the secured claims are only about
$4,000. The assets, as nearly as they
could be figured by the creditors,
amount to only s2s,00o. leaving a bal
ance due those who are unsecured of
$4,000, the result of three years of
business operations in this city. Sew
eral creditors questioned Mr.. Armer
about the transactions of his house.
The committee of creditors will prob
ably be ready to report to the body Of
creditors early next week

in the pursuit of the information that

in our State for savings institutions, so
that operations of insurance companies
will be strictly confined to what is purely
insurance business There has been no
disturbance in public confidence in the

THE sENATORSHIP.

Who will be the Republican candi-
dates for senator? Will there be
more than one in Multnomah county?
II so, will either, as against one or
more outside candidates, stand a good
chance of the plurality nomination!
Even if not, and there should be but
one outside opponent, might not the
rest of the state vote so heavily
against the Multnomah man that he
would be beaten? And finally, will
the legislature elect the man nominal
ed, anyway? These are questions
that are agitating the politicians, al
though nobody has as yet made a for
mai announcement of his candidacy
for the senate. If there is an East
ern Oregon man who intends to be a
candidate, as probably there is, he is
very likely waiting to see If Multno-

JUDGE SEARS.

Judge Sears serious and prolonged
illness renders it probable that some
one else will have to be chosen in his
place next spring, though most peo-

Sears is very highly esteemed, not
only by the members of the bar, but
by the people generally, who recog-
nize in him not only an able but an
extremely upright, just and conscien-
tious Judge. It is yet to be hoped that
he will recover his health and become
able to serve another term, but If not
there will be various candidates for
the seat he has so long and acceptably
occupied. 1t is position requiring

! Carelessness in Handling Medicines
Patients have frequently placed b
bottle of medicine to their lips and ia
ken draught Of It's contents in dark
room, under the impression that there
was only one bottle upon that shelf,
the family had placed other bottles
there. In other instances a wife ris-
ing in the night to give some medicine
to her husband or child has picked up
administered a fatal dose.
Pneumonia.-The prevalence with
which this most deadly virulent bac-
terial disease shall attain, will depend
chiefly upon the kind of care people
take of themselves. Those who strive
to keep In good general health need
have little fear of 1t. Drunkenness Is
foremost among the habits Of mankind
that aid in the propagation Of pneu-
monia. Over-eating is another form of

quently and breathing through the
mouth increases the liability of con-
tracing the disease Overheated
houses are the cause of many cases.
If the rule were generally adopted of
never letting the temperature of the
house or office exceed 20 degrees much
less pneumonia would result.
Smallpox.-This loathsome disease
often makes its appearance with cold
weather. The following is said to be

digitalis, one grain sulphate of zinc,
one-half teaspoonful of sugar, four
ounces Of water. Dissolve the digitalis
and the zinc separately, then COM

utmost Importance that the solid ex-
tract of digitalis be used. Some drug
gists say there is no such thing and
use the liquid, but this Is valueless.
The liquid does not produce the re-
suits. The dose is one teaspoonful ev-
erv hour for twelve consecutive hours,
for adults; for a child under ten one
half teaspoonful hourly for twelve
hours and for an infant ten drops ev-

SMALL BARKING.

1t is amusing and even astonishing
to notice how many country papers
and some little people take every pos.
sible occasion to find fault with and
censure unreasonably the Oregonian
and it's editor-in-chief. Perfectly prop
er, true, and even good-natured re-
marks Of that great newspaper are
distorted into expressions Of malev-
olent ill-will, and broad-minded and
clear-headed criticisms OF sham, n.y.
pocracy, cant, subterfuge and sophis-
try are made the basis of vulgar and
virulent attacks. The simple fact is
that while in matters political the
Oregonian may sometimes show in
consistency, and on occasions bias
and where is the daily newspaper that
does not?-it is, as it has always been,
the most courageous as well as the
ablest exponent of truth in regard to
all sorts of things and thoughts and
projects, propagandas and waves"
and movements and trends in this
part of the country, if not in the whole
country.
For instance, because the Oregonian
commended the good work of a fruit
inspector and some fruitraisers in one
county to the attention and imitation
Of those of another county, a paper Of
the latter county accuses the Ore
gonian of spite and malice and mis-
representation. Or again, if with I'M
answerable logic and reason the Ore
gonian exposes the shallow sophistry
and flatulent ignorance of some seven
teenth-rate pulpiteer, he generally re-
spends not with anything in real sup
port of his nonsensical theories or his !
theological balderdash, but with Ia
bored screed vulgarly vituperative Of
the Oregonian, whose editor knows !
more than a thousand like him rolled |
into one could learn in a thousand |
years
But the great newspaper pursues the
even tenor of its high, broad way, and
if not always absolutely right On
every proposition, is a great instruct
or and illumination within its field, as
it has been for half a century.

coURTsHIP IN WIcWAm.
How the Canadian Indian Woes HI,
Sweetheart.

AS there are no cozy corners in a
wigwam, 1T is the Saulteaux custom
for maiden to converse with her suit
or under cover Of blanket, which
screens the young lovers from the gaze
of the other occupants of the lodge.
But old Noo-koom, The Knowing One,
was well able to judge from the gen
eral contour of the blanket Just how
the courtship was progressing. Early
in the evening the blanket always
hung in a digniied way, as though
draped over two posts set a little
apart. Later, however, the posts often
lost their balance and swayed about In
such manner as to come dangerously
near collision; and, If Noo-koom did
not cough or poke the fire, the blanket
would sometimes show that one sup
port had given way. One night. when
Noo-koom woke up from a nap, she
found that both the supports Of the
blanket were in immediate danger of
collapsing. Selling the headquarters
of a frozen fox by the ankles, she
leaped up and belabored the blanket
so severely that it lost no time in re-
covering its proper form.
In a few days Noo-koom became
convinced that the lovers had 'sat I'M
der the blanket"-or been engaged
long enough. Now they must "sit to-
gether upon the brush"-or be mar
ried. Accordingly, she talked the mat
ter over with Standing Wolf and his
wife, Ko-ko-kay. They agreed with
the old woman. Ko-ko-kay called Mi
mace in and told her that At-tick was
good boy, that he would certainly
make a good hunter, and that, If she
would sit upon the brush with him."
they would give her plenty of marrow
grease for her hair and some porch.
pine quils for her moccasins. They
might even buy her some ribbon,
beads and silk thread for fancy work.
Furthermore. her father would help
At-tick to secure enough moose skins
to make a lodge covering. Mi-na-ce
