Like rats deserving a sinking snip,

rather unusual paper was handed
to High Sheriff Henry for service this
morning. 1t is in the case of II. r.
Mills, the notorious bill collector,
against Charles Baker, of Wailullu,
who is now in this city. The amount
claimed is 500, which is for med cal
services rendered by DR.. Howard
Humphris, who has assigned the
claim to Mills. The unusual part is
in the fact that all the banks in the
city have been named as garnishees.
The executive officers of the First
National Bank, Yokohama Specie

Spreckels & Company, and Bank OF
Hawaii, must all appear in court and

OREGON'S ELECTION
Republican Legislature Must Send
Democrat to Senate.

Portland, Ore, June 3.-Indica-
tions point to the election of solid
republican legislature which at the
same time will be morally bound to
elect a democratic United States sem
ator. This unusual situation is rea-
sonably certain to be the result of the
state election.
The majority, if not all, of the dele
gates to the legislature pledged them
selves to send to the United States
senate the choice of the people as ex-
pressed by the popular vote for sena-
ator. Although figures so far re-
ceived are too meager, all indications
point to Governor George E. Cham
berlain, the Democratic candidate for
United States senator, as being the
popular choice. He has evidently
carried Multnomah county by ma
jority of 1900 over Judge Henry M.
Cake, the republican aspirant.
Ellis, republican, has been elected
to congress from the second con-
gressional district over j. A. Jeffrey,
democrat, and w. G. Hawley has
carried the first district.
Prohibition, it is believed, has car
ried in nearly every county in which
it was an issue.

No 500 Exemption.

st. Paul-The attention of the as
SCISSORS throughout the state has been
called by the tax commission to the
law which provides that where no re-
turns of personal property are made
to the assessor the usual 500 exemp-
ton shall not be allowed.
This law has been generally disre-
garded, but assessors have been in
structed to see that 1t is enforced.
The law provides that the allowance
shall be made only when returns are
made.
The assessors have also been direct
ed to list all personal property in the
various classes and not in lump sums.
