The railroad siatlon or the O. W. P.
lint at Eiai31a was hcld-up and robbed
at K oclo k lst night, l-y two masked
highwaymen who aandhaaged P. S. Kelly.
tli station agent, and robbed lilnl of

dHiksirss and now Special Agent Mills,
of tlx- railroad company, and Sheriff
Stevens and a number of bis deputies
are jtnioTiK a searching PJirty hlch is
trying to find a trace of the fugitive
robbers.
Tlie robh-ry was not known in till city
until nearly an hour after tlio episode,
when rvw of tt wa telephoned, by Mr.
Kcllj . who terribly shocked by his
experience and could give only a mgr
account of the affair. lie had been un
conscious during all thin time.
Krnn thf reports received last niaht it
la bllecd that Mr. Kelly is badly in
jured and Mill probably be confined to his
home for smiie tmie as a result of the
an fill beatlnc over the head he received
al the hands of Hie two thugs.
According to 'he version of the affair
received al tne office of the railroad
company. Kelly was alone ir. the station
at the lime. He had been at work on his
books and went put on tlie plalform to
put seals on several packncs Of freight,
outside he was confronted by two masked
nr-n who ordT. d him to put up his hands.
When Kelly saw that the men possessed
no firearms he rslstd. One of them held
a sandbag behind his back and producing
It at the tin.! movement Kelly made, he
rained blows on the defenseless man's
head.
Owing to the darkness Kelly was un
able to gt a good hoik at his assailants
and tlierefme supplied a poor dtscrlpllon
of them. Most of ihe money t'ney ohtain
ed was takn from Kenya poekMs. The
siierlfrs forces have develop d the theory
that the perpetrators of the robbery are
resld-nts of h(aeada who are familiar
with Kelly's habits. Two hours before
the robbery Kelly had turned over a
large sum of mon-y to the general super
intendent of Hi compauy.

Ex-Senator Gearln opened the cam
paign for the Democrats In this city
tonight. He spoke at the Courthouse
to a crowd that filled the large Circuit
Court room to overflowing; and which
frequently compelled him to wait
until the applause ceased.
Almost every mention of Bryan's
name was greeted with cheers. Thus
far local Democrats have manifested
far more enthusiasm than the Repub
licans. CHICKERINGSAT DISCOUNT
On only two occasion during the paet
nine years haa there ever been oppor
tunity to buy the Chickering piano under
price. Now we offer a third chance.
Arthur Rosenstein, the wonderfully
gifted pianist for the Metropolitan Quar
tette, personally selected, upon arriving
here, one baby grand and four Chicker
1ng uprights for use of the artists at th
Portland Hotel.
In bringing these pianos down the ele
vator two of the Instruments sustained
slight mars to their caees.
Of all fine pianos Chickerings are the
finest. If there is any choice in Chicker
ings. these must be the choicest.
The possession of an Instrument used
with complete satisfaction by any one
of these world-renowned artists should
add rather than detract from their worth.
We have decided, however, to place all
of these Instruments on sale in Recital
Hall, and they will be sold at an actual
discount of f) on each piano; J-0 saved
Is surely earned.
Where are five well-to-do homes In
Portland or vicinity who will take quick
possession of these beautiful instruments?
For the additional simple Interest these
Chickerings can be bought on two or
three years' monthly payment plan if
not convenient to pay all cash. Biers

Josseljn's Resignation lcnled.
A general rumor has been current to
the effect that B. S. Josselyn has re
signed as president of the Portland
Railway. Light A Power Company and
that C. F. Swlgert. president of the Pa
cific Bridge Company, has been ap
pointed his successor. The report Is
denied emphatically by Mrs. Josselyn
and aWto by the local officers of the
company. Mr. Josselyn Is expected to
return to Portland tonight from a busi
ness trip to New York. Mr. Swigert
also Is out of the city and will not re
turn from San Francisco until Tuesday.
Friends of the latter profess to know
nothing of the reported change In the
presidency of the local company and
express their doubts that Mr. Swigert
would accept the position even ehonld
It be tendered him.

the committeemen that business men and
firms generally responded immediately to
their requests for subscriptions, and that

as soon as it was possible to visit the
desired number of persons.
Additional committees will be named

FARMERS COMPANY.
Petition That Concern Be Declared
Bankrupt Loss of Wheat and
Oats Is Charged.
A petition praying that the Albany
Farmers' Company, of Linn County, be
declared bankrupt, was filed before the
United States Court yesterday morning.
The petition was filed by the Eugene
Mill & Elevator Company, and the al
legation Is made that the Farmers'
Company disposed of oats and wheat
stored by the owners In their ware
house and that the Farmers' Company
defrauded the owners by disposing of
the oats and wheat and refused to give
an accounting. The petition sets forth
that the Faimers' Company recently
disposed of a portion of its assets by
selling property to Albert Freersken.
The Eugene Mill & Elevator Com
pany says it purchased and stored with
the Farmers' Company 8214 bushels of
wheat. A portion of the wheat, It Is
alleged, was shipped, but that wheat
valued at .2763.63. which the Farmers'
Company refused to deliver, was sold
by them and no accounting made to the
Eugene Mill & Elevator Company.
William Long, a grain buyer, also
makes a serious charge In the petition.
He claims to have lost 873 bushels of
oats. Mr. Long says he sold his ware
house receipt to J. R. Baltimore and
that when thla Receipt, signed by the
Farmers' Company, was presented to
the bank on which It was drawn, pay
ment - was refused. R. A. McLogan
also Joins in the suit. He alleges he
