A Kansas City man who was married
recently, has relatives in St. Louis
named Damm. At the wedding, among
the congratulatory missives read, was a
telegram from St. Louis saying: "Ac
cept the congratulations of the whole
Damm family. 1
H. S. Turner, of the Dufur Dispatch.is
in the city today, attending to business
natters. He says that the people of
Dufur are folly 88 interested in bowling
as they are in this city. His clabrooms
have a good attendance, and it is a
wonder that some one did not think of
building club rooms in that town long
ago.
On the evening of December 24th "The
South Before. the War" will be pat on
attheVogt opera bouse in this city.
This play has been well received in ev
ery city in the country, and comes
well recommended bv the press and the
people. It will be here on Christmas
eve, which will give everyone an op
portunity to spend the occasion in the
merriest kind of a way, since it is very
laughable throughout.
The work of patting the furnace into
the new Lutheran church building is
about done, and it will be but a short
time until it will be ready to receive the
furniture, wbich has already been or
dered. After the furniture arrives it
will have to be re-painted, which, owing
to the condition cf the weather at pres
ent, will take some time. Abont Feb-
ruary 15th, at the very latest date, this
church will be ready for dedication.
Joseph Knox of Hood River ig in the
city today. He informs na that a new
road is to be ran from Tucker's mill
south, intersecting the old road at Lan
cia' place, and leading into the Mt.
Hood country to Cloud Cap Inn. By
. this road several bad hills will be avoid
ed and it will make a difference of sev
eral miles in distance, making it easier
to reach the Inn from Hood River. As
much encouragement is offered, there is
no doubt that the road will be completed
before the earn met 's traffic begins. -
One of A. M. Williams' windows is
dressed in a very appropriate Christmas
attire. The shepherds are represented
herding their flocks on the mountains,
and above is the angel informing them
of the birth of the Savior. The back
ground ia draped with a beautiful dis
play of handkerchiefs, while the angel,
the shepherds, and in fact everything in
the window, except the sheep, are neat
ly attired 'in the same articles.' Mr.
Jensen, the artist who arranged the
Window, is very original in his ideas, '
and he uses them to a good advantage.
The small boys and girls are excep
tionally lucky, since today is Saturday
and in order to enjoy the coasting they
are not forced to play hookey from
school. We notice one thing, and that
is that this coasting proposition is some
thing like the circus deal, wheie older
people who want to see the show, go in
order to gratify the desires of the chil
dren, as they express it, when they are
really going for their own benefit. So
it is with coasting; if they want to en
joy this diversion they say they go to
see that the little folks do not get hurt.
L. J. Adams, brother-in-law of Al
Coolidge, jr., recently killed by the Van
Pelts, returned to Salem yesterday from
Gold Beach, Curry county. He was
there a few days, looking after property
interests,, and was accompanied by
Joseph Cavanaugh. They report the
Van Pelts are not and have not been
confined in jail. On reaching Gold
Beach at 10 o'clock Sunday night, De
cember 5. Adams and Cavanaugh were
met at the hotel door by the Van Pelts.
It was found that the six Van Pelts and
Hughes, charged with the killing of
young Coolidge, are stopping at the
hotel, at the expense of Curry county,
which is $5 per week each.

Perhaps the happiest and busiest peo
ple in town last week were the children
of the Kindegaften. Added to the usual
Christmas work and anticipations," there
were three birthdays, and those cele
brting them shared them with their
schoolmates. On ' Wednesday Mrs.
Hudson gave a surprise for Thomas and.
his friends at school. A cloth was
spread over the kindergarten table?, on
which were placed the birthday cake,
with its lighted candles, and other good
things which children enjoy. ' While
the children watching the tapers burn
each told what he wished to do, when
grown. It was nearly 5 o'clock when
they left for home, each with a Christ
mas card, a birthday gift from Thomas,
and. wishing him many birthdays as
happy aB bis sixth. "
The following high scores were made
at the Umatilla House alleys for ten

each : Fleming made 58, 58, 59, 64, 60,
60, 61, 82, 56 and 56, making a total of
614, or an averge of 61 and foqr pins for

highest man, made 61, 57, 55, 55, 55, 53,
53, 53, 52, 51, making a total of 545, and
an average of 54 and four pins. These
are very high scores, and there are very
few, if any, bowlers in our city who, can
score such high averages. .
Mr. A. C. Fox, advance agent for the
two powerful, popular and pleasing
dramas, "Hazel Kirke" and "Ticket of
Leave , Man," is in the city today, and
has made arrangements to put them on
at the Vogt on the nights of Saturday,
the 25th, and Monday, the 27th inst.
"Hazal Kirke" had a phenomenal run
of nearlv three years in New York City
alone, and the "Ticket of Leave Man"
is not behind in popularity. We should
congratulate ourselves at having such
dramas rendered in our city.
' In the trial of Allen Logan in Dallas
last week, on the charge of murdering
Enoch Sylvester, the head of the dead
man was produced in court. The prose
cution secured identification of the grew
some piece of evidence, and showed the
jury fractures in the back part of the
skull sufficient to cause death. The de
fense, however, produced as witnesses
three of the physicians who had been
present at the post-mortem, and estab
lished that the careful examination these
physicians had made was with special
reference to establish the fact of whether
or Dot the blow delivered bv-Logan had
fractured the tkull, and each swore pos
itively that at tne post-mortem no such
fractureB. were to be found. The head
turned out to be a' boomerang for the
prosecution, and it probably contributed
to the verdict in Logan's favor.

Late reports from Oregon City state
that the woman who was killed at that
place by a train Sunday evening was
Mrs. Samuel Roake. She was on her
way to church, and as the train -was in
plain view for quite a distance before it
struck her, it is a mystery how she got
in its way. She was 37 years old, and
leaves a husband and four children.
At present Second - street is in as fine

cise, got oat their wheels and enjoyed a
pleasant ride. Good bicycle-riding is
more than most towns (an boast of dur

A few loads of wheat come in daily,
and since the roads have frozen up the
amount seems to increase. A large
percentage of beat remains unhanled,
which the farmers will be forced to hold
over winter, in many cases not because
they wished to speculate by holding for
higher prici 8, but because their facili
ties for hapiing it to market were not
sufficient to if t it here before the roads
became almost impasable on account of
the unusually heavy rains.
Patrons of the Vogt opera house will
have a treat in store in the shape of
Wballen & Martell's mammoth priduc
tion, "South Before the War," which
will appear Friday, Dec. 24th, for one
night only. This play will take the
older inabitants over the road of the
buried past to the time when the darkies
doings on the plantation were proverb
ial. The piece ia made op of four parts,
a plantation as it appeared in the midst
of a cotton picking scene ; a landing on
the Mississippi, at which the- famous
old river craft, Robert E. Lee, arrives,
loaded with the staple on its way. to the
Crescent City. The next scene depicts
a camp meeting, held on Frog Island ;
also an old-time cake walk. In all of
these scenes singing, dancing, and In
fact everything that a fun-loving Darkey
can do, is 'done to amuse the audience.
The company producing this interesting
play is composed of some fifty odd peo
ple, including a Pickaninny band of
seventeen little Darkies, who appear in
several scenes of the play, and also head
the parade of the company.
. Mayee & Crowe have a new thing in
the way of bowling alleyB. It is called
the reversible parlor bowling alley and
is just the thing tor the little folks who
cannot go to the bowling alley proper,
as well as for the ladies who can bowl at
home while their better-half is at the
enjoying himself in the same diverion.
As a proof of the hit that these parlor
alleys have made, we might add that
during a few weeks 2600 have been sold
from the factory, wbich is in Portland,
and at present the supply is not equal
to the demand, "
GERMAN EMBASSY'S INQUIRY.!
For the Antecedent or Paul Franz do
Rohan.
The imperial German embassy at
Washington addressed a letter to Gover
nor Lord, making inquiry as to the "rec
ord and antecedents of the person styling
himself Paul Franz de Robun, who is
believed by the German authorities to be
identical with the swindler who ap
peared about two years ago at Tacoma
and Portland, where be styled himself a
bishop, and subsequently served a term
in jail at Astoria. .'.
It is so long ago since the bogus bish
op operated here that the . police
have altogether lost eight of him, and
they are at the - present moment in
no position to furnish any information
concerning this man. beyond that which
is of notorious publi.; record. . That he
at some time must have studied for the
Catholic clergy ia an indisputable fact,
else he could not have so successfully
imposed on Archbishop Gross and lesser
officials of the Catholic church.
He was a man of superior education,
striking personality and a plausibility of
manner which conspired to infuse con
fidence in his victims. But the . inost
mysterious phase in connection with
his career, when his learning and natu
ral attributes are considered, is that his
rascalities were of the petty larceny or
der, whereas be had all the lequisitea to
render him successful as a confidence
operator of the highest order. .
It is intimated that this bogu9 priest
belongs to a noble German family, and
that at one time he was an officer in the
German army. Bat what prompted him
to leave the Fatherland and come to this
country in the guise ot a priest cannot
be ascertained.
However, the fact that the German
embassy is manifesting so much interest
in the so-called Paul Frat.z de Rohan,
as to institute inquiries- respecting him,
indicates that he is a person of more im
portance than he; appeared 10 b here,
or possibly that Kaiser Wgilhelm's au
thorities may have more use tor. him
than had the Americans.
as being the right thing. Horses can be
used to much better advantage. Instead
of using reindeer, the government ought '
to get together a number of hardy
horses, and sufficient food should be
taken along to feed them. They can da
much better work than reindeer. I
would use sleds for carrying the food for "
the men and provender tor the horses. '
To handle the reindeer expedition suc
cessfully' it would be necessary to have
relay stations established a day 'a jour-
nep apart, with food for the animals at
these stations." This would be a rare -
opportunity to get rid of some of the
worthless Eastern Oregon cayuses, aa
hardier horses than these could hardly
be found, and they could be purchased
much cheaper and would be of mora :
value on such an expedition than rein
deer from Norway. Dalton, speaking
of the best route by which . to take re
lief, said that he would eo over the jChil-
koot pass and then down the lakes and
