E EX- said to be one of the most wonderful plays ever written. The plot aad characters are different from any thing yet presented here by this clev er bunch of players. The play is called "For Her Sisters Sake." Local Ludles Exerting Every Sene Center to Get Results. HOPPIXG ALONG SOME. One drunk, one arrest; three ar- trip to the penitentiary; three trips to the penitentiary, one sentence for life. This is the route many of the booze fighters of Walla Walla are now trav eling. The trip which is a direct one, was mapped out by the last legisla ture. This act was one that was much needed. Before Its enactment the common every day drunk was either fined or sent to Jail and as soon as his term had expired he would be up again, "Johnny on the spot." Ac cording to the new law the prisoner is sent up for being drunk, as usual, but after he has been arrested three times ,the drunkeness charge is drop ped, and a charge of vagrancy is made against him. All the evidence neces sary for a conviction is the exhibit of the police docket showing his name the three times. He is then sent to Jail. When he is arrested the thrid tlina on a vagarncy charge, this charge Is dropped and he Is sent to the pea. F0B9IDS DEATII.SLEEP. To be put to sleep by her hypnotic husband culy to be awakened by him on orders from the police was the ex perience or "Arzullia," In Pendleton. Only three of the 30 hours had pass ed when It was discovered that Ore gon had a state law ugaLisl permit ting such displays, und tlie young woman was awake:tc-d, much to her own and her husband's chagrin as well as tie disappointment of several hundred people who luade it a point to pass the window !n the course of the evening. If ignorntxe of the la .v Is to ex cuse, the show managers may yet be prosecuted for their ails In La Grande. ?S-fr All irrigated laud In Umatilla coun ty is now being listed and t'.ie data will soon be added to that ctuceru 1n the same subject vrh!th 1: !i-;'.v in the ollice of State Kngineer .loh:i Lewis at Salem. Special Aid Meeting. The Ladies Aid society of the Methodist church will meet In spefia1 fcission at the home of Mrs. (leorjo C'uiTey tor.ioi'i'uw at 2:"i o'clock. The preliminary plans for the Im provement of Riverside park were re ceived today from Portland. These plans are sin:;-!; for consideration by the association, to bo approved or re jected in part or wholly by them. The plans v...: o framed and put on exhibition from now until the park bazaar, where they will be shown and fully explained to any one interested. On the east side of the plan is shown the land owned by J. B. Stod dard, which he has offered to the as sociation at 100 an acre. This land comprises between two and three acres nnrt rnntntna anmo ti.n handsome trees and the outlet of the waterway which now runs through the park and which, when the dam is put In, will be the finest feature of the landsape. It requires but a short study of the plan to see htat much money and time will be required to perfect it but, shall we give it up on that ac count? This is not a temporary structure, put up at a vast expense for a day, a week or a month, but something which generations yet to come will enjoy and which we ourselves who are helping to build it now, will en Joy more and more each year. Every dollar spent will be for n permanent improvement, no money will be wasted. Plans will be adopt ed nml no labor lost. Many of the trees shown in the pint are already there and much of the shrublery too. The driveway will cost less than in many places on account of gravel so near the sur face. The woodwork Is all to be rustle, left in natural color. All can see the need of money. The ladies are doing their part. Never before In the his tory of La Grande were such efforts being made to make a bazaar a suc cess. A hundred ladles have been working from four days to four months to make this a paying ven ture. The merchants have done their share In their usual generous man ner. The farmers are contributing, and the wholesale houses have been more than generous. It is now up to the general public to patronize the Uuzaar. There will be plenty of ways, cooked food can be taken home and plenty to eat while you wait, will be found there. Produce of all kinds us well as fancy articles and ! j ADDITIONAL LOCALS. t Frank Wade, one of th'j prosperous j farniers of the valley, is in the city ) ro.iay .and will leave this evening ! for Seattle to visit the fair. William Ezell, one of the promin :.t farmers of the valley, is in the vUy oa his way to Seattle to visit the exposition. Miss Joyce Craig, one of the prom inent musicians of Wallowa county, came out from Enterprise today, to spend a couple of days shopping and calling on friends in this city. ' Doctor C. T. Bacon and Superin tendent Dutch, with Joe Woods at the ribbons of a hack team, left today for the intake of the Beaver Creek pipe line. Mr. Dutch reports the pipe being hauled in rapidly and laying to start at once. The ditch digging crew is five miles out from the start ing point. CfflR LEADS FOB WITH NEW YORK, Sept. 29. Unless Senator Patrick McGarren runs amuck, it seems pretty definitely settled that the Democratic city con vention which meets at Carnegla hall, this city, this evening, will nominate Judge William J. Gaynor for Mayor of New York. It is quite likely that If McCarren protests Boss Charles F. Murphy of Tammany hall will gently flatten him out with his big steam roller and force the nomination of Gaynor over the heads of the delegates from his home county. Judge Gaynor, how ever ,ls not the only man that Tam many is considering as a nominee to succeed Mayor McClellan. Justice Victor Dowling, whose record Is an excellent one, is a man whose name Is on the lips of many of the big men of the party and in case the Gaynor program flunks. Judge Dowling may get the place .while Judge Gaynor will be reserved for the Gubernatorial contest a year hence. At present It is said to be Leader Murphy's scheme to elect Judge Gaynor, have him serve nine months, making a cracking good record, then resign to the Democratic nominee for Governor next year. Jus tice Dowling would draw well with the labor element because an inves tigation of his record shows that his votes In the legislature and subse quent decisions from the bench have been always in favor of men who take an Interest In labor. Martin S. Paine, a vice-president and director of the Bowery Savings bank, and George J. Gillespie, a lawyer, are the most talk-ed-of men for the comptrollership, while it is believed that John F. Gal vin. a wealthy m.mnfnrtnrpr. Tint last but not least, the dearest baby I ci08ely connected with Tammany s!,mv I hull will be the candidate for Pres ident of the Board of Aldermen. Gillespie is a lawyer, a director In half a dozen or more big corpora tions, anil lives at No. East Sixty-second street. Mr. Paine lives at the New York Athletic club and is little known among Tammany men. Mr. Gillespie is a regular Tammany or ganization man, belonging to Tam many Leader Thomas E. Rush's or ganization In the Twenty-ninth, or "Diamond Back," district. MORE NEAR R FOAM The decision of the Atkinson case left but little room for new argument In the Wilkinson case which "was argued on a demurrer before Judge Knowles this morning. Attorney Charles Cochran brought up the ad ditional point that the city has no right to prohibit the sale of Nearbeer to minors If it is not intoxicating. The ruling in the Atkinson case knocks a large number of the most substantial props from under the ar guments 1 nthls case. It is very prob able that the Wilkinson case , too, will come to trial, but the ruling on the demurrer has not yet been made. AUTO KILLS JiOTED WRITER. Miss Blanche Lord Killed In Auto Ac cldent nl Minneapolis. MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 29. Miss Blanche Lord, the author of recent New York slums, was killed in an auto accident last night. Gertrude Mitchell, her daughter and Miss Lord's housekeeper were injur ed. The Negro chauffeur attempted to pass a farm wagon, but wrecked the machine. He fled. Only Once More. "Golden Giant Mine" will be giveu its last presentation at the Pastime' theatre tonight. The play lias more than "mude pood'' with the patrons of this popular play house, and the prospects are good for a full house tonight. "or the rest of the week the man ngtment has selected a play that Is ti nd one that is Roycroft Day. SEATTLE, Sept. 29. (Special Elbert Hubbard, he of Roycroft fame, the Roycrofter who has made little Journeys to the homes of great men, Is now en route to Seattle on a long journey from East Aurora, New York, to a great exposition. On September 29, Roycroft Day at the fair, Elbert Hubbard will deliver an address taking for his subject "Roycroft Ideal." The big auditorium at the exposition will no doubt be crowded ,and it should be to hear a man so prominent in the country as Hubbard. Like Joe Mitchell Chappell o fthe National Magazine of Boston, Hubbard is a national character and one worth the time. Elbert Hubbard has many followers in the Northwest and thousands of little brown books, the Philistine by name, come through the mails to the good people of the cities of the Pacific coast. If this neat booklet filled from cover to cover with stories that offer food for thought, Is a forecast of a few of the things Hubbard will have to tell his lecture should prove in structive as well as one of unusual Interest. Elbert Hubbard will speak at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of September 29. He will spend some time at the fair In viewing the exhibits, meeting with Roycrofters in Seattle, and mar velling at the beautiful scenery of Puget Sound. Hubbard expects to greet several thousand Roycrofters at the fair and a neat badge will indicate that the wearer Is a close student of the Phil istine, and an admirer of the native East Aurora, New York, who came all the way to the Seattle fair to tell about Roycroft ideals and their true meaning. n OLIVER J.
