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

Special Aid Meeting.
The Ladies Aid society of the

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.

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.
