Quick, a former Chicago girl, has "put one over" on her hus band and incidentally made Paris ad mit that some good thing, artistically speaking, may come out of America by having her design adopted by the Haviland company for the decoration of the china to be used in the Chateau Laurier, the new $2,000,000 hotel soon to be opened in Ottawa, the Canadian capital. Mrs. Quick is the wife of the general baggage agent of the. Grand Trunk railway system and lives in Toronto. She has long been Interested in decorative china painting and with out letting her husband know it she prepared a "bunch berry' design and sent it to the French china makers. She was surprised a few weeks later to receive a letter from them, but not so surprised as was her husband when he read it. The letter said: "We are pleaed to announce that the Theo dore Haviland china has been selected as the china for the Chateau Laurter, Ottawa, and that your . decorate de al nf the. hunch berry has been I wo - nfflnn twlntr that CnflArlflV'a wlfa la arrison atoppea me ueiung qui , .- - KWt.y huuivj mu uujuo, w da at WAshineton nark several critically ill of heart disease, which death.

"Honey" stood in front of the station the night after the wreckers had been busy on It for a day, and sadly sho6k his head at the. passing of the landmark. The efforts to revive horse racing In Chicago made recently at the old Haw thorne track, have been given up, and "Tom" Carey has quietly passed the tip around that the promised 15-day summer meet would not take place. There was racing at Hawthorne on July 3rd and 4th. which had been ad vertised as a "no batting" affair. The gambling was so open that public sen tlment was aroused and threats of i grand Jury Investigation were sufficient to warn the promoters agatntst at tempting to carry out their plans for a longer meet. The racing men plan ned to keen the bookmakers oft the track, but to establish pool rooms all over the city where bets on the races could be made and the results received by telephone, the promoters to share in the profits. Without betting it would be impossible . to have a successful meet and give a $500 purse for the chief event each day, as had been plan ned. Horse racing in and around ChU cago has been dead since Mayor Car ter Harrison stopped the betting on! aeroy years that racing In this country cannot be mad.3 without gambling. Washington nark was In the center of the south side, within easy reach of all quarters of the city, and an effort was made to continue the meet without betting. . It failed af er a three, day trial. The profession of "telling fortunes" of gullible people has become so prof itable In Chicago, and the fortune tel lers so numerous that Mayor Harrison hsa ordered the police and law depart ments to clean the city of them. Most of them work under the guise of clair voyants. They pretend to reveal the future, reunite sweethearts and un etigle all love and domestic and busi nesa AlffinnlttfiB.

Chi cago Tribune, after a reported had visited a number of the seers. Their m!thod8 are all the same. By trickery they answer a few questions to gain the confidence of the victim. Then they say they can make everything come out just right but that the dupe lacks "magntism" and if that lack Is supplied success will be much surer. quicker and greater. Of course they agree to supply the needed "magnet ism" a 'Vnursn of treatments t from $25 to $100, depending upon thej apparent prosperity of the dupe.

John Casedy, a well known reslden of Grant county, Is not to hang July 28th as first ordered. A special dis patch from Salem aays of the man who Is well known in La Grande: Joseph H, Caseday, formerly deputy Bherlff of Grant county, sentenced to be hanged for complicity in the mur der of Oliver Snyder, will not pay the death penalty. Governor Oswald West said today that Caseday's sentence will be com muted and Caseday will be given em ployment either in or about the state nenltentlary In a day or two. Word was received by the governor s reeu are serving life sentences for ae same offlense and If Caseday is Juilty or It they are guilty, they are all equally culpable. It Is not a square deal and I will comaiute his sentence to balance it with tlw others." Although it 13 understood there ar large petitions on file with the sheriff of Grant county that are ex pected here' In a tew days, Governor" West did not wait for them, taking his -course wholly on his above attitude. - A large number of lt:ers had been re- - celved from Grant county, among them one from W.

It was at this station in1890, that George Porteous established theflrst Bertillon system of Identification In the United States. "There is no police station in the world like Harrison street," sad Porteous when the wreckers attacked the build ing.
