Emile Berreth, the 10-year-old girl, who is serving a 25 day sentence (or stealing Newt Criteser's horse, thinks it very hard that she has to stay in jail until the bop picking season is so far advanced. 6he has yet about 10 days serve and time evidently drags slow on her hands. She stated to the reporter that her father came down last Saturday, but he told her that he did not have the money to pay her fine. However, he paid for a daily allowance of milk for Emile, and she says that) her appetite is good. In fact, she com plains that she does not get enough to eat, but the jailor says that she is given the usual allowance, the same as other prisoners. Miss Berreth laughed slight ly when the circumstance of taking the horse was mentioned, but said that she intended to return tbeanimal, but could not explain why she took the nag. When first confined in the city jail where she was taken on account of the better accommodations for women, she complained of being sick, and refused to eat but little. She is taking matters philosophically now, and Bays that she will go to the hop fields as soon as Bhe is discharged from custody, and' then return to her home at Salem. The girl evidently does not realize the enormity of the crime of taking the horse, and has probably never had proper moral training. - Hk Lived Here A telegraph report Tuesday gave an account of the death of Frank 0. Richun, whose wife lives in this city. It is stated that he was killed by fulling from the truss rod of a pas srnger train while stealing a ride. He came here from Kannas about a year ago and married a Mrs. Booth. When the telegram was noticed in the Oregon inn, some doubts were expressed as to his identity, but Mrs. Richen received a telegram that convinced her that the man killed was her husband, and on Wednesday accompanied by John K. Morris, she left for Umatilla, to bring the remains home, lie was a member of the Woodmen lodgo in this city, and Held a 1 1000 insurance policy in that order. Mr. Kivhcn formerly worked for the Crown Paper company, but quite some time ago to get employment in the Eastern Oregon harvest fields. He recently wrote to his wife that he had been getting good wages, and would send her some money with the next letter also that he intended to go to Davenport, Yi ash , aa he had learned that harvest hands were in great demand in that section. It is expected that Mrs. Richen and Mr. Morris will return with the remains Saturday. EPW&RD -- HUGHES Leading Insurance Donaldson. - Agenoy F. E Fine Sunset. views and excellent water In F. E.

That every day our store is filled with buyers from every part of the city, regardless of distance? -T- There must be some reason. People especially ladies don't go out of their way to buy unless there is a reason. L IT IS BECAUSE we have established a reputation for abso lutely fresh goods especially in the line of table ' -i- delicacies, and our customers are sure of a superior article and then the prices are right. . ...GiBsorT&T PROPRIETOR OF HARDING'S BAKERY AND GROCERY BREAD AND PASTRY A SPECIALTY Deckhands Strike. A keg of beer is said to have been the cause of the present "strike" of the deckhands on the Columbia and Willamette rivers. It appears that on a recent trip down the river from this city the crew of the steamer Ruth took a ken of that fluid aboard at Oregon Oitv and, before reach ing the metropolis, the whole outfit be came gloriously intoxicated and con cluded they were enjoying too much prosperity in being paid $35 a month and board. They thought this should be in creased to $5 per month and so notified the company. The latter did not ac ceed to their demands and so each and every one of the drunks left the boat. The epidemic spread from one boat to another and the result is the "union" men are being called out and their places are being filled by new men. The Gypsy's crew left her at Portland last evening but no inconvenience was ex perienced thereby as a new gang was waiting under orders of the O. R. & N. Company. The crew of the O. 0. T. Co's Altona went out Saturday and new men are doing the work at present. Salem Statesman. Thk Steamboat Stbikb. The majority of the Willamette and Columbia river steamers are now carrying new crews on account of the recent strike made by the members of the Oregon Steamboat Assembly, who have struck for a raise In wages from $35 to $40 per month. A new crew man the Altona between this city and Portland, and the boats appear tobe running without any inconvenience On Monday the 0. R. N. Bteamer Modoc reach "d the locks on her down trip, intending to finish loading up with paper rolls. A walking delegate from Portland came on board with orders from headquarters,and eight deck hands quit. At five o'clock in the evening the Gypsy anchored at the flouring mills with a load of wheat and just as the deck hands were preparing to handle the trucks, the walking delegate put in appearance, and five deck hands and the fireman, went out. - The boats have no difficulty in getting new men- o take the strikers places, although many of them are inexperienced.

Attention is called to an advertisement, in another column, of the Holmes English and Business College, of Portland, Oregon. This institution has probably educated more young men and women for business, and found them employment, than all the schools of that kind in the North west. Miss Holmes, in addition to be ing assisted by tin able corps of vix teachers, gives her entire time to the upbuilding of the school and every thing that can add to the students advance ment and comfort is provided. The school maintains six departments, namely : Three years course in English branches, a course in book-keeping, penmanship, shorthand, typewriting and telegraphy. The Holmes college is a Christian institution ana nus ai heart not only the mental but the moral and the physical welfare of the students intrusted to its care. The principal has given much thought to the home life of students and is able to provide safe and comfortable rooms at a low cost. The past years of business depression flas impressed upon the minds of all the necessity for practical education and never in the history of the country has the work of the thorough business col lege been so much appreciated as to-day. Money saved on railroad tickets to all points east. F. E. Donaldson, Agent. , Bound for the Hop Yards. All week long men, women and children and Chinaman have been passing through the city bound for the hop fields. The boats and trains are carrying a goodly number of hop pickers, while many are traveling by team and some on foot. Bv next Monday hundreds of hop pick ers will be busy at work, and the re duced town population will be par ticularly noticeable. The season begins about 10 days earlier than usual this year, which will prove of advantage to both growers and pickers. It is now a settled fact that the ruling price for picking will be 35 cents per box, at least, that is what several growers have been offering during the past few da s. It is believe! that the majority of yards have not been materially damaged by the lice, and that growers generally will receive a good price for their product. Cowino-Smith The event of the week was the marriage of T. F. Cowing, jr., and Miss Amy J. Smith, in this city Wednesday evening. The wedding was a quiet but impressive affair, and took place at the residence of the groom's parents, Capt. and Mrs. T. F. Cowing, on Sixth street in presence of only a few relatives. Rev. A. J. Montgomery solemnized the simple but impressive ceremony, according to the form laid down in the church ritual. The bride was arrayed in white organdie, and her attire was rich and becoming. After the ceremony the wedding luncheon was served. Mr. Cowing is the popular manager of the Western Union Telegraph and Wells Fargo & Co's express offices in this city, while the bride is the ac complished youngest daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Solomon Smith of Silverton. For the present they will reside at the groom's parents on Sixth street. A host of friends extend congratulations. Didn't Go. A republican farmer harvext picnic at Wilhoit Springs on Sat urday was a grand fizzle. Hon. Geo. 0. Brownell, the advertised speaker, ad dressed an audience, consisting of about 10 men and 30 women, on political sub jects for about half Ln hour. He tried to lay the blame for the recent mock J state legislation on to 16 populists and i Jo.-S'.mon. There were 90 members of the legislature as you all know. Prof. II. S.

Clackamas county has long been noted for the production of teasels, used by the manufacturers of woolen goods in raising the nap of the cloth. A. .J. Sawtell, of Molalla, who has made successful business of raising teasels for a number of years past, has just completed the harvesting 100 acres of teasels, With the exception of a small field in the same neighborhood, these are said to be the only teasels raised outside of the state of New York, The Clackamas county teasels are much better and longer than those raised in New .York, and consequently there is an argent demand for them among the woolen manufacturers of the East. A teasel is the burr or flower head of the teasel plant, or fuller's herb, which the seeds are ripe is covered with stiff, prickly awns or bracts having shaip, hooked points which are used for raising the nap on woolen cloth. The burrs, which are about au inch and and a half in length, and nearly an inch in diameter are split in two lengthwise.and these halves are fastened to a wheel, which- revolves rapidly, th cloth paw ing under it coming in contract with the sharp hooked points, which tear the fillers of the wool, and so raise a nap on it. LOCAL SUMMARY. Bound for Klondike. By letters re ceived from members of the Oregon City contingent bound for Klondike, it is evident. that they are now well along on the road through the Alaska ice fields. They are not all takinit the same route although bound for the same destination . John Confer writes to his son here thatJ his party had started from- Skaguay and were going over the White pass, but a letter written by George Hamilton to his family under date of August 12th, states that bia party had moved a part of their freight three miles out from Dyea. They are going over the Chilcoot i, and each member of the party exDects to carry over 600 pounds of provisions. In his letter Mr. Hamilton expresses the opinion that those at tempting to get through with much freight will not reach their destination this winter. The various letters re ceived from the Oregon City argonanU express an encouraging degree of hope fulness. For Indecent Exposure. Willim Drayton, Otto Shelley and Put Williams, three young men of Maple Lane, aged somewhere in the neighborhood of 17 and 18 years old, will have a hearing in Justice Schuebel's court today, (Friday), on a charge of indecent exposure. Ac cording to current reports and the state ment of Mr. Franklin the prosecuting witness, the boys went in bathing in the Abernethy last Sunday. They did not wear regulation bathing suits, and after tiring of disporting themselves in the water, they concluded to vary the mo notory by taking a sun bath in R. B. Franklin's orchard. Mr. Franklin said that he had no objections to them com iug into the orchard, but did not ap preciate the fact of them coming into the enclosure in a nude condition, especially where there was one married woman and four girls present.
