The school elec tion held in Oregon City district No. 02, last Monday, was the center of all in terest. For the time being, the mo mentous questions of county politics were laid to rest, and the all-absorbing question was the election of school di rector for the term of three years to succeed Dr. J. YV. Norris. The candi dates were E. E. Charman and F. T. Griffith, and the, largest vote of taxpay ers ever cast in Oregon City at a School election was poiled. Many ladies voted, and carriages wore busy running all the afternoon to and from the polling places. At polling place No. 1, in the Fountain engine house, Charman received 119 votes, and Griffith 98. At polling place No. 2,-in Number Three's engine house, Charman received 91 votes, and Griffith 22. Charman's majority was 90. Mrs. S. M. McCown practically had 110 oppo sition for re-election as district clerk. She received 253 votes at both polling places, and seven scattering votes were cast for G. W. Swope. Three hundred and thirty votes were polled Monday Two years ago the annual meeting and school election was held in Pope's hall. Dr. W. E. Carll was elected director over W. A . White by a majority of 34. Six hundred sixty-two votes were polled at this election, but everybody was per mitted to vote irrespective of age, eex, color or previous condition of servitude. Many went away without voting, be cause they became tired of waiting for a chance to gain admission to the crowded hall. One year ago the tax paying qualification for voters was strictly enforced, and 175 votes were cast for C. II. Caufield, who was elected director without opposition. Two Aociuknts. On Saturday morn ing a serious accident occ urred at Bon ney Bros sawmill near Redland, about six miles from Oregon Citv. The mill was running and Ira Bonney was oper ating the sa w. The er.w became clogged in some way and a scantling flew up and struck Mr. Hohney a severe lick on the forehead lacerating his scalp ai d splitting his nose and probably fractur ing some ".bones. The injured man's brother, -V. E, Bonney, mounted a horse and Listened to Oregon City to summon a physician. When he reached the corner, of Main and 14th streets he , was still riding at a rapid rate, and collided wiili the Gladstone car, which was making its down trip. The horse was so badly injured that ho was shot to put an end to his misery, and Mr. Bonney wafc severely bruised on the arm and other parts of the body. Mr. Bon ney stated that he believed that if he had not pulled on the horses reins while in an excited state of mind, that he could have passed the car safely. Mr. Bonney was married a few days ago to Miss Lizzie Armstrong, of Redland. ones Cash Store CARRIES A FULL LINE liner. hardware, pro, visions, NORTHERN .grown! jy ILLUSTRATED FREE Boell Lamberson 180 FRONT ST.

E. church in Port land, and formerly chaplain of the Jo liet penitentiary in Illinois, delivered a very interesting lecture at the M. E. church in this city last Friday evening. His subject was "The Walled City, or Four Years Among Prison Walls." He told of many interesting things that had occurred during his experience as a pen itentiary chaplain, and of the study that he had made of criminal character istics. He divides criminals into three classes, the two principal of which are hereditary and accidental. Dr, Walters claimed that hereditary crime was a dis ease, and that the usual terms of im prisonment had no effect on this class of criminals , They would be criminals as long as they lived, and there was no known cure for the malady, and the only relief that could be afforded to society would be to have this class of criminals securely confined during life. Fired at A Tramp. Miss Dora Ja cobs, of Canemah, was plucky enough to shoot at a tramp the other evening. Many girls, or even older ladies, would have ruslAsd into the ljouse thoroughly frightened and barricaded the doors, but Miss Jacobs didn't. About eight a'clock Friday night when she went out to the woodshed to get a stick of wood, and saw a tramp partially hid among the rose bushes she leisurely went back into the house, and came out with a gun. She then notified the tramp to travel, and when he didn't budge she blazed away at him with the contents of the pistol evidently missing him. The pistol shot, however, had the desired ef fect, for the tramp lost no time in getting out of the range of the shooting iron. Miss Jacobs resides with Ed. T. Fields and family at Canemah, and the ladies were alone in the house at the time, Mr. Fields not having returned from the S. P. depot, wherojie holds the position of baggage master. 1 Violated Revknuk Laws. F.

A jealous Starbuck saloon keeper diseovend that there was no revenue stamps on the keg, unci caused Mr. Kartell's arrest, and it was expected that ho would have? his hear ing at Spokane. Last Satunbiy, how ever, , I iiilgo Bellinger- was not inclined to sen I Mr. Karlen to Spokane for trial, as his ofl'em-e at worht, is a trivial one, and bei-idcs his wife is, an invalid and he would be far from home and among strangers. Judge Bellinger permitted Mr. Karl- n to go home on his own recognizance. And All Necessary Articles for An Outfit to Alaska. You can buy your entire oulfit under one roof.

Chief Burns had a lively tussle Monday morn ing with a hard gang of hoboes, who had arrived on the north-bound freight train. They took in the sights until it was about time for the north bound overland to come along, when they col lected along' the track near the water tank. One burly hobo was standing on the track very much intoxicated, when Chief Burns appeared on the scene, and started to lead him away. Two lusty specimens of the outlit then tried to take the prisoner away from the chief, but in about a minute he had three of them in the air at one lime. Finally, the entire crowd were landed in the cal almose, after "one was recaptured who attempted to run away, and another one delayed matters by having an eclectic fit. " ' U...K'SCt ' F. I.
