THROWN PROM
HIS HORSE
Horseback riding may be a pleasure
but three In this city can attest to the
fact that even this pleasure has its
pain. Douglas and Todd Wolfer, sons
of Mr and Mrs. (5. Wolfer of Third
and (enter streets were horseback
riding on Fifth street last night ono
riding and the other leading the
steed when the animal suddenly be
came frightened, and threw Its rider.
While trying to hold the fractious an
imal the other hoy stumbled and fell,
and the horse punned over his body,
stepping on It ai It crossed. The first
boy was able to crawl to his feet anil
went home as quickly as possible.
On arriving thero he told of tho acci
dent, and said that tils brother was
killed.
Mr. Wolfer quickly Jumped on a
home and started for tho scene of the
accident at breakneck speed, when
his horse shied on Center street,
throwing him over Its head and se
verely bruising his knees on tho
crushed rock roadhead. Dr. Melssner
was summoned with all possible haste
and he dressed the wounds. He says
that while all were severely bruised
and shaken, no bones wero broken.
They are reported today as being
much Improved.
GENEROSITY OF DR M'LOUGHLIN.
The recent dedication of tho corner
stone to tho new McLoughlln Behind
In this city has brought to light a
number of anecdotes of iuterest to
those who love the old Doctor for his
work In Oregon, Ono told hy A. II.
Garrison relates how his uncle, a
Methodist minister In Yamhill county,
was saved from worry and suffering
by tho Doctor sending to him pro
visions sufficient to keep tho wolf
from the door through a hard winter.
It seems thnt the old Doctor knew no
creed when It camo to a worthy case
needing assistance It la that, per
haps, more than anything else that
led to the present esteem In which
he Is held by those who knew him.
Walter Gruel and E. Storm of Red

PROGRAMS BY PUPILS
All Gradei Participate Short Ad
dreteet by Visiting Member from
the Grand Old Guard.
It has been the custom for a god
many years for the veterans of the
('.rand Army of the Republic to visit
the schisils In Clackamas county,
Tuesday, May 28, was the day chosen
this year. At 10 a m. the Uarblay
schools were visited by comrades J.
C, Sawyer, George A. Harding, J. A.
Tufts, II. Illankinshlp, and Color
Hearer Frank E. McArthur of New
Era, and Rev. P. K. Hammond.
At the approach of tho veterans
four little girls dressed In white met
them with roses and gave each a bou
quet. Commander J. C. Sawyer, In a
few remnrki-H explained that while
they would all enjoy tho progress of
the children they had brought with
them a man to talk for them. He said
that fifty years ago children did not
have the opportunity of becoming
speakers they have had In these later
years, and gave up his place to ftev.
f. K. Hammond who began by saying
ho considered It a pleasure and an
honor to speak In behalf of the Q. A.
R. hut as he had not prepared for a
speech, meeting them on the street
and obeying orders by coming, it
would have to be short. He laughing
said, "I expect you will be glad of
that." He said he had heard of a
man who after a somewhat lengthy
talk to tho children had asked If there
was anything more they would like
to have him say; a little boy rostnp
and said "Yes, say Amen and sit
down."
He told them the noblest way to
honor the Hag was to hold themselves
loyal to what the flag stood for. The
program of the first, four grades was
then carried out in the assembly hall,
as follows:

The decorations over the building
were beautiful, the arrangment of the
sweetbrler in the lower hall was par
ticularly effective and thero were
jmnny bouquets of roses. The two
high rooms upstairs wero thrown to
gether where the exercises of the
: higher grades were held.' The deco
rations here consisted of flags, bunt
ing, red, white and blue flowers, Bar
jcluy school pennants and wreaths of
.Oregon grape, tastefully arranged by
I the pupils of the high school.
Rev. Hamond spoke again to the
older children and kindly admonished
them to resolve in their work or play
to make of themselves good citizens
Will Now Go Forward as
Rapidly as Possible
CABLES TO BE CUT
And Steel Extension Inserted Without
Further Delay. Steel Repairs for
Wet End Towers Ready.
Work on the repairs to tho suspen
sion bridge across the Willamette
river at Seventh street Is being push
ed as fast as possible. There has
been considerable delay In securing
th steel supports to be placed across
tho top of the abutments, designed to
carry the saddle over which the
cables run, but this having been ac
complished the work of putting them
Into position will be rushed to com
pletion. Tho clamps -for use In hold
ing the cables while the new steel
extensions are put Into place have ar
rived, and work on that portion of
the repairs can now go forward.
The only men working the past
week have been the carpenters, and
their portion of the work having been
pushed ahead of the other repairs,
the men employed on that portion of
the work were given a temporary lay
off Tuesday.
The towers at the west end of the
bridge have been reinforced anflre
now practically new. They have been
extended four feet above the old
cable level, and It Is this extension
that is expected to furnish the lever
age for raising tho cable while the
new steel eyebeams are being put In
place. Eight screws will be brought
to bear on the cable from the cross-
piece at the top of this extension and
It Is believed that the cable can be
lifted high enough to allow of the In
sertion of these new steel eyebeams
and a new saddle, with which the
cable Is supported when In proper
place.
In order to raise the cable it will
be necessary to take the slack from
the center of the bridge that Is to
raise It above Its present level suffic
iently to permit of the Insertion of
the new portions of the bridge. This
It Is believed, can be accomplished.
The towers at the east end of the
bridge are In fair condition. The de
cay at the west towers comes from
the giving way of the saddle and Its
supports, due to the greater strain on
that portion of the bridge.

Royal makes a difference in your home a difference in your health

ROYAL is absolutely Pure.
If no new complications arise it is I
believed that the bridge will be ready
to open to public traffic within a
week or ten days.
DECIDE ON ROUND TABLE.
The executive committee of the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua has
decided on the Installation of a Round
Table, or parliament. Meetings will
be held dally from 11 to 12 noon, with
Mrs. Eva Emory Dye In charge. All
Interests will be given consideration
by Mrs. Dye, and an effort will be put
forth to make It one of the most prof
itable features of the Chautauqua.
This same feature was In vogue sev
eral years ago, with dally sessions at
5 p. m., but the Interest In baseball
called more loudly than the Interests
of parliament and so it was discon
tinued by the association. With Mrs.
Dye as leader the executive commit
tee feel that this season the Round
Table will not only take on a new
lease on life but that it will become
one of the mose popular features of
the big show.
SOCIALISTS WILL MEET SUNDAY.
The Socialists will hold their reg
ular monthly meeting next Sunday In
Knapp's hall at 1:30 p. m. The pro
gram will consist of several addresses
and a debate on the question of the
attitude of the Socialists on the ques
tion goodness and unselfishness. The
proposed celebration onthe Fourth of
July will be discussed and full plans
announced. This will be the first
time In Clackamas county that the
Socialists have made a special dem
onstration on the Fourth and the
American revolution will be revealed
In the light the Socialists see It. Sev
eral business propositions will come
before the meeting for consideration.

The three-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William Hughes of Aber
nathy was severely bitten by a dog

which Is a strange one, resented the

pain as far as possible. Today she is

early part of the week was the coolest,
and the last two days were the warm

the eastern counties on the 21st and
22nd, but they did no harm of conse
