The whipping post for a man has often been talked of, but very' seldom has it ever been thought that such a place for a woman would be establish ed, and from what happened in this city during the week, It would be a wise thing to establish one for a woman as well as for a man. A wo man by the name of Van Scolck was arrested and fined $25 for cruelly beating a boy by the name of Howard Blair. The boy, whose mother Is dead, and his father residing somewhere in Portland, has been staying at the home of the Van Scolcks in Mllwau kle, for the past few months. It is stated that the boy, who has always been a dutiful child, is about 12 years of age, and wished to got warm In the kitchen, but this the woman re fused, and she immediately began beating the child lu an unmerciful manner. His face was blackened by her Mists; and he was thrown violent ly to the floor. The child's brother Is staying at the home of Mr. Barnes, this child being more fortunate than his younger brother. In having a good home, told Mr. Barnes of the treat ment his brother had received nt the hands of the Van Scolck woman, and Mr. Barnes swore out a complaint for her arrest, which soon followed. Jus tice Kelso fined the woman $25, which was greatly approved by all. The woman In her testimony stated that she was not angry at the time, as she was a child of God, and that the child of God could not become vexed. She Is a member of some "Religious" de nomination, and her husband Is an evangelist, who makes his appearance nightly on the streets of Portlaud. The boy's father, It seems. Is also a follower of the same denomination, and did not care to make complaint against the woman, who had so brut ally treated his child. The boy will be turned over to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society In Portland, where he will receive proper care. The people of Mllwaukle are determined not to stand for anything like this, and will Immediately bring anyone to justice. Mllwaukle Opposes Plan. For the present, Mllwaukle people do not favor Mayor Slaion's plan to annex the town to Portland. Mayor Strleb, In giving his views of the question said: "I think that the proposition to an nex Mllwaukle to Portland comes too (Continued on Page 5.) shelter during the severe cold weath er, were cared for. The anlmala were brought to this city by Officer Bradley ai.i the owners were made to pay for the care anil keeping. Mr. Bradley slates that he Is to be morn severe hereafter, and that owners must care for their stock In a proper manner. This year has been one of the most active In the history of the Society since Its organization. All of the re pora of cruelty to animals that have come In hava been thoroughly Investi gated, and their sufferings alleviated. Since the organization two drinking fountains have been ercted with the assistance of the city council. The one on the corner of Main and Scv enth streets was erected at a coat of 1285 In 1902, and that on Seventh street In 1007. at a cost of 259. Ev ery day hundreds of people, besides animals can be seen drinking rrom these two fountains. The society Is now arranging to erect another one on Main street, but the exact location has not yet been decided. The election of officers took place and the following were elected: Pres ident, Miss Anita McCarver; vice president, George A. Harding; secre tary, Mrs. E. G. Caufleld; treasurer, E. G.
