Although president Darius Miller and other officials of the llurllngton declined to confirm the report, al though generally believed, the an nouncement Is' construed In many quarters as the first step in a plau which has been under discussion In railway circles for some time. It has been predicted that the Great Northern would take over tho North ern Pacific's half Interest In the Joint control of the Burlington by the two companies.

It Is the way of them that when a son suffers pniu in thelt presence they suffer as keenly as he doa. John Grady knew that. And so, crushing back the pnln that was taking his life, he called nut to his mother to say that he was not bidly hurt. "There Is no cause for alarm, tnavourecn." said John Grady to his little old Irish mother. Ami then- Reclng the look of maiernal anguish, he thought of bis mother's favorite long.

Surely the augels in heaven must have heard and changed that roistering song Into n paean of praise. The song faltered, ceased.

A masked highwayman held up John Ferguson, a well-known resident of Oregon City, and another man at Fifteenth and Washington streets ear ly today. The highwayman made no attempt to rob either, but kept his pistol pointed at Ferguson twenty-five minutes. The iatter was the first one stopped by the desperado. While he was explaining to the would-be Job ber that he had no money, the other man came up, and the highwayman halted him. Both were compelled to stand with their hands held up for about fifteen minutes, when the last man to arrive bolted and eseaped In the shadow of a hedge fene. He ran down to Main street and gave the alarm. Policemen Green and Cook hurried toward Washington street, and on the way met Ferguson, who said the highwayman had fled. The police think the highwayman probably was trying to protect a com panion who had entered or was at tempting to enter a residence in the neighborhood.

Don't Experiment With a Cough When Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey has been used by millions of people for sixteen years with a steady increasing demand. Look for the Bell on the Bottle. Geo. A. Harding, Druggist. Workmen spare that tree, was, in substance, what Mrs. Adam Wilkin son, who Uvea on Main street near Twelfeth, said to a gang of men em ployed by Moffatt St Parker, when the work of removing a large maple on the sidewalk In front of her home was started Wednesday morning. The man paid little heed to her for a time, but she was so persistent that finally the foreman appealed to the City Attorney, who ordered the fork continued. Then Mrs. Wilkinson ap plied to J. E. Hedges, the attorney, but before Mr. Hedges could sue out a restraining order, the tree had been so seriously mutilated it was not worth saving. The lawyer, however, being convinced that the rights of Mrs. Wilkinson had been Infringed upon had photographs of the tree and workmen taken, to he used in a dam age suit which he will file against the city. The tree, which was an old one, but In perfect condition, has caused all sort of trouble. Its roots, gnarled and moss-covered, had spread In all direction above the surface of the earth, and Interfered with the laying of concrete sidewalk, which had been ordered by the Council. A a result, the tree was ordered removed, but Mrs. Wilkinson did not know anything of the order until the menarrlved to .do the work. The maple, which' Is just within the curb, Is one of the landmarks of the city, and, aside from the dense shade It furnlsned, Mrs. Wilkinson did not wish it re moved for sentimental reasons. Mr. Hedge declare that the city had no right to have the tree de stroyed, and says his client has good ground for damages. He asserts that It was not necessary that It be re moved to lay the pavement, and that as long as the tree did not obstruct the sidewalk the wishes of Mrs. Wil kinson should have been granted. The Council also ha ordered the removal of a tree in front of the home of Mr. J. H. Walker on Washington street near Seventh. Mr. Hedges has been employed In this case, and will apply for a restraining order today. OF IS GEORGE A. CLARKE DECLARES THAT AUGUSTA HABERLACH CALLED HIM THIEF.

The plaintiff assert that as a result of the charge he has been viewed with suspicion, hatred and contempt by his neighbors and acquaintances. He allege that the charge was made ma liciously and for the sole purpose of injuring him, and causing him to be arrested and prosecuted. The plaln tlf la represented by George C. Born ell. V(il r-j
