prise July 1 1882.
The literary and musical entertain
ment at Pope's hall under the auspices
of the catholic Knights of America on
Monday evening was largely attended,
and proved a complete success. The
program was varied, and the numbers
were well executed inevery instance.
Archbishop Gross' lecture was a pol
ished and interesting discourse, and
it was attentively listened to. The
receipts amounted to $100.
Death of Julius Logus The city
was shocked by news of the sudden
death of Julius Logus Monday after
noon. The news spread rapidly, busi
ness was temporarily suspended, as
he was the most familiar on the
street, and he always presented a
picture of rugged health. His death
occurred while seated in a hammock
under the trees reading a newspaper,
and he was found dead by workmen,
who were employed building a side
walk close by, their attention having
been called when they heard him
breathing heavily. A physician was
immediately summoned, but when Dr.
W. E. Carll arrived, Mr. Logus was
dead. His death was due to apoplexy.
His daughters had gone to the Bes
tow home a short time before, and
they were notified of the occurrence.
The obsequies were set for Thurs
day morning at 8:30 o'clock, and were
under the auspices of the Knights of
Pythias Lodge, of which Mr. Logus
was an active member. Mr. Logus
was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal
church, but in the absence of the rec
tor, Rev. O. W. Lucas, pastor of the
Congregational church, officiated.
Achilles Lodge No. 38, K. of P., at
tended in a body, as did also the
Board of Trade after the short service
at the house the remains were con
veyed to the steamer Altona and tak
en to Lone Fir cemetery, Portland, for
burial.
The pallbearers were George A.
- Harding, Chris Hoberg, E. Mathias, J.
E. Rhoades, George C. Brownell, and
Gordon E. Hayes. Business houses
were closed during the hour of the fu
neral. Julius. Logus was born October 20,
1838, at Kanwinkle. Prussia, and came
to America in 1864, and on the 28th
day of November of that year arriv
ed in Oregon City, where he since
resided. He took a position with the
firm of Albright & Logus. the mem
bers of which were an older brother
of the deceased and the father of
Charles A. Albright, the present jun
ior member of the firm. In 1869 Jul
ius Logus purchased his brother's in
terest in th meat market and ten
years later Charles O. Albright suc
ceeded his father, and the firm name
continued as "Logus & Albright."
Mr. Logus was one of the incorpor
ators of the Bank of Oregon City, and
by his unwearing industry and frugal
ity he accumulated a great deal of
property in Clackamas, Linn and Mult
nomah counties. The estate is esti
mated to be worth $50,000 and $75,000
above all indebtedness. Deceased
served at city councilman several
times, bt had never held any politi
cal office although he took an active
interest in politics.
In 1870 Mr. Logus married Miss
Antonia Shweiker, who preceded him
to the grave a little more than two
years, namely April 6, 1890. Three
children are left, Misses August, So
phia and "William, the latter a lad.
One brother, Charles, and two sisters,
Mrs. A. Burghardt and Mrs. J.' Went
ze live in East Portland, and another
brother, Frank, and sister, Mrs. Wil
liam Shiley, reside in Europe.
Mr. Logus was one of the most
popular men in Clackamas county,
and he was universally held in high
esteem. Though born in Germany, he
was proud Of his American citizenship-,
and was as active a patriot as any
native Yankee. His death is a dis
tinct loss to the community.
The Nation's Business.
Great conventions are becoming
very un-conventional. Less and less
they run to dinners and teas and so
ciety functions, and more and more
to what the word means linguistical
ly coming together.;
In convention today kindred souls
come together, physically, mentally,
and spiritually, and by exchange of
thought, and-experiences and aims,
reinspire one another, find solutions
for the problems each has met, or
unitedly plan bigger undertakings
than could be attempted separately.
Women are having their, innings at
conventions now. We have just had
the Pan-American Conference, the Y.
W. C- Conventon with its internation
al flavor. The International Women's
Council has just met at the Hague.
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs is holding its convention in
Chautauqua, June 21-30, and the U
S. Federation of Business and Profes
sional Women will meet In Chatta
nooga, July 10-16. And there are oth
ers.
For the woman who has been a long
time out of school and hungers for in-
telectual fellowship again, for a new
and broader vision, for contact with
big and interesting people, the con
vention is the thing. It furnishes the
vacation de luxe, taking you on a trip.
amid new scenes with the enthusiasm
which comes from mingling with
those who are thinking and working
along such lines as make especial ap
peal to you.
To get the very most out of your
convention, don't take it haphazard.
Arrange many things in advance.
Have your credentials made out pro
perly, to avoid embarassment to your
self and confusion to the committee.
Your railway certificate will save you
money. It Is generally most satisfac
tory to have made room reservations.
Know all about the local organiza
tion you represent, that you may tell
others what they want to know about
it, and if you have a report to make.
write it out to hand" to the secretary
as she will want it for statistics. If
you are to talk, make it brief. Conven- j
ton time is very valuable and the
programs too long and crowded.
Prepare to travel with others from
your part of the country and get ac
quainted on the way. Your transpor
tation chairman will tell you how to
arrange it.
Register as soon as you arrive.
Remember that most of those at
the convention are much like yourself.
Don't be offish about speaking to
them within reason. Perhaps you will
find some mutually interesting tie, if
you declare yourself. Perhaps the
one you address is even more timid
than yourself. Meet as many big and
interesting persons as you can, and
feel the uplift. Of course, you will
not impose on them, for they have
only human endurance, but I imagine
don't you? that they like to have us
meet and pay them homage, (Not be
ing in that class I can only guess at
it.)
The Mises Reva and Beryl Kirk

The fourth open air concert given
by the Oregon City band Friday even
ing at the court house lawn was
largely attended by an enthusiastic
audience. The program, arranged by
Director A. Kohler was composed of
some of the latest and popular selec
tions. By request "Kentucky Home"
was impressively rendered.
The following program will be giv
en next Friday evening, and will
probably be given in the Main street
district:
Mr. and Mrs. Ketels are to make
their future home on the farm of the
former in the Holcomb district.
The bride is the daughter of Will
iam Schwabauer of Parkplace and sis
ter of Mrs. Fred Miller of Gladstone.
For about two years the bride has
been employed in the office of Coun
ty Clerk Fred Miller, who is a brother-in-law,
and was one of the most pop
ular employes of the court house. Pre
ceding her marriage she was present
ed with a number of handsome gifts
from the employes as an evidence of
the high esteem in. which she was
held.
Mr. "Ketels is a well known farmer
of Clackamas county, where he has re
sided for some time.
Mr. and Mrs. Byron Moore enter
tained in a delightful manner at their
home last week, following the. per
formance at the Liberty theatre.

DRAGONS OF EAST AND WEST
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Long were tak
en by surprise at their home on
Seventh and Madison streets on
Sunday evening, when the employes
of the Liberty and Star theatres plan
ned and carried, out the event.
Refreshments were served.
Enjoying the affair were Mr. and

Long. Miss Grace Peterson and Ches
ter Douglass.
The "Helping Hand" class of the

The afternoon was enjoyably spent
m needlework. Kerreshments were
served by Mrs. E. E. Teeple, mother
of Mrs. Bauersfield and Mrs. G. Bau
ersfield, mother of Mr. Bauersfield.
Legends Regarding Them Vary Wide
ly, the Oriental Mind Regarding
Them With Reverence.
Perhaps we never stop to realize
how strange it Is that among the saints
there is room for one to win his place
by the reputed actual savingof a lady
from a dragon. And yet this is the
story of Saint George of England, and
considered in no allegorical light by
the medieval church. The wealth
hoarding and slaughter-bringing drag
ons early trailed across the legends
of Europe, bringing with them desola
tion and forming pretexts for love af
fairs between lorn damsels and he
roes. The eastern mind sympathized with
the dragon and made It the emblem
of rule. I know of only one . Instance
where anyone attempted to destroy a
dragon, for they were usually regarded
as sacred and of incomparable power.
The West, however, true to its tem
perament, preferred to tell of dragons
conquered and slain by the wit of man.
The dragon is almost the symbol of
nature in the East, and the different
ways of meeting it seem to form an
allegory of the oriental mystic rever
ence of nature and the European scien
tific conquest of it. Elizabeth' J. Coats
worth, in the North American Review.

Dress? O yes, we do have to think
of it. We do not want to look inap
propriate. Fortunately today conven
tions are serious-minded and business
like and the street dress, or sport
dress is the thing, with perhaps one
gown for the social functon should
there be one.
One of the finest things about a con
vention is that it makes us realize
that the world is full of splendid peo
ple. Here, there, and everywhere,
like-minded people are thinking and
working for the same ends. With wo
men these are child welfare, home
betterment, education, improved in
dustrial conditions, social health, joy,
and service, and international peace.

WOMAN-I-TORIALS
Silver Fish or Book Worm
This is not the kind of fish Hubby
catches with an angleworm and loves
to tell elastic stories about; neither
is it the scholarly type of individual
our children are likely to become;
but it is the tiny invader which slips
around beneath the wall-paper) tin
damp places, in little used books, and
in out of the way nooks. He modest
ly scoots away for dear life when we
lift the book or pile of papers under
which he is hiding. Why we should
wish to demolish this harmless, clean
looking, three-cornered bug is not
exactly clear, but he is an invader
and we have a squeamy prejudice
against him.
To rid ourselves of him, we en
snare him by his pet hobby starch.
We make a thick paste of boiled
starch, poison it well (or perhaps I
should say thoroughly) with arsenic,
spread this on pieces of pasteboard,
and put them back of the books, in
dresser drawers, and in all his favor
ite haunts, and, presto, the glisten
ing silver-fish is no more.

ANTS MUCH LIKE FIREFLIES
Species in Brazil, Travelers Assert,
Throw Off a Small but Quite
Distinct Light.
At least two Brazilian travelers
have described an extraordinary phe
nomenon connected with the nests of
white ants, or termites. Dr. da Fon
seca, who saw the exhibition on the
headwaters of the Rio Verde, gives the
appearance as that of tiny stars, af
fording the nest the look of a min
iature tower brilliantly illuminated.
When the nest was struck with a stick
the lights went out, only to re-appear
little by little.
Castelnau, in the middle of the last
century, beheld a similar spectacle
near the city of Goyaz. He says that
the lights were produced by an im
mense number of small phosphores
cent larvae, which withdrew into the
galleries of the mound when an at
tempt was made to capture them.
Branner of Stanford university re
marks that this exhibition is prob
ably confined to some particular spe
cies, or to some special occasions or
conditions of termite life, since he has
lived and traveled for years in Brazil
without seeing it.
OSWEGO, July 5 Oswego is try
ing hard to secure Bull Run water
and different ones are around with
petitions and if present plans develop
and the matter is properly handled.
In fact it appears that the chances
never" were better. Recently a con
ference was held in Portland with
J. W. Normand, president of the Os
wego Commercial club, representing
Oswego, Archbishop Christie for the
sisters' interests in Glenmorrie and
Franklin T. Griffith for the P. R. L.
& P. Co. holdings. The plan, suggest
ed by Archbishop Christie and Mr.
Griffith was that a water commission
of three be formed, one each for their
interest and one for Oswego.- This
was rejected by Normand. The gen
eral opinion here is that there should
be one representative for the pres
ent city of Oswego, one for old and
south town and one for the district
south of Oswego, inasmuch as their
interests are commonplace. It will
probably cost $70,000 or. $80,000 to
put this system in, which will mean
bonds.

Troublesome Phase.
A troublesome part In the life of
some children is the "negative" stage,
where they want to contradict every
body about everything trying to con
duct Ions, tiresome dialogues in oppo
sition. This looks as if the child had
not enough interests of his own. His
powers are unemployed and are being
"turned in" on himself and on you.
The best remedy is to give a good deal
of a.ctive, intelligent, constructive
thought of a nonroutine character to
the situation and "make a change" of
some kind. Sometimes to possess as
his own or her own a corner in the
attic or the barn or a tiny room, or
a little playhouse, where your girl or
boy can find opportunities for "self-ex-

Collects Specimens of Air.
The instrument used by a French
scientist for collecting specimens of
air at high altitudes with the aid of
sounding balloons consists of a very
perfect vacuum tube with a finely
drawn out end. Either the rise of
the mercury in the barometer, corre
sponding with a previously deter
mined altitude, or the clockwork of
the meteorograph, forms an electric
contact, causing a little hammer to
fall and break the end of the tube.
Air then rushes in, whereupon another
electric contact, brought about by the
same means, causes the current of a
small accumulator to heat the plat
inum wire wound around the capillary
tube to a red heat. This fuses the
glass and again closes the end of
the vacuum tube, thus entrapping the
air. x
