REV. WARE JILTED HER,
SAYuSM.'GEWOrlAtl
FRIENDS OF MINISTER RECENT
LY REMARRIED TO WIFE DO
NOT CREDIT STORY.
Tha Rev. A. J. Ware, whose wife
obtained a divorce from him several
montha ago, and waa remarried to
hlra in thla city last week, is accused
by a woman, who arrived here from
the Eaat, the first of the week, of
having Jilted her. She declared that
she had corresponded with Mr. Ware,
through a matrimonial agency, after
hla wife obtained a divorce, and that
he agreed to marry her.'
Mr. Ware'a relatives and frenda de
clare that he never told them of bis
being engaged to marry a woman In
the Eaat, and they do not place any
credence In the woman'a atory. Upon
her arrival here ahe- waa Informed
that Mr. Ware and his former wife
had been remarried, and she appear
ed to be very much chagrined. Tb
aame day. however, it is reported,
she agreed to drop the matter if Mr.
Ware would furnish her money with
which to return to her home. All
efforts to find her last night were un
availing. The Ware'a have three children, and
It Is aald that It was through them
that the remarriage was brought
about. Mrs. Ware charged her hus
band with flirting with members of
hla congreKatlon, which he strenu
ously denied, and bis friends likewise
declared was untrue. However, It U
said, rather than to have court no
toriety, be agreed to let hla
wife get a divorce. Before the second
ceremony, it is declared that she ad
mitted she did not think the charges
she had made were true, and that
she retracted everything. This Mr.
Ware and his friends thought was a
complete vindication. Mra. Ware was
formerly Miss Belle SurfuB, of this
city. Their children are Gertrude,
sixteen years of age; Raymond, four
teen years of age, and Joseph, thirteen-
years of age. The couple were
first married on July 25, 1892. and in
1896 Mr. Ware became a church work
er and was soon ordained a minister.

austalned a serious Injury while
watching a ball game between the
Pledmonta and O. W. P. teams In
Portland Monday. A foul struck her

same Indomitable pluck ,which aha
has shown In obtaining votea, she
waited until the game waa over, al
though suffering severely. Upon re
turning home aha waa seised with a
severe headache, and a large bump
appeared on tha top of her head. Al
though somewhat easier Tuesday, she
decided that It would be best for her
to remain In bed. She said, how
ever, when called over tha telephone,
that she expected to be oufv today

Underwood Declares Two House Will
Reach Agreement on Meaaur
Taft May Have to

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Th Den
ocratlo tariff program waa moved o "
cloeer to President Taft today, when
th Senate, by another remarkable
coalition of Democrata and Republl
cau Insurgents, passed a fanner' fra
list bill, after voting down the orig
inal House meaaur ao cloaely that
on more Democratic Senator would
have' changed th reault and left th ,
entire revialon squarely before th
President tonight.
"The unholv alliance," aa th com
bination of th Republican wing and
th Democratic party haa been called,
swept aald a host of amendment,
voted down by a tie vote th original
Hons meaaur. and then carried, by .
a surprising concentration of atrength,
a meaaur differing from th bona
bill only in comparatively unimport
ant partlculara. .
Now th bill goe back to th
Hous and Democratic Leader Under
wood, of that body, tonight confident
ly asserted that It would be finally
agreed to In conference between th
two Houses and aent to President ,
Tatt.
It la not certain that the Houa
will Insist on a conference, for many,
prominent Democratic rpreentav
tivee, believing that the bill haa not
been materially changed, ar urging
that the House adopt th Senate bill
without controversy and rush th flrat
of th tariff measures up to th Presi

not aure It will be aent to conference;
I certainly see nothing to prevent Ue

WATCH TRADE RAISES

Chief Deputy Sheriff Staata haa a
problem to propound to th putxl
solvers of Oregon City and envtrona.
It, la thla: la ft man Insane, who
makes a bad watch trade, and when
be finds out his loaa takes back hla
own timepiece? Fred Dugger, of
Parkplace waa approached by a man
a few daya ago who relieved Mr. Dug
ger of his watch, and gave him in
place of It another watch and two
blta. Tbe man did not aay anything
about a trade, but aimply went
through th pantomime of exchange
without first asking Mr. Dugger'a per
mission. Th latter finally decided
that the fellow waa craar, and forth
with aent for Mr. Staata. Ther waa
a poaslbllity, ' h thought. that th
man might know something of the H1U
tragedy. Mr. 8taata bad no trouble
finding th watch trader. In tact th
man tried to mak a trad with
Mr. Staata, but th latter held on to
hla time piece. Then the fellow took
back th watch and money h had
placed in Mr. Dugger'a pocket, re
marking that he had th worst of th
deal, and that he had no use for a
watch that would not run.

had placed one of th stick In th
spring and had gone to an outhouse
for th other two atlcka when thre
waa a violent explosion and he waa
Instantly killed. Pieces oi tne m.n
