Insurgent Candidate for
Congress to ,Speak j
Next Week
A. W. I.nfferty, progressive ltepub
liean candidate for I'ongreHg from
the Second district, will speak at tin
court house at H;l." next Wednesday
night, August Illst, oil the various
political Issues affecting Oregon. The
Hood Klver lmnd will give h concert
Just liefore the meeting.
l,iiffiTty'n campaign Is looming Mg,
and it Is already apparent that he Ik
the lending candldute. PisHntisfuc
tlon with Kills for a nuiulter of yearn
lias crystnlized in opposition to the
present congressman and him cen
tered on the aggressive l'ortluud
iaw.ver, Lafferty known what Ore
gon needs at the hands of the na
tional government, and he has the
al'llity to get It. lie stands for re
turning to thin state the millions of
dollars derived from the wale of pub
lic lauds and put Into the reclama
tion fund which Is being used for I he
development of other states. Sec
tion U of the Keelatnatiou Act, whL-h
required return of the major portion
of this money to the state which
produced it, was repealed iu the last
congress liy the ways and menus
committee, of wlich Congressman
Kills is a member. The Interior de
partment has practically construed
the homestead and timber land laws
off the statute books. Lafferty ad
vocates the creation of a federal land
court, which he believes would make
a man's right to take up govern
ment lands worth something to him.
Iu a recent speech Lafferty said:
"I statu! with the progressive Re
publicans and prefer the leadership
of men like Cummins, Dolllver, llev
eridge, M unlock nud Madison to
that of Aldrich, Payne, Dalzell and
Cannon. In the mutter of conserva
tion, I am as pinch opposed to giving
our lauds to railroad corporations
and limber syndicates as anybody,
but I demaud liberality toward tin
poor people of the country seeking
small tracts iu this slate for their
own usennd benefit."

HE GREETEDTHE CZAR.
Exparitnc of Nicholas II. With "Pa
risian S treat Arab.
Ou oue of bis Tlslia to Paris Meholaa
11. i left alone for a moment hi his
carriage. The czar wus delighted at
tbe feeling of freedom and ease. Look
tug oiit of the window with all tbe
zest of a schoolboy playing truant, be
taw before him one of those pictur
esque street a rubs who seem to sprout
between tbe paving stones of Parts.
This particular specimen, seated
ngnlnst the railings, with his nose In
the air, was whistling the refrain of
tbe Kusslan uutlonal hymn. Suddenly
their eyes met. The street boy sprang
to bis feet, lie bad never seen the em
peror, but he bad seen his photograph,
and the likeness was striking.
"Suppose It Is Nicholas?" be said to
himself, greatly puzzled.
lie resolved to make sure without
delay. Walking up to within a yard
of the carriage and bobbing bis head,
be shouted In a hoarse voice to tbe
unknown foreigner:
"How's the empress?"
Picture bis satisfaction for. Id fact,
be thought that It was only a good
Joke when the stranger replied, with
a smile:
"Thank you, tbe empress la very
well nnd Is delighted with her Jour
ney." Tbe boy lost his tongue. He stared
at tbe speaker in dismay and then,
raising his cap, stalked away slowly,
very slowly, to mark bis dignity.
Nicholas II. afterward often amused
himself by scandalizing tbe formal set
around him with the story of this pri
vate Interview with a true Parisian.

A SERIOUS PLAY.
Th Author Was Willing, Though, to
Turn It Into a Comedy.
Tbe gallery god, uo less thun tbe
putroo of tbe padded chair, aspires to
write for the stage. I have a vivid
rcmcmbruDce of the tirst of all tbe
plays submitted for production at the
New theater In New Vork. It was
from an employee In a local railroad
station, probably a baggage smasher,
and 1 shall betray uo confidence In re
cording that tbe author's name was
Murphy.
Though Mr. Murphy called his work
a play, it wus iu reality only a scenario.
It was eutltled "Jims Wife." Tbe
plot was as follows: In tbe lirst act
Jim bud no wife, but he took bis girl
to a danee. Action They danced In
act second came the "great scene."
The scene was caused by the fact that
Jim's girl danced with another man.
Jim felt Impelled to kill him. but be
refrained, retiectlug that such things
did not occur in the best circles and
would thus be socially unpleaslng to
his lady. The curtain fell on bis act
of self sacrifice In not killing tbe other
dancer. Id act third there was still
more action. Jim's girl rewarded him
for his delleocy by marrying blm.
Final curtain.
"Mr. Murphy seemed weighed down
by a fear that bis play was too serious
for tbe New theater. In bis letter be
said: "If you would rather have It a
comedy 1 will send you tbe Jokes. 1
have a few jokes too." John Corbln

Heels to Match Walk.
"In every theater audience there are
critical persons who are prolific with
suggestions for making tbe play more
realistic," suid a stage manager.
"Some of these biuts are worth con
sidering too. In one play that was
staged not long ago the biggest bit
was made by a character actress who
bad to wear down-at-tfle-heel shoes.
On tbe third day of tbe New York
run I received u letter from a shoemak
er, who called my attention to tbe fact
that tbe woman's gait and her shoes
did not match. Her heels were run
down on tbe outside, whereas tbe walk
she assumed on the stage must inevi
tably cause her shoes to run over on
tbe Inside. That was a point that
bad escaped the notice of everybody
Id the company. Upon lookiug Into
the matter we found plenty of evi
dence to uphold our critic, and we se
cured a pair of property shoes with !
heels worn away on tbe Inside." New

The Gegenscbeln Is the name given
to oue of tbe most Inexplicable objects
known to astronomers. It Is visible Id
the uigbt sky under favorable condi
tions. Is rounded In outline and Is situ
ated olways exactly opposite the place
of the sun. It has been termed by one
eminent astroocmer "a sort of comet
ery or meteoric satellite" attending the
earth. He supposes it to be composed
of a cloud of meteors situated about a
million miles from the eorth and re
volving around it In a period of Just
one year, so that tbe sun and the me
teors are h I ways on opposite sides of
tbe earth. It Is estimated that the size
of this ghostly satellite may be nearly
tbe same as that of the planet Jupiter
