THE MOBNING OEBSOOTAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, l"900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF HARQUAM GRAND-Evening: University of Oregon Glee Club Concert. CORDRATS THEATER (Washington street) Matinee5 and eealne, "The Hottest Coon In Dixie." Appoktioxinq the Funds. The commit tee on -ways and means spent all Thurs. day afternoon -wrestling with the mayor's message and the auditor's estimate of the probable revenue of the city for the cur rent year. The reenue from the 8-mill tax levied gave them no trouble, for it is already disposed of, nor did they worry about the troubles of the police and firo departments, who are likely to have trou bles of their own from shortage of funds. The committee concluded that outside o! the appropriation made for these depart ments the city had no authority to do .any thing for them. The lire department has some 513.000 on hand, which will carry It through two months, and then It will have to wait till taxes begin to come in. There is some money in the police fund, and there will probably be enough there before long to pay the expenses ol the department for December, and then there will be no more till taxes begin to come in. The committee Is now wrestling with the general appropriation ordinance, which Is to be presented to the council next Wednesday, and which Is intended to be so drawn as to make the city rev enues meet the expenses of the various de partments dependent on the general fund. In other words, the committee is endeav oring to divide up the revenue so as to make it go round, and everybody happy. COKCERXETO Registration. District At torney Sewall states that he will submit answers on Monday to the questions pro pounded to him by Clerk of the County Court Holmes, concerning the means to be adopted in the registration of certain classes of citizens. The clerk desires to know what proof, if any, he shall require from citizens who are such by virtue of their father's citizenship, or If he shall merely swear these persons as is done in the case of native-born citizens. The clerk also wishes to toiow if he shall rigidly adhere to the rule of making naturalized citizens produce their papers. Mr. Sewall will examine the new registration law carefully, Und also other laws which may have a bearing upon the subject. Regis tration is progressing actively, and it takes the clerks but a minute or two to obtain the desired information from each appli cant, Wilbur Kerns has been appointed an additional registration clerk. Focnd a Loxg-Lost Watch. Detective Barry yesterday came across a stolen watch and chain ne had been hunting for two years. One Grade Pigott yesterday reported that a. Chinaman had stolen a watch and chain from her, and so the Ce lestial was arrested, with the watch in his possession. The timepiece, upon exam ination, proved to have been the one stolen from a Mr. Pierce In 1897, and so the woman was hauled over the coals in re gard to how she had come by it. She said a Chinaman had given it to her nearly a year ago, and so Chief McLauchlan or dered Chinaman No. 2 hunted up. This one was soon brought to light, and said he had owned the watch long before it was reported stolen, so he Is kept in .custody while the detectives are probing deeper into the case. The waich and chain are valuable, as they are of gold. They were originally constructed for a woman's use. School Exercises. The Holladay-ave-nue school, in assembly today, under the supervision of Miss Meussdorffer, of the grade, commemorated the writings of the late Sam Xu Simpson. The exercises were opened by the school joining in the song, "The Red, White and Blue." This was followed hy a recitation of two stanzas ol "The Beautiful Willamette." a recital ol the principal events of Simpson's life, 'n three parts, with recitals from the poems, "Pioneer's Cabin" and "The Rounded Age" intervening. It was closed with the class giving two stanzas of the song, "At Parting." The programme was judiciously arranged and entertaining throughout Miss Meussdorffer Js the first, so far as reported, of the teachers in the state to commemorate in these exercises the writ ings of. Simpson, as has been suggested should he done. "Repairing Cascade Locks. Captain Harts, United States engineers, returned yesterday from an inspection of the re pair work being done at the mouth of the Cascades locks canal by H. W. Taylor. He found, rthe work proceeding favorably. The stage of water in the river, which is higher than usual at this time of year, is delaying work at the extreme lower end of the protection wing, between the mouth of the canal and the river, but at -other points the work Is going ahead as rapidly as pos sible. The probability Is that the water in the river will be lower in a short time, and then the repairs at the lower end of the protection wing can be made. The injury to the rock work at the mouth of the tsanal were caused by the great flood of 1894. v Me.

Governor Geer, who is staying at the Per kins for a few days, says he expects that Spanish cannon in Portland almost any day now, as the government is taking steps to forward it to General Summers. The next question, he thinks, to be settled, is where will the cannon be placed In per manent position. He personally favors tho state capital at Salem, but as the plan or adorning the soldiers' monument with It seems to find favor, he Is at a loss to know the future whereabouts of the mon ument.

One Million Pounds Just Sold nt 1G Cents. Sheep and wool have both been good property to own for some time past, and their values have been gradually enhanc ing. In Wallowa valley the bulk of the coming crop of wool has already been sold. Frank D. McCully, who Is just down from Wallowa, and who Is prominently interested In many enterprises up there, says that Charles Green, representing Koshland Bros., has just completed con tracting for 1,000,000 pounds of next spring's clip of wool In Wallowa, at 16 cents per pound, and has paid one-third cash down. This takes all the wool In Wallowa ex cept the thiee clips belonging to Messrs. Bohner, Amy and Kernan. The product of Wallowa Is among the best of Eastern Oregon wools. It will average nine pounds to the fleece, and shrinks 65 to 70 per cent Sheep In Wallowa are in excellent condi tion. Some are being fed, and there Is plenty of hay on which to feed them. But most of them are on the south slopes feeding on bunchgrass, where the snow has gone off. The altitude up there Is from 2000 to 4000 feet above sea level, and there is soft snow to the depth of six to eight Inches except on the south slopes, where It re mains for only a brief period. There are no sheep for sale in Wallowa at present A Montana buyer has1 just been through there offering $2 25 for year lings after shearing, but could not secure any. Mr. McCully says that there is In Wal lowa a lively local trade In wheat at 50 cents a buhel. The weather Is pleasant up there, and the coldest spell this winter was five degrees above zero. 8!

IN THE SEVERAL COURTS SWEETT-TE5IPERED "WIFE DEFEND ANT IN A DIVORCE SUIT. Husband Relates Most Remarkable Story of Abase at the Hands- of His Spouse. W. A Goggeshalf has sued Anna M. Coggeshall for a divorce, because of cruel treatment The plaintiff avers that during the last years they lived together the defendant worked herself up into such a mental condition that she was almost crazy, and in March, 1896, shot at him with a revolver from her bedroom win dow, while lie was crossing the lawn in company with his brother. In April fol lowing, Coggeshall states that his wlfe began raving- and ranting againstf nis mother, and when he expostulated with her for her conduct she drew a revolver and he was compelled by sheer force to take it from her to prevent her from using It upon him. On another occasion when he was about to go to New York upon business, the plaintiff avers that the defendant shot through the mirror with a pistol, and sprinkled parls green and water over her person, near her mouth, and upon the hed, to convey the Impres sion that she had committed suicide. At another time, he says, she put on her nightdress, and, golnff out Into the yard, lay down In the snow, where she remained about 20 minutes, and when he found her there she used bad language to him. The plaintiff further alleges that his wife falsely told him several times that she had taken laudanum, and when he did not come home promptly to dinner she would come down to his store and knock things off the shelves. Ho states that he was compelled to sacrifice his business and leave her in September, 1899. The liti gants were married In Connecticut in 1880, and have no children. , Minnie C. Layfield has commenced 6ult for a divorce against Henry T. Layfield, to whom she was married In Columbia county In 1888. She charges him with having deserted her ih November, 1897. There are three children, of whom she asks to be granted the legal custody, and also to be restored to her maiden name, Hunter. The sheriff has served papers in the suit for a dissolution of the matrimonial bonds filed by Charles Weigand against Bertha Weigand, in Cowlitz county, Washington, on the ground of desertion. In the month of August, 1S97, Superintend ent Gardner, of the Boys' and Girls,' Aid Society, filed an application In the county court for the possession of five children who were In the custody of the defend ant It 4a stated that the children were subsequently sent to the father.

At thse Portland Union stockyards there Is now am opportunity to compare the treatment of the American hog in Eastern and Western Oregon, and to judge of the results. There are two bands of hogs at .the yards, and those from Eastern Ore gon have all the symptoms of having been welcome guests at growing grain-bins. They are plump and fat, and perfect in form. Those raised in Western Oregon do not answer the above description. Most of them have a far- away look dn the eye a sort of dream of days when they were "mot neglected. And most of them would not be Injured by a few more months of feeding. O. M. Plummer, who has been book keeper at the stockyards for three years and always found It a very healthful place, says that it is surprising that the farmers of Western Oregon do not pay better attention to their hogs. He con siders that a hog sold alive at 4 cents Is equivalent to getting 60 cents a bushel for wheat. Eastern Oregon furnishes slightly more hogs than does Western Oregon, and there Is never a poor one among them. The American hog furnishes food for mil lions, and the American eagle furnishes food for thought. Hogs at the stockyardB here are now worth, olive, $4 50 per 100 pounds, light, and S4 75 heavy. An unusual feature of the Portland hog market Is that during the past month 75 cars of Oregon live hogs have been shipped to San Francisco. They were mostly light block hogs, averaging 150 pounds, and sold there at 5 and 5 cents per pound, live weight. These shipments have tended to keep this market firm. There Is quite a bunch of medium qual ity dry cows at the stockyards, which were raised at Clatsop plains. They are held at ?3 50 per 100 pounds. The same stock from tho bunchgrass regions would be valued at $3 60 to $3 75. A good, fresh cow with calf now brings $50 at the yards, and there Is a good de mand for prime steers at $4 25 per 100, or a shade better. Poor quality Is In poor de mand. Most markets stocked up with choice meats before Christmas, and still have much, of It on hand. Recent sales of mutton sheep have been made at $4 to $-1 25 per 100 pounds. They are mixed lots, not more than two-thirds being wethers. A good wether bunch would bring 25 cents per 100 pounds higher rate. Lambs now go in the same as old sheep, as the new crop Is not far away. Captain George Pope recently sold a lot of lambs seven montihs old at $3 50 each. He says that the people are eating up lambs as fast as they can be raised, and that the consumption of mutton nas In creased enormously. r n 3 ' COMING ATTRACTIONS. Dc Faclunnnn's Success. The Musical Courier has the following to say of De Pachmann, who will be seen at tho Marquam Grand Monday night, January 8: "Vladimir de Pachmann played the F minor concerto In his own Inimitable manner. His style has broadened; he has gained In repose, and his rubato Is not so violently unrythmlcal as It was six years ago. The caressing beauty of his touch, its rich singing duality, was happily ex hibited in the larghetto, which, was played nlth a poetical spirit and variety of shad ings well nigh Incredible. It was legiti mate piano playing, the Instrument yielded up its utmost toll of tone, and sounding at times like p. miraculously attuned Aeolian harp. The mazurka-llke finale was given with fantasy. The pearly scales, trills and fiorature of this work suit De Pachmann perfectly. For encore pieces he gave the A-flat ballade and D-flat valse In a way to set tingling the nerves of the Choplnlsts. There was some rhythmi cal Indecision at the beginning of the bal lad, but from the first coquettish and ap pealing broken octaves a magical atmos phere enveloped all. The D-flat valse was given simply, a scale In contrary motion being added, with a few unimportant changes In the cantablle. It was refresh ing to hear this valse without its winter concert cloak of double notes. As Da Pachmann read it, so Chopin intended it. Altogether he Is the same old, fascinating 25 tSSSSSttS .

The kopjes which figure so largely in the war are in almost every case the sites of old native kraals. The native village, sur rounded by a loose stone wall, would be on the top of the hill, and the cattle kraal, surrounded by a similarly built wall, at the bottom of it Ifis the material of these walls, more or less ruined, that have, been used by the Boers In the construc- N,tlqn-.o their breastworks covered in front by barbed wire entanglements, against which the British assaults were delivered In vain.

There are persistent reports that Delagoa bay may become a base of operations foi the British against the Transvaal that may or may not turn out to be true. The possibility of this, however, has been fore seen by the Boers, and the passes by which the railway and main road enter the Transvaal territory from Delagoa bay at Koomatl Poort and Matala Poort have been strongly fortified. As an evidence of the looseness with which the British staff maps appear to be prepared It seems that the map of General Methuen's route from the Modder river to Klmberley, issued just iz aays ago, does not show Magersfonteln at all, and gives no special attention to the po sitions and general trend of the kopjes scattered over the country. v 0 From an Old Friend. PORTLAND, Jan. 5. (To the Editor.) You truthfully state this morning that "the protective tariff has been In their hands (tho Carnegles) these 40 years an Instru ment of colossal robbery, and Is even yet." Open confession Is good for the soul, and you will no doubt confess that you have been guilty, to the extent of your Influ ence, of aiding and abetting that robbery as you have uniformly supported the re publican candidates pledged to the policy of proteotlon. But we must look ahead and not behind, and instead of crying over spilled milk, we should endeavor to pre vent any more milk spilling. That robbery has been perpetrated, and its evil results cannot now be easily remedied. There is, however, in the way of consummation, through legislation, for the benefit of tha banker barons, another more colossal rob bery than was procured through that In strumentality for the Iron and steel barons. The latter were only aided to control the Iron and steel output, while the former: are seeking to control the money output of the country, a very much more dangerous proposition. Will not The Oregonlan lend Its great Influence, not only to deplore the evil of past monopoly legislation, but also to prevent the evil of proposed monopoly legislation? X- Unfortunately, there Is no escape from the Indictment of guilt as to support of the republican party In recent years, and The Oregonlan, In its remorse, can only plead extenuating circumstances. Bad as tho republican programme was, to aban don it for the more unspeakable evils of Bryanlsm would only be to exchange the frying-pan for the Are. The extremity was so dire that some 2,000,000 democrats found themselves In the same fix and voted for McKInley. The worst of it is they may have to do It again. ii o Tou can buy men's, ladles or children's shoes today for $110.
