Last Saturday night a resident of Hood River was coming to The Dalles on the train, but went to sleep, and forgot to awake until after the train had pulled out of the yards. He got the conductor to stop and put him off, and as he wan dered back toward the depot, was encoun tered by a footpad, who ordered him to throw up his hands and deliver his money. He complied with the demand, and gave up a few dollars Irt silver. Scarcely had he got started! toward the depot until an other knight of the road demanded a di vision of his. worldly possessions. This fellow dldn'tjget anything, nor did the third robber, who held him up Just before he reached te depot When ordered the third time lo throw up his hands, the Hood RIveijte began to get used to the performance, and told his assailant that he had Just been robbed twice, and had not even eneugh left to get a meal. This touched the heart of the robber, and. handing the yictlm 35 cents, said: "There, pard, I'm bother oft than you, and I'll dl- vide.' i a COMING ATTRACTIONS. The Little Minister." In connection with the engageir'nt of "The Little 'Minister," i 1o see. here on next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day evenings, 'at the Marquam ".rand the ater. It Is hardly ne essary to more than announce Its appearance. The play has been such a phenomenal success that it has become a household word. It Is remarkable the large number of people who keep In touch with matters theatri cal. If a play meets with great success It Is not long before the fact is generally known. There was so much talk here re garding "The Little Minister" that Man ager Helllg, after Its long run of 300 nights in New York, Immediately took steps to secure it for his theater, and after a great deal of difficulty he has finally been able to do so. The great pride he takes In announcing "The Little Minister" Is cer tainly pardonable. The play has done phenomenal business, and it will be many years before another play Is produced that will equal it as a drawing attraction. The sale of seats will begin tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock: "Mrs. Quinn's Trrliw" and "Arrnn-Kn-Pogac."

Miss Moore is at her best in Irish comedy, and having recovered her voice, which she was unable to use with good effect during her recent appearance here owing to a severe cold, will be heard in several of her delightful Irish songs.

From the DaVenport Democrat The preservation of female beauty and its enchantments by the use of harmless cosmetics, are duties the ladies owe to themselves, and to those who value their personal charms as they appreciate their moral qualities. Unfortunately unprinci pled parties too frequently take advantage of the natural desire to be ever young and ever fair, and palm upon the market delete rious acid and mineral poisons which make a momentary luster at the risk of future sallowness and ruined health. In the Ori ental Cream, prepared by Dr. T. Felix Gouraud, of New York city, the ladies have a harmless preparation for preserv ing the delicacy of the complexion, and obliterating blemishes, which has become the favorite toilet article of the leading professional artists, who owe so much of the leading professional artists, who owe so much of their popularity to their per sonal charms. Scarcely a star dressing room In opera or theater throughout our land Is without the Oriental Cream. It stands today the most harmless and per fect beautifler known. 9 "Waldorf Pianos for Rent.

FOR MORE CAR LINES Traction Company Asks Fran chise to South Portland. ROUTE WILL DtSTURB OLD LINES Rlgrht Asked Over FiftliFrom Jef ferson South Walls for Standard Oil Company's Plant. "" At the meeting of the common council yesterday, the Portland Traction Company (old cable road) applied for a franchise to extend their line from Jefferson and Fifth streets, by way of Fifth, Sherman, Second and Sheridan, to First, along First to Whlttaker, and down Whittaker to Hood street The building of such an ex tension will necessitate using First street, from Sheridan to Porter, over which a franchise was granted a short time ago to Messrs. Glass and Smith, and which has been by them assigned to the City & Suburban Railway Company. The ordi nance also asks that the franchise of the City & Suburban Company (formerly Transcontinental), from Porter to Whit taker street, be forfeited and canceled, because of failure of the company to op erate cars on that part of First street. This Is something new In the way of pro curing street-railway franchises, and shows how eager the companies are to extend their lines. Within a short time the Portland Street Railway Company has built an extension In the North End, the Metropolitan Street Railway Company has secured a franchise for an extension of about two miles In the South End, a franchise has been grant ed for a line from the Union depot over First and other streets away out to near the old Potter's field, which has been transferred to the City & Suburban Com pany, and now the Portland Traction Com pany want a franchise to Whittaker and Hood streets, Involving doubling up on a part of First street with the City & Sub urban, and foreltlng the City & Sub urban Company's franchise on fjve blocks of First street, where the track lias been laid for years and operated to within a year or so. There is likely to be trouble In securing this franchise, but the Traction Company think they will get It A resolution was adopted requiring the Standard OH Company to Inclose the block on which their warehouses, tanks, etc., arc situated with a substantial wall, as pro tection against fire spreading In case of accident to their plant. An ordinance was passed allowing the premium on Improvement bonds, recently sold, to be U6ed for the payment of Inter est warrants for the Improvements on ac count of which the bonds were issued. New Franchise Asked. An ordinance granting the Portland Traction Company the right to construct and operate on certain streets was read twice and referred to the committee on streets. The route of the proposed exten sion is from a connection with the present line of said company, at Fifth and Jef ferson, along Fifth tv Sherman, down Sherman to Second, south on Second to Sheridan, east on Sheridan to First, south on First to Whittaker, and east on Whit taker to Hood street. The ordinance fur ther asks that the franchise authorizing the Transcontinental Street Railway Com pany to construct and operate a railway on First street from Porter to Whit taker, be forfeited, annulled and can celed because of the failure of the Trans continental Railway Company to operate cars on said part of First street. The Traction Company agrees, If the franchise is granted, to begin work within six months from the time the ordinance is approved, and to complete the line within one year. , Premiums to Pay Interest. An ordinance authorizing the distribution of certain funds realized from the sale of Improvement bonds was passed. The city attorney has decided that the holder's of warrants for the Improvements on which the bonds were Issued are entitled to Interest on the same, ante as there ar6 no funds available to pay such interest, this ordinance meets the situation by au thorizing the city treasurer to credit the face value of said bonds to the several street-Improvement bonds on account of which they were Issued; to credit the pre mium to the street and sewer Interest fund for the payment of Interest on the warrants, and to credit the accrued In terest on the bonds sold to the Improvement-bond interest fund. This Ingenious method of distributing funds goes to prove that necessity is the mother of Invention. Street "Work. An ordinance was passed authorizing V. A. Billion to construct a team scale on Union avenue, which is to be satisfactory to the city engineer, and to be removed whenever the council shall so direct Ordinances authorizing appropriations out of the attenuated general fund, to enable the board of public works to re pair Grand avenue, from East Clay to the Southern Pacific railroad track at East Grant street, at a cost of 5500, and to repair NIcolal street, between Front and the Northern Pacific railway track, at an expense of $150, were read twice and re ferred to the street committee. The gen eral fund has been tapped several times of late for such jobs. Ordinances declaring the proportional share of the cost of constructing a sewer In Water street, and establishing tho grade of East Eighteenth street, were passed. . Neighborhood Accommodation. An ordinance authorizing the street com mittee to enter into a contract with tho O. R. & N. Co. for a right of way from the west end of Wood street to the county road above, and to construct a sidewalk and stairway thereon, at an expense of $120, was read twice and referred to the com mittee on streets. The sidewalk and stair way are for the convenience of the people on Marquam Heights, and to allow their children to attend the Falling school. Walls for Standard Oil Plant. A resolution was adopted requiring the Standard OH Company to surround their block on which their warehouses and tanks stand, on the East Side, with a substantial wall of brick or stone, not less than 18 inches in, thickness at the top, to be laid to a line flush with the street grading, said walls to be outbanked on the outside with clean earth to the height of at least five feet. New Sewers "Wanted. Resolutions were adopted directing pub lication of notice for the construction of a sewer in Twenty-fourth street, from 125 feet north of Thurman street to the sewor on Vaughn street, and for the con struction of a sewer in East Twenty ninth street, from East Yamhill to Bel mont. The petition of Jennie C. Crosier for a sewer on East Alder street, and of Lavlnla Staver, for a sewer In East Ninth street, were referred to the sewer committee. A communication from Mrs. M. L. Sut ton, of Roseburg, In regard to a souvenir, entitled, "Oregon in a Nutshell," which she Is preparing for the Paris exposition, was referred to the committee on ways and means. The souvenir is a book of photographs, interspersed with advertising matter, etc. A bill1 from A. Caswell, for $147, which he Imagines Is due h.lm for balance of salary as poundmaster, was referred to the committee on health and police. The petitions of F. Botefuhr, E. Hoch and D. Germanus, wholesale liquor dealers, who paid wholesale and retail licenses, asking that the former be refunded, were referred to the liquor license committee. Several petitions for permits for private grading and other street work were granted. Petition to lie Corrected. A petition for Jho Improvement ot Front street, from the boneyard south to good pavement, had been handed to the city attorney for hl3 opinion on It He fur nished the auditor with an opinion to tho effect that the petition was defective, in that It leaves too much to the judgment of the city engineer, and that It was very doubtful If property-owners Interested, who had not signed the petition, could be made to pay their assessments for work done under such a petition. The petition will bo corrected. On motion of Baker, 60 days further leave of absence was granted Councilman Meyer, who Is detained In New York by business. On motion, council adjourned till 2 P. M., Friday. February 9. GAME LAW DISREGARDED. Doc Snot "Wlille Suckllns a Fawn Bnt No Conviction. GREENLEAF, Or., Feb. 1. (To the Edi tor.) It seems funny to read, in the dis patch from Medford In The Oregonlan re counting the third failure to convict UUIch of violating the game law, though "the defense Introduced no rebutting proof that (deer) hides were Illegally in posession of defendant," that "local sentiment here Is in favor of the enforcement of the game law." - I suspect that local sentiment Is about the same in Medford that it is here In Lane county. Deer are killed here every week, and no secret Is made of the fact A doe was shot some time ago 'While suckling her fawn within s.ght of my door. I ate a portion of the carcass. The fawn waa captured and Is now a mischievous pet. The game warden can no more en force the deer law here than a prohibitory liquor law could be enforced in Portland.' None of the settlers, if drawn on a jury, would vote for conviction, and when a case was taken to Eugene, in the hopo of getting fr.endsi of the law on the jury, .the result was the same, with the excep tion that a lot ot settlers got fees and mileage for attendance as witnesses, and they are ready to enjoy another such Jun ket whenever the warden shall say the word. The men of this community are pot-hunters, either. They are not noble minded sportsmen, who hunt for the pleas ure of killing and wounding deer, but are moved by the base motive of procuring food for their wives and children. I am not opposed to enforcing the game laws on personal grounds, as one of these pot-hunters might be, for I keep no gun, and never fired a shot at game In Oregon, but I have a grievance. Ten per cent of my hay was ruined by deer, who made trails all over It before It was ready to cut, to say nothing of the large amount of clover they ate. A bear wallowed In one field, but the harm he did was not a circumstance to the work of the deer. They also ate the tops off my little patch of 'beets, ate a good many English turnips, several cabbages, and a large number of the little apple twigs which would have borne fruit next year. They serve my neighbors no better. Now, I submit that If the noble race of sportsmen want game preserved for them to come into the country and shoot for sport when their vacation and the open season come around, it ia not fair to compel Ua clodhoppers to feed and fatten that game for them without remuneration, and I hereby give notice that if such game attacks my cabbage patch and is shot by my pot-hunting neighbor, I shall neither refuse to accept a slice of the meat nor lodge a complaint against the violator of the law. A fence that will stpp deer Is expensive. If the sportsmen will fence in their game on their own premises, pot-hunters will not poach, probably, but It's against hu man natuie to be insulted by deer in one's own dooryard and not protestor shpot.

Exercises In the Assembly Hall Ad dress to Gradnates and Pre sentation of Diplomas. Promptly at 8 o'clock last evening, 25 happy graduates of the Portland high school marched to the tune of a lively march Into the gaily decorated halL The whole stage was a galaxy of American flags, while among the lights and trim mings of the stage were entwined Ore gon grape and evergreens. Directly In front of the stage were a number of ta bles, draped with flags, upon which lay the many-colored flowers of the class, of which there were great numbers. The class themselves enlivened the scene much; the glrla, with their pretty white dresses, and the boys with their evening suits, from which hung long streamers of the school cardlna.1. The high school orchestra opened the programme with "The Serenade," ' which was not up to their usual form, but tlujy redeemed their reputation In their sec ond number, "Bohemian Girl." They played "Smoky Smoke," a rag-time ditty, for an encore. The Portland Ladles' quar tet, consisting of Mesdames Albert Shel don, Edgar Coursen, Harry Miller and Walter Reed, appeared on the programme several times, and always responded to an encore. "Doan' You Cry, Ma Honey," a negro lullaby, in which Mrs. Coursen carried the solo, captured the audience, and was repeated. Rev. L. E. Rockwell delivered the ad dress to the class, and his talk was a very practical one. He told them the thing before them Is to choose their right pur suit in life. Continuing, he said: "The world Is full of people who have made mistakes. The world Is full of misfits. Thousands have begun and never finished. Thousands have begun business active, but were soon passive. There are some ministers who should be farmers. There are lawyers that ought to be ministers. There aro doctors that should never have been born. "The great object of education Is to de velop what we have. Education is not the knowledge of books. Education brings to the front the powers you have, and the knowledge of the power of others. It is not- the moon shining- with a reflected light It is rather a sun shining with its own great light" Mr. Rockwell then gave a talk on patience and character, showing the power of these two charac teristics in the great men that have lived before us. J. A. Strowbridge, chairman of the board of school directors, congratulated the class, and presented them with their diplomas. The graduates then proceeded to the second floor, where they received tho congratulations of their, friends. There were five first honor pupils, name ly, Parthenla Dukehart, Adeline Ham mond, Arthur D. Leach, Elsa Ohle and Nellie Poppleton. The list of graduates is as follows: English Rowena Cochran, Bessie C. Core, Parthenla Dukehart, Laura G. Dunne, Nellie Engeland, Semele J. Groat, Adeline Hammond, George G. Hart, Will iam M.
