Returned to Salem. A. D. Zigler, an
escaped lunatic, was returned to Salem
from this city last evening. Zigler had
sense enough to pass off several forged
checks on Portland business men Satur
day afternoon. He somehow obtained
some blank checks of the First National
bank, and "by forging the name of 'J. Cor
nelius was able to keep himself in spend
ing money besides purchasing plenty of
wearing apparel. He thus mulcted I
Robinson, a clothing dealer, out of $13,
and Miller & Son of $5. Zigler Is a strong
young man, about 20 years of age, and ap
pears rational enough while offering his
worthless checks In payment for goods
and receiving the balance in cash. By
operating on Saturday afternoon he had
36 hours ahead of him before the forgery
could be found out, as Portland banks
close at noon on Saturday. His victims
have no desire to prosecute him, how
ever, as the authorities have decided that
the fellow Is "insane."
Saw the Eclipbb. Colonel lu L. Haw-
IkinB is one of Portland's citizens who
arose early enough yesterday morning to
take in the partial eclipse of the sun. Al
though clouds obscured the sky somewhat.
the colonel says he obtained a very good
series of views, the first "being at 5:22 A.
M., when the moon had encroached on the
southeast quarter of the sun about half
way toward the center of the larger orb.
There wasn't so very much difference
In the apparent size of the planets, he
thinks. From a second-story window of
the colonels residence on Fourth and
Lincoln streets, where a fine Eastern ex
posure reveals the whole East Side, and
Ithe mountains beyond. Colonel Hawkins
spent nearly an hour In watching the
itransit of Luna, and wishing he could get
lis hands on It jo add to his collection
In the free museum. The eclipse, he says,
lectured promptly on schedule time, as
published in Sunday's Oregonlan.
Excavatinq for New BuiUHNO. Large
crowds gathered all day yesterday about
the southeast corner of Third and "Wash
ington streets, where a large number of
len and teams were busy excavating the
juarter block for the foundation of the
lew four-story brick to "bo erected by
the Falling estate. Heavy teams were
angaged in plowing up the rich alluvial
ill that for centuries Tefore American
occupation of Oregon had grown the tall
firs, since cut down to make way for a
rlty. The 6oil being dug up Is hauled off
to the Terminal grounds, where it fills
in depressions about the coach yards. A
Lhick bank of concrete, which was the
foundation for the heavy vaults of the O.
& N., gave the workmen a good deal
Df trouble, as It had to be broken apart
Kvlth the aid of sledgest The concrete
chunks were carted off like the rest of
She material, to help All in.
Eclipse Seek Here. A number of peo
ple arose yesterday with the sun to see
the partial eclipse of that luminary. It
yas scheduled to rise eclipsed at 4:18, but
whether it did nobody In Portland knows,
or the northern and eastern skies were
bhscured by a mass of blue clouds. After
o clock there were several short Inter
nals when the 6un peeped out from be
hind the clouds, and by the aid of a
Iznoked glass It could be seen that a frac
tion of it was obscured by some large
ady. For about five minutes at 6 o'clock
jhe clouds so encircled the sun that the
clippe could be clearly seen without the
lelp of any glass. This is a phenomenon
leldom observed. The moon left Its place
etween the earth and the euh at 6:25.

Inquxrt ron Captain Brannan J. J.
Moore, of Comer, Georgia, has written to
Postmaster Protzinan lor Information re
garding the whereabouts of Austin B!ag
bon Brannan, formerly connected with
the police force of this city. He says he
wrote to Captain Brannan, Portland, and
his letter cme back marked "not called
for." Captain Brannan left Portland Ave
or six years ago, and has since resided
continuously at Long Beach, Wash., hold
ing down this edge of the continent, while
Summer visitors are not there. During
that time there has been a complete
change of officials at the postofflce, and
men have come In who "know not Jos
eph," nor Austin Blagbon, and as Cap
tain Brannan never called for his letters.
It was, of course, sent "back. Now, 'Cap
tain Brannan will please take a day off
from chasing the swift-footed razor clam,
and the equally agile crab, and write to
his anxious friend, giving his present
postoffice address, and all will be well.
Bio Fish got Away. Dan Howe had a
rather exciting experience with a salmon
at Willamette Falls a few days ago. He
had hooked a large salmon, supposed to
be about a 40-pounder, and after playing
It a long time succeeded in getting It
within reach. A friend deutous of assist
ing him in landing It took the gaff and
getting down to the edge of the swift
current, essayed to hook it into the tired
fish. No sooner had the salmon felt tho
point than he made a vicious plunge,
tearing the gaff out of the hands of the
holder and nearly dragging him Into the
river, and then struck out for the sea,
taking a mile or so of Howe's line along,
and had not the line parted he vrould have
taken- along the rod and probably Mr.
Howe also. The race is not always to the
swift nor the battle to the strong.

dollar collected as taxes was deposited
as county taxes, and public funds, as the

BRIGHT AND LIVELY COMEDY
aiathevr and Bnlger Play to Biff
Uoue at the .liurquam.
Dunne and Ryley's Company, in Hoyt's
"Rag Baby," drew a crowded house at
the Marquam Grand last night. The old
time favorite farce-comedy was rejuve
nated and dressed up In modern toggery
and trimmings, which trimmings consist
ed of a rapid string of specialties, put on
by an all-star troupe. Mathews and Bul
ger wafted back breezes from the "sad
sea. waves," making another record for a
thoroughly good funmaking team. Bulger
as Old Sport made the most of the part,
the standard for which was set so high
by Charley Reed a few years ago. Math
ews and Bulger, In their singing specialty
In the last act, sang a rattling good par
ody on "The Blue and the Gray." Mary
Marble appeared as Venus. Her songs,
assisted by the policeman (Walter Jones)
and the chorus of girls, were winners.
The second act was brimful of specialty
work, the most pleasing of which was
Maude Courtney's medley of old-time
songs, her singing of "My Maryland" and
"Dixie" being especially well received.
Her voice has a peculiarly sweet, soft
quality, suited admirably to her songs.
Walter Jones received several recalls on
account of his Irresistibly funny Irish
songs. Wiseman's Serenaders, a male
quartet, sang good music in a cultured
manner, the audience being loth to see
them leave the stage. In the last act the
pony ballet was the feature. Eight
sprightly dancers added a novel musical
act to an otherwise pretty dance.
The musical choruses and the ensembla
dancing- was well taken care of by a bevy
of pretty girls. The remainder of the large
cast Is In capable hands, the whole show
possessing plenty of ginger.
The "Rag Baby" will be the attraction
tonight.
TELLS A TALL STORY.
Romance of a. Peddler of White
Heron Skins.
A man tanned to a rich saddle color, and
professing to be a hunter, was around
town yesterday selling skins of the white
heron or aigret. He told a romantic story
about some 16 of thwi birds having been
blown Into this country from somewhere,
and about himself having followed them
up for a year or more, and shooting-13 ol
the 16 at Blackhole, a swamp In Idaho,
which may be considered a fairy tale.
Tbis, however, does not affect the skins,
which are very beautiful. Thev nave an
"aigrette." or plume, of long open feath
ers, such as are esteemed as urname'its
for hats and bonnets, on their back, and
the vendor told how these plumes were
elevated when the herons danced. S.--eral
of the skins were sold to persons who
have collections of birds, for 510 each.
The skins probably came from Japnn
or Mexico, In both of which countries such
whlto herons are common, and they are
much used in art decorations on porcola'n
and in embroidering screens, etc Prob
ably 510 is a. pretty round price for the
skins, and the peodler. who is probably a
sailor, or a native of tho tropics Is doing
very well In his little business on the side,
which Is all right, and his fairy tale about
hunting the birds in Idaho Is just calcu
lated to make buyers think that the skins
are very scarce. The Japans&e axe ex
perts In putting up bird skins of roany
klnds for export, and many of them come
to this country.

That's what most people dread
about glasses. They do "not want
to wear them constanUy from
morning till night. If It was only
for reading or sewing or writing,
they wouldn't care so much. In
four cases out of Ave, the people
who have to wear glasses constant
ly are those who put off wearing
them jurt as long as they possibly
can. When the eyes first complain
it Is usually only for a little help
In near work. If you go on forcing
them to do more than they can
bear the result must be a perma
nent weakness.
Give them attention now.
