Not His Fihst Kidnapikq Case.
George A. Bosworth states that Pat
Crowe, who is supposed to be connected
with the kidnaping of young Cudahy in
Omaha, and who Is being so diligently
sought after. Is quite probably the same
Pat Crowe who was implicated In a cele
brated kidnaping case at Pembina, Da
kota Territory, In 1873. Mr. Bosworth was
assistant landing "waiter for the customs
service at Pembina, at that time, and
says Pat Crowe was associated with an
ex-Deputy United States Marshal namco.
Hoye in the kidnaping of a bogus Lora
Gordon, who had fleeced a great many
American capitalists in Chicago and New
York and had escaped Into the Northwest
Territory They succeeded in kidnaping
Gordon and attempted to take him across
the boundary line, but were stopped ana
their scheme foiled by the customs an.
thoritles at Pembina. Hoye was arrested
and convicted and sentenced to one year
in the penitentiary, but Pat Crowe and
others implicated in the affair escaped.
In the following year the swindler and
bogus Lord Gordon, terrified by repeated
attempts of this gang to kidnap him, com
mitted suicide by shooting himself. The
name Pat Crowe and the business he was
engaged in at that time convince Mr. Bob
worth that he is the same person whs
attempted to kidnap Gordon at Pembina
In 1S73.
Death of John Anqel. John Angel, a
well-known real estate operator and pro
moter of mining interests, died last even
ing at St. Vincent's Hospital. He had
been suffering from apoplexy and was re
moved a few days ago from Tenlno,
"Wash., to this city for medical treatment.
Deceased was born in Jackson County,
Oregon, in 1854, and was consequently 43
years of age. His remains will be interred
at Oregon City tomorrow. The funerai
services will be held at Holman's under
taking parlors at 9:45 A. M. Mr. Angel
was an energetic, rustling real estate
dealer during the Vlllard boom times, ana
mary sales were the result of his ability
in that direction. He was also noted a
a mining promoter, and did a good deai
toward bringing the mines of Southern
Oregon into notice. At one time he had
amassed quite a fortune, but through
speculation and otherwise lost it again.
His intimate frlendB remember him as a
large-hearted, genial companion, and the
news of his death will be quite a shock
to a large number of persons la the
Northwest.
Arrested for Foroert. Unable to re
sist the pleasure of visiting his sweet
hearl. J. A. Stleglor arrived In Portland,
yesterday, from San Francisco, and shoru
ly afterwards was arrested by Detectives
Day and "Weiner, charged with passing a
forged time-check. The police say that
Lawrence Hayes, an engineer on the O.
R. & N., got a time-check. In September,
3897, for $79 05, and lost the same before
he could present it to the cashier. Where
the missing check could be was a myster
until a few weeks ago, when, it Is
charged, Stlegler presented the check,
bearing what purported to be Hayes sig
nature, to F. J. Hellen, and induced Mr.
He lien to part with $79 05. A few days
afterward, when the check was handed,
for returns, to the railroad people. It wan
discovered that the signature on the check
was a forgery. In the meantime, Stleglet
had gone to California.
Mat Havh to Ehjjt Off Lights. While
the heads of the different city depart
ments are handing in estimates of their
expenses for the coming year, based on
the idea that the city will find some way
of supplying the amounts asked for, the
Board of Public Works is endeavoring to
flguro out bow it is going to provide foi
the payment of the city lighting. Even
at the greatly reduced cost of lights as
now supplied by the Portland General
Electric Company, the income f-rom the
lmlll tax allowed by law on the present
valuation of city property will not nay
for the lights now in use. If the coming
Legislature does not make some provis
ion for money being transferred from the
general fund to other funds, when there
is any to transfer, the board will have to
cut out about 20 per cent of the lights
now In use.
SfRpniEED Himself. L. E. Wooslcf.
who keeps a notion store at the corner ot
Seventh and Morrison streets, surprised
himself Wednesday evening. He has a
room in a lean-to at the back of his store,
and while he was sitting there muslpg on
the mutability of human affairs and other
things, he fell asleep, and dreamed that
robbers wrre entering his room In search
of his nccumulatlonB of wealth. While
still asleep he made a spring, evldenllv
intending to go through the window, but
as a sleeping man cannot judge distances
wll, he went against tho wall And
knocked out the whole side of hi:,
"house." Just what he would havo dohfe
had jobbers really come In when he was
awake, it is difficult to imagine.

is surmised that the City & Suburban
Ccunpany Intends to pay the amount It

Mat Not Coue Up Todat The report
of the viewers In the matter of the ex
tension of Seventh street, which, with a
remonstrance against the adoption of the
report, wob referred to the street com
mlttcc. Is not likely to come up for con.
side-ration at the meeting of the Council
today. The extension of this street has
been defeated so many times that the
Council will proceed with great caution
in considering the prcsont proceedings,
but it is expected that when they are
sure they are right they will go ahead,
and put the Improvement through as
speedily as possible.
Wiu. Lop Off Trees. A scheme Is on
fact to have a concrete pavement built
around the block occupied by the Armory.
This will necessitate the removal of ah
the trees around the block, for If they are
!eft standing, in a short time their roots
wi'.l heave up the concrete and play havoc
with It. A great many ot the old. ruggr a
pop'ar trees along the streets In the north
pnrt ff town are being cut down, and h.
w.n be a good thing when they are all
gene as the roots or these trees are
choking drains and even sewers, and the
trees are no longer ornamental or useful.
CANVAsnACK Ducks. A fine lot of can
rasback ducks came to market yesterday

jf those fine ducks have been shot in this

The Coweman is quite a stream empty

Wash., after draining the eastern por
tion ot Cowlitz County. This sale was
made through" J. T. and R. J. Moylen, oi
Portland, who arranged matters between
Mr. Green and the owners of the Eeverai
quarter sections Involved. The Moylen
brothers have a logging camp on the
Coweman, and will add a number of men
to their present force after New Tear's,
for the purpose of rafting the logs to
Portland. A dam has been built across
the river, for the purpose of rafting the
logs from a point several miles above, and
at the first flushing, a few weeks ago,
the banks of the stream were cleared of
all loose logs and debris. Mr. Green -will
leave today for his home in Michigan.
Sidewalk Football. Football is all the
rage among the boys during the Christ
mas vacation, and gangs of them may be
seen playing at or practicing for this
game all over town. Many boys received
a football among their Christmas pres
ents, and bumped heads, swollen oheeks
and "black eyes" are prevalent among
these unfortunates. One party practices
daily on the sidewalk of Fourth street,
near the City Hall, and do all the things
which regular teams do, except rolling
around in the mud. They make touch
downs with the ball or with their headN
whichever comes first, and Indulge in
scrimmages on the sidewalk which cause
pedestrians to take to the middle of the
street There Is no help for this except to
be patient and wait till the ball rolls by.

man, Is spending a few days in Portland,
for the benefit of hte health. Mr. Dur

FIXE PRESEXTATIOX OF BUIAVER'S
GREAT riiAY.
Actpr Wnrxnlr Welcomed ly
Houseful of Friends Fraw ley In
"The Sportinsr Duchess."
Frederick Warde selected Bulwer's great
play, "Richelieu," In which to open his
annual engagement at Portland, an event
which discriminating theater-goers look
forward to as a red-letter occasion. He
received the customrary warm welcome
from a houseful of friends, and more
than a holiday share of enthusiastic ap
plause at each curtain, culminating with
the great curse scene. As Warde grows
older no, riper Is the nctter word, for
he is too young and vigorous to be as
sociated in thought with age like good
wine he becmes more satisfying. He Is
smoother, he shades more skillfully; yet
ho has lost nothing of the virility which
stamped his work these 15 years he has
been Portland's favorite star in classical
roles. It is about a decade since Warde
last produced "Richelieu" here, then at
the old New Market. There Is no reason
-why he should not keep the play in his
repertoire.
Perhaps In none of the many characters
In which he has been seen In Portland
has Warde appeared to better advantage
than in that of Richelieu. His moilow In
terpretation of the aged minister, beset
with plotting enemies, the dramatic fire
with which he rises to a climax, and the
pathetic plcturo of feeble age he gives
when his bursts of passion die away, are
all high art. It is a part which fits him
exactly, and in which It is doubtful If his
equal can be found on the .American stage
today.
Being satisfied with Warde in advance,
the avdlence turned with expectancy to
ward the supporting company; nor "was it
disappointed. In the hands of Mr. and
Mrs. E. R, Spencer, de Mauprat and his
young bride Julie, the fond pair around
whom the plots and counterplots are
woven, become real human beings, who
live and breathe and surrcr, whose joys
the audience share and at whose sorrows
It grieves.
Mr. Spencer enters into tho more tragic
scenes with spirit and fire, while Mrs.
Spencer Is as perfect a picture of beauty
in distress as one could wish to look
upon.
F, Forrester, as Count de Banadas,
whose machinations Rlcnelleu meets and
finally crushes, has a duty in the dis
charge of which he can expect no sym
pathy from the audience, disapproval of
his conduct sifting down from the gallery
was a sincere compliment to him.
Douglas Fairbanks, as Francois, whose
errand Inspires the playwright to the
lines: "There is no such word as fall."
is sufficiently earnest and vigorous for
his role. Joseph, in the hands of Walter
Bantley, was the warm-hearted old monk
It was intended he bhould be, albeit his

altogether in keeping with hi? cowl.

"The Sporting Duchess" at Cordray'a.
The Frawley company produced "The
Sporting Duchess" at Cordray's Theater
last night to a well-filled house. The
production and It was a production was
marked by the same elaborate attention
to detail, and sumptuous display of scen
ery, that his marked all the Frawley
plays: and the performers Individually
scored well. "The Sporting Duchess,"
however, like other me'odramas, Is over
loaded with situations, and It must be
given by a company thoroughly trained
In ensemble work and perfectly familiar
with all the little requirements of the
plot, or. rather, succession of plots. If
want of ease and thoroughness to some
extent retarded the harmonious move
ment of the melodrama, much praise
must nevertheless be given the several
membois ot the cast for their filth
ful and conscientious work. Miry Van
Burcn. as the Sporting Duchess, played
the role with great spirit and humor,
and added another to the long list of suc
cesses she has achieved In Portland.
Alice Johhson appeared as Vivien Dar
vllle, the adventuress. To say thafshe
was excellent is deserved, though mild,
praise for this admirable actress. Har
rington Reynolds, as Major Mistyn, who
was the vllllan. carried the part with so
much ease and artls.tic cold-bloodedness
cs to win the hearty dislike of the audi
ence for the scheming Major, and its
warm appreciation of his own fine quali
ties as an act6r. J. R. Amory was very
amusing as Dr. Streatfield, and Frank
Matthteu was quite acceptable as the
Earl of Desborough.
Tonight the company will appear in
"Madame Sans Gene," and Miss Van
Buren will be seen again in the name
part. "Madame Sins Gene" was given
here on the recent appearance df the
Frawley company, to the great dsllght
and satisfaction of a very large audience.
LETTER TO M'KINLEY.
Indian "Wir Veteran Writes on the
Subject of Pensions.
WOODBURN, Dec. 27. The following
open letter to President MoKlnley has
been written here by an Indian War vet
eran: To Hon. William McKInlcy. President
of the United States, Washington Dear
Sir: I read in your recent message to
Congress, under the caption, "Pensions
and Pfltpnfs." the fnllunnir sentence:
j "Tha Government Justly appreciates the
services of Its soldiers and sailors by
making pension payments liberal beyond
precedent to tho men, their widows and
orphans."
Now, this Is vory good, nut if tho word
"all" could have been truthfully Inserted
it would have been still better. I make
this statement for this reason: There is.
principally on this " Northwest Coast, a
remnant of between COO and TOO men out
of a total of 7000, who. 44 and 45 years
ago, fought as hard and as long and un
derwent as great hardships and priva
tions to hold this country for the Gov
ernment as did tho United States Army
to conquer and hold Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands.
As far as my knowledge extends, but
two of those men of whom I speak have
been pensioned, and they recently. I think
during the last session of Congress. And
as these old veterans have now nearly all,
if not all, reached the threescore and ten
mark, these two cannot reasonably ex
pect verv long to enjoy the Government's
Uborallty.
The country secured to this Govern
ment by these old ploneor veterans has
already added sufficient wealth to buy
several small archipelagoes, with enough
loft over to buy a few seats In the United
States Senate at Montana prices, with a
possible future that no man can contem
plate. At the close of the Indian War in
this country In 1S57, these old soldiers sent
to the Government a reasonable bill for
their services. The matter was referred
to a l.beral-minded third auditor, who al
I lowed them 1-3 oents on the do.lar. Ever
since that time they have been urging
this Government to pay them the balance
due, without result. They have also asked
the Government .for bounty land war
rants, the same as were Issued to Mexi
can War and other veterans. But in this
they s re confronted with the fact that
all tha public domain worth anything has
btoa. given to a few rich private corpora
tions. In the form ef subsidies. (By the
way. I think that that word subsidy
L ought to be eliminated from the English
.language Mr. Hanna to tho contrary not-
f withstanding.)
They nave also ask.d to cc pensioned
and placed upon the roll of honor with
other defenders of the flay, but up to date
without results.
Among the old veterans there is not
one single anarchist. Every man of them
is a patriot, and believes today that he
is living under the best government oh
the face of tha earth which is true Snd
has no general complaints against the
Government, yet all do trelieve that the
Government nas been sadly remiss in its
duty to them Individually.
I suppoBe you have heard of the Oregon
boys who played so conspicuous a part
in the capture of the Island of Luzon.
Well, they are "chlpB from these same
old blocks." They are the s.ons and grand
sons of these same old pioneer -veterans.
And, while the Government may con
tinue to ignore the old ones, I have no
doubt that it will, in due course ot time,
honor the boys. And when It does so
and the news reaches the old men on
tho other side of the river, it "may create
a feeling at least ot some satisfaction.
Tours respectfully, J. A. KEMP.
'
NOVEL CHRISTMAS' PLAY.
Santa Clans Entertainment
at the
Children's Home.
A novel and interesting Christinas en
tertainment was given at ihe Children's
Home in South Portland-yesterday morn
ing, about 25 children taking part in it.
The play was a musical, one, and repre
sented the children on their way to the
land of ice and snow, searching for Si nta
Claus. Wahiita and Francesca lead their
comrades on -the quest, and soon meet
nith Jack Rabolt, who, after some merry
homering, concents to be their eulde.
ltey wander al out with lanterns tfraong
the. snow-ladea fli trees, encountering
three witches In high-peaked hats brew
In? a potion In a huge caldron. These
S'vc them matfc bella,fto help them In
their search. An electric dance with gaily
colored ribbons furnishes another scene,
and then after more wrinderlngs, they ar
rive at a little house glittering with frost
and snow in a forest of pine trees. At
Die tinkle of tin magic bells Santa Claus
comes out, rotund and Jolly, with a red
coat and long white beard and n. sleepy
air, for the sound of the bells had Just
awakened him from hls lone Winter's
nap. With him appears Xunetta, queen
of the frost fairies, clad in snow raiment,
a-sparkle with icicles..
Much work had been expended on the
costnmes of the children by Miss Emma
Sternberg, who had conceived and
planned the entertainment in all its de
tails. The long-eared, gray masque of
Rabbit, in particular, was an exception
ally clever piece of work. And one little
man ot 3 years, attired bravely In
scarlet, old-time Colonial costume, was
followed by all eyes. Some ot the chil
dren showed themselves to be tho pos
sessors of very fresh, sweet voices, no
tably Wahnita.
All the Christmas decorations remained
intact, showing the. full extent of the
loving labor that had been expended Up
on the holiday season. It has been found
that the children derive more enjoyment
from the Christmas festivities when the
house is not thrown open to outside
guests, both plans having been tried. Ac
cordingly, this year general visitors wcro
not admitted to the Christmas tree fcstlv-
provided with gifts by kind friends, sO
that every child had two or three pres
ents. One contrlbutlcn that was mdeh ap
preciated by Mrs. Ward, the matron, and
her oharges, was 40 dolls from the firm
of Woodard, Clarko & Co.
FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CHILD
Daughter of Wlllinra F. "WoodTrard
Killed by a Street-Car.
In getting off a wagon on which sho
had been riding- with her playmates, near
her home yesterday afternoon. S-year-old
Frances Woodward, of 660 Hancock street,
stepped In front of a rapidly advancing
trolley car, and was so severely Injured
that sho died 45 minutes afterward. The
accident took place on East Fifteenth
street, near Tillamook. The little girl
Is a daughter of William F. Woodward,
secretary and treasurer of Wcodard,
Clarke & Co.
At the time of the accident, or rather
immediately preceding It, the wagon,
which was driven by a careful man,
friendly to the children, had drawn up
near the track, and,the children were step
ping out. The back curtains of the
wagon had unfortunately dropped. The
driver had cautioned the little ones, but
Just as the car approached, Catharine
and Frances were Jumping out, ana run
ning across. Frances did not see the
car or slipped and fell, and the car was
too near her to be stopped. The car was
one of the City & Suburban's, and no
blame whatever Is attached to the motor
man. The unconscious child was con
veyed to the house ota neighbor, and
medical aid was summoned, but she did
not recover consciousness. She was a
bright, loving little child, and widespread
sympathy Is expressed for tho bereaved
parents.
NEW YEAR'S FOOTBALL.
Both Mnltnouialis and Snlcms Hare
Surprises in Store.
The old-time rivalry that made the feud
between the Portland and Multnomah
football teams of some five years ago jo
intense, is to a large degree assuming
a like proportion in the present contest
between Sa.lem and Multnomah today.
Curiously enough, the one-time local ene
mies are fighting shoulder to shoulder In
the present contest: for the redoubtable
Downs was once Idolized by every Mult-nomah-hater
from Goose Hollow to Sulli
van's Gulch, as the best line-breaker
and fiercest dude-smashcr that ever came
out of Slabtown. Hamilton was also held
by the enemy.
The gaiety if not the uncertainty of the
New Tear's game between tho local and
Salem teams is being heightened by the

play. - -
It is fortunate that these men are eligi
ble, as Multnomah has this year lost
more valuablo men by reison of accident
than ever before. With McMillan. Mc
Klnnon, and Dr. Myers out of the Christ
mas game, it may truly be said that
two second elevens were contesting. Of
course, Salem nas not tried to outweep
Niobr as Multnomah has become more
and more crippled, and may make some
protest at the new blood injected, but tho
pertinent statement was given out by one
of the local cjub offlcors that Inasmuch
as the Salem teim. though nominally
representing the "Capital Amateur Ath
letic Club," was In fact made up by
scouring the whole upper end of the
Willamette Valley, snd It therefore could
not kick with clean hands, as "one given
to bulls would siy.
STEIWER ON LEGISLATION.
Ferrer Lrnvs Xeeded Son-committal
as to Senntorship.
State Senator W. W. Steiwer, ot.FossIl,
who U at the Imperial, does not think
much legislation Is necessary this time,
and he favors rather the repeal of laws,
instead of adding any more to the stat
utes. He thinks, however that certain
amendments are necessary In regard to
the collection of taxes, and would vote
for penalty on property-owners who ne
glect to pay. The present law, he said
last evening. Is loosely drawn and badly
carried out. as Sheriffs can neglect to en
force the sale pf property for delinquent
taxes it they feel like It.
"Road districts also need attending to,"
continued Senator Stelwer, "as the pres
ent law, enacted last Legislature, pro
vides that no more than one precinct
may be Incorporated in a road district.
This creates more Road Supervisors than
necessary, and the law should be changed
permitting more than one voting pre
cinct in a road district."
As regards the next United States Sen
ator. Mr. Stelwer Is non-commlttnl, and
Is pledged to no particular candidate. He
thought it was a little too early to ex
press an opinion on the matter Inst even
ing, and will bide his time until the
question comes properly before the Legis
lature, he said.
Senator Stelwer's home town. Fossil.
Is the county seat of the new county of
Wheeler, and the authorities there are
considering the prospect of building a
courthouse. They favor a duplicate of
tho one constructed at Moro. Sherman
County, last year. This edifice, he said.
Is of brick and cost some ?7000. Elds
will be received by the Wheeler County
Court at Fossil, In Jahuary. for a court
house Just like Sherman's.
Although 60 miles from Arlington, the
railroad depot for Fossil, the people of
Wheeler County are nit suffering for
rail communication-, as are those of Gil
liam, which lies between Wheeler and
the railroad. The reason of this, Senator
Stelwer says. Is, Wheeler being a stock
country, has little difficulty In transport
ing its products to Arlington, whllo the
farmers In Southern Gilliam have to haul
their wheat 40 miles In many Instances.
At the present price of wheat, farmers
cannot afford to spend four days hauling
a load to market, and so a line Into Gil
Ham County is ardently wished for.
