THE MOANING OKEGONIAlSr, THURSDAY, 'AUGUST 29, 1901. M'CLOSKEY'S TIGERS WON TOOK FIRST GAME OF SERIES iFROJI PORTLAND XIXE. Heavy Batting and Fast Fielding Gave Visitors Five Runs Port land Scored in the First. Tacoma's Tigers took the first game of the series yesterday, 5 to L It was a rattllne. gingery game, the kind that be gins with a rush and a jump and Is talked up all the while the players arc on the diamond. The Tigers, in spite of their stripes and their previous hard luck stories, are ball players, and they certainly did things to Manager Grlm's aggregation yesterday. They did it with sticks. These they handled without gloves, and when a ball that they took a fancy to sailed over the plate from the hands of their jovial friend, Mr. Salis bury, why, they just swung on it for singles or two-baggers. This pleased the crowd. Portland's continuous march of progress toward the pennant was getting as monotonous as a full-dinner-pall pro cession. Even the most loyal Portland rooter has been hoping for several days that the local stars that have been crow ing victoriously and strutting on the dia mond would .get bumped. They did. Portland, however, with one or two ex ceptions, played a first-class exhibition and fielded in good style.. This kept the visitors' score down to a reasonable size. But when it came to touching up the de livery of one James Vraln, who la dled out the curves and twists for Man ager McCloskey's infants, the Portlands were like mudlarks trying to shine on dry turf. Portland Scored First Rnn. It was in the first inning after the Ta coma batsmen had gone out after getting two men on bases that the Portlands scored their usual run. Muller went to first through the co-operation of the cor dial Mr. Stultz. Delsel came up witn a neat sacrifice hit that advanced Muller to second. The crowd yelled when Andy Anderson stepped up to the plate and gripped his bat. He lined out the ball to center, and Miller scored. On Flannery's error Anderson went to second. Things looked lively when Tinker came up with a hit, which sent Anderson to third. The prompt work of one Mickey Xynch in right field prevented Anderson from scor ing, although on the play Tinker reached second. Weed was the next man to come up. The natives were startled when he bumped the ball to second. Anderson at tempted to score, and Stultz threw him out at the home plate, although Anderson protested that Zearfoss did not touch him. "'He didn't touch me, and he hasn't touched me yet," said Andy to the um pire. Nothing doing though. ' McDonald would not budge one budge. The second time the crowd lost a year's growth in that inning was when Mr. Tinker thought he would steal home. One of the spec tators described his attempt In this way: "I soly, who is this 'ere Tinker? Was that 'e who Jolly well tried to steal 'Is way ome? E didn't take a tram car vou know, but took to 'is bloomln' 'eels. Hand then, who is this M"sieur St. Vrain? 'E bowled 'em out at the 'ome plate. Now don't you 'onestly think baseball is a bloomln queer sport?" Tinker did elec trify the crowd when he tried to steal home on Jimmy- It was the kind of electricity that rubs the hair on the back of a cat the wrong way. Tacoma Shone in Third. It was in the third that the Tacomai' nine showed that they were past masJli ters in the art of wielding the stick, -pith one man out, Murdock rapped out a long two-bagger that knocked a spot of red paint off a champagne ad on the fence. Flannery followed suit with the same kind of a hit that went over the fielders' heads in the same neighborhood. Murdpck leis urely ran in. Lynch made the second out 'by striking three times at Salisbury's elusive curves. Melntyre scored Flannery on a hit to second. Portland kept going out in one, two, three order and there were no doings when the home nine was at the bat, save the flying out to the field, or an occa sional neat assist that they helped the Tacoma fielders to pick up. When Port land was In the field there was clever work. In the fifth, after Flannery liad lined out another two-bagger, and had reached third on Mahafey's error in handling Sal isbury's assist of Lynch's grounder, an other run seemed Imminent. Lynch started to go down to second. "Vlgneux threw the ball to Anderson, who returned It in time to put out Flannery at the home plate. There was another pretty play In the seventh. McCarthy rapped out a cracking hit over third. He at tempted to stretch it into a double but Muller neatly fielded the ball, and made a pretty throw to Delsel, who put Mc Carthy on the relieved list. Great Doings in the Eighth. In the eighth there was a procession of striped stockings across the home plate. Melntyre started out with a hit. Mc Closkey attempted a sacrifice. The ball went to Tinker, who leaped after it like a ' hound catching a hare. Turning quickly he threw the ball to second base, bu? there was no one covering the bag, and all hands were safe, Including Honest John, who had ambled to first expecting to be put out. A base on balls handed to Btultz filled the bases. There were do ings on the next play. Zearfoss tapped the ball to Anderson, who threw it to Vlgneux to force Melntyre out at the home plate. Vlgneux caught it all right, but Umpire McDonald held that he did not have his foot on the home base. Me lntyre was safe. This made run 3. Then St. Vrain flew out to Brown. On the throw in McCloskey scored run 4. Mc Carthy flew out to Tinker. Murdock scored Stultz on a long hit to center run 5. This hit was neatly fielded to third by Brown in time to catch Zearfoss. It was all off hut the shouting, and the Tacomas supplied the deficiency whv the Portlands failed to bring off th cloud burst advertised, which was to float the five winning runs across the plate in the ninth. Speller Copeland made a long and glittering announcement that today's game would be in the nature of a benefit to the free swimming bath fund, ladies free. "'Hoping to see all of you present at the above mentioned games, with a greatly increased and augmented number of new faces at your sides, I am yours most respectfully." The score: TACOMA. A.B. R. H.

HER FOURfH TRIAL SPIN SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE OF SHAMROCK IN NEW YORK BAY. Sir Thomas Was Not on Board, but His " Guests Followed the . Yacht on the Erin. - NEW YORK, Aug. 28. The fourth trial spin of Shamrock II in these waters was sailed today, and was not attended with any exciting Incidents. The yacht did not go outside Sandy Hook as expected, but sailed from Squthwest Spit buoy to Stat en Island twice, covering a distance of about 30 miles In four hours. Sir Thomas Lipton was not on board, nor was Design er Watson. The yacht's mainsail was hoisted at 10:40, and 10 minutes later the same club topsail that was set yester day went up. The wind was light from the southeast at this time, and when the yacht filled away and headed for the Southwest Spit buoy, she was traveling at a six-knot gait. As she entered the channel. Captain Sycamore headed her straight for Staten Island, giving her a good full. The steam, yacht Erin, mean while, had taken on board a number of the members of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, who had been brought to Sandy Hook by the police boat Patrol. At At lantic Highlands she picked up some oth ers who had come down on the Sandy Hook boats, and she now followed Sham rock up the channel to the northward. Every passing steamer saluted the yacht as she sailed at almost steamboat speed up the bay. From Coney Island Point down to the Southwest Spit It was a long stretch, close hauled on the port tack. Shamrock was able to lay her course easily in the smooth water, and she passed the buoy at 1:25. She had covered the first half in one hour 15 minutes against a strong tide, and the second half in just 50 minutes. This was considered by the experts to be very good. After a bit of maneuvering, Captain Sycamore gybed her and started back over the same course with a some what lighter breeze, and with exactly the same sail that the yacht had carried in yesterday's spin. This time she only went to Caven Shoal buoy, about a mile outside the Narrows, and then turning around she made another long stretch on the port tack to the spit buoy, where she quit for the day. Mny Change Constitution's Crew. NEW YORK, Aug. 2S. On the authority of a member of the New York Yacht Club it is stated that unless Constitution can make a better showing the captain and crew of Columbia will be substituted for the present company on the defender. Captain Barn, when asked about a report that the crews of Columbia and Constitu tion were to exchange places, s-Bid he had heard nothing of such a plan. "Columbia," he said," is in splendid con dition, and It would be hard to improve her. I have no doubt she is faster than two year9 ago how much faster it is lm poslble to say. The reason for her In creased speed la the perfect fit of her mainsail. ' THE DAY'S RACES. Dolly Bidwell Won the Roger Wil liams Stakes at Providence. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Aug. 2S.

HUMANITA Nomimal Fee System in Vogue at the Copeland Institute the Strongest Standing Indictment of the Boodle Spirit in Medicines --$5 a Month, Treatment and Medicines Included, the Limit of Expense Allowed by Dr. Copeland. STEER CLEAR Steer clear of the boodler in medical practice. Do not stand In awe of the doctor who feels your pulse and then shakes his head to frighten you over your condition and make you pay 10 times over what his services are worth. The medi cal profession, like every other profession, has its pretenders, its mountebanks, its merciless impostors. The nominal assess ment system in vogue at the Copeland In stitute is the invalid's protection from the wolf and the boodler In medicine. Five dollars a month, medicine included, for the most effective treatment known. PROTECT THE WEAK The fame of the Copeland medical sys tem is based on the two-fold service it has rendered to society. First, in the evolution of more enlight ened methods, of disease treatment, it has added chronic catarrh, deafness, asthma, bronchitrs, kidney trouble and Incipient consumption tto the medical list of curable infirmities, while in less virulent ailments it has percepti bly reduced the -period of pro fessional atten tion requisite to their cure. It Ends the Nonsense ef Life-Long Doctoring. has nded the nonsense of the life-long doctprlng for diseases that promptly yield to correct diagnosis, followed by correct treatment Second, the Copeland system has given the public its first great lesson In medical economy. By limiting the expense outlay of patients to J5 a month, medicines in cluded, until cured (and no pat!ent is ever permitted to pay more), it has bared the public eye of the devilish iniquity and crime of bleedlne: th unfnrtnnntp stHc with preposterous fees. I And, while exposing the boodler in medi cine, to the angry suspicion of the world, it saves the invalid from becoming their prey, because, If there Is no statute law preventing a dishonest doctor from charg ing a dishonest fee, neither is there law or necessity for the sufferer, with the Copeland system before him. to become a dupe and pay the fee. He don't have to. CONSULTATION THE COPELAND MEDICAL THE W. H. COPELAND, M. D. J. H. MONTGOMERY. M. PURSUIT OF A MURDERER MISSOURI COMMUNITY UP IX ARMS AFTER A NEGRO. Brntal Assailant of n White Woman May Be Burn,ed nt the Stake if Captnrcd. KANSAS CITY, Aug. 28. "Bossle"' Francis, the nesrro who outraged and murdered Miss Mary Henderson at Co lumbus. Mo., last night, has not yet been captured, but 400 or 500 men are tonight scouring the woods In the vicinity of the sceno of the crime and it Is said Francis cannot possibly escape. It Is not known whether he fled on horseback or on foot, but the pursuit was begun so soon after the discovery of the crime that every out let from the country was closed promptly. Francis had always lived about Columbus, knows every foot of territory thereabouts and Is more likely to hide in the bush than to flee to a strange district. The vines and weeds along the creek-beds are very tall and tangled, and afford good shelter. The volunteers will hunt all night and will be relieved by others to morrow. Bloodhounds were sought last night but were not obtainable while the trail was fresh. Francis will un doubtedly be lynched If captured. Bud Francis, brother of the murderer, took to the woods after the discovery of the crime. He was seen today near Cen tejvlew, and when caught will be strung up, members of the posse say, and com pelled to tell what he knows of his brother's whereabouts. Members of a negro family named Briscoe, living near the Hyatt farm, are believed to know something about the murderer's flight, and pressure will be applied to make them tell. When the men of the family were questioned today, Mrs. Briscoe told them to say nothing. It is believed Francis passed the Briscoe place after the mur der. The murder of Miss Mary Henderson was one of' the crue'lest and most cold blooded ever perpetrated In Johnson County. The fact that it occurred in the country made its commission easier and escape of the murderer simpler. Miss Henderson was the twin sister of Mrs. W. C. Hyatt, and lived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hj-att, a few miles out of Columbus, which Is off the railroad and 40 miles south of Kansas City. Hyatt, who Is a well-known Herford breeder, and formerly a prominent Populist politician, and his wife left. Miss Henderson alone in the afternoon while they Tvent to the cemetery near town to superintend the building of a monument. Miss Henderson and "Bossle" Francis, the negro, were the only persons on the premises. When the Hyatts returned at 7 o'clock, they found Miss Henderson lying in the yard in a pool of blood and unconscious from a bullet wound In the head and through the usage she had undergone. She had been assaulted and shot. The bullet had entered the back of her head and came out at the forehead. She revived enough to say that "Bossle" had entered the house about 6 o'clock, and grabbing her by the neck from behind, began to choke her. She had jumped out of the open window to escape, and been followed by the negro, assaulted and shot. The scene in the yard gave evidence of a ter rible struggle. Soon after giving these details Miss Henderson died. Out in the lot a fine blooded horse was found dead. It had been shot by Fran cis, apparently to prevent the beast being used to follow him. Francis had secured a good start by the time the Hyatts re turned." Immediately after the woman died the alarm was given at Columbus. A mob of farmers was formed soon, and, well armed, began a search of the coun try near by. Because of the lack of wire facilities, the news of the murder did not reach surrounding towns until after midnight. Then it was telegraphed from town to town, and early this morning the whole country was in an uproar, armed men searching in all directions. The most Intense excitement prevailed, and the smallest bit of Information was eagerly seized upon. There was a generally ex THE COPELAND TREATMENT) It cures. It is mild. It is soothlns.

Mrs. Carrie Na tion arrived In this city today. She had an interview with Police Commissioner Murphy, during which he told her that she would be arrested If she violated the law In this city. Mrs. Nation also called at John L. Sullivan's saloon to see the ex-pugllist In reference to a statement he was alleged to have made to the effect that he "would throw her Into the sewer." Sulllyan sent down word that he was lit, but made an appointment to meet her next Monday. She then went to see Arch bishop Corrigan, but he was out of town. When Mrs. Nation entered police head quarters she was shown at once to Com missioner Murphy's room. In opening her Interview with the Commissioner she said she had called upon him for an account of his stewardship, and asked him If he did not think New York was an awful wicked place. The Commissioner replied in the negative, and Mrs. Nation repeated the question as an assertion, whereupon Mr. Murphy requested her to stop, say ing he would not discuss the matter with her. She continued, however, to ply the Commissioner with questions concerning drinklng-places, all of which he refused to answer. Mrs. Nation said she had come here to do the city some good. "You don't know what you are taiKing about." said Commissioner Murphy. "Go back to Kansas and stay there. If you want to do something, why.don't you do it for your husband?" "I have no husband now," said Mrs. Nation. "I suppose you know all about that matter?" "Oh, yes," said Commissioner Murphy-. "I congratulate Mr. Nation. He ought to be a happy man now." "Why don't you want to discuss Sun day saloons?" asked Mrs. Nation, and the Commissioner replied, angrily: "Because I don't want to. I won't sit here and be lectured." "What! Do you mean to say that you won't discuss good morals In New York? Don't you want to talk about the clos ing up of these hellholes and murder shops? Do you think I am crazy?" "Yes. I do," responded Commissioner Murphy. Mrs. Nation then addressed Mr. Mur phy as "father," which the Commissioner warmly resented, but the Kansas re former persisted. "Father, don't you think a little 'hatchet action' would be good for New York?" she asked. "If you violate the laws I will have you locked up," responded Mr. Murphy, j Commissioner Murphy finally termlnat.j JTEER CLEAR Steer clear of patent cure-allsT To try to attack a hidden disease by means of a secret cure-all nostrum is the same piece of Insanity as for an Invalid to go blindfolded into a drug store and eac medcine from the shelves without guid ance to what is good and without? warn ing against what is bad.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23. In Paraguay the women and children show their active po litical sympathies by wearing the colors of their parties. "If American manufacturers want to sell their print cloths, to the people of Paraguay they must furnish goods with either a red or blue base," John N. Ruflln United States Consul at Asuncion. Para guay, explained in an interview last night. Mr. Ruffln Is arranging to return to his post in about two weeks. He has been Consul at Asuncion for five years and has spent many years in South America. "There are two leading political parties in Paraguay, the Colorados and the Azuls," he continued. "The color of the Colorados is red and of the Azuls blue. The party in power now is the Colorados, or what might be properly called the Lib erals. The Intense partisanship of every man. woman and child Is simply astonish ing. A member of the 'red' party would no more allow his wife or children to wear clothing In which the predominating coor was blue than he would vote the 'blue ticket himself. The 'blues' are the same way. and as a result the party's color has had a distinct action In the colors of the clothing of the people. I fee! that Amer ican print cloth manufacturers ought to know this In order that they may be guided in the patterns they ship to Para guay." Mr. Ruflln Is enthusiastic over the future possibilities of Paraguay, and is anxious to aid In developing trade between that country and the United States. He says the present great barrier to trade is the lack of direct steamships between the United States and Paraguay and the other South 'American countries. Steamer Empire's Shaft Broken. VICTORIA. B.
