Saved Br Heroic Methods. 'Mrs. C.
Johnson, about 23 years old, 309 Jefferson
street, swallowed laudanum yesterday,
and for some time afterward her life was
despaired of, but by the prompt work of
Harry Stryker, a clerk at Byerlcy's drug
etorc. Tenth and Jefferson streets, she
-was brought out of danger. Early In the
morning Mrs. Johnson visited the drug
store and asked for laudanum, and as
she is well known in tho neighborhood
her request was complied with. Some lit
tle time afterward a woman rushed to
the drug store and Bald, in an excited
manner, that Mrs. Johnson had taken
laudanum -with the Intention of doing
harm to herself. Stryker ran to the
house with restoratives, and when Mrs.
Johnson saw him she said: "Go away. 1
don't want you to do anything for me."
It was only by using physical strength
that Stryker managed to get an antidote
down the woman's thrat. After Mrs.
Johnson recovered she refused to explain
why she tried to end her life. Last night
she was resting easily.
Helped Himself to a "Wagon. James
"Wilson,"" well dressed and adorned with
several diamonds, stood yesterday after
noon at Sixth and "Washington streets,
considerably under the influence of liquor,
and debated within himself how to get to
the Terminal depot In a hurry, to board
a train. Walking was out of the quest-on.
An express team was standing near,
owned by James S. Bubb. but the latter
was not around, so Wilson climbed into
the wagon, whipped the horse, and said:
"Git up." He then drove with breakneck
speed to the depot, and was In the act or
getting possession of his baggage to leave
Portland behind him, when Policeman
Kltzmlller, who had noticed Wilson's
behavior, arrested him. As Wilson was
being driven to the police station he sud
denly asked: "Say, how Is it I'm In this
wagon? I don't remember getting into it."
Simpson Makes a Masteklt Escape.
When Sam Simpson awoke yesterday
morning at the City Jail, after he had
been arrested for drunkenness, he said he
had a headache, and was given liberty to
work around the jail in cleaning up the
corridor. Then the supply of coal ran
low In the jail stove, and Simpson said:
"Glmmo the coal bucket. You'll see how
soon I can get coal from the bin outside."
Five minutes passed, and then 10 min
utes, and the prisoners began to growl.
"Where's that coal? I'm cold." Search
was made, but although the coal bucket
-was found on Oak street, Simpson's pres
ent address Is unknown.
Mrs. Johnson Turned Loose. Mrs.
True Johnson, colored, arrested In Omaha,
Neb., charged with complicity in the $10,
000 diamond robbery at the Portland Ho

ing was In charge of Mrs. Harvey Bailey,
who spoke of the extensive work and far
reaching plans of the W. C. T. U. with
its multiform branches. Miss Frances

remarks, calling attention to the fact

dered by drunken husbands during the
year, and pleaded for an energetic contin
uance of the work.
Market Full of Tubkets. Poultry or
all kinds, dressed and undressed, was in
largo supply yesterday. Stacks of it were
piled up in some commission stores, and
manufacturers were seen buying geese
and turkeys by the boxful for Christmas
presents for their employes. By evening
about all the birds had been disposed of.
except a few monstrous turkeys, weigh
ing 20 pounds and upwards. The largest
one seen this season weighed 2S pounds,
and was a beauty, fit for the dinner of
old Santa Claus himself. There are thou
sands of turkeys in the retail markets,
and many a jaw will ache. Before they
aro all finally disposed of many will feel
like singing: "Of turkeys hot and turkeys
cold, turkeys young and turkeys old, tur
keys tender and turkeys tough, the Lord
be praised, I've had enough."

guests. The menu 'cards were cleverly il
lustrated on the reverse side with pen and
ink drawings.
Not Expensive Enough for Him. A
young man dropped into an umbrella store
yesterday. Intending to buy an umbrella
for his sweetheart "something sensible
and seasonable," as ha remarked, for a
Christmas present, and certainly userul.
He asked to see some nice umbrellas, and
was shown a lot ranging in price from
520 each up. The expression of his coun
tenance caused the dealer to Imagine that
these were not what was wanted. So he
was shown higher and higher-priced ones,
and finally a carved-lvory handle, price
530, on which he was told he could have
any kind" of an umbrella he desired con
structed. The dealer remarked that he
had sold the nicest handle be had for 5125.
The young man concluded to wait till
some more of the good handles arrived.
Christmas Rainbows Appear. At 3:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon two partial
rainbows spanned an arc of the eastern
sky, reaching about two-thirds of the way
to the zenith. One was unusually bril
liant, but the other looked like a reflec
tion of the first. The east avas overcast
with heavy rain clouds at the time, while
everywhere else the sky was clear and
blue. The display lasted only a short time,
the rainbows growing snorter and short
er till they both disappeared.

went duck hunting Sunday did not, as a

private snap killed 40 mallards. Others
shot principally teal.

CRUSHED BYAN ELEVATOR
ALARMING EXPHRIEIfCE OF YOUNG
CHRIS. FANCEL.
With His Feet Causrht, the Ascending-
Vehicle Frlgrhtfally Lacer
ates His Less and Body.
Much excitement was created in the
printing establishment of C H. Crocker
& Co., in the old Oregonian building, at
Front and Stark streets, yesterday, by
the agonizing cries of a boy who was
caught between the freight elevator and
the casing of the shaft, and as was sup
posed was being slowly crushed to death
while the elevator, of which he had lost
control, kept slowly ascending.
The boy, -whose name is Chris Fancel, 17
years of age, had been taking a box down
to the ground floor. The elevator, being
only for freight, is not Inclosed, but the
elevator shaft is Inclosed with a casing
of wood. When at the second floor one
of Fancel's feet got caught between the
edge of the elevator and the casing jof the
shaft, and soon the other foot was drawn
in, and Fancel, it appears, lost control
c the elevator, and it continued to ascend
slowly, drawing him further In, until his
body stopped him. As the elevator went
up the clothing was torn from the front
ot his legs, and they wero dreadfully lac
erated. His cries during his progress
were heartrending, but as the casing pre
vented any one from seeing what was the
matter with him, no one could tell what
had happened. The employes in the otllce
were rushing frantically around for an
ax to chop down the casing, and it was
some time before one could be found a"nd
tho vlctkn released. He was almost un
conscious when gotten out, and was not
able to give any clear account of how
the accident happened. He was sent to a
sanitarium, where his Injuries were pro- i
iiuuiitcu veiy severe, dui not necessarily
fatal.
There is no regular attendant In charge
of this elevator, or of freight elevators
generally. Messrs. Crocker & Co. have an
accident policy on the elevator, and the
bill for attendance on the injured boy will
be paid by tho insurance company.
MRS. MACKENZIE'S FUNERAL

The funeral of Mrs. Cora Mackenzie,

from Trinity Church at 2 o'clock yester
day afternoon. At 1:30 o'clock brief serv
ices were conducted at the family resi
dence by Rev. A. A. Morrison, rector of
Trinity. Long before the funeral cortege
reached the church a multitude of mourn
ing friends had filled every available pew,
and many crowded about the aisles dur
ing the services.
Dr. Morrison read the impressive funeral
service of the Episcopal Church, and
tho white -robed choir sang appro
priate hymns. Dr. Mackenzie was ac
companied by his two little girls, Jean
and Barbara, -while a few Intimate friends

McKee, W. S. SIbson, Thornas Kerr, Will
lam Macmaster, Allen Lewis, S. Heltshu,

tives in Montreal.
K0K0M0TNE KING.
The second week's engagement of
Flynn's London Gaiety Girls at the Frcd
ericksbunr started off lnst nte-ht tvIh a
rush. The house, was crowded, and the
crowd was in a roar from start to finish.
The girls are shapely, good looking and
lively. John A. Flynn, as King, of the
Garbage Islands, is exceedingly good, and
the dashing maids of his court left noth
Jng unsaid or undone that could be de
sired. Some of It is decidedly risque,
but it took with the crowd. It was some
what of a venture on the part of the
management In an attempt of this mag
nitude, but he crowded attendance and
the enthusiastic reception, have Justified
it. It is not a show that can ever be
seen here at tho regular theaters, and its
appearance at the Fredericksburg Is
meeting a popular reception.

Another day records fourteen more piano
and organ sales at EHers Piano House.
Did you see the window full of Christmas
presents? Did you see the big row of
pianos marked "sold" In the rear of our
store, all to be delivered Christmas? Sure
ly Santa Claus is going to be a busy man
at Portland's busy piano store.
Intelligent and discriminating buyers,
after making careful investigation, in
variably deal with EHers Piano House.
There are many reasons for this. The
best pianos are sold here. They are sold
at lowest possible prices. Thousands of
customers who have bought pianos here,
recommend their friends and relatives to
do the same. Customers arc sure of just
treatment here, and they will find here
easy terms of payment.
Kimball, Decker, Weber, Chickering and
other fine pianos, which we sell, never
disappoint, and at the present time these
pianos can be secured at greatly reduced
prices.
Saturday we delivered twelve fine pianos
and organs, and a round half-dozen more
were to be delivered later on.
We have two sample nlanos which we
sell at 51GS. This identical make and style
of pianos have been offered by other Port
land dealers for 5223. When you consider
real merit In value, thcro ib always, as In
this Instance, as great a difference in
price between our house and others in
this city who are trying to compete with
us. Do you wonder we are selling lots of
pianos and organs? Isn't it a wonder
