Messej,ger Bots Raise a How. A lot
of messenger boys had a highly enjoy
able time, jesterday afternoon, making
a nose and pretending to go on a strike.
They also created a great deal of amuse
ment for a number of people -who wit
nessed the affair. None of the boys had
any grievance to complain of, except one
.riay Lucky, who has been discharged In
succession from the service of the Postal
Telegraph Company, the Hastv Messen
ger Service, and the Western Union Tele
graph Company. Being a natural born
agitator, and out of a Job, he concluded to
btart a Messenger Boys Union, and or
ganize a strike, and yesterday afternoon
he undertook to-muster his forces. He
found only one recruit among the. West
ern Union messenger boys, -who, on giv
ing It out that he -was for Lucky, was
promptly requested to surrender his
badge, which he did, but very reluctantly.
Seeing a crowd of boys on Stark, near
Third, and hearing talk of a strike, the
employers of messenger boys were asked
what all the noise was about and said
they did not know. Their boys were
satisfied, and had made no demands on
them. Jeff Hayes, who had lately ar
ranged to pay his boys SO per cent of their
earnings and $5 per month salary, learn
ing that some of the boys preferred the
old style of receiving 40 per cent of tbelr
earnings, at once agreed to the change,
and so there was nothing for any of the
boys to complain of, except Lucky, who
endeaored to keep up the rumpus. The
boys soon got tired of the fun and Lucky
with a few outsiders went up to the
Pofctal Telegraph office, and by making a
noise, attracted a crowd, among whom
were a lot of urchins who gladly swelled
the noise. They tried to call out the
company messengers, but they had no
grievance and would not come out except
to go off to deliver messages, and in a
short time the noise died out. The mes
senger boys earn from $20 'to $30, and
some more, per month, dependent, of
course, upon their own exertions, beside
the tips they get for good work. Many
of them are helping their parents sup
port the family, and earn all they can.
The whole affair was the funniest thing
In the strike line yet seen here.
Lectures Mayor on- Rock Pile. All
sorts of people call on the Mayor on all
fcorts of business and some call who have
no business. The worst case the Mayor
has had to deal with yet called yesterday
afternoon in the form of a well-dressed
jfeung man, who gaid he was from Cali
fornia and was a lawyer. He appeared
to be a self-constituted counsel for the
hobos who are employed on the city
rock pile. He said it was a great out
rage to compel these poor men to break
rock, and told the Mayor that he had
no right to makerthem work. He said
he had been unable to find' work, though
just what kind of work ja. lawyer would,
be likely to be looking for Is difficult to
Imagine. He appeared to be afraid that
he might have to go to breaking rock
himself. He was very impudent in
pressing his point in regard to the ter
rible outrage being committed on the poor
men who have to break rock. The Mayor
Is a patient and long-suffering man, but
he soon had. enough of this sort of talk
and gave his -visitor his opinion of the
hobos, rounders, hold-up men and thugs,
whose cause his visitor was championing,
and intimated that there were lots of
such fellows running at large who ought
to be breaking rock. The fellow called
attention to the fact that the murderers,
"Wade and Dalton. were not compelled to
work and was told that the Sheriff would
work them off the platform In a few
days. He further advised his visitor to
return to California, and told him that
he wanted no more talk with him, and
he departed. A good rock pile Is of
more benefit to the city than an army of
such fellows as this visitor.
Platting Many Real Estate Tracts.
One evidence of the general belief in the
return of prosperity and the restoration
of old time prices for real estate 1b seen
In the numerous inquiries for tracts of
land in the city which can be platted for
selling in lots and blocks. Several such
tracts are being platted or being pur
chased for platting and made ready for
the market. Not all this land Is to bo
put on the market at once, but much of It
will be held till next year. City Engineer
Chase states that he finds it quite a
puzzling affair, at times, to plat such
tracts so that the streets will- coincide
with and become parts of the streets in
adjoining tracts already platted, so as to
utilize the largest percentage of the
land- It often occurs that the projection
of streets already laid out through such
tracts, where they are small, almost de
stroys the property for homes, resulting
In a number of narrow strips and triangu
lar pieces. Purchasers of tracts for plat
ting, he says, should take pains to as
certain whether they will fit into tke city
street system or not, because if they do
not, there is likely to be a loss of land.
Where there are several tracts adjoining
to be platted the owners would do well to
have the platting of them as a whole
considered, and thus prevent waste.
Fiesty Wall on War Path. The
notorious Fiesty Wall started to Tseg
money from all the people he could hall
last night on Yamhill street near Third,
and when his appeals were refused he
leveled brimstone remarks at men and
women alike. Policeman Byers heard of
Wall's conduct, and he met him at First
and Morrison streets, and told him to
walk to the police station. "I won't go
wlth you or with any cop," roared Wall,
making a dash at Byers. "You'll get
hurt if you try that sort of thing,"
warned Byers, but Wall continued his ef
forts to Injure the policeman, and was
treated to a liberal dose of black-jack.
He was landed at the police station, with
considerable difficulty, and spent the lat
ter part of the evening In vocal abuse of
the entire Police Department. He has
often been arrested, previously.
Charged With Stealing Stamps. A
well-dressed young man, Charles W.
Hartman, was arrested last night at Sec
ond and Davis streets, by Detectives Day
and Wiener, charged with being Implicat
ed In robbing the postoffice at Marlon
station of about $4 worth of postage
stamps. The detectives were after Hart
man for the robbery, and when they
heard yesterday that he had .sold post
age stamps in sheets and packages to a
dealer on Third street, they ran him
down. He admitted selling the stamps
but declined to say where he got them.
Father Charges Son With PERjinvr.
A warrant was issued yesterday by Mu
nicipal Judge Cameron calling for the
arrest of Ike Labovltch, charged with
perjury, on the oath of his father, Morris
Labovltch. Policeman Hogeboom brought
the young man to the police station, and
he was afterward released on promising
to appear In court- His arrest grew out
of evidence given in the suit for support
recently instituted by Labovltch, Sr.

Terms op Hall and Houser Expire.
Four years ago today John H. Hall, Unit
ed States District Attorney, and Zocth
Houser, United States Marshal, assumed
the duties of their respective offices, and
as their commissions were for four years
their terms of office would naturally ex
pire today. Under a law passed in 1S9S.
they will continue to hold office until their
successors have been appointed and have
qualified, and as nothing has been heard
of any such successors having been ap
pointed, they will continue to discharge
the duties of their offices Indefinitely.
Neither of them has any fault to find
with this arrangement, nor are they In
any particular hurry to have their suc
cessors appointed, and It Is not Tcnown
that any one Is In any hurry about this
matter, except, possibly, some who may
wish to succeed either of them. The sit
uation of Messrs. Hall and Houser re
called to an old Federal official an anec
dote about "LIsh" Applegate, a well
known pioneer, who once filled the posi
tion of Receiver of the Land Office, at
Roseburg. President Grant appointed
his -successor, and Applegate did not take
this In good part. He left the office
and never went near It nor his successor

UEUTEXAST NELLIfi BROWN, GRANDDAUGHTER OF JOHTf,
BROWN.
-Lieutenant
Nellie Brown, -who addreed an enthusiastic meeting at the Salva
tion Army Barracks last cenlnp. Is a granddaughter of the famous John Brown.
She Joined the Salvation Army at Salom Just a jcar ato, and was recently sta
tioned at "Walla Walla. Her parents lle In this city, and she is at home on a
short telL Miss Brown Is under 20 jears of age, but Is one of the army's most:,
energetic workers.
The meeting last evening was attended, by a ery large number of visitors,
many of whom came especially to see Miss Brown. In addition to her capacity for
her chosen work, Mss Brown is a talented musician, and favored the congrega
tion of last eienlng with a number of piano and -violin selections. At the con-,
elusion of the regular devotional serlce a revival was- held.
during the four years he was In office.
Then a new Receiver was appointed and
Applegate went to the Land Office to
welcomo hlmr. He arrived before the new
incumbent and when he saw him coming
he took the keys of the office and going
to the door handed them to the new Re
ceiver, remarking: "You will And things
about the. office -In very bad shape for
there has been nobody here for four
years." That was his revenge on the
man who took his position.
Grimes and His License. William
Grimes, who keeps a saloon at Jdontavllla,
has not yet succeeded In obtaining a li
cense from the County Court, and as the
residents have contested his petition., he
may not be able to do so. But Grimes
Is reported to be still doing business at the
old stand, dayand night, and on Sun
days. There 'are three Informatiqns
against him on file in the State Circuit
Court, charging him with selling liquor
without a license. The last one was only
recently filed by the District Attorney,
and the lirst one was presented to the
court last Spring. The second informa
tion was handed to the Clerk in the Fall,
and, like the first, was stowed away in
the vault, and the third one was placed
In tho same receptacle. The courts have
been running right along term after term,
but somehow Grimes was not brought be
fore the bar of Justice for trial. His
effort to obtain a license. If successful,
would enrich the County- Treasury to the
extent of $400, and three fines of 5200
each for &elltng liquor without license
would make $1000 altogether. The lowest
penalty for selling liquor without license
is a $200 fine.
His Resignation Accepted. Follow
ing the regular weekly prayer-meeting at
the First Congregational Church, last
evening, a special business meeting of the-
congregation was called, and the resigna
tion of Rev- Arthur W- Ackerman, pastor
of the church for the past five years, was
considered. Some were of opinion that,
Inasmuch as Dr. Ackerman was under
contract to give the church three months'
notice before leaving the pulpit, his letter
was to be construed merely as notice of
the termination of the contract, and ac
tion on the part of the congregation was
unnecessary. Accordingly, the motion to
accept the resignation was laid on the
table. It was thought later that some
question might arise conccrnirfg the se
curing of a new pastor, so the resigna
tion was taken from the table and ac
cepted. The meeting was marked by
thorough good feeling and harmony, Dr.
Ackerman will continue to fill the pul
pit until April 1. after which lie Intends
going East. No steps have yet been tak
en toward securing his successor.
Arrested on Suspicion. As two stalwart-looking
young men, John Brown
and Thomas Smith, were taking -a walk
.on Washington street near Front yester
day they were arrested as suspicious char
acters by Detectives Snow and Kerrigan.
The latter had been following the men
all over town for the past two days, and
when Brown was searched at the police
station a set of skeleton keys was found
In his possession. The prisoners refused
to talk about themselvesr and Brown de
clined to explain about his keys. The de
tectives say that the kes are of excel
lent workmanship, and have been recently
made, and that some of them would open
almost any door. It Is the opinion of the
police that had the arrest of Brown and
Smith been deferred, they would undoubt
edly have got Into serious trouble ln'fhelr
rambles around the city.
To Plan Elks Building. At the meet
ing of the Elks last night a motion was
passed for the appointment of a commit
tee by Exalted Ruler George E. Cham
berlain, for the purpose of drawing up
plans for a building on the property re
cently purchased by the lodge at Seventh
and Stark. Sir. Chamberlain has not
yet announced his selections.

AGAINST KILLING SEVENTH
Citizen "Will Protect As;alnt Elimi
nating Soatli Portland Ward.
In order to protest against the elimina
tion of the Seventh Ward in the new city
charter, which is being framed by the
Charter Commission, tho citizens of South
Portland has been summoned to a mass
meeting at Hobklrk's Hall on Saturday
evening. The gathering will be held under
--4
the auspices of the South Portland4-Improvement
Association, and It is probable
that resolutions wlllrbe -passed strongly
condemning the action of the charter
board. r ,
Secretary B. F. Jones, of tho Improve
ment Association, said last evening: "This
matter of the elimination of the Seventh
Ward In the new city charter is arousing
a great deal of opposition in the southern
part of the city, as It will mean one Coun
cilman less for that part of the city. This
was one of the first things considered by
the South Portland Improvement Associa
tion, and a committee, consisting of City
Treasurer Ed Werleln, J. 31. Underwood
and myself, was appointed to make a
protest before the committee of the Char
ter Commission. This we did, and we
discussed the redisricting of the city
with the committee on ward boundaries.
We were Informed that It would 'be a
month before the redisricting of the city
would be taken up, and that we would
have this time In which to formulate our
protests and give our Ideas of how tho
city should be divided. This was not
done, and the matter was adopted by the
Charter Commission as. first suggested,
eliminating the Seventh Ward. For this
Teason the mass meeting of the citizens
and property-owners of the Sixth and
Seventh Wards has been called, as well
to consider other matters -of Interest to
that part of tho, city."

for tke PreaeHt.
The Portland Library "will be closed
Saturday njght, January 18. for the pur
poso of making necessary repairs pre
paratory opening as a. .free Institution.
The repairs will. It is expected, be com
pleted within a month.
The decision to. make the repairs was
arrived at by the library committee at a
brief meeting held, in the Association
building jesterday afternoon. There were
present nt the -meeting- Milton W. Smith,
chairman; W B. Ayer and Rev. Dr. T.
L. Eliot. The repairs will be rather gen
eral. Additional pier? will be" built to sup
port the great weight of, books. The
stacks which hold tho shelves will be
changed, and on the north" side there will
be two rows of shelves, where there now
Is one. Reading tables will take up nearly
all the south side, and the office quarters
will probably be enlarged and moved to
the center of the room.
Among other Improvements that will be
made will be the fitting up of the newspaper-room
as a place for young people.
The newspaper-room will be moved to
tne northeast corner of the building, and
will have an entrance on Stark street.
The reference department will be moved
from the west to .the .east end, so that
those consulting Its tomes will not be dis
turbed, as they are now.'by persons going
to and from the 'periodica! room. The
women's room at -the, wiit end. will be-
changed Into -a study2 room, f or -the use

GOOD APPLES AT CHARLESTON
On the , Road Fran brefceR Five
Weeks, but in tfood SMsp.'
Commissioner1 "H. E, Doff'ch writes to
Gorge Lamberson frorcftke Charleston
Exposition as follows: 2
"The grains, grasses and fruits arrived 4
here some two weeks ago,-aft In good fcon- j
dltion. contrary to expectation,, ne ap
ples and pears same tHYougb.lir flrat-claaa
order, notwithstanding liey were" five
Weeks en route In a. freight car1, exposed,
through that awful cold jspelt. This shows
conclusively the superiority of Oregon
fruits, provided they areprbperly handled
an1 packed. These were Wrapped. Jn news
paper and excelsior on the tfCles and be
tween, and not a blemish or bruise was
en any of them. The size, color and flavor
were a revelation to most people here. As
we could not expect to keep them long,
I-gave seme to the newspaper fraternity
and sdlstributcd others where they would
do the most good. The Spitzenbergs were
especially fine, Jfewtowns next, then
Northern Spies.
"Yesterday was one of the most delight
ful days I ever saw, even In favored
Oregon. It was 'Colored' day at the
exposition-, and the grounds weie literally
blaclc,with them. There are only 35,000
negroes In Charleston. Here It is known
in the- South as 'Nlggertown.' The other
cities say that "Charleston Is towned by
tho Germans, run by the Irish and en
joyed by the niggers,' which is moro truth
than poetry. The attendance is Increas
ing. Horseraclng every afternoon is quite
an 'attractions, with a J10QO purse each
day.
"A box of apples has Just arrived" from
J. Ij. Bennett, of Medford. They had
been on the road sinco- December 9r but
were In gool order. Thp express charges
were i3 50. We counted 51 apples, which
makes them cost 19 cents apiece."
The following notice from the Evening
Post, ot Charleston, explains Itself:
"The Evening Post has received from
Colonel H. E. Dosch, Commissioner to the
exposition for Oregon, several varieties,
of fine apples grown in his sta-tev They
are unusually largo and of excelfent fla
vor. The varieties are the Spitzenbergs,
Northern Spy, and Yellow .Newtown Pip
pins, which are the principal export ap
ples from Oregon, as they, stand ocean
transportation well.
"Oregon Is famous for Its fine apples,
and hundreds of thousands of bushels are
shipped every year. The apples that are
on exhibition at the Oregon exhibit at
the exposition grounds were shipped by
freight, more than five weeks ago, and
they are as firm and sweet as the day they
were shipped."

faction In my family for dandruff."
Dr. W. G. Alban of Walla Walla,
Wash., says: "I find Herplclde all that la
claimed for It as a dandruff cure. I shall
.prescribe-it." Dandruff is a germ dis
ease, and you can' cure It unless you kltl
the dandruff germ: and you can't do that
unless you use Newbro's Herplclde, the
only preparation in the world that de
stroys the parasite. A delightful hair
dressing; allays itching Instantly: makes
hair glossy and soft as silk. It Is a sure
dandruff destroyer.
