"Printer boT" Is Recovered. Tho
valuable pointer dog "Printer Boy,"
owned by W. C. Gibson, and which was
supposed to have been stolen by some
one about three weeks ago, has been lo
cated, In charge of one of the baggage
men at the railroad depot, at The Dalles,
and Is now n possession of Mr. Gibson.
Yesterday Mr. TV. TV. Peaslee, one of the
officers of the itennel Club, received a
letter written at The Dalles by Mr. Gib
eon, and reading. In part, as follows:
"Sheriff Kelly, of Wasco County, asks me
to write you about the recovery of
Printer Boy. H. F. Zeigler, of The
Dalles, told Mr. Kelly. Saturday, that
a dog answering the description of
Printer Boy' was at the depot in charge
of the night baggage man. The next day,
Mr. Kelly started for the baggage-man's
house, and on the way over he met the
eon of the baggage man, who was leading
the dog. The latter had a rope around his
nock. Kelly took possession of the dog,
and told the boy to inform his father
that the dog had been stolen and that he,
the Sheriff, would hold the dog until the
owner turned up. Sunday evening a man
named Ross called at the Sheriff's offlce
and stated that he had received the dog
from a brakeman named Jackson, em
ployed by the O. R. & N. Jackson stated
that about one month ago the dog Jumped
on board a train at the union depot in
this city, as the, train was moving, and
wis placed in the baggage car." Officers
of the Kennel Club will consider the mat
ter, ehortly.
Children Forestall Lover op TVild
IPlowers. An ardentv lover of nature and
amateur botanist, who has sought for
the earliest wild flowers in the vicinity of
Portland for several years, and who has
found out the warm, sheltered spots
where each of several species make their
appearance, went out Sunday to look for
trllliums. He sought a secluded place
where for several years he has plucked
his first bouquet of these blossoms, but
to his surprise only an occasional speci
men could be found. TVhlle hunting
around for more, he saw four little girls
coming out of the brush, each having a
large handful of the flowers he had ex
pected to secure. One of them, holding
up her collection of xflowers, called to
him: "Were you looking for these,
Mister?" He admitted that he was, -when
the little girls shouted in chorus, "Well,
we got them!" and away they ran, laugh
ing, and evidently much pleased that they
had forestalled him. He says that in
future he will have to go farther afield
to secure early wild flowers, as there are
too many children out scouring the hills
near town.
All That Swell Up Are Not Capi
talists. All that glitters is not gold.
Neither does every big man in the city
directory belong to a big man nay, even
If the name is in bold type as black as
Egypt. A certain man who professes, In
the directory, to be a capitalist, reveals
that he Is not as heavy as the bold print
which stands for him. The Lewis and
Clark committee which Is raising funds
thought it had done something clever
-when It solicited the black-type names
in the directory to boost along toward the
$500,000. They And that some men are
bigger than others, but that all the big
men are not In big type and that some
big men are bigger In type than on foot.
The heavy-typed individual above re
ferred to, although he was advertised as
a capitalist, declined to give any money.
He said that he has no property in Port
land, none In Oregon and none in the
Northwest, and that therefore Lewis and
Clark may shift for themselves as far
as he Is concerned. He did not say he
is a hot-air capitalist.
Potato Market Flooded. Farmers are
still bringing In potatoes without end, but
are not getting any more for them than
was being paid at the beginning of the
year. The hauling is better now, however,
and at 51 25 per sack the farmers ought
all to be getting rich off their potatoes.
Some of them are talking of clubbing to
gether and sending back to Kansas or
Bome other place for a carload or two of
choice Burbanks, for eed. This would
be a much more sensible scheme than to
pay 85 cents a sack for small potatoes
here for seed, as this would soon result
In the farmers being all "small potatoes
and few in a hill." The Burbank Is the
favorite potato here, and has been hold
ing out very well as to quality, but it
will be -well to change seed occassionally.
When every steamer for San Francisco
carries away eight or ten or more thou
sand sacks, at $1 25 per sack, farmers
cannot afford to run the risk of injuring
their crop by planting small potatoes.
Fishermen to Open Season. Quite a
number of. persons were out fishing Sun
day. Of course they were all fishing for
salmon trout, as the season for brook
trout opens this morning. It may be that
eome went fishing In brooks for salmon
trout, and may have caught brook trout
without noticing any difference, for so
near the opening of the season "all trout
look alike to most people;." ,It Is hinted
that persons residing In the vicinity of
good trout streams have been busy at odd
times for the past week or more, en
deavoring to relieve their over-crowded
condition, or that people -who waited till
the season was open might not he tempted
to catch more than the limit. The annual
crop of Spring fish liars will be In evi
dence In a few days, with accounts of re
markable catches, which even Ananias
himself could not believe.v
Golfers Back From California.
Charles E. Ladd and J. Bourne have re
turned from Southern California, looking
as hearty and healthy as possible, but
tanned about as dark as the sun can
make one. They just fairly wore out the
golf grounds of that region, and have
the game down fine, but say they haven't
played all the golf there is, yet. They
also say that T. B. Wilcox, -who cot cold
feet and came away home, leaving them
to battle for the honor of Portland against
all the world. Including a delegation from
Tacoma, will have to learn the game all
over again before he will be In their
class. The golf links at Sellwood -will
soon be Teady for playing on, and then
lothcrs can get out and get tanned a dark
buckskin color, -without going to Califor

Commissioner Dosch Has Troubles.
In a letter to the Chamber of Commerce,
received yesterday, Henry E. Dosch, one
of Oregon's commissioners to the Charles
ton fair, writes that he is arranging en
tries for the fruit jury, which will hold
Its first session today. He regrets that
he has only 40 apples in tho exhibit, and
although the apples are very fine they are
not representative of the resources .of
Oregon. The fruits on hand are in very
good condition, "but," says Mr. Dosch,
"a jury cannot be won by a look. Their,
good graces must bo won through the
stomach, and to accomplish this, what
state has b'etter fruit than Orezon? Mis
souri, Illinois, and even North Carolina
have hundreds of plates of cold-storage
fruit on exhibition, and while they look
fine, they are not in It with us -when it
comes to flavor, size, color, and palatabie
nese. But the jury must taste the fruit.
My Information as to Its quality, no mat
ter how much the Jury believes It, will
not be received, and hence we, not hav
ing enough fruit on hand, cannot expect
to win so many medals as at Buffalo.
However, we shall' make a hard fight for
everything in sight. The weather is fine,
the attendance is increasing steadily, and
we are kept busy talking about Oregon
and its -resources."
New Policemen to Get Stars. These
new policemen were appointed last night
at a meeting of the Police Commissioners:

Brakeman Severelt Injured. A. P.
Cayler, a brakeman from La Grande, em
ployed by the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, was severely" Injured by being
crushed between freight cars yesterday at
the Jefferson-street depot. He was taken
to the Good Samaritan Hospital, and will
not be able to leave that institution for
about three weeks. He was climbing on
he could climb on top of the car the
train was going toward another train of
cars standing on the same track. The
distance between the two trains wasljcct itself to the jurisdiction of our
shorter than Cayler thought, and before
he could climbe on top of the car the
trains collided, and he was caught be
tween the cars. He Is married and has a
family.
East Side- Saloon Denied License.
The liquor license committee has decided
to refuse a license to some unknown per
son for a second saloon at the corner of
Powell street and East Twenty-first.
Several remonstrances, signed by nearly
all the women in that district, were pre
sented to the Council, urging that n
license be granted for a second saloon
there. They urge that the one, saloon
there, which Is decently- conducted, is
enough for the district, and that a second
saloon -would cater to the patronage of
boys. The committee. In deference to
these remonstrances, decided not to allow
any license to be granted for a second
saloon.
Wind Blows Up Dust. Many who have
been growling about the nice, showery
weather of the past few weeks, and kick
ing because Spring, gentle Spring, tarried
so long, came to the. conclusion yester
day that sunshine and winds and dry
streets were not so nice as might be
Imagined. The wind raised up clouds of
fine dust, like the sand storms of the
great Sahara desert, and whirled it every
where, filling eyes, ears and throats and
making one wish that the streets -were
sprinkled with crude petroleum, which is
an effectual preventive of d.ust.
Wag Wins a Bet. A waggish young
man employed at the County Courthouse,
made a bet that ell the people who would
visit that place yesterday would say they
had attended church on Ea6ter, and that
not one of them would remember the text
he or she had heard taken as the subject
of the discourse on that occasion. He
asked some 50 different persons, officers
of the courts, lawyers, clerks and stenog
raphers, and did not find one who could
remember the text, so he won the bet.
Bad Quarters in Slot Machine. Some
one must have a supply of bogus 25-cent
pieces on hand, as a saloon-keeper found
no less than nine of them In his "Dawson
City" slot machine yesterday morning.
The man who played the machine did not
lose much, and the proprietor did not
make much, so honors are even..

MUST DEFEND THE SUITS
GUARANTY SAVINGS & LOAN ASSO
CIATION SO ORDERED.
Judge Scars Decides That Service of
Summons on Retiring Agent
Is Valid.
Judge Scars yesterday decided that the
service of summons In the suit of S. C
Beach against the Guaranty Savings &
Lban Association Is valid, and the com
pany must defend the suit.
Beach brought suit io January to re
cover money which he alleged he over
paid on a building and loan contract. He
set forth In his complaint that becaus;
of false statements and misrepresenta
tions he was imposed upon, and paid,' in
settlement of the loan, much In excess of
the principal and legal Interest. He seeks
to recover the sum overpaid, amounting
to about .$500.
The company has been Involved In the
courts of late, a number of decisions hav-
lrig been rendered that its contracts are j
usurious, and that only the principal and
legal interest can be collected. The com
pany, o evade further suits, recently
transferred all of its assets in this state,
and Its agent, J. W. Blaln, resigned.
Judge Sears In his opinion, which was
concurred In by Judges George and Cle
land, said In part:
"Indeed-, If a foreign corporation may
Invoke the aid of courts of a state as
plaintiff to enforce Its claims or contracts
with .citizens, It would seem consistent
with justice that it should be liable to
be made defendant In the courts ot such
state, at least as to transactions entered
into with the citizens ot the state. Cer
tain obvious difficulties have heretofore
prevented the complete attainment of this
apparently resultant consequence."
A decision .was cited where it was held,
"When a corporation thinks proper to in
voke the comity of another state, and
transact its business there, It ought to be
held to have voluntarily submitted Itself
to the laws of the state."
Continuing, Judge Sears said: "How
ever this may be. if the defendant was
allowed to carry on business In this state
only upon condition that It would sud-
courts, as defendant, entered upon busr
ness herein In recognition of such condi
tlon, and It may be added, under an
express contractual recognition thereof, we
are of the opinion that such submission
must be held to continue until the final
conclusion of winding up all of such busi
ness; that the attempted retirement of
Blain, the attorney in fact, was Inef
fectual as to this cause, and that service
upon him. as such agent, brought him
within the jurisdiction of this court.
"In expressing these views, we have
not Ignored the earnest presentation of
the claim of non-Jurisdiction of the coun
sel for defendant. The precise ques
tion seems not to have arisen in the
jurisdiction of our state, and we are con
strained to adopt the, view that to hold
this court without jurisdiction -would
result In a nullification of Legislative in
tent. In Intolerable hardship to the citi
zens of our state, who would be compelled
to resort to a distant tribunal, and In
countenancing a total repudiation of the
binding efficacy of contracts solemnly
entered Into."
This case was recently argued by TV lu
lam Reid and J. T. McKee as attorneys
for the plaintiff, and W. D. Fenton for the
defense. There are other similar cases
pending in which the Guaranty Savings &
Loan Association is defendant.
CALLS HUSBAND HEARTLESS.
Mrs. Lena Havrklns Sues for Divorce
on Grounds of Cruel Treatment.
Lena "Hawkins yesterday filed suit
against Martin Hawkins for a divorce.
on the ground of cruel treatment, xuc
parties were married in Portland In 1893
and have two children. The maiden name
of the plaintiff was Stafford. Mrs. Hawk
ins charges her husband with having be
haved toward her In a cruel and heart
less manner. She avers that because she
spoke to a gentleman friend on the street
Hawkins called her names, and that while
they were living at Astoria he threatened
to kill her. She also alleges that she was
compelled to have him arrested in the
Municipal Court and bound over to keep
the peace, on account of .threats which
he made against her. Hawkins Is em
ployed by the Eastern Lumber Company,
and Mrs. Hawkins asks that he be made
tn rnntrlhute $75 atorney's fees and 515
per month alimony for the support of the
children.
BLUMAUER LOSES CASE.
Jndse Senrs Dismisses His Suit to
Recover ?9125 from R. HIghet.
The suit of Moses Blumauer against
Robert HIghet. to recover $9125 on account
of the sale of mining claims near Daw
son, was dismissed by Judge Sears yester
day. Blumauer claimed one-quarter of
what was received by HIghet for the
claims, alleging that he had an agree
ment with HIghet to that effect. The
rnnrt found that Blumauer is not en
titled to anything, for the reason that the
evidence did not show that there was any
consideration for the agreement.

"'WAY DOWN EAST."
Realistic Rural Drama Malces a Hit
nt the Jlarquam.
" 'Way Down East," with Its truly rural
atmosphere. Its crowd of folk who really
seem to be right from the soil. It3 wonder
fully realistic snow storm, and its pretty
love story, opened what, to all appear
ances. Is another big run at the Marquam
last night, and raaac the sqmc kind of- a
hit with ft big house that It did on the
occasion of Its Initial appearance in Port
land more than a year ago. The .drama
Is one which cannot fall to create Interest.
It Is a panorama of New England pictures,
each one more charming than the last, and
each one true to life In every detail that
it Is possible to put upon the stage. The
first act, with Its quiet farmyard, and
the familiar scenes' before supper time, is
Instantly pronounced to be genuine by
those who have been so fortunate as ,to
come from a farm. The country parlor
looks like the real thing, and the gather
ing of the merry-makers on their way to
the .party is as natural as the jingling of
slelghbells outside. Then cames the real
istic triumph of the play, the snow storm
howling outside the country kitchen, an
effect which Is so natural that the people
In the audience shudder as they see the
snow come whirling In the door, and won
der to notice that the snow that Is left
on the clothing ofthose who have Just
come in Is reaily melting away. The last
scene of all. In the sugar bush, is a fitting
climax to the suggestions of Winter,
which have been becoming more pointed
all the while. In few plays are the sur
roundings made to.do so much, to perform
so Important a function as this, where ,tho
cold and the storm really enact as forceful
a part as any of the characters.
Although the story Is one of much In
terest, It Teally eerves as but a thread
on which to string a succession of farm
Incidents1, net the least of which Is the
comedy of Hi Holler, a character which,
In the hands of John E. Brennen, becomes
easily the leading part of the play. Bren
nen enters so thoroughly Into his role
that one can hardly help believing him
to be the real, happy-go-lucky farmer boy,
and his Infectious laugh is shared and pro
longed by every one who hears it. His
wotk last night in the second act "when
he was reading his "Pickings from Puck"
was as clever a bit of comedy as has been
seen in Portland for a long time. Charles
A. Burke, as Rube Whipple, the town Con
stable, ably seconds Mr. Brenncn's efforts
to show the audience the funny side of
New England1 country life, while Loyola
O'Connor, as Martha Perkins, a typical
old maid, completes an excellents comedy
trio. Miss O'Connor received a tribute to
her portrayal of the disagreeable side of
meddlesome spinsterhood last evening, fli
the form of violent hisses whenever the
ancient maiden endeavored to throw stum
bling blocks In the way of the struggling
virtue of Anna Moore.
Grace Hopkins, as Anna Moore, p'.ays
the character with much more effect than
her predecessor of a year ago, and keeps
the sympathy of the audience with her
first, last and all the time. Grace Cralb
Hull was a pretty and winsome Kate
Brews.er, and was the life of many of
the scenes in which she" took part. Rob
ert Gaillard made a typical city man
with city morals. Charles Rcigl used a
good dialect with effect as the Squire.
Julia Hachett was a prim and proper but
kindly farmer's wife. Thurlow Bergan
played Dave Bartlett acceptably, and Wal
lace Owen did the needful as Professor
Sterling. The remainder of the cast was
all that was necessary. A fine feature of
the performance "was the singing of the
village choir, consisting of Harry Rich
ards, Estelle Ward, Nellie Hart and Lydfa
Byron. Their voices blend perfectly, and
are all of unusual quality, and only after
half a dozen numbers would the audience
be satisfied to let them go.
The scenery Is very elaborate, the snow
scene being remarkably fine, while the
mechanical snow storm is by far the best
thing of its kind ever sec on the stage
here. " 'Way Down East" will run all the
week, and- will undoubtedly prove a strong
attraction every night.
"The Octoroou" at Cordray's Touleht.
Dion Bouclcault's great story of South
ern life. "The Octoroon," will be the Shir
ley Company's offering at Cordray's this
evening.
This is a story of slavery days which will
live forever. It deals with a feature of
that time which can hardly be realized as
possible In this modern day. Briefly out
lined, the plot is as follows:
Zoe, on octoroon girl, was the natural
daughter of Judge Payton, her master.
by a quadroon slave. Wishing to free his
child, the Judge executes her free papers,
forgetting that at the time a mortgage
stood recorded against the estate, which
stood as a lien upon all of his property,
slaves Included. After the death of the
Judge, the mortgage is foreclosed, and the
estate is to be sold under the hammer,
unless a remittance Is received from Liv
erpool In time to save it. To prevent the
letter which would release the Hen upon it
from arriving In time, McCIosky, a neigh
boring nlanter. who has assisted in ruin
ing the Judge,- and who wished to gain
possession of Zoe, murdered the boy who
had been sent for the mall, and stole the
letter.
The estate was sold at auction, Mc
Closkey bidding In the octoroon at a price
which showed conclusively the purpose
for which he wanted her.
To divert suspicion frptn. himself, Mc
Closkey endeavored to fasten the crime of
the boy's murder upon Wah-NoTee, an
Indian companion of the lad. The truth
Is brought to light in aa ingenious man
ner, and McCIosky escapes, pursued by
the Indian, who eventually .overtakes him
and avenges the death of his HtUc friend.
To save herself from the fate which
awaits her, Zoe obtains poison from one
of the slaves, and in death seeks relief.
Miss Shirley Is making a feature of "The

very little prices, but in each Instance
the money's worth is there In tone, wear
ing quality and appearance. We have
cheaper and more expensive pianos than
those fancy new mahogany or oak-cased
cabinet grand uprights at $26S (on $10 a
month payments if desired), but these

pianos fully deserve your confidence and
our unlimited guarantee. Another thlngr
the very flne3t pianos manufactured in
America are controlled by Ellers Piano
House, and by reason of our special fa

first-class piano at the price that otnfer
deal em are compelled to ask for an In
strument not nearly so good. This is no
mere Idle talk. We have -sold more fine
pianos and arc selling more high-class in
struments than any other wholesale or
retail concern west of the Mississippi,
and there are reasons for It. Let us tell
you how. We do It at 351 Washington.
