Fastidious burglars broke Into Mr. Bon durant's house, 181 Thirteenth street, yes terday morning about 2 o'clock, and after sampling the various articles they came across, walked off with $7, after leaving the plunder they discarded "at the rear of the Dekum house, on the other side of Yamhill street- Edward Shields, the pro prietor of Shields' Park, lives with Mr. Bondurant, and the police have reason to believe that the robbers tracked Mr. Shields home and afterward entered the rooms In the hope that they would some how run across the "sack" containing the drawings of the performances at Shields' Park. But luck was against them, as It Is Mr. Shields Invariable practice to deposit his mammoth drawings In a downtown safe every night before he7 goes home. After this, however, he will be guarded on the way home by his dog. which will attend to all marauders. Mr. and Mrs. Bondurant were asleep when the burglars came through the window, which had been left open on account of the hat, and the robbers picked up a gold nugget, valued at $17, several articles of clothing, a watch and $7 In money. As the thieves were go ing out, however, on the return Journey, Mrs. Bondurant was awakened by some slight noise they made, and she observed one midnight visitor In the act of making his escape. "Burglars." she whispered, shaking her husband. The latter hurriedly dressed and went out to take a view of the burglars, but by this time they had disappeared. Just then a report was heard as If some one was firing a revolver. Officer Branch was found, and on being told of the robbery- he made a search around the neigh borhood and found the gold nugget, the clothing and the stolen watch at the rear of the Dekum house. But the $7 In money was gone. FUNERAL OF ERA ST. JOHN Odd Fellow for 53 Years and Promi nent Builder Lnfd to Rest.

In July, 1853, be coming its first vice-grand, and noble grand the following term. .Removing to Oregon, he became a member of Samaritan Lodge. No. 2, of Portland, In August, 1858, and held continuous membership therein until his death. He was elected grand warden of the Grand Lodge In 1S59; deputy grand master In I860, and grand master In 1861. Mr. St. John became a member of Elli son Encampment, No. 1. I. O. O. F.. of this city, January 24, 1S59, and remained an active member In that branch of Odd Fel lowship until the day of his death, holding all offices In the subordinate encampments of the state, always performing his duties In the several positions to which he was assigned In a satisfactory manner. Mr. St. John was one of the pioneer builders and contractors of Portland, and during the SO years that he was engaged In business he supervised the construction of some of the finest residences and build ings In the earlier days. Among the struc tures which were built under his direc tion were the old First Presbyterian Church, at the northwest corner of Third and Washington streets, where the Can terbury building now stands, and the resi dences of Henri' Failing, H.

WATER SUPPLY SHORT CONSUMERS IN HIGH SERVICE DIS TRICT OX EAST SIDE COMPLAIN. Water Committee Will Lny a Mile of 20-Inch Pipe, bat That Helps Little Now. There is much complaint by residents of Sunnyslde, Irvington and other portions of the high-water service on the East Side on account of shortage of water at this time. It may be said that the water committee has made provisions for sup plying the high service with an abund ance of water. A 20-lnch water-pipe has been ordered to be laid on Marguerite avenue through Sunnyside to East Stark street, thence to East Twenty-eighth street and on East Twenty-eighth street to about Oregon street. One mile of this pipe has been ordered Idld for the pres ent. Work will start on Ihis pipe line as soon as tho 14-Inch main "now being laid on East First street Is completed. This latter main will likely be completed this week. While but one mile of this 20-lnch main is to be laid at present. It will final ly be continued to Russell street and Union avenue, and further when required. The pipe for the main is being manufac tured at the Oswego Iron Works, and will probably be delivered the latter part of this month. While this main may not afford much relief for Irvington. It will Improve all the higher service to a great extent. It will relieve all of Sunnyslde and the district at least north to Sullivan's Gulch, improve the service through Central East Portland, and incidentally Improve the service north oC the gulch. The growth of tho East Side Is Indi cated In the great demand for water mains In every direction. The demand Is much greater than can be suppfled. With labor agitation out of the way. building operations have been reoumed, and the remainder of the year promises to make up to some extent the losses In the first half. TWELFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION.

With Horse and Cart Monnt Tabor Carrier Makes Prompt Delivery. The Improved mall service In the free delivery district at Mount Tabor. Is appre ciated by the residents. Since the carrier was supplied with a horse and cart, which were furnished last week, he has been able to cover much more territory and make more prompt delivery. He tnakes one complete delivery per day. While It may be aorno time before an other carrier will be given the district, it will probably come after a time. Mail comes out there twice a day, but the car rier makes one round a day. One of the Inspectors says that there should be two deliveries dally. But the people will not complain very much over the present ser vice, which Is very satisfactory. Trnct Laid. Ont.

MAN VERSUS WOMAN. What Is Finery Pnt on for, Unless It Is to Be Admired f HILLSBORO, Or.; July 18. (To the Ed itor.) Mrs. W. H. Barry, armed with a question mark and a scatter gun, does some execution in your issue of the 18th Inst. And why not hit something when there is so much game to shoot at. In sizes from a microbe to a mastodon? The faults and peculiarities of mere men are fired at at random and unavoidably hit on account of numbers. Would that there were some superior beings on earth to expound the case of man vs. woman and show for what they are already suffering and will suffer for. The preponderance of males at the Poor Farm as accounted for by the editor Is the source of all this affection for said ed itor, who, with the scales removed from his eyes, beholds the truth blazing like the noonday sun. The rest of the affec tion Is probibly Intended for others. Prob ably If the editor had said females pre ferred working and starving and suffer ing to "support some l&zy brute of a male rather than go to the almshouse as a reason for their absence, there might be missiles other than bouquets flying around his head. It Is possible, too, thit females prefer the madhouse to the poor farm. As to silliness, we doubt If any editor In his most reckless moods would grant females any monopoly In that. A male with the latest brand of that commodity can hypnotize all females within range of his deadly Influence: The best education of two continents will avail nothing against It and consigns Its owner to a sit down way back with the wall-flowers and has-beens. Suppose we term .our so-called under standing of art as expressed In pictures of nude females as a yearning for the natural, that almost forgotten element. Whatever It Is, It saves redaublng the canvas every turn of the moon with new plumage, the latest creations and crazes, In order to be up to date. The clothes rack don't change like the clothes, so let us have the rack tho tangible reality. But then there are male clothes racks, too. In the new order of things, are females to spend everything they make, or can get from their husbands, on dress and flnery and not to be observed and ad mired as they pass by males? Such wast od effort Is appalling, to think of. But there may be an ecstacy In wearing a delirium of paraphernalia. We don't know, poor fools. The writer has no quarrel with any one. and he rejoices that such momentous questions are discussed, as It gives light artillery a chance to do Its part. HOMO. WHY NOT PAY REWARD? Plen In Behr.lf of Mrs. WngRoner, Who Fonnd Merrill's Body. PORTLAND. Or..July 20. (To the Ed itor.) I have been waiting for some one to take up the cause of Mrs. Waggoner, the discoverer of Convict Merrill's body. The terms of settlement tendered by Su perintendent J. D. Lee, of the peniten tiary, are an Insult to Mrs. Waggoner and the people of Oregon and" worthy of pro test. The escape, of the convicts was un fortunate and the people have been gen erous In withholding criticism. It Is, how ever, too bad that Mrs. Waggoner must apply for the reward to the man upon whom the onus for these escapes falls. Naturally, his wish Is to minimize the ex pense of his mistakes. I believe that I voice the sentiment of the majority of the people of Oregon when I say that she Is entitled to the full $1500, less costs for returning body. I have not heard one expression to the contrary. If the reward Is Ignored In one case it may be In another (especially if a woman should return Tracy), and the example In the M?rrlll case must be discouraging to the members of the posse now after Tracy. Suppose Tracy should be Wiled while in a bpat, and his body lost In Puget Sound, will his slayer receive any reward? Why was the reward offered? Not for death; that Is Inadequate. Capture alone Is Insufficient, but the great requirement and the purpose of the capture and re ward is the return to Salem. Yea, return return dead or alive but- return. Why return? Because Oregon must convince her prisoners that none canmurder their legal guards and escape swift punishment, and because the graves at Salem of Mer rill now and of Tracy later will always bo mute but decisive proof that in Ore gon law and order are supreme, even over murderous convicts, Hence the value to the state of the return of either Merrill or Tracy Is above computation In dollars and cents. Oregon must be above suspi cion of dishonesty by quibbling over a word. We all know that the object sought was the return of the convicts, dead or alive, and as Mrs. Waggoner has returned Merrill's body, she Is entitled to the re ward. It Is hoped (hat Governor Geer, in good Judgment, will take a broader view than that of Mr. Lee and see that no doubt exists, that right and Justice shall prevail in this case by ordering tho payment to Mrs. Waggoner of the fail amount of the reward.

Since the creation of Crater Lake National Park, numerous references thereto have FOUR DOLLARS .MONTHLY Pianos for Particular Peo pleAn Ideal Pian. )' Some people want "the best at any price." To such we would commend for their thoughtful consideration and recom mend In tne highest terms the renowned Chickerlng piano. The most extravagant words of praise could not do Justice to this superb Instrument. It is a piano that will last a lifetime, and while it Is a little more expensive than most pianos, the extra satisfaction that It gives will far more than compensate for the addi tional cost. Those who cannot afford to pay so much for a piano and who still desire the best, will be Interested in the liberal terms that we make on the Hobart M. Cable pianos. We will allow you to take your choice of our extensive line of these beautiful In struments, pay us $10.00 down and $S.0O per month. Or, if you wish to test the piano to prove that all we claim for It and more Is true, we will allow you to rent any new piano, pay us the cartage and $4.00 a month. After a time, If you are satis fied with your Instrument, you may re tain It, and we will allow you on its pur chase price all you have paid us for cart ago and rent. If you are dissatisfied with It, you ma return it at any time, and all you will be out Is the rent. $4.00 a month and cartage, and even then your payments may apply toward any other piano j-ou may desire. This Is an Ideal plan for those who cannot afford or do not wish to make a cash purchase. Ellers Piano House. 351 Washington street, oppo site Cordray's Theater.
