Nelll Stock Company m 'The Little Minis
ter." Adventures of a German. A young
man who lately arrived here from "High"
Germany Is astonished to find this coun
try so much like what he expected It to
be. He has read many books In German
about the "wild West and the wild ani
mals which inhabit it," which books were
written In the days of Kit Carson, when
the buffalo roamed over the plains in vast
herds and grizzly bears were plentiful.
He had been told that he would find that
this region had made some strides in civ
ilization, but that he might still find wild
animals here. The first day after he ar
rived he strolled into the back yard of a
down-town market, where there are two
beautiful bears, and one of them in wan
ton mood tore one of the legs of his trous
ers !nto shreds with its naw. Then he
went down to the coast to visit a friend,
and saw a whale trying to butt down the
jetty at the mouth of the Columbia, and
Just knocking things endways. He had
not read of whales doing such things, and
was astonished, but more so when later
another whale came floating in dead. He
returned Saturday, and while walking
up Third street a caged eagle on the side
walk, at which he Jointed his linger, took
a section of it half off. He was trying
to imagine that not half the truth had
been told about this wild West when the
next thing he ran against was a devH-flsb
13 feet from Up to Up, and weighing 75
pounds, hanging in front of a market.
While examining this the dealer asked
him to lake a hunk homo and try it, but
he said he would as lief undertake to eat
the devil himself. Now he says ho has
seen enough for a while, and Is going
back home, where there are no wild ani
mals or whales or devil-fish.
Revival at the Fiust Baptist Church.
A largo company was present at the
Bible-reading jon Hebrew given at the
First Baptist Church. The tablets found
T years ago at Tel-el-Armah. in Egypt,
prove the story of Abraham and Melchize
dek. In the evening the boys and girls
eang several pieces beautifully.. A good
congregation was present. Dr. Shepard
son's Uieme was "The Perfect Priesthood
of Christ" "In all lands," said he, "there.
Is a craving for God. All nations worship.
Everywhere there is a sense of sin, and
following this there is everywhere a de
mand for a priest. But human priests do
not meet the case. Human priests, wheth
er papal or pagan, soon become oppres
sive. Wherever priests have power the
people suffer. Look at India, look at
Mexico, look at the Philippines all human
priests oppress when they can. But God
has provided a priest in the person of his
Son, the only priest the world needs
the very Son of God, who never will op
press, but will sympathize and help; a
priest who is a living priest forever." The
Interest is deeper than at any stage of the
xneetings. There will be a lecture this
afternoon at 3 o'clock, and preaching in
the evening; subject, "The Manliness of
the Christian Life." ,
Bot Fails to Claim Bictcle. There is
inquiry about an unknown boy who has
mysteriously disappeared, as so many peo
ple do these days. Last September he was
riding by the Gambrlnus brewery on a bi
cycle, when In some way he slipped a cog
and ran against a telephone post. The
(handle-bar of his bicycle was bent and
hls hand cut, and his head struck the pole.
He was knocked senseless and badly Jolt
ed and shaken up. An engineer at the
brewery picked him up, dressed his
wounds and got him on his feet again.
He wanted to send the lad to. a hospital,
but he said he lived on Everett street, and
would walk home. Ho asked what he
should do with his bicycle, and was told
that he could leave it there and it would
be taken care of till he came after it The
bicycle is still at the brewery, but noth
ing has been seen or heard of the boy
since, and the engineer is anxious to know
what has become of him. It is probable
that the boy is either sick or dead, and so
unable to come after his bicycle, as, if he
were on earth and able to get about, he
would have called for it before this time.
Bot Burglars in Court. A. Clark and
Harry Wilkens, two of the boy burglars
who were caught by Detectives Snow and
Kerrigan Saturday, appeared in court yes
terday and pleaded guilty to a charge of
larceny from a store. The boys have been
bold and daring from the time of their
arrest, and disposed to make light of their
predicament. The strain was too great
for Clark yesterday, however, and when
he was told that ho would be held to ap
pear before the grand jury he burst Into
tears. He said that he did not realize
what he was doing, and that he would
never forget the lesson that he , had
learned. Charles Boggus, who at the Ume
of his arrest gave his name as Hayes,
pleaded not guilty to the charge against
him of breaking the window of the Log
Cabin saloon and taking a revolver. He
has engaged an attorney to defend him,
and the case will be taken up Wednesday.
GAS buot burning. The Plntsch gas
buoy off the mouth of the Columbia, which
suffered a temporary eclipse for some
Ume, owing to the tremendous seas run
ning there lately, was relighted on the
last trip of the lighthouse-tender Manza
nita, and is now burning as brightly as
ever. Though these buoys had withstood
all kinds of rough water on the Great
Lakes, the big combers of the Pacific
were a little too much for tho mechanism
and the flame was washed out. This buoy
was staUoned off the Columbia as an ex
periment, but stood the hard test very
successfully unUl the light was put out a
short time ago. It was filled ;svlth enough
gas to give a continuous light for six
months, and its term of loneliness will not
be up for some Ume yet.
Looked Down on Fog Banks. The
dense fog which enveloped the city on
Sunday and Monday mornings was not
spread on very thick, and the steeples of
most of the churches rose above it. On
Portland Heights the sun was shining
brlghUy, and residents there saw the sil
ver lining of the fog bank as they looked
down on the city and those who dwell in
lowly places. These are the days when
owners of property on the heights invite
their friends and the public generally to
come up and see the sun rise, and thei
fly to sell them lots at boom prices. It it
nice to be up -in the world, and only those
who inhabit lofty regions can tell "how
hard it is to climb." '
Germans to Discuss Building. The
regular annual meeUng of the German Aid
Society will be held this evening at the
rooms of the society. Eleventh and Mor-
rlson streets, at which Ume the advisabll-
uy oi tne amalgamation or me uerman
Aid Society with the German Turnverein
and the erection of a German building will
come up for consideration.
Gift to Library. The Portland Public
Library is in receipt of the Jewish ency
clopedia, in 12 volumes, as a gift from tho
Independent Order of B'nal B'rlth. This
is considered one of the most valuable
works of reference published In recent
years, and the librarian is naturally very
much pleased to receive the donation.

Hotel 'Bus Breaks Down. A load of i
passengers in the Perkins Hotel "bus got
treated to a little surprise last night not
down on the programme. The 'bus backed
up to the curb on Fifth street, and, having
secured a full load of travelers of both
sexes. It slowly started on Its way to the
station over the billowy streets that have
made Portland famous. It did not get far
on Its journey. It only went as far as the
street-car ralfc on Fifth street, when the
wheel on the starboard quarter became
tangled in the tracks and snapped the
axle off at the hub. There was a crash as
the conveyance rolled over on its side, and
a great breakage of glass and side rigging
after the forcible encounter with the paving-stones.
Inside there was much con
fusion, for the 'bus was filled to the
brim. Feminine shrieks, Infantine walls
and guttural imprecations from the men
folks filled the air, while the imprisoned
passenger crawled out of the little door
in the back of the vehicle. After the
wreck the 'bus was badly damaged, and
had the appearance of the wonderful "one
hoss shay" that Oliver Wendell Holmes
made famous. The passengers had no fur
ther use for it and went to the railway
station on the car.
Sixth-Street Asphalt Needs Repair.
People who use the sidewalks principally
in their strolling about town do not ob
tain so much Information in regard to
the condition of the streets as those who
ride about in an automobile, says E. H.
Wemme. He had been telling a reporter
that the asphalt pavement on the lower
end of Sixth streot was in a very bad
state, and the reporter had replied that
he thought the street was in fair condi
tion. To settle the matter the reporter
hoarded Mr. Wemme's automobile and was
"driven" down Sixth to Glisan. and .found
that it required skillful engineering to
get around the holes, which make the
pavement look as If pitted by smallpox,
and almost Impassable for heavy trucks.
In several places the deepest holes are
filled with slabwood to enable trucks to
pass over. Mr. Wemme says the city paid
some $5000 for repairing this pavement less
than a year ago, and it is now as bad as
ever, if not worse. He has a piece of
property on the street, and will endeavor
to obtain permission to put .in a stone
block pavement in front of it, for he con
siders the asphalt beyond repair.
Thief Helps to Catch Himself. By
not being acquainted with the city, Otto
Grlssler made a mistake yesterday which
led to his arrest and conviction for lar
ceny. Ed Rosenthal has two stores.
Grlssler stole a pair of shoes from one of
them and went to the other to sell them.
Rosenthal knows his stock In trade, and
having been the unfortunate victim of a
fire some time ago. this particular pair of
shoes was so marked that he knew them
positively to have come from his store.
They were heavy logging shoes, such as
sell for about $3, and the man offered them
to him for 50 cents. He thought it strange
that he would buy them of one store for $3
and sell them to nnother for 50 cents, so
immediately Inquired if anything was
missed from the other store. It was found
that these shoes had been on exhibition at
tho other store, and had been stolen that
same anernoon. unssier torn a. inmo murj
about having received tho shoes from a
sick friend, but as he did not know the
friend's name or address, he was found
cruiltv of the crime and sentenced to six
months in the City Jail.
Life on the Raging Columbia. The
class of men along the lower river who
fish during the Summer and chop cord
wood during tho Winter are in no humor
for doing either at present, according to
the story of one who employs a lot of
them. He says that all quit choppjng
wood a while ago and rigged out a net
or two and caught several fine chlnook
salmon, which one of them took to Astoria
and sold for $3L They then started in on
a jamboree, which was kept up unUl $30
of the money was gone. They then con
eluded to buy CO cents worth of beans
from their employer and get some more
whisky with the remaining 50 cents, but
when he looked good-natured they bought
the beans on credit and spent the whole
dollar for whisky. Between drinks they
went out and gathered up a scowload of
shingle blocks which were washed out of
the Cowlitz River by the flood and split
enough of these Into stovewood to boil
their beans, and between eaUng boiled
beans and drinking whisky they are en
joying life to the hilt Such is life on the
raging Columbia.
Interest in the Legislature. There
appears to be more than ordinary interest
taken in the Legislature this session.
Early yesterday morning The Oregonlan
commenced, to receive Inquiries "by tele
phone for InformaUon from Salem as to
whether anything had been done toward
effccUng an organizaUon or not, and all
day long reporters were hailed in all parts
of the city and asked, "What is the latest
from Salem?" When they asked for news
Uiey were told that all the talent and
knowledge of tho state was assembled at
Salem, and the fountain of all news was
here. Early in tho afternoon a waiUng
public was informed that Brownell and
Harris had been elected. After the or
ganizaUon is effected and the Legislature
gets down to routine business the excite
ment will subside and things will go on
smoothly and quietly

Crushed bt Falling Lumber. Ernes
Carlson and James Ellis were caught be
neath a pile of falling lumber at tho
Eastern Lumber Companyws yards yester
day morning and sustained serious in
Juries. Carlson's Jaw was broken In two
places, his head badly scarred and his
arm broken. The chances for his recovery
seem to be slight Ellis sustained a few
scalp wounds and a broken rib. His In
juries will not prove to be of a serious
nature. In building a pile which was quite
high the men did not take the proper care
to make it secure. A slight Jar toppled it
over and the two victims were crushed be
neath the weight of sei'eral thousand feet
of lumber.
. Bills to Amend Library Law. Owing
to Uie fact that the Portland Public LI
brary Is badly hampered for lack of funds,
Milton W. Smith has caused a bill to be
drawn up which will allow the levy of the
City of Portland to be Increased to a larg
er-amount This bill will be Introduced In
the Legislature some time this week by a
membor of the Multnomah delegation. W.
'L. Brewster also has in preparation a bill
which will allow smaller ciUes to levy suf
ficlent taxes to institute libraries, for as
the law now stands Portland is the only
city in the state that has sufficient tax
able propery on which to obtain any rea
sonable- amount for tho use of libraries.

Guinean's Remedy for catarrh and colds
AT THE THEATERS
"The Tyranny of Tears."
Mrs. Parbury ....Graco Hobart Hanson
Hyaclnthe Woodard Rose Tiffany
George Gunning Charles Bertram
Colonel Armltage C. T. Watson
Evans Robert W. Bruner
Soloist Bessie. Wynn
Clement Parbury Paul Gllmoro
At the outset It is surprising to realize
how seven people forming the entire cast
of the English comedy of temperament.
'The Tyranny of Tears, could hold the
attention of an audience to such a delight
ful finish at the Marquam Grand Theater
last night The actors told a story of
surpassing Interest and clever repartee,
dealing so delicately and so charmingly
with the problem of how to be happy,
though married, that It was not a ques
tion at all how many people acted.
The comedy was written by liadden
Chambers, and In it John Drew achieved
one of his greatest successes. It deals
with the family life of Clement Parbury,
a successful English novelist, who resides
in one of the suburbs of London, and In
the first act It Is seen that Mrs. Parbury
rules her husband, body and soul, by hav
ing her own way In everything. If he
dares to show that he has a mind or a
real thought of his own, she breaks out
Into a deluge of tears, and he gives in, of
course. Matters are in this Interesting
condition when an old friend calls, George
Gunning, whom Parbury knew at Eaton
and Cambridge Universities. Gunning is
a bit of a cynic in his way, and he ad
vises Parbury to rebel against the tearful
rule of his wife, but he falls In lovo with
his host's secretary-typewriter, Hyaclnthe
Woodard, who Is a living Icicle, so far as
disposition is concerned. A climax occurs
when Mrs. Parbury discovers Miss Wood
ard kissing Parbury's photograph, and the
secretary Is ordered off the premises. She
refuses, and a domesUc scene ensues be
tween the Parburys, in which Mrs. 1'ar-
bury goes home to her father's house, but
onlv to return again.
Paul Gllmore, the Clement Parbury
of the play, has been starring for five
vears. and he appeared here nine years
ago as a member of Chauncey Olcott's com
pany. He belongs to Wisconsin, ana nis
mature work shows that he has a very
promising career before him as one of the
leading actors in this country, itose n
fany. the secretary, and Grace Hobart
Hanson, the wife, take their parts atimir
ably. Charles Bertram, the cynic who at
last finds peace, Is an unusually clever
actor. The scenery In the rose garden.
third act, is well worth seeing.
