IHotTOirr She Was in Seattle. Mrs. therlne Anderson, of Seattle, who is ting friends In this city, says she tost imagined herself at home Sat- lay. She took a Fifth-street car early the morning and had only gone a 2k or two when a driver backed a )n Into the front of the car, smash- two windows. The car pushed the jon nearly on top of the horse before pould be stopped. No serious idamage done, but some of the Portland ladles board were rather badly scared. An Ir or two later, while trying to cross street at the Intersection of Fourth Washington, she had a narrow es- e from being run down by a Monta- expressman. who came driving lnd the corner at a speed of 45 miles hour. She was lucky enough to es- Pe with the loss of a tip from one ler gaiters only, and by -noon managed set to the East Side to visit her sls- without further accident.

No one hurt except the old man. whose less e badly bruised, but he was able to Into the wagon again. Nothing more Ipened till she was trying to catch an- ir car to get hack to the house where I is staying, when a man In spectacles. ling a puffy, little automobile, tried Iron over her. She was saved by a i wno torn ner not to be excited, as same chauffeur had tried four times Icill him and would probably succeed ltualiy. jicksilver Mine Is Sold. The fact a quicksilver mine' In Eastern Ore- has lately been sold for $50,000 will bnlsh many mining men as well as hrs. Quicksilver mines are not often ;ht or sold in the state, as thy are numerous here. The property In stlon might more properly be spoken lis a claim, as It Is not thoroughly Piopea yet, although two tunnels have b run for some distance demonstrating fact that there Is plenty of ore and excellent quality yielding 3 ner cent iulcksllver, which is considered a high le. The claim Is situated about 30 Is from Prlnevllle and the sale is med by H. C.

The purchasers are citizens uluth. When $50,000 is paid for what it be termed a "prospect hole." It is f:nt that the prospects It yields must romlsing and if there Is a good mine us claim there may be others In the district. The development of this will be watched for with Interest ill mining men. e Catchino Salmon. An Oak Point irman. who is in the city, says It not seem right to him to place In at Astoria a fisherman who km Iht with a few salmon In his boat. au me nsnermen along the river that there are IS boats fishlntr dav night at Green Point, a little above ;er s.

United States tccrs. and served two years in the spines during the Spanish war. His will be sent to Benton, Ark-, where blatlves reside.. Luc Bloch has moved to "i Third. All Kixds or. Bo&sm Scaboc The demand for horses of all kinds, from the heavy Perckeroas an4 Clydesdales, which bring $490 a pair, down-to light carriage horses for family use, Is very large at present. Dealers are unable to supply It. though they scbur the countrr in all di rections in search of stock. Some heavy team horses are found occasionally, which farmers can be induced to part with at round prices, now that their Spring work is almost completed. The hoofs of most of these are worn very short, showing that they have been worked without shoes, but they soon grow out when prop erly shod. The manager of a large trans fer company was looking around Sat urday for half a. dozen team horses to fill the places of some that had died and' others which were laid up, from getting nails In their feet, but be could find only one pair. Horses suitable for family car riages, hacks and light work are still scarcer. Dealers say that when hard times came on. farmers quit raising car riage horses and turned their attention to heaxT draft horses, under the Idea that there would never be any demand for horses for pleasure driving again, and team horses would be the only ones In de mand. Now, although there is a market for all the heavy team horses they have, good standard-bred trotters would bring even better prices. Many of the heavy team horses throughout the Willamette "Valley are bought up for lumber camps on Puget Sound by agents who travel through the Valley and often pay extrav agant prices. Some people who want horses start out to hunt them up thinking they can buy them cheaper from the breeder than from the dealer,. They often fall in this and after considerable expend iture of time and money find them selves with the kind of animals on their hands which they do not want. Then they take them to a dealer to be- sold and order the kind they want A contract was taken here a while ago to supply the Government with & lot of cavalry horses, but It Is not likely to be filled soon as the style of horses required Is not to be found. Planb ron Public Market. The com pany which presented plans to the Coun cil last Summer for a market building, which it proposed to erect oh the Market block, but which were not accepted, has now completed plans for a brick market building of the most approved style, which It will lay before the' Council at Its next meeting on Wednesday, ac companied by a proposition for the main tenance of a public market to take the place of old Mechanics' Pavilion shack. These plans have been made especially to meet the requirement of the city au thorities as well "as to facilitate the mar keting of country produce to the best possible advantage. Careful Inquiry among the market gardeners shows that there is a very strong desire among them to be permitted to do business under a good roof instead of being com pelled to transact It around the plaza blocks exposed to wind and weather. There Is at present a unanimity of opin ion among the city authorities fend the public generally that Portland has been too long without a first-class market. Farmers have no place where they can bring their products for sale with a cer tainty of meeting buyers and have been obliged to go from house to house, when they would prefer to sell at one point. The plans of the proposed market will Include, besides stalls and stands for the sale of all kinds of produce, waiting rooms for women, where they can rest and enjoy the use or lavatories, etc., .and to which they can have purchases sent to be cared for till they are ready to go home. There will also be an office provided for a city food inspector, should the authorities decide to appoint such an official to examine products offered for sale. Carp Drove Caxvasbacks Away. Sportsmen have suffered more than any one else from the Introduction of the German carp Into the rivers here, as they have exterminated the wapato plants from the lakes and sloughs along the Columbia, and driven away the canvas back ducks which were attracted by the wapatOB, their favorite food. These peo ple have been Interested in a statement published in Eastern papers to the effect that Henry Barger, of Mays 1fi.ndlng, N. J., has taken a contract to clear the Schuylkill River of carp. The chief ob jection made to the carp by Pennsylva nlans is that they are not game fish, and that they grub down In the mud and dirty the water, l&r. Burger is to take the carp caught In payment for removing them from the Schuylkill, and will stock the river with pike, pickerel and perch. He expects to catch 10.000 pounds a week and to be able to sell them at low rates to the poor of various cities. He will em ploy a fleet of Ashing boats and great nets worked from river boats. If he suc ceeds he can further distinguish himself by trying to exterminate carp In the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, where there are hundreds of tons of them. As the Schuylkill River Is about the size of the Clackamas, he may employ a lot of the fishermen who have been for years endeavoring to clear the Clackamas of salmon. It the carp could be exterminat ed here and the wapato lakes replanted ap that they would furnish good canvas back shooting again sportsmen would be happy. They can attract other ducks by feeding them with wheat placed so that the carp cannot get at it, but the canvas back will not eat wheat. Continuous Performance on the Piano. A resident of the Nob Hill dis trict, who is a great lover of music, and who has never had his fill of it, as his daughter declines to play all the time he is at home, is greatly rejoiced because his next door neighbor has had an at tachment put on his piano which enables any member of the famlly4 to play It. As there are three .boys and two girls In this family and all are fond of music, this piano is kept going almost con stantly day and night, and there Is music enough in the air to satiate the whole neighborhood. "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast," and Judging from what some of the neighbors say about this continuous, performance piano, it has also power to change some peace ful, orderly citizens Into bloodthirsty savages and animate them with a desire to start on the warpath, tomahawk In hand, howling for blood and piano scalps. Part or Drtdock Ib Readt. Two of the large pontoons for the Port of Port land's floating drydock, which Is being built at Vancouver, will probably be launched this week. One of them was completed last week and it was Intended to launch it last Saturday, but the Co lumbia began to rise that morning and as it would be less trouble and expense to launch it when the river was higher It was decided to wait till the water had risen about a foot and a half. It la ex pected to reach that stage today or to morrow, and as soon as possible after it does the huge pontoon will be got off the ways Into the water. The sec ond one will be ready for launching by that time and will be got Into the water at once. This will leavo more room for the other three, which will complete the dock's ''fleet" of five pontoons. This Week Onlt, all our $5 umbrellas ,$i; all colors, plain and striped.

Henrietta. Hobbs Catbrine Countlsa Maid servant Roy Bernard There are many pretty girls, with a particular charm all their own, worth knowing In Portland, but a new and de lightful girl In the persin of "Miss Hobbs" made the acquaintance of theater-goera at two different performances at the Ba ker Theater yesterday, and she proved to be a person worth knowing. "Miss Hodds" is a dainty, sweet, beautiful comedy in four acts, written in Jerome K. Jerome's happiest vein. It Is the same Jerome who wrote "Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fel low" and "Three Men In a Boat," and the same quiet, refined humor Is found In "Miss Hobbs." The comedy was well re ceived by large audiences. Never has Catherine Countlss dono finer or more subtle work than " In "Miss Hobbs." She has a difficult part td play, that of a refined, educated, good-looking girl, who is a professional man-hater and speaks against tyrant man at women's meetings. It would be easy to portray an unattractive, short-haired woman woarlng green spectacles, and with a sallow complexion, and present her as a man-hater. Any audience could grasp that fact Miss Countlss, during the continu ance of three acts when she meets the man who loves her, Wolff Kingseari (George Allsbn), Is cold, distant and al most repelling, but an occasional gleam of sentiment shows that she has a heart. She fried real mutton chops and made real coffee on the stage, and one wished one were invited to partake of a meal prepared by ouch dainty hands. Through out all the loe-mak!og between Miss Hobbs and Wolff Kingseari, not once does either one really say, "I love you," and bill and coo as lovers. It Is all Implied, and the final scene when MIsb Hobbs agrees to surrender and become Mrs. Wolff Kingseari is most artistic because It is so dainty and so unexpected. George Alison Is admirable as the woman-tamer, and his yachting costume becomes him. He was Impressive In his sentiment Howard Russell and Elsie Es mond, as a newly married couple, looked the part, and their work was brilliant Lillian Rhoads and Mlna Gleason have minor parts, but they supply delightful humor. William Bernard is amusing as a languid dandy, and Fred Mower makes an excellent sea dog as Captain Sands. The stage detail shown In the drawing room and yacht cabin is neat and artis tic. "Miss Hobbs" Is one of the greatest comedies ever seen In this city, and will be the attraction all this week at the Baker Theater. ABOUT STAGE FOLK. What Is Going on at the Thea ter. Elsie Esmond, one of the favorite act resses at Baker's Theater, will remain a member of the Baker Theater Com pany until the close of the present sea son, and will appear with the other mem bers of the organization during the Seat tle engagement William H. Dills, of Baker's Theater, left this city yesterday for New York, to appear In a four weeks' engagement In a revival of "The Starbucks.'' One night recently he was entertained at sup per by several members of Baker's The atqr Company, and was wished good luck. Harry Corson Clarke was one of those who enjoyed "Miss Hobbs" last night, at Baker's. The newly-organized staff at Cordray's Theater did excellent work, yesterday, In seating ahd making comfortable, two large audiences. The orchestral work heard during the performances of "The Wizard of tho Nile," at the Marquam Theater, Is warm ly commended. The orchestra consisted of W. H. Boyer, conductor, and these players: Messrs. Denton. Driscoll. Gard ner, Rlchter, Konrad, Bertram, Praeger, Straub. Searl. Hughes, Palaclos, Jones, Everest Bentley, Samuels, Kane, Web ber and Wonder. Th6 Multnomah boys are resting after their hard work, and arc satisfied with the success of their venture. George A. Eastman, as Ptol emy, worked as hard as any one of them, and probably was oftenest on the stage. He acted admirably. Elks' Night at Baker's. Seats will go on sale and tickets be ex changed this morning at 10 o'clock at the Baker Theater box office for the theater party to be tendered Friday even ing at that popular place of amusement to memebsr of the. Baker's Theater Com pany by the Portland Lodge of Elks, No. 141 Tickets can be obtained from Sec retary Rowe, at Martin & Howe's drug store. The entire lower floor of the the ater will be reserved for Elks and their families, and the public will be admitted upstairs. The attraction, of course, will be the delightful comedy, "Miss Hobhs." The occasion will be an old-fashioned Elks' party, where everybody will know everybody else and have a good time, and will remind one of the large parties held by the Elks not so very long ago," when eoclablllty was the principal feature. NEW PATROL WAGON. LHxnrloHs Vehicle, in Which Draski "Will Be Conveyed to Station. The new patrol wagon, ordered for the police force some time ago, will probably be in service within the next two days. It Is In the city now, and the letters "P. P. F." and "Police patrol," are being painted on it in conspicuous places. The new wagon is a beauty, and Drivers Reiner and Price smile with pride when it Is mentioned to them. Rubber tires, brass hubs, easy springs, and a carefully made contrivance for using stretchern are a few of the desirable Improvements over the old wagon. The new wagon Is larger than tho old one. and Is heavier and more strongly built The gong Ib of the rotary self-winding variety, and with it the driver can mako enough noise to put the new street-cars to shame. There will be little danger of an accident for the people will know the wagon Is coming for several blocks. Instead of one lantern rack there will be three. Two bullseye lan terns will light the way for the driver, and bihlnd is a lantern for the Jailer to us. The old wagon, which will now go out of service, has been in use for many years, and Is the first patrol wagon ever purchased by the City of Portland. It has done good service, but Its day Is past Almost everything about It is broken or about to break, and the officers insist thai every time they go out with it they are afraid they will have to walk back home. ASSOCIATION STAR COURSE At Y. M. C. A, Auditorium, Dr. Lrmaa B. Sperrj- Tonlght In the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium Dr. Lyman B. S perry gives his great il lustrated lecture, "America's Wonder land."

Single admission SO cents, in cluding reserved seats. "The Fatal Wedding:." Howard Wllsoa Win W. Crlmina Robert Curtis John McKee Toto Albert Boecardi Peter Schwarti. Charles Weston O'Reilly Richard Qsllter Rev. Dr. Lanceford Howard Kryle Mabel Wilson Roialte 66 Vaux Cora. Williams Mary Condon Bridget -...May MeCabe Jessie . Little Lillian Rosewood r Frank "VVlifon Master Wallle Jessie's playmates, etc Lillian Rosewood, a -little girl 10 years old and hailing from Baltimore, Md., is the particular star In the new play, "The Fatal Wedding," twice produced yester day to crowded houses at Cordray's The ater. She displays a wonderful talent in her portrayal of Jessie, "the little mother," who earns her living by felling newspapers In the streets of "Kew York and Is the sole comforter of an unhappy parent who, through the machinations of two enemies, is separated from her hus band. The little girl is apt In her dia logue work and speaks her lines without a smgle mistake, but it would be an im provement If she used more emphasis. The play deals with the vexed question of the divorce court where Howard Wil son (W. W. Crimlns), a wealthy New. York clubman, secures a divorce from his wife, Mabel Wilson (Rosalie de Vaux), on the charge of having broken her marriage vow, and the court awards him- the cus today of his two children, Jessie and Frank. The story is a wholesome one. however, and the lines offend nobody. A healthy moral is unfolded, and it was in teresting to note yesterday that the audi ence heartily hissed the hea"y man, Rob ert Curtis (John McKee) and his com panion In crime, Cora Williams (Mary Condon), and cheered and applauded the afflicted Wilson family. Cora Williams, an adventuress, loved Howard Wllqpn before he married his wife Mabel, and never forgave the latter for the fancied injury. Cora waits until the christening of the Wilsons' second child before she poisons Wilson's ears with a bogus story of the wife's infatu ation for Robert Curtis. A divorce fol lows, and Cora schemes to become Mrs. Wilson No. 2. The wedding ceremony la actually started at Grace Episcopal Church, New York, with chorister boys and a surpliced clergyman In attendance, when the sudden discovery of a contract for blood money shows Mrs. Wilson to be Innocent of wrongding, and she and her husband are reunited. Curtis shoots and kills Cora, while she Is wearing her wed ding garments. The sensation is in the third act when Mrs. Wilson, Toto (a French butler) and "the little mother" escape from" a counterfeiters' den by a hand-over-hand performance along a rope stretched across a chasm. It Is thrilling. Albert RoccardI, as Toto, and May Me Cabe, as Bridget, supply the mirthful comedy. "The Fatal Wedding" Is a meritorious production, and will be the attraction at Cordray's all week. FIREBUGS ESCAPED. It They Had Been CanRht, They MIffht Have Been "Dope Fiends." Two men who tried to start a Are un der the Washington-street dock were given a hot chase last night by Patrol men Nash, Duncan and aughn. For over an hour the officers floundered about the dark and muddy alleyways which form a labyrinth under the water front prop erty, and finally returned' to the police station covered with dirt and cobwebs, but without their men. While there Is a suspicion In the minds of the officers that they" were chasing the men who are responsible for the many Incendiary fires that have occurred In Portland during the past month, they are more inclined to think that the men were only building a fire to warm themselves by, and were not trying to set fire to the Washington-street dock. "Wharf rats" Is a term applied by the police to a cer tain class of morphine fields who almost make, their homes under the Portland wharves, and It Is thought that the objects of last night's chase are men of this character. These men know every alley way, and dodge through thenj when pur sued In a manner which baffles the officers who ore after them. "I would as soon try to catch a rat as one of these fellows," said an officer, after a chase. About 6 o'clock In the evening a call came to the police station to send officers to the Washington-street dock at once. A man, giving his name as John M. Slaughter,- was creating a disturbance there, and the patrol wagon was sent The dock hands reported to the officers while there that some one was trying to start a fire under the dock. "The firebug," thought each officer, and all three started In hot pursuit The scene of the attempt was found, but It was only a pile of kindling In a place where a con flagration could ,not well have started. Any sort of a fire In such a place, how ever. Is not allowed, and the officers want ed to catch the offenders. A glimpse of the fugitives was obtained, and three officers started In pursuit When they arrived at the point where they had last seen their men, they could go no further.. A close inspection revealed a small alleyway, up which the men must have sped. The officers started along this alleyway, but soon found themeelves In very close quarters. There were many openings leading away from this. Some were passable, and some were not They started up one, but It soon ended abrupt ly. After crawling and floundering In the cold, dirty passages for about an hour, they gave up the chase and returned. GENERAL STEVENS DEAD He Died Yesterdny Morning: at the Home of His Son, In La Grande. General J. H. Stevens, one of the oldest and best-known pioneers of Union Coun ty, died yesterday morning at the home of his son, Jasper Stevens, at La Grande, after a brief illness. General Stevens came to La Grande in 1S63 and conducted a hotel In the Old Town, until the build ing was destroyed by fire. Afterwards for a number of years he was Register of the La Grande Land Office, when Daniel Chaplain was Receiver. He was a Republican when It meant something to oe or tnat political faith in Union County. For some time he lived on a farm on the divide between .Grande Ronde and Powder River Valley with his son. but later moved, back to La Grande. General Stevens was 97 years of age, and was quite bright and cheerful. He became blind several years ago, ' and since then has been confined to the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Stevens. Ever since Grande Ronde Valley was settled General Stevens has been a well known citizen, and he has many friends in Portland and elsewhere who will re gret to hear of his death, although they have felt for some time that the end could not bo far off. A son and daughter survive him Jasper Stevens and Mrs. Da vid Kelly, both of La Grande, beside other relatives- His wife died about seven years ago. Seedsmen Carry Novel Grains. Seedsmen of late have frequent calls for "corn-wheat." -which they call "roggen or German rye, mostly In small quanti ties for experimenting with. "Roggeh" Is German for rye. and this grain Is ex tensively grown In Germany for making rye. or black bread, as it Is called. The grain is larger than the rye usually grown In this country and is more flinty and transparent. Many Americans like "Schwartz brodt" for a change, but neither it nor roggen,' from which it is aaade. is likely to case late general use in this country. Aaotar odd sort of grain kept in stock by seedsmen Is "speltZi" which looks like a poor grade of wheat from which the chaff has not been removed. On the sample sacks are cards stating that it produces 100 bushels to the acre, probably chaff and alL It is grown qutto extensively by a few per sons here. Another grain, not largely grown. Is "beardless" barley. It is not so plump looking as the "bearded" bar ley, nor so much used In the manufacture of beer. In the matter of grain and flour, Oregon wheat satisfies most people, and will do to tie to, with a little corn and rye for variety. NEW HOTEL WO OLD PAY Bat Mr. Tyler Denies Any Intention ef Baitdlns It. W. D. Tyler, of Tacoma, whom rumor has said would construct a flve-story ho tel in this city. Is stopping at the Port land. Mr. Tyler denies any Intention of building any hotel here, though he states that there has been considerable discus sion of the feasibility of the proposition. "The question of the erection of a new hotel in Portland has been discussed by prominent property-owners and capitalists for some time," stated Mr. Tyler yester day. "But so far as I am concerned I have had nothing to do with the matter and do not know that it Is contemplated to erect a new hotel here. "Among the business men and capital ists of Portland there Is a feeling that a new hotel will be necessary before the Lewis and Clark Exposition opens. But not only would that event Justify the erection of another building, but Port land's prospects are such as to Insure the success of the venture. Portland Is so situated that the traveling public that vis Its Oregon must come to this city. Half of Eastern. Washington, the southwestern part of the state and a portion of Cali fornia Is tributary to Portland. With such a field this will always be a good hotel city, and, irrespective of the Lewis' and Clark Fair, It would be a good In vestment to erect another hotel building. "As I understand It, though, the matter has not yet gone beyond a general can vass of the situation. . Some property owners are anxious to have a hotel erect ed and there are men of means xeady to undertake the work. The story that I am connected with the propoaltlon, how ever, Is in error."
