"Write Peculiar Letter to "Wife, t. lHt May Meet Her Again. Deserted by her husband with six help lesp children, Mrs. 1L C. Humphrey ap plied to the City Board of Charities yes terday for relief, and the attention of the County Court -was called to the case. The ages of the children are 11, 9, 8 and 3 years and 18 and 3 months, respectively. There are four boys and two girls In the fam ily. Humphrey, according to his wife's state ment, left theha at Vancouver, where they were living In a tent, three weeks ago, and she has not seen him since, but re ceived letters and postal cards from him ptatlng that the burden was too great for him to bear, and that the Xord would pro vide. The Humphreys lived In Portland and at Sylvan for the past Ave years, and they only recently went to "Vancouver to reside. The authorities there became Ttlred of assisting the mother and chil dren, and considering them to be nonres idents, sent them back to this city. When Mrs. Humphrey and her offspring arrived at the Courthouse, she looked Ithe picture of despair. She was afraid Jjthey were going to be parted, and re xoarked tearfully: ' "I don't want my children taken from rae; I love my children." Sho was pacified with assurances that ;the question of taking her children away from her was not being considered, but 'Only the matter of affording all of them relief. The woman stated that she became iitumphrey's wife in Kansas 18 years ago, 7 and that since they resided in Oregon he Ibonght and sold junk for a living. A (brother of her husband, who is a store keeper in Chapman," Kan., she said, would assist her If she was there, and also her I' own brother. Mrs. Humphrey also stated that when her husband left her he wore a full beard, but she had heard that he fbad since shaved clean. , She -produced a letter mailed to her by 2ier husband from Newbergr, Or., dated J Sunday, May 10, a copy of which is as follows: 1 Dear "Wife and My Children: I want to see you all, but feel sure the "Vancouver .citizens are all mad at me, and want to I have me sent to the "Washington Peniten Itlary because I don't and cannot supply Jyour dally needs. I have a little money today, but owe it all to pay out tomor row. I am afraid to go back to Van couver. The people are not willing to help feed me or any of you when I am there, and threats were made, too, against J me when I was there to make me trou ble and to arrest. I feel sure you will all be guarded and provided for better, as I am and have to be away from you all, than I can do for you. You know I am over $30 in debt, too, to XjOuIs and Herbert Humphreys, and am in a poor condition to provide for you. It eems to me to be better for you all for me to be away, too. so you can have all you do need for dally food, etc If I go pack to you and don't have money to aid you, well, J am likely to bo sent to State's Prison. Then I could not be with you or help you. My health, too, is slowly falling me, so I have got to doctor my self now to keep out of the ground and the hospitals. I havo a chance to go to Montana to work free fare from Portland, to start Tuesday morning. I have a chance to go to Montana to work, free fare from Portland, to start Tuesday morning. That is about half-way to Kansas. Louis can help me through; there I will have a welcome home on parth. My past trouble and hardships for 15 years past have been an awful tax on me. I am offered ?8 for my cart, so with that I can go sure. I ask for forgive ness for all wrongs, for we may never meet again on earth, but I hope we may .ll meet In heaven. I feel very lonesome, but we all have to part here on earth. I have done all I have felt able to do for you all in different ways, but I cannot do enough to satisfy all. I must pay my own hills of expenses, so have to help myself tiow. Lord guard, guide and bless you all, and do all you honor, love and eerve him. so you can nave a good, happy home In heaven. Keep this letter and show It. FarewelL I go as far as Portland to morrow. Judge Webster requested tho City Board of Charities to provide for Mrs. Humphrey and her children last night, and today will probably arrange to eend the family to Kansas, where the relatives are, which can be done for $75. The rail road companies grant reduced rates of fare in such cases. If tho father reaches Kansas a family reunion may occur. MANY NEW CORPORATIONS. Rnsh to pet in. Under Provisions of Old Law.

Judge Sears yesterday handed down a joint-session opinion in the suit of Wad rmms & Kerr Brothers against Allen jr. t,pw!s. in favor of the latter. The suit was brought to enjoin Allen Lewis from using a label said to bo, similar in style and color to the "Monopole" label nf Wnrihnms & Kerr Brothers. Jn deciding the case Judge bears said in part: "The labels used by the de fendants fall far short of an infringe ment: nothing but gross carelessness on the part of a purchaser accustonred to use those articles would permit K confusion of goods or justify a deception. We have examined these labels In every point of ylew, and In every aspect of the case Jlkely to arise, and our conclusion tends irreslstably to the result expressed. "A majority of the court Inclines to tho view that the first, tomato can, ex hibit 8, would probably' fall upon the ap plication of this test, but equity -will jiot enjoin the mere expression of an opinion. The defendants, Allen & liewls, do assert that they have a right to use their label; yet that it does "not Infringe, but they say unhesitatingly and positive ly in both their answer and In the evi dence of their manager and officers, that they have abandoned Its use; that they will never employ it again upon their cans. For a mere abandoned use. for purposes of an accounting alone, with out a restraining order, equity is with out jurisdiction, the appropriate remedy being furnished in a court of law. ,The plaintiffs have failed to establish their cause, and the complaint should be dismissed." EACH ACCUSES OTHER. Rogers and "Wife Reunited end Their Children Arc Provided For. James Rogers, who filed a petition In the County Court Monday asking that his five children be surrendered to the cus tody of the Boys' & Girls' Aid Society, yesterday withdrew tho petition because his wife returned to him and a recon ciliation took place.

General Manager C. F. Swlgert, of the City & Suburban Railway Company, has returned after a six weeks visit to the Eastern cities. Mr. Sv.-igert went on a trip to select a suitable fender which the new laws require to bo affixed to every street-car, and he reports that, after a long search, he has selected two models which mny be of service. The fenders in use In most American cities are of very little practical value, and a good one is hard to find. Mr. Swl gert succeeded, however, in picking out styles that seem to be the best of the lot, and he will recommend their 'purchase All cars have to be equipped with the safety devices before the beginning of 1901, and as the company has over 100 cars to work on. the task will be no small one. In speaking of the matter, Mr. Swl gert said yesterday: "After a rather extended examination, and that, too. of the best devices used on the best roads of the East, I am still of tho opinion that any of them are adequate for the purpose, but we must do some thing for the protection of the public, and shall adopt the best available fender. It is not a question of whether we shall get lenders, lor that is decided; but It is now a question of what kind, and we shall be obliged to do the best with what is of fered. "There are many different kinds In use. In fact, every different section seems to have a kind of its own; but all acknowl edge that theirs are far from perfection. We shall not make a decision upon what kind to use until I have made a report to the directors and they decide for them selves from what recommendation I can make. I am fully convinced of the kind that I consider the best, and shall make recommendations to the board and expect iney wm aeciae in a very short time." Water Would Carry Cholera Germs ST. LOUIS.

Great Display of Acrobats and. Per forming; Animals Will Be Seen on Street Today. Today Is circus day and our country couslna will be in town early to enjoy with the city folks a gala day of pleasure and amusement. Norrls & Bowe's big shows will be here with its train-load of performing .animals, funny clowns and bands of music to gladden the hearts of the anxious juveniles'. Norrls & Howe's reputation for progresslveness has pre ceded them. This year they are said to have a still larger and better aggrega tion of performing animals than ever and havo augmented their programme with a troupe of Japanese performers, a family of gymnasts and acrobats making- the most complete and enjoyable performance imaginable Since the days of our childhood circus, when old Dan Rice was the brightest shining star In the constellation of arenlc celebrities. It has been customary for all traveling shows to give a street parade and, although Norrls & Rowe have noth ing of the old-school "flavor" about their ehows, but a thoroughly up-to-date ag gregation, they still adhere to the old custom and give a grand parado each morning at 10:30. The principal reason for continuing the old custom Is that, while they are glvng their thousands of patrons a free treat, they are, by displaying their mag nificent animals and equipage, advertis ing their splendid performances and show ing the wonderful growth of their ag gregation since its former visit. This show is too well known to require a de tailed description. Suffice It to say Norrls & Rowe always bring a multitude of new acts and novel features, which are equally enjoyable to old and young. TO PRESENT "WAR SCENE Realistic Sham Battle to Be Given Friday Night. The praiseworthy object of the sham bat tle, to be given Friday night, of this week, ought to insure the largest attendance that has ever assembled at the Portland baseball grounds. One-half of the pro ceeds to go to the monument to all soldiers which the G. A. R. is to erect at Lone Fir cemetery, and the other half Is to be used in beautifying and perpetuating tho soldiers' plot In RIvervlew cemetery. There is something about war that ap peals to the average mind- it Is probably due to the fact that the Anglo-Saxon race has descended from a line of war riors who were Just as patriotic and ready to fight for their homes and country as is the American of today. The committee of Spanish-American War Veterans which has the battle in charge has perfected all Its arrangements. and the programme prepared Is a most ef fective one. There will be a short parade at 7:30 o'clock, led by the Third Regiment band, through some of the principal streets, and at 8:15 o'clock the band will give, a short promenade concert, followed by the cere mony of guard mount, by the vetorans, af ter which the troops will go into camp, as if actually in the field. After mess has been served a little of the merry side of war will be shown and then taps. The sleeping camp will then be attacked and the defense will be as fine a piece of man euvering as it is possible to make. Each man will have 50 rounds of ammunition, and this. In addition- to the two field pieces, will .make a magnificent display. The baseball grounds. Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets, can be reached by the "b" and Twenty-thlrd-strect cars, and ar rangements will be made to handle the crowd expeditiously. Tickets are being sold by members of the Grand Army and Spanish-American War Veterans. Tickets can also be ob tained at the entrance to the baseball grounds. ARRANGING ITS EXHIBITS Oregon Information Bureau Gathers Attractive Displays. . For two weeks past the Executive Board of the Oregon Information Bureau has been kept busy at Its room In the Union Depot arranging exhibits from the vari ous counties and other materials. The season .of the year Is not opportune for such work, but the exhibits thus far, while not complete, have been sufficient to make an attractive display. Through the efforts of R. C. Judson, of the O. R. & N., who is a member of the executive committee, the bureau has been supplied with much valuable material without expense. Colonel Judson has made a plan by which the best possible effect has been produced with the mate rial at hand. The committee Is proud of the work already accomplished. Co-operation Is assured in the work of securing de alled Information for the results for which the bureau was organized. All facts of Interest to the homeseeker and Investor will be carefully tabulated, and competent assistants will assure the most courteous response to all Inquiries.

The office force has been kept busy with visitors and correspondence. The register shows a wide range of visitors, embracing names from almost every state in the Union, and all of them eager to know about Oregop. Much favorable comment has been ex pressed at the Interest Portland Is tak ing In this work. There Is a manifest de termination on the part of visitors from various parts of the state to aid the bu reau in securing reliable Information.

Captain of Detectives Simmons and De tectlve Joe Day turned a clever trick yes terday morning by landing in the city Jail Thomas O'Brien and George Wilson, alias "The St. Paul Kid." two of the smoothest pickpockets In tho country. who were traveling in advance of the Presidential party to prey upon the crowds that will flock to Portland on Thursday. The Southern Pacific train arriving at 7:15 this morning, brought to Portland J. D. Dynes, an old soldier, who made all haste to the Police Station, where he related to Captain Simmons how his pockets had been rifled by two young men. who left the train at Oregon City. Ko money had heen taken from Mr. Dynes, hut the thieves had stolen hie pocketbook containing his pension papers and other personal documents. The loss was not discovered until the train left Oregon City, or Mr. Dynes would have followed the young men when they left tho train. "Those fellows will come to Portland on an electric car," said Captain Simmons to Detective Day, and the two officers hurried out of the station and soon learned that three men had left an Oregon City car a few minutes previous on the East Side. Deciding that- these men were worth watching, the officers hurried to the Madison-street bridge to keep a watch for the suspects. They were just In time, for. as they walked across the bridge. they met two young men. carrying bundles, whom they thought it advisable to shadow. The young men went straight PIANOS at a sacrifice: Owing to tho unsettled condition of the labor trouble which has had its effect on trade to a certain extent, and In order to make room for the large shipments on the way, we concluded to offer some special Inducements for a short time, and name the following low prices: jf 400 Planes N'evr ."$324 $STS Pianos New J200 ? 350 Pianos Now SJ284 ?325 Planes Noir ?208 300 Planes Now 8233 8250 Pianos Now 81S0 All sold on our easy-payment plan of $8. $8 and $10 per month.

Fifteen minutes later O Brlen and Wil son met, but under different circum stances. Captain Simmons smiled when he found $63.10 on Wilson and $13 on O'Brien. "Think I have met you hefore." said Detective Day to Wilson. Tho ofllcer rec ognized the thief as "The St. Paul Kid." whom he had met at the World's and Mid-Winter Fairs. "Guess we're up against It," remarked Wilson, and they admitted their identity.- After being searched both pickpockets were locked up, and later were sent to Oregon City In charge of City Marshal Burns to stand trial there.

There are many people who make the humiliating acknowledgment that they are dependent upon Coffee to "brace them up" every little while. These have never learned the truth about Postum Cereal Coffee which makes leaving off coffee a simple matter and brings health . and. strength In place of coffee ills. A lady of Davenport, Iowa, who has used Postum Food Coffee for five years is competent to talk upon the subject. She says: "I am a school teacher and during extra work when I thought I needed, to be braced up I used to Indulge In rich, strong coffee of which I was very fond and upon which I thought I was depend ent. "I began to hove serious heart palpita tion and at tiroes had sharp pains around the heart and more or less stomach trouble. I read about Postum and got some to try. I -dropped coffee, took up the Postum and it worked such wonders for me that many of my friends took it up. "In a short time I was well again, even able to attend evening socials. And I did not rules my coffee at all. Now I can truthfully say that I have been repaid fully for the change I made.
