SERTED BY HUSBAXD.
Humphrey, "Wandering: Jnak Dealer,
. "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.

LABEL SUIT DECIDED.
Judge in Joint Session Agree in
Favor of Allen fc Lewis.
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

FENDERS FOR STREET-CARS
Svtlgert "Will Recommend Best for
City nnd Suburban Lines.
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."

TODAY IS CIRCUS DAY
NORRIS & ROWE'S SHOW "WILL PA
RADE THE CITY.
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.

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

men. who left the train at Oregon City.
Ko money had heen taken from Mr.
Dynes, hut the thieves had stolen hie

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

It's Easy to Shalce Off the Coffee
Hnbit.
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. I have no
indications of heart disease and not once
Jn the past four years have I had a sick
headache or bilious spelL
