of Idaho, -which. -was held at Boise the past

Brooklyn School Has Librabt.
Through the efforts of the principal,
teachers and pupils of the Brooklyn School
a library of nearly 500 excellent books has
been collected for the use of that school.
Three years ago, outside of a few refer
ence books, there was no library in the
building. Miss A. L. Dlmlck, the principal,
took the matter up, and now one of the
best school libraries: in the city has been
obtained through the efforts of the school.
While in number the library does not
equal those in the Stephens and the
Thompson buildings, yet in character and
quality it is inferior to neither. Each
graduating class, the February and June
class, have given entertainments that net
ted substantial sums, most of which has
been expended in the purchase of care
fully selected books. Owing to the crowd
ed condition of the Brooklyn building at
present, it is not possible to properly house
these books, but when the new building
comes, which has been promised for next
year, the fine library can be classified and
arranged.
Bucking Catose Afbaid of Car. An
untamed' cayuse caused excitement on
Washington street, yesterday afternoon,
by making strenuous endeavors to climb
the electric pole? and appropriate the side
walk In manifestation of his fear of a
street-car that was approaching. The ani
mal, which was apparently being ridden
for the first time in a city, was overtaken
bj a car near Park street. In a moment
the horse bunched his feet together, went
straight into the air as if he were going
to make a balloon, ascension. Then he
began an exhibition of broncho antics that
would have made a Texas cow-pony
aahamed of himself. He looked as if he
were going to attempt to scale the electric
poles, then pranced up$m the sidewalk,
forcing a crowd of pedestrians to scatter
in a hurry to avoid being trampled upon.
The rider Anally succeeded in getting the
animal headed east, and both disappeared
down the street at a rapid pace.

Not Afraid of Dynamiters. Frederick
C. Norris, conductor on the Northern Pa
cific Railroad, arrived home Saturday
night from what anxious friends thought
the most dangerous run to his record, but
he laughs at the idea of being frightened
by the threats of the blackmailers. Mr.
Norris came through Helena on the day
the dynamiters had set for blowing up
the big station there, but says the train
men were not worried to any extent, as
they knew how well the entire route was
being guarded by the company's watch
men, so none of them lost any sleep while
in that district. He is inclined to think
the reports of the dynamite plot have
been somewhat exaggerated.

Trick Bicycle Riders. A man with
plenty of money and spare time proved
a veritable Santa Claus to a couple of
messenger boys yesterday afternoon, and
they fell easy prey to tho opportunity of
making a few dollars, while the notes they
were hurried out to deliver safely reposed
In their coat pockets. The man searching
for amusement discovered a pile of sand
near the curb on Seventh street, lust back
of the- power-house. He found a narrow
board, with which he constructed a sort
of "slack wire" arrangoment by resting
one end on the sand and the other on a
toolbox which stood on the curb. He then
ofTered the boys $1 if they could ride over
it on their wheels. This was so easy for
these youngsters that he thought he'd try
something more difficult, and brought a
barrel out of a nearby alley, over wnicn
the board was laid, making what the chil
dren call a see-saw. Twenty-five cents a
trip was ofTered for this, and he stood pat
on his offer until the boys had each sev
eral dollars. A larcre crowd gathered to
watch this exhibition of trick riding, and
while the onlookers were all thinking over
the old proverb, "A fool and his money
are soon parted," a policeman Intimated
in stentorian tones that it would be a good
idea to "move on."
Coon-Hunt on Washington Street.
A nnnn ninn tno- nhnnf sixth and Wash
ington streets last evening started a crowd
in his wake. Armed with canes ana um
brellas, the crowd tried to kill the coon,
who, for his part, scuttled around on the
sidewalk so rapidly that he kept his pur
suers on the run. The coon was "Billy,"
the mascot of the firemen of Chemical 1
and Hose 1. stationed on Second street,
near Oak. He has the privilege of China
town, where he has put most of the dogs
to flight. Last evening he wandered a
little farther from home than usual and
came near getting killed. Cornered at
Sixth and Stark streets, he was rescued
by two men who knew his owners. Mad
and indignant from end 54 end, he was
carried away from his persecutors by the
tair. A telephone message had been sent
to the engine-house that "Billy" was tne
subject of a coon-hunt on Washington
street, and' the firemen turned out in a
body. When his owner found him "Billy"
nestled upon his shoulder, safe at last.
Falls Into the River. Preparatory to
the rebuilding of Morrison bridge the
General Electric Company is laying heavy
cables across the Willamette River by way
of the Burnslde bridge. While laying a
two-inch galvanized iron cable from the
East to the West Side Saturday, the big
rope got away from the men who were
hauling it and went into the river at a
depth of 60 leet. George Tilden, the diver,
was engaged in fishing it up yesterday.
The way that cable went Into the river
was a sight. It shot through the opening
with the speed of lightning, and writhed
up and down like some great serpent bent
on escaping capture. The end had been
attached to a street-car, but the rope
which held it broke in a flash when the
2500-pound cable went into the river. Last
week the company laid two copper cables.
In time all the cables that now are
stretched across the Morrison bridge will
have to be removed, and will probably be
placed on the Burnslde bridge.
Exhibit of Fine Engravings. A loan
exhibit of original wood cuts and engrav
ings of the drawings of Albrecht Durer

CHINAMAN HITS BACK.
MlelIevoti Boy WIiokc Fun Sud
denly Changes to Grief.
He was a weazen-faced, inoffensive
Chinaman, and as he strolled along by
the depot yesterday afternoon with his
weekly delivery of washing in a huge bas
ket on his shoulder, he wasn't interfering
with any one. But the natural spirit of.
mischief in a bo3 that seems to be un
duly aroused by the mere sight of a Celes
tial, asks for nothing but an opportunity
to vent itself. The stored-up supply of
two lads vented itself upon this particular
Chinaman with dire and unexpected re
suits to the boys; also with amusing con
sequences to the Chinaman.
As the Celestial moved along, resem
bling a delivery cart on legs, the lads,
who were evidently of the profession of
shoe-shiners, spied him.
"Git on t'er de Chink." whispered one
lad. "Wouldn't dat make yer want'er
play football? Say, Chlmmle, le's give 'im
de center rush." .
The poor Celestial, with his head hidden
under the basket of clothes, was oblivious
to the plot against his equilibrium.
The suggestion to Chlmmle was no soon
er made than put into operation. Doub
ling up like jack-knives, the lads put their
shoulders together, made a rush and land
ed amidships of the Chinaman s anatomy.
Then the atmosphere vibrated with Chi
nese lingo, and a decidedly animated mov
ing picture, in which blue pantaloons, legs.
arms, fancy linen and other articles of
wearing apparel were sadly mixed, was
presented to the passers-by.
An eloquent flow of Chinese oratory
probably of the cuss-word variety Issued
from the pile of clothing, then the Celes
tial emerged from the wreckage, shaking
his clenched fists at the lads, who were
standing near by, going through an attack
of convulsive laughter.
"W'aso malla, you kid?" howled the
Chinaman in anger. "Me makee you laf-
fee. Me lickee you d quick
"Aw, g'won wit yer. Ching-Chlng Chi
naman, eat dead rats," retorted the lads
in laughing derision.
"Mellica boy damn, me showee you hit
tee Chinaman!" yelled the discomfited
Celestial, as he rushed at the causes of
his aerial circus stunts. Before the lads
could dodge the yellow man In blue pa
jamas he handed the larger one a set of
knuckles in tho region of the digestive
apparatus that made him fold up with
pain as if he had had a sudden attack of
appendicitis. His suffering found appar
ent relief In a flow of words that he never
learned at Sunday school. The Imprint
of a Chinese palm was left on the cheek
of the second lad, and his pistol pocket
came In contact with the pavement with a
dun thud.
The Irate Chinaman was about to deal
out another round of antidote for mall-
clous mischief when the lads spied a "cop"
perammiiaung toward them. They promut
ly made themselves conspicuous by their
absence. The Celestial gathered together
his scattered washing, and, shouldering his
basket, snuined back towards Chinatown.

Mellica boys."

Henry C. de Miller's bright, three-act
character comedy 'drama, "The Lost
Paradise," which was seen here during
Ralph Stuart's engagement in 1502, was
the attraction yesterday afternoon and
evening at Baker's Theater, and the
"standing room only" sign decorated the
front door on both occasions The Nelll
Morosco Company has reason to feel
proud of its clever portrayal of this wel
come offering, after only two days' re
hearsal, and there were a number of cur
tain recalls. On account of the tempo
rary illness of Charles Wyngate, who Is
suffering from the "effects! of a bad cold.
Frank Mac Vicars became responsible for
the character of Reuben Warner, super
intendent of Knowlton's iron works, near
Boston, Mass. The part fitted him like
a glove, and, curiously enough, In playing
the part of an Iron and steel magnate, Mr.
MacVIcars' make-up Is very much like
that of Charles M. Schwab, of Pittsburg,
formerly president of the United States
Steel Corporation.
"The Lost Paradise." contrary to
rumor, differs from Milton's "Paradise
Lost." It deals with the problem of cap-,
ital and labor and the troubles incident
to a strike at Knowlton's iron works.
The stage setting Is clever and realistic,
due to the fine taste of Stage Manager
Duffield. The motif in the drama is the
Invention of a patent motor, really the
work of Reuben Warner, butwhlch has
been stolen by the proprietor of the Iron
works, Andrew Knowlton (H. S. Duffield).
Delia Buckley made her debut in a
speaking part, that of Nell, and gave a
dainty, refined, yet strong portrayal. She
played the part of a cripple who has se
cretly fallen in love with Reuben Warner,
and her work Is so good that she ought
to play regularly with the company. The
main comedy character In the play is
that of Cinders, portrayed by Adora An
drews, and the part is one of vast possi
bilities. Miss Andrews is in a "part not
suited to her style of acting, and it ought
to have been given to an ingenue.
Joseph Dailey is splendid as Billy Hop
kins, and Frederick Summer and Elsie
Esmond havo parts just suited to them.
Lillian Kemble, as Margaret Knowlton,
pleased her audience with her finished,
artistic work. It would be an Improve
ment If Mr. Oberle wore a mustache. Wil
fred Rogers and A. C. Winn have strong
parts, and shared in the general approval.
"The Lost Paradise" Is worth seeing, and
will be at Baker's all this week.

Niagara's rushing waters and the ter
rific roar- of the falls. Lake Chautauqua,
an Indian village and the Pan-American
Exposition were all skillfully depicted last
night at Cordray's Theater in a success
ful presentation for the first time In
this city of Joseph LeBrandt's scenic
melodrama in four acts, "Over Niagara
Falls." It is just the play to stir an au
dience in a popular-priced theater, and
thrilling excitement ran high, especially
when Mademoiselle Madeline (Virginia
Goodwin) encased In a barrel, was dashed
over Niagara Falls and rescued by Bert
Bartlett (Robert Bruce) who afterwards
turns out "to be her long-lost son. The
scenic effects are really grand, and those
who have visited the real Niagara Falls
will appreciate the picture all the more.
"Over Niagara Falls" is one of the suc
cessful scenic spectacular productions of
the day. and- Is a money maker. It is now
being played by three companies. Com
pany A Is playing at Buffalo, N..Y., B at
Philadelphia, Pa., and C is playing at
Cordray's Theater.
Before the curtain was lifted last night,
the theater was crowded In every part,
and Maurice Barrymore -Smith had the
pleasure of hanging out the magic sign
that denotes standing room only condi
tions.' The two villains In the play, Asa
Phillips (Wlllard Dashlell) and his son
Dick (George Perlolat) revel in deeds of
the deepest dye. Including murder, and
they succeeded so well that they earned
the cordial hatred and hisses of the gal
lery. Twenty years before the story opens,
the elder Phillips had wronged Madamol
selle Madeline, and to hide his miscon
duct he tried to murder her but she es
caped through the good offices of Star
light, an Indian chief (Louis Walnwrlght).
The women again crosses Phillips path,
with the result that he throws her. In a
barrel, over Niagara Falls. Dick Phillips
Is killed, and in the fourth act his father
meets death in a fierce duel with bowle
knives, with Starlight. The comedy end
Is attended to by Malda Wensley, George
Gale and others. "Over Niagara Falls"
will be at Cordray's for one week.
INSTITUTE AT LONDON.
Agricultural ColIeRe Professor Ad
dress Attendants at Fair.
LONDON, Lane County, Or.. Oct. 10.
(Special.) This Interesting little burg is
located very nearly at the base of the
northern slope of the California Moun
tains in the rich valley of the Coast Fork
of the Willamette River. Here Is located
the Oregon mineral springs, the waters
of which are becoming famous for their
health-giving virtues. The village is
pleasantly located and has a good gener
al merchandise store, a commodious
bathhouse and a large, comfortably
eaulDDed hotel
For the past two years an annual fair'
has been held and this festival Is now
In . progress. Unfortunately the bad
weather has seriously handicapped the
fair this season. There Is, however.
goodiy exhibit or vegetables, fruits, fancy
yfQ etc, as well as some good horses,
cattle and swine.
The vegetables are very large and of
uniformly good quality, as apparently
the rich valleys of Oregon can only pro
duce. To illustrate the luxuriance of the
vegetation of this valley a sunflower Is
on exhlblUon that can boast of a stalk
nearly ten feet long, almost large enough
for cordwood and a head which seems to
carry about a half j. peck of seed.
A new feature was added to the fair
this season In the form of a farmers' ln-
6titute. The management extended an In
vitation to the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege to send representatives to discuss
scientific agriculture, and In response to
this request Dr. WIthycombe, Professors
KInsely and Kent were sent. The farm
ers cordially greeted the professors and
showed their appreciation of their com
ing by turning out in mass.
Dr. WIthycombe opened the institute
with a stirring address on general agri
culture. He frankly stated at the out
set that he saw much to commend and
a great deal to criticise In the methods of
farming practiced In this beautiful little
valley, and declared that if the merchant
and manufacturer were to give as little
thought to the details of their occupation
as the average farmer did to his vocation
they would be bankrupted In a very short
time. The 'doctor said that this valley
was worthy of better things and empha
sized on the value of thought on the
farms, also that science and practice
must be combined for best results. He
advleed the farmers to grow more clover,
vetch and alfalfa and to feed It to a bet
ter grade of stock than what he saw on
the way. The doctor referred to a large
field of Summer fallow In the valley and
said the farmer was evidenUy laboring
under the delusion that he was resting
his land, when in fact he was blindly fol
lowing a most wasteful policy.
He declared that the field was excel
lent clover land, and that instead of the
bare fallow three to four tons of clover
hay to the acre might have been pro
duced, worth at present $S per ton, or
about $30 per acre, either In the market
or. for cow feed, and that the land would
be left In much better condition for wheat
than by the bare fallow. It was shown
that such systems of farming would ma
terially increase the revenues of the
farm. The farmer was also told that
money-making should not be the only
object of his endeavors, but that a lib
eral proportion of his Income ought to
be Expended In beautifying the home and
making it more attractive to the boys
and girls of the farm. In conclusion the
speaker paid a glowing tribute to the
modern farm as being an Ideal home and
said that wise Indeed Is the young man
who sticks to the farm and practices up-to-date
methods of husbanding. The ad
dress was well received and the speaker
was given a hearty applause at its con
clusion. Professor KInsely in a very entertaining
and pleasing manner addressed the Insti
tute on the conservation of plant food on
the farm. The professor showed con
vincingly how great wastes occurred on
the farm In this respect. He explained
how losses of valuable plant food result
ed from burning the straw; also referred
to the Indifference of the general farmer
as to the care of barnyard manure. He
showed wherein Immense losses resulted
from this neglect. The' speaker stated
that the plant food In the liquid and solid
excreta of a cow for one year Is worth
nearly J00. of the horse J25. sheep $2 and
the hog 53. Thus conclusively showing
the great value of livestock in maintain
ing the fertility of the farm. He said,
however, that a great deal of this valu
able plant food Is wasted on account of
faulty methods and suggested means
whereby these losses may be obviated.
Professor Kent gave a practical dem
onstration In the use of the Babcock
tester. This was thoroughly appreciated
and enjoyed by the audience. The pro
fessor In a very lucid manner explained
all the details of the test and emphasized
the Importance of its- lise In weeding out
unprofitable cows in the herd.
The evening session . was devoted to

BANDIT ARRIVES TODAY.
Hoehn, Allan Morgan, Accused of
Holding: Up O. R. & X. Train.
Charged with being one of the bandit
gang which held up the O. R. &. N. train
at Corbett's. Charles Hoehn will arrive In
Portland this morning in care of Sheriff
Storey. Hoehn. who has been going by
the name of Charles Morgan, was arrest
ed at Bow, near Whatcom, Wash., by
Sheriff Risbell, of Skagit County,
Thursday.
Hoehn was supposed to be the nephew
of Bill Morgan, popularly named as the
leader of the train robbers. A coat, spot
ted with what Is believed to be the blood
of Gay Harshman, now In the Good
Samaritan Hospital, was found in the
house of the elder Morgan's sister. Later
reports say that Charles Hoehn is not the
nephew of Bill Morgan, nor Is Morgan tho
true name of the elder man.
While search is being made for the older
man, whose real name is unknown, Sher
iff Storey is on his way to Portland with
the young man believed to have been one
of the bandit gang. Harshman, It Is said,
gave the names of the entire gang to
Sheriff Storey when, a few days ago, he
believed himself dying from Ihe wound in
flicted by Express Messenger Korner.
Sheriff Storey telegraphed The Oregonian
yesterday that he would arrive with
Hoehn this morning.
PURCHASES OF CONSOLS.
Low Price Attracts Attention of
London Speculators.
LONDON, Oct. 11. The Influx of small
investors in consols and home rails last
week failed to neutralize the depressing
Influences which prevailed in the American
and Kaffir departments of the stock mar
ket. The depression in the former case
was owing to the reduced steel corpora
tion dividend and the revelations regard
ing the United 'States Shipbuilding Com
pany, and In the second case to the trou
bles at Amsterdam and the reports that
the Scotch banks were squeezing borrow
ers who were speculating in other lines.
The small purchases In consols at the
existing low prices were so numerous as
to make quite a record week In the num
ber of transfers, but In the other mar
kets business was on the smallest scale
and tne prospects are far from, rosy, the
Russo-Japanese war being added to other
disturbing features.

DRUGGISTS MUST RE CHARY.
They Sell nil Kinds ofllnlr Prepara
tion, and Fear to Discriminate.
Druggists sell all kinds of hair prepara
tions and as a rule they are wisely chary
of giving preference to any particular
one. but many of them have come out
plainly for Newbro's Herpicide, the new
treatment that absolutely kills the dan
druff germ. H. Swannell & Son, Cham
paign. 111., say: "One customer of oura
who did not have a hair on top of his
head when he began to use Herpicide now
has a fair start toward a good head of
hair. We believe Herpicide to be by far
the best preparation, of Its kind on tho
market." Hundreds of similar testimo
nials from everywhere. Sold by leading
druggists. Send 10 cents in stamps for
sample to The Herpicide Co.. Detroit,

SAPOLIO

Summer season, when outdoor oo

GRASS STAINS, MUD STAINS

yield to it, and it is particularly
agreeable when used in the bath
after violent exercise.
