Thej Laiicest Cahp ok JLecord. The
theory that flsh transplaiited from the
streams of the East to the broad -waters
of the Columbia grow and expand to a
magnitude th'ey never attain In the East,
Is likely to be proved correct. Mention
was made a few days ago of a black
fcass caught in Columbia Slough "which
was 21 Inches In length . and weighed
6even pounds. This, -old bass fishermen
say, Is larger than any ever caught in
the East. Now comes the largest carp
on record. It was caught off the "wharf
at the foot of Alder street yesterday, and
weighed 27 pounds. Two boys were seen
toting It np the street on a stick, to
which It was attached in the usual man
ner, by a string made fast to the big
spine on the back fin. They -were offering
it for sale to all they met, and seyeraJ
Chinese and a market man who had no
use for it except as a show, "were bid
ding for it The price "was run up to 40
cents, which was bid by a Chinaman, and
as no effort could secure another 5 cents;
it was knocked down to him. Duck hunt
ers and fishermen all despise the carp,
and say that the black bass- "will soon
thin- them out, but as they are very pro
ductive, this remains to be seen. A white
wash man who happened along when this
big carp was sold, remarked that they
were not so bad eating as many suppose.
He said he had his brains near
ly knocked out by one a week
ago, and had a chunk of it for
his dinner. He was whitewashing a barn
lor a farmer down near Holbrook, -when
a. blue crane came flying over with a carp
in its bill on Its way to its nest to feed
its young. A boy took a crack at the
bird with a toy igun, and It dropped the
carp, striking 4he whltewasher on the side
of the head and knocking the bucket of
"wash out of his hand. He said he was
mighty glad the fish ld not weigh 27
pounds, or ho "would have been done for.
Bleep 'Fuexs Before a Howuko Dog.
Mention was made yesterday of a number
of sleep-destroying nuisances of which
there Is much complaint. The worst of
the kind, worse even than the bandsman
x who practices on the cornet, came to light
yesterday morning and Is a genuine case
of cruelty to animals, but human and ca
nine, and has so destroyed the slumbers
of a neighborhood as to affect their health
and call for the action of the Health De
partment. It appears that the owner of a
ferocious "bulldog and his wife as well
have been stricken with fever and are In a
hospital. Their residence, at the end of
Third street on Marquam Gulch, is vacant
and the bulldog has been left chained on
the premises and Is not provided with
sufficient food or water. A relative of the
dog's owner calls to see him occasionally,
but the brute Is nearly starved and howls
day and night. The residents on both sides
of the gulch have made formal complaint
and yesterday morning Health Inspector
Beutelspacher went out to investigate the
case. He was sorry he had not taken his
fumigating medicine along so that he
could have asphyxiated the dog and put
'an end to the troubles of the dog and the
neighbors, "but he caught the relative there
and gave him a piece of his mind and
ordered the dog removed. Few appear to
know that a howling dog is a health-destroying
nuisance under the ban of the
law or more such, pests would be removed.
The dogcatcher will begin his rounds in a
day or two and the disappearance of the
army of- vagrant, homeless and un
licensed dogs which are a curse to the city
may be lujped" for in the near future.

Bear Oct -or Omen "There is no rest
for the wicked," said W. B. Chase, ex
Clty Engineer, yesterday. After two
months of .steady work in the field he is
making a short stay In Portland and en
joying seeing old friends. "I have been
kept on the go steadily ever since I was
out of office," said he, "and have not
even had time to inquire Into the political
situation. First I went over to South
Bend, "Wash., and surveyed and located a
district sewer for that town, which Is
making rapid strides of progress. Then I
went up In the Molalla country and as
chief engineer of the Electric Ldght z
Power Company surveyed a canal line
from a point on the Molalla River eIx
miles from the mouth through a rich agri
cultural region to the Willamette River.
The canal has a fall of about 100 feet in
the six miles and an electrical power sta
tion is to be located on it near New Era.
Next r went up to Bend, on the Des
chutes River, and made preliminary sur
veys and computations of the cost of
works for supplying that town with a
system of waterworks." Mr. Chaso also
has charge, of the proposed Tillamook
waterworks, and has made surveys and
prepared estimates of the cost of the
system.
-- Improve Streets, Then Lat 'Pipes.
The property-owners on Sherman street
west of Second street have lately gone to
the extreme of having that .thoroughfare
resurfaced and put in good order, This
work has been completed only a short
time and now a gang of pipe-layers In the
employ of the gas company has put In an
appearance and has dug a trench along
the north side of the. street between
Third and Fourth, and is laying a small
gas pipe in it Of course the material
cannot be replaced in the trench so as to
make the streetrlook as It did before it
was torn up and there will be a depression
there and the large pieces of crushed rock
will be on the surface and the benefit of
the Improvements made by the property
owners will be nullified. Some of them
wonder why the gas pipes could not have
been laid before the street was surfaced,
but are told that this Is one of the things
which no one can find out and that this
style of doing things Is the usual one here.
If property-owners are anxious to get
gas or water pipes laid In a .street or a
sewer constructed therev they will find
that the quickest way to secure these im
provements Is to make a costly improve
ment on the street. It rarely falls.
Visit op Rear -Admiral Rab. Rear
Admiral Charles M. Rae, chief of the Bu
reau of Steam Engineering in the United
States Navy, accompanied by Mrs. Rae,
was at the Hotel Portland for dinner last
night, en route from Seattle to San Fran
cisco, where he will inspect the Mare
Island Navy-yard near that city. 'He
stated that he knew nothing of a proposal
for another dock at Puget Sound. He
added that after the Lake "Washington
Canal is constructed, if warships are sent
there to He up In the fresh waters of the
lake, that repair shops might be estab
lished which might in time grow into an
other navy-yard. At the same time, he
said, it Is often necessary 'to send a boat
that has been In fresh water into a dock
where barnacles are removed.

BODY OF BRUGGER FOUND
MISSING HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER
HAD BEEN DROWNED.
While Fording Lewis River, Portland
Instructor Met Death Funeral
Will Be Held Today.
- Just two. weeks and one day after the.
disappearance ofTheophll Brugger. an In
structor of the Portland High School, who
started on horseback from Gresham to
visit a brother near Woodland, Wash., and '
never reached his destination, his bqdy
was discovered in the waters of the Lewis
River by an Indian. The Indian found
the body just about daylight Wednesday
morning, floating near the. bank. It was
easily recognized and was immediately
taken charge of by relatives.
Searching parties had been dragging
the Lewis River and scouring the woods
In every direction In that locality since
the failure of Professor Brugger to reach,
his brothers, home at the appointed time,"
and the return of his horse the following
morning. This naturally led to the xbe
llef that he had been browned, and the
fact that the horse's forefeet were tangled
In his reins. made It seem reasonable to
believe that the animal had pitched for
ward Into a hole in the river bed, thus
entangling himself and tnrowlng his un
fortunate rider Into the current. Pro
fessor Brugger could not swim. He be
gan taking lessons at the Y. M. C. A. last
Winter, but did not persevere until he had
mastered the art, and thLs may have cost
him his life. It is possible, however, that
his head may have been struck In the fall,
rendering him unconscious.
The last person to see Professor Brug
ger was a white man whom he met in the
vicinity of the river on the trail. He stop
ped and asked this man how the ford
across the river was. He was told that
it was Just about as It always was, and
with, this he rode on. The man stood and
watched him until he turned into the
side-trail which led to the ford, and then
resumed his way. A few minutes later
he heard him shouting, but his supposi
tion, and that of his friends, is that he
was shouting for the Iiraian guide who.
lived on the other bank of the river to
come and conduct him across. The In
dian did not come out, so Tie, tried to
cross alone.
Professor Brugger had been on a trip to
Mount Hood before ho started on the
Journey to Woodland. When he reached
Gresham and found the letter from his
brother, asking him to come to Wofedland
for a visit, for some unaccountable reason
he did not want to go. He wanted to
see his brother, but some strange pre
monition seemed to hold him back. He
decided to go, however, and started out
In fairly good spirits, never to return.
The funeral services will bo held at the
First Unitarian Chapel, Seventh and
Yamhill, at 10 o'clock this morning, af
ter which the remains will be taken to
Gresham for Interment.
Mr. Brugger had many friends In Port
land. He was connected with the Bishop
Scott Academy for a -number of years,
and at the time of his death occupied the
chair of physics in the High School. He
had traveled widely and was a man of
unusual culture and refinement.
AMUSEMENTS.
"Captain Lettarblair.''
Pretty stage pictures make the Colum
bia's production of "Captain Lettarblalr"
notable. The cleverness of the lines causes
ripples and roars of laughter. Mr. Dills
has an admirable part as Dean Ambrose,
and this popular comedian is acting at
his best Mr. Baume, as Captain Lettar
blalr, has many fine lines, and his mas
tery of the Irish brogue Is delicious, and
not the exaggerated dialect which so oft
en proves offensive. From the moment
Miss Countiss appears In a. riding habit
in the first act she receives round after
round of applause, and. she acts the part
of the capricious Fanny Hadden with
grace, wearing beautiful gown3 that daz
zle the feminine portion of every audi
ence. The auditorium presents a bril
liant spectacle, the handsome decorations
being particularly attractive under the
soft light of the electric chandeliers.
MacDowell's Greatest Rote.
Sardou's Immortal tragedy, "La Tosca,"
the bill at the Baker this week, Is the
heaviest drama ever presented on the
stage of this popular theater. Melbourne
MacDowell Is cast as Le Baron Scarpla,
the greatest rolo of his career and one
which he created In this country. His
Interpretation of the villainous Baron is
considered perfection itself. No one In
this country has ever attempted to follow
the footsteps of this star In the part It
calls for a polished traitor, a man of
refinement and cruelty, a man who will
assassinate Any one to gain his ends.
Such Is the kind of man that Mr. Mac
Dowell presents, and he plays the diffi
cult role to the very life. Miss Deane,
in the title part Is beyond comparison
with any living actress In the role, un
less it Be Sarah Bernhardt Matinee

The largest and most enthusiastic au

Hi' in popular appreciation. Ever slnco
Mr. Keane started on his two weeks' en
gagement in this city the business at
Cordray's Theater has steadily Increased,
until now Mr. Keane is nightly-playing to
the capacity of the house. The engage

night and those who wish to see his mas

CHEAP FORGER FAILS.
Makes Bungling Attempt to Swindle
an Undertaker.
Talcing advantage of the bereave
ment of one man and the sympathetic
accommodation of another, a bungling
penman attempted to pass a check
forged In favor of John S. Clenaghen,
a machinist of 385 East Ninth street,
whose wifo was to be burled the next
day, upon Coroner J. P. Flnley, who
had the funeral arrangements In charge.
Seven dollars was the big stake
played for. The forgery was committed
by some one familiar with the bereave
ment of Clenaghen and who knew the
undertaker In charge of the- f ftneral.
Had the trick been sprung upon the
undertaker a little more cleverly It
would undoubtedly have been success
ful. A small boy appeared at Mr. Finley's
office Monday evening. He bore anote
signed by John S. Clenaghen, which
asked that a personal check for. $22
upon the First National Bank drawn
by Thomas B. Williams in favor of
Clenaghon and indorsed by him be
cashed, that $17 be placed to Clena
ghen's account and that the balance
$7, be returned by the bearer. "I will
explain when I see you again," was
tho conclusion of the note.
The Coroner , looked at the hand
writing on tho cheeky and on the note.
Then he remembered that when he
studied arithmetic the difference be
tween $22 and $17 was not $7 but $5.
"He had never seen the handwriting of
Mr. Clenaghen, but .the chlrography
before him did not look like the writ
ing of a machinist. He questioned the
small boy. "Are you Mr. Clenaghen's
son"
"No, I sells papers. This man was
In front of a florist's store on Morri
son street, and he sent me up here
with that," and the small boy cast
aside all responsibility.
As the entire transaction still ap
peared shady to the Coroner, although
a florist's would be a -natural "placo
for Clenaghen at the time, he sent the
boy back' without reply or money. No
further request was made..
The next day, Tuesday, Mr. Flnley
told the man who had just buried his
wife that fic still held the check.
"What check?" asked Mr. Clenaghen.
When shown the note and check, he
stated positively that he- had never
before seen tho check or note, and
knew no-Thomas 3. Williams.
Except for the signature of Williams
the writing on both documents is eay
and well-curved, but . with a strong
similarity which the writer had evi
dently tried to overcome by occasion
ally stopping his pen to make an ar
bitrary and unnatural formation.
The namo of Thomas B. Williams
does not appear In the city directory,
and he Is unknown at the First Na
tional Bank.. Three Thomas William
are listed in" the directory, however.
