Ills land, and that he will sell the prop erty at that price. -, "The assessment means confiscation said Mr. Hislop Just before he entered the grand jury room. "This is what hap pened. From block 87 of my Union-avenue property 747 yards of dirt were taken out; from block 93, 545 yards; block 95, 522 yards. The dirt was shifted to make a fill of 122 yards, leaving, in round num bers, 2516 yards of dirt unaccounted 'lor. A great 'part 'of this dirt was used to make a fill. Captain R. S.

Mr. Hislop says he complains at whom soever is to blame, and as a whole thinks the city government is responsible.

He states that he submitted the case the following day after Judge Frazer's remarks upon the subject were made, with a list of all witnesses. WIFE TELLS OF MANY WOES. Mrs. R.

The Presbytery of Portland held an ad journed meeting at the First Church yes terday afternoon at which the case of Rev. F. H. Mlxsell and th Oregon City Church -was again brought up. The Presbytery some time ago ordered Mr. Mlxsell to leave the church, and also that the old session, or board of elders, be dismissed .and a new session be elected by the congregation. This was done, and the nrst action or the new board was to send In a call for the return of Mr. Mix- sell. -The. action of the Presbyter' yes terday settles the case for" all time to come, and Mr. -Mlxsell will not go back to Oregon City under any circumstances after Its ultimatum. The answer of the Presbytery to the call of the new session is: "The call Is hereby returned to the First Church of Oregon City with the assur ance that the Presbytery will entertain no call from that church for the pastoral services of Mr. Mlxsell, under existing circumstances."

The convention of the State Dairy Asso ciation, to be held in Portland December 20, will discuss what measures will be rec ommended to the Legislature In behalf of dairying Interests. Dairymen desire the Legislature to put "process" or renovated butter under regulations similar to those under which oleomargarine is sold. Wherever oleomargarine Is vended a record must be kept of each sale, and res taurants which serve It to their custom ers must announce the fact by a con spicuous sign. The result of these regu lations is that little or no oleo comes into Oregon. A law will also be asked for to prohibit the sale of California butter un der Oregon wrappers. The Dairymen's Association will be asked to lend Its sanction to a plan to In duce the Legislature to appropriate $5000 or $7000 for Farmers' Institutes through out the state, the money to be disbursed by a state board, composed probably of the Governor, the Secretary of State and the State Treasurer.

SHOCK TO HER MIND Divorce Decree a Blow to Mrs, . Helen C. Jennings. NOW IN SANITARIUM INSANE Father Finds Her Penniless and a ' Mental Wreck in Seattle, Where She' Had Gone to Seek Rest and 'a Change of Scene. Helen Cynthia Jennings Is an inmate of the sanitarium at .Mount Tabor, and Is said to be hopelessly Insane. This Is the sad sequel to the divorce of Mrs. Jen nings upon the complaint of her husband, Orvillg Jennings, and the suit of Jennings against John S. Seed, a prominent con tractor, for damages for alienating the affections of his wife. The divorce ,was granted to Jennings' on the ground of Infidelity, and he was awarded $5000 damages against Seed for breaking up his home. Seed appeared in the divorce suit as a witness in behalf of Mrs. Jennings, but did not make any de fense to- the- damage suit. -Mrs. Jennings contested tho divorce suit, and endeavored to make It appear that she was. more sinned against than sinning. The trial was sensational in character, and Judge Frazer was com pelled to render a decree against her. The court also awarded the custody of the child, a boy 10 vears old. to the father. and 'took from Mrs. Jennings two houses and lots In the NobHUl district, which her husband had previously deeded to her. Jennings Is. an engineer on tho. Southern Pacific line; has been thrifty and is worth at least $20,000. Mrs. Jennings is a large, handsome woman, but the shock of the trial with its compromising disclosures nex'crtheless told upon her nervous system. After tho case was over she told her father. Cap tain Gore, that she desired to go to Seattle for a change of scene and to rest, and money was supplied to her for that purpose. It is reported that on the train she lost her reason, threw money out of the car window and rent her Clothing. Captain Gore was communicated with by telegraph and proceeding to Seattle found his daughter In sad distress, without means and a mental wreck. He returned with her at once to Portland and placed her In the Sanitarium for medical treat ment. When she recovers, it is said he will take her - to his country home at Tualatin. The wife of John S. Seed was divorced from him several years ago. and as he Is now free to remarry, Judge Frazer, in rendering his decree divorcing Jennings from Mrs. Jennings, said that Seed, who had broken up two homes, his own and that of Mr. Jennings, ought to maKe what amends he could hy marrying Mrs. Jen nings. Later the Judgment in the dam age suit against Seed and in favor of Jen nings for $5000 was given. J. E. Bronaugh, attorney for Jennings, attached property In Caruther's Addition, supposed to belong to Seed In an attempt to collect the judgment. Seed s son came forward and asserted ownership to the property. Jennings has abandoned ef forts to realize on the judgment and it is said will not press It at alL Friends of Mrs. Jennings have been heard to remark that she has not been in her. right mind for two years. Mrs. Jen hlngS'had, a beautiful home and was com fortaoly provided for by her husband. Plan for Stanford Reunion. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec. 6. (Special.) The Stanford Alumnus, which hash Just been received, contains an ac count of a great decennial reunion which Is to be held on the university campus during commencement week of May.. 1905. A committee of 14 men and nine women has been named to make arrangements. They are scattered everywhere from To klo to New York, and each class which has been graduated since the founding of the university Is represented by at least one member. Meetings of members of the committee aro not practicable, and Christmas Shoppers Out in Force Juvenile Admirers Pour Secrets Into Santa Clans' E ar Retail Dis tricts Crowded With Throngs of Purchasers. SANTA CLAUS had a busy session yesterday, and hundreds of little children visited him at a big depart ment store to whisper their wants In his ear and deliver their letters. No postman in Portland has so large a bundle of mall as he, and no one not even the women know as many secrets as this same old Kris Krln gle. "I want a type writer, 'n a alrgun. n a train of cars, please," bravely asued a iaa oi auout eight Chrlstmases. ' "And I want a can n on this big!" shouted the next fu ture citizen. "A buggy to put my dolly In, and lots of pretty things like all these," shyly In Santa's Bar. whispered a little miss of 4 as she indi cated the carload of toys around her. But the little sister wouldn't tell out loud, so Santa Claus had to bend over, in spite of his rotund figure, while she poured her desires and wishes Into his ear. The shops were all thronged yesterday and there was un unmistakable air of Christmas about the whole shopping dis trict. Bunches of school girls appeared after school hours and spent an hour or two "pricing things" and "decldln' what to get." The wise ones aro all getting their Christmas gifts now, so not to be compelled to worry with the great crowd which congregates during the few days previous to the 23th. The goods arc all fresh now and the clerks are not tired and worn out, as they will be In a few weeks. Tho departments which handlo supplies for fancy work are doing a bet ter buslnes than at any other season of the year, and toys, books and pictures are in great demand. A swell-looking chap sauntered into a down-town store Monday and tried his best to look perfectly at home In the big crowd. He found himself in the eleva tor with about B0 women before bo re alized what had hap pened to him, but he determined to. brave it out and bluff them into thinking he was an experienced shop per. Stepping out of the cage, he stopped at the first counter and asked the young lady in charge to show him something nice for a lady's present, adding: "Nothing oheap, you know somet h 1 n g real swell." The Wrong Counter. He thought she gave him rather a sharp, glance, but ho had the corner of his cYe on a pretty girl standing across the aisle trying on a hat. ft 7 It ll'MIJ all plans and ideas will have to be worked up with the Alumnus as a means of publicity. O. C. Letter, with The Ore- gonlan, Portland, Or., has been ap pointed to represent the class of '99. With the great number of Stanford alumni settled there and the large num ber of active undergraduates registered. from there. It Is expected that Portland will take a leading part In promoting this enterprise. THEATRICAL MAGNATES COMING Four Members of Klaw L Erllnger Syndkte to Visit the Fair.

Marc Klaw, Abraham Erlanger, Al Hayman and Joe Brooks. They will leave New York about May 1 In Klaw & Erlanger's pri vate car, "Broadway," and will spend a week or ten days here.

It is the custom of the magnates to make an an nual Summer trip to Europe, but next year they will come to the Fair instead. Hayman at one time managed a theater in Portland, but he has not been here for many years. The trust magnates will make a leisurely tour, taking occasion to inspect theatrical conditions on the way out and to meet the railway traffic man agers In the hope of securing better the atrical rates on the Norlttwest'Mlnes. While in this city they will be entertalriedJ by Calvin S. Helllg, president of the 'Northwest Theatrical Association, and at the conclusion of their visit here they will go to Seattle for a few days, where they will be entertained by John Cort. .As a result of the visit of these big bosses of the theatrical field it is believed that "Ben Hur," "Beauty and the Beast," "Humpty-Dumpty" and a number of oth er great Klaw & Erlanger spectacles will be seen here during the latter weeks of the Fair. WIN HIGH HONORS. Portland Photographers Are Recog nized In New York. . The amateur photographers of Portland are feeling that they have established a reputation throughout the country well worth being proud of by the acceptance of four prints out of those sent from here to the American Federation of Photographic Societies, which Is this week holding a National salon In New York. An account of this Federation was published In The Oregonian at the time this city was ad mitted as one of the 12 in America com posing It. While there will be pictured exhibits from Europe and other countries, only 12 cities In this country are repre sented, and each of them must be over 100,000 Inhabitants. After the close of the salon In New York the collection of ac cepted pictures will be exhibited In these cities referred to, reaching Portland some time next April. The matp object of this salon Is to place photography on the basis of other art, and the 20 judges were composed of well known artists, none of whom are pho tographers. Out of 7000 prints submitted 400 were accepted, and four of these were from this city. The pictures were judged solely from, their artistic merits, and It is said that those which were not accepted would make a more creditable exhibit than any which has been shown In Amer ica heretofore. Out of about 14 prints which were sub mitted by the amateur -photographers of Pprtland, Miss Bertha Breyman had one landscape accepted O. M. Ash two ma rines and George Fi Holman a landscape. All of the accepted' pictures were done In carbon. Tho successful ones, and In fact all those Interested In photographic art. feel highly elated over this success, for the salon is open to professionals as well as amateurs, and only the best work Is accepted. Weli-Known New York Lawyer. NEW YORK, Dec 6. William Blat kle, aged 61, well-known lawyer, au thor and advocate of physical culture, was stricken with apoplexy today, and died before a physician could be sum moned. and did not- notice just what she was do ing until she said: "Now. this Is the latest model In the Royal Booster brand you know they are wearing the high fronts again." "Goodness gracious, madam! . I didn't ask to see corsets!" he gasped In his em barassmcnt, as ho saw a gorgeous pink corset spread before him and the pretty girl who was trying on the hat tittering, too. "But this Is the corset counter, you know," the saleswoman explained. "I supposed you knew that when you stopped here " But he had disappeared, and one df the floorwalkers, who saw him doden around the corner and plump into the ladles' suit department, said he looked like a cayuse aoaging tne rope. An Incident quite as funny happened at anotner emporium yesterday when a small boy entered the picture department to purchase a pic ture for his aunt as a Christmas gift. He d e 1 1 b e rated long about it, but finally selected a prettily colored affair on the Christie order, repre senting a handsome man and a stunnlng looking woman wrapped In a warm embrace, and In the act of kissing. The title was, "They've been married four years but not to each other." From the appearance of his money-J-all In nickels, dimes and pennies, he had-been An Unapp rop rlato Gift to Auntla. saving a long time to nurehasft thlx present, and he looked very happy and satisfied as he trudged away with the big picture under his arm. "Didn't he say It was for his aunt?" In quired a customer of the girl who sold me picture. wen, tnat's perfectly rich! I know his aunt, and she's divorced just because she wasn't married to the one she kissed, too Wonder how that little reminder will strike her?"

Jane Corcoran and Andrew Robson to Present Picturesque Drama. Tonight at the Marquam Grand The ater Portland theater-gbers will be given one of the best offerings of the present theatrical season when the charming- actress.

The play is a histori cal romance by Frances Aymar Math ews, and Is founded In the 18th cen tury. Miss Corcoran will appear as "Peg Wofflngton" and Mr.. Robson as 'David Garrick." Much- more than ordinary Importance attaches to this announcement on account o the rec ognized superiority 6t the attraction. The complete original production Is promised here in its entirety, add it will probably be the largest that will be presented this season. Andrew Robson Is of "The Royal Box" and "Richard Carvel" fame. The cast con tains many other familiar names. Last performance tomorrow night. Dickson's Great Play at the Columbia. Most people like sentiment. All people like beautiful pictorial dls- play. All people like the spectacular, but there may be exceptions to-all these rules; however, there Is not a single person who does not like to laugh honestly and heart ily once In a while. If you go to the Columbia Theater and witness a perform ance of the present play that Is running there, namely, "Mistakes Will Happen," you will have a good, honest, hearty ladgh. It tells the story about an actor (Mr, Baumc) and his wife (Miss Countlss) get ting married; this breaks tho rules of a stock organization and they are dis charged therefor. The actor has written a piay and he and his wife are very much In love, but beldg out of work, they are very hard pressed for money, and she tried to find an "angel" to put on his play. He also Is at the same time ap proached by a lady of means who Is "stage" struck and who wants to get In struction In acting. The actor arid the "stage"-struck lady, by appointment, meet In the luxurious stable of the lady's husband, and the lady's husband and the actor's wife also meet by appointment In the same stable to hear the actor's play read. Of course neither, couple wants the other couple to know they are there, and a series of most ludicrous situations arise as the couples chase each other up and down from tho coach-house to the loft. A third couple, th stableboy and his sweetheart, also meet In the stable. rand Mr. Baume, Miss Countlss, Mr. Dills and Miss Allen, Mr. Bloomquest and Miss Brandt form a sextet of sprightly and en tertaining farce comedians. This is Charles Dickson's great success which has amused millions of people and which will run all week at the Columbia, Including Saturday afternoon and even ing. Bargain Matinee at Empire. There will be a bargain matinee at tho Empire Theater Saturday of this week, when ladles and school children will have an opportunity of seeing "Darkest Rus sia" at a low rate of admission. An ex cellent company Is presenting this great play all this week. For a number of years thero ha3 not been seen a play which com bines such a number of successful fea tures as "Darkest Russia." It Is In geniously constructed. Its theme thrilling and story most absorbing. It Is staged with lavlshness, and to the smallest de tail Is mounted accurately and correctly. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Everyman" 8eats Selling. This morning at 10 o'clock the advance sale of seats will open for the famous Ben Greet players, of London, who come, to the Marquam Grand Theater next Fri day afternoon, Saturday afternoon and Saturday night, December s and 10, In the great morality play of the fifteenth cen tury. "Everyman." To the more scepti cal It seems remarkable that a drama of the seriousness and religious fervor of "Everyman" should attract profitable audiences, but the appeal of the drama Is so strong to all classes of the com munity that the presentation of "Every man has been successful as a venture, as well as from the artistic standpoint. The entire clergy of the city have been invited to witness this great play. Florence Roberts' Return. Florence Roberts will surprise her ad-' mlrers at tho Marquam Grand next week when sho presents the Anthony Hope comedy. "The Adventure of Lady Ursula." For an actress who achieves so mucn with Tess and Zaza It Is amazing to see so much comedy ability as' she puts Into the role of Lady Ursula.. She seems to enjoy it more than any part she plays and enters into, the spirit of It with her. whole soul. "Lady Ursula" Is distinctly romantic and has a better and more In teresting story than the usual run of comedies. It Is picturesque, affords op portunity for some handsome gowns, and above all Is pure and sweet in theme and expression. The humor Is rich and spontaneous and the audience is. kept laughing from start to finish. The play was one of- the greatest successes of the Lyceum Theater In New York City and ran nearly a year with E. H. Sothem and Virginia Harned in the cast. AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS Lyric Stands Them Up. In spite of the fact that Sunday was the biggest day In the history of the Lyric, the attendance Monday and yesterday broke all records.

In violation of the respect of their wives and children. "What Is their defense, so eloquently stated? They say that because some men have stolen lands why punish these defendants? They talk of the great expense of the Government and of its unlimited waste of money in this trlaL I do not know how much Judge O'Day will get out of it, and I do not think that he Is working here for noth ing, but I do know that every dollar I get out of It will be honest money while every dollar of Government money O'Day gets will be the ill-gotten galn3 of those thieves there. "And another thing. They talk of D. Loomls, of Honest Old Cap Ormsby, familiarly known as 'Cap to his friends such as Judge O'Day, Puter and Mc Klnley. Did ybu see Loomls around the steps of the Courthouse the first day of the trial? Did you see Old Cap hob nobbing with the defendants here In the courtroom? -Do you see him now or why they did not put him on the witness stand? Witnesses Are Defended. "They say that Heldecke was a liar and a Villain, but I say that theold woodsman told the truth, for hi3 tes timony was .corroborated In every ma terial particular. And I am sorry to say that the evidence in this case tends very strongly to show that Judge O'Day did not tell the truth on the witness sand. O'Day says that Heldecke Is a dangerous man, a most dangerous man, but I say that tho most dangerous man Is the lawyer who will try to shield crime or will advise people to commit crime. "I would like to see all lawyers who would advise and shield crime disbar red. I would like to have It to say that a lawyer Is an honest man. I would like to do away with the old saying" that all lawyers are liars and all liars are crooked. "They attack R. B. Montague and de pict him as a most loathsome being. They ask you If you would want your daughter to marry a man such as he. I ask you. do you want, does any hon est, any self-respecting' man, want to see his daughter marry such an aban doned, reckless criminal a3 Tarpley, or Puter, or McKlnley? Montague has at least repented of his crime. He has some shame left. But do you see any shame, any repentance in those bold, abandoned faces?" The speaker now commenced the recital of the story of the conspiracy and carried each character through from the first day to the time of the indictment. He arralmea each of the defendants most mercilessly and show ed the proof that each was a member of the combination to defraud the Gov ernment.

"Let me say of Mr. Hitchcock," he said, "that ho needs no Indorsement at my hands. He has done his duty In this matter, and these cases mean that the Government 13 In earnest. I want to say that if Judge O'Day will furnish me with any evidence against any of these great railroads and other cor porations that have got these public lands Illegally I will promise him Im munity if his knowledge is a guilty knowledge, and if not he needs no im munity.

It purifies and enriches the blood, tones up the stomach and adds new life and vigor to falling health and strength. I cannot recom mend It too highly."
