The rascality of Andrew Johnson came to light in the trial of the suit of the Pio neer Wood Company against Churchley Bros, to recover for 2SS cords of wood. The case was decided In favor of the de fendant. The evidence disclosed that In November, 1903, Johnson made a contract to furnish cordwood to the Pioneer Wood Company, and the company advanced to him $400. In January, 1904. Johnson en tered into a contract with Churchley Bros, to sell them the same wood. Churchley Bro3. advanced $900, and received 350 cords of wood, and paid for more than was de livered to them. The Pioneer Wood Com pany received no wood. Johnson's next move was to come to Portland and to visit the woodyard of Kirk Hoover. He told Mr. Hoover his name was Herman Fred, and that he required 5200 to save a lot of wood from mortgage foreclosure proceed ings. Mr. Hoover Inquired and ascer tained that there was such a man as Her man Fred, living near Adam's .Landing, and that his reputation was good.' Believ ing Johnson to be Fred, he gave him the $300. Johnson at once left here, going to Pennsylvania, leaving his wife and chil dren behind, and Mr. Hoover mourns the loss of his $200. Fears Wife Will 3vl.ll Him.

Lambert has sued the Portland Laundry Company, H. A. Chapman and F. E. Harris to recovcf$3500 on. a note. Sidewalk in Bad Condition. Many persons having business down to the foot of Flanders street, and par ticularly mlslon workers who attend meetings during the evenings at the Seamen's Church and Institute, Front and Flanders streets, are making com plaints regarding the wretched condi tion of the wooden sidewalk on the south side of Flanders, between First and Second streets. This sidewalk is largely made up of decayed planking, Jind one portion .of it yawns into a hole in the wall. The.plank sidewalk on the north side of this block Is in better condition, but the crossing at Second street Is so bad that walking Is diffi cult there after dark. Many of the other streets in the neighborhood have recently been improved and it Is hoped that lower Flanders street will 'be the next on the list. It is likely that a proportion of visitors to the Lewis and Clark Exposition will wish to Investi gate mission work among sailors at the Seamen's Church and Institute, and nearly all the mission meetings are held evenings, so that sailors can attend. i It Is no longer necessary to take bluo bills to rouse the liver to action.
