Midwat Wants Schoolhouse. Midway
people, bet-ween Brooklyn and the Sell--wood
schoolhouses, want the Board of
Education to arrange for the erection of
a schooolhouse next year. C. H. Tabke,
president of the Midway Improvement As
sociation, says a building had been prom
ised that section, but the present shack,
situated in a damp hole in the ground,
still does duty for about 37 pupils. He
calls attention to the neighborhood that
will want school facilities. This Includes
the City "View Park, that is being set
tled rapidly, besides the high ground be
tween Milwaukle avenue and the Willam
ette, which Is being cleared and built
over. Sellwood now extends south to the
golf links. At least E0 houses are under
construction south of Umatilla avenue,
and it is reasonably sure that the Sell
wood 8Choolhou.se, now increased to 16
rooms, will be filled up this year through
this increase. A resident of Midway says
the Board of Education should negotiate
at once for a block of ground between
Brooklyn and the Sellwood buildings
while it can be had for a reasonable cost.
Bill Collector's Home. William Mc
Donald, the collector of bad bills, well
known in this city, has his home in the
open air on the corner of East Madison
street and Union avenue. Here, on a
small bit of ground, at the edge of the
ibluff, his household goods have been
dumped promiscuously, and here, with
his cow and cat, McDonald livos. depend
ent on no one. His bed Is underneath
some fragments of carpet, which form a
eort of shelter, but his cow, his most
precious possession, and his furniture are
exposed to all sorts of weather. Most
men, however resolute, would feel dis
couraged under such adverse conditions,
but the greater the difficulties to encoun
ter the better he thrives under them. Al
though aged and poor, he has a name
of which he is proud, and he prefers
independence and poverty to the humility
of asking assistance from any source,
even if he should need It. In spite of
his rough attire and rugged appearance,
there is dignity about the aged bill col
lector that commands respect, even if
his habitation excites pity.
Lacks Terminal. Facilities. The
Portland Cumberland Presbytery retired
the Rev. W. R. Bishop from the active
minlstery at its recent session in Port
land. He is one of the best-known men
of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
In this state. Although nearly 80 years
old, he is still active, mentally and physi
cally, arid no meeting of synod or presby
tery in this state would be considered
complete without his presence. In debate
he can cope with any of the younger men,
and few excell him as a presiding officer.
In every meeting he attends Mr. Bishop
is usually the life and soul of good hu
mor, and nobody can feel blue with him
present. At the meeting of synod, while
a question -was being considered. Moder
ator Blalock asked the ministers to be
brief. Mr. Bishop remarked, "My ti-
mlnal faculties have been neglected; I
can't stop."
To Leave for Eugene. Dr. and Mrs.
I E. Rockwell -will leave this week for
Eugene to enter on their work at the
Methodist Episcopal Church there. Dr.
Rockwell has been on the Portland dis
trict for four years, coming from the
Uew York conference to fill out the term
of Rev. C R. Thoburn. at Centenary
Church. Both he and Mrs. Rockwell have
become popular with the churches in the
district. Mrs. Rockwell has been an ac
tive force in Methodist circles in Port
land, and she has been constantly en
gaged in helping struggling churches in
the country places. Through her efforts
many of the parsonages have been made
comfortable for the minister and his fam
ily. In this line of work, in the Y. W. C.
A., and in all branches of Methodist
-work, Mrs. Rockwell will b greatly
missed.
Wht Less 'than 100,000. Frank Ailing,
a prominent merchant of Tacoma, who
accompanied a crowd of excursionists
from that city to help boost Portland day
at the Fair, was taken suddenly ill upon
arrival here and forced to seek medical
attendance. In consequence he missed
going to the grounds and attributes much
of the failure to reach the 100,000 mark
to the fact that he was unable to con
centrate his enthusiasm upon the lag
gards. Mr. filing was sufficiently im
proved to return home yesterday after
noon. Grounds for Citt Hall. At the regu
lar meeting of the Milwaukle Council
this evening Councilman Philip Streib

expected that the Council will purchase
the ground and put nip a suitable build
ing. Money is on hand from licences
from the Milwaukle" Clubhouse and the
local saloon, and also from taxes, so that
the ground may be purchased and the
building put up without Incurring debt

some old artillery from the Government
for corner pieces to the ground. This was
part of the original plan, but It has not
.been carried out for lack of means. It
is hoped now to raise the funds necessary
to complete the work as contemplated.

SEEK BECKMANN'S PARDON
Douglas County Taxpayers Ask Dis
charge of Aged MurJcrcr.
- Attorney Charles J. Schnabel, of this
city, is working bard In his efforts to
free William Bcckmann, an elderly man
who was arrested here last July under
peculiarly distressing circumstances.
He is charged with the murder of his
stepson, 11 years ago. Beckmann is now
in the Roseburg Jail, and a strong peti
tion Is now being signed by the prin
cipal taxpayers of Douglas County
praying that the District Attorney and
Circuit Court there do not place Beck
mann on trial. Beckmann was Indicted
in 1S94 for Icllling his wife and step
son, Robert Ring, almost simultaneous
ly. He was tried on the charge of kill
ing his wife; was convicted of murder
in the second degree and sentenced to
Imprisonment for Hfo. In 1902, owing
to extenuating circumstances, he was
pardoned by Gocrnor Gecr.
Beckmann went at once to his for
mer home in Wisconsin, later entering
the soldiers' home at Milwaukee, Wis.
Owing to his age, about 80 years, he
was advised to leave that rigorous
climate and enter the soldiers home
at Los Angeles. It was when he was
on his way to the latter place, via
Portland, thence by steamer, that he
was again arrested, presumably upon
the ground that he had violated the
terms of his pardon. That being with
out foundation, the old indictment
brought in 11 years ago, charging him
with murdering his step-son, was res
urrected and he Is being held on that
for trial at the October term of court.
From evidence brought out at his trial
in 189S, it was shown that his home
life was far from happy, that contin
ual "nagging" by the members of nis
family and others mado his life a bur
den and that early one morning after
a particularly 'distressing scene the
double murder was committed. It is
said that Beckmann is now in ill health
and that he cannot live very long, any
way. GRANT FERRY FRANCHISE
St. Jolins Council Will Consider Sev
cral Applications Tonight.
The several applications for a franchise
to operate a ferry across the Willamette
River will come before the St. Johns
Council this, evening. Only two definite
applications have thus far been made,
with the possibility of a third coming In
this evening. Brink. Blumauer & Hoch
presented an application, and the St.
Johns Navigation & Development . Com
pany, represented by T. T. Parker, tho
other. It is not disclosed who are back
of the latter company, and not even tho
Councilmen who investigated the landings
last week have been Informed. At the
meeting this evening they will have to
come forward and show their hands to
get consideration fronj the Council. Both
applicants are asking for a 10-year fran
chise. The Brink company offers to build a
plank roadway the full width of the street
from the river to the O. R. & N. spur,
start a temporary ferry at once, and then
put on a 150-ton ferry as soon as it could
be made ready. The St. Johns Naviga
tion & " De'velopment Company offers 20
per cent of its income, but as the backers
are unknown, the offer does not have
much weight. The Llnnton road has been
oiled, and when a ferry is in operation
the Willamette boulevard will also be put
in first-class condition, thus making a
line driveway by way of St. Johns. It Is
expected that the Council will grant one
of the companies a franchise this even
ing. The water question In St. Johns will
also probably be considered this evening
at the meeting of the Council. It was
dropped two months ago, owing to other
pressing business, when there was a
movement favoring the issuing of bonds
for the purchase of the present plant at
cast. The owners offered it to the city
for 530,000. The present company has a
10-year franchise.
There is also a disposition to overhaul
the proceedings of the old Council in tho
vacation of streets extending to the wharf
line-, with the object of restoring these
streets to the public. Now that the Coun
cil has got together, these and other mat
ters will be disposed of.

It's difficult to find the right sort of
word to describe the entertaining dish
offered this week at the Baker, with a
matlneo Wednesday afternoon. A mix
ture of delicious burlesque brought
straight from the laughter factory,
with high-class vaudeville of such ex
cellent quality such as Is rarely seen
here, the principal attractions being
the three leaders. "The Health Resort."
"The Queen of Bavaria" and the
MlfflfClf" the proper pronunciation of
the last is up to you. It Is a well-selected
bill offered by Sam Devere's
company, and It Is safe to say that
anything of the Devere brand Is de
cidedly worth while.
Eddie Mack, as Wllhelm Rudolph, a
brewer. Is the chief male shining light
In the first piece presented The Health
Resort," Illustrating a hotel presided
over by a jealous landlord whose
pretty wife married him for his money.
Mack has a typical Dutch role and his
comedy work is new and refreshing.
Nearly all the hotel guests arc troubled
with imaginary bad health, and this
thought is cleverly worked out In shap
ing the characters, the rich uncle who
was operated on by a fake massage
artist, and the hotel proprietor who
was carried away by mistake to an
insane asylum.
The music Is catchy. introducing
"Run Away, Mr. Moon," "Mol
Ho O" and others. The two Shrodes,
Alice and Charles; literally captured
the house. The former performer Is a
good singer, and her dance, backwards,
is fine. Charles Shrodes Is a gilt-edge
comedian, and how he can make a spoon
dance inside an empty bottle, is a puz
zler. The great Andy Lewis Is a whole
show in himself, and the manner In
which he unfolds the story showing
how a circus carried on business until
a pair of whiskors formed the only
property lett. must be seen to be be
lieved. His fun is very Infectious. The
scenery and wardrobe are first class.

who on Friday afternoon ran away
from her guardian, appointed by the
Boys and Girls' Aid Society, was
found this morning at the Weinhard
residence and given over again to the
officers of tho Institution.
The girl, who Is of a wayward dis
position, was enticed Into the woods
at the head of Pettygrove street on
Friday afternoon by an unknown
man. According to her story, as told
to the officers of the Aid Society, she
met the man and was induced to walk
with him. He took her Into the thick
brush In the vicinity and kopt hef
there for several hours, after which
they went to tho Exposition grounds
for food. She said that tho man
threatened to kill her if she told of

Dancing Girls at the Carnival
of Venice Are in
Mourning.
DOCKED FOR RAINY DAYS
Three Dollars and Ninety Cents Paid
Them With Which They 3Iust
Provide Berths and 3Icals
i
en Route to Xew York.
Thirty little New Yorkers spent all of
yesterday In mourning. These SO little
New Yorkers are dancing girls, who have
been filling an engagement with the "Car
nival of Venice," and for whom yesterday
was full of disappointments, as it is said
they will have to ride back to old New
York In the chair care, unless they care
to dig Into their own pockets for Pullman
tickets.
Story of the Dancing Girls.
At least this is the story told by Miss
McDonaldson and Miss Clay, who allege
that they have been cruelly mistreated by
Bolossy Klralfy, of the Carnival of Venice
Company. To an Oregonlan reporter
last night Miss McDonaldson and Miss
Clay stated that they were two of 30
dancing girls who had been brought from
New York through misrepresentations,
and that the Carnival of Venice Company
rcfused to live up to tho contracts.
They allege that all of the girls have
due them from $3) to J0 In wages, but
that tho company refused to pay them
but $3.50, asserting at the last moment
that the rest would not be allowed them
because no performances were, given on
rainy days. Miss McDonaldson and Miss
Clay say the agreement was" that they
were to bo paid right through, and that
they were to receive ticket and sleeping
car berths back to New York. Now they
say Klralfy offers them a railroad ticket
and docks them for part of their salary
because of the bad days when no shows
could be given.
In Straightened Circumstances.
The two young ladles are the authorities
for the statement that many of the 30
New York girls are in very straightened
circumstances, and have not enough to
pay for their board and lodging. They
say that unless they sign a statement to
the effect that the company is no longer
Indebted to them, the tickets will be
withheld. Miss McDonaldson and Miss
Clay say that 15 of the girls have signed
away their rights for the railroad tickets
and the few dollars, and that the remain
ing girls are in a dilemma as to what to
do. They say that most of the girls will
be stranded In Portland unless they take
the tickets, and that the 33.90 Is not
enough to buy their meals while en route
to New York, not even considering a
berth. The Carnival of Venice Company

a
The Inmates of the Receiving Home of
the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society added 42
to the numbers at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition on Portland Day. Ben Selling
furnished all the children with free

selves heard from the tlmo they left the
Receiving Home until their return. Sup
erintendent Gardner found It necessary
on account of the large crowd at the Ex
position, to divide the children up Into
small parties, each In charge of an of
ficer. Therefore, there are no losses to
report, and the children both large and
small had a delightful day.
The number of children on hand at the
Home of the Society la 45. The last com
mitment was a young girl named Cora
Boiarth, 12 years old. from Sherman
County. Her mother is dead and the

Hunters Arc Early Afield.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 1. (Special.)
Probably 1000 hunters were in the
fields and woods of Marlon County to
day hunting Chinese pheasants. In
anticipation of the opening of the sea
son, 1225 persons secured hunters'
licenses in this county. Those who
hunt on their premires are not re
quired to have licenses, so the estimate
of 1000 In the field Is conservative.
The luck of hunters In this vicinity
was various, some getting a number
of birds, while many returned with
none.
