Wilnslow, C. A. Dolph, Wirt Minor and H. C. Bow ers, entered, followed by the casket con taining the body of the dead lawyer, borne by the strong hands of eight young men. The casket was crowned with a profusion of choicest flowers, and tlfe al tar on which it reposed was surrounded by floral offerings, a touching memorial of the esteem in which the dead attorney was held. The church bell tolled for the departed, and before its tolling ceased, Rev. E.'P. Hill began a touching and earnest prayer. When he closed, a special quartet, con sisting of Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Bushong, W. A. Montgomery and Professor W. H. Boy er, with Harold B. Milllgan as organist, sail "My Jesus, as Thou Wilt." Rev. Mr. Hill read the 90th Psalm and the 15th chapter of Corinthians, and the quartet rendered "Lead, Kindly Light." The pas tor delivered a short but touching sermon suited to the occasion, closing with prayer, after which the quartet sang "Abide With Me." , A large concourse of friends and rela tives followed the body to the corner of First and Oak.- where a special funeral car awaited them and the body was taken to the Crematorium. Members of the Multnomah County Bar met at the Courthusse yesterday morning and Judge Frazer was instruct ed to appoint a committee to draft and report resolutions with respect to the memory of O. F. Paxton. The commit tee has not yet been named. Attorneys also met in Department No. 1 of the State Circuit Court at 2 o'clock and at tended the funeral in a body. Whitney I.

Bull in China Shop Outdone by Rat in Department Store Salesgirls Climb Counters, Ladders and Stools When Terror Stricken Rodent Flits Through Door Pursued by Dog DID you ever take into consideration the consternation one lone rat can cause when turned loose in a de partment store? Anyone happening in the vicinity of Olds, Wortmau & King's large emporium about 9.30 yesterday morning would have' witnessed a sight that, while it might have shocked some of the prudish ones, demonstrated that the department store girl, in spite of her ability to remain calm under the most trying of ordinary circumstances, Is not rat-proof by any means. The affair came about this way: The probrietor of a nearby cafe installed a rat trap in his cellar the night before, and in the morning a friend happened in' who was possessed of a fine specimen of the genus fox terrier, and the result of their meeting was that it was deckled the dog should get the benefit of the con tents of the trap. Together the restaur auteur and his friend repaired to the cellar and found four large rats held prisoners. The trap was forthwith car ried to the street, and the sagacious lit tle terrier scented his quarry immedi ately and with yelps. of impatient delight, prepared to slay the rodents. The first two rats were released singly and were quickly dispatched by the dog, but in opening the trap the third time the door was held too long and both the remaining inmates escaped at -.once. A mad scramble on the part of the rats ensued and before either had much of a start the terrier had one of the fleeing pair by the neck, and while he was dis posing of this fellow the other dashed Into the Washington 'street entrance to the department store. His entry was un announced, but In spite of this it was only a second until his presence became heralded broadcast over the lower floor of the store, and a wild scramble on the part of the feminine portion of the- em ployes ensued. Everything in sight that offered a haven out of reach of the In vader was immediately scaled by the shop girls, who were joined in the aerial excursion by women patrons of the place. The very latest styles of hosiery were displayed with utmost disregard for the several male witnesses, who feigned to be watching the chase being carried on by the dog and the rat. The Jog finally proved victorious in the hunt for the fugitive and the remains of Mr. Rat were car ried to the street and dumped in the gutter, after which calmness regained its sway over the emotions of the erst while frightened shop girls. During the progress of the rodent's ca reer in the store the ecreams of the occupants of the various counters, tables, chairs and shelves attracted the atten tion of "Broadway Hank." who visited the store with a view of investigating the cause of the disturbance, and in refer ring to the display that met his gaze, he said, "It was a shame to take the money." The owner of the terrier was required by the policeman on the beat to remove the dead rats from the streets, which was done In spite of the aversion that personage had to performing the task.

TWO UNUSUAL passengers will be aboard the Northern Pacific train which will arrive in Portland this morn ing from Seattle. They are a couple of fine bears which started out last night to take the long trip from the Sound to New York, their ultimate destination be ing the zoological park at that city, where they will join the colony of beasts and birds that furnishes amusement to the sight-seers of the great metropolis. The bears are the property of E. H. Harriman, woo Is presenting them to the park and who is taking a personal In terest in seeing that they shall want for nothing in their journey across the con tinent. At his request special Instruc tions have been wired to the O. R. & N. officials here to see that they are pro vided with proper food and forwarded without delay. The orders are that they shall have plenty of bread, crackers and milk, and a liberal supply of drinking water. The animals are being shipped here by the Pacific Express Company and will be forwarded by the Wells, Fargo Com pany. They will probably not require Pullman accommodations, but with this exception they will travel with all the ease of first-class tourists, and will re ceive as much attention from the trans portation people as two children would taking the same trip unattended.
