June 1. the interchangeable ticket plan between the O- R. N. Co. will end. For several years past passengers' could pur chase a ticket for either beach and could travel between Portland and Astoria either by rail or 'boat, tickets purchased from either company being accepted. This is now a thing of the past. Passen gers for the North Beach will be com pelled to take the steamer T. J. Potter for Megler or the Hassalo for Astoria and thence across by tug. and return the same way. If they desire to come from Astoria by train an extra fare will be necessary.

'The ways and means committee of the City Council yesterday afternoon con sidered bids for the city advertising sub mitted by the Evening Telegrram, the Daily Abstract and the Daily Guide. Al though the committee failed to award a contract, it came' to the conclusion that the Guide, the lowest bidder, was not a newspaper in the true sense of the word, and for that reason was not en titled to the contract.- The committee finally decided to recommend the rejec tion of all the -bids submitted and read vert is e for new ones. "While the committee was discussing the subject, representatives of the Ab stract and Guide were engaged In a heated controversy in which affidavits played a prominent part. The Abstract man had a batch of affidavits on hand which, it was declared, showed that the Daily Guide failed to have more than one single subscriber. Por some time past a paper known as the Guide has been published in this city twice a week. The Daily Guide is said to be an offspring of this semi-weekly paper, organized re cently, it is alleged, for no other purpose than to attempt the securing of the city advertising contract. It was also shown in the affaidvits that wherever the Daily Guide had been dis tributed it was being delivered "dead head" and in the majority of cases against the consent of the parties named as the subscribers. ANOTHER IN ITS PLACE Lamphere's Lawyers Say Mrs. Gnu ness Substituted Body for Hers. LA PORTE, Ind.. May SB. That the body of Mrs. May O'Reilly, who disap peared from Rochester, N. T last Fall, was substituted by Mrs. Gunness for her own In the Are is the latest theory advanced by Messrs. Darrow and Worden, attorneys for Iamphere. They also profess to have secured evidence to substantiate such a conclusion. Lamphere's lawyers are greatly ex cited over- the receipt of a letter from a man in Arkansas, whose name they decline to make known, who declares that Mrs. Gunness escaped in man's clothing- and that he on May 6. five days after she was burned to death, according- to the official statement of Coroner Mack, received a letter from her. He says he will produce this let ter and turn over to the ofllcera other letters, and will -also give additional Information regarding her. Falls Into Scalding Water. SUMPTER, Or., May 25. The funeral of the 2-year-old infant boy of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Stark took place yesterday. The-child died from falling into a vat of scalding water at the family home, at the Columbia mine. At the time of the accident it was not thought the little fellow was seriously injured and the an nouncement of his death was a surprise. : " H - i i ' - . iriiiiriiirfiiiiTmrirtfii THOS.
