HOME OFFICE, NEWARK, NEW JERSEY BRANCH OFFICES IN PORTLAND: . AGENTS WANTED. GOOD INCOME. PROMOTION. JOHN PAUER, Superintendent, Rothchild Building HENRY LYNCH, Manager (Ordinary Dept.), Corbett Building MISSES 14 TIES Farchi's Inaccuracy Saves His Relatives. WIFE NOW ASKS DIVORCE Besides Firing Fusillade at Home ol Molher-ln-Law. Defendant Is Charged With Ejecting Family From House. ' The determination of William Tell, without the accuracy of that historic archer, is said to be possessed by Louis Farchl. Instead of using his talent to secure his freedom, however, Farchl took 14 shots at his mother-in-law's house, none of which took effect. Evidently there was something the matter with the repeating rifle, or Farchl- Inaccuracy might have been due to the darkness of the night. It was not alone his mother-in-law whom Farchl was trying to pepper with bullets, but his sister-in-law -and her finance as well. In a divorce complaint filed in the Circuit Court yesterday by Uelsomina Farchl she says her husband tried to get her to artse from bed at 10 P. M. on September 11, 1906, and go with him to her mother's house, so he could shoot the occupants. She refused and received a thrashing. Farchl threw a drinking glass at his wife In November, 1906. She dodged and the glass hit the lamp globe and chim ney, breaking both. In September of the year previous, Mrs. Farchl says, her husband pulled her out of bed when her child was three days old, so he could occupy It. Last Decem ber he went bo far as to put both her and the children out of the house. The couple were married In Portland October 9. 1904. and Farchi's cruelty be gan two months later, on Christmas day, when he beat his wife with his fists, and followed It up with a slap on the face. As Mrs. Farchl is no prise fighter she wishes a divorce and the custody of the children. mitted to occupy it. damages. He recovered 150 FAILS TO RECOVER DAUGHTER Mrs. Annie Foster Must File Suit in Clackamas. Mrs. Annie Foster's effort to gain possession of her 7-year-old girl came to an unsuccessful end yesterday, so far as the Multnomah County Circuit Court is concerned, when Presiding Judge O'Day upheld the motion of Hat tie Myers to quash the writ of habeas corpus. The motion to quash was In terposed on the ground that as the Clackamas County Court, at Oregon City, passed on the custody of the child a year ago, refusing to return it to the mother, the latter must go to that court for redress. It appears that Mrs. Myers took the child, whose name is Loreta. Hoag, in January, 1906, when the mother was ill. Mrs. Foster now says Mrs. Myers agreed to return the little one when requested to do so, but that, after re peated requests 'during the last year, she has refused on the ground that the mother is not able properly to care for the girl. MERCURY TO DO OWNER NEED NOT PAY LIEN rosting of Notices i Protects From Contractors' Bills. That the owner of a building who posts notices in the building to the effect that he will not pay for repairs made cannot be compelled to pay contractors on me chanics' liens was the decision of Judge Cleland in the Circuit Court yesterday. The court dismissed the complaint and cross-complaint in the suit of Garrett J. Eaton against the Northwest Devel opment Company and W. D. Hotius. The latter, who is the owner of the Cham ber of Commerce building, let a contract for repairing the two upper stories to the Northwest Company. That firm pur chased sashes, doors and other materials from Baton, who is the proprietor of a planing mill on the Bast Side. Eaton, alleging that his bills are unpaid, brought suit to foreclose a mechanics' lien against the building. In which he failed. Judge Cleland denied the motion of M. L. Holbrook for a new trial of the suit brought against him by Charles Lelner. Leiner sued for $.1546 damages because he leased the Holbrook brick block in St. John for two years, and was not per- Court Gives Dog to Mrs. McKern. Mrs. Stella McKern will regain posses sion of the white Spitz dog over which there has been so much litigation. This was the decision of Judge Cleland in the Circuit Court yesterday morning. He also decided that the dog is worth J50, and that Lou Wagner must pay $S dam ages for its detention. That portion of the case which connected E. J. Davey with the dog's ownership was dismissed. Judge Cleland did not say who is the owner of the dog, and if Davey wishes to prove his ownership he will be obliged to bring another suit. Court Rules Against Drake. J. Fran-cis Drake and M. B. Rankin did not enter into a partnership June 12, 1896. as alleged by Drake, according to the decision of Judge Cleland yesterday. It will therefore be Impossible for Drake to recover the $3000 damages which he asked, or the appointment of a receiver. Rankin testified that Drake invested some money with him, and that he (Ran kin) paid him $4000 in settlement of all claims. GREAT C0RSET SALE. Thomson's glove' fitting cable net cor sets, famous H.

HEAT HAS INJURED GRAIN Rain Is Badly Needed in Interior, Especially in Oregon Counties Lying Along Columbia Wil lamette Is Falling. It will be cooler today, promises Weath er Forecaster Beals. - The hot wave1 of the past few days has passed, he says, and one's heels will not go so far into the asphalt as yesterday. In fact yesterday was somewhat cooler than the preceding day, although few people around town noticed it. The greatest heat yesterday was reached at 4 o'clock, when the of ficial thermometer in the weather office at the custom house stood at 90 degrees. Then it began to recede d it was quite comfortable long before dark. Unfortunately, the local weather office has no way of making comparisons of humidity in the air here with that in the Eastern cities. The observations here are taken at 6 A. M. and 5 P. M.. while the humidity carried in the atmosphere varies greatly from hour to hour. Observations in the cities of the Atlantic Coast cities are taken three hours from the time they are taken here. So it is impossible to make accurate comparisons between the oppresive hu midity in the air in the East and that here but everyone who has experienced the heat of an Eastern Summer says the moisture in the air there Is much greater than on the Pacific Coast. There are many ways of telling this, notably by the fact that perspiration does not dry so readily in the East as in the more dry heat of this section of the country. The continued dry weather is not prov ing beneficial to the grain crop for rain Is needed m the interior and the heat keeps drying the soil more and more. In the Palouse country- the latest reports are that grain is damaged only in spots and that the Spring grain, the Fall sown wheat being in good shape. Fortunately most of the grain in the Palouse was sown last Fall. But In the tier of Ore gon counties lying directly south of the Columbia River, grain Is in a bad way and needs rain badly. Happily, Oregon soil is very reten tive of moisture, say those who have studied the matter, and as the dry, hot northerly winds have been absent during the hot spell, it is believed that not so much damage has been done as would have been the case had the dry winds come up. ....... The river is receding daily at Portland about three or four inches, the snow on the lower levels of the mountains having about ail melted. This is shown by the fact that the hot weather of the past tew days has caused no rise in the head waters of the river and it is expected that the Willamette at Portland will reach Its normal stage in two weeks or less. Hourly temperatures for the 24 hours ending at 7 o'clock last night were as follows: T P. M.. July 7. 88; 8-83; 9-80; 10-76; 11-73; 12-72; 1 A. M.. July g. 69; 2-66; S-64; 4-63; 5-2; 6-65; 7-65; 8-70; 9-73; 10-77; 11-79; 12 noon-82: 1 P. M.-85; 2-89; $-89; 4-90; 5-85: 6-82: 7-79. The Postoffice Department has ordered a pouch service on train No. 18 for Salem, Brooks, Gervais and Canby, Sunday excepted. This will be of great benefit . to merchants at all these points. A movement is on foot to get regular service on train 18 with a clerk in charge. If this prevails, all the Valley towns between Cottage Grove and Portland will have improved mail facilities. How Horses May Escape From Burning Barns Joseph Bucbtel, - Veteran Fireman, Has Plan to Drive Horses From Stalls by Means-of Water. Better Mail Service in Valley. GERVAIS, Or., July . (Special.) THOROUGHLY original and even more humanitarian is the plan of Joseph Buchtel, & veteran fireman, for provid ing for the escape of horses from burning barns. Mr. Buchtal offers the sugges tion in order to prevent terrible suffering to the animals and for the sake of economy. . The idea has occurred to him In view of the recent livery barn fires in this city. "Stalls In the barns should be so built," he says, "that a perforated Inch pipe may extend through them at the heads of the horses. The animals are to be fastened with rings so attached that by moving a lever at the end of a row of stalls every horse is instantly released by the moving of the long pipe. At the same instant water is automatically turned on through the pipes, both being accom plished by the movement of a single lever. "Water will drive horses from their stalls," explained Mr. Butchel. "I would also suggest that a hose be fastened at the far end of the barn from which .water may be sent through the barn and the horses driven out after being released from their stalls. Horses will run from water, but strangely enough will run staight into a fire. "I think an ordinance should be passed by the Council compelling the proprietors of all barns to equip their places in some such -manner." Thug Is Appeased by Flask of Whisky Eddie Malloy Chats Sociably With Hiarhwayiuan, and Is Rewarded by Return of Week's Salary. EDDIE MALLOY has enjoyed the dis tinction of being one of Portland's premier mixologists for some 20 years, and Tuesday night he found his ability to "spread the con talk" most profitable. Incidentally Eddy also found a pint flask of spirits of considerable assistance. Malloy was walking to his home in North Portland and had occasion to cut across a vacant lot when he encountered a bold, bad highwayman wearing a black mask and who pointed the threatening muzzle of a blue-barrelled revolver in the direction of Eddy's sky-plcce. Not de siring to become acquainted with the contents of the weapon, Malloy obligingly handed out his week's salary which had reposed snugly in his trousers pocket. The successful knight of the highway was about to amble on when a happy thought struck his victim. "Say, partner, you seem to be & pretty good sort of a fellow. Have a little nip." and accompanying this remark Eddy flashed the pint flask. The amber fluid looked enticing to the roadagent, and he accepted the Invitation. The two sat down on a nearby log and began to swap stories of their past life. while engaged in the task of quaffing the contents of the little bottle. The spirits contained in the flask seemed to put the highwayman in good humor and incidentally in a mood as generous as that of his victim. After taking the last drag at the little bottle the highwayman remarked: "Old sport, I don't Intend that you shall have anything on me in this good-fellowship buslass. Much as I need the money here's your coin." and he handed Malloy his week's wages and started to go. Malloy halted the thug and handed him dollar with the remark: "Friend, you must have needed the money or you wouldn't have held me up. Take this case, it will get you a room and a feed in the morning." "You can bet I need the money. Thank you and I'm glad I didn's take your coin for there's worse men than you in the world, who have more and can spare it. So long. " And the highwayman depart ed on his way. Eddie watched him a mo ment, and then with his heart rejoicing, at his good luck the first in many moons he wended his way rapidly to his home, where he related his experience -to his in valid wife. Mailoy's friends got hold ol the story and commenced its circulation. When asked about it, he smilingly con firmed it. Eye glasses $1.00. at Metzger's.

H. t it? i e r l . jj'n I Tine nero or Dunner nui wno I first marshaled the Riflemen of the Revolution and left his plow standing in the furrow to hoist the banner of defiance against legislative oppression! Who has not heard of him? When others faltered and grew pale, facing fearful odds, this intrepid old Puritan Commander remained strong hearted, steadfast and true. His tavern, known to fame as the "GENERAL WOLFE," was (in its day) a celebrated meeting place for Revolutionary veterans. In its cozy bar parlor they delighted to periodically gather and drink with him the foaming juices of the malt; toasting each other in memory of the splendid and heroic days when they gave blood and treasure to found this nation and write the immortal princi- pie of "PERSONAL LIBERTY" in our laws f orevermore. Hale, hearty and generous minded to the last, Israel Putnam died at eighty-three, and what living Prohibi tionist dare stand up and say, "I am a purer patriot than he?"
