VICTORIA. Aug. 24. Few more tragic

starvation that they had to be carried.
The Makura brought detailed stories of
their vain struggle to find water on the
reef, their unsuccessful search for a
cache of provisions and a life-boat main
tained there previous to 1882 and which
the sailing directions stated still existed,
of their final abandonment of hope and
subsequent delirium.
Drowned While Wlfo Watches.
Captain Anderson and the second mate
were drowned while building a raft. His
wife and children looked on, wringing
their hands and finally, after others had
succumbed and the remainder were weak
from starvation, the captain's wife
drowned herself and four children.
The five survivors were too far gone
to talk much of their sufferings. Patrick
Palmer, an American who Joined the ship
at Coqulmbo, said:
"Five of us got away on a raft. We
went all over the reef in search of water,
but found none, and one of the party
died on the reef. We had some difficulty
In building the raft and the captain and
second mate both got drowned. The
captain's wife stood within a few feet
of him and she saw him drown as she
stood there wringing her hands. She
had her four children, from a baby one
year old to the 8-year-old girl, standing
beside her.

"We thought we would be able to find
water on the reef and save the lives of
those we had left on the wreck, but those
sailing directions lie. They said there
was water there, a life-boat and food,
and there was no food and no life-boat.

and dropped hla head on his chest. He
was lucky. There was another wreck on

to eat. It was musty, old and all it held
was a bottle with about two gills of water
that must have been there for years by

some more water and, although it was
bad. we drank it. We then decided to
build a punt from the wreckage, and
while we were working at this we lived

Drowns to Escape Being Eaten.
Another survivor took up the story. He
said that when the sufferers were sitting
on the sand the captain's ' wife thought
they were considering cannibalism and
she asked them not to eat her children.
Hen mind had gone. Suddenly she ran
into the sea and drowned her four ehil

When relief finally came there were
but five four men and a boy. And these
were so exhausted that three had to be

trial, today for the first made a state
ment about her case. She went to To
peka five weeks ago to see the baby,
she said. She talked with her while
the little one played in the street.
Right then, continued Mrs. Barclay,
"was when the kidnaping plot was
evolved, arid with the making of that
plot I determined nothing could stop
me. I went back to New York and
made my plans.
I have fought for Marlon, and I
will continue to fight as long as there
is blood in my veins. I love her bet
ter than life better than anything else
on earth. And I'll have her. I will be
successful, for I am right."
Should Judge Porterfleld dismiss the
writs, nothing but a recall of the requl

of Missouri can prevent the taking of
Mrs. James G. Barclay, of Buffalo. N.

Topeka to stand trial. James G. Bar

way here to assist his wife. The police

IMPORTANT FACTS FOR HOLDERS OF GOLD BONDS
PIANO COUPONS AND DISCOUNT CERTIFICATES
There are several Piano Houses in Portland which have no prices for their goods except grossly in
flated ones arranged expressly for fake discounts in connection with schemes of various klnrts.
These Houses seem to find it Impossible to dispose of their Pianos in a legitimate, straightforward
way; but Instead resort to one scheme after another catchpenny devices, card writing discount sales, so
crude as to be positively Insulting to the Intelligence of the public.
These schemes usually take the form of guessing contests, drawing puzzles, card writing, discount
sales and various feats of "skill." In all of them the object Is identical to mislead the prospective
buyer into the belief that he is getting "something for nothing," while at the same time prices are ar
ranged sufficiently high to offset the allowance to which his prize certificate entitles him.
Everyone Who Makes a Guess Gets a Prize!
If you have ever answered one of these ads. you received a discount certificate EVERYBODY DOES!
It matters not whether the answer is good, bad, or indifferent from adult or child It draws a "prize"
in the shape of a certificate or due bill (generally from $75 to $100) to apply on the purchase of a new
Piano. Of course the price of the Piano is fixed accordingly and the purchaser pays a high price, even
after the amount of certificate is deducted; usually a much higher prlcevthan an Instrument of similar qual
ity could be secured for in any legitimate Music Store.
To test the value of one of these certificates, present it in payment for something other than a new
Piano say, a low-priced used Piano, or a Phonograph, or a Muslo Cabinet and see how quickly the dealer
will turn you down. He will not even give you 60c worth of muslo for it. Try the experiment!
At $225 We Sell a Better Piano Than the
Scheme Houses Ask $325 to $400 For!
And the same proportion of saving holds good all through our line. Even after they have taken off all
the discounts they simply cannot compete with our Matchless Values.
We are now manufacturing, at our own Factory, over four thousand Pianos a year. We know how a
Piano ought to be built. Our volume of business so far exceeds that of any retail dealer that we are
enabled to effect greater economies in handling the business and in giving service to customers.
You can feel fully assured that in Bush & Lane Pianos you
will obtain far greater value than any other house can give,
notwithstanding "free certificates," "reorganizations," and
"wholesale stocks."
