ALI3K S WINTER GARDEN CThlrd and Morrison streets) Concert sightly. jTuar A Doq-Dat Rumob. Ex - Mayor Storey, while enjoying a very pleasant cay at the beaside yesterday, experienced awful calamities in Portland. Rumor had it that he was drowned while bath ing. His partner, Mr. Kern, telegraphed and received a -reply early in the morning that the ex-Mayor was well and hearty. But the rumor had started like a prairie flro, and soon everywhere friends ot Mr. Storey were shocked by the sudden and terrible news. Contradiction seemed to have little effect tin til the force of the first wave had surged all over the city. Then there was something of a reaction, and people could believe that there was no cause for mourning, if the ex-Mayor telegraphed he was sound and well. One man was met who bad seen a man who saw the body on the marble slab at the morgue. Another man said he had been positively informed that Mayor Rowe was drowned at the seaside. When Informed that Mayor Rowe was at the ball game, Which was not at all watery, he was nonplussed and could not understand. When the city officials realized the per sistent rumor was spreading from the ex Mayor to he Mayor, they began to notify their friends and families that they were safe, as Jt appeared all of tSfiPi might soon be included in the catastrophe. Visitors From Canada. Dr. and Mrs. John Thorburn, of Ottawa, Canada, ar rived in Portland yesterday morning and will bp the guests of their nephew, J. Thorburn Ross.

Dr. Thorburn is, well known in literary and scientific circles, and is a classical scholar Wiii. Detekd the Stocktards. There seems to be some conflict of opinion among residents near the stockyards as to whether that institution is the real nuisance in the neighborhood. A portion of the people living thereabout, state that thd real fight is between the Western Lumber Company and the yards, and that cesspools in the neighborhood and tho crematory In warm weather can give forth more blighting odors than three stockyards. Merchant & Co., the mana gers of the yard, have acquired the land on which the buildings "and corrafs are situated, and are rapidly preparing their defense to the action pending to abate the yards as a nuisance. Injured in Runawat. Chris Gates, a milkman, was severely Injured yesterday morning in a runaway, having his skull fractured, so that his recovery is doubt ful.

Griffln, grand representative of the Oregon Lodge of Elks, who has beea attending the grand lodge in New Jersey, returned noma last evening, one of the happiest men Portland has seen for weeks. Mr. Griffln" looked much like one would Imagine an escape from purgatory would after a month's confinement with his Satanic majesty, and his radiating happiness .was because his torture was over. Several Eastern cities were vis ited during the trip but unfortunately each, was sweltering at the time, and there, was no peace on earth, and to the inhabitant of the cool Northwest there seemed but little hope for the future, Mr. Griffln lost 15 pounds, which he says simply fried out of him. There was no sleeping, as the" thermometer frequently registered SO to H in tho middle of tn night. Even a breeze seemed to stand no show in the suffocating atmosphere. "Well, you can tell all your friends that Oregon is good enough for me," said the returning pilgrim. "If you want to de populate the East) have the people there know what our Summer climate is. Make them know that, and they will come, or I am mistaken." Charged With Assault and Battert. A warrant charging" him with assault and battery upon" his wife has been served on Chester V. Dolph, eldest son of the late Senator J. N. Dolplu. The warrant was quietly served by Chief of Police Mc Lauchlan, and Mr. Dolph was immedi ately roleased. on his own recognizance. The complaint was made by Mrs. J. W. Cruthers, mother of Mrs. Dolph, and it alleges that the assault was committed on Wednesday evening, by striking and beating Mrs, Dolph. The case has not been set for the Municipal Court as yet, and It is doubtful whether it will come up for a hearjng. Mrs. Dolph had no part in bringing the complaint, and a general denial is made that the reported beating ever took, place.
