NEWS CAUSES SHOCK HERE Not Known lu Portland That She Was 111 Was Woman of Strong! personality and Shone as So . clal Leader In Washington. A large circle of relatives and friends was greatly grieved by receipt of the news in Portland yesterday that Mrs. (Augusta M. Dolph, widow of United States Senator J. N. Dolph. had sud denly died of pneumonia in Paris the night before. No Intimation had reached the members of her family here that she was In other than her accustomed good healt. and the an nouncement of her unanticipated death was a severe shock. , Mrs. Dolph had been in France for the past five or six months, visiting' one of her daughters. Mrs. Thornton, who makes Paris her home. During that time she had accompanied Mr. and .Mrs. Thornton on a number of motor trips through the Loire country and through Normandy and Brittany, seemingly in the best of health and spirits and had mingled extensively with the American colony In Paris, with many 'of whose members she had been on terms of Intimacy for years. Probably no woman from Oregon was ever so well known In the best social circles of the East as Mrs. Dolph. During her husband's 12 years' service In the United States Senate she became acquainted with nearly all the promi nent people In the country. Her home In Washington was one of the social centers of the capital, and her Thurs day receptions are still remembered as among the brilliant functions of each season. Besides her high position In society, she was possessed of a won derfully attractive personality and for years sustained the reputation of being one of the most beautiful women in the United States. In addition, she was a woman of extremely generous and amiable Impulses, and It Is one of her crowning glories that she will be mourned longest by those who have known her longest. Mrs. Dolph crossed the pla'ins when a baby, with her father, Johnson Mul key. rho settled In Corvallls on reach ing Oregon. After her marriage to Mr. Dolph she lived in Portland until she went to Washington, but since her widowhood she spent a large part of her time abroad. She was 63 years old at the time'of her death. Mrs. Dolph is survived by 'four sons, Chester V. Dolph, Francis Marion Dolph and Henry Villard Dolph, of Portland and Lieutenant Cyrus A. Dolph, of the United States Army; two daughters, Mrs. Richard Nixon, of .Portland; and Mrs. Lewis Walker Thorton, of Paris three sisters. Mis. J. W. Cruthers and Mrs. Martha M. Cauthorn, of Portland and Mrs. A. M. Odeneal, of New York City, and one brother, Logan Mulkey. of Walla Walla. She was a sister of the late Marlon Mulkey, one of the leading attorneys of the Portland bar. nd was therefore aunt of ex-United States benator F. W. Mulkey While no definite arrangements have yet been made, it is understood that the remain, of Mrs. Dolph will be broug It h T ?nd ',"k Internt the side of her distinguished husband. EUGENE SCHOQU CROWDED No New Pupils Being Admitted and Not Enough Jioom for Old Ones. EUGENE. Or.. Oct. 5. (Special.) Public schools of Eugene show the largest enrollment in the history of the city. An increase in both the grades and the High School over any previous year was recorded during the first week of school, and the second week, which Is Just closing, has added s,o much to the enrollment that the school board is actively at work to accommodate those who have already entered and has had to issue an order permitting only the pupils who have been In attendance to enter the first grades. Those who have not started to school will have to wait until now arrangements are made before they can be taken care of. The enrollment In the grades alone has reached over 1000 as compared with about 875 at this time last year. In the High School over 300 are en rolled, as compared with a total of SS4 during the past year and yet the attendance will be considerably In creased in the High School when the young people who are at work In the country can arrange to come In. Forty teachers have already been employed and three more are being sought to carry on the work for the pupiis already enrolled, while last year 36 teachers were able to do the work of the Eugene schools. It Is probable that the basement of one of the churches of Eugene will be utilized for two primary rooms until better accommodation can be secured. It will be necessary for the city to construct another school building some time dur ing the coming year. STUDENT MEETS F00TPAOS R. B. Leep nobbed of $6 by Three Armed Men. R. B.

If last Winter in Germany was one of dear meat, there is only too much reason to fear that the coming season wil prove one of dear bread. The prices of wheat in the open ma rice t have risen SO per cent as compared with last September, and 23 per cent as compared with April. Similarly, rye, which, as Is well known. Is the staple bread flour among the mid dle and poorer classes, has risen 30 per cent as compared with the prices ruling 12 months ago, and 20 per cent as com pared with April. The corn yield of Jaet year's harvest was exported from Germany in large quantities and supplies from that source are now extremely short. This export was followed by a very severe "Winter and a late harvest, and the wretched weather of this Summer and early Au tumn has further spoiled the crops. The outlook Is, indeed, unpromising. Finally, there exists great fear that the potato crop will be short. Breaks Leg While Drunk. While intoxicated," O. TV.

Monsieur Ceccotte, the cele brated tenor, and Mr. Angelo Mazzocco, made a very careful canvass of the different makes of organs, finally se lecting the Instrument mentioned. - The Vocalion action is covered by patents, and combines the best methods of obtaining durability, a responsive key-action and promptness of speech, with an arrangement of stops, com bination pedals and other accessories giving the performer perfect control of .the instrument. The construction Is simple, and the action does not readily get out of order. The tones produced! have exceptional purity, va riety, power, beauty and carrying properties. The tones have that smooth, flute-like quality and 'great resonance.
