OF considerable musical importance is the concert to be given Friday night at the Hcllig by the popular Lakme Quar tet for the benefit of the St. Antics' Baby Home. The musical is to be given under the auspl- of the Ladies' Aid 8oclcty of the Cathedral, and the patroness list win be a Jon and distinguished one. The Lakme Quartet consists of Mrs. Mae Dearborn-Schwab. Mrs. Kthel I.ytle Booths. Miss Petronella O. Connolly and Mrs. W. A. T.

MAYOR TO SHIFT BURDEN WIIX MARK NO ESTIMATE OX CITY TAX LEVY. Council This Year Will Aunre En tire Responsibility for Establish ing Municipal Expense Buds"t. Mayor Lane will not make any rec ommendations to the Council this year as to the amount of money that should be apportioned to each city department, but will leave It entirely In the hands of the ways and means committee. This Is contrary to the usual custom, and places the responsibility strictly upon the members of the Council. Last year the Mayor made a recommenda tion and the Council deducted a mill. This year, however, there is far great er harmony between the executive and tlie Council, and It is expected they will work together In an effort to get the best results. The task of compiling the annual budget Is one of the most difficult duties of the Council, and Involves a great amount of work, so that numer ous special meetings of the ways and means committee are always necessary. Councilman Kushllght, chairman of the committee, announced yesterday that he will call up the matter at the next session of the committee. All of the department estimates are In. the department chiefs having' been Instructed by Mayor Lane several months ago to put In their requests by September 15. These are now on flic with City Auditor Barbur, and will be taken up by the ways and means committee at the next regular com mittee meeting, which will be Monday, November 2J. It Is probable that spe cial sessions. of the committee will then b called In order to get the budget Into condition for presentation to the Council. After the ways and means committee makes Its report It is the duty of the Council to act. Last year several changes were made, chiefly In the fire department, which suffered a big cut. Politics figured very largely In the action of the Council at that time. It Is said, and It Is believed that this year's budget will be more harmoniously ar ranged. There Is every Indication that the city tax levy will be higher In 1909 than this year, as the city stands in urgent need of a modern police head quarters. Municipal Court and City Jail, aa well as an emergency hospital, a garbage crematory and other munici pal Improvements It is the plan of some of the Councllmen to levy an as sessment this year that will cover the cost of these utilities. If this plan Is followed out taxes are sure to be higher. Tell or Halloway's Conduct. Adolph Adler. the self-etyled agent of a black-hand society who threatened Slg Slchel and Ken Selling with death last Summer unless they paid him HOD apiece, and who has been generally looked upon as a dangerous lunatic, was on the witness-stand In the trcuil Omrt yesterday as an ejipert on Insanity. Adler was -railed by the defense in tlx trial of Cheater Halloway. who shot his wife five times In a jealous rage last June, and who is pleading insanity as a defense. Adler had been In tile same cell with Halloway and described his peculiar conduct as evidence of Insanity. "He would walk up and down the cell talking to his wife and saying she was In tlie cell with hint. He'd keep saying ho wanted his wife and baby and was going to go get them." Adler said. Rdward H. Martin, convicted slayer of Nathan Wolff, wsa also called to tell of Adler s peculiar conduct. Martin gave it as hU belief that the man was wrong. In order to establish Halloway's mental status on a scientific basis the attorneys In the case called Dr. William House, the well-known brain specialist. .Dr. House said, when Halloway's conduct was de scribed minutely, that his actions might Indicate mental irregularities. Kvidence in the ease was completed and the case will go to the Jury Monday. Golden Anniversary of Historic Wedding Mr. sad Mrs. ISnthan White, of ienbera. Principals ta Triple Nup tials Before Indiana Friends. ROMANCE and history were combined .at a reception at New berg. November t. In celebration of the golden anniver sary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan White. The romance began many years ago In an Indiana village and the participants in this golden wedding anni versary nave been prominent figures In tlie. history of Oregon. Fifty years ago the elders of Friends Meeting. Richmond. Indiana, received taree declarations of marriage. Tlie dec larations were the results of three machea culminated at K&rlham College. The three grooms lived at quite a distance from the school and none of the three brides ac cordingly was willing to postpone the wedding, for soon the roads would be come impassable. So, on November S, IKS. In the presence of some 3000 wit nesses, the triple ceremony, queer and quaint as the Frends' customs provide, took place In the old meeting house. Youngest and fairest, perhaps, of these brides was Elizabeth Pool, the pet of the school, who was married to Nathan White, of Old Blue River. On Tuesday. November 3. 1908, at New berg. Mr. and Mrs. White celebrated their golden weddln- giving a reception to their friends from 1 o'clock until P. M. It happened to be election day and fur ther to celebrate his good fortune Mr. White voted for William H. Taft for President. The house was decorated In Autumn leaves anU ferns with strings of lady apples. The table decorations consisted of a pyramid of fruit surrounded by mignonette representing the Autumn of life. Mrs. White's bridesmaid, her sis:er, Mrs. L. IS. Adair, of Eugene, assisted in receiving. Those assisting at the table were Misses Mary Cook. Emma Heacock, Knla Colcord and Florence Kaufman. Mrs. E. Johnson, of Whtttler, Cal., presided over the registration book. m.iiw than 2i guests were received. many having come from distant parts of the country. Their children. Mrs. Harri son Ogden. of Portland, and Everett White, of N'ewberg. also one grandson. Merrill Pool Ogden. of Rugene. were with them. Another grandchild. Everett Peck ham, son of their youngest daughter. Lelta, deceased, resides in the Kant. Mr. White is the author of many poems The Satisfaction of Knowing Yoar JEWELS There would be absolutely no enjoyment in the wearing of a jewel of any kind if yon were the least in doubt as to its genuineness. To entertain the slightest doubt as to the quality of any article of jewelry would completely destroy every par ticle of satisfaction that might be derived from the wearinc of it Jewelry adornments must be genuine, or the wearer could not feel adorned by them. The knowledge of their being other than what they should be, wonld create the suspicion that everybody who saw them could tell it. It is the absolute knowledge that your jewelry is just ex actly what you bought it for that constitutes the real sat isfaction of wearing it. "Whan you buy from my stock you receive the gen uine, whether it be solid gold, silver or plate. My trade is composed largely of people who have a pretty good knowledge of jewelry, and the high character of my stock is what appeals to them and brings them to my store to trade. Every article in my stock is selected by me and known to be genuine. Anything yon purchase of me is absolutely guaranteed to be genuine. I invite you to look at my superb showing of jewelry novelties before you finally select your gifts for Christmas'. ARONONT Cteweler and vSilve r-smitFT 0."34 Was Kington.
