LOS ANGELES. Cal., March 6. It is not larceny to steal a snake unless It Is an edible snake. Boa-constrictors are not edible and therefore one can purloin them with Impunity.

In ruling on the subject of snakes as property, said: Under the laws of California, It is not a crime to steal wild animals and snakes that are in captivity unless they are used as food.

ECHO OF PEERING MURDER House Where Quaker City Tragedy Occurred Is Burned. PHILADELPHIA. March 6. The last of a chain of incidents in connection with a famous murder case of 1866 occurred to day when a frame dwelling In the south ern section of the city, in which eight persons were murdered, was destroyed by fire. The killing of the eight persons shocked the country at the time. Christopher Detring. his wife and four children, a young woman- visitor and a lad who worked around the place were killed with an axe while they slept by Anton Probst, who had been employed by Durring. The only ..member of the Dearlng family left alive by Probst was a lad who. when the murderer committed bis ghastly deed, 'was visiting relatives. This survivor, William Doering, a few weeks ago, met a violent death, falling and fracturing his skull. SWEPT BY AVALANCHES Villages In Carinthia Wrecked, Ten . Persona Killed. Mr.'.

His methods in the art of "mixing" were demonstrated to be dif ferent from those of Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Taft stakes more time than did his pre decessor In making the acquaintance of his callers, and insists on knowing not only.' their full names, but their residence and' matters of TamiTy history." The Te sult;is said to be that it requires as much time for him to meet ten men as it did . for Mr. Roosevelt to greet 100.

Certain Proof Will Be Made That Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Cure Stomach Trouble. THE PASSING OF THE OLD COMING OF THE NEW HE discontinuance of the Columbia "Woolen Tvlills does not, as many might believe, mean a departure from the tailor ing business. The Columbia "Woolen "Mills Company organized a little over three years ago, has developed into the largest tailoring establishment on the Pacific Coast. To throw this business away would be folly of the worst kind. "What, then, does the organization of the Salem "Woolen Mills Clothing Company indicate.? To the reasonably well-dressed man. it means everything. The latter company embodies all that the Columbia "Woolen Mills did and a great deal more. The old company dealt exclusively in tailor made clothing. The new company maintains the If There Is Anything In Furnishing Goods You "Need, "We Have It For You tailoring department on a much higher grade than ever before, will carry a complete line of ready-to-wear clothing of the very best kind, ranging in price from $12.50to $25, besides being stocked from cellar to garret with the best, most up-to-date and nobbiest line of furnishing goods ever shown in the city of Portland. In all that the Columbia "Woolen "Mills Company was good, the Salem "Woolen Mills Clothing Company is vast ly better, combining every feature that goes to make a complete shop for men. If the Columbia Shop pleased you, the Salem "Woolen Mills will do so even more satisfactorily. It is the only men's store in Portland, catering exclusively to men and carrying almost everything that a man usually buys. TAILOR MADE DEPARTMENT As modestly as permissible, we are pleased to announce that our tailoring department is surpassed by none in the city. With an entirely new force of men, all selected from the standpoint of ability, equipped with a very large stock of new Spring woolens, and determined to do even a higher grade business than ever was turned out by the Columbia Woolen Mills, we are ready for your Spring order. Besides carrj-ing a complete line of imported and domes tic cloths, we will be the only tailoring shop in the city in a position to turn out a suit for you made of wool grown in Oregon, manufactured into cloth in this state and tailored exactly to fit you by Oregon workmen. For these excellent lines of first-class tailoring, we have adopted prices ranging from $30 to $50. We guarantee that no suit can be obtained in this city for the same price, possessing the quality, fit and satisfaction. IF THE SUIT WE MAKE FOR YOU IS NOT SATISFACTORY, WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO WEAR IT. FURNISHING GOODS AND HATS It is worth a great deal to a furnishing department to be able to show exclusive novelties in gentlemen's wearing apparel. In thus respect we lead the city. Our line of neckwear, collars and shirts, underwear, handkerchiefs, socks, suspenders and pajamas has the virtue of being the newest made, most of the goods coming direct from the factory considerably ahead of the stocks that were bought too early to be strictly up to the times. An instance of our oppor tuneness in this regard is shown by our stock of Earl & Wilson collars, all the latest shapes, for a bit apiece. These collars, made by the same people an " the E. & W., are as durable as the two-bit collars and and fully as satisfactory as the latter. We are especially proud of as nobby a line of hats as has ever been shown in Portland, We have every style, soft and derby, and the blocks are as new as are made. READY TO WEAR To be able to carry a stock of Oregon-grown-manufa"tured-and-tailored ready-to-wear clothing has been the ambition of a great many clothiers of this state. It has remained, however, For the SALEM WOOLEN MILLS CLOTHING COMPANY to be the first dealers in Portland to be able to do this. No man who loves Oregon and travels away from his state can afford to dress in other than a strictly Oregon suit of clothes. We have . .hundreds of patterns, weights, colors and sizes, many of which have already been placed upon display and are ready to show. Little by little, during the coming week, new poovis will be placed on display as rapidly as we can turn them out. The prices of these suits, guaranteed to satisfy the most critical, will range from $12.50 to $25, discounting any clothing prices ever offered in the city, as well as showing a better quality of goods than Portland has ever seen. IF THE SUIT YOU BUY DOES NOT COME UP TO OUR GUARANTEE, WE'LL REFUND YOUR MONEY. INASMUCH AS OUR LINE OF FURNISHING GOODS IS THE NEWEST AND LATEST IN THE CITY IT WOULD BE WELL TO CALL SOON.

GERMANY FEARS CORQUEST STARR PREDICTS DEATH Say Roosevelt Will Fall Victim to Disease In Africa. CHICAGO. March 6. "Theodore Roosevelt will never return to the United States alive. If he carries out his announced Intentions of exploring the dark regons of Africa In quest of big game." This is the opinion of Professor Fred erick Starr, of the University of Chi cago, whose prophecy is based on his knowledge of the dangers of that coun try, particularly the insidious fevers, gained through his expeditions to the Congo Free State. The ex-President, according to the educator, will Invade a seotlon of the country where few white men have dared to venture heretofore on account of the fatal nature of prevailing epi demics, and the "sleeping sickness." "His danger," says the professor. In a communication to students, "will not He In the ferociousness of the animals which dwell there, but In the fevers the explorers have come to fear and which have taken the lives, of many.
