When an artist becomes, by general consent, a standard by which all other artists of the same kind are Judged and graded, it means but ' one thing that he Is - indisputably supreme. Such' a posi tion PaderewskI has held for the 20 odd years in which his playing has enchanted the people of five continents. This is said in no wise derogatory to the many great pianists who are doing their share to foster the love of music throughout the world. When PaderewskI first dazzled the world with the beauty -of his playing, he opened a new era for the pianoforte, discovering unguessed possibilities In that instrument. Liszt reformed and enlarged the technique of the key board PaderewskI has done the same for the pedals, revealing the wondrous command of color that lies In them. This Is his greatest contribution to pianists of today. It was he who first made the piano forte "sing" a melody so that the listener almost forgets that it is an Instrument of percussion. The union of his extraordinarily sensi tive touch and his skill in the use of pedals has . made him unique among planlBts of our time. v . ' & Frank's store and Oregon State Fair.

Prisoner's Refusal to Dress Causes Disturbance and Two 'Deputy Sheriffs Watch Convicted JIan, Fearing Another Fall. An indeterminate sentence of from one to four years' imprisonment in the Penitentiary waa imposed on . E. C. Von Kieln, convicted , bigamist, by Judge Kavanaugh yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, following a delay of near ly an hour, oocasioned by the prisoner's refusal to dress, to come to the court room. Notice of motion for a new trial and appeal were served by Attor ney Hume after the passing of the sen tence. Sentence was to have been passed at 10 o'clock Friday morning, but was continued indefinitely at the request of Attorney Hume, who advised the court that his client was 111. Dr. H. R. Clint, acting under the orders of Judge Kava naugh, examined Von Klein and re ported that as far as he could deter mine Von Klein was suffering from no ailment other than nervousness and that this nervousness might not dis appear for weeks. After receiving this report- Judge Kavanaugh decided that any further delay in, passing sentence was unneces sary and ordered the prisoner brought into court. Guarding against the possibility of another fall such as he received when the verdict of guilty was returned last Tuesday, Von Klein was brought Into tho courtroom sup ported by two deputy sheriffs, who sat beside him during the entire time he was in the courtroom. ' Confident Smile Passes. The norve which has kept the pris oner smiling almost continuously since his incarceration In the Multnomah Jail last June has gone. Yesterday he ap peared unshaven and his hair ruffled and his clothes were not worn as nat tily as during his previous appearances in the courtroom. Only once or twice during the 30 minutes, he was fn the courtroom aid nis smue cross nis iace and then only to vanish after a- mo ment At all other timesshe was sul len, staring first one way and then an other. Attorney Hume askedi Judge Kava naugh that a lenient sentence be Im posed on Von Klein, who, he said, had been held In jail already six months. "If under your discretion you see fit to give this boy a Jail sentence of six months," said Mr. Hume, "we will thank you and abide by your sentence." The petitions signed by five Jurors requesting that leniency be shown the prisoner were read by Mr. Hume. State Objects to Leniency. Any leniency was objected to by Deputy District Attorney Magulre, who cited former convictions of Von Klein and complaints from other localities where he is charged with having com mitted offenses against women similar to the ones for which he has been tried In this county. .Judge Kavanaugh said, however, that he would base his sentence entirely upon the proceedings of the trial at which he was tried. With only this preface he passed the extreme penalty of the law. Other penalties which might have been given are a fine of from $300 to H00 or a jail term of from six 'months to one year. -Von Klein was tried and convicted of living polygamously with Miss Ethel Newcomb, following their pretended marriage in San Francisco in October, When he deserted Miss New comb in Portland about a week after their pretended marriage, he took with him it was charzed. Miss Newcomb's Jewels, valued at 3B00. For the heft of these Jewels ne nas Deen inea iwiw the Jury in each case being unable to agree. Swindle cnargea msuy. Three women. Miss Newcomb, Mrs. E. Weber, of Kansas City, and Mrs. Isa bella Temple, alias Isabella Vermont, and now said to be living in Nashville. Tenn., under the name of Mrs. C. G. Eaton, have made complaint to the Portland officers that Von Klein had swindled them out of Jewels at differ ent times.

Von Klein's 'career of premeditated crime covers a period of about 15 years, said Deputy Maguire, In opposing any leniency by the court, "his first arrest having been made in Gelesburg, 111 In 1898, on a burglary charge. The next year he served a sentence in Toronto for larceny. He was not forced Into a life of crime by necessity fr want, but by choice.

Its principal features were its vertical axis and horizontal arms. To these arms huge stones were attached and dragged round in a circular pit over a smooth, hard floor.

A small stream, running mrouta mo vn, turned the ground ore. into paste and washed it out through a sluice pro iriri with riffles, into which the gold en particles settled.
