NEGRO AGAIN IN TOILS Fugitive Narcotics Peddler Faces Trial After Two Years. Yam Wallace, notorious negro drug peddler, has learned the truth of the old platitude, "You may linger, but tney 11 get you yet." Two years ago Wallace, facing trial in the tederal court liere, dis appeared, leaving his bonds to pay tho $2000 which they had pledged for his appearance in court.

"ROUGH WRITERS" TELLING ABOUT TRIP TO ROUND-UP Plan Is Suggested for Getting Eastern Sport Writers to Make Tour of Oregon Fishing Streams'. BY W. P. STRANDBORG. NEW YORK, Nov. 6. (Special.) No trip to New York is com plete any more without a side excursion to the headquarters of the "Rough Writers," who invaded Portland and the northwest in Sep tember and got lots of local color, et cetera. So, we bounced into the"inner san torum of George Palmer Putnam the other day and remarked: "Hello, George, how Is every little thing with the bunch since they got back from Portland?" George was doing some trivial little intellectual tatting or at least he was knitting with his massive brow as if a whole five-foot book shelf of six best sellers was about to be created, but he spoke up with an ample grin on his face: ' 'Oh, fine, very similar to the cats whiskers. 1 might almost say rip ping' " and as soon as George could get out of his intormal pose which consisted of telescoping one of his shapely seven-league legs out of a waste paper basket done in grey and rose cretonne he started to rave about the recent tour of Oregon. His other equally shapely seven-league leg in the meantime being unfolded from the top of his Queen Anne or Louis Quinze desk, whichever it was. Trip Is Memorable. "All things considered," murmured George, "it was one of the most suc cessful tours any of our crowd ever took and unless I miss my guess as a prophet it will be one of the most valuable episodes in the history oi Oregon from the standpoint of put ting your section (and my section, too. for I like to call myself an Ore- gonian yet) on the map in big bright letters. And, 1 11 tell you wny aner 1 tell wou something else. "There are three very important ways in which the far western em pire can get invaluable publicity on which it can cash in in dollars and cents in big terms in the future. One of them is to send a missionary nxe Frank Branch Riley, who has done a splendid bit of educational work for you. A second way is to use the display advertising columns of the big daily newspapers like many of the western cities and stales are alreafiy doing and the . third, and what I consider the most effective way, is to organize a series of tours something along the line of the one taken by our party this fall. You have no idea how much favorable mention you have been getting arid are getting and will continue to get for a long time to come as the re sult of this one expedition." Herald Tells of Trip. Thereupon Putnam dug some notes out of his desk and handed them over with the remark: "Read this if you have any doubts." And this is what was gleaned from these memoranda covering the writing and illustrations, cartoons and other literary material being produced by the various members of the Putnam party: Walter Trumbull, sporting editor of the New York Herald, is. mak ing frequent references to the Round-up and other events in the Pacific northwest in his column, the "Listening Post" in the Herald, which is syndicated to a lage num ber of other metropolitan papers. Trumbull has also had a half-page story in the Sunday Herald. Also rotogravure p'ctures in the Her ald. There have been rotogravure pictures in practically all the New York papers and many other east ern publications. Frederick O'Brien, author of "Atolls of the Sun" and other south sea stories, is writing an article on the Round-up for "Town and Coun try." - Charles Lanson Towne, author of "Loafing Down Long Island," is also preparing an article for the same publication. Outlook Takes Article.' George Palmer P.utnam has placed an article with the "Outlook" on the Round-up and expects to place an other one a little "later. John Held Jr. has placed, about six : pages of ..drawings, humorous and otherwise, in Judge. Ruth Hale is writing a couple of articles for Judge. . Putnam has also contributed sev eral brief sketches to Judge, tying in with the western trip. George Chappell (with John Held illustrations) is writing several ar ticles for Life. He is also writing a Sunday syndicate story for the New York Tribune, which will ap pear in perhaps a dozen important eastern papers. It is quite likely that Chappell will have two such syndicated feature articles, if some of the literary controversies into which, he has become involved lately, do not take too much of his time, but, even in these wordy bat ties and in his illustrated lectures on the various cruises of his in trepid "Kawa," the recent western tour is coming in for goodly men tion. Hubbard Hutchinson is placing several Sunday stories in Cleveland and Cglumbus, O., papers. Advertising Is Priceless. That is a skeleton outline of the direct and immediate fruit this authors' tour is bringing to Ore gon, and since the writer arrived in New York the middle of October, there have appeared articles and Illustrated matter in dozens of issues of the New York papers, of an amount that . would cost at least $5000 if Portland and Oregon tried to buy the' same amount of space for money, and it really couldn't be purchased, for that kind of space in the news columns is not purchas able. Discussing the future possibilities for further capitalizing such ad venturous journeys, with Putnam, the following definite suggestion was evolved, and if Oregon wants to take it up and push it through, Your 'TEETH SLEEP' While We Work DENTISTRY WITHOUT PAIN By Prove Reliable Metsod-X-Ray and Electrical Diagnosis 13 Years' Practice In Portland. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED WATCH YOUR TEETH REGULARLY Is the system upon which the operation of Important features of the universe depends. Regu larity in care of the teeth Is Just as important In its way, and the first consideration la that vou have regular advice from a good dentist. Home care isn't enough. No matter how sound you think your teeth, the fact is you don't know otherwise until they ache and then the damage may be done. Forestall it see Dr. A. W. Keene Dr. E. J. Kiesendhl A bore Majestic Theater. Ent 351 'j Washington Street. we can get valiant assistance from every one of those who made the recent pilgrimage to the Evergreen state. Sporting Writers Suggested. Here is the hunch. Oregon abounds in splendid fishing streams and ideal hunting grounds for all kinds of game, and virtually every one of the sporting editors of the New York papers is a "nut" on fish ing and hunting. . Therefore, it ought not to take a great deal of ingenuity or hard work tOi organize another expedition to Oregon next summer made up of sporting writ ers in search of real sport.- Walter Trumbull, one of the best sports writers in New York, of course, has already been out our way and he has promised to help us all he can. We can depend on George Putnam to the limit, and George is a wild-eyed sportsman himself and might be Induced to play a "return engagement" with the next crowd. "I believe," commented Putnam, as we talked the thing over, "that we can get such noted sportsmen and sporting editors as Grantland Rice, "Bob" Edgren, Bozeman Bulger, Damon .Runyan, Heywood Brown and a lot more of them, and if you folks in Portland want to start the stunt, just tell me when you are ready to shoot and we will play ball with you to the limit. It has the IT'S a pleasure to read them the thousands of letters which are pouring in from every state in the Union From men who are finding again that abundance of health which gives energy" and decision to a man's personality From women, young and old, who are rejoicng in the return of that freshness and glow which can come only from deep inner stores of buoyant health. Why is it that many people lose so early their freshness and ponsier? When your strength begins to slip away when you begin to show constant signs of vague ill-health, it is due to the fact that the body, from some deep underlying cause, is failing to perform two vital functions. Either it is failing to build up properly the living cells which compose it, or it is not throwing off the poisons that gather in-the intestines. The fresh, living cells of Fleischmann's Yeasty contain a natural food with the very elements which help the body perform these two vital functions. Like any other plant or vegetable. yeast produces the best results when fresh and "green". riot dried or "killed " Fleischniann's Yeast is the highest grade living yeast always fresh'. It is not a medicine, it is a natural food. Results cannot be expected unless it is eaten regularly. Eaten regularly, it helps to "tone" up the whole system and assures regular daily elimination. Three thousand years ago fresh yeast was used by Hippocrates, the famous physician of the ancient Greeks." Today Fleischmann's Yeast is being prescribed by physicians and hospitals everywhere. Eat two or three cakes a day. If 3ou prefer, get six cakes at a time. They will keep in a cool, dry place for severs! days. Begin at once to know what real health means. Be sure -you get Fleischmanns Yeast., All grocers have Bat it plain or spread it on crackers or rfix it with water or milk.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11. (Spec'al.) Already they are clearfng away the charred and water soaked debris which is the remains pf the two-alarm fir early this week in Miners' Bowery theater. There are a large number of vis itors who, surprisingly enough, have in the past few days gone to look at the smoke-grimmed front of the Italian melodrama and movie house. More surprisingly still, however, the visitors seem not so much In terested in that. They speak of Edwin Forrest, of Harrigan and Hart, of Maggie Mitchell and Mag gie Cline and Louise Lane, who be came Mrs. John Drew; of Mr. and Mrs. John Gilbert, of Fanny Wal lace, Roslna Shaw.

It's not long ago that the old Bowery theater was In its prime. Yet not' so long ago that' mothers and fathers, our grandmothers and grandfathers' went thither in pri vate coach or barouchet to see John Fletcher in his blonde wig as Ham let or Junius Brutus Booth in the "Last Days of Pompeii"; nor was it so long but that the old-timers who still live around the . Bowery . can tell yet and how this spot was the cradle of the American stage. "Ah, this was the great place," they declare. "In the days when everything was below Fourteenth street.' Not so many years back, either."

Old-Timers Jeplous. The chief smiled his wise smile: "It'd be sort of hard for us old timers to see this place go. We are growing a little jealous of our old landmarks." "Getting sentimental, chief?" the bystander inquired. "Go home and ask your father, son," the chief replied. When the 19th century was in swaddling clothes, smart New York paid 50 cents for a box seat, while less smart New York paid 25 cents for a seat in pit or gallery and grumbled at the cost. The audiences were not always forgiving. And in those days, be fore eggs, tomatoes and apples were in the jewelry class, an impatient audience Was something to be reck oned with and dodged. There was the night when Madame Francisquy Hutin made her debut in America as the first exponent on the Ameri can stage of the modern school of French dancing. Dancer Is Missed, In view of the follies of Isadora Duncan, and of mankind in general, if not of womankind, it is difficult to believe what happened. When the French woman leaped from the into " . 1 laze, u ;e 0endwor Name- Street- wings in her abbreviated fcallet skirts, there was a moment's horri fied silence, followed by a storm of hisses. Before the dance ended all'the women in the lower tier of boxes left the theater, with a fine switching of hoopskirts, for this was in the year of grace, 1837. They rang down the curtain on a bewildered and furious danseuse, n-or was she permitted to dance there again. Yet, nine years earlier, nobody hissed at Madame Celeste. It was Madame Celeste's custom to be dis covered as the curtain rose in ro mantic and scanty man's attire, somewhere near a turret with a bow and arrow in her hand. Her grace was so appealing that when Henry Elliott of Baltimore first saw her from his box his friends twitted him on his hopeless infatuation. "What do you mean hopeless?" he said in effect. "I bet you $500 I'll marry her within the month," which he did. Diabetes Cure Believed Found. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 11.
