Biversdale Farm For Rent. Some time ago the Plaikokaub men tioned the elopement of an old man and a young woman from Albany and the following communication from that city gives some sensational news regarding the same: Albany, May 21. Mrs. Maxfield at tempted to kill Otho Hall, who recently eloped with her 17-year-old daughter, Charlotte Maxfield, in this city yester day evening. She met Hall, who had just returned with her daughter, now his wife, and after a brief conversation, pointed a pistol at him and fired. The bullet was partially intercepted by two buttons. After the first shot bad been fired Hall started to run, and Mrs. Maxfield emptied her revolver at him, firing five more shots. She was immediately disarmed and was soon ar rested and placed in the county jail. The shooting occurred at the corner of Second and Baker streets, about 7:86 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Hall had just arrived on the Albany local, and were on their way to the home of some friends. They were met at the depot by several friends. Mrs. Maxfield met the party and requested her daughter to leave Hall and come with her. The girl refused; saying she had married Hall and intended to remain with him. George Hall, a resident of South Al bany, who was walking with his broth er, attempted to dissuade Mrs. Max- geld from causing any trouble, and said the matter was settled by the marriage, and she should look at it philosophic ally. Mrs. Maxfield gave him peremp tory orders to "keep his mouth shut," and then asked her son-in-law if he re membered that she had told him he must leave the girl alone or she would kill him. Hall said he remembered what she had said, and she then drew a revolver and fired. She was directly in front of the object of her attack, and the pistol was only a few inches from his body The bullet struck two buttons and glanced, but still inflicted a painful, but not serious wound on the abdomen. Hall immediately started to run. Five more shots were fired at him. The shots went wild, one of them going through a window of a residence near by. Charles and Guy Benight, who were with Hall seized the frenzied Mrs. Max field and held her until a policeman ar rived and placed her under arrest. 1 Hall, who was a widower, about 55 years old, and Charlotte Maxfield. a 17- year-old girl, eloped from Albany on the night of Tuesday, May 5, and went to Aumsville. From there they went di rectly to Vancouver, Wash., uear which city some of Hall's relatives reside. The couple were married at Brush Prairie, Clark county, Washington, Sat- rday, May 9. They remained there until last Monday, when they came to Miller's Station, four miles north of Albany. Hall sent word to several friends that he would arrive home yes terday evening-on the Albany local, and he was met at the depot by his friends. Since the elopement Mrs. Maxfield has been meeting the evening southbound trains almost constantly. Aa the fates would have it, last evening was the first time she was not at the depot at the arrival of the Albany local since Hall and her daughter left the city. She was, however, on Lyon street, which leads to tbe depot, and was on the look out. Mr. and Mrs. Hall and their friends left Lyon street and started east on Third street, but Mrs. Maxfield bad Been them and hurried to intercept them when they left Third street and were walking along Baker-street on their way to First street. The circumstances leading up to the elopement and the consequent shooting anairwereoi the sensational and ro mantic nature. Hall and another were desirous of winning the affections of Charlotte Maxfield. and Hall was suc cessful. But Mrs. Maxfield alno had matrimonial designs on Hall, and since she couldn't make him her husband she wouldn't allow her daughter to "cut her out." Mrs. Maxfield told Hall not to marry her daughter, and threatened to kill him if he did. Hall claims that one Curtis, who paid attention to Miss Maxfield, has encouraged Mrs. Max field from the beginning, and has aided her in attempting to carry out her threat. Mrs. Hall says the revolver her mother used was the property of Curtis, and he will probably be arrested today aa an accomplice. The girl remains true to Hall and says she will stay with him. day with her people near Rnokles. Miss. Pearl Tweedy went to Rose burg, Monday to spend a few days. lira. A. E. Shira went to Port land!

Cannon at residence corner of Oak and Pine, or at th Senate Saloon, Roseburg. Bishop Potter, ol New York City, has always stood as a champion of organized labor. Last Friday when speakimron labor unions at adinner of the Civic Club of Orange said: The conditions whicl; confront the people of America are large' ly of their own making. He declared that one person had more to do with the situation than any one else and that was the manager of a shop or factory, not because he tried to understand the in tercets of the workingman, but because he wanted to get all he possibly could out of the workingman or his employer, nothing more. I believe," said Bishop Potter "the folly of the labor organization in several instances has alienated a ureat deal of the sympathy tnat would otherwise have gone to them. Ono thing we must realize is that the community is not made up of either laborers or capitalists, but rather of those between who are very largely affected by theso differ ences. "The tirjo will come when organized labor may make itself so unpleasant that it may not be able to stay in New York. The great stubling block in or ganized labor is that the freedom of the C. W.

The Riddlo Hotel Is being thoroughly renovated and repaired. Tho outaid s being re-painted, while inside the woodwork -and calcimining are being re-done, and in a few days moro the place will look as trim as a race yatch under sail. E. J. Slbbald, of Chicago, was in Rid die last woek. Riddle Queen of tbs Umpqua. Situated in one of the most beautiful and fertile valleys of which the great state of Oregon can boast, nestling in quiet contentment among the foothills of the lofty Cascades, Riddle has right to be known as one of the prettiest little towns in Oregonfamous for its beauti fuf scenery. The present townslto was a part of tho farm originally owned by J. B. Riddle, for whom the town Is named. When the railroad pushed up from Frisco about twenty-three years ago, tho town was laid off in town lots and since then the growth has been slow but constant, and from tho numbers of new people now being attracted to Oregon, Riddle is receiving her full quoto. The town is well built up for one ot its size, has fine, wide streets and good walks throughout the residence portion, and adding not a little to tho attractiveness of the place is tbe interest the bouse holdere take in flower culture, and here as all over the stats flowers at tain a degree of perfection unnknown to roost localities. The station though small is a trim little building and connecting it with the hotel, which is of quite pretentious size and appear ance, is a broad gravJl walk. There are many pretty and commodious homes here, a good school building where about 200 children attend school, a pretty little church where cervices are conducted each Sunday by ministers of different denominations, two general merchandise stores, a drug store, a blacksmith shop and one saloon. The town is situated at aa elevation some thing over seven hundred feet above sea, winch insures a healthful and de lightful climate, and when one looks out at the fertile valley, quiet, trreen. fruitful; at tbe verdant knolls and wooded hills rising to the higher peaks beyond, hazy and blue in the distance, one realizes how much the people of1 Riddle have to make them the prosper ous, healthy, happy folk they are.

The Russian Government baa received i representations from the United States in regard to the Kwhinef mas sacres, beyond an inquiry, through Am bassador McCoruiick, several days ago, hetler tbe money and supplies which were being one red irom America for the sufferers ceptable to the Russian Government. The Foreign Office replied that while it greatly appreciated the American gen erosHy, there was no need for relief, as the wanta of the inhabitants of Kiahinef were looked after. There is no doubt that whila Russian officials might regret the Kisbinef massacres, they equally re sent what they call the "anti-Russian agitation in America," which they claim is fomented by the "influential English press."

Tbe Negro Question. the Communications received by the Jew ish relief societies of England frota Kishencff, Kieff andothcr cities in south Russia indicate that the movement against tho Jews has almost universal support. It is stated that this fact is frequently disguised, but is also some times openly avowed. The pohco and soldiers are represented as utterlvcal- ons to the sufferings even of women and children, except where the attention ot high officials has been directly called to the outrages. Thousands of Jews are migrating southward, often without any definite idea of whither they are bound or of how to obtain food by the way. Tho forced exudus frum Kieff alone involves 37,000 persons, whose losses from the sale of immovable property under duress run into millions of rubles. The most eriuvous aMx ct of tho situation is that The Reverend Dr. Parkharst of New York in an interview published on Sat urday, said: "Since my return from the South, I have been informed that some of my critics have accused me of expressing regrets that slavery days are over. That is not true. I have merely said that most of the niggers are unfit for the responsibilities of citizenship. call them n:rers becauso that is what they call themselves and because the word has been accepted among educated people in the South "I did not go down into the Southland to win popularity by expressing views concerning the race problem such aa Southerners approve.
