Sylvester Harrison, a note character of South ern Kansas, Is missing from the city and charges have been made against him In the Sedgwick county court ly Mrs. Katie Cathers, In which shb alleges that ho has with him $10, 000 of her money, secured from her In what she says was a clever real estate swindle. Harrison is a rich retired farmer, inheriting more than ?50,000 from his wife. He drew out of the local banks something like 520,000 and with the $10,000 drawn out of the National Commerce Bank on a check signed by Mrs. Cathers, he left the city. Charles Carrey, cashier of the National Commerce Bank, saw Harrison place the $10, 000 In currency In a grip. At the Fourth National Bank he drew $2, G00. niacins It in the grip also. Three other banks report similar drafts from them, the money being placed In the grip. The telegraph and telephone wires are being used in every direction in order to get trace of Harrison. He stated to a local newspaper man that he had a scheme to clean up ?10,u00 Besides the charge of embezzlement of the $10,000 from Mrs. Cathers, Harri son Is also charged with passing spurious checks aggregating more than $1000. The accused was shot through the head at Bonesteel, S. D., during the land opening at that place, and since that time has been trie for Insanity, but found sane.

As a re sult of the long dry-spell and the re sulting lack of succulent food sheep are dying all over eastern Oregon. Thus far the lossos of individual growers have not been heavy, but al most all of those whose sheep have been placed on winter ranges have suffered some. It appears the loss has been heav iest in Morrow and Gilliam counties, Umatilla growers have lost some. At Arlington, Smythe & Son have lost In tho neighborhood of 200 head, and William Smith, another large grower of that section has met with a sim ilar loss. Several are losing at the rate or 10 a day. The sheep men vary In opinion re garding the cause of the deaths, some believing that the sheep are be ing poisoned, and others that the change to the dry grass after being brought In from the green mountain grass is harmful. Under the rules of the forestry bureau the sheep must be taken from the summer range In the reserves by October 18, and as a result the sheep were brought In early in October. Since then they have been dying slowly in various localities. The sheepmen say a good rain would re lieve the situation. On Wednesday we will offer some decided bargains in Shirtwaistb.

NOTES OF OREGON'S CONSTANT PROGRESS (Special Correspondence.) Portland, Ore., Oct. 28. Business men retiming from the East are unanimous In predicting an enorm ous immigration to Oregon during the coming year. People residing In Jie great cities of New York, Chica go, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston, I'ittsburg, Cincinnati and other pop ulous centers never expressed so much anxiety to hear about this coun try as nt present 'and the same idea is rellected through the correspondence of the Portland Commercial Club, much of which is originating in the cities named above. Judge John M. Scott, of Salem, president of tho State Good Hoads Association, Is conducting an active campaign In behalf of the Good Roads Meeting to be held In the rooms of the Portland Commercial Club November 14 and 15. Judge tscott desires that every commercial, industrial, agricultural, horticultural, and irrigation organization in the state to send delegates. President Ed. T. Judd, of the Ore gon State Dairy Association, reports constantly increasing interest In the big state meetings to be held in Port land December 12th and 13th. Con stant additions are being made to the piizts, and an active committee is at work. It is desired above everything else that the farmers be present on this occasion. Oregon never received a stronger endorsement than the following from the pen of Professor Charles Curtis, uf the Ames, Iowa, Agricultural Col leg: "There is nowhere on the face of the globe a land or people so domin ant lu the Improvement of live stock or so potent in the production of the highest types of domestic animals as the British Islands. There is no where on the American continent a region affording conditions so close lyallied to those of Great Britain as on the North Pacific Coast of the United States. The similarity is noticeable, not only In climatic con ditions and natural environment, but also in the genuine enthusiasm and deep-seated faith in the industry possessed by the tillers of tho soil." The Eugene Commercial Club has employed Mr. John H. Hartog, of California, to take charge of their Hiblicity campaign at a salary of 5000 a year. Mr. Hartog will be n important factor In the develop-1$, meat of Oregon, for California lias Of nnvfr rlpvplnnpfl n hrichtnr mnn In ' V r. , V7 i Z ,i " I wiu uuvuiusiufc; lint:.

He was on the water front and some bo'dy induced him to get into a row boat. Ho landed In the boat and then fell into the bay, but clung with one arm to the boat. Several people around the premises did not have presence of mind to rescue the little fellow, but three boys came to his aid, George Davenport, Albert Dawson and James Barnett, and got him safely out. He was none the worse for his ducking and was not frightened. Stoves and ranges wood.

There Is no reward for his capture, but since he is an es-t-ay, the small boys could mnke a stako by having a pig race and capt uring it. Overlook Us when You Want Something Good at the Right Price.
