PLAY THE GAME All sorts of men who have suc ceeded in all sorts of ways aro asked for rules that will insure success In the world, and they give all sorts of answers. Here are threo rules laid down by a baseball pitcher, Cy Young, who has been a "big leaguer" for seventeen years: LIvo a temperate life. Render faithful service to your employers. Play the game for all you are worth at all times. Pretty good rules for a young baseball player to follow pretty good rules for any young man to follow, says an exchange. Sooner or later success Is bound to come to tho young man who 13 temperate and plays the game for all he is worth. A St Louis man has recently been married because ho refused to take a dare. Some men will risk anything rather than take a dare. rrriiE ELECTION "The peoplo of Marshfleld have de trJfled lo continue Mayor Straw and jtjjs policies ior anotner two years. T&at Mayor Straw Is progressive no Sitifly lias denied. That ho Is honest Sat ills purposes has been repeatedly sincrted by his opponents as well as 2ius irionds. That ho is a man of In iSEaigcnco and fully ablo to appreciate rvtTic necessities of tho municipal sltu- axfinn, when ho has discovered what Xhpj- are, Is a fact which tho peoplo tran congratulato themselves upon. Marshfleld has much to do during fjjs next two years and tho mayor ana city council will havo moro to 5o than any similar body has had -.ilncu Marshflold became a city.

Certainly thoso who oiive charge of Its political destinies ''vt the next two years aro ns earn--nilj' and honestly anxious for its 3rtKresB as nny of its citizens. Tho "IRines now moves to mako tho ro tUacUon of Mayor Straw unanimous. "Can a man be a Christian on ?5.00 a week," asks a religious pa per. Ho possibly can because It would bo difficult to bo a devil of a follow on that sum. There is talk all over tho country nowadays about an "elastic cur rency." Great Scott! That's noth ing new to a newspaper man. Ho is compelled to learn early In tho game how to "stretch" a dollar.

The sea carried away the door knocking her back senseless. She will recover. Details by mall. Every body else well and happy. B. W. OLSON It is evident, from this that Pyott had left his stateroom in violation of instructions from the crew. Fur ther particulars of the sad accident will be awaited with Interest. Tho Portland papers devote much space to the delay in the arrival of the Alliance. Tho Journal paid tho following compliment to Capt. Olson and crew: "Tho Alliance is in command of Captain B. Olson, who Is considered not only a most careful but also com petent navigator, and she is manned by a crew of experienced hand3 from tho officers down, most of them hav ing been on board for several months. While Captain Olson Is known to bo daring in case of an emergency, ho also bears the reputation of being cautious. A largo number of Portland peoplo aro supposed to be among tho pas sengers as usual and their friends aro beginning to feel seriously alarm ed in view of tho stormy weather that has prevailed along tho coast for several days. Many inquired anxiously at tho Couch street dock yesterday afternoon as tho hours passed on and no word of cheer came from tho lookout at North Head, who reports shipping at the mouth of tho Columbia. Tho Gray Steamship company of San Francisco has operated tho Alli ance on the Portland-Coos Bay route for several years and she met with only a few accidents in that time. Four or five months ago tho steamer City of Panama ran Into her near tho mouth of tho Willamette and cut a deep gash in her stern, but the hull was repaired and strengthened and made as seaworthy as over. Her last trip up was ono of tho stormiest ever experienced. To steady her In tho awful cross sea Captain Olson hoisted canvas but It was blown into shreds before It was fairly placed. The steamer rodo out the storm in fine shape, however, and crossed In over an ugly bar." THE WINNING TICKET Mayor. . i L. j. Simpson UccoideV John Gartner. Treasurer rrlui-Minl A. P.

But to do any or all of this, tho administration needs the support and friendly encouragement and help of all tho peoplo. "So far as I may bo ablo to effect them, thoso changes and improve ments ,which I havo heretofore recommended, and such others as changing conditions may mako ad visable will bo made just as soon as practicable.

A special dis patch from Washington to tho Inter Ocean says: Ono of th liveliest rows that ever occurred at Whito House took place between President Roosevelt and Senator Scott, of West Virginia, becauso the president was told what Scott believed to be tho truth about the money situation. President Roosevelt asked tho West Virginian who was being blamed for tho critical condition which the country was now facing. "Do you wish mo to givo you a frank and truthful answer?" in quired Senator Scott. "Certainly," replied tho president. "I really desire to know what Is the opinion of tho people." "Everyone blames you, Mr. Presi dent, for tho unfortunate condition of the country. You havo requested mo to bo frank with you and I will say that nearly overy person with whom I havo discussed tho situation has declared that tho agitation against corporations and tho busi ness interests of the country, which is directly attributable to you, Is re sponsible for tho disturbance. "They believe If thero should bo less talk, less denunciation, and If tho laws should bo enforced In a regular and orderly manner without the flourish of trumpets, tho count ry would bo greatly benefitted." This frank statement was too much for President Roosevelt, who lost his temper and used some vig orous language, which was not pleasing to Senator Scott. The wrath of tho president was great and ho told Senator Scott that he was not a friend of the ad ministration and that ho had been misinformed.
