Then sho has It on tho run;
Then she thinks that Honey's right;
Then slcs Fulton on to fight.
"When tho socialists say "scat!"
Polly's there with gaudy hat;
When tho dems say they will win;
Says Polly " Tis a cinch; go In!"
When the prohls to their strength
Polly hesitates: at length
Sho says, "It Is my dearest wish
To cast my vote with tho prohlblsh!"
When tho reps say, "We're ahead!"
Sho says "Of course; the rest aro

Polly Ticks is free from guile,
But keeps 'em guessing all tho while.
When a man thinks he Is "it,"

last evening to learn that a telegram
had been received from him setting
at rest tho painfuljsuspenso which
connected him with the Denver
tragedy, In which a man of similar

samo age, was identified. Mr. Adler's
friends were all loatlito beilevo the

for tho fact that the man of the same
name, age and similar occupation
was mentioned, it would not have
been thought of. Among tho tele
grams sent from Marshfleld was one
by Charles Howard, president of the
Marshfleld aerie of Eagles, of which
Adler was a member. Last evening

City Council Passes Sabbath
Closing Ordinance at Last
Session.
THE DANCE HALLS MUST GO
Cannot Be Operated Inside the
City Limits Refuse Tel
ephone Franchise.
Tile North Bend city council at Its
last session went on record In favor
of strict saloon regulation and passed
an ordinance providing for Sunday
closing, the elimination of the dance
halls from tho city limits, and re
fused an additional license.
The action taken is sort of a com
promise between the prohibitionists,
saloon regulatlonists and wide-openers.
It is understood that the pro
hibitionists have agreed not to start
any local option agitation If night
and Sunday closing is adhered to,
and the dance halls forced outside of
the city limits. A concession to tho
wide-openers is that the license will
be reduced from $800 to ?500, and
this will probably bo granted at tho
next session. Councllmen Mandigo,
Van Zile and Coleman voted In favor
of the new ordinance and Moss and
Faulkensteln against, Hoeck being
absent.
The application of Robert Marsden,
the Marshfleld wholesale liquor deal
er, for a permit to open a saloon at
the corner of Virginia and Sherman
streets was laid on the table for the
third time. This is taken to be a re
fusal. "Judge" Beloto's application for a
telephone franchise was also laid on
the table again, and Mr. Belote de
cided to withdraw it. In calling It
up again, ho informed Mayor Simp
son and tho council that ho either
wished it granted or rejected. They
refused to do anything aside from
laying it on tho table, so ho with
drew It.

Sad and Unusual Accident That
Nearly Results in Double
Tragedy.
CHILD AND PARENT
INJURED AT SAME TIME
Falling Tree Kills Baby Girl and
Fractures Father's
Skull.
Little Mabel L. Bronson, tho thir
teen months old daughter' of Mr. and
Mrs. Russell Bronson, of Bay Park
addition, was struck and Instantly
killed by a falling tree near the fam
ily homo yesterday afternoon, under
peculiarly distressing circumstances'.
Tho little child had been playing
around the yard, and In somo man
ner fell and bruised her head. Child
like sho ran crying to her mother,
who sought to sootho and comfort
her. The little girl continued weep
ing and tho mother carried her out
into tho yard, where the father was
at work clearing the lot, hoping to
distract her attention from tho slight
hurt which sho had received. In a
little time the father had tho baby
crowing and cooing with laughter.
While they wero talking and
amusing th ebaby, one of tho trees
which was being burned in tho
work of clearing tho lot swayed and
fell directly In tho mother's, path
way. Ono of tho largo limbs pro
truding from tho treo struck tho
child on the hend with such forco
that the baby skull was crushed like
an eggshell, killing the little one al
most instantly in the mother's arms.
Another peculiar feature of this
unusual accident was that the trunk
of the same tree fell outwards with a
great snapping, and striking tho
father on his head, cracked his skull
and knocking him unconscious for
somo time, and inflicting a most pain
ful and serious wound. Tho mother
escaped with a few slight bruises on
ono wrist and somo minor scratches.
Dr. Mlngus was summoned and
dressed tho father's wound, which,
while serious, may not bo necessarily
fatal.
Tho only witness of tho accident
was Dan S. Orr, who was working
with Bron osn clearing the patch of
ground. Ho saw tho treo starting to
fall and called out a warning, but too
late to save tho unfortunate victims.
Mr. Bronson Is now lying at the homo
of Mrs. Orr In a precarious condition.
Tho Bronsons havo removed to
Coos Bay recently from Idaho and
purchased property In Bay Park
addition, which was being cleared
preparatory to building a home. Tho
mother Is almost crazed with grief
over tho tragedy and double affliction '
which bears so heavily upon her with
its burden of sorrow and anxiety for
the llfo of her husband. Tho sym
pathy of the entire community will
go out to her In her dark hour of
sorrow and despair. It Is understood
that Mr. Bronson used most of his
means in making payment on his
property, and this accident will bo a
serious ono for them in a financial
way.
