Since then he haa not been permitted to leave the house unat tended. - The temperature of the Invalid waa extremely high and hla daughter, Car rie Uludgett spent the entire night at his bedside, leaving him early tn the morning when he appeared to be rest ing. She had hardly left the room when the sightless old man arose and wandered away. On her return a few minutes later and the discovery of his absence a search waa begun In which fHends assisted.

The California Northwestern Rail road has suffered greater Inconven ience this year In keeping Its road open to traffic than for 10 years past com bined. The county roads in many places have also been blockaded by numerous email landslides ana alto gether the present season is one of the worst within the memory of the oldest Inhabitant. It is rapidly passing the time when crops can be planted to in sure good yields and the long-continued rains have prevented this being done previously this season. T,he grounds in the lowlands are so thor oughly soaked It is Improbable that even with the sunshine of the next couple of weeks replacing the rains the grou-id could be gotten into condition for crops this year. Home residents of the county will have to depend on vol unteer crops, but these are usually sufftetent for all needs. The record this season is about 15 Inches of rain more than at a corres ponding date lost season. STOLE VALUABLE JEWELRY.

New stories of old days In the brush leagues, when Chief Borchers was a hot one with the ball, are filtering through the papers . nowadays, and there are some first class yarns among them. The old chief will be well re membered by the fans of Portland. Last exr he pitched for McCloskes San Francisco team in the Pacific Coast League and he has been on the coast for some time. One of the. best stories relates to a game that the chief pitched in Wat- sonvllle, Cal against George Harper, and won. There was a lot of money bet On the game,Tand among those who" proflte3mosT Ty Borcher's fine work was a San Jose fan, who went over to Watsonvllle with the team The chief knew that the fellow won a bunch on the game and he also knew that he was as tight as the bark on the tree when he came to sharing the spoils.with another. Borchers thought he was entitled to a piece of the winnings, but he did not feel like going to him and asking for it, so he adopted other tactics which he thought would produce fruit ful results. There was a big Swede working as a porter in the hotel at Watsonvllle, where the team was stay ing, and Borchers picked him out as the right man to serve aa his confed erate. " Calling the Swede off to one side, Borchers said to him: "Here is $5. Now you take this money and when you see me talking to that fellow over there," pointing out the San Jose plunger, "you come over and say to me, 'Here, Mr. Borchers, Is $6. You pitched a fine game; buy" yourself something." When the chief thought he had the Swede properly scooled he left him, and In an unconcerned way engaged the plunger In question in a conver tlon about matters in general. After a lapse of 10 minutes or so the Swede approached and spoke thus: "Here.Mr. Borchers, here is your money back," and then walked away. The chief never turned a hair, but those who knew him can fan.y the kind of taJ1t he gavo his confederate the first time he caught him alone. Umpire Jack O'Connell tells another rtory of Borcher's days in the brush leagu: "Borchjrs didn't draw enor mous crowds down at San Jose," says Jack. "Aa a matter of fact there were more people hanging on the fences than were In the grounds. I remem ber one day Borchers walked out on the field and eyed the railbirds con temptuously. But for the ladles pres ent he would have delivered himself of few oaths, but he didn't. As he turned to begin practice he noticed two fellows drop from the fence into the grounds. Charley Doyle's brother was groundkeeper'at the time. Calling him over to the sidelines, the chief said to him sternly: "Doyle, for every man or boy who gets into these grounds free I will dock you 25 cents on your day's wages.' Doyle was a witty fellow. He looked at Borchers a minute and then said: If three more crawl over the fence I would owe you 25 cents, so I guess I'd better resign before 1 Inyour debt,' and he walked away. Borchers was paying Doyle 50 cents a day for keeping up the grounds." CHORAL CONTEST REVISED. Bureau of Music at World'a Fair Makes Changes in Program. St. Louis, March 30.
