lagher, known in police and labor cir
eles as "Black Jack, tho Slurger," and
accused of more acts of violence in
strikes than any other one man in
Chicago's labor binary, died at KM
home yesterday. Stomach trouble supl
erimlueed by the strain and worry re
iiltm from ceaseless prosecution, was
the caue of his death.
Gallagher was 22 years old, and in
appearance was as different from the
popular conception of the professional
lugger" as could be imagined. lie
took great pride in his appearance and
was seldom, if ever, seen under the
influence of liquor. While he weighed
but ninety pounds at the time of his
death,, three years ago Gallagher weigh
ed 180, and he was able to strike a blow
that would render his victim uncon
ckms instantly. When arrested by the
police in connection with some crime,
no amount of "sweating" could make
him talk. On more than one occasion
his friends sav, he was submitted to
rough treatment by the police, but he
always maintained a dogged silence.
Although frequently arretted by the
police and on at leant one occasion kept
in jail for several week, he was never
convicted of a crime.

Harriman System Officers Take Definite
Action.
The general passenger department of
the Oregon Railroad A Navigation Com
pany, and the Southern Pacific Com
pany line in Oregon, have recently is
sued a circular of which the following
is a part and which shows the interest
of the officers of the Harriman system
in the welfare of the State and its up
building:
"A Joint convention of THE OREJON
DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE AND THE
OREGON TRESS ASSOCIATION will
lie held in the parlor of the Portland
Commercial Club on Friday and Satur
day, January 12 and 13, 1'JfKi. General
setoions of the two oiganiations will
be held both day from 9 a. m. until
12:30 p. m. In the afternoon buncsa
sessions of the PRESS ASSOCIATION
and sectional meeting of the LEAGUE
will be held in the different parlors of
the club. Special entertainment will be
prepared for all by the Portland Com
mercial Club.
"The theme of the convention will be
THE COMMONWEALTH OF ORE
GON, ITS RESOURCES AND OPPOR
TUNlTIES.'
"The coast counties, Eastern, Central
al Southern Oregon will be represented
by the best and most forcible speakers.
Thit meeting will bring together men
who take an active interest in the de
velopment and publicity of the State,
and should prove not only interesting
to thoe who attend but very beneficial
aUo.
"The Lewis k Clark Exposition did
much to bring the State into promi
nence and THE GOOD WORK SO
WELL STARTED MUST BE CON
TINUED if the desired results are to
be secured.
"That the. officers of the narriman
system have faith in Oregon is shown
by the fact that $4,160,000 has been set
afclde for construction of new railroads
within the confines of the State during
the coming year, making a total .of
124,000,000 the Harriman lines will ex
pend for the years 1905-6.
"You will, I am sure, agree with me
when I say that the time is very oppor
tune for Mieb a gathering. The strong
est and best men of your citv and
county should attend the convention
and lend their aid in organising an ag
gressive campaign of publicity and pro
mot ion.
"Your local re your Board of
Trade and any organiation in your
vicinity that stands for the up-biuld
ins of the State xhoutd see that it is

Mr. Kidder, who is responsible for mors

other efforts and give to us a piece
that for stirring situations, startling
cjimaxes, as well as heart-touching in
terest cannot be surpassed, Manager
Newell has cast "A Jolly American
Tramp" with care, selecting only arl
tists eminently fitted for their respec
tive roles. Comedy and pathos richly
blending .touching that well-spring of
emotion, the heart, and canning the
risibilities of it beholders to broaden
from a smile into a hearty laugh, may
be expected. The cat- includes Mia

that will bring smiJies, comedy that will
cause laughter, and sensational cit
maxes that will thrill all who witness
the startling situations contained in
