SHOT BY HER OWN SISTER A Portland Woman Accidentally Injured While Visiting at Long. Beach. Mrs. N. J. lllmes, living In the Good noush building, was accidentally shot In the knee by her sister. Miss Morris, yes terday. Mrs. lllmes and her sister have been to the beach for a couple of days and indulged in hunting. It was early in the nicrtilng while preparing to go duck hunting that thu accident happened, AVhen seen this morning Miss Morris said. "Well (here isn't any story' to It. 1 Just pulled the trigger and away it went," It seems that they had arisen about t o'clock and Miss Morris having dressed first, was sitting on the side of the bed loading the gun while Mrs. Hlmes was icross the tent sitting on another bed w hen the gun was discharged, and part of the load struck her in-the knee. Dr. M. A. Flinn was summoned and dressed the . wound. lu:t said it was not serious x.s the heavy seam In the dress had ar rested the terce of the shot and they did not penetrate very deeply. About 45 shot entered the flesh and Mrs. Hi men will have these taken out this afternoon. The British ship Forest Hall, im tone registry, arrived lnat Astoria this morn ing at Wi from Hong Kong. She sailed from there July L FRAZM AT AN END -J No More Pardons in the Municipal Court, IMPORTANT SESSION The Mabel Robbins Case Sets a Precedent Fudges Have Exceeded Authority Hon. W. T. Hume, attorney for Mabel Robhlns, restrained of her liberty In the city Jail, brought out a decision in the Circuit Court today that Will have- the effect of eiullng the practice of suspen sions of sentences In the Municipal Court. . 1 Maliel Robbing, on July 4, was arrested by Ottioer Church on a charge of va grancy. She was charged with consort ing with vile persons, white and black. In the scarlet section-- of the city. She deposited $25 ball and was liberated until July 7, when belngv brought before the court, she entered a plea of guilty. It was the opinion of his honor that the city would be the gainer by her depar ture from It, so he imposed a sentence of 30 days In the city jail, but suspended the execution of such sentence on condi tion that the culprit absent herself from the municipality. This condition was t the request of the defendant, who was permitted to drawdown her ball money. The 30 days having mort than expired, the woman returned on Sunday morning, and within an hour Officer Church hud her In custody again. The contention was made that, having returned to Portland, the 30-day sentence was re vived, and that she must remain In pris on until Its expiration. No new charge was lodged against her. ' "r3tTaonotiy a 'ftgroMencT ol w. the worn an, who is white, .employed hbn. W. T. Hume to prosecute a writ of habeas cor pus for her release, and the matter came up before Judge Alfred Sears, Jr., at 10 o'clock today. Mr. Hume cited numerous authorities In many states going to show that Bus pension of sentence under any. condition had the effect of pardon. andMhat the court having once passed sentence could riot suspend it, as the pardoning power is vested solely In the chief executive of the state. Deputy City Attorney J. J. Fitzgerald freely admitted .. that Mr. Hume's point was well taken, and the court, after reference to several authori ties, granted the motion Of the counsel for Mabel Robbins, and she was set at liberty. The effect of this decision will be entire suspension of the police court practice of Imany yedrs of suspension of sentence Imposed upon convicted persons whom it was thought desirable to induce to leave the city. Nor- willj the municipal Judge hereafter remit fines after their imposi tion. "I am glad this question has been settled," Air. Fitzgerald said. "The court can, however, get around tt by Betting a time for future sentence. He can take such matters under advisement, give the accused his liberty, the understanding being, of course, that he will leave the city, and If he does not then bring him up again and pass sentence."

The young gentle man has been In the country an summer, and when the Mo-yor Informed him that a circus would be In town today and that an ex,tra tltcket was In waiting for Jilm, teh boy wrote back: "Thanks, father, but I don't care tor circuses. I am too busy out here-to be bothered with such nonsense. Have no time for. play." '. That ia the sort of an offspring that comes of such sturdy stock as that which Judge Williams is composed. ,v Skits and Flashes ' Switched. ' . A couple ot farmers residing near here each purchased a milch cow at one of the small agricultural towns down the river the other day and shipped them to Port land on a boat On the way up the small herd of two Increased to four in number probably in sympathy with the rising beef market Anyhow there were two cows and as many calves at their sides whence farmers put in an ap pearance to take them away to the green pastures. In their haste they got the calves mixed up and the wrong one was driven off with the right cow. The mis take wap not noticed until the farms were reached and then the truth dawned upon the purchasers in a twinkling. "Old Spot's" calf was with Bessie," and "Bessie's" darling was with "Old Spot." and when the hungry things proceeded to get their evening meals there was trouble In camp, followed by some tall kicking that would put to shame all similar feats performed at Shields' Park. There was only one thing which re mained to be done. The calves had to be exchanged or they would 'lie by slow starvation. The same thought seized each farmer at the same lime, and they hurried to town. Porlunxtfly they met with little difficulty and explanations and expostulations rapidly followed. .Then each made haste forborne and tocdt the almost famished babeto tneir weep ing mothers, land 'the while winged dove of peace again reigned supreme o'er the milky way. , Wanted a Fair Show. They were each proud of their exper iences and had reached a climax In story telling. They are at a local hotel. "it imorl tn fFeput'urettv aulck where 1 came from." said the doctor. "I have seen It freeze hard enough to drive horses on thejee ln two hours. Why. one night j in sprfhr," when I was a buy at home, we j had a; Bidden freeze up and the next j morning I went out on the pond Uack ot j our hojaf.t! and found forty dinks that had been frozen into the ice during the j night." "That if- pretty goou, ram ine juusj I "was a boy 'then. It was the first of Au gust and the corn was In the milk that Is about ready to eat. The. bears troubled it, a good deal; one morning I went out to the field, and found a bear eating the corn. I shouted and he started to run. He Jumped over a stone fence Into a snow pllo and got lh so deep that I knocked his bralnut With a club." The doctor looked at the Judge for two minutes and said". 'Hereafter you can tell your story first." It Was Up to Him. Travelers some times have rare and pe culiar experiences. One Is recorded of a man who spent a night at a country hotel up m Northern New England. It w one of those towns consisting of a store about the size 6'f an (SrtHnary clothing box and an apology for a hotel Then th trawler called for his bill and was shocked when the proporietor said $10. What, $10 for a night's lodging and breakfast?" shrieked the exasperated traveler. 'Yes, sir," said the proprietor. "You are the first man who has been here for two weeks and someone has got to pay the expenses of this place." One Woman's Trouble. Tou couldn't Ulume her, but there Is one little woman in Portland who will make a careful survey of her costume before she ventures on the streets again. She came sailing down Morrison street yesterday like a, ship under full sail while all around her the men smiled and the 'women giggled. At Fourth street she saw, something was wrong. Her puzzled expression ajt she eyed the smiling crowd and the way in which she broke ground for a friendly stairway made the people laugh for her back hair was down. 'R0UWD TOWN. The Elks' pony and team still holds the admiring gare of the boys on the street. Many c'.tjzens will change from wood to coal fuel for heating purposes this fall. Coal at present prices is said to be cheaper than wood. Portland Is being honored of late by a great number of visiting Senators. Does It have anything to do with the future Legislation of the Northwest in Con gress? Is the qeustlon from business men. "I think the best thing we could do to advertise Oregon is to have the Congress men come here and look the country over,' said a business man today, "When they do that, they will be willing to say a good word for us and also help us along in our bills in Congress." A mechanic returning home from his work last night on a bicycle ran into a fellow workman on Williams . avenue. Both riders were going slow at the time, knd no damage was done to either. One" of them was riding on the left hand side of the street, and evidently crowded the other wheelman too closely to the side walk. "There should be something done to keep our sidewalks cleared,", said a Third-street merchant. 'In many places throughout the city people allow wood and refuse from repairs to remain some times several days to the nuisance of the traveling public. It produces a bad Im pression in the minds of visitors also. It should be remedied." The people on .Washington street thought for a few moments this after noon that they were to see a volcanic eruption In front of the Imperial hotel. In soma way or other the wooden road way between the electric rails caught fire and a diminutive column of smoke curled Into the air in Increasing volumes. A pail of water extinguished the Mate. The second number of the Columbia River Basin Board of Trade has made Its appearance. It Is neatly printed, and Is full of valuable information for the home-seeker. The last few page of this Issue Is devoted to the list of members of tbe Board of Trade, also the names of From Day to Day MIMMMHMM ' When the Circus Didn't Come. - There were several 'hundred people In the depot yard waiting for the trains to come In. On man in particular had been waiting since noon and had succeeded in tiring himself out by jumping every time an engine whistled. "I don't care whether the circus comes dr not. I ain't going to wait any longer," he Bald. "I wouldn't look now If the whole menagerie was dumped right down there at my'foet. 1 wouldn't move two Inches to see1-" Just then some kids hollered "Here they come" and the man who wouldn't, ook lumped out into the middle of the track and hollered "Horray." lb was only an extra freight after all and the man set tled down to telling what he wouldn't a if the circus did com. From Auburn to Gray. A- young ludy and a very pretty young lady too, wtth violet eyes and tresses naturel, of that red golden hue Titian, loved to paint, got a half holiday from her labors In oue of our leading lrug stores yesterday afternoon. Imagine the scene; a charming girl elegantly gowned, a rough platform just over her head nnd on the platform a cloth, a janitor, and a bucket of whlto paint. In morning, the aimless foot caught the cloth, the bucket leaned over and with a- plunge descended straight on the golden locks aforesaid. A smothered oath above, an unsmotnered groan below, and the modern Venus came from hor bath, dripping like a mermaid. There were "silver threads among the gold," a ruined gown, a frightened dam sel, and n hund-palnted girl mad, mad clear through. Quite Naturally. It Is not always safe to read business letters on the street when a circus Is In town. A local business man received some Important letters from the pustof flce and started for his place of business. He first stepped on the superstructure of a ladies' dress In front of him and Kot a concentrated lecture o carelessness Next Its, jlL4.J-. ..'pArff-eii -if -L -i1rV i.r , "1 T who were awaiting the parade and came near betng knocked down." He took a turn to the left and a hanty messenger boy met him In the breakfast. A little further on he walked Into n telegraph pole and at the same time e woman took the vlnd out of his jib sail hm, running her parasol down his back. He calmly folded the letter, looked over the crowd for a moment and said: "Who la the fool?" " Safe Reckoning. Johnny, the son of a local clergyman, has reached the age of Ave years. One day hej accosted his mother nnd a'd: "Mama, how old Is God?" "Oh. Johnny, God Is very, very old; his age cannot be reckoned." replied the fond mother. "I thought he must be awful old." said Johnny, "for I have heard of him ever since I can remember." It Must Be So. "Why don't the circus come?" asked the impatient damsel who awaited its ar rival at the Union depot. "Tho elephant had his trunk checked to the wrong place." spoke up the listen er and she looked as though she believed it Had Got Enough. On a prominent business street xf Port land is the sign "Hot Air Baths." "I don't need anything of that kind," sai a business man reading the sign. "Why?" queried his friend. "I Just returned from Seattle," was the reply. A Curious Trade. Toward the North end of Third street, a sign, bearing the following inscription may be seen: "A boy wanted to learn a trade eighteen years old thut has no bad habits. Enquire within." members who have entered during the month of August. This shows quite a bi increase In membership. Requests for information about Oregon and the Northwest are .coming In right along to the Board of Trade. Among other requests received this morning is one from J. D. Jones, of Hill City, Ten nessee. Mr. Jones wishes general Infor mation about Oregon and Its resources. He writes that he has three sons two tin workers and an experienced clothing salesman and wishes. to settle in a new country, as Tennessee Is old and fin ished. The pieler for one of the side shows at the circus holds up two diminutive figures, one lressed as Mr. Punch and the other with a black face called Sam bo. For the amusement of the crowd he asks the small men pertinent questions and with a string running down Inside their clothes manipulates their Hps, supplying- the words himself, and being a very good ventriqulst manages to keep the credulous mystified by emitting the sound without perceptible moving of the Hps. The hotels In the city were running over with guests yesterday, due to the big circus which Is in town. As a con sequence when the Elder arrived from San Francisco last night there was only one hotel 'bus to ' meet her. This was one from the Qutmby House. Ordinarily all the hotels have their 'busses there when the steamer arrives and make ao effort to secure all the passengers they can. When the travelers saw that they were In for It and would have to walk up to town they poured vials of wrath upon .the heads of the hotel proprietors for their negligence, ' , DEATH NOTICE, .

There will be a famine In the crop of teachers for -the suburban schools If the present rate of resignation keeps up. Last week the Directors of the St Johns dis trict received notice of the resignation of one of the best teachers In the school. The reason she assigned was considered t!L-rtfKS2:i Director had nothlna else to do but t Director had nothing else to do but to accept The Directors Of the Mqunt Tabor dls-' trlct were surprised the other day by re ceiving the resignation of one of the teachers and as was the case at St. Johns, it happened to be one of the best In the district.
