sucker is born every minute. The ele
ments which enter Into his success are
plenty assurance and plenty of materiai
to work on." The great trouble of the or
dinary fakir ia to get a crowd to listen
to his "Hyleling." To successfully do
this wonderful diplomacy must be dis
played. After a crowd has congregated

ia at the present one operating in the
city who ia an artist in his calling. He
ia out after the coin and gets it. He
pay CO a day into the. city treasury for
the privilege of selling things of more
or less value on the public streets.
DRAWING CROWDS.
His method of drawing a crowd, to sep
arate them from their silver, is original
and spectacular. He has a buggy, from
which he sells his wares. He places a.
young man in the vehicle blindfolded, and
place in his hand a large blunderbuss.
He then leads the crowd to infer that
he will hypnotise the boy and have him
snoot an apple from his head while in
that condition. Further, that he will
throw a large corn knife at the boy, who,
while under the spell, will catch it in his
band. While making preparations for
this unique feat, he keeps up a rapid
fire talk, explaining the difficulties of
the act and offering 10,000 to anyone
who can' perform It successfully. These
preparations never fall to draw a large
crowd. About the time the people are
led to believe that the big-thing is about
to come off, the fakir gets in the buggy.
-and -gives- out that torane startHng"
trick of shooting and catching a sharp
.knife takes place, he will, as aa evidence
of good faith, perform some preliminary
miracles. One of these is the rope trick,
the crowd presses nearer to see him re
move the tightly knotted rope from about
his throat without untieing It.
ARE HANDED DIAMONDS.
When the suckers are all nicely lined
up the scene shifts. From a valise are
taken : a mimber of boxes containing
large, sparkling paste diamonds, which,
accordlngNtp the talk of the street mer
chant, are better than the real thing and
outnhlne the gems of the Prince of Incjla.
They are so perfect that not even an ex
pert can distinguish thera from the
straight goods. After "shooting the

Bitting 4ust within the shelter of, the
County Coui thousa during he drixsllng
tain yesterday Mr. and Mis. Jacob
Schrtiit, who live on a ranch three miles
from TroufCnle, awaited tha appearance
of Sheriff frtory, who nevr caire. The
afflicted courie T.ere told thai t'.ie sher
ln cr one f hi deputies wouh; iAow. yp
at his office during the afternoon, even
though it were Sunday.
The story told by the father and mother
was pitiful, and shows a villain'3 duplic
ity, when a confiding young gist's con
fluence is secured.
Said Mrs. Soli rent; "About a month
ago I was visiting in Vancouver with a
relative. My Uttle daughter Venie ac
companied me, and together we'were en
joying ourselves as I thought consistent
with propriety. We did not do otherwise
than observe the conventionalities of
visitors, and as Vancouver is a small
place there were only a few callers to the
house. As I remember, only one man
was among those that was welcome, and
he represented that he was an officer
In the United Btates Army.
"Venle Is a very pretty girl, end only
17 years of age. ' She was at once ad
mired by the captain, as we called him.
He did not seem aggressive, hut rather
moderate In his attentions to my daugh
ter. "When we left Vancouver for' ourl
home Captain Jansln as he gave
his name, said he would writ?, and If op
portunity allowed he would call at our
ranch. "
TX weeks ago he drove up in a
carriage, and we were glad to se Ijtm.
The man stayed only a few hours and
said he would have to leave for Port
land where 'he had important business.
He said he would write, or see us again.
He wrote twice within fou.- days, and
on Saturday the lith of this month- he
called. This time he walked t;-m Trout
dale. We entertained the man for a
day. and during that time he was very
attentive to Venle. althougn neither her
father nor myself thought anything of It.
Last Thursday the young Klrl . received
a letter from Janslu, but she rcemed re
luctant to say more than he hnJ given
his kindest regards to all of us.
LEAVES HER HOME.
'Friday morning my young daughter,
asked if she could go to Portland and
Jm . OMKuLh..0.j lr. .Th,nK-
lng there would be no harm 1 granted her
desire, and so did her fathr. Since that
time we have beard not a word from her
and I am convlned that she has been
led away by this man who tailed himself
Jansln. but we have found that no such
an officer or" soldier Ts ajp)Sinbr of the
post at Vancouver. I suspect that the
fellow Is a discharged soldier, or maybe
worse, a Drocurer."
Mr. Schrent was told by a Journal re
porter that it would be better te await
the sheriff Monday morning, ir else see
the chief of police. He replied that h
must find his daughter, and would first
take a street car to Vancouver and as
certain If anything had been heard from
her there. The reporter escorted the
coimle to a 4 o'clock (r.
This afternoon word was received that
nothing of the whereabouts of the young
girl or her abductor had been gained.
Mrs. Schrent. who telephoned the'ln
formation, said that the police of Port
land and adjacent places had been noti
fied.

Liar and Coward
Ex-Ctistoms Collector Says He Is
Mot a Candidate ior .
Alaskan Of.icc.
Last evenins; Mr. t. W Ivey, ex-col,
lector of customs for Alaska, left Port
land for Seattlvnoute for Washington,
where he-goes as the representative of
tilt miners of Alaska, in their endeavor
to gain recognition of their iieds from
the federal, government. " While here an
article Id The Journal which, called at
tention to the fact that Mr. Ivey was a
possibility as the next governo,- of Alaska
was replied to by Mr. Cabell Whitehead
through the columns of the evening edi
tion of the newspaper trust In Portland,
and to this epistle the appended state
ment ly Mr. Ivey makes answer In his
usual Mgorous style:
Editor of The Journal A f?w evenings
go your paper published u tumorous
article In which my name was mentioned
as a possible candidate for covemor of
Alaska. Mr. Cabell Whitehead a Nome
banker, who was visiting In tMs city at
the time, but whose home Is at Washing
ton, D. C, has taken the mutter seri
ously rnd under cover of the article
takes the opportunity to lnjjlge In re
cilminailons and personal abuse of my
self. Among other things he bays: "His
administration of the office i t collector
ni customs was not satisfactory to many
people, to say the least of it. There were
too many strange stories aflor.t for Mr.
Ivey to successfully compete for office
there again."
Now, who Is Dr. Cabell Whitehead, and
why Js he make this atta k on me?
For the past three years ha has been
Hie manager of the Untied Butes Treas
ury Officials' Bank at Nome, Alaska a
p-lvtme enterprise. Until last .Bpring, or
until Lyman J Gag eeasd to be sec
retary of the treasury, this fellow was
allowed to hold a position In the treas
ury department at Washington, while In
fact spending eight months of each year
at Nome, conducting the bank and specu
lating tn mines.
But when this came to the knowledge
of President Roosevelt the fellow soon
severed his connection with the treasury
department. I Incurred hla enmity at
Seattle some time ago by personally re
senting a false and slanderctis Matement
he made against an absent friend of mine,
which he would have not dared to make
to his face.
I am npt a candidate for the povernor
shlp nor for any other office in Alaska,
but I have been selected by the people
from all parts of that territory by mass
meetings, by chambers of commerce, by
city councils and by petitions Irom Nome
to Juneau, to represent tnem at Wash
ington this Winter in order to secure
needed legislation. It is thl fact which
seems to be causing this man AVhitehead
pain. '
1 have no hesitancy In saying the rea
son T have beW selected" lo represent
that great people Is because X hsve at all
times stood for Justice snd rlgh, against
all such "Imported bilks." who Iiave gone
there "with a pull" from Washington for
the purpose of rklnnlng everything In
Sight, from the people to the seals. And,
in conclusion, I will say . that In making
the above statement this man Whitehead
lied, and In leaving town before Its pub
licationas I ascertained when I went
to call on him at his hotel-he proved
himself to be a coward as well.

More often than not, the face of the
Russian woman of the better class is a
long oval that derives its expression and
Its attractiveness from the eyes. The
features are seldom quite regular and
the cheek-bones are frequently a, little

A countenance thus lit up is very like

and languor that seem to be of the East.

MANAGERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS.
"The Masqueradtra
At the Baker Theater all next
starting with Sunday matinee, th Maul
Stock Company will present Henry Arthur
Jones' great drama. "Th HastMradsra,'
The play is considered to t on of the
best ever produced at the Empire Theater
In New York, where It had the great rua
of .'00 nights. ,
- At the Marqwam,
James A. Heme's beautiful play. "Heatta
of Oak." will begin an engagement of
two nights at the Marquam Qraad The
ater tonight.
The days when make-oelleve eatables
and drinkables were consumed on the
stage passed away when James A. Hern
gave hi famous plays "Hearts of Oak"
and "Shore Acres" to the American public
N matter how serious a sce,ne might ba,
the audience always laughed when aa

because it might require- their service to
cure Indigestion from rapid eating. So It
was with the old style of writing a (tag
letter. The heart-broken heroin ia Writ
ing hr farewell to her faithless lover
would seise a pen and dtp it Into an
empty ink-well and then cover Sheet af
ter sheet of, note paper in such a rapid
manner that would ensure her tokina
first prise In a competition of high JVI
stenographers. It was by changing th
old ordf of things that James A. Hern
won an enviable niche in th rot of
dramatic and literarv fame both for him
self and his plays. When th scene calls
tor the actors to partake ot a dinner
and supper real eatables and drinkables
are used. When a letter Is to b mitten
the message is actually written. Who
can ever forget th delightful realism of
the New England dinner seen in "Shor
Acres." and how many hundreds of thou
sands of men, -women and children bav
watched with breathless interest the sup
