Two xtraiiRf casts of suicide have orcurrod In Umatilla I'muiij within the past three day, remarkable from the oircum . stances that JUjc vl tuns were brotlutrn and that thu nieijiod of self-deslrmtion employed tn i-arh lustance was practically Id ntkal. Claus Lempke. a well-to-do farmer f '.ld Springs, the first of the brothers to ta his on life liu hunjf himself turly last Saturday mornln under circumftaiH that leave no doubt that 1i!h act WHi ths result of tem porary insanity. His funeral, which occurred on Monday, was Attended by his brother, Chris Jycmpke. who apparently became cred oyer he tragedy, for yeaterday afternoon he too was found lifeless and dangling from tye end of a rope. Claua Lnipke, who Jiung hlmadf on Saturday, had previously showed signs f suicidal man la and about a year agj) he madu an attenpt t end hlUfe by cutting bis throat 'vlin a razof. but he failed to reach tho Jugular vein, though i he Inflicted severe wounds upon his neck. His desperate act waa attributed to disappointment In a love affair, but siibseiiamtly tho young woman to whomho had been attxehad cotiaenU-d to rtcclve hu -Uontlons and sunn afterward tHy were, married The match swnvd a hnppy on and Lempke shovel no further symptoms ef dementia. Lnnt Friday night he retlixd usual and Ms wife av no lndi--. ' cation of mental cborranoii ci of unhapplnesa. About t:30 In the morning he rose, telling her that he would return Immediately, and that he waa going to the barn to attend his horses. After some time Mrs. Lempke, becoming alarmed, followed him to the barn, but he was not there. A search of the adjoining buildings failed to discover him. but finally. In an old house which was used as a storehouse. Mrs. Lempke found her husband's lifeless body suspended from one of the rafters. Only three days elapsed before Chris Lsmpke, overcome by the same fatal mania as his brother, took his own life: He, too, went Into an outbuilding, fastened a rope to an overhead beam, placed the noose about his neck ajid swung off into eternity. As In his brother's case, the body of the dead man waa first discovered by his wife! Both men were In prosperous circumstances and their domestic life ap peared to be happy. Close upon the news of the second sulolde came the report, afterward found ito be untrue, that S. K. Yates, former treasurer of Umatilla County, had taken his own life at his ranch near McKay Creek. It seemed that the strange case - of the lietnpke suicides was to toe paralleled, for a brother of Mr. Yates killed himself several years ag-o.

A police blockade was instituted to day by Chief of Police McLauchlan on the certain, premises on Fourth street, between gverclt and Plunders streets. This la a notorious neighborhood, and vas been' the scene of more hold-ups and robber las' than any other locality In the City. Time and again the victims report ed their loases to the polled only to re ceive acant courtesy and less satisfac tion. The frequenters ot those houses many times decoyed passersby Into their apartments and there relieved them of their valuables. To raise an outcry was Useless, as the offenders knew full well hat they would not be molested by tho authorities. Their disgraceful practices .were carried ,to Such an extent that Innocent persons. five blocks distant, have been accosted -and led to those hovels of crime and as sault.

The 4octOR Jaunu-ed this letter at the man of the bench yesterday afternoom . PORTIVND. Ore., Deo. 1, 1802. To the Editor: While being adverse to entering into newspaper publicity I feel it my duty to state my position In regard to the recent charge nade by Judge liugue that I was gambling on the night that he passed through the Portland Club. I never have played a game of cards in my life or games of chance, and was not gambling at that time, but was there purely on a matter of business to col lect money that waa owing to me from a patient. I will state emphatically that Judge llogue was under the influence of liquor and in a maudlin condition when ' Chief of Police McLuuehlan llnally de cided to suppress the open violation of the law. i So today policemen are sta tioned In that district. They are chacged with keeping the name of every person entering those houses, and reporting tho i same to headquarters. The police, according to Chief Mo- Lauchlaii, are also keeping an eye on tho Chinese lotteries, that are so publicly arm around my neck to steady himself from reeling. I do not believe that he was able to differentiate between a rou lette wheel and a "red wagon." Yours very truly. K. V. JOHNSON. M. D.

HIBBARD'S TROUBLES. , The troubles of u man in debt never cease, as George U llibbard can testify. He was sued by .Sarah J. Henderson re cently, she having a hill ugalnst him which she boUKht with a lot of oilier old account. Sle bought J6,i.(Ml worth of claims from the I niun Banking Com pany for j,l.Vi, amotig them being the Hb - bard claim.

The case was argued be!, .re Jud-o Sears, who will lia. to j.ass upon the legal question as to w'.-thcr or not Hib ttard is tull a battkmi.t. for gambling, appeared before Judge Sears this morning and entered pleas of not guilty on behalf of their cllentB. The attorneys were anxious for an early hearing, but as It Is near the holi days adjournment of court. 'Judge Sears did not Hit the date. He stated he would do so tomorrow morning. SEVERAL NOT ARRESTED. There are three "John Does" and two "Richard Roes" in the list of Indict ment, and the Ave men have not yet been arrested, although the officers are endeavoring to apprehend them. The names of those who entered pleas this morning are as follows: Ed John son. Ueorgv. Streetoo. Thomas Williams, T. B. McDevltt, Jed T. Merrill, T. De HoeaU Peter Grout and John Row Smith. - Ooaneilman R. H. Bentley has been burning midnight oil, and It is said that his colleague. A. F. Klegel, has been bear ing soms of the expense. That Councilman Albee's liquor ordi nance regulating the side-door saloon privileges of Portland's saloons will be defeated Is now almost a foregone con clusion, and here Is how It all happens: Mr. Alhee presented an ordinance that eliminates side-door saloons, that Is, should It pass. Saloons with side en trances are all that Mr. Albee meant to cover In his bill. He had the support of the license committee, and strenuous ef forts were made to arouse a feeling an tagonistic to places where side doors, lounges and the like were supported. The most Important question to come be rore the Common Council late this after noon will very likely be sprung when Mr. Bentley Introduces his amended measure to Albee's proposed annihilation of side-door entrances to saloons. A FEAST OF HERBS. Councilman Bentley lb quoted to have said tli.M "better feast of herbs where love Is than a stalled ox and strife therewith. The application of the quotation Is not made plain bj Mr. Bentley or any other member of the Council, but a commit tee sat on the 'expression In tho City Hall this morning and determined that Ueutiey implied that contention is to be avoided. . COULD NOT J3 FOUND. Mr. Bentley could not, be found any where this morning, or Wen up to the U is. -v. W.eX' '.ic 1 S isd l.to-!; -zUvrrnxm, -but enough has leaked out 'to glean the substance of his proposed amendment. This la, a forecast of what Councilman Bentley will propose: "Bide doors to saloons shall not carry the name of "family entrance,", and within all attempts at privacy wilf be avoided. There will be no curtains , or doors to boxes: neither will lounges he allowed In any places. ALBEE WILL FIGHT. Councilman Albee does not think that the new ordinance will carry an extra fine, but whether It does or not, he says he will tight for the maintenance of his proposed law. It Is conceded at the City Hall this afternoon that Mr. Bentley has framed his measure on the lines of similar ordi nances In operation In many large cities, particularly San Francisco. -.-That--, strong -iHeSM will ensue when the proposition Is made by Councilman llentley, Is almost assured. .Saloon men are surf, however, in their belief that a liberal policy Is better than a consor' PURE MILK- GOOD MEAT Common Council Takes Up Policy of Journal and Insists. The milk ordinance proposed by Coun cilman Mulkey in the old Council Is be fore the present Council this afternoon Councilman Sigler of the Health and License Committee, Is In line with the policy of The Journal, and says . that pure food will be on sale In Portland If the Council has anything to do with the question. The ordinance as It stands will prob ably be postponed until January, or un til such time when tho new charter comes Into effect. - There Is a concerted action among the Councllmen to Incorporate a meat and milk Inspector In the City of Portland, and thereafter little, If any. Infected meat or adulterated milk will be on sale. -JJ4nn-ha- mtbslBt oir: ttittlfrVliV 'hot lrf diseased bv the nractlces of ilislum "est TOaTefs',' ' said Councilman - Slgler.

McXamara liled a $&;Ihki damage Suit In the Stale I'lr.-uli Court this morn ing, the action beiui; against the Ameri can AlmauVn Quicksilver and (iold Min ing Company. As a cause of action the plaintiff relates Uiat he attempted to hav transfer papers made out for a large amount ol stock in the cumian-, the transfers desired givlirg to plaintiff the shares of stock then possessed by his brother. TThe president and secretary of the com pany retuaed arid ncglccteu to mak the papers, and McXumma now .u WANTS NEW TRIAL. Harry Thomas, the young man who was convicted of larceny from the person yes terday, wants a new trial. Thumas' attorney asked for ten days In whi4i to proper a motion for a new trial, but JU(!(re Frazier granted him but half that time. It Is not known upon what grounds the motion will be made. Peuding the motion, sentence cannot lie passed, and young Thomas will re main in the county Jail. ONE DAY SHY. recover the above mimed sum for dam "Well, sir, what can I do for you?" out i queried the clerk behind the deBk. as a s to j proud young man stepped up this morn- EgeB. NEW TRIAL DENIED. . "Judge George of the State Circuit Court this morning denied the motion for a dew trial In. the case of George P. Ro- -e.UAgaInstlljeOTthwiera.ammigra-II on Board. ' Pome time w the cass was tried In Judge George's department, and the Jury brought In a verdict for the defendant.

"I want. a marriage, license," was the repl y The usual questions were asked, and things were looking bright, when the clerk asked the age of the bride to be. "She'll be 18 tomorrow' blushlngly came the reply. . "Sorry.old rna but she Is one day too young, and I guess you'll have to wait." With a look of sad disappointment, the young man said It was a hard b!0w, but he'd pay for the license and the clerk could mall It tomorrow. So the wedding will occur tomorrow eight Instead of tonight. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. O. S. Ecker and husband to James A. Speer, part block 61. Carter's add 3500 unman catholic Archbishop to Louis P.
