The lodging house Is at 206 Market Street, where dwelt for the past week tns principal character, a Mrs. White. or Mrs. Arnold. Some time ago the husband of this lady, for reasons best known to himself, left his wife. In a desire to bring about his return Mrs. White, or Mrs. Arnold, bethought ner or the paternal Instinct supposed to be latent In every masculine breast and decided to use this Instinct to bring' ner recreant spouse to her side. me wnues, or Arnolds, up to time of their separation had no children, but but this was a small difficulty easily overcome. A babe was necessary and a . babe, must ba procured.. With this human property the husband would be . forced to assume the role of the proud father, affection for its mother would be reawakened and they'd ail live hap pily ever after. Tha riot Thickens. This wss the plot of what was de signed to be a domestic drama with a happy ! ending. Circumstances. In the shape of the landlady 'referred to, . turned It Into a farce comedy. T It appears that Mrs. White, or Mrs. Arnold, has a sister In Denver who , . . Jiaa .been -blessed with a plentiful sup. ply Of little ones. She could easily spare one of them the youngest two " weeks old-j-and, this child was to do the Infant 'phenomenon stunt In the drama.

He added that her husband wa afraid that, as his wife was of un sound mind, she might attempt to kill him." .appears and Disappears. This morning another chapter was added to the story of the vanishing babe. It developed that last night an infant arrived from Denver, In care of the railroad company and consigned to Mrs. White or Arnold. There was $10 due as freight but this the lady could not furnish and in despair of turning the Infant into coin the railroad people permitted the consignee to take thi child. Later in the evening Mrs. Arnold or Mrs. White appeared at the residence of Dr. Elsen with the babe which the phys Iclan stales is about two weeks old. She desired that Dr. Elsen authorise her to place the child In an asylum and give hie name. To this the dector demurred and the woman finally left. What dls position she made of the babe is un known. When she appeared at Market street house this morning she was alone. When Dr. Elsen reached his office this morning he was astounded to find the complete equipment of a very young babe on one of his office chairs. There was clothing, milk bottle and the rest of the outfit. The collection is still awaiting an owner. Mrs. White, or Mrs. Arnold left 'tier lodgings this afternoon after a sjormy scene with the landlady. The police Were summoned and ihe lodger took refuge In her room from which directly came groanlngs. When the door wss forced Mrs. White of MrsArnold held a bottle in her hand and the Impression was at first that she had taken poison. The physician who was brought to the scene quickly, declared that the lady had taken nothing worse thnn water. She was escorted to the police station. Chief Hunt talked with the woman moment and then turned his back to attend to some other "Ijusiness. Taking advantage of- this opportunity, Mrs. White or Mrs. Arnold ran out of the roqm and down Second street. She had not been seen since by the police. The Whites, or Arnolds, up to the time Of their separation, had no childrn, but Arnold, has a sister In Denver whose household has been blessed with a plent iful supply of little ones. She could easily LEADING SOCIAL EVENT Kansas Olty, Missouri.

Torsion. As to what transpired Immediately thereafter there are two slightly differ ent versions. Here, first. Is that of Dr. Elsen: "When I reached the house at 205 Market street;' said the doctor, "I found this lady in bed. She unfolded her story and really aroused my sym pathy. After telling me that her hus band had left her, she told of a plan he had conceived to bring him tack. It was,' briefly, to make him believe that he was a father and to use one of her sister's children as the means. Her Slmpje request to me waa that I should Issue a certificate of birth, have it pub lished in the newspapers and If her husband called on me to tell him that a babe had been born. "Of course I couldn't make myself a party to a game of that sort, but I assured the woman that I would do anything consistent with professional ethics to reunite herself and her hus band. I was prepared to do this in a negative sort of Way. Just to restore domestic happiness. I could have done this without making a false certificate or otherwise doing anything that could Injure my professional reputation.'' Enter the Landlady. It was at this Interesting .scene of the play that the landlady suddenly ap peared before receiving her cue, and Instead of looking motherly and abso lutely quiet, broke rlfcht In with lines that were not in the piny :il all. "While we wer- talking." continued Dr. Elsen. "in purse the .landlady. 'What's going pn,. !u here?' she de manded. --"'-Thank Heaven: I'm a mother:" sa id the woman In bed, softly and fer vently." This exclamation had a most aston ishing t-fTect. "This seemed to greatly agitata the i landlady. You pay me. you give me i money.' sue said ejn-ltedly. Then she went on: 'What did you do with that baby? I want to know where the ' baby Is!' "Here was a fix. Of course the babe was not there.

Tie stock of OObert Brothers, bank ers, wbo recently want Into bankruptcy. to be sold by E tiers Piano Sous tola week. Bale duly Authorised and" con firmed by the Oiroult Court A bit of plaqy history, prices and payments. sr awake buyers a veritable bargain har vest in tlanos.and organs, both new and second-hand. Mr. Claude Gatch. the receiver for the firm of Gilbert Brothers, bankers, who recently went into bank ruptcy, has turned over to Ellers Piano House the entire stock of ulanos and organs, part of the assets of the defunct bank. &very instrument is to be sold at onoe. The stock includes quite a number of instruments that were for merly held and sold by C. A. Whale for as much as $550. and even more. They can now be obtained for a great deal less man, nan loose prices. How the Bank Came by Them As an explanation of how the bankers came into possession of these pianos and organs. It should be stated that appar ently the bankers .-bought the Instru ments from, the makers. The bank In turn sent them to a dealer, who at one time made some very great claims and pretensions in ine piano ousiness, Dom at Salem and here, on Sixth- street, in Portland. This dealer agreed to pay the bank for the pianos when sold, at a sub stantial advance. - But the story of this transaction Is too complicated to be re peated In detail here. Suffice it to say there have been a great many people whose confidence was unwittingly or otherwise sorely abused rexactly "as -we predicted several years ago It would be. The Justice and other courts have been full of contentions and lawsuits over these piano deals, all of which goes to show that abaolute safety for the public lies only In dealing with a tnor oughly established piano house respon sible dealers, who have reputation to sustain, and who must of necessity con duct their business on above-board lines and In Justice to all. Prices to Close Them Out But back to the instrument: Every one of them is to be sold within the next ten days, and in order to accomplish this, every piano and organ In this stock Is to go at less than what it cost the dealer to get them heretofore. The sale of this stock has been duly authorised and confirmed bv the Circuit Ceurt. so that title is absolutely perfect. Further than this, Ellers Piano House guarantees the pianos, with the further warrant that money will be refunded to the purchaser If the instrument is not perfectly satisfactory and found as rep resented after delivery. I'nder these broad and comprehensive warranties vou are safe in securing one of these Instruments. Cash is preferred in this transaction, and a special allow ance ofr4 per cent from marked prices will be made to those paying all cash. About Time Payments Rut those desiring to buy on time pay ments may pay one-tenth of the amount down and the balance in t4 equal month ly Installments, deferred payment to bear Interest at 8- per cent per annum.

For the first time In the history of the lumbering Industry of Wlllapa Har bor (Shoalwater Bay), according to T, H. Bell, a business man who arrived In YHfs tttf'iYisrtffKett" section iast Satw day, A. M. Simpson, the millionaire ship owner and mlllman, Is shipping saw logs from the bay across the peninsula Into Baker's Bay, to be delivered to his mills at Knaptorr. 'The haul-overland Is mads by the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Company, a property recently acquired by the O. R. & N. Co. The haul la about 16 nilles. From the railroad ter minus at Ilwaco the logs are towed across the.Jjay and up the Columbia. Since last fall loggers of Shoalwater Bay have been delivering their logs to Portland sawmills In this manner, but this movement, which caused the immediate rise in the price of logs, met with bitter and determined opposition from the lumber king. Blockade Broken. , Simpson owns a large mill at South Bend, the port of entry on Wlllapa Har bor. The first delivery of logs Into Baker's Bay caused the price of the product to raise about $3 per 1,000. Simpson set about to prevent any more logs from going to Portland. He suc ceeded in tying up every available steamer or towboat on the bay. Bo completely had he the situation in hand that for quite a period It was absolutely lmposslbe to move the rafts, across the bay to the O. R. & Nl Company's north ern terminus at Nahcotta. The Portland mlllmen and Shoalwater Bay loggers Combined to relieve the blockade. " Ne gotiations were opened for a tow boat on the Sound. Finally one was secured and the situation was relieved. Subse querttfj the blockade was broken at ofh. points and the new enterprise -went on uninterrupted. Many millions of feet of -logs have since been deliv ered to the mills at Portland, and the loggers of the Coast have made a good thing out of It. -.A scarcity or- marketable spruce" on the Columbia River 'and overwork In Simpson's South Bend mill has caused the owner to finally become himself an exporter of logs. The situation was forced upon him. Along with the Port land sawmills, his own mill at Knap ton Is so hard pressed for good spruce timber that a matter of a few dollars extra per 1,000 makes no difference.
