New Band Delights City With
Its Harmony Is One of the
Best in the Army and Bears
High Reputation,
VANCCH'VKR. Wash.. Junr 24 At
10:3(1 thin morning seven oiimpjnli'S of
the Seventeenth Infantry marched to tho
boat at the government dork and began
their lmiir Journey to the Philippines.
At the Presidio in San Francisco they
will be Joined by the other five compa
nies of the regiment that were sta
tloned at various forts In this depart
ment, and the entire regiment will pall
for Manila.
Vancouver awoke, yesterday afternoon,
to the fart that there waa a new band
In town, when the musicians of the
Nineteenth assembled for an introduc
tory concert. The Seventeenth had a
band that waa up to the high standard
set by the army, traditions, but the
new 'aggregation cornea with the repu
tation of being the beat Infantry band
on the Count, and their first appearance
surprised the. barrack, who only knew
of their record by hearsay. The mem
bers of the Nineteenth band appear in
the new regulation cap and prcaent a
neat line, but the feature la their niuslc.
Stronger by aeveral Instruments than the
hand of the Seventeenth, and under it
moat efficient lender, they furnish music
of the highest quality. Already they
have received numerous invitations to
appear in public performances, both
bere and in Portland, and at guard mount
this morning most of Vancouver turned
out and felt repaid for their Journey.
,The Nineteenth is a seasoned regiment,
having been through the Oriental mill,
and a year's stay at the Presidio, and
their every evolution Is that of the
trained troop.
Through the summer the band will
give three concerts each week at the bar
racka and these afternoons are liable to
prove occasions for fashionable gather
ings from Portland and the suburbs.
Dames Critic la.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. June 24 The
wives and daughters of the incoming
army officers are outspoken In their
dislike of their reception. All the offi
cer! and married enlisted men had to
take quarters last night In Hotel Co
lumbia, because of the crowded condi
tion of the garrison, and this has
aroused the ire of the army dames and
daughter's.
"I never knew of a case before where
the newcomers were forced to seek out
side accommodations," said an officer's
Irate wife this morning. "If anyone is
.compelled to camp out It has been the
outgoing sold' -r. The barracks are de
lightful after the hole of a Presidio we
have been in for a year, but we would
have liked It better had we been permit
ted to have occupied them sooner.
"The Presidio is a disgrace to the na
tion's army and gov Tient. The cli
mate Is unbearable, v. .at can not be
remedied, but the quarters set aside for
the officers are worse than the oldpst
quarters Vancouver has for' the pri
vates; if we have to return there in
September, as I hour it rumored we will,
I will feel as though army life was
soerathlng like a noted general's defini
tion of war."
Watklns Tried Today.
VANCOUVER. Wash., June 24. The
preliminary hearing of Sergeant Wat
kins, who On Monday night shot Private

LOSSES OF HORSES IN WAR
Heaths due to wounds received in bat

the losses of cavalry horses in war. It
was only after a war experience of two

lumber of horses, temporarily disabled
Shrough excessive marching and lack of
forage, were turned In at the general

.. Some Idea of the. dimensions of the
temount business may be had from the
ttatement that 1 88i7 J 8 horses were pur
Jliused during the fiscal year ended June
10. 184. During the first eight months
f that year the cavalry of the Army
if therPatomac was supplied with two
tomplete remounts, which required 40.
100 horses. The total number of mules

Iy of all armies was 500 each day. and
ihe data collected showed that for every

Irltish Army in South America indicates
iat Aht loss of animals In the Civil War

SEVENTEENTH
LONG JOURNEY
Vancouver Citizens Now Catch
an Early Car for Portland, or
Wait Until Daylight Dawns
for Them,
Police of Town Criticise City
Police and Offer to Catch the
Robbers Passengers Go
Armed and Penniless,
(Journal Special Service.)
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 21 The
recent robberies mid the futal results
that linve nearly attended one or mnrn
of them Iiiivp convinced the lornl cltl
gens that midnight trips to or from
Portland are expensive luxuries. Many
men nre willing to admit that they will
not travel by the iate cars until they
are sure of better police protection
than they now receive, mid the few that
are compelled to use the "owl" cars do
so with fear Hnd trembling and leave
their money behind.
Streetcar men on the Vancouver run
and the crew of the ferry say that travel
on the night cars bus fallen off at least
50 per cent In the last two weeks, and
that every time a ttoldup occurs on the
line the traffic takes another Jump down
ward toward the xero point.
Neither the police ior the citizens arc
enamoured with the efforts the Portland
police are making to put a stop to. the
outrages, and every man has a plan that
he thinks would result In the elimination
of further trouble. The chief of police
Is willing to guarantee a capture of the
robbers If he Is allowed to execute his
plan, and advises that on the last two
cars that leave the city, guards be
placed. Another plan offered is that on
the lonely stretch near Woodlawn. where
two robberies and several more at
tempts have been made, that one or
more men he kept each night to ac
company the cars past the danger terri
tory, and then to drop off and wait for
another car to take bark over the sus
picious ground.
Until some arrests and convictions are
made late-traveling Vancouver citizens
will go forth with heavy artillery be
hind, a brass watch before and fear and
trembling within. '
THE WHISK BROOM
IN WOMAN'S HANDS
Man Applies It t5 Proper Use
While the Other Sex Fail
to Understand,
A chapter might be written on the use
of the whlsk-brocm. or, rather, the dis
use of this noble article, by women.
Almost every feminine creature num
bers a. whisk among her possessions.
Sometimes it has a, silver handle, and
sometimes it is a humble 10-cent affair,
, but at all events there it is on htr lu
reau. apparently more for Its beauty
than for anything else, for It Is seldom
used.
Tl(is is one difference between man
and woman, says the uultlmore jsews,
thnt the former uses his whisk with re
ligious regularity, while the latter uses
hers when she thinks of It, which is
not otener than once a week.
The fiverage feminine creature resem
bles an ostrich in that if the front
breadths of her gown are all right, she
is perfectly happy. Of course, an
ostrich has no front breadths, and so
the simile may seem a little strained.
but all ornithological authorities agree
that If the ostrich has his head hidden
he is satisfied that he is concealed, and
thre Is where the likeness comes in to
a woman with a well-brushed front
breadth, and an unbrushed back one
Well In winter time the velvet hat
worn by a feminine Is a sight to see
It has dust among Its folds and dust
on the crown. Its brim Is covered with
the little yellow grains. Sometimes tire
man who takes an Interest in the woman
says to her, "Why In the name of com
mon sense don't you brush your hat?"
and then she Instantly becomes hurt
and savs. "Why, I brushed It the other
day; it certainly cun't need It ngaln so
soon."
Where Women rail.
The name of the' women who go out
yltjhi bits of thread dangling from their
Sleeves ana wun oils or nni ornHmeni
ing the back of their gowns is legion
Glanced at curiously, they look all
right, but a nearer" view shows that they
have entirely forgot to remove the
specks which this wicked world will
leave on woolen clothes, and especially
on black woolen clothes.
A man Is so different. Before he
leaves home in the morning he takes a
whifrlc, which he keeps handy. and
brushes off his coat- and trousers. Then
he brushes his hat. He goes to the bar
ber shop after a while, and the barber
brushes him off after he has stopped
making the msn beautiful.
A little later Mr. Man starts out for
luncheon, and he takes a brush from
his desk and gives himself 40 strokes
before he feels fit to go on the street.
When he starts home In. the evening
he poes through the same performance,
apd looks uncommon tidy as he turns
In at his own door after a whole day
down town.
Women are so different. Their "brush"
days come about once a week, and then
the whisk Is applied sparingly by a
maid who Is weak in the wrist. That
Is the reason for the dangling strings
and bits of lint.
It la ially verv Interesting to study
these differences between man and his
sisters, but this is certain that there
live." no woman .with soul so dead that
she will not resent being told that she
is less tidy than the masculines, but In
some ways she is. just the same.

OREtJON CITY. June 24. -Mrs.
Schindler of New Era met with a re
markable experience in this city yester

prevailed on to do so. A little later
she ntnrted across the suspension bridge
on her way to visit a sister at Wlllam
ette .Falls. Half way across she stum
bled nnd the purse containing the green
backs slipped from her hand and fell
Into the water 100 feet below. Mr

snw the purse floating on the water
Hushing nrross the river where n party
of men were working on a wood scow,
she excitedly told of her mishap and
offered anyone a dollar who would cap

sprang into a boat, rowed out and cap

Now Mrs. Pchlmller thinks there is no
money so good as greenbacks.

was thrown away. And so the meal,

USED ESTATE FOR ff
HIS OWN BENEFIT
So Decides Judge Scott of
Salem and Then Re
moves Executort
(Journal Special Service.)
SALEM. Or., June 24. County Judge
John H. Scott, sitting In probate, yea
terday removed the executor of two
wills, on petition of the respective heirs,
on the ground of neglect, and violation
of the statute prescribing the duties
of an executor or administrator.
In the case of the estate of W. F,
West, deceased. K. 1J. West, one of the
heirs, was executor, and had served a
such since April 5. 1899. The estate,
whe.i it came Into his hands, consisted
of 1,100 acres of land, about 100 acres
in cultivation, the rest being good pas
ture. There were no debts, and the
estate, should have been settled up
within a year. At the hearing of the
petition of the healrs to remove tne ex
ecutor It was shown that the executor
had used the estate for his own benefit
exclusively, had credited the estate with
no Income, though the pasture land, rea
sonably worth $350 to $400 per year.
and which could have been leased, had
been used by the executor for personal
gain, and at the same time he had cre
ated debts against the estate to pay thd
expenses of administration and taxes.
On this showing the executor was re
moved and tils letters revoked. The par
ties to the case reside at Jefferson,
where the estate is located.
S. J. Kerr, executor of the last will
of E. Coffey, deceased, was the other
case disposed of. Mr. Kerr was ap
pointed in 1 S97, and the court found
at the hearing of the petition for the
executor's removal that tho latter had
neglected the buildings to the great loaa
to the estate; had not repaired fences;
sold a crop of hops last year, and con
tracted for the sale of one this year,
without authority from the court, and
failed to make reports, required by law,
on the condltlbn of the estate, leaving
t no nearer settlement than for a long
time before. J'pon this showing the
court removed the executor and revoked
his letters. The parties to the case and
the estate are located at St. Paul, in
this county.
