RULE OF THREE IN DEATH Operatic artists are especially prone to believe In the superstition that tragedies come in threes. So the news that Sibyl Sanderson had died In Paris at a comparative early age fox a etng-er. led to the question, Who will the other two be? In this case, ample fulfillment of the superstition seemed to come lit short time. nrst uneoaor Keicnmann, remem bered here for his great strength, died suddenly In Germany. As a matter of fact, his heart had been weakened by his habits, but he was only 63, which li net an advanced age for one in his profession. He had moreover been very much excited by the refusal of Guetave Mahler, to renew his contract with the Imperial Opera In Berlin, ex cept at a much reduced salary. Winkle mann, the noted Wagnerian tenor, had to submit to the tame conditions which caused the baritone so much annoyance. Relchmann had frequently spoken of his apprehension of approaching death to colleagues In . the Vienna Opera House. A few days after he closed the season with a performance of "Hans Sachs" he was to start on his vacation. -Aftex the- performaneewen that evening he prest-nted his score of "Die Mels- tersinger von Nurnburg," to Frans Schalk with this dedication: "Pohalk you are a fine chap. May you and all my colleagues live long, and this glorious theatre, too. But-for me this is the last night." Then the news of Cremoninl's death came within' a few. days. He was two years younger than Sibyl Sanderson. He had returned to his native Cremona for a few appearances in the opera there before the season closed. He postponed them on account of ill health and died after a verv short illness. AJ SA ! f Shoes at real Bargains. Come and look. Bona Fide. .J.ust look at our shelves.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Without a warrant,' Detectives Day and Hartman yesterday afternoon placed Herman Kurth under arrest on a hare, of fraud, said to have been pre ferred against him by Mrs. Katberlne Spies of Chicago. Ha was taken Into custody or. request of Francis J. O'Nell, Chief of Police of that city, the request being in the form of a tiroular letter sent to all police departments through out the country. The alleged fraud, or, as the police put It, confidence game, in which Kurth, a young and Industrious Ger man, is said to have been concerned, is over a patent macnine ne ana . nis father Invented several years ago for hulling oats. Mrs. Spies, who is the mother of the anarchist hanged in Chi cago some years ago, claims that she put up $600 to advance the improve ment of th. machine, and" that after having don. so, it was proved to be a fraud. Manager Connell of tlw Pacific Coast Milling Company of Portland, for whom vaunt Kurth has been working for mor. than two years, makes the state ment that th. machine is all that the Inventor claims for it. and that It b been In operation in bis plant for two vears working with unqualified success. Connell trusts the young inventor lm Dlloltv. has often given him oppor tunlty to defraud the Arm if he chose and takes such an. interest in his era ploy, that he today engaged Judge Carey to defend him. As the arrest was made without a warrant,, habeas corpus proceedings will b. Instituted at once, and Judge Carey stated that he would ask a hear ing on the action at 3 o'clock this a iter noon. Judge Carey will light to the end all attempts to extradite young Kurth. A dispatch to Chief Hunt wss re ceived this morning, stating that Chief O'Neill would send a man at one. to take the prisoner back. JElstorjr of Case. The history connected with the case covers a period since 1898, when the first attempt was made In Portland to organise a company to put forward tne manufacture and sale of the hulling machine. At that time the father was with young Kurth, and succeeded In organising- a small number of people, and securing several hundred dollars. How ever, the effort was a failure, ana n. later went to Seattle. There he met with the same fate. He then went to Chicago and organised what was known as the "Chicago Cereal Company," and among the interested parties was Mrs, Spies and one of her sons. iney put ud $50t. The business again failed, as the machine at that time could not be made to work with any degree of suc cess. Tne eiaer xurcn was neiu re sponsible by Mrs. Spies, 1 who, of all those who gave money, refused to drop the matter. She protested that she had been robbed, and to appease her, the father signed notes in. tha name ot Kurth & Son for the future payment of the $500. He left the state, and Mrs. Spies put detectives on his track and hounded him, until, worn out by his endeavor to live in the open, ne went back to Chicago in 1800. and committed suicide. He never had sufficient money to pay the debt. And now comes Mrs. Spies, through criminal proceedings, and attempts to eolfcet the old notes from the son. But as Interested parties nave pieagea themselves to see that the young man is thorouKhly protected- and defended against the charge, It seems to be up to Mrs. Spies to prove that tne macnine was not all that Herman Kurth claimed for it. SCARCITY OF HELP DELAYS ROAD WORK Oregon Water Power Line To ward Stillwater Finished as Far as Barton, Scarcity of labor has so delayed work on th. extension of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company s line to Stillwater, 40 miles southeast of Port land, that the road wll not be finished until some time after September. Since last November 24 miles of track has been laid and cars are now running reg ularly as far as Boring, 21 miles from here. Just at present two bridges are being put In across Deep Creek at Bar ton. Between S50 and 400 men ar. em ployed In the construction work, but th. officials complain they have great dif ficulty in keeping regular hands. They say that the laborers for the most part appear to be transient, and their only desire Is to work a day or two and then move on. Steady, reliable laborers ap pear to have work elsewhere. Four trips dally are being made over the road to Boring, but locomotives are used In hauling the cars. As soon as the overhead wires can be strung regu lar motor cars will be installed. The company Is using 08-pound rails on the road. THREE CONNECTIONS Hereafter train No. 43, known as the Rock' Island & Rocky Mountain Limited, ends Its run at Pueblo, Colo., Instead of at Colorado Springs, thus extending its route 60 miles and giving travelers from the West additional opportunity for direct connection with Denver & Rio Orande. Oeorge W. Painter, traveling passenger agent .for the Rock Island, said: "The advantages to trav elers can readily be seen. The Limited and the Denver & Rio Grand, through trains pass through Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo. In case the pas senger misses connections at any of th points he is not obliged to wait, but can continue on to th. next place and there change cars."

There are stored dozens of strong boxes, from small private home affairs hardly large e none) i to receive a gallon Jug' to huge vault-like safes in which two men might stand. They tell of reverses of fortune. Men or women who have money and valuables enough to warrant their keeping " them in an iron sere, either at home or at the office, some. times lose them and have no further need for the protection agftinst burg lary. Others who own small safes have their efforts crowned with success and find the small boxes inadequate for the accommodation of all the stuff they want to put under a strong lock and key. Such people deal with tha 'safe exchange." The proprietor of the place has noted these rises and falls of the tide of pros perity in individual instances.

"A year later he. exchanged it for a larger one. A few days ago ha sold the second one back to me, and told me he was going to a safe company to buy a brand-new one considerably larger than the last. You should have noticed his appearance, though. He was a prosperous man of business, and wore fine clothes and a silk hat, and carried a cane. I never knew what hla business was, but It's certain he was successful. "It would make you weep to see some of the people who come here to sell their safes," continued the denier. "Many have told me of their hard luck- how they lost their fortune or their all; whether It was enough to be called j a fortune or not. 'or peopie wno naa valuables enough to need a safe for their keeping? ther -driv- hard- bargain, I tell you. They sometimes argue an exasperatinaly long time for a price for their old safes that we absolutely could not pay and get out even on the deal.
