., , A. C. Lohmlre, who ia well-known- as
a raee horseshoer, member of the River
side Driving club and the owner of sev
eral good racehorses, has begun a suit
for divorce from - Elba Xohmire, to
whom he was married In Fortland In
J 889. He allege that since 1893 she has
' used morphine and cocaine .habitually,
and that she acquired the habit from
relatives. He alleges she has borrowed
: Bums of money from .merchants for the
purchase of morphine. He had to re
pay the money. ; Mrs. Lohmlre also went
upon the street cars, he says, and rep
resented that he had not furnished her
with money to pay her fare, and to bis
'humiliation was sometimes ejected from
the cars. The complainant also says
that once when be was tieing the strings
.of his shoes his wife kicked him in the

appreciate. In the advertisement of I.
Oevurts St Sons, In another part of this
paper today, appears a coupon which
. entitles the holder to his or her choice
of a great selection of cut and crystal
glassware of the rarest and most ex
pensive kind. The one condition is that
the coupon roust be cut from The
Journal of today, and must be presented
tomorrow for redemption. Nine cents
must ' accompany , every coupon, this
; being about one-quarter the wholesale
value of the article to which the holder
will be entitled. This Inducement Is of
fered to attract persons to the store
wnere a great sate 01 iron oeasieaas is
being held.
1 John A. Anderson declared under oath
before Judge Sears yesterday that he
gave M. Hageman, manager of the
Charles F. Beebe company, a check "for
$160 and $80 in gold In payment of a
bill. Mr. Hageman declares that Ander
son gave him the check but no gold.
Those are in substance the allegations
of both sides la the suit of Charles F.
Beebe, brigadier-general of the Oregon
National Guard and managing owner of
the Charles F. Beebe company, against
'John A. Anderson and Albert Crowe for
the sum of $80. As proof of his state
ment, Anderson showed the court re
ceipts for the amount signed by Hage
man. .Judge Sears took the case under
advisement.
A gang of small boys belonging to
the Harrison street school planned a
raid on Arata's Third street liquor store
last night, but their scheme was frus
trated by the police. The lads, it Is
said, intended to take the whisky bot
tles from the front show case window,
but one of them was captured and the
others escaped. The youthful prisoner
disclaimed all wrong Intentions, but laid
the blame on his companions. No charge
was made against the lad and he was re
leased. However, the matter was re
ported to the parents of the lads and
some wholesale punishment will be
meted out to the wayward youngsters.
Services commemorating the life and
career of Mrs. Mary Russell, an active
leader in the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union movement, whose death
" occurred recently; was held yesterday
afternoon at the rooms of ? the Toung
Woman's Christian association. For It
years Mrs. Russell was leader of the
Central Union W. C; T. U. During the last
three years of her .life she was con
fined to her room by Illness. She re
sided wHh her daughter, Mrs."-C H.
Albee, at East Nineteenth and Russell
' streets.
two days that the original buyers would
not recognise the plat of the city of
Estacada as the one that hung before
them on Tuesday. - Many men and
women who invested at the public sale.
after thinking the matter over, have
returned to the townslte company's of
fice, room 6, Oregon Water Power and
Railway company's building, First and
Alder, and have added other invest
ments to those they had already made.
This new city has the advantage of be
ing located on one of the never falling
rivers of the- West, and It affords a
water power at that point which will
forever drive the wheels of the many
factories and mills that will be erected
there, It is a great business proposi
tion, is that young metropolis. Own
ers Of property at present prices,' or
even those who buy second hand at
higher figures, are sure to realise handsomely-
if not desiring to reside there
themselves. , . . ..
Passengers riding out to Estacada the
other day were greatly surprised a the
growm or Portland s southeastern xt
urbs, Particularly was this noticea
ble in that tract known as Nash's ad
dition, a most - beautiful location Just
beyond the city limits. : Houses are
springing up there like flowers in May
time, scores of the city's middle classes
buying lots and building their own
houses in preference to paying all their
waK&Pfiin. rents. These- homes are
cosy' and comfortable, and there must
be beauty in the thought that hereafter
every improvement will inure to the
benefit of the owner and not the land
lord. The man who owns his own home
is always more, interested 4n his city
than the one who rents. He may mere
fore be considered a better citizen.
Madame Asa Holmes, well known in
Portland as one of the most celebrated,
doctors of dermatology In the oountry,
has returned to her home after a two
months' absence In New York, where
she -was constantly under the Instruc

sician who grafted the $5,000 ear on the
Wyoming stockman who had become in
some manner disfigured by the loss of
one of these members and desired to
have the blemish removed. Madame
Holmes will reopen her parlors next
Monday at West Park and Morrison, con
cerning which The 'Journal? will have
something mors to say tomorrow afternoon.
A peculiar Incident occurred early
yesterday at "the home of John Feck,
J704 East Ninth street, when an intru
der entered, stealing a hat nut leav
ing a suit of clothing behind. The suit
Is nearly new and the affair Is a pussle.
The police think that possibly a drunken
man entered thinking it was nis nome.
When he discovered his mistake he
made a hasty departure.

a few monthe ago. has begun suit
against Gossman for $200, the unpaid
remainder of his fee. The whole fee
was $300, and Smith alleges that he has

The Oregon Water Power Townslte

Special Officer Caswell is after the
merchants who violate the law requir
ing them to keep their displays of wares
or merchandise inside of the building
line. Yesterday he had an interview
with Mayor Williams snd the city's chler
executive sanctioned the action. A few
warnings will be given, snd if that does
not prove sufficient to remedy the evil,
arrest and prosecution will follow.
"The trouble has been," explained Mr.
Caswell, "that during the holidays the
merchants were allowed special privi
leges in order to accommodate their
Christmas trade, but now that the big
season trsde is over many of them tor
get that they are expected to obey tho
law again. It must be done, however,
and if a hint or two does not meet with
satisfactory results ths offenders must
explain their action in court" .
This does not apply to merchants who
temporarily place their goods on thn
sidewalk preparatory to storing it in the
basement or store. No unnecessary de
lay can be allowed, but some privileges
will be granted in' this direction,.. -The
principal idea Is to prevent the green
goods shops, the fruit stands, and other
places of like character from littering
up the sidewalk continually with broken
boxes of vegetables, fruits and other
salable stuffs.
