Jan. 23. O. A. Cheney one of the old eitixens of Oregon City, at one time a prosperous newspaper pub lisher In the central west, has a son, Chettle I "Cheney, who resides in Chi cago, and an expert operator on a linotype and works for the Drover1 Journal.. His wife. Leonora,' was In the Iroquois theatre Are and he has Just re- celved a letter from her giving her per sonal experiences. She says, "I was In that awful hell of Are, the burning of . the Iroquois theatre.. How I ever hap , pened to get out is almost as much of a mystery to myself as to the people , whom I tell of It. "I had a seat In the fourth row from v the front of the gallery. Jammed up , next to the boxes with eight or nine peo pie between me and the aisles. The fire started on the opposite of the stage , and I saw the first little tongue of v flame. I arose, as did nearly everybody, but when the actors screamed set down." I did so. In fact about one third of the '..people on the first floor sat' down, while , the others continued fleeing In an awful t panic. I waited until the flames were shooting into the audience 10 feet right opposite me and I knew that the theatre ..was doomed. I Jumped up on my seat "and the entire way out I Jumped from , one sea to the other over their backs. ' as the aisles were packed. -The flames were not 10 feet back of me the whole way out and it was stifling with the , smoke and the terrible odor of burning flesh, . Had I sat on the other side of : the theatre In the corresponding, seat to where I sat I would have lost my life. A dozen persons were found there . burned to death where the flames first , shot out When I got to the end .of the theatre, . having passed two exits that ; were locked, I saw an exit that was open. It was kicked open by two baseball play ers, as I learned afterwards. About 200 were trying to get out and we all fought iixe maa qogs. tar nesn was a mass or black and blue' spots next day. My knees are so yet. I was knocked out of the exit and. fell on my hands and knees. Had I fallen straight out I would have "been crushed to death but I was knocked a little . sideways . and then, crawled serosa the alley on tny hands and knees. , A man Jumped on my 'back but I was ' flat' on the ground at the time and was onlv badly bruised. .. My hands were -walked on Until they were all black and , skinned. I fought' my way across the - alley and a man In overalls pulled me to ; my' feet.- I think' he was an engineer .or fireman from a building back of the theatre. I was standing In this big door way sfter I 'was pulled' to my feet and .'saw the poor souls fall like hail from ,the windows and fire escapes. The flames were shooting out 10 feet beyond them so you can imagine what they were suf fering. A flame would climb up a wo man or child's dress and hair and that living pillar of Are would drop about , three stories to the ground, either being , pushed out or jumping out themselves. , The screams both here and in the theatre j will ring In my ears always it seems. .. Such , agonizing ; shouts I have never " beard' m all of my life. 'j ; , High Softool Oradoatea.'

It was a mov ing picture of the soldiers called to arms in the' early morning and showed the skirmish in a most vivid manner.

Papers in the suit of Nalhe McClaren against William McClaren, for divorce, were filed In the circuit court today. Mrs. McClaren resides at Junction City with her facher, J. J. Butler, but is now somewhere else, evading the officers. who have a warrant for her arrest for keeping a bawdy house. Butler was arrested the other day on the same charge, but was released, as it was shown that bis daughter conducted the hoase as she pleased, and Butler had no say in the matter. Butler is the man who killed Frank Mulkey at Junction last summer because he (Mulkey) would not stay away from Butler s house, where he and the McClaren woman often made the. night , hideous with their drunken revelry. William McClaren resides in Eugene. The grounds upon which his wife seeks for a divorce are cruel and Inhuman treatment. They were married July. 17, 1897, and have one son, aged 7 years.

' Albanr college,: The new plan reeom mended unanimously by tne committee provides that on the second Friday of May each year the executive committee shall meet and choose a general topic for the v contest ' nine months hence. Three- weeks before, the state' contest the executive committee shall select three Judges, who. are not connected in any way .wltjr the colleges, in the as sociation,' and - each ' Judge shall , name eight Subjects under the general topic. The 24 subjects will then be sealed and delivered to the executive' committee, who shall select eight subjets four Jhours before the contest The Orators in turn will draw from the eight, two hours previous to the contest, and will: be al lowed 15 minutes to speak. The object is to put an. end to plagiarism and to make the orations more extemporaneous. Heretofore the orators were allowed to select their subjects, and very often the oration was jthf product wholly or In part of outsiders or, even copied bodily from works of prominent writers. After the 8mlth episode last year the associa tion determined te make : the contest original, if possible, and th'a executive committee was instructed to prepare a new plan, . It is thought that the one just devised will meet the hearty ap proval or the. association- and serve to place the . contests on . much . fftgher plane., , , The. drawing, for positions for the contest this year resulted as' follows Tn the order named: Oregon State'' Normal school, Oregon Agricultural college; University of Oregon, Albany college, Paciflo university. McMlnnvtlle; college, Psicifld college," Willamette university. McMinnvllle . college was barred from the contest this year on account of the plagiarism of Orator Smith and will not participate. t t GRANT WILL CO ON : LECTURE PLATFORM -' Rev. Roland T. Grant, formerly pas tor of, the First Baptist church in this city, has resigned his pastorate at Van couver, Wash., and will embark on a lecturing tour. While he does not in tend to give up the pulpit entirely, he expects to appear frequently before strange congregations. "Lyceums are on the Increase, espe cially in the South and East, and the field Is not playing out, as has oftfn been stated," said Rev. Grant yester day. "In the South particularly they are becoming a great educational sys tem. I believe I can accomplish as good or better results In this way than I can by sticking to one particular pastor ate." Dr. Grant has peculiar views on the race problem of the South, and believes that the people of the South are misun derstood by the people of the North. "The South has exactly as much right to some sort of negro exclusion as the North has to Chinese exclusion. North ern agitation will not settle the negro question for the South. Statistic show that the negro at the present time is increasing much faster than the white race of - the South. Accordingly It is hard to see what the outcome will even tually be." ' , ' The lectures which Dr. Grant pro poses to give are: "The Lewis and Clark Expedition of liOS." "Pope Leo and His Palace," "Yellowstone National Park," "Far North American Alps," "Snakes In Paradise," "The 8tory of a Spade." BE DE8EBTED EEB. Mrs. Marene A.
