CAPTURE THIEF AFTER HOT TUSSLE TWO-STORY HOUSE IS BLOWN DOWN At 11 o'clock last night the high wind destroyed a half completed -house owned by Mr. McGlnnls at Twenty-sixth and Vaughn streets. A blacksmith shop at Eighteenth and Washington i streets was partly de stroyed as 8 result of the washout In Tanner creek sewer, the rear portion of the building falling. -. BISTORT IW THB BEJTATB. From the' New, York World. - Senator Bacon was assailing the. pirn to appropriate 18,000 for a base for the statue of Frederick the Oreat which the German emperor had given to this coun try and Inquiring if tbe president did not usurp , a prerogative of congress by accepting tne statue. :. n "Now let me tell you about Frederick the Great," said Senator Stewart ' , "I am not in need of the senator's In formation," said Senator Bacon. - "But I desire to tell the senator about Frederick the , Great," persisted Mr, Stewart. "I cannot yield for a speech," said Senator 'Bacon. ' This sort of thing went on for some time, and finally Senator Stewart' got the floor and began to tell the senate all about Frederick the : Great. , It was a good speech, but the 'trouble was that the senator told the senate about Peter the Great Instead of Frederick the 'Great. And this morning if was all cut out of the Congressional Record. PBOSPEOT OF GOOD BOATS. After a sensational fight. In which JJetective , Joe Pay was forced to knock John Smith down, the latter was ar rested In the postofflce late yesterday afternoon and landed In the city - jail. The name he gave Is undoubtedly ficti tious, and the officers have not been able to identify the prisoner. He Is charged with the burglary of Dr. William Koeh- ler's office at 242 First street four nights ago;' He took a large number of dental ' instruments and some gold for filling, all of which was found on him yesterday at the time of the arrest , Smith made the . plea that - he was known here, and that he did not want to be seen going to jail with the officer. He attempted to get away, and It was not . until he was felled , to the floor in the ' private office ! of Postmaster Ban croft that he gave in. . : . . , Smith 'was captured by a very clever ruse on- the part of Professor E. D. Hutchinson, of the Portland Dental Col lege, comer of Fifteenth - and Couch streets. Smith came to thejpollego yes- From the Forest Grove limes. It now -looks as if the recent discus slons of the bad-roads problems will lead to practical results that will eventually give this region roads that are fairly good the year round. - They have at least aroused the people to concerted action and a determination that the old plan of plowing and soraplng a little dirt in low places in summer time shall HY.0.wa7 to a systematic plan for per manent betterment " " From the Woodburn Independent There has been considerable road' building on paper and by word of mouth, and little of a material character. Prob ably the latter will be a natural se quence of the other two, and that great pow-wows are necessary for the con summation - of such a laudable object The people have bead so much and paid such high ' taxes this year- that they will be bitterly disappointed if they do not get a better showing on the roads, and it begins to look as if they will have no occasion to be sour.

ARMSTRONG, The Tailor No. 313 Washington Street SERVICES TO ORDER FITLY REMEMBERED John M. Gearln, past grand knight of Portland council. No, 678, Knights of Columbus, was presented with a beauti ful gold charm last Tuesday evening in recognition of his services to the order, When the Portland council was inatl- terday afternoon and tried to dispose of the stolen dental instruments and the gold flller. The ' college offlclals telephoned the police. . They told the thief they would buy the goods but that In order to pay for it would be neces sary to have a money ordercashed at the postofflce. : Smith consented to ao company.

Day nabbed Smith, at the. same time running his hand into the left coat pocket of the letter's coat He then attempted ', to place handcuffs on his wrists, when Smith objected and the fight took place. t; v-: Smith is a young man, and small of stature. He is a stranger to the local police, but is believed to have a record somewhere. He wore J a gold-filled watch, with a locket, in which was set a small diamond. There was a picture of a woman on the inside of the case. BASEBALL UMPIRE JOHN M.

"Nobody who has not, been through the mill can realize the tribulations of a professional baseball : umpire." , said -a member of . that long-suffering clan the other day. "Of all jobs on the face of the broad earth it Is the most thankless and the , least desirable. . In the first place the umpire has got to keep by him self a good deal during the playing season. His is a lonely and isolated existence a good part of the time. He can't afford to associate with ball play ers, because if he got friendly with any of the players .it might create talk or influence his decisions unconsciously. "So the umpire holds aloof almost entirely from the players, stays at dif ferent hotels from them and travels by different roads. I've seen the time, when I had my wife with me at a hotel, that I would not want to pass a group of ball players who might be standing near, lest one of them shoul say something in suiting to me as we passed and there would be trouble. Some players are bit ter enough to Insult you under just such circumstances. - , . . T used to ' instruct the employes of the hotels where I stopped not to men tion baseball to me at alL I refused to think of it off the field. There's no getting away from the conditions of loneliness. K folio ws"yW from - town to town, and In each place they have their grievances against the umpire. If you Bhould happen to give a decision against the home club the streetcar con ductor, if he knows you, the waiters and everybody else with local affiliations scowl on you. . Many a time you are en tirely friendless. Then, the PoUce. ' "Then there are the police. Some times there are not enough of them on hand to insure proper protection, and sometimes when there are enough they'll scowl at you and swear at you under their breaths, grip their clubs as if they would like to use them on you and otherwise give you to understand that they are protecting you against their In clination. I was once insulted by a cop while on my way to my dressing room after the game. Tou know where I dress,' I replied. Terhaps you would like to come back there and settle the argument,' ; But all he did was to call me an Incompetent blankety blank, bis fellow cops doing likewise. The cops are just as prejudiced rooters as any body else. . "As for the players, well, you know how they make Ufa miserable for an um pire. They are always ready to roast him, and seldom, if ever, have a kind word for him. I believe some of the players, would like to encourage the um pire ones in a while if it wouldn't seem so strange to them. On the other band there are players Who, when you um pire your best game, are sore because you didn't give them a chance to kick. ' Managers Also' Orowl. . "Managers' and owners also have their grawl at you, and it is very unpleasant. after a game, when you are dressing all alone, feeling that you are the. most. for lorn creature on earth, to have. the home magnate send word to you by one Of bis hirelings that you were rotten, that be Is much displeased with you and will have you transferred to some other town. a threat which be doesn't make good, now that league presidents stick up for their umpires. t ' "The umpires will make mistakes of course. They know it and feel worse over the mistake than anybody else. Sometimes, too, an umpire gets careless or lasy and doesn't get around to see the decisions as he should. Then a lit tle roasting does him good and puts him on his mettle. But there's no use in hounding a man. "Poor blind Snyder Is the way a Philadelphia paper referred to Charley Snyder every day for. a whole season. v ':. . "The bumps that the Umpire gets with ths ball take the starch out of him sometimes. I got three Taps on the wrist in quick succession one day In Brooklyn, and the last caused me such intense pain that I felt heartbroken. It simply took my nerve, unstrung me com pletely. And to be guyed by a lot of people when you are in physical and mental distress does not add to your comfort" ' .

Ernest W, Clements says: "On the sev enth day of the nrst month if a male swallows seven and a female fourteen red beans they will be free from sick ness all their lives: if one bathes at the hour of the dog on the tenth day, his irh-wnr become hard. A child begot ten in the father's 43d year Is supposed to be possvsied of the devil. When such achiid' is about one month old it is, therefore, exposed for. about three hours in some sacred place. Some mem ber of the family then goes to get it and, bringing it to the parents, says: 'This is a child whom I have found and whom you had better take and bring up.' Thus having fooled the devil, the parents re ceive their own child back." Wo Time to Discuss It. From the Chicago Tribune.
