At tha November election a : proposal , for the . creation of . a . stats board of railway commissioners will be submitted for ratification. Attorney General Brown, candidate for the senate. : and Qeorge I Sheldon of Cass county, candidate for governor,, joined forces in a campaign of oratory against the con servatives. In bitter terms they have ; condemned 1 the pollolea of. the Repusll- cans of Nebraska and have declared that the state administration was , railroad ridden. Sheldon; a young man scarcely ' mors "than M, has. served two terms In J- the state senate. Non-la Brown la s , comparatively 'young man.; native of . Iowa.

Stlfft, a travsMng sales man, of Chicago, wants Changs', for a dollar, he. generally, reache over the hotel. -esk and arcurea It from the clerk's chin, or at least that Is what he did to Clerk Nathaniel K. Clark at the Portland yeatsrdayr. ", ,T: Stlfft la a legerdemain artist. ' One of his favorlts tricks is with a thimble, which he v generally .contrives ' to take from the pocket of the man he happens to be talking to.' He places ths thimble upon his finger, "makes a few passes with ' his- hands, and lot . ths thimble comes tumbling out of his mouth, sys, ear, nose or. other places -aiule looked for by the onlookers. - Mr. Stlfft haa a email celluloid egg. i. la no trick at all for him 'to change It Into any color you want. If you are not ' satisfied with Its six., he will make It larger-or smaller aa you may wish without removing . It- from his hand. Then he will turn It Into an orange,, watoh, or tooth, as you may desire, without resorting- to any gross subterfuges. It the tooth Is .too large r- 1...'." i' ' f he willingly changes It Into a smaller ons. ' ' v ' . '-It Is easy. enough." aald Mr. Stlfft, "for these men -on the. stage to fool people with their palming, because they are quite a little dlstsnce from their audience, but to do It ; right under a person's syes Is quite another thing. For : instance, here Is a silver dollar. You may .want two half-dollar pieces -for It." , v. . .v, . Presto! the "halves", come . dropping out-of the clerk's coat sleeve I "Now to make new money. Take the two allver pieces and place them In the palm of the hand. Turn the hand over, then back again without losing an In stant of time, and the allver la gone. But ws have a nice, new, bright, shin ing silver dollar coming; out of Mr. Clarke's coat pocket" Quite a crowd had gathered around the deek by thla time; 1 o'clock struck and Mr. Stlfft went his way to per form hla trick of making Portland dealers believe that the sausage caalnga made by the Illinois "Casing company of Chicago are superior to any other kind.' ,.ru;v.v..,..i V . .. . . THEY SELL BALLOONS, BUT THEY ARE DETECTIVES. JUST THE SAME "Get. your' souvenirs heret all the kids want a balloon; eoovenlrs!" ' That's ths bark nv ths man with tha toy baloons on the circus ' grounds. There's always a balloon man some where In sight when you visit a cir cus. Ever . noticed inair v .t -' Well, it's a- shame to tell It, but ths balloon men are the rankest fakes. It's true they sell balloons, but that Isn't their reaf purpose J on - the . grounds. They're atMv?r'Tr7zrrtJ?.rr-' A bis circus wants to keep its name clean of any Imputation of carrying grafters along with It. Days were when crooks regularly traveled with circuses and were practically In leasnie with the management, wui. tnsi asy haa naaacd. A olicua like ths "4-Psw" aggregation has Its own well-regulated detective force, and every one of these sleuths Is a rattling good man. It's ths -Job of ths balloon man Mr keep his eyes open. Pretending to be looking out for trade, he Is in reality - -: ' - . V : L. looking for pickpockets. Hla sharp eyas . are - constantly boring holea through the crowd. - Shielded behind hla huge bunch of toys, he Is at an ad vantage and he makes 'the moat of it. Suddenly ' he sees a hand slip Into the pocket of on unsuspecting cltlsen. People are wedged In all about, and the man with ths nifty mitt thought he would be aafe. But the keen eyes of ths balloon man have spotted him A motion Is made and ths two men who have been standing nsar the balloons. apparently without a purpose' in -life, quickly seise the thief. It Is all over In sn instant. '. i - Ths custom la so well ecognlsed that tha toy balloon concession - is - never charged up to a circus when It pays a license for sideshows and hawkers. The sale ' of the balloons doesn't - pay ths man's wages. .It Is. said that aa the balloon men never make an arrest, pick pockets generally have not tumbled to the trick. , .: : . . SIGH PETITIOn AKO. ALSO SIGH REF.10riSTRANCE : Latourell Falls Men Find Them selves Straddling Liquor .'- , Question Fence. ' ' ' Ffve men of Latourell Falls signed a petition to the county court asking that a license to sell liquor In that precinct be granted, and then signed a remon strance against the license being issued. Each of them sent a certificate to the county' court explaining how It hap pened. Two of them, O. B. Brooks and H. N. Aldrlch. said it was by mistake. J. J. Butler said It waa due to a misun derstanding, while John Carlson and O. Weatlund called it misrepresentation. . - The law la that when , a man signs both a petition and a remonstrance the signature counts for the remonstrance, but no one ever before thought of try ing to explain it, and the law made no provision- for. an explanation. - So when Judge Webster is called upon to decide whether the license ought to- be issued or not, he wilt have a knotty problem to solve, snd no precedent to guide him. , A petition with tl signatures was pre sented asking that Charles H. Latourell be given a license to sell liquor In La tourell Fails. A .remonstrance against the petition bearing- 10 algnaturea was f lied. . The cltisens who object to the license alleg that soms of the signa tures on the liquor petition are of men who were net residents of their precinct. and that the remainder of them are not a majority of the. voters of that pre cinct. . ' The Dimes, of 'ths five men appear both, on the petition and on the remon strance, and whether the - license . is granted or not will probably depend on the ruling of Judge Webster aa to where tnese names belong. , t ,.. , terday afternoon' by ' the selection of Henrv A.

Then followed some wonderful preliminary work. ' The con spirators mspped out their own reserve. grew greedy snd added rive or six town, ships,' bribed Forest Superintendent Sal mon B.

With pockets bulging with applications for- school lands Sor enson went to Salem and added to the holdings - of - the " conspirators In the proposed reserve. . While Sorenson wss out - after an other load of applications Daniel Web ster Tarpley and Horace a.. McKlnley bribed Merrttt Qrmsby, aon of the for- ess reserve lupennunami, to ieu inem what , townships - were to - be Included In the reserve. .Acting on this Informa tion Tarpley gathered a bunch of ap plications, hurried to Salem and picked out 1S.000 sores. '.Sorenson was at his heels with enough applications to take up all remaining school lands, and was greatly surprised , to find that is. 000 acres had slipped out of his rsach. It la 'charged that when Mays learned of the unexpected ' grab he sent for Tarpley, rebuked him for butting In and demanded that he give -up his holdings. Tarpley offered to pay Mays 10 cents an acre for the land In dispute, and Maya replied, "That wouldn't even pay the- two men. we've got In Washing ton." Mays threatened . to have the lines of the reserve changed so as to ex clude the . Tarpley-McKlnley holdings. This alarmed Tarpley but after he had studied the map and found that the Maya crowd couldn't hurt him without crlppMng themselves he snd McKlnley held on and aald nothing. The summer of 1901 waa spent In per fecting the details of the great grab. As finally agreed upon the reserve ex tended from Baker City to Prlnevllle and Included about 1,000.000 acres.' Tho people of Harney, Grant, Malheur, and Baker counties didn't want the reserve, snd prominent - cltisens like John X Rand and Charlea A. Johns protested to Senator Mitchell,' who replied that he had nothing to do with It. but that the reserve was one of President Roose velt's pet schemes. . ... ' . "As a matter of fact," aald Prosecutor Heney, "President Roosevelt knew noth ing about the proposed reserve at that time, but. of courae, we don't expect to bring him ire as a witness." - ' v Deye Work la PrUsvtlle. - Just before the Blue mountain lands were withdrawn from entry J. N. Wil liamson, congreaaman-elect. ; James A. Boggs and Dr. Vsn Uessner thought they saw a chance to grab school lands In ths latest addition to ths reserve ter ritory. They skirmished a day In Prlnevllle and by paying 110 each man aged to get 4S applications for school lands, each application accompanied by an assignment.

V ' llamson and hla friends ' took up lands just outside the lines of ths proposed reserve, and it was understood that Williamson would go to Waahington de termined to have theas landa taken Into the reserve. ,. Withdrawal of lands from entry was only a preliminary step toward the crea tion of a reserve. It did not make school lands within the bounds valuable for sorlpplng purposes. ' That benefit waa to come with- the proclamation de claring a reserve. Before the year 192 ended the Hyde-Benson land fraud scandal broke, the department, of the Interior stopped sll reserve proceedings, and the conspiratp'-s, who hsd expected to make' $800,000, lost money. The Blue mountain forest reserve waa not actually created until May of thla year and before that happened the lieu land act of 1SST had been repealed. - prosecutor Heney in closing ssld that the object of the government In the land fraud caaea was to deter others from committing offenses.
