Increasing; anxiety In shipping circle
la felt far the Rrltlsh steamer Aeon,
which left thl port July X and Ban
Francisco July 6 for Sydney, Australia.
Reinsurance on the m Using- vessels was
quoted this morning- at 40 per cent. No
word has been received of her arrival
at Apia, Bamoa. where she was sched
uled to put In for coal, nor have any fa
vorable advices oeen received at Sydney
from boats crossing her course.
The Auon registers 2,759 tons net and
loaded here nt the mills of the North
I'Hclllc Lumber company and the Pacific
Export Lumber company. Besides the
cargo she received here she loaded red
wood lumber at Eureka until she had
on board a capacity cargo. She sailed
from San Kranclsoo In command of Cap
tain lownle.
According to the usual running
schedule, trie Aeon Is now more than
threo weeks overdue. The distance from
8nn Francisco to Sydney Is generally R
li days' run for vessels of the type of
the Aeon. Had the steamer been any
where near on time he -would have re
ported at Apia about July 2i. but over
a month has elapsed since then and ad
vices are still hu-k'.ng
In shipping circles It Is believed that
with the heavy load she carried the
Aeon encountered a heavy sea and has
been disabled, perhaps seriously, al-
though all hope of her reaching port has
not as yet been relinquished.

ALONG THE WATERFRONT.
William J. Tallman la of a cross, sul
len and morose disposition, according
to the storv told on the witness stand
by Mrs. Katherlne Tallman. his wife,
who was an applicant tor a divorce
from her unpleasant husband. Mrs.
Talltnun recited a long list of griev
ances tending to show that life with
William J. Is not one long, sweet dream.
Tallinun. It appears, has been In the
habit of staying out nights, wandering
home along about II or 13 or 1 with a
grouch on, and when asked where he
nau heen. or grumpily telling the wife
of his bosom that It was none of her
business. On such rare occasions as he
did stay home, he. would sit around
without saying a word, not even answer
ing when spoken to. Furthermore, ha
would not go to the theatre with her,
or to stroll, or to visit their friends,
telling her when she nuked him to a-o. to
find somebody else to take her.
Mrs. Tallman has two children by a
rormcr marriage, and Tallman, It seems,
has not been exactly a father to them,
except In administering a thrashing oc
casionally. He would whip the lu-year-old
boy for not keeping the wood box
full, and even whipped: the 17-year-old

tent of paying the rent, "so ho would

this has done nothing, and Mrs. Tallman

Preparations are being made to enter

miser Puglla, now In Seattle, which
will arrive In Portland. September 4
and remain here until toward the close
of the month to have her machinery re
paired. The vessel Is hound for the
orlen t.
washing at night after he returned
home.
Judge Gantenbeln said that it was a
pretty close case, fie did not want to
be thought willing to grant a divorce
because the husband would not go to
the theatre with his wife, but other
considerations. It seemed to him, war
ranted the granting of th divorce, and
It was so ordered.
Minnie K. Hurke, who wa granted
a divorce thl' morning from Michael J.
Burke, appears to have been unfortu
nate, In her choice of hushar.ds. Michael
Is the second one She has shed In the
divorce court, the charges In both case
being the same desertion ana non-support.
Minnie Is now Miss Hrandanberg
for the third time, being one more al
lowed to resume her maiden name. .
Ellsworth C. Tabler "wa simply
shirtless. according to tha testimony
of Mrs. Clark, mother of Maul A. Tab
ler, another wife who sought and ob
tained a divorce this morning. Tabler
lust didn't want to work, eo he left
his wife and skipped out over a yoar
ago. leaving her to shift for herself.
Kllsworth didn't want any cene. It
seems, for he gave no warning of, his
Intentions. He Just started off ono
morning to work ns usual and failed to
com home again The divorce was
granted and the applicant allowed to
resume her maiden name of Maud A.
Uorworth
The suit for divorce of Susie B.
Vance against Alexander Vance was set
for trial but there was no appearance of
the parties. Vance Is doing 20 years
In the penitentiary on conviction of
having criminally assaulted his own
daughter.

had been a refreshing one In that the

Vaughn have been married about 2i
years and since their marriage have
made It a rulo to take a "honeymoon"

Among the places visited h- the bri
dal couple were Taooma, Seattle and
other sound cities. In returning they
visited North Yakima. Spokane and
Walla Walla. Of all the pines visited
the travelers were most impressed with
Walla YVnJla. which they say is advanc
ing rapidly and showing all the charai-"
it'ristks of a growing metropolis. Klec
