Stenographer Discloses Pro

(Pnlted Press Lenwd Wire . ,
San Francisco, April 21. Interest In
the affairs of t!o!onel W. O. Greene, the
mining kin fr. who recently encountered
financial difficulties, is revived by the
publication of testimony1 ot Anna C.
Busteede, a public stenographer, who
has commenced action demanding tho
removal of Samuel N. Rueker as admin
istrator of the estate of the late Major
Frank McLaughlin.
Miss Busteede alleged that United

of Eureka and 1. M.J O'Qorram of Los
Angeles were Involved in a suit for $10,.
000.000 which McLaughlin -was Instruct
ed to file agrainst. Greene. This suit was
was a shade: not a shadow.
"I was vlsittnr with friends In an
old fashioned North Carolina town. In
fact we were havlnr n kind nf house
party, j l had sold my territory and was
taking" a little vacation. . It was dur
ing the Spanish-American war and one
of the young ladies with whom I was
quite friendly had a brother who waa
lieutenant in a comtjanv which was
seeing ' service at the front.. We had
been hearing' renorts of battles with the
Moros, and naturally she was very anx
lous for his safety. ".: . ,
Or.o evening this youngr lady and I
were out.drivlna-.. In the dusk the fig
ure of a man suddenly appeared before
us. Need 1 say that I was surprised
when my friend a-rasned mv arm and
exclaimed. That is my brother.' How
could he have come back so soon. Let
us drive om quickly and catch up with
him.' I whipped up my team and drove
on at a SDankinar e-ait. But the fianre
kept just the. same distance ahead of
us. i lasned the horses into a gallop,
the flzure was lust in front of u.
moving without a perceptible effort, I
began to ""have atr uricanny: feHngv
'.'We had reached the grounds : of the
home where we were being entertained
when the figure suddenly disappeared.
Thinking. wa had been deceived in some
wa the younar ladv and mvself asrend
to say nothing about the incident. The
next day came the -news that the broth-'
er had been shot and killed In the Phil
ippines. " , :
"The man who can explain that af
fair can probably explain this one, too.
We were seated in the gray of the
evening- on the broad veranda that ex
tended most of the way around the
house. Lotiklny up I saw a little old
woman, dressed In gray from head to
foot tripping down the stairs. I called
the attention of several other members
of the party to her and we watened
her She came out on the verandah,
passed within a half dosen reet of me,
actually : brushed by one of the girls,
went down the steps and disappeared.
"We asked some of the older members
of the home concerning the visit of the
iaay in gray ana tney assurea us mat
no such person had come to see them.
Then they revived a story about a
freat-great-aunt who had mysteriously
lsappoared at one time and no traoe
ever found of her. We were advised to
watch on the porch again.
"The next evening there was no pos
sible chance , for hallucination. We
were all watching; we all saw the lit
tle old woman in gray come down the
front stairway, walk quickly across the
porch, down the steps and disappear.
The next day workmen were employed
to take away the steps. Under the ve
randah we found a whitening skeleton
on one of the bony fingers was a runt
that had belonged' to the great-great-aunt.
A suitable funeral was held, then
tne house party broke up. You may not
be surprised to learn that I never ac
cepted . another Invitation to visit In
that bonus.-". . . -. ' v.-:

The fact can not be denied that re-
marcable changes are taking place'
tha retail shoe business. TJbe public
getting wise to- the fact, that when a
single shoe making 'concern can. pay a
auarter of a million dollars a year for
advertising, there must be a marvelous
profit in shoes. The many remarkable
advances that have been made in ma
chinery for the making of shoes during
the past few years, have considerably
lessened the .cost of .making .footwear.
Yet It la a fact that. good shoes cost
more today at retail, than waa paid for
them by the consumer five years ago.
The Wright fiample' Shoe Shop, which
has recently been opened in the Ore-
gonlan building, is a lively start
towards solving the problem for shoe
buying at retail. These parlors are lo
cated on the sixth floor of the Oregon-
Ian building, and in the first place the
proprietor saves the enormous rent that
would be exacted of him If he did busi
ness tn a store off a main street
The Wright Shoe Shop is In direct
communication with the largest manu
facturers and wholesalers In the coun
try. -It secures direct from them. Im
mense shipments of their samples, and
as everybody knows a sample is the
most perfect thing of Its kind. .' ' "
Since opening my parlors," said Mr.
Wright, "I have sold thousands of pairs
of shoes, and It Is only a matter of time
when ' I shall require many additional
rooms. My dealings with the makers
and wholesalers. Insure my purchasing
several thousands of pairs of shoes each
month. Good sample shoes for men
and women. In the ordinary retail
stores these shoes sell for lt.60 to $8 a
pair. I have made a flat schedule Tor
these samples - and never charge more .
than $2 a pair for women's shoes and
$2.60 a pair for men's shoes. I sell the
finest shoes made and oan fit every
body, no matter how fastidious may be
their tastes, or whether they require
the strongest and most durable .kind of
shoes for every day walking and work-
ng purposes. .1 keep open dally until 6
p.m. and Saturday until 10 p.m., and I wel
come every visitor to my parlors, wheth
er they come to buy or to look over my
stock. Especially do I extend a cordial
welcome to all those whoarle In any
way skeptical about tfWquallty of the
shoes I offer at such remarkably low
prices."
