KENTUCKY FEOO
Former Sheriff Callahan Is
Dangerously Wounded
at Jackson.
(United Pran Leased Wirt.)
Jackson. Ky.. June 7. Edward Calla
han, former sheriff of Breathitt county
and a notorious feudist, was shot and
probably fatally wounded, early todiy
while opening his store.
The assassin was concealed In a coal
bunker nearby and made his escape
without revealing hts Identity.
Callahan, who Is known as "Deacon
Ed," has been actively connected with
the Deaton faction. The feud recently
broke out afresh and the . shooting Is
supposed to have been a result of that
fight. The ex-sherlff Is wounded In the
side and there la little chance for his
recovery. He Is a noted character in
Breathitt county, having teeii a close
associate of Judge James Hargla, who
was phot and killed by his son. The
shooting has created a profound sen
sation. Further trouble Is expeoted at
once and In the event of his death there
will probably be an open battle between
me contending factions.

est exhibition we have ever held." said

Eastern and Foreign Mills in
Need of AVool in Large
Quantities.
Wool buyers representing practically
all eastern mills and a number In France
are leading a fight for the wool of Ore-,
gon such as has never been known be
fore. Y. P. Dufour. representing prom
inent wool Interests in the New Eng
land states and In France stated while
at the Portland hotel this morning that
he was only one of 17 men now in Ore
gon bargaining for the wool sheared
this year.
"The market for wool was never so
keen," said Mr. Oufour. "Prices wjre
never better. We expect an unpre
cedented season's run of work If we
can provide the wool." ,
, Mr. Dufour will return to Pendleton
tomorrow and will negotiate with wool
growers for as much of their product
as they will sell. Some prefer to hold
their stock hoping to get higher prices
later. Mr. Pufour is a month ahead of
time In his annual visit to the west,
and he has never found It necessary to
come farther west than Montana before
In order to get all the wool his people
wanted.
Acceleration In wool manufacturing
business Is only one among majty
branches of Industry which are profit
ing by the return of nationally pros
perous conditions, Mr. Dufour says Iron
and steel mills are working full Jime;
other manufactures a.- doing as well,
and the hard luck story of die east la
a thing of the past.
William Rae. one of the leading Mon
tana wool growers, from Billings, Is

lots would exceed expectations. How
ever, the auditor's visit was unneces
sary, as the run on the booths had
subsided bef-ira he began his rounds
In an automobile hired for the pur
pose. In 19 praci.icta the vote cast up to
12 o'clock was only 1253, this number
representing less than one sixth of the
total registration. On the west side the
apathy of the balloters is equally noticeable.
An unusual quietness pervades the
vicinity of the voting tents. In a num
ber of these there was not a single
voter when tne automobile went past
and the clerks and judges were having
an easy time. Mr. Harbur thinks the
heaviest votine of the day will begin
about 5 o clock- this afternoon and con
tlnue until closing time as that Is the
period when the laboring men and em
gloves of the down town stores and
uslness houses visit the booths to cast
their ballots.
From the Interest manifested bv elec
tors In obtaining sample ballots at the
city hall the city officials anticipated
a healthy vote, but notwithstanding
the fact that more than 17.000 sample
ballots were carried away these antic
ipations are not being realized.

Cottage Grove, Or., June 7. "The
greatest wonder to me is how anyone
succeeded in getting out of the mass
of tangled wreckage alive," is the state
ment of T. K. Campbell of the Oregon
railroad commission, who with George
('. Goodale, also of .the commission, ar
rived here yesterday to Investigate the
cause of the wreck which came so
nearly annihilating the passengers and
crew of the Ill-fated train Saturday.
The commission Is making a strenu
ous effort to locate the cause of the
wreck and the people responsible for
It. The hridgo which gava way was
of the ordinary wooden type, 90 foot
span over Row river, about six miles
from Cottage Grove. The structure did
not burn, as was reported at first, but
gave way und-r the weight of the train,
presumably from the decayed condition
of the tlm!er3. The commission will
carry on the investigation until all the
facts relative to the condition of the
hrldge and thi traffic over It shall have
been secured.
J. B. Protiman. only official of the
company here, is suffering from serious
Injuries receive! In the wreck. "I have
no statement to make." said Mr. Proti
man. "I lent for the state railroad
commission, ami they will fix the blame
where it belongs."
Bared by Iron Bod.
Fireman John Cooter escaped from
the wreck by frwlmmtng across Rowe
river, after having been dropped from
the engine as the tender left it. He
was using a Btiong iron poker when
the accident occurred, and by holding
to It firmly used It to break the force
of the downward plunge, perhaps thus
saving his life. He was first to reach
safety and telephone for help.

(Continued From Tage One.)
at home here now Is because the build
ings have grown so much taller," he
observed. Then he came down to greet
Admiral Ijlchl.
The contrast between the two
naval officers is remarkable. Ad
miral Tjlchl is small and his gilded
trappings seem essential to his pres
ence. Admiral Sebree is of the finest
tvpe of American seaman. Wlthbut
his uniform he looks every Inch the
admiral. Standing six feet, three pr
more Inches In his stockings, he looks
out of eyes that would waver, no more
at a battle than a banquet. In fact
he seems to favor the battle most.
"I get just a bit tired of all this
ceremony, he said confidentially.
"Yet I want to pay every courtesy to
our Japanese visitors. T admire Ad
miral Ijlchl very much. He Is a splen- ,
did officer. We have been together a
good deal on this trip and he is very I
friendly. It makes me feel sure that j
we have nothing to fear from the Jap- j
anese. They do not want to make war ,
wun us, oui tney win oe ireaaing on
our toes In a business way very soon If j
we do not hurry some ourselves." '
Admiral Sebree's face Is weather
beaten and lined from facing the winds i
of the ocean. He bears the presence of ;
a 'manly man ana nis very manner
brings the conviction that the Pacific
coast could have no more loyal and ener
getic defender.
Admiral Sebree will remain In Port
land several days, the guest of his
friend. United States Marshall C. f.
Reed. The admiral lived In Portland i
during a period of some four years,
leaving here 20 years ago. He says j
he feels much at home in Portland In i
spite of the passage of time since he
was here last, and hmi he is prepared
to thoroughly enjoy his visit here.
He stated that the West Virginia,
Maryland and Columbia vessels of his
fleet would leave Puget sound for the
dry docks on Mare Island near San
Francisco. The South Dakota now In

a prominent Englishman today declared
that the most distinguishing character

natural leadership and his keenness for

.Roosevelt's praises as a marksman

has never claimed thathe Is an expert

a success and from that his reputa

Six solid carl6ads of Genuine Pia
nola Pianos, all of them the latest
styles, were shipped to Eilers Piano

derstanding on the part of our buyerand the manufacturers.,

a tremendous number pf latest Pianola Pianos of each of the various styles and.
in the various superb and costly woods and finishes used only by the world-re-,
nowned makers of this magnificent art product.
The second floor of our building will be devoted this week to the display
and sale of these truly wonderful instruments.
Never again will Portland witness a showing of so extensive and superb a
variety of styles and designs. " ,
There's many a "silent" piano in many a home, where there ought to be
a Pianola Pianoa Genuine Pianola Piano an instrument that is not "mechan
ical," but, on the contrary, makes it possible for every member of the family to
produce the choicest of music with perfect individuality and expression.
We are now prepared to takd. such "silent pianos" in part payment for one
of these very latest Metrostyle and Themodist Pianola Pianos, and we will make
it an object for any owner of such old-style piano to do business with us now.
Will arrange most unusual liberal terms of payment for any responsible
buyer not wishing on the spur of the moment to pay the difference -in cash.

at Eilers Piano House, Retail Department, "the always busy corner" at Park
