News of the onslaught at Adrianople IS regarded as a dying and master stroke on the part of the Czar Ferdi nand of Bulgaria, who at last reports had apparently resolved to besiege the cuy ana encourage the Turks to sur render by dropping shells anion them The effect of th shell overreached iner- expectations or the cxar. Firs sprang up liv various sections of the city with remarkable raplditv throueh- out the evening and at midnight the rireiit SKy could be seen for miles. Tha Tur gunners were helpless. Th Bui gsrs were .firing1 from the darkness with only the spit of the cannon to be tray ineir position. Boon after midnight the ciar ordered a general advance, one army detouring to tha north, another to the. northeast and a third to the south. At daybreak these divisions war at the outer for tifications and thosa that had not been devastated - by fire and flame were wrested from their defenders. Through their glasses the artillery officers on the heights saw a wild scene of panic stricken inhabitants stampeding mrougn me city a gates. The artillery fire was kept up covering the main body as they followed the advance guards. Before 'noon the advance had de veloped into a. series of vicious charges. One after another of the outer fortifi cations fell until the Invaders late to day held enough ground to repel any advancing .Turkish reinforcements, of which there can be none for the most formidable force of Bulgers stands be tween Demokita and the besieged city. The remaining Turks are prlaoners within their own defenses. At Uskub the method of attack of the Servians was a replica of the Bul garian tactics at Adrianople. The fall of the city has terminated four days of the most sanguinary fighting. The Turkish dead Is given as 6000, including several regimental and battalion com manders.

Mrs. Baldwin told the conference that she was sorry to. have to admit the shocking fact, but that her observations have convinced her that the cigarette habit among local women, especially among high school girls, has assumed such proportions sis to amount to a dis tinct menace to society.

IRK ISOf 1ST BE KEPT UP UNTIL LAST MINUTE Hi Colleagues Oppose Congress man's Measure Creating Preference Rights, Thousands of Republicans in Mult nomah county are flocking to the stand ard of Judge M. O. Munly, Democratic nominee for congress in the third con gressional district, which is confined to Multnomah county. They are deeply Impressed with the belief that A. W. Lafferty, the Republican Incumbent, now up for re-election, is unfit for the position he occupies, and they are rally ing to the support of Judge- Munly. Imbued with the opinion that the is sue is a contest between an honorable, clean and able man and one who has shown himself incapable of represent ing Oregon at the -national capltol, a number of citlsens have addressed the following petition to the voters and taxpayers of Multnomah county. Prac tically all those who signed the peti tion are men strongly identified with the Republican party. Here is the pe tition: To the Voters and Taxpayers of Mult nomah County: We, the undersigned cltiaens, most re spectfully urge you to a -profound study of the congressional situation in this district. Theraca Is between A. W. laf ferty. the present incumbent, and Re publican nominee, on one side, and Judge M.
