Funeral of Robert Bybee.
Robert E. Bybee, who died recently
in California, was buried in Portland
today. Mr. Bybee is the son of James
iu. .Bybee, one of the old. pioneer horse
men of Oregon. The : latter became
famous through the wonderful perform
ances of the horse Guigo, who, under
his direction and training, won 31, out of
37 races in 1890. Robert Bybee was the
owner of Misty Morn. Sea Breeze and
other noted racers now at the Blood
Horse track in California. Mr. Bybee
left Portland about six weeks aeo with
his horses, to attend the meeting at the
iay city. -
Few men are better known in horse
circles than Mr. Bybee. Portland has
been his constant home for the past 25
years. He studied law and was admit
ted to practice in 1866. He followed his
profession in Portland for many years ;
but more recently has devoted his time
and attention almost exclusively to
horses.
Floating; Ice.
About midnight last night the river at

WORKED THE LAWYERS. '
A Successful Scheme of a Man' From the
University of "Virginia.
A stranger claiming, to be a lawyer, a
member of a well-known Portland law
firm, and of polished appearance and
conversation, secured $35 from one of
The Dalles lawyers a few days ago.
Suspecting something was wrong the
fellow was arrested and is now in jail.
As he is well connected and seems to
have but lately entered himself as a
swindler, his father has been furnished
with the facts and a letter from - him is
awaited, pending a definite charge.
This is the same man spoken of in the
East Oregonian in the following article
and readers of that paper may be inter
ested to know that he is in jail here :
"There was a confidence scheme
worked on a couple of Pendleton gentle
men, the -other day, which had an
amusing outcome. A man called at the
office of the well known attorney, C. H.
Carter, and stated that, he was from
the - University ; of Virginia. - He
called by name all the members of the
faculty and was also evidently
acquainted with many of the citizens of
the town in which the school is located.
His name was Black, and he wanted a
small sum of money with which to ' pro
cure that with which to Batisfy the crav
ings of .-the inner man. j, v The- , above
named attorney is inclined to be philan
thropic and loaned him $10, "until the
bank opened in the morning." That
evening, the same stranger called on
another attorney in Pendleton, T. G.
Haley, and claimed to be a brother of
Mr. Pointdexter, of Walla Walla. Of
this attorney he also borrowed, some
money and departed for Portland.1 Up
on telephoning to Walla Walla, it was
ascertained that, the impecunious stran
ger had. worked the same . scheme in
that place. A telegram was : then sent
to Wirt Minor, of whom the stranger
spoke familiariy, in Portland saying
"Look out for a man from the University
of Virginia, with striped pantsJ'
That same day a brother of Mr. Car
ter, who sent the dispatch,, called, on
Mr. Minor, who sent back the following:
"Man from the University of Virginia
here. . Thanks." It appears that the
brother was a graduate of that institu
tion, and happened to have on striped
pants." ' . - "

The Crinoline' Crase.
The Telegram is first to report the ar
rival of crinoline in Portland. It started
in Europe, crossed the stormy Atlantic,
reached in safety the New England
shores, and, like a vast engulfing tidal
wave, has been moving toward the wild
and wobly west. It has set all the world
agog. Women have raved over it, the
press has teemed with accounts of its
progress, and the pulpit has not been
silent over the" threatened invasion of
the famous hoop-skirt. The tall hat,
which has been so long and so" loudly
execrated by all male theater and opera-
goers, is no longer in the contests, and
must be content to take a back seat for
the present. As yet, only one well-au-
theuticated "case" has been reported in
Portland, though it is no hazard to pre
dict that the new fashionable fad will
soon assume an epidemic form among
the ladies of the city.
Last evening the Marquam theater
goers caught the first fugitive glimpse of
a crinoline which has been seen in Port
land for probably a quarter of a century.
To old-timers the sight was not so novel,
but to hundreds of pairs of young eyes
it was a sort of wonder, a revelation in
the great world of fashion. The lady to
whom the credit belongs of introducing
the coming style of dress in this city
entered the crowded auditorium last
evening and advanced down the aisle to
a seat in the parquet. A great many
persons who had not obtained seats were
standing in the vestibule when- the lady
quietly entered and 'started down' the
aisle. A sudden hush fell over the
crowds, the subdued hum of conversa
tion was suspended and the lady with
the crinoline instantly became the
cynosure of all eyes as- she passed
through the ranks and down' to her seat.
As if moved by a common impulse,
every one stood aside to make room for
the lady. It is unnecessary to say
everybody looked, and, for a few mo
ments, the incident caused no small
flutter of excitement, especially among
the ladies present. Now that the social
ice is broken, it is very probable that
hoop-skirts will not long be a novelty on
the streets of Portland.
' Several months ago. the East Orego
nian . published an article in regard to
some Eastern' Oregon boys who intended
to drive from La Grande to Chicago,
the outfit proposed being an old over
land stage coach, drawn by a fonr-horse
team. It is now learned that the expe
dition is a "go." The party will con
sist of six young men from La Grande
and Pendleton, who will pose as cowboy
vocalists and musicians, and . will sell
patent medicine in the towns through
which they pass to defray the expenses
of theHrip. Review.

There's a good deal of guarantee busi
ness in the store keeping of teday. It's
too excessive. Or toe reluctant. Half
the time it means nothing. Words
only words. '
: This offer to refund the money, or to
pay a reward, is made under the hope
that you won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the reward.
Of course.
' So, whoever is honest in making it,
and works not on. his own reputation
alone, but through the local dealer,
whom you know, must have something
he has faith in back of the guarantee.
The business wouldn't stand a year
without it.
What is lacking is confidence. Back
of that, what is lacking is that clear
honesty which is above' the "average
practice." -
Dr. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed
to accomplish what they are intended to
do, and their makers give the money
back if the result isn't apparent.
Doesn't it strike you that a medicine
which the makers have so much confi
dence in, is the medicine for you.
