An uncouth looking individual, s-up-po-ed
to be 11 gypsy, tried to entice! come
Rmall children away Thursday night
from near Mr. Wood's1 house on Fourth
street, in the Fust End. Mr. Wood
'has a very handsome little hov. who ! 20 yards Print CallCO. 101'
with others, wa.H playing in the street j ' '
near hv about s;:io o'clock in the even-1 3 pairs Ladies' Full-Finished Hose, for
ing. The trange looking man ofl'ered I "
him candy if he would go 11 little piece 2 36-inch. Lineil Towels, foi
with him. The children all became " ...
frightened and ran towards- home, the 3 Bathing Towels (Turkish), for
man in pursuit. As thev n cured the 1
house, Mrs. Wood came out and he iravo ' 2 FailCV Tidies, for
up the pursuit. If he had been sueecHS
fill it in doubtful if Mr. or Mrs. Wood
would ever have seen the child again.
Gypsies are skilled in the art of evad
ing pursuit and there is no means of
estimating how mum children thev kid-
! nap. They do not confine themselves to
a limited territory, but operate through
out half the Tinted States, and a child
j stolen in Colorado would perhaps never
j be known in Oregon. These gypsies be
1 long to bands of from SU to 100, several
families of them, and they are perpctu-1 rr
any ciianging, dividing and redividing,
so that if a clue is once obtained it can
not be followed long. Their code of
morality is a verv loose one, and voung
children stolen of course grow to imbibe j
the same dangerous principles. No one
can bo too careful of their little ones,
when gypsies are around, and if one is
detected in child stealing ho should be
captured or killed on the spot if there is
any possibility of doing go.

I.N.Day. Jr.. arrived at the Locks
today from his eastern trip. There is
today ninety-six stone cutters at work
and work is being pushed with more
vigor than at any time since the com
mencement. A scurrilous report reflecting upon
the character of Aiisse-; Aquia and llol
comb was started today, but was
promptly hushed by a "committee"
who waited upon the unconscionable
liar, and he will now prudently keep
his mouth shut.
The Regulator's daily quota of pas
sengers is large, and transports a good
many more people to Portland and way
points than the trains. Cheaper fare and
the chance of better seeing the peerless
scenery along the Columbia river are
factors favorable to the boat line.
Miss Aquia so exhausted herself yes

and later in the evening, with her

this
monitor, and is one of the most formid
able coast defense ships in our navy.
There is a distance of about 50 feet be
tween the turrets and during an en
gagement the ship can be sunk in the
water until only a foot of it is visible,be
sides the turrets. The vessel is almost
proof against projectiles, as unless a
ball happens to strike these circular
turrets squarely, it is apt to glance
aside. Within the turrets one man is
sufficient to man the guns. These are
ureech loaders and may be turned at
will by means of pivots. They can be
loaded, aimed and lired bv the operator
in an incredibly short time. All parts
of the vessel are lined with an nrmm-
well-nigh impenetrable, and what is he-
low the surface is also protected with
lighter armor, as the forco of a ball is
gieatly letseued after striking the water.
