Considerable excitement was occa
sioned on the streets this afternoon by
the arrest of two men who were supposed
to be the robbers of Saturday night.
The men were seen in the city jail by a
reporter. They were quite indignant
over their arrest and claimed to be
totally innocent. Also that they had
families who would suffer by the publi
cation of their names. For this reason

INFESTED WITH ROBBERS.
Two Store Robberies Last Night and
Another Attempted.
The town seems to be infested with
robbers. .There were two robberies last
night, besides an attempted robbery,
and another theft Saturday night has
been reported.
Some time before 1 1 o'clock the corner
window of Mays & Crowe was broken
and four revolvers, which were within
easy reach, were taken, . One was a 44
Colts, another a 44 Smith & Wesson, a
32 Forehand & Wordsworth and the
other a make not known. A Winches
ter rifle which stood in the corner and
just as easy to take, was left. The value
of the stolen revolvers is in the neighbor
hood of $40. . .. . . . , -
. The evening before the clerks of the
store were talking about the- ease with
which this window conid be robbed, and
decided on taking the cumbers of the
pistols the following day.
The front window of Sam Klein's
second hand store was also broken be
fore 9 o'clock last night, but the robbers
evidently became frightened before mak
ing an entrance, for nothing was missed.
Two young men of the town were stand
ing across the street from Mr. Klein's
and heard the crash of the glass. : Look
ing over, they .saw a man leaving the
place and disappear in the alley, but
supposing he had broken it accidentally,
did not follow him. ,
Mr. Vanbibber missed forty rolls of
butter this morning which were taken
during the night, and Saturday night
Paul Kreft loet a tent. The mayor con
templates putting on an extra force of
police. .
I). P. Thompson on Turkey.
A good-sized audience greeted Hon.
D. P. Thompson at the court house last
night, to bear his lectuie on "Turkey."
For an hour and a half he 'entertained
them on the manners and customs, of
the Turks and their history from 504
years before Christ to the present time,
and of the progress made by them in the
last century, particularly the last half
of the century. The present sultan has
introduced a system of compulsory edu
cation whereby all males between the
ages of 6 and 16 must attend schools,
and are taught to read in three lan
guages. Females are not permitted to
go, and are virtual slaves. When the
sultan was asked by Mr. Thompson why
not educate the girls, he merely shrugged
his shoulders and made no other reply.
The Koran is both the law and the re
ligion. The sultan holds the United
States in the highest esteem of all the
nations. Mr. Thompson .is considered
a man of great wealth, yet when he was
introduced into the presence of the sul
tan, the room was furnished so gor
geously as to make him feel ill at ease,
the throne alone being worth all of his
fortune. The magnificence of the rugs,
as well as other furnishings, is simply
bewildering. The carpets are woven
with gold thread and diamonds are
used in every available place. Mr.
Thompson compreseed a great many
facts into the allotted space of his lec
ture, and one of its greatest charms was
the Simple, unassuming . manner in
which he describes Bcenes that he had
actually witnessed.
THE ART OF EATING. .
A Branch of Education la Which Amer
icans Are Woefully Deficient.
"When my children get to the proper
age," said the man who was smoking a
briar pipe, "I intend to have them
taken in hand by some competent per
son and gi ven a thorough instruction
in the art of eating, and, f urther, in
the science of finding out what to eat
and orderinpr.'
"What do you mean?" inquired the
man who sat next to him.
"I mean this: The average American
citizen is woefully deficient in knowl
edge of what he can get to eat. He
falls down when it comes to ordering
a dinner. The great majority of peo
ple in this country are brought up
frugally at home and do not know any
thing but the commonest dishes. The
consequence is that when a man goes
into a restaurant for dinner or to a
hotel he gazes helplessly at the bill of
fare and sees many things of which he
does not know the component parts.
He dares not order anything that he is
not sure of, for fear of ridicule, and he
falls back on roast beef and mashed
potatoes. The fact is, he doesn't know
anything but roast beef. Same way
in a restaurant. When a waiter shoves
a bill of fare under a man's nose nine
times out of ten he will look it over
and then say: 'Gimme a steak and
some fried potatoes.' Now, the man
who does this day a fter .day doesn't
want roast beef. He is sick unto death
of steaks and fried potatoes. He
loathes ham and eggs, and yet he keeps
on ordering them in dreary and dys
peptic succession, because be- doesn t
know any better and he is too pround
to confess his ignorance. It's that way
with me, and I'll bet it's that way with
most of you. I am going to relieve my
children Of all these ttungs. They're
going to know . what's what , when it
comes to eating. 'No roast-beef domi
nation!' shall be my household slogan."
And the rest of the party, says the
Buffalo Express, thought it over and
concluded that . he . was pretty nearly
right. - - - - - " '

such as powder, pins, etc. The labora
tory is also supplied with every con
venience needed for his work. He has
an aluminum furnace, porcelain furnace,

he is as well, if not better prepared to

NEWS OF THE STATE.
Diphtheria and scarlet fever ia begin
ning to make its appearance at Milwau
kie and Sell wood, suburbs of Portland.
An old prospector of Baker City named
John McCloud was found dead in his
bed Monday evening. He left a letter
stating that after careful deliberations
be had decided to take his. life, which
the press would call cowardice, but that
he would rather be called a dead coward
than a living bum.
A destructive snowslide occurred at
the mining camp of the Cornucopia,
east of Union, at about 6 o'clock Mon
day morning, the Oregon Gold Mining
Company being the principal sufferers.
The slide occurred near the Whitman
mine, carrying away the tramway, sta
tion No. 1 and partially wrecking the
terminal. Considerable anxiety is felt
in regard to the waters of Pine creek, as
the bed of the stream has been dry be
low the slide since it came down, and a
large amount of water must be accumu
lating above. How far the slide ex
tends above the mill is not yet known.
The snow is over eight . feet deep in
camp.'

THERE WILL BE NO FIGHT.
That Is the Declaration Made by Gov
ernor Mitchell.
Tallehasse, Fla., Jan. 19. If Gover
nor Mitchell has any intention of aban
doning his fight against the Duval Ath
letic club, he does not show any signs of
it. . On the contrary, he seems more de
termined than ever and has laid plans
which he says cannot fail. When ap
proached today he said.
"You can "announce that I'm going to
prevent thfs prizefight, for that's what
it is, no matter bow many other terms
are applied to it."
"But it ia hinted that Jacksonville
militia has declined to aid you," was
suggested.
"That's not true," said the governor
sharply, "but if they did happen to so
decline it would not affect my plans in
the slightest degree. I'm going to pre
vent that fight, and that's all there is
about it. Corbett and Mitchell cannot
fight in this state."
"Have you read that the club has sev
eral other plans in view if Jacksonville
is abandoned?" was asked.
"I have," said the governor, "and I
repeat emphatically that the fight shall
be prevented in the state of Florida. I
grant you that they may sneak off in the-
woods somewhere and have it out, but I
don't see how even this can be done. ' I
shall not' call upon the Jacksonville
militia. -. Some of them are in favor of
the fight and have friends who are in
tesested." . - . '
"Then you will employ the militia of
some other point of the state?"
"You may draw your own conclusions.
The adjutant-general has planned to
cover every point which might be avail
able, and his men are men who may be
depended upon. I am prepared, in any
event. Now, then," said the governor,
in conclusion, "I think I have made
myself plain. . If anybody comes to
Florida to see a fight and don't see one
after spending time and money, he can
only blame himself. - There will, I re
peat once more, be no prize-fight here."
"The adjutant-general would say noth
ing of his plans further than the fight
would surely be prevented.

Spokane, Wash., Jan. 16. An opium
smuggler doing business on a big. scale
was caught here today, and $15,000 worth
of opium was captured. The prisoner
gave the name of S. B. Davis, but ad
mits it" is not his true name. His ac
tions excited the suspicion of two bag
gagemen at the Union depot. Officers
were summoned, -Davis arrested, and
four trunks were seized. He ad
mitted his guilt, and the trunks were
found to contain more than 1,000 pounds
of contraband opium. ' He was held for
trial in $5,000 bail. Davis' method has
been to pass through British Columbia
as a traveling man with four large sam
ple trunks labled hardware. The opium
was loaded at a point on the coast and
taken east to the Kalis pell river, then
down into Montana to a point on the
Great Northern. The lucky baggage
men will get a reward of about $7,000.
