'EAST LYNNE.
Its
Counterpart in Real
j In The Dalles.
Life FoaDd
' Nearly everybody has read the dra
matical pathetic story of "East Lynne,"
has wept for the unfortunate, misled
Lady Isabel, has inwardly cursed the
treacherous, handsome, cowardly, pleasure-loving,
unfaithful Levison, and has
marveled at the stupidity of Archibald
Carlisle, otherwise possessed of a bril
liant mind." This story of fiction has
found its counterpart in real life, and if
one will substitute for Archibald and
Isabel Carlisle of East Lynne, the names
of Charles and ' Rose Brown of Boise
City, and Dr. Morrison for Francis Lev
ison, he will have a true story as pa
thetic in its details, as consumate in the
arts of a villain, and with a local appli
cation to more thoroughly impress the
story upon the mind.
Dr. Morrison and Mrs. Rose Brown
arrived on the -3 :45 train yesterday
morning from Pendleton... With Mrs.
Brown were two of her children a
pretty little sunny-haired girl of four,
small for her years, and a vivacious
prattling boy of : but two " and a half
years of age. On the same train also,
was H. M. Bolinger, who stopped at
The Dalles, and whose information was
successful in having them arrested by
H. Jackson, constable. Morrison
registered at the Umatilla house as J.
M. Morrison'and wife, Salt Lake, and
were assigned room 29. ' Shortly after
retiring the constable arrived, bearing
a warrant against them for lewd cohabi
tation. Morrison was taken to the
county jail and Mrs. Brown and chil
dren were taken to the European honse.
Today it develops that Mr. Brown is a
freighter and railroad contractor, owning
a pretty home in Boise City and pos
sessed of considerable means.: Two
other children were left, both boys, aged
6 and 8 years. - Bolinger Is a neighbor
employed by Mr. Brown to trace the
fugitive con pie. -
Morrison has been a "friend" of the
family for about nine' months, has no
known place called home, but is a wan
derer. He is a man of some genius, has
several medical diplomas and possesses
the faculty of hypnotizing. The charge
will be made against him that be has
used this dangerous art for his own ends
against both Mr. and Mrs. Brown. His
visits to' the house were frequent, both
when Mr.: Brown was absent and, at
home. He did not seem to be aware of
the intimacy between Mrs. Brown and
Morrison, but the neighbors have been
indignant for a long time, and last winter
it went so far as the organization of a
vigilance committee to drum the de
ceiver out of town. He is likewise in
bad odor at Pendleton, having , estab
lished, with an uneducated man named
Inman, a firm of physicians. Morrison
lent his name and diplomas only, In
man alone practicing on the other's sup
posed accomplishments and Inman has
been arrested and fined once or twice for
practicing.
The runaway couple left Boise City
April 3d, after an absence of nine days
of the husband, who had gone to Silver
City on a freighting tour. He returned
Saturday, the 7th, and at once took steps
to apprehend the guilty couple. Mr.
Bollinger, who lives next door to Brown,
found them first in Pendleton and saw
them take the train westward just in
time to board it himself. . He is now
waiting for . requisition papers . from
Idaho charging the man Morrison with
the crime of kidnapping.
Mrs. Brown, who was seen by a re
porter this morning, was found to be
somewhat non-communicative. She
finds no word of blame for Morrison, but
has expressed a willingness to return to
her home. She said to another party
she believed she was nnder hypnotic in
fluence, but denied it to the reporter.
She is a lady of fine, appearance and
shows cultivation and refinement. -

A
Revolution
In Eating
has been brought about by the
introduction of Cottolene, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shorterring has been lard, of
indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is well known that thous
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
' To such people, Cottolene is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. Cottolene
is a cooking marvel. It combines
with the food imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an ' appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion. -
Cottolene is worthy of the
careful notice of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic- properties. .

CASCADE LOCKS.
Cascade Locks, April 9, 1S94.
Editor Chbosicli:
The reflex tide from the great "ex
odus" of a week ago has set in, and
Cascade Locks is beginning to look alive
again. Nearly six hundred , men were
at work here on March Slst when the
river came ponring over the lower bulk
head. . . ' -
With fine weather in March and
everything seemingly favorable, the
beautiful masonry of the lift walls was
rapidly rising, tier upon tier; the upper
canal pit, with its busy excavation gaDga
looked like a swarming hive; every, de
partment was running at high pres
sure then came the relentless rise of
the mighty Columbia, covering all with
its turgid flood and then came the "ex
odus." Imagining that all work was
over for the summer, the workmen made
a run on the office for their pay checks,
each anxious to be first at the Bull Run
pipe line, and they stood not upon the
order of their going. The office force
worked night and day, and in an incred
ibly short time the hitherto crowded
Mess House was like unto "Some ban
quet hall deserted." But the men knew
little of that quality of reserve energy
called forth by a great emergency when
brainy men put their heads together for
a common object. Major. Post and
Lieut. Taylor the government engineers,
and Mesers. Day the contractors, are not
of the kind who are "put up a stump"
by the first unforeseen accident. They
are all anxious to complete the work as
soon as possible, and as a result of their
mutual wish a new dam is being
thrown across the canal just above
the lift wall. This will be com
pleted within a few days, and will
keep the waters of even the June
flood out of the upper pit and allow con
tinuous work not only for the excavation
gangs, bnt also for the masonry of the
upper guard gate. This is important
because when this gate is in place the
upper bulk head can be removed with
out flooding the lower pit. this fall, while
the walls now under water are com pie t
ing. '
Messrs. Day Bros, are building this
extra dam entirely at their own expense,
for it was impossible . to foresee and
thus provide ' for such an emergency t
when the contract was made, such an
early rise of the river, being unprec
edented. The putting in and taking
away of the "emergency dam," while
expensive, will in effect be like snatch
ing a victory from the very jaws of de
feat, and as an earnest of energy and
"get there".,on the. part of the powers
that be, the people of the Columbia
valley will surely appreciate it. '
When the summer flood's recede : the
masonry cow under water can be com
pleted and joined to that of the upper
wall, with thus a total delay of only a
week or two at the outside. Yours,
: - - - - i Tum Chuck.

The Curious Origin of Woman's Right to
Propose In Leap Year.
Some one asked me 'the other day
the origin of the privilege being' ac
corded to women .to propose during1
leap year, Bays a writer in an English
paper. : Not being" au fait with ' the
subjett, I handed the question on to an
energetic friend, who undertook to
look the matter up and let me know
the result. This is what she discov
ered: It appears that in the year 1288 a
statute was published by the Scotch
parliament, ordaining that during' the
reign of :"Her Maist Blessit Majestie
Margaret" every maiden and lady of
high and low estate should have lib
erty to speak to the man she liked. If
he refused to take her to be his wife
she should have the privilege of fining
him one hundred pounds, or less, ac
cording to his estate, unless he could
make it appear that he was betrothed
to another woman, in which case he
would be free to - refuse. After the
death of Margaret the women of Scot
land became clamorous for their priv
ileges, and to appease them another
act of parliament allowed them to pro
pose every fourth year.
The reply to the query as to why the
limit Is now restricted to seven years
comes not so trippingly to the tongue,
but doubtless some other energetic
soul can furnish the key to this little
puzzle. ' .
BROKE UP THE MEETING.
Devout Wish- for Strawberry Time De
moralizes a Church Service.
The atmosphere of the vestry was
characteristically frigid, and the few
worshipers stopped around the stove
as they came in. Among them, says
the Biddeford Journal, was one man,
now deceased, a well-known character
in his day, who came, from the north
of Ireland and had a rich brogue and
sonorous voice. He was very deaf,
and when he spoke it was in a tone to
correspond with his defective hearing .
He sat face, to the stove, and did not
hear that the service had commenced,
apparently .meditating on the se
verity of the weather, while one of his
brethren was. offering prayer in a
weak, piping voice'. . One other sat be
side him at the stove, and to him he
suddenly remarked with all the vol
ume of his voice and his rich brogue:
"I shall be glad when it comes time
for strawberry festivals, shan't you?"
His observation drowned ' the prayer
and temporarily broke up the meeting,
as the most devout worshiper could but
laugh at the mistake, the relation. of
which comes so timely, this week of
ungentle February, '94. :
". , The Khedive's favor. . -
It is well to be on good terms with
the khedive of Egypt. ' This, ycfung
monarch has lately presented a beauti
ful bracelet to a young English wom
an who . took his fancy, the value of
which is beyond calculation. It is
gold set with scarabei, and each stone
is upward of four thousand years old.
Some of these belonged to high priests
in the days of the Pharaohs, and the
inscriptions on them relate to .magic. " .
