W. S. Keat, representing the Rambler

interested in the Rambler football team,'
and arrangements have about been com

day. This will be good news to all, for
aside from the fact of the enjoyment, it
affords a pleasant pastime for the holi
day. The Methodist church, both morn
ing and evening yesterday was crowded.
In the morning Rev. Thoburn, who is
the son of a missionary, and who him
self spent some years in the work in In
dia, addressed the audience on "mis
sions." So earnest was he and so elo
quent and touching his appeal, that all
agreed they had never beard a better
sermon on this subject. The missionary
apportionment of $96 for the church
here was raised with no special appeal.

In the evening Chaplain Lozier occupied

of Elks attended the Congregational
church in a body. No previous arrang

making it impossible for him to give an
address suitable to the occasion. How
ever, the sermon was much appreciated
by his listeners. The muBic was especi
ally good, a very pretty anthem being
sung, and a duet rendered by Mrs. But
ler and Miss Schmidt. V
Last night, while Miss Minnie Harper
and her sister were attending church
some one entered her residence, near the
East Hill echool, and ransacked things,
generally. This morning when she went
to her trunk to get her purse, she found,
that it bad been broken open and the.
purse, which contained $4.50 in change!
stolen. Undoubtedly the burglar is not

Forester Confined in County Jail-
In spite of the fact that nothing defi
nite had been given oat as to the traip
on which Sheriff Kelly would arrive
with his prisoner, curiosity ran so high
that for fear the opportunity of catching
a passing glance at Forester might b
missed, a large crowd was waiting at the
Umatilla House when the 5 o'clock
train arrived Saturday evening, joining
in the procession which conveyed tlie
murderer of Brogan to his quarters a,t
the county jail, which he will at least ocj
cupy until the February term of court
Sheriff Kelly reports an uneventful
trip back, the prisoner being very east

They were delayed for a half-day at
Sacramento on account of some slight
accident to the train, when he occupied)
the jail at that place. j
A winnemucca paper, witu wnose re-j
porter Forester conversed freely, said'
that after the killing, which he claims tcj
have committed iu self defense, hej
walked 150 miles, when he bought a;
horse and started for Nevada. On the)
way he encountered a traveler, whom!
he fell in with and to whom he dis-i
closed his crime, informing the fellow
that $1UUU bad been ottered for his ar
rest. On reaching Winnemucca hii
companion notified the officers, who im
mediately captured him.
Forester is now closely confined be-Ai
hind the bare, and no one is peimitted
to interview him, although the prisoner
makes no objection. During the entire
day yesterday the sheriff's office was
crowded with visitors, many of them
acquaintances of the prisoner, eager to
see him; but it is impossible to grant
their request, it being thought best to
exclude all visitors.
His case will not come up until the
February term of court.

were not an exception to this rule, and
those who were privileged to attend felt
that the hours spent with the Elks were

The music by the Columbia quartet

with such harmony and expression that

by Mr'. Wm. Crossen was bo well adapted
to the richness of bis voice that as he
sang "Rest, rest for the weary ; peace,

Michell was extremely eloquent and so
delivered that not an iota of its depth of

words in remembrance of the two de

Owen Williams, showed truly that their
faults had been written on the sands,
while their virtues were engraven on
the tablets of love and memory.
Those who had expected a treat when
it was announced that one of Oregon's

WHAT OUR CITY DADS DID.
Nothing of Great Importance mt Sstor-
day's Meeting.
At roll call Saturday evening at the
council meeting the following city dads
answered "present:" Kuck, Keller,
plough, Gunning, Stephens, Barnett
and Butts. -
alter tne reading of the minutes of the
last meeting, a slight correction was
made, when thev werA annrnvpd.
y Kuck, of the finance committee, re
ported, in the matter of the claims of
the city against the county for taxes,
which matter was referred to the finance
committee at the last meeting, that they
have not yet employed an expert to in
vestigate; therefore ask for further time.
C. F. Stephens, of the committee on
streets and public property, reported
that the committee had appraised the
city's lot on Third street, adjoining Bro-
gan'a property, at $1200, and recom
mended the same to the council, which
approved the recommendation.
The matter of the removal of all build
ings situated on public streets without
permission of the council, was referred
to the comtbittee on streets and public
property.
Dr. O. D. Doane and Geo. A. Liebe,
members of the school board, appeared
before the opuucil and Etated that they
had been served with notice by the mar
shal, notifying them to remove the nuis
ance caused by the water closets at the
school building-on Court street'. They
acknowledged that at the time com
plaint was made they werejn a bad con
dition, but that it was the first time
there had been cause for such complaint,
and that said cause would be removed.
However, as the district has already
spent much during the past year, and if
the notice were complied with it would
make an additional expense ot about
$700 or $800, they asked that it be not
required to put in patent closets, which
would also cause much trouble by freez
ing. Their request was complied with.
Regarding the electric liebt question,
the mayor and recorder presented the
matter by reading the contract submit
ted by the company to them and refused,
land the one presented by them to the
Company, which has not been acted up-
bn as yet. It seems there are some dif
ferences in regard to the situation of the
lights. No action was taken by the
council.
W. A. Johnston having changed bis
place of residence from the First ward, a
new councilman was elected. Council
man Keller placed in nomination Cbas.
Michel bach, who was elected by acclam
ation. It was ordered that sidewalks be con
structed on Laughlin street, between
Second and Third.
The claim of Douglas Dufur for $56.50,
premium, for insurance on city build
ings, was referred to the finance com
mittee. Officers' reports were then submitted,

Saturday being the 13th birthday of
Ella McCoy, a number of her friends
spent a very pleasant afternoon with her.
Upon their arrival they found the
parlors fairly enveloped in a spider web,
woven by human hanla. The work of
unwinding immediately began and Daisy
Deane reaching the.feoal first, captured
the prize. Afterward the game of Cin
derella's slipper engaged their attention,
at which Bessie Edon proved herself an
adept. Helen Lyte was equally unfortu
nate at both games, and . carried away
the booby piizea. The birthday iunch
was one which received no less attention
than did the gamep, and the young
misses did justice to it.
Those who ere fortunate in receiving
invitations were: Constance French,
Helen LytleJ Alberta Shepherd, Wini
fred Wilson Florence Williams, Hazel
Huntington,; Lena Moore, Nina Guthrie,
Lela and Lota Kelsay, Clara Dunham,
Lulu Nicholas. Luella' Nelson, Delia
