From Portland Point of View.
Portland, Sept. 2. Tho family of
Mrs. .Martha Bowers, who Is under

Mrs. Bowers telegraphed to her rela
tives here ior assistance, and Sunday
an attorney was sent to look after
tbo case and report to thoso hero.
One of tho sisters, Mrs. Hoot, says
that Mr. Bowers was not an ideal
husband by any means, but was the
sonrco of considerable trouble for
his wife. She says he usod to run
a saloon In Oregon City, and his rep
utation as a family man was none
too good. Ho once ran away with
tho hired girl, she says, hut his wife
captured him and forced him to re
turn homo. She does not know a
great deal about the domestic affairs
of her sister after sho married Bow
ers, as Mrs. Bowers never made a
practlco of complaining of her
troubles.

CARNIVAL MATTER IS BEING CONSIDERED
A meeting was held at tho Com
mercial Association parlors lust eve
ning for tbe purpose of considering
tho proposition of E. J. Arnold, to
hold a five-day carnival lu this city,
during the first days of October,
Mr. Arnold explained tho details of
tbo proposition which be had to of
fer, and laid tho matter before tho
business men present at the meeting.

nish a hand for the afternoon and

anos, attend to tho bill posting, news
paper advertising, furnish electric
lighting and a large stage, 20x24 feet,
and free use of whatever street room
was necessary for the shows to be
brought hero by Mr. Arnold,

was to attend to collecting all gate
receipts, and tako 15 per cent of tbo
totul proceeds from the nine or ton
attractions lu the carnival bill,
Mr. Arnold has nlno first-class at
tractions, which he would bring heie,
nnd would select tho vacant lot nnd
stroet between tho O. H, & N. freight
dopot and Shields' Park, as a loca
tion for his touts,
At tbo suggestion of R. Alexander,
It wus proposed that tho city raise u
bonus for Mr, Arnold, and he assume
all responsibility, furnish his own
band, pianos, electric light, stages,
and do the advertising, as he was fa
miliar with the details and wus more
highly qualified to prepare for tho
carnival than the city.
The matter was deferred until
this afternoon, nnd at tno tlmo or go
ing to press a meeting is being held
at which time both propositions will
be considered and some conclusion
leached.
Mr, Arnold proposes to bring to
the city nothing but clean, moral
features, whleh would not be objec
tlonablo to any one, and In addition
to tho regular shows. It Is the inten
tion to arrange a horso parade, an
agricultural exhibit, and other side
features will bo Interesting and in
structive. Among the attractions carried by
the Arnold company aro electric
shows, the Luretta Twins, Negro
Plantation, balloon ascensions, Jap
anese Jugglers, glass blowers, Scot
tish theater, sea serpent and an ani
mal show consisting of nlno wagons.
Tho prices of admission will range
