IIEWARE OF THIEVES!
Scores of Strange ItoblxTs Now nt
Work In Pendleton.
The city Is Infested with nn organ
ized prang of thieves and kidnapers of
children. If you hnve anything that
a good price will bring, then keep
your doors bolted at night; don't trust
them a bit, for depend upon It, they
will tukc everything that Is In sight.
They may be easily recognized, as
they are little old men, with long
gray beards, humped backs and
crooked legs. They work only at
night, disappearing as If by magic at
the first peep of dawn. Keep your
little girls at home evenings, for their
special delight seems to be to find
one who has strayed from home and
to kidnap her.
They have been here for over a
week and have been very busy, but
so far they have eluded the watchful
ness of the local police, and arc still
at large. If not captured before Mon
day evening, February 18, they will
then appear on the stage of the Fra
iler theater as the bold hobgoblin
band In "The Pixies," under the lead
ership of David Hill, who Is a goblin
chief to the manner born. Here their
antics may be safely enjoyed by the
parked house which Is sure to greet
them.
With them will be 40, boys gro
tfHiuey costumed as plxlrs, brownies,
Insects, monkeys nnd pickaninnies,
anil 150 little girls as bespangled
fairies, butterflies and pagcR. The
leading parts will be taken by Mrs. J.
S. tenders, as Prince Florlmel, Miss
Ollt.i Cooley as Queen Tltanla. Effle
I'nrkes as Angelica, anil Phyllis
Parkes as Cholly Chrysanthemum,

PEXDLETOX. MADE NO MISTAKE.
Illtulltlilc Pavement Adopted by New
New York Street Ronrils.
That Pendleton made no mistake
In adopting the bitullthlc paving
which has been laid on 11 blocks in
this city, Is shown by the following
from the New York Tribune, giving
the action of the board of public
works In Investigating! and accepting
the bitullthlc paving: f
Petitions for paving aggregating
some 760,000 square yards, and In
cluding such prominent boulevards as
Seventh, St. Nicholas and Lenox ave
nues, were presented, asking that the
streets be paved with bitullthlc pave
ment, a patented pavement controlled
by Warren Rrothers company.
Most of these petitions- were ob
tained and presented by the property
owners or tire taxpayers association:
and were further endorsed by official
reports and the appearance before
the proper authorities or numerous
associations, such as the Road Driv
ers, the Automoblllsts, Truck Owners.
Associated Cycle clubs, the League of
American Wheelmen, etc.
The result of these strong endorse
ment Inducpd the president of the
borough of Manhattan to send the en
gineer of highways to Investigate the
pavement where It has been Inld In
other cltjes. and It finally resulted In
the Oorouph engineer and commis-nils.-!oi"'r
of public works of other
hor'omh.-- nnkini similar Investiga
tions tliruusii their engineers, and the
official record of the proceedings Is
one of the strongest endorsements of
merit which any pavement has 'ever
received.
Escape From Reform School. .
Nine reform school hoys are at
larne as a result of a break made
at the school Sunday evening, says
the Snlem Statesman. At a late hour
two of the runaways were captured by
officers at the Indian school at Che
mawn, but the nine managed to elude
their pursuers. The boys made their
escape In two bands, and It Is believed
that both made their way toward the
north, nnd the greatest efforts are
being made to locate them In that direction.
ordinary honesty demands that we
shall draw a curtain over the faults
of others, that we possess ourselves.

INCIDENT OP MIMTAKY
REVIEW RECOUNTED.
"B. C. K." Relate for the Renders of
the East Orcgonlan a Humorous
Sketch From the War ' Career of
Abraham Lincoln 80,000 I'nlon
Soldiers Witnessed the Scene Near
Arlington, the Home of Rober: E.
Lee.
Pendleton, Feb. 14. (To the Edi
tor.) February 12 being the anniver
sary of the birth of that grandest of
all Americans, Abraham Lincoln, I
think It fitting to relate a little Inci
dent in his life of which I was an
eye witness and which, I think, was
never In print
The incident, as will bo seen, was
highly characteristic of the man and
took place only a few miles from the
tomb of that other grand American,
George Washington, whose birthday
also occurs In the'present month. In
the early fall of 1861 following our
disastrous defeat at Bull Run, the
army of the Potomac was encamped
In Virginia Just across the river from
Washington. The army had been re
organized and drilled nnd rcdrilled
by General McClellan until it was a
mngnlflcent body cf soldiers seem
ingly Invincible.
The general had IbsuimI an order for
every regiment, every company to put
Itself In "spin and span" condition for
the grandest military review ever
held on this continent, nnd there was
to be present Mr. Lincoln with his
cabinet and all their ladles, also the
high officers of the army and navy.
Foreign ambassadors and their at
taches with representatives in con
gress and senators, so you see It was
to he the biggest thing of the times,
even outd lng (?) Bull Run In many
respects.
Well, the lay nrrlved and about
SO.OOO Yankee soldiers were drawn
up In military rrray nn the Potomac
bottoms near the end of the famous
long bridge and nea'-ly under the
shadow of Arlington House, the after
wards famous General Robert E. Lee's
old home.
The men, I think, were drawn up
four lines deep (n company and regi
mental order, nt parade rest. Pres
ently a long cavalcade of carriages
and cavalry was observed crossing the
long bridge. As they approached our
front and passed down the lino many
comments were made by the soldiers:
"That's old Abe; I know him by his
length," says one. "That's Seward by
bts side. Sec hr.w dignified he looks."
"That's Stanton with the long whis
kers: see how ugly he looks!" and so
on.
The rear of the cavalcade was
brought up by Master Ted Lincoln In
a captaln'es uniform, mounted on a
small Shetland pony. The party
drove up nenr a small grove of sap
lings on a rise of ground near th
center of the parade.
As the carriages halted little Ted
rode around to the trees and hitching
h'i pony, went to the carriage occu
pied by his father and mother, also
Mr. Snwurd and daughter. After some
little ti.lk, which we could not hear,
Mr. Lincoln aroe to his feet In the
carriage and as his tall form drew up,
clad In the conventional long frock
coat an1 stove-pipe hat which he re
move' from his head, tile long pent
un "boors from SO.nno throats hurst
forth which I fancy the armv of the
confederacy coui.v plainly har In
their camps a few miles hack of Arl
ington. When the cheers had subsided Mr
Lincoln stepped from the can-luge
If I remember right, Ithlnk with the
exception of some of the ladles he
was t!i- only 0,,e of his personal party
that left their seats Master Ted tak
ing him by the hand led him over to
his pony. Aft..,- laughing and talking
with Tad and petting the ponv the
president suddenly threw one leg over
the pony, both feet resting on the
ground, he raised his hat and saluted
the soldiers. The effect was mighty
Hats and canteens flew into th nin
and the yells made the whole District
" vuimnia rainy rumble.
The picture was grand and humor
nt's. The president of the United
Mutes posing In an equestrian nt.itn.io
astride of a diminutive Shetland pony
, a sapnng' it looked as
though the careworn president wished
to put a little cheer Into the souls of
the hard-worked soldiers.
The situation even brought a broad
grin on the Iron face of Stanton and
the dignified Seward laughed while
the ladles were frantically "dee-llght-ed."
After passing down open lines
on foot with the general and his
flashy staff, stopping occasionally to
Rive the soldiers a word of cheer the
fatherly president entered his carriage
and the famous review was over
A few years later that same homely
fatherly man stood with uncovered
head on the battlefield of Gettysburg
and over the dead hero's graves, many
of whom witnessed the Incident above
related, pronounced the greatest eu
logy ever tittered by man.
