"Citizens of Pendleton will re member when I was here four years ngo I asked them to contribute for monument to be erected in their own city and one at Meacham. The re sponso came generously as Is evi denced by he fine granite monu fent nt the foot of the mountain and one at Meacham also. "I am now here on a different mission. Many have wondered why this second trip over the Trail to the Missouri river, and some have Jump ed at' the conclusion It was made at the Instnnce of the government and Ih paid for by the government. This Is not so, and the work Is supported exclusively by contributions from the general public. "This second trip has been made necessary because of tho provisions In the bill now pending In both houses of congress appropriating fifty thousand dollars for the work which requires that we must satisfy the Secretary of War that such sum is sufficient to complete the work and It Is to secure the data to enable us to accurately estimate the cost that tlilH trip has become necessary. "We may never get the bill through and so while selecting the points where It Is desirable to have the' granite markers If the government takes the work in hand, we are planting galvanized Iron pipe set In cement that will preserve the Identity of tho Trail for a century or more longer than any of us now living will remain and so I again am here to again appeal to the citizens of Pen dleton to aid In the arrester work as they did four years ago."

An amusing account of the way In which the Inhabitants of i, small Hungarian village prepared for the end of the world has reached Vienna. In Nagy-Szt-Miklos, a vil lage in the Theiss Valley, the Inhabi tant? have been expecting the end of the world for some weeks, believing that on the appearance of Halley's comet the whole globe will bo smashed to atoms. Some days ago a large fire broke out toward midnight in a neighboring village. The watchman, seeing the fk.es lighted up, walked through the streets blowing his horn to rouse the Inhabitants and shouting: "The last day has come!" The people rushed half clothed from their abodes to die In the open. Men trembled, women screamed and the children cried. What followed was a curious satire on the actions and thoughts attribut oil to the dying writers of poetry and fiction. Tho simple people consider ed first that all the provisions In the village should be consumed. A large flic was lighted in the square In front of the church, and there food and drink of all kinds was brought out of the houses. Everyone Joined In a hurried orgy, while hasty prayer? were jiiade between bites for the sal vation, of their souls. With his feet wired together and a cloth gag tied across his mouth, Dale Maggert, aged 12 years, who lives with his mother at 301 South Main street, was found lying across a side track near the Pendleton Ice & Cold Storage plant yestorday morning. He was ound by a switchman to whom th'e boy declared he had been seized by a stranger, bound and gagged and then placed on the track. It subse quently developed that he had tied himself and- then laid down across the rails, knowing he could get out of the way If a train should be switch ed onto the track before he was found. According to the story told Chief of Police Gurdane, who secured the con fession from him, he had been out late at night with the Hutchinson boy, who has figured In several Juvenile court escapades. The Maggert boy says they were out bo late that he was afraid to go home, knowing he would receive a whipping. 'He therefore crawled Into the Furnish warehouse, YOUNG BOY CREATES SENSATION IN ORDER TO ESCAPE WHIPPING T: R. CRUSHED i BY WELCOME Surging Greets Multitude Which Him Carries Him Off His Feet' ALL HUNGARY DOES i EX-PRESIDENT HONOR hlef of Police of Budapest Gets Leg Broken in Crush Which Follows Arrival of Roosevelt Colonel Is Carried Forty Feet Before He Es cax's Greatest Reception Yet Ac corded Him Journey Like a Tri umphal Procession. Budapest, April 18. The chief of police today is suffering from a brok en leg sustained in a terirflc crush of people who swarmed to the rail way station to sec Colonel Roosevelt last night. The colonel himself was lifted off his feet and carried forty feet before he could escape. The po lice chief was knocked down and trampled upon. Today Roosevelt called on Archduke Joseph and Pre mier Sedervaiy and also visited par liament. The reception given Roose velt here has been the most enthu siastic of any he has yet received. 1 Roosevelt broke away from the royalty long enough to visit Francis Kossuth, who Is confined to his apart ments by illness. Kossuth was over Joyed at the unexpected visit. The- journey after Colonel Roose velt left the train at Pressburg. to spend the afternoon with Count Ap ponyl whom he had entertained at Washington and Oyster Bay, assum ed almost the character of a triumph al procession. The entire- population of the ancient capital of Hungary turned out, the mayor and other city authorities greeting the ex-president at the station. They welcomed him as the apostle of liberty and of peace. At the three villages each made up of a different race. Magyar, Slovak anil German the party- crossed through on the automobile trip to the Apponyi castle, Colonel Roosevelt was met with equal enthusiasm. In each instance, the president of the village, the priest, the school master, the fire brigade in uniform and the school children In white Sunday frocks and sashes bearing the Hungarian colors, stopped the automobile to offer flow ers and words of welcome. Teddy Rebukes Reactionaries. In his address to the Hungarian parliament today Roosevelt rebuked the political reactionaries who sneer a', all efforts at progress. He de clared the reactionary spirit Is en countered In all legislatures through out the world. He cited the opposi tion he encountered while president, in efforts to "secure Justice tempered with kindne&s and common honesty in business and political and social pro gress of the nation." Elopement Hereditary, Pittsburg. r"I have advised' my" re maining son, Hansen, who Is now 18, to elope as speedily as possible, and complete the family record for elope ment." This was the way In which Mrs. Lucy McCook. a widow, responded to the news that her eldest son. Sheldon, Sheldon, had eloped with pretty Ima Ayers the 17 year old daughter of Archibald C. Ayers, the 17 year old daughter of Archibald C. Apers, of the Fidelity Trust and Title company. The young couple were married in Wheeling. where he slept until morning and then In order to have a plausible story to tell his mother, proceeded to wrap some balling wire around his legs, tear a strip of muslin off of a sign board which he placed across his mouth and laid down across the rails. His hands were free and he was not fastened to the rails or ties in any way. To get out of the way of a train woufd have been an easy matter and with his makeshift gag he could have let out yells that would have been heard for blocks. Therefore, though he put up a bold front for some time and convinced many that he had really been seized by a man, he did not fool the chief of police, and after a brief period of sweating he made a complete confession. Maggert Is only 12 years old and Is small for hig sge, but he had fixed up a story which sounded plausible to many. He said he was seized while on his way home by a man he had seen following him at five different times during the afternoon, and that he had spent the night on the track. CHIEF GURDANE ROASTS DOG CATCHING "BLUFF." Where Is Harry Hart, much herald ed dog catcher who was supposed to commence the catching of the Pendle ton canines on April 15? If tho aforesaid Mr. Hart has done any thing thus far In the clog catching line he has been very secretive about It. "I am afraid this whole business has been the same old bluff," declared Chief of Police Tom Gurdane In Irony today. "Every year the council makes a big bluff about a dog catch ing crusade, but usually nothing comes of It. A few innocent parties like Charles H. Carter pay their li censes; others tie their dog; In their yards for a few days until the alleged storm Is over. That Is the end of the thing and the "crusade" closes with about one dog being caught. I am disgusted with the dog catching busi ness. As for Harry Hart I doubt if there Is such an Individual." PUT POISONED CANDY ON STREETS FOR CHILDREN Mount Vernon, Ohio, April 18. A score of detectives are working to capture the persons who during last week have scattered poisoned candy in the streets in what Is believed to be a fiendish attempt at a wholesale slaughter of children.

The city council will meet in an extra session this after noon to offer a large reward for the poisoners. Richest Strike in Years. Nevada. City, Calif., April 18.

The left leg was severed diagonally near the hip while the right foot was cut off above the ankle. Though injured internally in addi tion to having both limbs severed the young man never lost consciousness and during the two hours he was compelled to wait for transportation to the rendieton hospital, he crack ed jokes with the trainmen, keeping up his courage to the last. According to the father, who is here today, the boy left home last August and was a hard working honest youtig man, whose only faults were a desire .to wander and to steal rides from the railroad company. The body was shipped to Rosalia this afternoon for interment. "YOV ARE JUDGING MY BABY." French Woman, on Trial; Makes Pa thetic Plea In Court. Paris. "It Is my baby you are Judging," sobbed a young mother, as she held her child In her arms In a Paris court, where she was being tried for having attempted to stab the father. The Judge steeled his heart as best he could against her tender appeals but this task was made more severe by the pathetic eloquence of the lady counsel, Mile. Mlsopolska. who pleaded for the mother. What was a mere man. though a Judge, to do In such a distressing situation T He cut the gordlon knot by sentenc ing the mother to six months' Impris onment, with the benefit of the First Offenders' act The mother's Bobs be came hysterica! at this point. "Here, take my baby and nurse It while I go to prison," she screamed and offered to place It In the judge's arms. It took a lot of persuasion from the Judge, the public prosecutor, and the lady counsel to make th mother understand that she would not have to go to prison as long as she kept the peace.
