B. Tongue up, won the second run for the Miss Anne Shogren cup. F. W. Leadbetter, on Rockfeller, was second, and T. T. Strain, on Bag dad, was third. The course was eight miles, with seven jumps, and the run was made in less than twenty minutes. This makes the second time that Mr, Tongue has landed Oregon Kid in front and twice Mr. Leadbetter haa been sec ond. Both races were over a long route and were made ia remarkably fast time, which shows that the thor oughbreds now owned by the Hunt club members are equal to a long run, and can finish with plenty of run left. The run yesterday afternoon began at the Seven Corners and the Section Line, road, and finished on Kelly avenue. The recent rains made the footing deep and sloppy, and the downpour of rain which came on just as the twelve horses were sent off made the ride a hard one. From the time the big field was sent off until the finish it was a horse race. The seven jumps were maue up oi uiicn es and fences, and several of them were very stiff. This did not stop the riders, neither diJ the brugh work that the riders had to do check their speed. The rain did not seem to keep any one at home, and, in addition to a large gal lery of riders present, the street-cars carried out many spectators. rbe hares were President F. O. Down ing and J. C. Muehe. Owing to the bad footing, some of the jumps were discarded, but, at that, there were enough left to make the ride at times a bit perilous. C. II. Leadbetter, who rode Racivo, had some hard racing luck. His stirrup strop broke just at a time when he was well in front, and the mis hap put him praotically'out of the race. The Washington County R.

In the dia cusslon of vital topic, in romance, in action, in humor, and In verse It runs the gamut of human experience. It is a number with never a dull page and crowded, too, with sound, solid matter which takes high place in the arena of public discussion matter that it is not IMissible to miss and yet preteud to fol low the drift of civic life. The subtleties of franchise-getting, the great game of the greatest spoilers of the public purse, become the merest simplicities after the clarifying brain of Kay Stannard Baker, has digestod them in "The Subway Deal" which is the leading story of this number. The Sub way, nourishing a new and more rapa cious mono(oly, has but given New York a change of masters. Mr. Baker digs deep into the "deal" and turns up the roots (or the light of publicity to kill. The issue is familiar from one ocean to the other. It is the old story of the game of grab; bnt in this game the pawns move to the call of master minds. The "deal becomes the para digui of all public leg-pulling. Prom Forest Grove. Regular Correspondent. The liquor ordinance is stringent. No sign, insignia or beer keg to mark its lo cation and all busineis to be transacted in one room, and no twin amusement to liquor drinking allowed. The council might have gone farther and had all blinds removed from the windows, so the public might see the nature of the work done inside.

Hillsboro, Feb. 22. 1005. Old Polka' Concert. The Old Folks' Concert, given at the opera house Wednesday evening for the benefit of the Congregational church, was well attended and a credit to the ladies who had devoted considerable time and a goo I deal of hard work to make it a complete success. The cos tumes worn by the ladies and gentlemen were of the fashion of Washington's time, the mode of dressing the hair of the sarnedato, and flowers in plenty wert worn as Martha and the ladies of hei day wore them more than a century ago. Many of the costumes donned by "ye women folkes" were certainly made many years ago and dug up from the bottom of chests and trunks for use on this occasion, and we doubt if a like number of more beautiful women and gentleinenly men ever graced a platform in the days of the Father of His Coun try. The songs were of the old kind and selected for that very reason, as it was the intention of the committee to have everything conform to the early days Crayon portraits of George and Martha draped with the American flag, had con apicuous places on the stage, which was also draped with bunting and numerous flags and banners and presented a very pretty appearance. The portrait work. was done by James Butler and was fine piece of work. Mr. Butler also drew the window announcements, without charge, for which the ladies are duly greatful. Mr. Butler is a natural artist and is rapidly pushing to the front in his art, a fuct the public is not slow in finding out. "Martha" and "George" were repre sented by Little Lucy Weathered and Earl House, both carrying their honors easily and making a pretty appearance Following is the program In full: PART OKI. 1. II oyt's orchestra. 2. A Song by ye Male Singer Solo by Fred Vrooman; well rendered and he responded to lin encore. Mr, Vrto man is an excellent singer, and is al ways willing to lend his assistance at en tertainments of this nature, and his aid is appreciated. 3. Songof ye Olde rolke, by alle ye men and women singers "Battle Hymn of the Republic." This chorus was unua ually fine and received with enthusiasm by the large audience. 4. "Grandmother's Chair," solo by Mbs Anna Chalmers and full chorus. Miss Chalmers has a sweet voice, well trained, and she captured the hearts of her hearers through the good old song 5. A Four-Square Moral Song "Annie Iaurie," by the Misses Lura Waggener, Stella Boscow, Anna Chalmers, Minnie Warien, Cal Jack, Claud Cate, W. P. Tucker and Dr. A. B. Bailey. (1.

Miss Johnson has a well cultivated, sweet voice, and she re' ceived loud applause and responded to an encore. 7. An Exhortation by Ye Spinster a recitation by Miss Myrtle Butler, "Is Man Superior to Woman ?" Taking Mits Butler in her make-up and the manner in which she handled her sub ect, man is of mighty little consequence though she would have accepted the beast" in a twinkle if the young man in the story could have mustered up enough courage to "jop." Miss Butler is the life of any entertainment and can handle any part she undertakes with credit to herself and any amount of amusement to the audience. So de lighted were the people present that she was repeatedly called (or until she re turned and recited a little piece about the inquisitive boy, the bald-headed man and the flics, while the audience fairly roared. 8. A Worldley Song by Ye Young Maiden. This was sung by Miss Alice Wehrung, and so well received that she had to return and sing the last verse again. 9. Ye Old Song of Ye Olde Folkes Wait (or the V agon," by the entire chorus. PART SKOOND. 1. Song of Ye Olde Folkes and by alle e Men and Women Singers "Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel," full chorus. 2. Song by Ye Young Woman "Ben Bolt," by Mrs. A. B. Bailey. An old, old song, but always received with pleas use, and sung as it was by Mrs. Bailey was a decided treat. She baa a strong, clear voice and every word was plainly understood in all parts of the house. 3. Song by Ye Maidens and alle Ye Singers "Old Oaken Bucket," full cho rus. This song was written Dy a arunx en printer years and years ago, and the words were suggested to bun while tak ing a drink from a wayside well, with the old fashioned sweep and moss-covered bucket, and it will stand as a mon ument longer than any sbaftof granite. 4. "Yankee Doodle," song by Cal. ack with full chorus and snare drum ac companiment. Of course everybody has heard "Yankee Doodle," but does every body know that it was written long be fore the revolutionary war, since which time It has been sung and whistled by every patriotic man anil boy. When Mr. Jack and his company of "old folks" lined up and Mrs. Bailey, at the piano, struck up the dear old familiar tune, the audience let loose and for fully two min utes Mr. Jack was compelled to bow ac knowledgements with a good natured smile, when the song was sung with a will. 5. Solo and all Ye Singers, "Cousin Jedediah," solo by Miss Stella Boscow w ith full chorus. This was among the best songs of the evening, and Mine Bos cow receiver I many compliments from the audience for the excellence of her song and'was loudly applauded. 8. A Young Woman Speaks a Piece 'Backward, Turn Backward," by Miss Minnie lleidel, who recited the old, yet ever new piece in a splendid manner. Her voice and gestures would put many an old-stager to bluili. In fact, there are few that can equal Miss lleidel as an emotional elocutionist. The concert dosed with "Auld Lang Syne" by the full chorus, and barring a a little misunderstanding in reward to instrumental music, everything paste. aS nicely. But one rehearsal was had in the hall, yet the stage setting was good, and ths ladies have every reason to feel proud of their "Olde Folkes Concert." The total receipts were f (18.25, and af ter paying all expuuses, the ladies have i7.(Kl to turn over to the church so ciety. Sherwoe Kegular Correspondent.

Last Friday night the county road north of Five Oak was the scene of a bloody drama, the sight of which was so incredibly gruesome that the awe struck spectators began to Imagine that they were experiencing a hideous night mare. Two huge blacks were engaged in a battle to the death and their fury was so consuming and overwhelming, that reverting to atavisiin and despis ing the weapons of civilised man they fought with their teeth. The younger and more active of the two combatants after a terrific struggle finally overcame his antagonist and after haying in Acted mortal wounds upon him he departed with a savage snort of triumph, defying and eluding all pursuers. The defeated gladiator died toward morning. The following day he was seen lying dead in the road, a fellow of herculean size and strength, easily weighing 200 pounds and over, his face turned to the sky, as though calling for vengeance; the rains bathing his swarthy form, but he heeded not. A stranger, without friends or kin to mourn over him he lay a pathethic and yet imposing spectacle, in solitary grandeur alone in his glory.

Ever at work elimating pitfalls and remov ing pitfalls from their path, Dave Weng- er is the idol of the traveler, weary and heavy laden, an ideal road boss. A Trifle Sarcastic. From afar there has been wafted to the capital a rumor that Edward Wright Haines, senator from the County of Washington, dealer in the coin of the realm In the bank of Forest Grove; grinde.' of grains and giver of electric light unto municipalities divers, hath listened to a still, small voice whose whispering tones are like unto the buz zing of a bee, said buzzing being in fact nd effect that the said Edward Wright Haines looks forward to the time when he may issue forth into the political arena as a candidate for the place from which holdeth forth George Earle Chamberlain. True, it ia, so they say, that the said Edward Wright Haines is wont to look long and yearningly at the great wooden door that leads into the office of His Excellency a little to the west of the Hall of the Third House, and enter tain hidden hopes that the time may come when he may hold forth therein in propria persona. Now be it said in company herewith that there be some as are want to think mayhap Edward Wright Haines would do as well at "Our George" has done, but there lingers a recollection in the recollection cells of others the fact that when the inmates of the Senate House were voting whether or no senators in the congress should be elected vox pop uli, instead ol by the lawgivers, Edward Wright Haines stood himself up and not only spake forninst it, but cast a vote vs. the proposition in the bargain- They who feel for the political future o( Cdward Wright Haines are want to cogitate that be hath therein made a bobble out of it all, and they would that be had not comported himself after the manner and form of record. Even ing Telegram. The Governor Wields His Club. Governor Chantberlain has vetoed tiTe following bills this week : Kuykendall's bill for state board of control. Tuttle's bill for a launch for master fish wardens. Pierce's bill for state convention of county superintendents. Yon der Hellen's bill for clerk and deputy for fish warden.

M linker's bill giving sheriffs mileage in Linn, Marion and Douglas counties. Malarkey's bill for deputy constables in Portland. One of the bills to meet with the dis approval of the governor was that pro viding for an appropriation of (70,000 for locating and establishing a new deaf mute school nearer to the city; another, for the establishment of the Rogue riv ei road district, authorizing the counties of Josephine and Curry to incorporate into said district for the purpose of con structing a wagon road, with power to levy and collect taxes for building road, and to issue bonds to a limit of $50,000; a third veto was the bill providing for voting on the question of sheep and goats running at large, held to be un constitutional because it was enacted without title; and fourth, a bill regulat ing the sale of fertilizers. The mute school bill w as killed prin cipally because the sum appropriated was not sufficient to carry out the pro visions of the act and because of other large amounts appropriated by the legis lature.
