GUARANTEED 8 AriSFACIOBY SHE FAILS TO RETURN Parents Much Grieved Peart Anderson, 16 Years of Ase, Runs Awav From Home With a Man Twice Her Ase The Officers Are Notified. On Sunday night last County Clerk E. J. Godman was called to the 'phone by a Portland man and requested not to issue a mar riage license to a girl of 16 and a man much older, who would prob ably give the state of Washing ton as his home, The girl, whose name is Pearl Anderson, left the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. K. A. Anderson, of 487 1-2 Davis street, Portland, last week Friday afternoon about 2 o'clock, with instructions to get some fish at a nearby market. Shortly after the fish arrived, but Miss Anderson has not been seen or heard of since. She described as a tall blond, blue- eyed, wears glasses and when last seen was dressed in black skirt, a brown feather hat and long red coat It is safe to say that no license will be issued here, and should she show up at the court house, her parents will be notified at once. The daily papers of Sunday ... T"a 1 gave the girls name as i eari Smith, but this is a mistake, as Mr. Godman was told over the 'Dhone that her name was An derson, not Smith. Teachers' Examinations.

Working in connection with sev eral commercial bodies over the state, and aided by individual fruit growers, the Portland Com mercial Club has issued a fruit bulletin composed of four pages of the New Year's Oregonian. Each paper sent out bears a par agraph, conspicuously stamped in two pla, telling the reader that he can buy his ticket on the road most convenient to him at a remarkably low colonist rate between March 1st and April 30th. The $30 rate from the oTPftt Middle West is made the striking feature of the stamp-of nrsp mpntion is also made of rates from other sections. The bulletins are prepared in advance for the use of the agents em ployed by the various railroad, localizing the rate for their par ticular line. The Mid -Winter Livestock Show at Denver just closed was a tremendous success, and many of the exhibitors expressed a de termination to be present at the Livestock Show in Portland this coming fall. The Portland Coun trv Club & Livestock Association Viavfl nromised the Hunt Club that accommodations will be ready for them in June, and an army of men and horses are at work at the present time to make this pledge good. The Pacific Coast Ad Men's Association will hold their next annual convention in Portland during the Rose Festival. The Oregon Development League is exceedingly prosper ous. The mst two weeks have added three members to the" or ganization-The Stayton .Com mercial Club, W. L. Freres, pres ident R. A.

Newberg will have a house-warming, under the au spices of the Newberg Board of Trade, on February 1st, celebrat ing the opening of their fine new Imperial hotel. The executive committee of the Portland Commercial Club are appealing for additional funds to advertise the resources of Ore gon, and at no time during the active work of that committee have responses been so generous. New subscriptions are coming in, former contributors are either doubling or materially increasing their subscriptions, and every cent of it is devoted to advertis ing the state and not the city. Complete plans have been de cided upon for the Oregon build ing at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, and up to date it is the most attractive state build ing yet shown in America upon the grounds of a great fair. James Eades Howe, philan thropist and friend of the unem ployed, is planning a convention in St. Louis next month to be at tended by the unemployed in the hast and Southwest, to consider means for relieving the present situation, which, he says, paral lels the conditions of 1894. He declares that in St Louis alone there are between 45.000 and 50, 000 out of work. 'Our man Rei termann, who w as beaten in Chi cago with blacksnake whips, will be here to address the conven tion," he said.

Inquire of C. Rhoades. Hillsboro, Ninth and JIM HOOVER SUICIDES ; Takes a Dose of Poison Had Been Drinking lor Tour Days and on Coin Home Decided to' en "AIL James A. Hoover, who came to Oregon in 1SS4, and has lived near Hillsboro since that time, committed suicide last Sunday morning at about 8 o'clock, at his home, 3-4 miles west of Bea verton, on the old A. H. John son place. Coroner Brown was summoned Sunday morning by Dr. Robinson of Beaverton, and went to Beaverton on the 1:43 train. He found Hoover dead and at once ordered an inquest, with the following jury: David W. Gay, L Claassen, A. A. Pike, L. Tullock, P. Carlson and J. E. Summers. The following evi dence was given by Mrs. Hoover, wife of the deceased: She said she was the wife of the deceased, had been married for twenty-five years, and ha3 three children; deceased had been well and in good health of late and had never talked of suicide or wanting to die. Last Monday he left home and went to the school house and saw his daugh ter, Emily Hoover, who is 11 years old, and told her he was going to Hillsboro and would not be home that night Mrs. Hoov er did not hear of her husband, except from a neighbor, John Rice, her nephew, who telephon ed to Hillsboro t) Mr. Jack to (enow if ho was - tvre and when he would be home, and was told that he was here but it was un certain as to when he Would go home. This was on Thursday, and she heard no more of him till he came home Sunday morn ing at about 8:30. Hoover came . . ... i i in at the kitcnen ana sucmiix his head in at the door called for a drink of water, which was giv en him. As he was looking quite badly, his wife asked him what was the matter, ami ne sam, i i Come nere and look on the bur- eau. Un examination sne ui covered a small box labeled strychnine" and "poison." She asked him if he had taken any and he said he had. She then wanted to know why he had done so, and he replied that he had been gone four days and he ought not to have done so. He called for his gun and asked for more water, but at no time did he say that he regretted the rash act Mrs. Hoover declared that she knew of no reason why he should take his own life. Dr. F. M. Robinson, who was summoned by Mrs. Hoover, ar rived at the Hoover home at 9:25 n. m.. and found him in convul sions, which he judged was caus ed by strychnine poisoning, and learned from Mrs. Hoover that he had taken the dose about an hour previous.

It is not often a theatrical com pany, visiting this city, will as an evidence of good faith, give a public guarantee, as to the excel lence of the attraction. But Thos. J. Culligan, the manager of Culligan's Nashville Students, who play at the Crescent thea tre, February Cth, gives the fol lowing guaranteed pledge: "We hereby authorize any local mana ger in every town that we play to guarantee it to be first-class in every particular. The word 'guarantee' is much over-worked. Everybody can use it, and almost everybody does. It's a pity to see it misused so often. Guaran tee is a good word when it means something. We use it because we have made it mean some thing. Cut this out and take to the theatre, and if after the first act you are dissatisfied with the entertainment given, your money will be refunded. We personal ly guarantee the excellence of this attraction." Thos. J. Culligan, Manager. Prices-10c, 20c and 30c.

Assoc'n Pulls Out No More Home seekers' excursions After February 18, Says the Central Pacific Association. A Chicago dispatch says that the Central Passenger Associa tion roads in that city have noti fied their western and southwest ern connections that they will not join them in arrangements for the homeseekers' excursion for 1908. The last excursion of the kind with which they will have any thing to do will be that of Feb ruary 18, after which the Cen tral roads will go out of the home seeker business in all the terri tory east of Evansville and the Terre Haute line, of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road. The reason assigned is a com plicated spstem of rates which the western and southwestern roads have submitted as basing rates. The Oregon City Enterprise of fers this gentle insinuation: Whv is The Oregonian so bit ter against the appointment of Chris Schuebel? Is his known honesty likely to stand in the way of the acquittal of some land-grabbing friend in or around The Oregonian office? Well, now! Have you heard of any one in or about The Ore gonian office who has ever had anything to do with land-grabbing? A r. j body or about The Oregonian office who has even made a filing on any tract of land, under any one of the land acts? But haven't you, and ev ery one of you, continually de nounced The Oregonian for its exposures of Mitchell, Herman. Williamson, Brownell, et id omne genus, and declared that its course was simply one of male volence toward the honored men of Oregon? Go to and here supply the missing words.

JOHN DENNIS The old KcliaUc Comer Grocery and Slioo Store Allempt to Rob Mrs. Hmthorne. Mrs. Rachel Hawthorne, of Portland, and a large piporty owner in this county, was picked out for a victim in a bold hold-up game', last Saturday afternoon, and but for the clever work of Detective Maher of the district attorney's office in Portland, the scheme would have succeeded. As a result of Maher's work Her man Hafner, a Swiss, aged 20. and Leo Honsig, an Australian, aged 28, are in jaii, ana i tamer has made a complete confession. Out of work, the two men schem ed to frighten the elderly lady into giving them the money through the agency of the Unit ed States mail. Two letters were written to her informing her that unless she immediately made ar rangements to pay them $500 in gold coin her life would be en dangered. The first letter fell into the hands of her attorney before Mrs. Hawthorne saw it. but the second was delivered to the intended victim. The case was laid before the district at torney, who detailed Maher on the matter. Maher arranged with Mrs. Hawthorne to refrain from answering the letter until the extortionists, angered at the delay, should attempt to com municate with her over the tele phone, which he believed they would do. At the same time ho made arrangements with the tel ephone company to instantly in form him of the street number of anyone telephoning any threat ening messages to Mrs. Haw thorne. Outside of the telephone office he placed a high power au tomobile. At 4 o'clock Saturday the telephone operator notified Maher that Mrs. Hawthorne was in communication with Hafner, who was telephoning from the Arion dance hall. Dashing away Maher captured the man before he had left the telephone. Ho immediately confessed and plead ed a desperate need of money as an excuse Auction Sale.
