ALTERATION MADE IN SENATE
BY COMMITTEE.

ington was sure of the meet. If Kin
der had woo the 220 and broad jump
the relay would have deoided flret
place, bnt even after losing these
events , Whitman seemed assured of
seoond honors. Here W. S. C. sprang
the surprise of the meet by capturing
the relay in one of the most beautiful
events of its kind ever staged there,
also breaking the coast reoord with
the fast time of 8:25.
Cattle, Sheep and Hogs May
Be Left As They Are-Cost
of Living Not Reduced,
Meats and four will not go on the
free list in the democratic tariff law
if the recommendation of the senate
finance committee in charge cf the
agricultural 'schedule is aooepted.
Ibis impoitant alteration of the Un
derwood till as it passed the house
was determined upon by the sub
committee composed of Senators Wil
liams, Shively and Gore. It was de
oided in earning out the determina
tion to perfeot the Underwood bill
by equalizing raw material and its
prod not s, that it would be wiser to
levy nominal duties on meats and
flour products than to, put livestook
and grain on the free net. - '
la accordance with this deoision
the sub-committee took from the free
list in the house bill fresh meats
beef, mutton and pork and made
them dutiable at ten per cent ad val
orem.
- Wheat flour was restored to the du
tiable list at the speoiflo rate of forty
five cents a barrel with other wheat
produots at 10 per cent ad valorem,
and the Underwood doty on oats was
reduoed from 10 cents?por bushel to
six oents per bushel with a opmpensa
toty duty on oatmeal said to be ap
proximately: five per cent ad valorem.
This rate on oatmeal was hot definite
ly determined, but it is -assured that
the recommendation will take oatmeal
from the free list. Cattle," sheep and
hogs will be lett as they are in the
proposed bill, dutiable at 10 per cent
nd valorem and the Underwood doty
of 10 cents a bushel on wheat will
stand.
Fish on Reservation.
Thnneh there ia an old federal law
prohibiting any but Indians from fish
ing on the Umatilla reservation, tnis
law will not be enforoed providing the
white anglers oonduot themselves in
an orderly manner, says the East
Oregooian. This is the sobstanoe ot
a statement made by Agent E. L.
Swartzlander to the looal .game
officers: . In the recognition of the
fact that the looal game association
has been very instrumental in stooking
the river with finh Major Swartzland
er intervened to prevent a strict en
forcement of the old law tut it will
he enforoed aeainst those rowdy fish
ermen who show no respeot for the
Indian or for bis property. - ,
Drowned in Chelan River. '
From Chelan, Wash. comes the ac
count of the drowning of Emesley
Ridecour, 20 year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Ridenour of that plaoe,
and a nephew of Mrs. F. B. Boyd of
this city. The tragedy ooourred Tues
day night, May 27th and the body
was found a week after the diown
ing, by cruising the river in a glass
bottomed boat. The body was lying
in 12 feet of water, and the jawbone
bad been broken, showing that he bad
been struok when the boat went over.
Ihe young man, in company with
a friend, volunteered to go to
the relief of a stranded motor boat in
the Chelan river. They endeavored
to reaob the vessel 1j a rowboat,
which capsized in tbe turbulent waters.
Young Tuttle saved himself but bis
companion, though an expert swim
mer, for some reason sank immediate
ly after the boat upset. Tbe young
man recently took tbe civil engineer
ing coarse ia tbe University of Wash
ington, spent last summer in Alaska
with a surveying orew and at the time
of bis untimely death was assistant
cashier of tbe Miners and & Merobants

STAGE ILLUSIONS.
Not the Least of These Are the Ban
quets on tho Boards.
Notulnir is so deceptive as the stage
meal, although the ait ot the property
man makes such repasts nppear de
Hclously appetizing.
A favorite stave substitute for meat
is soonco enke. which cut into the
shape of cutlets or steaks and judi
ciously browned with sauce, presents
a most genuine appearance. The ad
vantage of such mnterlnl is tlint It Is
easy for the actors to consume and
does not present any difficulties to the
carver.
Cutlets com nosed of soft toast are
also popular In stage culinary circles,
nnd when decorated with dainty paper
frills and parsley look quite the real
thing.
Do not let .vour mouth water at the
slant of those dainty slices of ham re
posing on lettuce leaves on tho baron's
festive board. ; Ham Is invariably rep
resented on the stage by. strips of lino
leum, the reddish under side of which
makes a convincing substitute for the
real article. As to the surrounding let
tuce? that 1m generally represented by
while leaves from the humble eon-
bnge. : . ' '
The lurcer and more Impressive the
stage edible, the greater tbe fake. Hugo
nles which when cut produce a cloua
of realistic steam are absolutely uneat
able. The crust Is merely colored pa
pier pinche, which Incloses n dl.sii or
hot water and sometimes n few boiled
Dotatoes. which supply tho necessary
steam. The big sirloin of beef, which
apparently "weighs pounds, has ohout
six ounces of eatable meat about It.
The Joint is n wooden affair, over
which a few thin slices of genuine beef
ore placed, giving the Impression of n
really fine piece of meat.
Were vou to obtain a peep behind tne
scenes Just before a banquet scene was
rn be staced vou would find n Dimmer
of stage hands busily slicing up toma
toes and bananas, lou would see tliose
slices being laid out on plates sur
rounded with parsley or white cabbage
leaves. Under the glare of the lime
light this dish assumes an astonishing
resemblance to lobster salad, and in
similar fashion sliced banana Is a gen
eral substitute for fish, entrees and
hors d'oeuvre.
One of the most astonishing illusions
with regard to stage food, however, is
where soup is concerned, IMS is in
variably sawdust, which when ladled
out of n tureen has nil the appearance
of a thick liquid.
No banquet would be complete with
out a turkey. A loaf of bread delicately
browned ond decorated with pegs cov
ered with browned dough, sares tbe
management the expense of running up
a poultry bill. Moreover, the come
dians can with comparative safety
sling this asset to the feast about tbe
stage without damage to life or prop-erry.-PhiladelpblnXedger.

The Government Printer.
When it comes to printing your Un
cle Samuel takes first rank among tho
nnHona. He has a $15,000,000 printing
office that is the best equipped in the
world. Although certain private pub
lishing houses In this country exceed
the 1,000,000 copies of printed matter
seut out weekly from the United
States government printing office, no
plant approaches the multitude of dif
ferent publications that it prints and
malls. Over n thousand publications
are issued from the presses In the
course of a year, appearing dally,
weekly, monthly, annually or at irreg
ular Intervals, For the purpose of
mailing them more than a thousand
different mailing lists must be kept in
the file room. New York Sun.
Julia Walker Must Answer
to a Horse Stealing Charge
Preferred Recently.
Julia Walker, more commonly known
as JKed wings," a small crown-eyed
girl of 19, is in the county jail after a
desperate pursuit by officers through
a wild stretob of coca try between
Heppoer and the town of Dale on tbe
north fork of the John Day river.
Ihe "girl buokaroo" is a daughter
of tbe late William Walker, pioneer
resident of Umatilla county and is
one of the heirs of her father's estate.
The crime with which she is obarged
is horse-stealing, having purloined
two horses and made a getaway with
a male companion, Bill Jordan, her
brother-in-law, who is also held on a
similar uharge. Jordan was captured
several days ago but the girl had a
better borsa and was successful in
esoapiog Horn her pursuers, one
sought refuge at the old home ranch
near Dale, where she wes apprehended
by a deputy sheriff.
To a reporter "Bed Wings" related
her first experience with handling
horses. When but 10 years of age she
started breakiug bad horses and bas
ridden the range with cowboys at in
tervals ever eiuoe.
"Bed Wing's" mother is a quarter
blood Umatilla Indian, but never as
sooiated with her people, not even
claiming an allotment on the reserva
tion. There are seven girls and ooe
boy ia the Walker family, "Bed
Wings" being the fifth child. A
shook of short dark hiir, skiu of tan
and eager black eyes bear wituess to
her Indian tlood. She for three years
attended tbe Chemawa school at Sa
lem, tbe rest of her eighth grade edu
cation being received at district
schools.
STORY OF A FAMOUS SONG.
D smal. Rainy Day Moved Dan Em.
ivsot to Writs "Dixit."
,; i- V iv! written by !an Emmet,
'hi. it ',v. .tN anil Miusif. ti was sung
fin ilu tiist tiuie Moudity. Sept. 10,
lSTi!). on the stage of Mrynut's minstrels
lit 47-' Itruadwny, New York. There
bas been much controversy over tbe
question of authorship and over tbe
music. The known history of tbe song
has lieen carefully compiled by Gus
tar IvobU- lu bis "Famous American
Songs." as follows:
"On Saturday night, Sept.' 17, 1859,
after the performance one of the Bry
ants told Emmet that a new walk
around was wanted In Jlme for re
hearsal on Monday. The minstrel re
plied that, while the time was very
short, he would do his best. That
night after be reached borne he tried
to hit upon some tune, but the music
wouldn't come. Ills wifo cheerily told
him to wait until morning. lie should
have the room to himself so that he
could work nudlsturbed, oud when he
had finished the walk around he could
play It for her as a sole audience. If
she liked It the Bryants would nnd so
would the average listener.
"Next day was rainy and dismal.
Some years before Emmet had traveled
with a circus as n drummer. In winter
the warm southern circuit was n popu
lar route with circus people, nnd those
who were obliged to show north would
say when the cold weather would make
them shiver, 'I wish 1 was In Dixie.'
The phrase was, In fact, a. current cir
cus expression. On that dismal Sep
tember day, probably the beginning of
the equinoctial, when Emmet stepped
to the window and looked out tho old
longing for the pleasant south camo
over him, and involuntarily her thought
to himself, '1 wish 1 was in Dixie
"Like a flash the thought suggested
the first line for a walk around, nnd a
little later the minstrel, fiddle In hand,
was working out the melody which,
coupled with tho words, made 'Dlxlo' a
genuine song of tho people almost from
the instant It wus first sung."

the attorney for the O.-W. B. & N.
oompany has been looking into tbe
matter of the dry preoinots in Uma
