BRUNSWICK. Me., June 26. Bowdo'n
College reached1 its 100th anniversary to
day and the occasion was celebrated by
a distinguished gathering of alumni anl
friends from many parts of tha country.

Cole, of the class of 1874. President Wil
liam De Witt Hyde presided, and John

Kruse's Domestic Trouble.
It was with considerable surprise ye
terday that the friends of Theo. Kru,
the grill room proprietor, heard that he
had obtained a divorce front his wife,
Dome, last May, at St. Helens. The wife
is M Germany, and It Is doubtful'whether
she even knows that a dlVoree suit has
been decided against her.
Mr. Kruse has nothing to say about
the case, and referred a Journal reporter
to his attorney. The latter is Just about
as Uncommunicative as his client. Mr.
Scvhnabel, however, Stated that his; client
was perfectly willing to reepen the case
at any time, should Mr Kruse dejrtre it.
The comolaint against her Is that she
uses Intoxicants to excess and Is guilty
of other indiscretions..
D. J. Kruse, father of the restauran-
teur, is on his way to Portland from
Oldenburg, Germany, in charge of Rich
ard Kruse, the 9-year-old son of the
parties to the divorce.

Governor Geer Favors
Special Session Per-
sonally.
The enactment of a law which will
place all state officers oh flat salaries
and reautre all fees to be paid into the
state treasury. .
The enactment of a law which shall
provide the details of procedure by which
the initiative and referendum privilege
shall bo exercised.
The appropriation of a sum of money
In aid of the Lewis and Clark Exposition
to be held at Portland in im
These are the matters which are to be
legislated upon at the special session of
the Oregon Legislature which It Is now
conceded is almost a certainty for next
winter. Governor Geer has not as yet
made any definite 'statement aa to wheth
er he will issue the call, bat the fact that
a very general sentiment seems to pre
vail that flat salaries should be the order
for the next state government. It Is be
lieved that the special session will be
called.
In case it Is so decided the session
would probably cost about 128,000. The
time of holding such a session is limited
by law to 20 days, which, in the opinion
of the supporters of the scheme would
be ample to settle the matter.
Petitions are now being very generally
circulated over- the stateV asking tha
Governor to Issue a call before the meet
ing of the next Legislature.
Dealers Holding Out
for 20 Cents a
Pound.
F. J. Millet, a prominent hop grower of
North Yamhill, is in the city. Mr. Miller
says that "the hop. crop on the West
Sld of the rlvers In his part of the state
Is looking very fine, very few of the hills
showing any missing plants.
According to Mr. Miller, If the weather
continues as at present through the
month of July, Oregon will have a large
crop this season, but If a warm spell
should appear, the crop would be ruined,
Mr. Miller estimates that there are
still about 4500 balea of last season's pro
duct In the hands of the dealers, most
of the growers having disposed of their
crop. The dealers are holding out for 20
cents a pound.
Mr. Miller will be in the city for a few
days-yet as he Is about to award a
contract for the erection of a new resi
dence in this city.-

Frank R. Stockton's famous story, "The
Lady or the Tiger?" set everybody guess
Ing.. irwas, topic of conversation when
Mr. Stockton met Rudyard Kipling; at a
reception and informed the latter that
he contemplated going to India
"I'm glad to hear It I" exclaimed Kip
ling, enthusiastically. "I know Just what
we'll do with you over there when we
get you away front your friends and
family. Well lure yon out Into the
jungle and have you seized and bound
by our tmety wallah. We'll have you
turned on your back and get oil of our
biggest elephant to stand over you with
his forefoot poised above your head.
Then I'll say in my most insinuating
way: 'Come now, Stockton, which was
it the lady or tha tiger 7'
It waa told that an enterprising maga
Sine manager offered him HO.000 If he
would reveal the true end of the famous
tale, but Stockton was true to his story
and declined the- offer.
When the Stockton family lived in
Bucks Courity, Pennsylvania, Frank and
his brother had a dog which they trained
solely to hunt cats- Tha brothers were1
overhauled one day by a farmer whose
eat they were chasing. To placate the
farmer they gave him a dollar for a pig,
which they took home. By driving away
their father's pig at feeding time they
soon made their own the fattest pig in
the pen and sold him at a profit of $7.
Mr. Stockton always considered the deal
a tribute to his business acumen.

Some of dock's Troubles.
J. O. Horning, secretary of the Mesta
Machinery Company of Pittsburg, Pa.,
and a brother-in-law to James A. Cloak,
general agent of the Wisconsin Central
is enjoying himself here as the guest of
the snirituelle "Jim."
Mr. Horning takes great comfort in
camera and has succeeded in . making
some very good pictures, He has Clock
trained so well now that he can take his
picture without Clock's winking wbert the
business goes off.' It takes real courago
to stand up and be "shot" at.
There Is one picture of Clock . that
should be hung up in cigar stores to
draw trade. It was taken by Mr. Horn
Ing. It represents the Jolly railroad mart
seated with a long pipe In hla mouth
and his little boy's Derby hat on. This
fits his head about as proportionately as
ft ttfni fmn nrmiM ftf a humnlrln
. r - - - .
One really curious picture ought to
draw a prize aa a bit of freak photog
raphy. It breseftt two views 6f ' Mr.
Clock standing at the counter In his of
fice. It la Quite surprising to see two
figures of Mr. ' Clock, oft on either "side
of the . same counter at the same time.
When Clock first saw the photo, he went
out and put tracked loe on his head to
keep from fainting away. It's the first
time that he ever knew that there were
two of him.
Strategic Railways
Russia has recently spent about 100,000,-000-
rubles In tha construction of. strategie
railways, designed to facilitate the trans
portation of troops In the direction of the
German and Austrian borders.
There are three such lines already un
aer construction. The most Important of
these Is the line from Bologoe, half way
between St. Petersburg and Moscow (on
the St. Petersburg-Moscow road) to the
southwest into Poland, following the
route Bologoe, Ostashyov, Welikl, Luki,
Poltsk, Velelka, Llda, Wolkovlsk, Sel
dtce. This line lead directly from the Inte
rior to the wedge Of Poland projecting
Into Germany and between Germany and
Austria, an area ot the greatest Import-s
a nee strategically. Th ;termihds la In
the center of the area, and is projected
on the north (against Bast Prussia by
tha fortified Narew line, and against the
west and south (Silesia and tifallcla) by
the fortified towns .of Warettw, Iva6
rod and Brest-Litowski.
It Is evidently ofgreaf value as a line
of advantS flto the atrateglo development
Of tb .ai-rnyi , The, country present no
dlfflouitles to construction, and it Is ex
pected that the line will be in operation
In 19M. It will also serve as a connecting
line for the transportation of troops for
the lines crossing It namely, the Smo-lensk-Dunaburg
line, the Minsk-Wllfia
tin and the Rovno-Vtllna line.,

"Well," she suggested, .""let them de
duct what they say . I owe them. Then
they won't be out anything."
