'"No; X do not think so." replied Mr.

tn th city this morning. Mr. Yates, who
has resided In the vtclWty of Castle Rock
for many years, and is more or leas fa-
.. miliar with the character and reputation
of the notorious Traay and Merrill, seem
ed to exhibit little surprise at the man-
nor la which Tracy Is eluding the officers
i and otherwise conducting himself of late.
"It is the nature of the fellow," said
Mr. Tates, "to terrosfie everybody and
everything about him, and that accounts,
. to a groat extent, for the success he has
had la not being Interrupted in his ex-
- plotts by the settlers of the country
through which be has been traveling and
committing his depredations. Tracy is a
'man of wonderful will power, and Is as
determined as it is possible to Imagine a
person to be. 'Bo does not possess the
first scintilla of fear, and apparently
places but little value upon, his own life,
and certainly we all know by this time
that bo does not value the life of others.
Soma people were Inclined to doubt Tra
cy"s statement that he had murdered his
companion in crime, Merrill, but If every,
body bad known as much as many of
the old. settlers In my vicinity, there
, would have been ao doubt at all of the
v truth of the report Tracy la the kind
of maa that will appear to bo friendly,
and at the least unexpected time he
, would manifest his disposition to do evil
I believe Tracy and Merrill never quar
reled. I am of the opinion that Tracy
. saw that Merrill was a detriment to his
' progress and a hindrance to him in bis
: efforts to escape, and be, watched his

A very.'. interesting meeting was held
night before last at Tacoma. In speak'
ins about it Mr. Duncan told an .mus-
lns; story about Mr, Kldd. The resi
dents of Seattle Insist on calling the fa
mous snow-capped mountain in the north
ern Coast Range Mount Rainier. In Ta
coma they are equally persistent In call
ing it Mount Taooma. The story Is this:
At Seattle Mr. Kiua always made it a
point to mention the grand scenery, and
In doing so he would describe the gran
deur of the lofty mountain, being- sure
o call It Mount Rainier. He knew how
the Tacoma people were on that subject,
and while there he drew a, vivid, picture
of Mount Taooma, emphasising; the name.
and the audience broke out in wild ap
plause.
"Mount Rainier or Mount Tacoma Is
beautiful peak," said Mr. Duncan; "but
we are now In Portland, and you know
there is no mountain on the face of the
earth that can be compared with Mount
Hood."

PYTHON'S CAMPAIGN
Got Loose on the Vessel and
Created a Panic in Midocean.
NEW YORK. July 12.T-JuBt whafe would
happen If one met an asuaad, two erifns,
and a couple; of wombats walking up
Broadway It would be brd to tell, though
a first glance) rather tncUnea,, one to the
belief that there .wbu'ld be' a riot.
Several specimens of the above named
animal goods arrived In this city today
In the hold of the Atlantic transport liner
Menominee, and. according to everybody
who had anything to do with them, there
was a riot of no small dimensions.
Weird stories of a desperate snake hunt
at sea. In which a man battled slngie
handed with a 30-foot python, now de
ceased, and of the terrible encounter of n
horseman with en orang-outang, ..whiu.j
bit him up badly and then spent three
days in the riggliiR, are being whispered
about the hold and the engine room today,
though ;pn deck the officers said they
knew nothing about any such, occurrences.
Whether it was the mere presence of
the asuaad. the pair of eruns. or the
wombats that did It is not known, but at
midnight on Friday last, say the cattle
men, the horsemen, the animal men and
the "greasers," one of tne two .-big
pythons forming part of the Noah's era
collection got out of Its bag and crawled
Into the engine-room, where It tried to
curl its 30 feet of length around a series
of hot cylinders and was almost baked In
consequence.
In charge of the weird bunch of ani
mals and things came Donald Burns,
who was known the ship over as "Burns,
the Monkey Man," and he it was who.
with the aid of the ship's flute played, it
is related, captured the huge reptile and
subdued It single-handed, though the
serpent died the next day. As testimony
to the encounter, to his prowess and Jo
the snake's exceeding great Inches, Mr.
Burns has saved the snake's skin, which
was "skun" from the beast and packed
in salt soon after the its demise.
Beside the asuaad, the eruns, the wom
bats and the pythons were 28 monkeys
and one kangaroo. All of these were kept
In the waist of the hold, with many
horses lined up in the stalls on either
side.
It was as the midnight watch, from 12
to 4, was coming on, that the snake broke
loose, the animal men say.
"I was going' art' to ' tftrn in," said
Charles Edwards, a horseman, "when I
saw one of the reasrjpotalpg tumbling
up tne laaqer out Of the ngine room with
his eyes hangini bur on his rhki '

When they decided on a house Mrs.
Carle .applied at a Swedish employment

plicant was sent to take tbs place. She
was a giantess, "something like twelve
feet in height." Mr. Carle declares, and
so Impressive in appearance that she was
put to work at first sight '.
But her height was positively the only
thing In her favor. She had no idea of
cooking, and in every other way dis
played an amazing ignorance of her
duties.. After a run of Only three days
Mr. Carl summoned up-all his courage
and temporarily abandoned comedy for
posslbl
tragedy. He discharged the
cook,
Two days

When Swearing Was Welcome
Senator Perkins, of California, who is a
"sailor man." as Senator Hanna calls the
worthy tars who go down to the sea In

eerns a storm and a preacher.
The storm was a tremendous one, and
it looked as If the vessel were doomed to
go under. In the midst pf the excite
ment a minister, who was one of the
passengers, asked the captain if he could
have prayers.
"Oh, never mind about the prayers,"
esld the captain. VThe men are swearing
too hard to stop for prayers, and as Ion
as you hear them swearing," added the
captain, "there Is no danger."
The minister .went back to his cabin, A
little while later, when the storm grew
worse, the preacher went un on wir
see what the sailors were doing. Then
he went back to his wife.
Thank God." he said, fervently. "tho
men are still swearing."

to Patrons of tilers Piano House.
...'
We have rqade ft a life study to suit every possible taste,
desire or whim that enters into the selection of a piano.
If we Could not do this we would consider our stock un
satisfactory incomplete and we could advance no claim for .
the consideration of those who are f astidious those who must
have the best at any price. ,
We had the choice of practically the entire line of fine pi
anos manufactured Jn the world when we began business.
We selected the ones that we did because In our best judg
ment they are the finest, the best pianos that are being
manufactured in the world today.
Years of experience with an exact knowledge of every de
tail of the pianos, we went into our selection. "
We carry the three greatest American pianos for our
leaders; the celebrated Chickering, of Boston, an instrument
made by the oldest established piano makers in the United
States: the beautiful Weber, of New York, renowned for Its
pure, rich sympathetic tone and Its marvelous durability, and
the now famous and superb Kimball, of Chicago.
We believe these are the three best pianos manufactured
in the world.,
If there were any better pianos made we would have them.
We are able to please the most discriminating and fastid
ious person in every particular.
We know that we can do this, because we know the pi
anos that we carry; because every day we are doing It; because
it is an impossibility to look at our beautiful assortment of con
cert grands, parlor grands, baby grands, and superb and or
chestral and baby uprights without being charmedwithout
being carried away with enthusiasm.
The Angelus is an In
strument by which anyone
without any previous
knowledge of the piano
can play with all -the ex
pression that an artist
would give, and with an
absolutely human touch.
It is superior to any other
