Residents of the improved sections will be glad, to see the completion of the paving and the macadamized streets. The dust that has hitherto been an inconvenience during the summer months will be for the most part done away with here after. Third street has not yet been touched, having been left awaiting a decision of the property holders in the paving district as to whether or noi llassam or oil bound macadam should be UHed. Tuesday afternoon it was definitely decided to place llassam nit this street in strict accordance with the ordinance calling for the improve ment. LAWYERS PLAYENTIIIE ROLL IN LAW SUIT A unique case, The Edward Thomp son Hook Co. vs. Sam W. Stark, came up for hearing before Judge W. L. iirrinhaw and a jury here Monday af ternoon, when the attorneys furnished the entire testimony as well as the argument. The book company, which was seeking judgment against Attor ney Stark for alleged nonpayment of 8 notes of 25 each given about 10 years ago in payment for law books as well as for interest and attorneys fees for collection. The company, which was represented by Harold A. Wilkin, a young attorney from Portland, claimed that Mr. Stark had only paid the sum of $10.5 on his notes, and asked to present depositions from ('Ul cers of the company showing this. However, the depositions were irregu lar, and it seemed that the defendant , attorney would win the ease on account of technical defects of the plaintilT company's attorney. However, Mr. Wilkins ottered to take the stand and give the same testimony as wan con tained in the useless depositions. This was allowed, and he was sworn and gave his evidence and whs cross exam ined by Mr. Stark. And then vice versa. The jury brought in, a verdict for the plaintiff for the entire amount. Tramp Stabs Krakeman F. W. Kramer, a brakemmi on the eastbound Soo-Spokane passenger train passing through this city Monday night at 10:55, who had t een badly stabbed by a tramp while the train was still in Multnomah county, whh left at the Cottage hospital in this city. The wound was a severe one, the knife in the hands of the tramp having pene trated the young man's lungs near the heart, and he was in a very faint con dition from loss of blood when he reached the city. J. Prauer, a Roumanian, was the name of the man wielding the knife. The train stopped just this siilo of Troutdiilu on accuunt of engine trouble and it was discovered that five or six tramps were ruling the blind baggage and on the pilot of the locomotive. They were ordered oil and all but Prauer complied good naturedly. The wounded brakemau. who is in a serious condition at the Cottage hospital, says he niUHt have brushed against Prauer as he was coming from the baggage cur, where he had gone after some materials for renairinir the locomotive. Ho was struck with the knife without warning. The Roumanian escaped in the woods but was caught Tuesday at Cascade Locks and brought here, where lie was positively identified. As soon as he was taken into the room of the injured man, he pointed his finger at him crying. "There is the man who cut me." Prauer has been taken to Portland, where he will be held and prosecuted. In case of death of the brakeman he will be prosecuted for munier. Captain Dukes Passes Away ('apt. J. II.

A S the royal subject of gossip, ru- f Dior aud plots the little Grand - Duke Alexis of Russia figures as the boy of mystery and ro mance. Principally the mystery re lates to the physical aud mental con dition of the little fellow, who Is now eight years old. If the czarevitch Is a hopeless crip ple with tuberculosis of the hip, which la generally believed, he can never take the throne on the death of his father, the czar. Recently a highly romantic story as to the royal boy was published III over the world and was quickly de nied. According to the repudlat4 re port, the czar sent to Berlin and sum moned Dr. Janes Israel, one of the greatest surgeons In the world, to per form an operation on the boy's hip. Beforo he would come, H was report ed, the famous surgeon demanded a fee of $2.r.,(KK) and a royal dispensa tion for the Jewish race. The dispen sation was to be that of placing the Jews of Kiev and Odessa, who had been long persecuted, on an equal, free and unmolested footing with the Christians. The report stated that the TBS CZAKIVITCH. czar quickly agreed to both the de mands of the physician, and the oper ation was successfully performed. Dr. Israel himself Is credited with denying the romantic story, declaring he did not perform any such opera tion. Previous to the report of the opera tion a rumor gained wide credence that the little czarevitch had been stabbed frightfully by an assassin on board his father's yacht, the Stnudart. This later was denied. Now a new heir presumptive to the throne Is being discussed. High society In Russia Is accustom ing Itself to the Idea of accepting Grand Duke Dmitri Paulovlteu, tweu-ty-slj years old, a nephew of the pres ent czar, ns heir presumptive to tho throne. He has not heretofore been generally mentioned ns possible suc cessor to the crown, and his nuuw conies as n complete surprise to every one except those who by reason of their position either belong to the court circle or have close relations with it No Cripple May B Czar. The physical disability of the little czarevitch Is now recognized as com plete among nil the Intelligent classes of the empire. The dnngers and dis advantages of having a crippled sover eign are understood In nil states, but a crippled autocrat of all the Russliis, wltb its great empires and peculiar problems. Is unthinkable. It Is now known that the czarevitch has tuber culosis of the hip joint ns well as hemophilia, the hereditary disease to which a considerable number of princes have been subject and which Is characterized by excessive bleeding from the slightest wound. The czare vitch Is doomed to lifelong Invalidism. The path to the throne has been cleared for Grand Duke Dmitri by a remarkable sequence of family occur rences. The names of the Grand Duke Michael and Grand Duke Cyril are those which have been most mentioned In connection, with the succession since the news of the young czarevitch's condition began to filter out from the palace to the public. Yet all the time the court circle has recognized that, barring the unforeseen, Grand Duke Dmitri will be otlKlally recognized as heir presumptive. Grand Duke Dmitri Is the ouly son of Grand Duke Paul, the youngest brother of the late lOmperor Alexander 111. Grand Duke Michael, the czarV- only brother, would naturally be heir presumptive now, as be was during the j time preceding ttie birth of the czar j evtteh aud when the czar was having a succession of daughters, were It not . for one of those family occurrences ' meutioued which nre so fortunate for Dmitri. The fact Is that Michael has 1 liefore announced and now repents that he has married under the prescribed forms of the orthodox church Miue. ; Seheremetiefsky, divorced wife of a ; Russian cavalry ollicer. He has two children by her and has formally re- i liouuced his right of succession.
