Sunday night at tho state industrial
school for girls, there was an attempt
at wholesalo poisoning that canio near
being successful. The attempt was
mado tho tea and eoffeo so bitter that
and coffee served both tho officers and
inmates of tho institution. Tho fact
that so much poison ws used that it
made th c tea and coffee so bitter that
it could bo swallowed alone prevented
tho poisoning of perhaps all connected
with the institution, except tho parties
administering it.
Airs. Jlffie Cresswell, aged 21, who
wis sent to tho institution from Ma
rion county a week ago, had concealed
in her clothing a bottle of strychnine,
in such a manner that it was not dis
covered when she was recoived at tho
institution. Sho induced three younger
girls, aged from 15 to 10 years, and
who were employed in tho kitchen, to
put tho strychnine in tho tea and cof

meeting arranged by the management
of tho anti-saloon campaign was called

lent that there was strong sentiment
among those present in favor of banish

tions joined iu tho armory mooting.
Tho principal address of tho cvouing

Prove Very interesting to
Everyone
SOME EARLY DAY TALKS
Speakers Tell of Methods Used In
Getting News to Public When State
Was Younger.
Halem Typographical Union was 25
years old Saturday, Octobor 25, and it
celebrated tho event Sunday evening
with a banquot at tho Oregouian grill,
which was tastefully decorated for tho
occasion. Tho union's chartor, heavily
framed, hung on the wall back of the
toastmater, J. S. Wyant, and bonodth
it a largo colored photograph of tho
Printers' Homo at ColoHado Springs, tho
especial prido of overy printer from
Kennebec to San Diego, and ono of
which they may justly tool proud.
Promptly at 0 o'clock Toiistuinstor
Wyant called for the lnoinbors and
guests to bo sentod and from that tlmo
until !):l!0 there wns a "feast of reason
and a flow of soul," there being some

peculiarly fitting, uitcr which Mi,
Strickland, who for many years worked
at tho bookbinding trade, but who is
now managing the Oregoninn restaur
ant, where tho banquet, was held, was
invited in and mado a brief but splen
did talk on unionism, and typographical
unionism iu particular. In the mean
while t, number of doft fingered waiters
served the first course of ono of tho
best, and best-served banquets ever giv
en in Halem. At each plate, pinned to
the menu card, was a favor iu tho shape
of a big pink carnation with a bit of
delicate greenery behind it ami in a mo
ment thoso wero transferred to the coat
lapels and then the real business of the
evening began, nnd there wns not an
idle moment from fish to cigars.
When Steamer Arrived.
There wero so many called on to
speak mid so many bright and good
things said, that neither memory nor
sjmce will permit us oven to mention
them nil.
Juilgo Morelund, clerk of tho supremo
court, who for many years "jerked an
timony" on tho pioneer pors of this
state, related his experiences in thoso
early days, and was listened to with in
tenso interest. He told of the days
when Portland got its news by steamer
from Han Francisco every two weeks.
Ono paper he was working on published
"when the steamer arrived," and when
tho gun announcing Its arrival was
heard, all Portland hurried down to the
wharf to welcome her, and this regnril
les of the time, day or night, that the
gun wns hoard. Then the printers hik
ed to tho offieo and worked steadily
until the news clipped or re written
from the Han Prnnciseo papers was till
in type, this taking generally from 21
to .'III hours, I'ortlaiul ill that time was
a metropolis of iilinont 'JOOO people, and
Halem had somewhere between 2I0 nnd
.11 ut. The judge was in a reminiscent
niiuM and priMieiited a picture that
showed Nivi'fy the haiulieap the news
gathers worked under iu those "good
old davs. ' '

dent Lincoln, and of the icinni liable
feat of the tregoiiian iu the way of

president's ineisage which was deliver
ed March 5, on tho UMli, only two
weeks after It was published 111 the
enst, This was made possible by the
wonderful " I'ony Kxprops." fie also
told of the Inner lite of tho printer,
which showed that however much tlicj
may hnve advanced in the typesetting
lln, they were the same happy-go-lucky
lot of big heiirted spendthrifts that they
aro today. When one had money they
all ate, and some one always seemed to
have " tho price." The applause fol
lowing his remarks was practically an
encore, for It refused to stop.
