A DEFECTIVE LINK.
Causes Pile Driver Accident that
Nearly Kills Man.

At 4:30 Wednesday evening as
Peter Outright. foreman at the
little pile driver on the South Com
mercial street viaduct, was standing
in front of the machine, when the
chain by which the pile was being
lowered broke, and he was knocked
off the platform, falling about l3
feet onto q crib of rock which resis
on the crossbeams of the flume.
The pile struck him when it fell,
causing him to lose his balance, and
some of the workmen think, stun
ned HIM. He fell heavily OH the crib
of rocks and was picked up as some
thought dead. He was put on a
stretcher aud carried to Fry's drug
store where DR.. Jeffries dressed his
wounds. The calf of one leg, the
fingers of Que hand, the side of his
head and back were badly bruised.
He became conscious soon after he
was picked up and when taken home
soon revived.
The injured man lives in North
Salem and has family. The acci-
dent was caused by breaking of
chain which had been used to hoist
nearly all the piles driven. The
chain was a strong log chain but by
some extra strain one link gave way.
Everything will be done by Con-
tractor Mccoy to render the injured
man comfortable.

How CAUSED Many will he
curious to know the cause of Hon.
r. P. Earhart's death. The best
authorities say his death was due to
Brights disease, with dropsical CONF
plications, For the past two years
Mr.. Earhart has been failing in
health, but for twelve months the
disease has been making rapid and
steady inroads on the citadel Of life.
Mr.. Earhart made trips to various
places under advice of his physician,
in the hope of benehtting his de-
clining health; but from these travels
no perceptible relief was obtained.
For the past six months his decline
has been rapid, despite the best and
most skillful medical attendance.
He had been confined to his home
for the last three months. Though
it has been evident for some time
that the end was not far off, Mr
Earhart kept up his spirits and hope,
and up to within few days Of his
death he continued to attend to his
official duties. When unable longer
to leave his room and bed, he con-
tinued to sign all official papers and
TO look over the accounts that were
sent up TO him. Tuesday he sank
into a e1matose condition from
which he never rallied.

KoEHLER's PLAN,-The antip-
athy of this Southern Pacific
official towards any railway exten
sion that may benefit Salem has
again been worked off by an exhibi-
ton of hostility toward the Stayton

offered the Stayton people an old
locomotive to use for three years if
they would build a plug line of three
miles over to the o. p. Co., line.
What Stayton wants is direct line

The Kamchatkan bighorn stands
ON the average about 40 inches at the
shoulder, and is a little over feet
inches in extreme length. The
largest head we shot bore horns
measuring 3s inches around the
curve Their circumference at the
base was IA inches and the distance
from tip to tip feet inches. The
animal is very bulky in build, and
the chest girth, which varied very
little in the different specimens, was
only 2 or inches short of 8 feet. In

was just in that hour when solid
midnight sets in here 6 O'clock, and
when, in response to a ring, the
heavy iron door opened with a soft
click. thorc were revealed a few
ST. ps, ana beyond there was dark
ness. I did not know on what story
my friends dwelt, having only the
number of the house. After striking
several matches it appeared that
those sought did not dwell on the
first or second floors. More matches
were struck, and at last the name
appeared. There was nothing to say
about so strange an adventure. 1t is
the way Of the town. One has to get
the hang of the dark stailways OF
stay in first class hotels.
A friend related a similar expert
ence. He was making a call in q
fashionable quarter, and after light
ing his way to the fourth story of a
large house, and he counted the steps
there were 1903 of them--he entered
an apartment that was brilliantly
lighted and found charming circle
Of ladies IN lovely evening costumes.
He expected some explanation of his
passage up the stairway, 103 dark
steps. but it was not regarded as re-
markable in any respect. The peo-
pie upon whom he was calling were
Americans with a superfuity of
money, and abroad for personal re-
pose and educational facilities. The
people are used to the climbing of
stairs, and regard it as a form of nee
essary exercise.
A residence is not a house, but a
series of apartments, connected and
separate from otAers. There is a
common stair" aud it is guarded

front door, bll,ld which, at various
elevations, al. half a dozen well es-
tablished families. There are proba-
bly, four floors, with room for fam
lily, perhaps two of them, on each
floor. You come TO an iron and glass
door, say fifteen feet high, and ring
q bell. You are at once under in
spection from the lodge of the invisi-
bic porter, and if he regards you as
eligible he pulls lever or turns a
crank and the spring latch is with
drawn.
Then you ascend to the floor where
your friends are at home and ring
another bell and you can enter q pri-
vate hall, though often on this hall
there are several parties who merely
know each other as neighbors. This
is the way to concentrate population
and encourage architecture.

MOTOR LINE PROSPECTS.
Salem Street Railway-What Will
be Done-About the New
Franchises.

Before the next city council meet
ing there will come several PROPOSE
tions that involve Salem street car
property aud possibly motor line
exten ions.
THE ELECTRIC LINE
will ask to have its present franchise
on Ferry street to the S. p. Co. depot
changed to State street and Twelfth,
and will seek to occupy those streets
alongside the present horse car line.
They ask this to save expense of
heavy grades on Ferry street
THE HORSE CAR LINE
claims to have au exclusive fran
chise on State and Twelfth streets,
and will resist the Electric going
uDon that street. They will on Sat
urday proceed to put their lines In
better shape, put on uniformed
drivers, and advance their pay to
$l.50 a day. The track will he put
in good order also.
A FRANCHISE
will be asked at the next council
meeting to operate steam motor
from Chemeketa street to the
fair grounds. If that can
be obtained the company will
at once ballast the track
and order several noiseless motors,
in time to run cars to the June
races. This will cost $4,000 to
$4,000. If the council will not
grant this Mr.. Cottle says they will
proceed to electrify the whole line
and build extensions. This will ne
cessiate almost complete recon
struction of the present system and
will cost 100000. But the company
are prepared to build an electric
system if they cannot operate
motors.

THE DEESTRICT SKULE. School
children are inevitably funny. The
Skule is very much like a play
runs on for two hours without ces.
sation, and said to be equal TO many
farce comedies given by professional
companies. 1t pieases the lower
floor and is intensely funny to the
gallery. This famous "skule" will
be given at the opera house on next
Wednesday and Thursday evenings,
May 18th and 18Th. On Thursday
evening special rates will be made
for children, The piece will be
under the management of Mrs.
Nina Larowe, who has come. The
first rehearsal of the "Deestrick
Skule" took place last night, There
was full attendance and every
thing went swimingly. The schol-
ars are some of the most prominent
ladies aud gentlemen in town. The
"skuIe" is probably one of the
most satisfactory amateur entertain
ments ever given. 1t has had its
sessions IN every town Of every
eastern state aud has recently struck
the Pacific coast and now no town
is satisfied till it has had at least
one rendition of it. To see grown up
men and women dressed up specially
for the purpose is indiscribably fun
ny. Mrs. Larowe will play Lucindy
Jane Jenkins. As the district school
is as good as a play, and as it costs
considerable to produce it, the prices
will be 75cts for reserved downstairs,
and scots unreserved. First two
rows upstairs 80, the rest 25cts.
The school is given for the Women's
Relief Corps of the G. a. r. Those
attending will get the worth of the
money in amusement-and will be
dropping an offering in the hand of
charity.

Mrs. J. w. Ewes is engaged in a

safe. He afterwards drew it out and
now it has disappeared. Who has
it?
Some of the hotel people and one
of the police engaged in looking up
the case think the woman has the
stuff. Ewes is still in Jail and from
all accounts suffers from the jim
jams following prolonged spree.
He talks perfectly cool and collected.
The little twelve-year-old girl, his
step-daughter, fairly idolizes him.

is fit subject for the asylum or a

be done today.
Ewes RELEASED.
This forenoon Ewes was released
from Jail and Judge Davidson gave
him some wholesome advice, to quit
drinking, go to work and keep out
of the clutches of the law. He gave
Mrs Ewes an order for the house

Lewisburg and she took the stage
with her little girl for that place.
BUT WHERE is THE MONEY?
When seen about that Ewes could
say nothing that threw any light on
the subject except that he seemed to
care very little to have the matter
looked into. He claims it disap-
peared at the hotel, he knows not
how. He will seek work at his
trade of blacksmith.
