A Fraudulent Drummer.

The well-known firm Of j. j. O'Brien &
Co. has been receiving number Of inqui-
ries from Nevada as TO the authority of a
man. 9. Williams, to represent the house.
Ii seems that Williams has been calling at
dry-g0Ods stores in Carlin and elsewhere,
presenting samples marked much below
cost and taking orders. In many cases he
obtained cash and gave in return re-
ceipted billhead. deliberately printed, with
the firms name and having his Own name
added by rubber stamp.
The firm OF J.. j. O'Brien & Co. wish to
announce that W bile they have a big mail
order trade throughout the coast they do
not employ travelling agents and this ma n
Williams" is fraud. The police are
looking for him and he may yet be cap
tured.

PENSION MATTERS
Veterans Home Directors
Are Worried.
Less Than 10 Per Cent of the
Inmates Comply With the
New Regulations.

An adjourned meeting of the board of
directors of the Veteran Home Association
was held last night. w. G. Burnett presd-
ing.
Treasurer Currier reported the receipt
from the State Controller OF warrants
amounting to $4,000. and twenty-seven
pension checks from inmates of the home,
aggregating $685.
The new rule regarding the payment of
pensions was the cause of long debate.
The first case in which a pension was re-
tanned by an inmate of the home was by
James Hutchings. When this inmate re-
ceived his money he spent it for the bene-
tit of his family. The commandant under
the new pension regulations would not
permit him to return to the home until the
money was paid into the home. Several
comrades advanced the money to him, and
il was ordered paid back to them.
The Hutchings case was the prelude to
a discussion over the question of retaining
the pension checks of inmates or requiring
them to return them for deposit with the
treasurer. Captain Deal presented the
case OF Patrick Lynch, who desired to re-
tain his pension of IS month until such
time as he should discharge an indebted
ness of $50. contracted prior 10 his admis-

When the second half was called the
game stood to in favor OF Stanford.
1t is hardly necessary to go into the de-
tails of the second half. Sufficient to say
that for scientific playing Stanford proved
a great deal more than a match for the
Reliance eleven. Every time the college
team came into possession of the ball it
scored gain upon gain. The quick pass
ing OF the ball from one to another of the
players without tumble was feature of
the game highly commented upon by the
spectators, and then the excellent runs
made by Stanford men around the ends
proved concIusiyely that the colegians
were thorough masters of the game.
The Reliance team did we'll considering
the material 1t had to contend against. In
the heavy plays the Reliance boys proved

probabilities are that the game would

scientific point of view. however. the

A New System for the Distribution

Rev. Father Connolly, pastor OF St.

The Catholic Charity Society OF the
Spanish church held its annual meeting
on Monday last. Over $500 mad been paid
out in charity during the year, and bal

amount is considered a small item in
proportion TO the number of poor applyin
for aid.
There will be grand Christmas festi-

1t will be conducted by the Christian
Brothers of the Parish, and will be held in
the large new hall.

The pastors of st. Paul's and st. Charles
Berromeo have lDauguraied new system
of distri buting holy water In the vesti-
bules OF these churches small tank of the
blessed water Is placed for the use of the
congregation. Hitherto holy Saturday, has
been the only day on which the faithful
could obtain holy water in quantity, except
by applying TO the clergy. The new plan
has been very satisfactory, and many
other Catholic churches will adopt it.

The following advice is offered to the
citizens of Oregon, gratis, instead of
eIccting members Of the legislature to
mako laws, divide counties etc, why
not hire the able editor of the Oregoni-
an to do it for you. The Oregonian op-
poses county division on general prin-
ciplos and as a result it secms impossi-
bIe to get any measure of that kind
through no matter how worthy, or else
elect men who can think for them
selves. The Sentinel says we have lost
our head, perhaps so, and we pre-
diet that all Goldendale office seekers
will be in n similar condition at the
next election.

soup where the honorable ID. w. Pierce
will be if he is ever imprudcnt enough
