SUDDEN DEATH,

Professor and Mrs. French mourn
the death of their little baby sol, J
years old, which transpired Wednesday
morning under circumstances shockinz
and sad. The little, one had beeu
troubled, though not seriously, faT
some days with stomach derangemert
peculiar to the infantile age and had
treatment under which it seemed to be
getting along all right. Dnrlng its las
night alive the baby fretted but II
time quieted down, In the morning
when the parents arose it appeared 70
be sleeping comfortably and was nol
disturbed. Later the mother went to
her baby's cot, where closer view DIS

little form was in the chill embrace ot

THE INJUNCTION BUSINESS.

Touching the matter of injunctions
against the levy of the state board OF
equalization, Tuesday evening Salem
journal contained this item: ''The tax
levy for the state is not yet made.
Upon motion of attorney General
Chamberlain demurrer was sustained
IN the Multnomah circuit court to the
suit brought to enjoin the state board
from levying under the increased val.
uatlon of mortgages as equalized by
the boars of equalization. No appeal
had been taken up to today, and the
state levy will probably be made as
soon as the board can meet. State
warrants are not being cashed at pres
ent and state funds " ill not be availa-
BILE tor some time. But warrants are
at par"
In Benton county the tax situation
stands just as immovab'y as it dill
three weeks ago. The injunction
brought here has blocked completely
the wheels of the revenue raising ma,
chinery, the rolls not having been ex~

the State board nor can anything ba

Judge Hutford has done everything
in his power to bring about ID SPEEDY

has framed all answer to the order, and
long since notified both the Attorney
general and Judge Fullerton with a
request for their early attendance to
give the case a hearing. He haG
hoped that the matter could be reached
last week, but was advised by Judge
Fullerton that the latter was detained
by a press of urgent business. in his
own county.
Meantime Judge Huford has every
thing in readiness SO that when the
officials do come the matter can 60 to

disposed of quickly as possible to the

Judge Hutford, in his answer, is saili
to have carefully produced all the Law
he could bring to bear upon the case
calculated to give it fair and search

Is is to be hoped the question may
soon be settled. 1t is getting mighty
monotonous; it is holding the county's
nose right down to the grin1stone;
locking what little money there is up
from circulation; dstractlng publio
credit and everybody's else hingeing
upon it; and piiing upon the county E
big interest account which would not
have existed had taxes been collected
in the usual manner.
Looking at the subject from the
standpoint Of general principles. it ap--
pears as if revenue affairs of this
country are conducted upon about a.,

two ten-year old kids usually play

THE X. OF P. PARTY.

More than 600 people were guests
of Valley lodge X. of p at the opera
house, last Friday evening. Never
were patrons of royalty more hand
somely entertained. The audience re-
ceived with high favor and outbursts OF
applause the stage exercises, which
though brief We're meritorious and
tastefully selected.
7. O. Wilson acted as master of
ceremonies. J. Fred Yates delivered a
neat address of welcome. Then came
a vocal solo 10y Miss Lou, Burnett, a
violin solo by Ru,huin Turney, fol-
lowed by more vocal music by Miss
Addie Davenport. Each performer
was called to the fore by encore and
thus doubled up the melodious mum
beas.
Tho most interesting part of the
programme, however, came when the
hall had beed cleared Of its seats and
lovers of the nazzv dance Joined i'll
their graceful rounds of enjoyment,
which were continued until the "we
sma' hours" forming one of the pleas
ing events of the SEASON. The knights
have the compliments of this social
realm. Their success III this their an
niversary festival is heartily congratu-
lated.

A MODEL SPRING DAY.

Last Sunday was a beautiful day.
Its air was soft and balny and its
sunlight just clear enough to be genial
and alluring, just tempered with fieecy
cloud-veils sufficient to make the bril-
liant intervals more intense and ap-
preciable. Toward evening the city
was all astir. Her "beauty and her
chivalry, grave and gay, pert and par
ticular, frivolous and sanctimonious,
robust and delicate-"eveiybody" took
little swing out into the pure azone
and drank health and vigor from the
great laboratory of natures ambient
emolient-ah. [Great applause. The
scene presented was really one to cheer
and encourage. Heavens blessing is
the portion of those who can revel
out in the inimitable pleasures of an
Oregon spring time; God pity the
poor invalid who is shut in from Its
benifcence and its glories.

HUMOROUS BUT NOT VULGAR.

Aesceticism has nothing to fear in
the presence of the artist Alba Hey
wood. His facial expression is some
thing wonderful and he has the fac
ulty of apparently enjoying the fun as
much az those in front. He is a
comedian that the people are the bet
ter for seeing and hearing, and not the
least attraction of his perfor nance is
the absolute freedom from the slightest
taint of the little lmproprieties which
have found themselves so prominent
IN most productions of like nature.

looked forward to with great anticipa-

this faithful help-mate of the fire guar

elevating and encouraging in their
moral influence; and independent and
self-sustaining in the management OF
their organization. Now they want
aid to furnish their new hall. Char
acteristic of their old time spirit of
self-helpfulness they have adopted this
method of exchanging benefits with
their friends-of giving value received
for the funds their entertainment will
bring. The public recognizes their
claims. 1t will respond en- mass to

DUNBAR AND HIS DOPE.
More Testimony Against PortIand's
Ring of Smuggiers.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 29.-The principal
witness to-day in the Dunbar smuggling
case was Robert Garthorne of San Fran
cisco, who was in the employ of the Mer-
chants Steamship Company during the
year 1892. Garthorne pleaded guilty Mon
day last to one indictment for smuggling.
He stated on the witness-stand that he
entered the plea of guilty for the reason
that he believed the penalty Inflicted upon
him would be less than il he went to trial,
as be considered the Government had a
good case against him. He stated that he
worked for salary. and that his duties
consisted in landing opium from the
steamers Wilmington and Haytian Repub-
lie. He received orders from Dunbar and
Blum.
Sig Baer Of San Francisco testified that

money in bank there TO the credit of Dun

THE ELKS' CARNIVAL.
1t Proves an Artistic and a Financial
Success,

The Elks held their annual carnival at
the Mechanics Pavilion last night and
despite the inclement weather upward of
1000 people were in attendance. AS a
curtain-raiser for the usual parade of
floats and grand march of maskers, the
Elks gave a brief but brilliant vaudeville
en- tertalnment. 1t opened with a skate
and bicycle race, followed by acrobatic
featS, dances, sword contest and a re-
markably clever exhibition by the troupe
of Touareg Arabs now s0journing in this
city. The sons of the desert seemed TO
enjoy the wide eXpanse the floor room of
the pavilion afforded.
The grand march, in addition to large
crowd OF maskers, was arranged as fol-
lows: Arch Marshal of Pleasure, band,
executive committee, Grand Lodge officers,
officers of Golden Gate Lodge No. 6. Elks;
floor manager and assistants, floor commit
tee. reception committee. members of the
orcer; first t1Oat-German village. Midway;
second foat-Old Vienna, Midway; third
f0at-Streets of Cairo. Midway; fourth
float-Esquimau village, Midway; fifth
haat-Turkish village, Midway; sixth
1oat-Biarney Castle, Midway; seventh
foat-Ferris wheel.
The floats were unusually good, being
copies of old pictures and very we'll staged
on the little carts. The attendants, both
preceding and following. were appropri-
ateiy costumed, and as whole the pageant
surpassed former efforts made in that
direction by the Elks.
The dance followed at once, and seldom
has the pavilion been filled with maskers
in more gorgeous costumes. Until the
''wee sma' hours" the merry folks kept up
their revelry. and the tired committeeman
went home satisfied with their success,
From financial standpoint the carnival
was even greater success, and the Elks
are more than satisfied

LEHIGH STRIKERS.
Many Will Be Taken Back to Work
Without Prejudice.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 29.-Immediately
upon their arrival here the State Boards
Of Arbitration of New York ana New
jersey went into consultation with the
general grievance committee. Chairman
Madden Of the New York Board presented
Mr.. Wilbur's ultmatum and the company
agrees to take back as many old employees
as IL can find places for without prejudice
on account Of the fact that they struck or
are connected with any labor organization
while in the EN- ploy of the road. Commit
tees from the various classes of employees
will be received, as stated in the bulletin
of November q, and their grievances con-
sdered and justly treated. In employing
men in the future the company will give
preference to former employees when the
strike is declared off. Madden, after con-
ference with the chiefs, stated that he ex.
pected some definite action would be taken
by the strikers inside of eighteen hours.
