A DRESSMAKER'S LETTERS
An Oregon Woman Charged With Msilin
Improper Missives 81

An Oregon Woman Charged With Mailing
Improper Missives 81
Eugene, Ore, March miss Mary Ber'
ger, fashionable dressmaker of Eugene,
was held to answer before the United
States Commissioner for sending improper
letters through the mails. The circum-
stances of the case present features that
make it really remarkable. If no m stake
has been made in accusing Miss Berger,
it appears that the woman has been for
the past year and half writing notes to
various leading women of the city defam-
ing her own character, and by skillful and
systematic devices making it appear that
the author was Mrs. DR.. McKenny, one
of the best known and most highly re-
spected women in the town. DR.. McKenny
at one time had been attentive to Miss
Berger. The ladies who received the vile
letters rejecting on Miss Berger complain
ed to the Postoffice Department, and the
arrest of the dressmaker followed.

The Statesman Says the Valley Road Will
Reach Stockton
Stockton, March 2.-Senator John Boggs
of Colusa, who owns valuable water front
property in this city, was in Stockton to-
day looking after his interests. The Sen
ator said there was no doubt in his mind
that the new railroad would come to Stock
ton, and lie stated that he stood ready
to deal literally with the projectors of the
road in the matter of rights of way, yard
facilities and SO forth. AS the land owned
by the Senator covers the most desirable
site in this city for railway yards, being
located ON tide-water, his. statements arc
OF interest. He practically holds the key
to the situation. He has granted rights Of
way and terminal facilities to the United
Railway Company on certain conditions,
but this does not prevent him from grant
ing another road the same favors.

Messrs. H. M. Sale & Son and the

will discontinue advertising the said
goods at that figure, providing that
you will sell the Canadian Club at
$3.50 per bottle retail.

the fact of your using it asa LEADER"
still feet sure that Messrs. Hiram

General Otis will give the system another
trial next week and, if satisfactory, Cap

The fight in the convention this
week will be over the suffrage
clause. This clause, as reported by
the committee of which Senator
Tillman is chairman, calls for a
property and educational qualif-
cation Senator Irby has announc-
ed that he will fight this quallfca-
tion to the finish, and he claims
that two-thirds of the Reformera
are, with him.
"When asked about sub.
mitting the qualification clause to
the committee on the judicial de-
nartment for its, opinion he said
that such would be his line because
it was very essential TO know wheth-
or the understanding and explain
ing" clause and other provisions
were constitutional. He under
stood. that there was grave doubts
about it even among the members
of the suffrage committee and be
remarked that it would be a pretty
howdy-do if the poor men were
given a hope of being registered as
voters and then to have that provi-
sion wiped away as unconstitu-
tional. The cat was out of the
bag, he thought, and the sooner
the committee knew that there was
a grave question about this "un-
derstaLding" clause the better.
In the course of his chat he re-
marked, when asked about a slate,
that he has never been a slate man
and what was more that never ex-
pected to have running mate. II
he could not win by himself he did
not expect to do so. He remarked
that he expected to get his COM
mission directly from the people
and not by combinations"
