Wednesday night in the Odd Fellows
hall, in Hoboken.
The only enemy they have so far en-
countered is matrimony. Every time
a girl has married she resigned, and
there have been quite a large number
of marriage in the guards.
Captain Charles Brown, naval vet
eran and commander of the Hoboken
naval post of the G. A. r., and Captain
]. Wells Martin of the naval cadets,
instruct them at the drills, and they are
about the only men who are ever pres
ent at the interesting exercises.
CAPTAIN OF THE GUARDS.
A New York girl, Miss Margaret Shot
ter, is captain of the guards. Her uni
form is the pride of the sailor girls,
because 1t has six gold stripes and six
gold stars. The uniform Of the regu-
lars is a very pretty sailor suit, includ-
ing a blue skirt, with three bands of
white braid at the bottom, a regular
sailor blouse, with white flannel yoke
bearing a miniature flag, and a round
sailor hat similar to that worn by the
sailors in the navy. The band of the
hat bears the letters "Y. L. N. G." The

jersey Girls For the Navy.

New York, Feb. 4.-The darkness. of
the war clouds which have been hover
ing all over the great nations for the
last month or so has completely showed
the new woman into the background,
and no one has seemed to think it of
sufficient Importance to ask what that
wonderful creature would do in event
of hostilities.
Since the days of the wicked but mar
tial queen of Babylon, many women
have dotted the pages of wars history,
and If the opportunity were given the
athletic womanhood of today, there is
little doubt that some mighty soldiers
would go marching into battle, wearing
boomers, Knockers or skirts, as their
varied inclinations prompted.
This may seem far-fetched, but a
number of young women in Hoboken
could speak more fully on the subject.
Hoboken is seldom treated seriously.
Anything or anyone that has Hoboken
for its origin is regarded as fair tar
get for satire and humor. But for all
that Hoboken has the only regularly or
ganized naval company composed of
women in the country.

is CHARGED wlEH kIDNAPPI II

4 Portland Woman Saws Ter Husband
Is Influenced iiypnoticaliy.
M E. Tobin, man comparatively I'M
known in Portland, was arrested in that
city the other day for the alleged kid
mapping of w. Scott Beebe, formerly
prosperous lawyer of the local bar. The
arrest was effected at the instance of
Mrs. Jola Beebe, wife of the latter.
Mrs. Beebe believes that Tobin is
unduly influencing her husband hynnot-
ically or by the employment of drugs,
the nature of which is unknown to her.
Mrs. Beebe says she has every reason
to believe that Tobin is trying, if he has
not already succeeded in so doing, to
gain complete control over her hus-
bands mind, to induce Beebe to trans
fer to him certain valuable real estate.
Mrs. Beebe has been advised to have
her husband examined for insanity.
Tobin is addicted to morphine, and it
is believed it is through the influence
of this drug that Tobin induced the
lawyer to leave his wife and family sew
eral days ago and since then remain in
hiding.

BROWN HAS tLuDeD HIS PuasueRs
Had Evidently kulicd log Into I'll
River and Embarked.

Had IDENTIFY Rolled a log Into tn
River and Embarked.
News has been received at Roseburg,
Or, from Myrtle point that murderer
Sam G. Brown has again eluded his
pursuers. Friday night he stayed at
ranch near Gravel Ford, 25 miles east
of Myrtle Point. He was much ex
hausted, but left early Saturday morn
ing. Sheriff Gage, who was short
time behind him, tracked him to the
junction of the east and north forks of
the Coquille river. There he found
where Brown had rolled a five-foot log
into the river and evidently embarked.
"A log, supposed to be the same one, was
found lodged a short distance below
There was no trace of Brown having
landed, and he is believed to have been
drowned. The water is very swift, and
Brown may not have been strong
enough to hold on. Another theory is
that this is a ruse to mislead the ON
GERS. A short time will probably deter
mine.
Andy Pool, who is held on the charge
of assisting Brown to escape, waived
examination and his bond was fixed at
$500.

MORE REINFORCEMENT AT PORTLAND

A Cut in the Salaries OF Clerks in the
court ttouse.
Following in the wake of the city Off
Gals, who have been cutting down ex-
penses, the county court has announced
a reduction in the salaries of the clerks
in the court house, of IS per month
each, says the Oregonian. The law as
to deputies provides that they shall De
paid not to exceed 500 per month, but
the maximum rate has never been al
lowed, and the clerks have generally
been paid 800 per month. In future
the salaries will be $85 month. the
cut will affect five deputies in the sher-
ifs office, three in the recorders Of
flee, three in the office of the clerk OF
the county court, and six In the circuit
court clerks office. In the latter office
the excess of work has just necessitated
the appointment of an additional clerk,
per month. The salaries of the chler
deputies are fixed by law at $3.50 per
month each, and can not be changed.
Several women who are receiving only
$50 a month will not be reduced. The
other employees in the county court
house are extra, appointed from time
to time, and the county clerk regulates
the pay when the appointments are
made. The compensation of the bailiffs
in the courts is fixed by law at $40, and
will not be changed. These are entirely
within the jurisdiction of the judges In
| whose courts they serve.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE COLUMBIA

\ Novel Suggestion by Business Ma
at The Da'l los.
Among the many plans for the i'm
provement of the river between The
Dalles and Cello, the most novel we
have heard was one expressed by
business man this morning, says The
Dalles Chronicle. His scheme is to
have the penitentiaries of Oregon and
Washington located on the shores of
the Columbia and for the convicts to be
put to work building whatever it was
decided to build-canal or boat railway
By these means, the protector of the
plan argued, the convicts OF the two
states would be kept al employment
which would keep their hands from
growing soft, and at the same time be
Mastering on the good work Of opening
the Columbia river. IF the conN Jets of
Tennessee work upon the roads ans
those of other states do work requiring
them to be without the prison walls,
why shouldn't the inmates of the Gre
gon and Washington penitentiaries roll
away the rocks that bar commerce upon
the Columbia? In the season when the

PEKIN DUCKS.
A. j. Hallock of Speonk, Long island,
raised last year 10000 Pekin ducks,
market weight exceeded Al tons. He
has so Prairie State incubators, each
holding 800 eggs. 1t is through the per-
lection of the present-day incubator
and brooder which makes possible sue
cess with poultry up on gigantic scale.
1t is needless to state that there ia not a
large egg plant in this country that has
any use for the common barnyard fowl.
They have the best breeds that can be
procured. AS regards the prices paid
for good birds, I quote from the Poul-
try Keeper:
HIGH PRICES AT NEW YORK.
'E. E. Hudson of Kennedyville, Md,
is said to have paid $100 for a Brown
Leghorn cockerel and SIS for a pullet at
the New York show to James Forsyth
of Owego, N. Y. A Black Minorca cock
erel sold for $45. The sum of $40O was
offered for a pen of Buff Wyandottes.
Turkeys sold for 81 a pound. AS much
as 800 was offered for an Indian game.
The sum of $3.50 was refused for a pen
of Black Leghorns, and a second prize
Cochin sold for SIS. A pair of Pouter
pigeons sold for $3.50. These prices show
the difference between pure breeds and
mongrels in value. The persons who
paid these prices were not fools by any
means. They knew just what they were
doing, and they will get their money
back and more too. There is yet plenty
of room for breeders and good birds"
