PRETTY GIRL CARRIED OFF.
Inveigled Frem Her Home by Two
Procuresses.

The Pendleton Tribune reports the
case of pretty girl being persuaded by
PROGRESSES to accompany them in Uma-
tilla county. The case should serve as
warming in Wasco county. The same
''agencyv may soon have workers in
this vicinity
The adopted 49, S-year-o!d daughter OF
Mrs. Bonnifov, who, though quarter
blood Indian, is said to be much prettier
than many full-blood white girls rated
as beauties, and who resides upon the
reservation, was inveigled from her
home early Saturday morning by two
female PROGRESSES. These women spent
two days upon the reservation going
from family to family, and displaying
cheap and gaudY jewelry and colored
ribbons, which they took from black
grip, in order to test the susceptibility OF
the young. women. 1t was not long be-
fore the white settlers and the more in
telIseent of the Indians became suspic-
ious and made Agent Harper aware of
their fears. He acted promptly upon
the knowledge Mreceived and sent out
warning to different parts of the reser-
yation, too late, however, to prevent the
one young woman from being carried OF.
At daybreak Saturday morning Mrs.
Bonnifou missed the adopted girl and.
upon making inquiries, learned that she
had been seen in wagon with two
women and man. Her worst fears
were Immediately aroused, and after
two hours spent in the untiring efforts
to ascertain what had become of the
> maiden, she was informed of the direc'
. tion taken and also of whose wagon had
: been engaged to carry the party away
Frenzied, the poor woman saddled 1
: horse and started off alone in pursuit
She travelled all day and until the nigh

Mrs. sharp,s sister K1lled.

Mrs. E. F. Sharp left on the localtrain
this afternoon for Seattle, where che was
summoned by telegraph this morning to
attend the funeral of her sister, who was
killed in the Victoria disaster, an ac-
count of which appears on our fourth
page. The oregonian today reports the
death of Mrs. DIR. A. L. Post, who was
identified among the dead by her sister,
Miss Evelyn FarralIy The first mama
should be Provost, but the name of the
living sisteris correct. hence the evi-
dence ie almost conclusive that the dead
woman is Mrs. Sharp's sister.

The Florence or1tsenton missions.


Tonight Mr.. Crittenton will detail the
work of the Florence Crittenton mis-
sions. They are named from daughter
who died in New York City. The idea
of establishing these missions or homes
for fallen women came to him through
a personal ex xperence. One night in the
streets of New York he came upon one
of these women, considerably the worse
for liquor. He spoke kindly to her and
discovered that she had considerable in
telligence, and that she was sick and
tired of the life she was leading. He
asked her why she did not reform and
try to live pure life. Suppose did, =
said the unfortunate creature, who
would take me ln2" The words
haunted Mr.. Crittenton until he deter
mined upon establishing a refuge for her
class of people, where they would meet
with kindness, encouragement and aid.
The plan succeeded so well that others
were established, until today there are
thirty of them. 1t Is said that an insti-
tuition in Portland called the "open
Door" established for similar purpose
is to be turned over to Mr.. Crittentor
and to be hereafter managed as 6
Florence Crittenton mission. The de
tails of the inauguration, operation ant
inside workings and full history of these
missions is to be presented tonight a
armory hall.

rhe PROFESSOR " as the Best woodsman.

At Dallas on Saturday. there was a
Woodinen picnic. A prize had been
offered for the quickest chopping OF a
12-inch fir log, and ]. A. Moran, the
Dayton contestant, seemed to be the
only entry. Nobody could be found to
enter the lists against him until finally,
rather than have the prize go by default
a Salem man consented to contest the
event. To the surprise and delight OF
his friends, the Salem man outchopped
the Dayton Goliath. and utterly dis
comfitted the Yamhilliam Phiiistines.
The David of the incident turned out to
be none other than President w. G.
Hawley, of Willamette university, who
was In attendance as orator of the day.
The prize is gold wedge, about three
inches long and one inch wide at the up
per end. 1t will be suitably engraved

Our City Government.


 IN order to treat this subject in a manner to make it appear lucid to the casual reader and ordinary ob- server, to say nothing of making it comprehensive article, would re- quire more space in the GRAPHIC than can be allotted in this issue. There fore, to be brief we will assume that all its readers are familiar witA the main features of all incorpora- ted towns within the State prior to an act of the legislature Of March 20, 1885. This act. among other things, desig- mated all cities of the State contain ing five thousand or more inhabit- ants, as cities of the first class. To this class Of cities is granted special privileges and enlarged powers, not heretofore enjoyed by them. Among these newly given powers may be mentioned the absolute control of uii SAlCtiSs puDliN anu ItllN dtt ilH- provements within the city limits, as well as the appointive power given the mayor, (and explicit and ab- solute control thereofl to name all sanitary. police, fire department and otler less important employees 0f such cities He is also by virtue of his office chairman of the Board of Public affairs. To this board is given the entire contracting and pur- chasing power of the city, and under it's immediate control and supervis- ion come all the street and other public improvements.
 This act provides also that the mayors salary shall not exceed twenty-five hundred dollars per annum, the exact amountto to be fixed by the City Council, and which can- not be raised or lowered during his term of office. This last feature ap- plies to all the city officials not elected by the people.
 The same act of the legislat ture says, also, Tn regard to the mayor of cities of the first class: "lt shall be his duty to devote his time and at tention to look after all matters to the interest of the city" etc.
 During the year 1894, I think it was, the City Council of Pine Bluff increased the salary of this office, making 1t fifteen hundred dollars per annum. To this salary is to be added an additional amount of two hundred and forty dollars per annum for office rent for the mayor. The aggregate amount of these items are not, within themselves, so at tractive in the way of remuneration to cause citizens of undoubted tinan- elal tact and executive ability to Tall over each other in a scramble foI the position. But to a man who holds similar views on such quetlons as does Mir. Flanagan of Texas, anc with mercantile interest conve

niently arranged,it has more than ordinary attractiveness. We believe in the theory of good salaries and good services. They are partially inseparable and good public services are integral parts of good govern ment. We believe therefore that to elect any citizen mayor of city un- der the laws of our State who does not eminently possess all the essen- tial characteristics needed for this important position not only recoils upon the public interest morally and otherwise, but is a travesty upon the ] intelligence of the people and public economy as well. 1t seems a fair conclusion, then, that all cities of the first class have a right to expect, un- der the reading of the act of our leg islature quoted above, the "time and attention of her most konored official to their prescribed duties. If it be shown in practical results that their pay is not commensurate with their ability and public service, then one of three things should be done; this officials should comply with the law. resign the office, or the pay of the office should be increased. This remark is based, of course. upon the theory that this act of our legislature means what we construu it's words to imply, and is not intended to re- fleet upon any incumbent who may i just now held this ofiee
 Next in point of moral and finan- cial importance comes the office of Police Judge. It is an elective one, and b. city ordinance his pay is fixed at nine hundred dollars per annum and is paid in cash. Were it within the province of this article to pass eulogies we might with propriety re- fer to it's recent management.
 Then follows the City Treasurer, an elective office, the pay of which is two and a halfp cent on all monies of the city coming into his hands and is probably the only officer of the city required to give bond.
 The City Attorney and City Clerk receive five and nine hundred dollars annually, respectively

A Violet Euohre.


 One of the mos. enjoyable euchre's ever given in the city was rendered the Entre Nous Euchre club by Mrs. J. Katzenstein last Wednesday af- ternoon at her home on West Sixth avenue. The entertainment was a violet euchre and well deserved that appellation. Thes large hall and double parlors were one mass of violets and presented a beautiful ap- pearan:e. The tally cards were something entirely new and very original, being also of violet hue. After playing the number of games the guests repaired to the dining room, where an elegant repast awaited them. The dining room was darkened and was illuminated with many different colored lights. The table was profusely decorated with violets, bunch of violets being placed at each plate. The refresh meats were all of violet color and were composed of all thedelicacies of the season. The first prize, a hand some lemazo china chocolate por, was won by Mrs. S. A. Rosenberg. The second prize, an nelegant 'framed study" was won by Mrs. G. H. Franklin. The first guest prize was captured by Miss Ray Kauf- man, the second by Miss Newman of Helena. The lone hand prize was won by Mrs. J. katzenstein.
