DR.. BALL KIDNAPPED
Portland Dentist Meets With a
Remarkable Adventure.
TURNS UP UNFRAMED AT KELSO

but Finally Release Him.

but Finally Release Him.
Kelso, Wash, Nov. 20 DIR. f. /.
Ball, dentist, Of Portland. who was
thought to be drowned at Kalama last
Friday night, reached Kelso this even
ing, after a most remarkable expert
enoe with robbers and kidnapers. He
reached Kalama from Portland last
Friday, and the same night went to
Goble, returning to Kalama at
o'clock in the evening. The night was
dark, and while cropping his way upon
the wharf he was pounced upon by
three men, and was choked, gagged
and robbed.
After being robbed. DR.. Ball was
taken beneath the wharf and held
prisoner until late hour, when he was
made to accompany the robbers north
on the Northern Pacific railroad track
to point about four miles above Kelso,
in all about fourteen miles He was
then taken into the mountains to Sc
cluded shack, which was reached about
day break Saturday morning. Here the
doctor was held prisoner until about 3
o'clock this morning, when he was
given his liberty. He was guarded at
the shack by two of the men, while the
third reconnoitered.
When given his liberty, the doctor
was misdirected, but, suspecting that
he was misinformed, took the opposite
direction. He became bewildered and
lost his way, until about 3 o'clock this
afternoon, when he heard train on
the coal road of the Anchor mine,
which he soon reached, and which he
followed to the lii of the Northern
Pacific railroad. He reached the home
of W. II. Yancey, about two miles
from this place, at 5 o'clock. He told
him his adventures. He was given
supper, and, having lost his hat, he re-
ceivd one from Mr.. Yancey, who d.
rected him to Kelso, where he arrived
about o'clock this evening.
1t is the opinion of the doctor Tat
he was taken into the mountains to be
held until the robbers could get out of
the country. They were common
hobos, and not familiar with the To-
eality. The doctor was relieved OF $35
in money, college pin and watch and
chain. The watch was afterwards re-
turned.
The doctor describes his assailants as
follows: Two smooth. faced men, one
about Is years old, the other about 80,
with scurvy marks on arm. He had
been a sailor. The third man had a
dark, shaggy beard of about one
ronth's growth, was aged about SO,
and was about feet 10 inches in
height. The doctor Immediately sent
dispatch to his relatives in Portland.
He gives his experiences cody, and
seemingly has not suffered from the or
deal through which he passed.

Harbors of Our Nation Must BE Placed
In Proper Defense.
Washington, Nov. 19.-The work Of
placing our harbors in state Of defense
is summed up in the report Of the board
Of ordnance and Notifications. signed
by General Miles. Colonies Frank and
Hsines. and Major Phipps, and made
public today. 1t reads:
Under the increased appropria tions
for the present fiscal year the work Of
placing our harbors in proper state
of defense is making good progress,
and If only the same sums are appropri-
ated annually for a few years our
principal ports will present formid-
able front TO an attacking fleet. 1t is
hoped, however, that even more liberal
appropriations will be made, in order
that we may soon be ready for any
emergency that may arise at any time.
In view Of the present serious aspect Of
European politics, lie is only common
prudence for the nation to be on its
guard, for, should a conflict arise, we
are liable to be embroiled with some
power whose navy in the present de-
4 fenseless condition of our coasts, might
destroy or exact enormous ransoms
from our chief cities.
A war. II it comes at all, will come
with no warning. and no time for
preparation. China, with undefended
ports and an inadequate navy, was de-
feated in a few months. In the last
war between the great military powers
Of Germany and France, the surrender
at Sedan occurred only forty days after
the declaration of war. The wars Of
nations occur in cycles of varying
length, but seldom does a generation
pass without conflict Already more
than thirty years have passed since our
If the past be guide to the future, ter
inmate one of the longest intervals of
peace we have ever enjoyed. Our en-
cheering department is ready with the
most modern plans for Notifications,
and our ordnance departemnt is pre-
pared with designs for guns and car
riages. IL congress will but increase
the appropriations to the capacity OF
those departments for useful and eco.
nomical works, 1t will not be long be.
fore our coats are secure against the at.
tacks of foreign powers.
An effective preparation for war is
the best safeguard against war.

MISPLACED Admiration.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps gives, in Nc.
Clure's Magazine, some "reminiscences
of Whittier, the humorous side of his
nature as well as the serious one. He
was full of frolic, In a gentle way; no
one of the worlds people ever had a
keener sense of humor. From every
interview with him one carried away
a good story or a sense of having had
a good time. He never darkened the
day or Swallowed the heart He inspir-
tied and invigorated.
Il like" he wrote to a friend, "the
wise Chinese provero: You cannot pre-
vent the birds Of sadness from flying
over your head, but you may prevent
them from stopping to build their nests
in your hairp"

com Is connected made one of the
amusing incidents in his life
A caller, one of the "tnnumerable
throng that moves" to the doors of the

curiosity of an ignorance too pitiable to
resent, made himself troublesome one
day in the poets home at Amesbury.

", ito take you by the hand. | have
long wished to know the author of

Now, Lucy Larcom happened to be
sitting, in her serene fashion, silently
by the window at that time, and Mr..
Whittier turned toward her with the
courtly bow into which the Quaker
poets simple manner could bend 50
finely when he chose.

hand toward the lady in the window,

Dead Body of Anton veranae Fouud
In Clifton.
Astoria, Or, Nov. 10. - Another
murder has been committed in Clifton,
the scene of so much bloodshed during
the fishermen's strike. This time the
victim is Anton Verange, a young
Greek, aged about % years. Saturday
the young man was missed from his
home, and an uncle. who lives in Cliff
ton, telegraphed to Seattle for informa-
tion concerning him. Nothing was
learned, and search was instituted.
This morning, while boy was hunt.
ing back Of the house of d. Falangos, a
Greek "boss. living Just above Cliff
ton, he came upon the body of young
Verange, lying on the side of the road.
Coroner Pohl was telegraphed for,
the people thinking Verange had COM
mitted suicide. The coroner found
that the man had been stabbed above
the left nipple, the wound being the
cause of death. The knife with which
he was killed has not been found. The
body was brought to this city and an
examination was held. No motive is
known to have existed for the commits
sion of the crime, but 1t is POSSIBLY the
result of differences which existed be-
tween fishermen during the strike.
