the well world are putting on airs. or
that they are wearing more fashionable
clothes than formerly, or that baby
carriages are more magnificent than
they used TO be, or that their nurses
are more chic than customary or that
the baby set has become more exclu-
sive than 1t was In years gone by.
Simply put 1t means that larger fam
lilies are the present order Of affairs in
and around Fifth avenue.

A Former o. p. Man.

a number of years ago Fred II. Dingle
and wife resided in Corvallis, says the
Times. Mr.. Dingle had employment at
that time as stenographer in the o. p.
office. He had nice little Irish wife
and while resident OF this city there
was child born as the result of their
union. For time all went well, then
MIR. and Mrs. Dlngle and child went TO
San Francisco. Then trouble began.
just what their first experiences were
in San Francisco is net known, but Dim
gle and wife we're divorced. Later Dingle
became assistant secretary of the Man
ulacturers' and Producers Association.
Here he set fast pace, far too rapid for
q man to go on salary OF $lc0 per month
in Frisco. What was worse for him, he
made the acquaintance of q maiden ad-
dicted to the hloomer habit, who was n
waitress in a restaurant on Taylor street
She evidently assisted him 20 his de-
struction. and together they excited The
suspicious of the directors of the associa.
tion employing him, for the books in his
charge were exported and Dingle WAS
found to be short about $3.50. When the
charge was placed at his door Dingle did
not deny it, and he is now an inmate OF
the San Francisco bastile. The charge
is embezzlement. So much for wine and

While in Corvallis Dingle was looked

Thus his memory is preserved by few

Mr.. o'Donnelrs Opinion

In the opinion OF Mr.. William z.
o'DonneiI, well-known lawyer and re-
publican leader Of Independence, Polk
county, Bryan will carry Oregon by
large majority, gays the Tribune.
81 have been in nearly every county iiI
the state," said Mr.. 0Dcnneil, 'tand
find the feeling is very strong against
Mckinley and gold monometsIism, and
equally strong in favor OF Bryan and ths
free coinage Of silver.
'To chow the feeling in the outside
counties, need only cite an incident
which occurred on the Oregon Central
train. bound from Yaquina to Albany,
last Saturday. There were 81 p2ssen-
gers on the train and all the occupants Of
one coach were discussing the chances Of
Bryan and Mckinley Of securing the
presidency. Il was finally decided to
take vote Of all the passengers on the
question, and five tellers we're appointed
for that purpose. They took tie ballot
OF every passenger and when they count
ed them il was found that Bryan had re-
ceived 81 and Mckinley Z. may cay
here that the passengers were neither
anarchists nor socialists, bat respectable,
intelligent gentlemen returning from a
soj0urn at the sea coast. They are only
q few Of the many who will help 10
swell Bryan's majority In this state "
Mr.. ODonnel formerly practieed Law

publican, bat this year he Is silver man.
He has resigned his membership in all
organizations that have declared for Me-

county republican executive committee.
