President and Mrs, Dole Enter
terrain Many Guests,
HONORS TO Mr.. AND MRS. ADAMS,
Hundreds of People Present-Dis-
tinguished Guests-A success Over

With music and flowers. with the
soft glow of Japanese lanterns. hun
dreds of people enjoyed the reception of
President and Mrs. Dole to Mr.. and
Mrs. E. R. Adams at the beautiful home
of the President on Emma street last
night.
From 5 until $50 o'clock guests came
in perfect streams, nor did many see MT
to leave until quite late, on account Of
the pleasant atmosphere that seemed
to parvade everything.
The Hawaiian Band, stationed on the
lawn near the entrance, played popu-
lar selections during the arrival OF the
guests. and assisted materially in max
ing the event pleasant one.
The house was perfect bower OF
plants, from the spacious verandas into
the rooms and out into the conserva-
tory. At the entrance was a curtain
formed of Hawaiian and American
flags. gracefully draped and trailing
lightly on the floor.
The reception room was perhaps the
most profuse in decorations, and show
ed to good advantage the work Of artis-
tic hands. Yellow flowers prevailed,
with here and there sprinkling OF
vines or lunches of maiden-hair. In
secluded corners We're palms and ferns
in jus. the proportion to accord with
the O. ner decorations of the room.
Tie sitting-room, Immediately to the
rear, was decorated with different de-
sign in mind. Pink and red carnations
and here and there bunch of steph-
lotis vine and flowers were set about
in various advantageous positions.
The conservatory leading from the
dining-room was one of the main at
fractions OF the evening. and a place
made welcome by the cooling atmos-
phere resulting from the playin: foun-
tains.
Wandering about from room to room
and out upon the verandas. the guests
were ever treated to some new thing
Of beauty to occupy the attention and
increase the pleasure of the evening.
President and Mrs. Dole and Mr.. and
Mrs. E R. Adams received in the
dra wing-room.
When most of the guests had ar
rived il was found that another pleas
ant feature had been stored up. Miss
McGrew played a violin solo with pi-
ano accompaniment by Mr.. Oscar Her
old, and was followed by Miss Rich
ards with soprano solo, accompanied
by Miss McGrew. Next came a duet,
The Wanderers Night Song" by Mr..
Harry Won Holt and his sister, Mrs.
Glade, with accompaniment by Mrs.
Won Holt. Miss Castles piano solo
concluded the program.
1t would be difficult to state just how
many people attended the reception last
night, but it is safe to say that upwards
of 500 people were present.

Implicated in
SCATTERING THE POISON
A Little Free Advice From
f'a Peck's Sun.

At the preliminary examination
Of Oral Poinaexter, accused of try
ing to poison members of the Widow
Smiths family near Coburg,the boy
proved a complete alibi at the time
tie last supposed attempts at
poisoning were committed, says the
Eugene Guard. About eight wit
nesses were examined on each side,
and there vera some conflicting
testimony. One of the little girls,
a step.granddaughter Of Mrs. Smith,
testified that she saw the boy enter
the premises at the time some Of
the supposed poison and The last
threatening notes were left at the
house, but her testimony was not
accepted.
There was no9yidence introduced
to show thssstherehad really been
any crcs6n placed about the house,
excepting at one time, when some
vitriol was found in the pump.
The other stnff scattered about the
premises, which Mrs. Smith
thought was poison, was only an
imitation substance, placed there
with an evident intention of fright
ening her. In fact, the exam
ination tended to show that there
was no intention to kill any mein-
Der of the Smith family, but,
instead, an effort was being made
to frighten Mrs. Smith so that she
would leave the ranch. This ex-
| plains very clearly why the family
prosecutor did not succeed in
poisoning any members of the FAM
lily, as was at first supposed he was
trying to do.
Potter & Condor who prosecuted
the case, joined in with Doris Il
Stevens, who had charge ofthe de-
| fense, in the effort to ferret the
matter out, and find out who the
guilty party is, and they are con-
tident they now know to whom to
attach the blame for the whole af-
fsir--namely, a member Of the
prosecuted family. However, it is
believed that the trouble has come
to an end, and lfsuch shall prove
to be the case, the suspected party
will doubtless be allowed to &c
without being prosecuted
The result Of the examination
shows that the boy, Oral Poin,
dexter, a bright young lad, had
nothing whatever to do with tht
crime.

Basques and Goats.

There are a goodly number of
basques wornsthat are really round
waists fitted to the bottom of the
waist-line, or slightly pointed, and
a ripple or nearly circular basque
piece added. With these are worn
ribbon or betting band, or soft
folds of silk or velvet fastening
with a buckle or two large buttons
III front, or with button at either
side. The ripple piece is nearly
plain in front, fuller on the hips
and in godet effect at the back,
needing a stiff interlining. This
piece is five inches deep and must
be prettily lined as the under part
shows. The basque omits the GEN.
tire back seam only, and the fronts
may be like an Elton jacket over
full vest, or the plastron and vest
effects are applied outside Of the
basque. The only double breasted
designs seen are the tailor-made
gowns, worn with a chemisette and
having a rolling collar and revers.
The fashionable coat waists have
the full basque effect, but this is
cut in one with the remainder Of
the garment, and the skirt part of
a Louis XVI coat is from four to
seven inches deep. These open
straight down over an elaborate
vest, and may be cut with an Eton
front and long back; they have
full or fiat hips, always full back,
and the skirt part may begin at
the centre front or at the hips.
This part is cut according to the
wearer, 50 careful fitting is'required.
Very large pointed or square rcvers
are worn ON the coats, immense
sleeves, crush collars, sometimes
turn. back gauntlet cuffs and q
large cravat bow or jabot. Such q
coat will be correct for wear with a
wool skirt, or of figured colored
silk with a black silk or wool skirt,
They are worn by ladies Of all ages
and of every form.-Emma M

HELD FOR MURDER
Evidence that Hinkle and
Bear Dealt Foully
WITH THE BOOK AGENT.
Oregon Pioneers Will Meet
in Portland.
WITH THE BOOK AGENT.

VIM. Rudio. of Long Creek, who
recently returned from business
trip to Crook county, gives an ac-
count of the discovery in that Sec
ton, Of the charred remains of a
book peddler in the ruins of a cabin
owned by Joe Kerns, which had
been burned with the evident in
tention of concealing crime, says
the Eagle. The cabin is situated
on the border line between Grant
and Crook counties near the head
of Beaver creek and is a very
sparsely settled country.
The victim is remembered in
Canyon City as having passed
through there last fall with the in
tention of returning before winter.
The last seen or heard of him as
near as can be ascertained, was at
the farm of Mrs. Hinkle where he
stopped and made inquiries about
the route to Breman's place. 1t SO
happened that a daughter and
son-in law of Mrs. Hinkle were
about to start for the same locality,
and informed the wayfarer that il
he would follow their tracks he
would reach the place all right.
With that understanding they
started out, but upon reaching
Swamp creek, it has since trans.
pired, the peddler must have lost
the track, for nothing more was
seen of him. After wandering
aimlessly about he accidently
stumbled onto or was inveigled
into the deserted cabin where it i;
supposed he was murdered for bis
money. It is said that he haG
between 5000 and $3.50 in cash
when he left Canyon City.
It is learned from James Manion
a commercial drummer, who ar
rived In Long Creek yesterday from
Canyon City, that two young mer
-Hinkle and Bear-were arrested
by Sheriff Combs and Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Cozad, and are nov
being held with charge Of murder
against them. Bear will be re
membered by persons who attended
the races in Long Greek last fall. al

ENGLISH vIEWs Of WHEAT

The. Market Will Be Largely Governed
by the Weather,
A subscribersAgsB Beerbohn13s- List
(London) writing upon what he
calls the abnormal dullness in the
wheat trade, says he believes it is
due as much TO the Disappointing
movements of stocks in America as
to reduced consumption. He
points to the fact that, notwith-
standing the early reports Of a
great falling off in the production
Of wheat in America this season,
the visible supply, as shown by
Bradstreet's returns, is practically
as large as it was in the two years
previous, east of the Rocky
mountains, and he expresses an
opinion that an upward movement,
in order TO be strong, ought to be
initiated in America" To great
extent Beerbohm agrees, 'for there
is no doubt that the predisposition
to weakness in the American nar-
kets has been a great obstacle to
any improvement. On the other
hand, the reports of the rapid re-
du ,tion in the stocks in Russian
ports come partly as a surprise to
the trade; to many 1t may be news
to find that the actual stocks are
less than they have been for some
time past. On December 13 the
official returns gave the stocks in
the fifteen ports at 3,26O,OO0 quar-
ters; the returns for March 13, just
to hand, show that the stock is re-
duced to 1906, 900 quarters" The
returns do not betoken abundant
supplies from Russia in the near
future, whatever the future may
have in store. The markets gener-
ally, however, will, it is very like
ly, be almost entirely governed by
the weather during the next two
months"

the attention of the voters to an
amendment in the manner Of vot.
ing.
The. last legislature made a
change in the method of making
ballots. The voter does not now
strike out the names which he does
not wantto ballot for. A simple
cross made at the left of the
candidate denotes his choice. The
following is the provision Of the
law in questions: "On the receipt
of the white ballot as aforesaid the
elector shall forthwith, and with
out leaving the enclosed space,
retire alone to one Of the com
partments provided, and shall there
prepare his ballots by making i'm.

he has just completed the burning

Of lime as can be gotten anywhere

There was no business, not a team

York Sun, was the range Of Krupp's
well-knowD monster" 130-ton
steel gun, firing a shot weighing
1900 pounds. The Hilton Arm
strong gun has an extreme range
Of fourtee miles, firing shot weigh
ing 1900 pounds, and requiring
960 pounds Of powder. These guns,
however, proved too expensive, be-
ing unable to stand firing 100
times, and their manufacture has
practically been abandoned. The
22-ton Armstrong gun hurls solid
shot for distance of twelve miles,
and the discharge Of the gun can
! be heard at the place where the
ball strikes. From twelve to thir-
teen miles is the computed range
of the most powerful guns now
made, and 10 obtain that range an
elevation ofSnearly forty-hve de-

Quick-fring guns are more de-
pended upon at the present day

sidered the most wonderful of guns
perhaps, is one of the Maxims,
which can FIRE as many as 600
