Has a New Arm,

Halle Wilkins has new arm. Hal.
lie is the nine-yearold boy who, on the
18th of last April fell from new bicy.
Gle in the streets of East Portland, and
suffered the loss of his right forearm
by having it run over by street car.
The wheels of the car cut his arm com.
pletely off and as a result of the ampu.
tation thai followed, only four-inch
stump of the arm he was born with
remains below the right elbow.
The new arm and hand is an arti.
fetal one, manufactured in st. Paul,
Minnesota. 1t is made of rawhide,
that has been so treated by chemical
process that in appearance it answers
as well, perhaps, as anything man can
make to take the place of the arm the
boy lost The whole thing weighs less
than a pound, and with it he can han.
die spoon, fork, tooth brush or pen
ell. He can walk to school with his
two hands in his pockets, or ride a
bicycle, or do almost anything that he
could before he lost his other arm.

The services at the NJ. E. church
wee conducted by the Epworth
Leap,Ne, on last Sunday evening.
There was a splendid program rem
dered consisting of music, papers on
various religious subjects, recitations,
and very interesting address by the
pastor, Rev. G. G. Harmon. Rev.
Harmon reviewed and pointed out the
work of the Epworth League. He
showed in a lerse and lucid manner its
advantages to the church. He also
spoke highly of the older members of
the church, who have done 80 much to
build up this sacred institution, but
tried to impress it upon the minds of
the members of the league, that these
christian heroes and heroines would
soon pass away, and that the young
members of the church would have to
take the places made vacant by these
good men and women.
With all, it was an interesting and
profitable service, and was enjoyed by
the large congregation present,

/ Several loyal democrats and popu-
lists of this place, who are from the
state of Tennessee, after seeing the
bulletin which announced McKinley's
majority in that state decided in a
BODY to change their birthplace from
that state to Nebraska, or form con.
federacy and go to Tennessee and kill
all the "niggers" who voted for Nc
Kinley, but they were happily inter-
rupted in their plens when the news
came that Bryan had carried their ma,

On the 25th of November there will
be shooting match at the residence of
David B." Wood. The way the
match will be conducted is as follows:
With rifle.-Each man will throw in
so much apiece to pay for one turkey,
and each will get one shot. If there
are 10 boys it will probably be 10 cents
and If there are 20 boys it will be
cents. This is the advantage in hav-
ing a considerable number of boys.

Albany.


The Corvallis Times says that Mr.
A. H. Kroeschel was in that city to
confer with the sheriff. He reported
no trace at all of the robbers, who have
undoubtedly made successful escape.
That paper says:
Some people took the view that
Kroeschels story was fake, and that
he had not been robbed, but Sheriff
Rickard takes different view of the
matter. Eighty yards from the spot
where Kroeschel declares the robbery
to have taken place, the morocco pock-
ct book in which Kroeschel carried The
gold was found, and leading to the
spot tracks that Tailed exactly with
the description given of the size of
those robbers were discovered. On the
dilapidated rail fence, where Kroeschel
says the men were sitting as he ap-
preached, shavings were found where
the men had whitfield as they waited
for their victim. All of which corrobo-
rates the story of robbery as Kroeschel
told it shortly after it happened, both
to the Times man and the sheriff.
Sheriff Richard has given up the
hunt for the robbers. The approach
Of the regular term of the circuit court
and the manifold duties that the court
business brings to the sheriff's Office,
together with the collection of delin-
quent taxes now in progress, makes it
impossible for him to devote further
time in the search for the men who so
easily pocketed a thousand in gold
that belonged to another.

stabbing ARRAY at Eugene.

The Eugene Guard publishes an ac'
count Ct . stabbing affray at that place,
as follows;
A, u. Mathews, a well known citizen
and one Of the owners Of the Eugene
Boiler Mills, and ]. D. Craig, barber,
engaged in combat at the side door
of the Hoffman house, on Ninth street,
between and o'clock Monday night
which resulted in Mathews being cut
within an inch Of his life.
The fight grew out of an old quarrel.
Just one week ago Monday night
Mathews entered Craig & Vincents
shop to get a shave. Craig's chair was
empty first and he offered to shaye
Mathews, but the latter declined, say
ing he would wait for Vincent and
remarking that Craig had shaved him
once before and cut his face. Craig
denied the statement and dispute
ensued. Mathews called Craig liar
and the latter returned the compli-
ment with bottle of hair oil, barely
missing Mathews head. The bottle
spent its force against the wall and
bystanders prevented the quarrel from
terminating with more serious results.
Sunday nip hit was the first time that
the two men met after the quarrel Of a
week ago. An intense hatred must
have existed between them and
when they came together trouble was
sure to ensue. Craig was just in the
act Of entering the side door OF the
hotel when Mathews came along,
Maddened by the sight of his enemy
Mathews was seized with an uncOn-
trolabe desire to get revenge. Lung
ing forward he struck Craig a heavy
blow with his clinched fist. Both
men are large and powerful. Craig
was staggered by the blow and the two
men grappled. Craig was forced
backward of the sidewalk and fell in
the muddy street with Mathews on
top of him. When first strnck, Craig
had his hand in his pocket. When he
withdrew it he must have drawn out
a small penknife, and which he open
ed in some manner with his right
hand began slashing Mathews left
side. Mathews had on heavy over
coat, which protected him some and
probably saved his life. The keen
edge of the knife blade penetrated the
clothing of his left arm in three diff
ferent places and laid one long cash
open to the bone. Another cut laid
open Mathews upper lip. The cut
that came so near doing the deadly
work was on Mathews left side just
under the arm. The knife blade
pierced through the heavy overcoat,
the side pocket of his coat, his vest and
Ounderelothing and clear through to
he luug
Policeman Pratt was near when the
6gb, began and with others as quickly
az M ssible separated the two men,
o.haru 'se Mathews would never have
escaped live.

P. keeper of records and seals, has gone
to the penitentiary for three years.
The Telegram says: "McConne.l's
downfall, which was quite sensation
in this city, was brought about by
whisky and cards. When arraigned
and asked if he had anything to say,
Mcconnell said that he had no defense
to make of his conduct. Sentence was

ing them nut TO the pupils for periods
of two weeks each, the teachers Keep

its results amply repay all trouble be-
slowed npon it, The plSh strikes Us
as being very practical and simpie anu
one which obviates the outlay oi ANY
money and at the same time places
good literature in the hands of ali '''e
pupil, and thus cultyates tlste VT
reading good books and at the same
time will tend to keep the children off
the street and out of evil con pany.
While all books are not suited for all
ages; the wide range of ages in these
two rooms from 8 to lg admits Of
great latitude in the list of books.
TIE teachers aiming, however, to
ccept none which are not instructive
0r elevating in their tendencies, and
standing ready at all times to assist
/ the pupils in the choice of books.
The library now contains seventy
five volumes and several more volumes
have been promised, bnt not as yet
brought in.
The teachers feel very grateful for
this manifestation of the spirit of CO.
operation and confidence in the school,

FIELD MONUMENT FUND.
Everything Ready for the Bicycle
Meet Tomorrow Afternoon.

Everything Ready for the Bicycle
Meet Tomorrow Afternoon.
A representative gathering of the citi-
zens of Washington. including many of the
best known society people of the capital,
the best bicycle racers in this part of the
country and an excellent track on which
to compete for the handsome and costly
prizes offered, will be the features of the
race meet to be held tomorrow afternoon
at Columbia Field, corner 18th and c
streets, at 2 O'clock for the benefit of the
Eugene Field monument fund.
Although the event is a postponed one.
there is reason to believe that it has bene-
flied by the short lapse of time, and every
evidence on hand points TO a singularly
successful occasion. The financial success
has been assured by the heavy sale of
tickets, which have been disposed OF
among the cabinet the members of the Su-
preme Court, the diplomatic corps. and, in
fact, to all classes of the capitals popula-
ton. The interest which has been mani
tested in the event has more than come up
to the expectations of those having the
matter in charge, and no fear is felt on the
score of being able to add only small con-
tribution to the fund, which is intended to
perpetuate the memory of one of the great
est writer's for children that ever lived.
Equally as well assured is the success of
the event as a bicycle meet. There is
probably not good rider in this section
that has not entered for one or more of the
events, while all the well-known crack
riders have signifed their intention of
competing for the prizes, which will more
than compensate them for their work.
The list of entries as printed I'm Saturdays
Star, shows what the meet will be in this
regard.
The two committees in charge have about
finished all of the work connected with the
enterprise and are now awaiting the re-
suit. A great deal of commendation is due
the members Of these two bodies for their
efficient work in preparing the details of
the meet, and all have displayed the great
est amount of enthusiasm and interest i'm
it. The central committee at Chicago has
also done everything in its power to make
the affair success, and the long list of
valuable prizes that has been sent through
it's Office from the western metropolis at
tests its interest in it, This list as well as
that of the Washington prizes, has also
been given in The Star.
s The chief secretary of the Eugene Field
monument fund of Chicago Mr.. Henry w.
Tiernan, arrived in this city yesterday af-
ternoon. and will remain here until Thurs
day. The principal object of his visit to
the capital is to attend the races tomor-
row afternoon. Mr.. Tiernan is also an
honorary members of the monument COM
mittee. and his share in the work of pre-
paring the prizes to be sent from Chicago
here has been very great.
