CAT IN A Pipe ORGAN.
Unusual Experience of q Hotel Cat
I'm n Music BOX.

Unusual Experience of q Hotel Cat
I'm Music Box.
A few nights ago, when the big aeo-
liam at the Great Northern began its
usual evening programme it didn't
seem to work just right, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. The aeolian was doing
it's level best to play the wedding march
from "Lohengrin," but made an awful
mess of it.
The first strain. which everybody re-
members goes "Run-rum-te-tum," was
followed by 'meouw-wow-ow." An the
crowd looked up at the organ and tried
to locate the spot where the unusual ac-
compartment came from. The next
strain of the march was followed by
screeching yowl that was heard clear
up to the G floor. People at dinner
dropped their knives and forks and
looked nervously at each other and
then at the doors and windows. Just as
the third yell came out of the aeolian
Proprietor Eden was seen on the second
floor stealthily moving toward the in
strument with ladder in his hand. Mr..
Eden crept up close to the aeolian and
listened for moment. Then he put his
ladder against the right side and slowly
made his way to the top. When he got
up he reached over and put his hand
down inside of the F fat pipe. There
were no results at first. Then he stood
on tiptoe and showed his arm to the
shoulder down the mouth of the pipe.
Then followed terrible yowling and
but the colonel pulled and
with noise like the departure of a
tight cork from the neck of a beer bot
tie he pulled the hotel cat out of the
pipe and carried it down to the bag
gage room, where it belongs.

Waseo County Republicans Refuse to De-
nounce the Hold-Up.

waseo County Republicans Refuse to De-
nounce the HoId-Up.
Before the republican county con-
vention yesterday, Hon. W. Il. Dufur
introduced resolution denouncing the
hold-up of the legislative session of
1897. and asked that it be adopted. but
the convention was in no mood for
such action, and motion was made to
refer the resolution to the county GEN.
trail committee. Mr.. Dufur vigorously
opposed the motion, stating that he
wanted to put the republicans of
Wasco county on record as opposing
the nefarious conduct of Oregon's leg
islators.
Mr.. Dufur, however, was in hope
less minority in this case, and could
not raise any enthusiasm for his reso-
luton. 1t was no go; the majority of
the convention would not condemn
the representatives of their party for
their acts at Salem in 1897, and the
motion to refer the resolution carried
by unanimous vote, except that of
Mr.. Dufur, which was cast in the mega
tive.
From this action it would seem that
the republicans of Wasco county con-
slider the action of the representatives
in the legislature justifable-that the
end (the defeat of Mitchell) justified
the means-and the delegates were
not willing 10 censure tho anti-Mit.
chellites for their action.

JUSTIFIABLE STEALING.
Why Kentucky Judge Set Aside
Verdict of N Jury

why q kentucky Judge Set Aside n
Verdict of a Jury.
Il heard the late Judge john R.
Grace, of the court of appeals of Ken
lucky, set aside the verdict of a jury
once unNS circumstances that to my
mind did him infinite credit" said Rep
resentative John S. Rhea, of that state,
according to the Washington Post.
1T seems that a poor woman, who
was on the verge of starvation and who
was the sole support of four little chill
dren, went into a neighbor's smoke
house and purloined piece of bacon.
The proof was positive and the jury
reluctantly returned verdict of guilty.
When the finding of the jury was read
Judge Grace, who at that time pre-
sided over the Fourteenth judicial dis
trict, rising to his feet, said in the most
emphatic tones:
1.-The court orders that the verdict
in this case be set aside, and 1 want to
declare here that in all cases where an
unfortunate woman is on trial for steal
ing food, taken to keep her offspring
from starving, it will require 13 men to
convict her of the crime in this court.
The defendant is discharged from Gus
tody.'
"The announcement was greeted
with applause from the spectators, and
the general sentiment was that Judge
Grace had acted not only as befitted
a chivalrous man, but that his ruling
was right. Theft to keep innocent ba-
bies from perishing of hunger can
scarcely be called crime"

From Sheep Camp.

Geo. L.Moon writes back from Sheep
Camp on the Chilcoot trail in Alaska,
under date of March 22d, that he and
his party are progressing finely on
their way to the gold fields of the
Klondike. They have reached Sheep
Camp with years supplies that they
have hauled to the summit, and after
reaching Lake Bennett will build d
boat and float down to Dawson City.
He says it is quite easy to reach the
summit now while the snow is solid,
and freight is being laid down at Sheep
Camp for 6 cents pound. All kind
of animals are used as beasts of bur-
den to carry freight across the pass
horses, COWS, mules, donkeys, goats
and dogs-are made to carry loads
over the pass.
The Canadian customs officials are
located at the summit. and the du-
ties imposed range from $40 to $50 on
each outfit taken in. according to the
amount of goods and the quality.
At present there is great rush
across the trail. and everybody is in a
hurry to get ahead Of everybody else.
Mr.. Moon says the cold last winter
was by no means severe, the tempera-
ture being only 5 degrees below zero.

sary.


Last evening the ladies of Fern
Lodge, Degree of Honor, entertained
the Workmen and their families at
Fraternity hall, the occasion being the
celebration of the fourth anniversary
of the institution of the lodge, which
is one of the most popular orders in
the city. The hall was comfortably
filled, and the program rendered was
both entertaining and instructive.
The exercises began with a welcome
elee by the Werlein elee club, follow
ed by an address by Mrs. NJ. E. Briggs,
chief of honor for the jurisdiction of
Oregon. In her remarks. Mrs. Briggs
gave brief outline of Fern lodge from
its organization to the present, then
dwelt at some length upon the gen.
eral features OF the order and what it
is doing in the jurisdiction. The next
number was a vocal trio by Messrs.
Suipes, Frank and Barrett, followed
with duet by Mrs. Stephens and MI g.
Varney. Then Master Fred Waud
gave comical recitation that created
much laughter. The program con-
cluded with vocal trio by Mrs Var
ney, Mrs. Groat and Mrs. Sampson.
J. Il. Zane. editor of the Oregon Re-
porter, the official organ of the state,
being present. made a few pleasing re-
marks, after which lunch of sand
wiches, cake and coffee were served,
and the entertainment closed with a
social dance.

MADRID, April 7.-12:35 P. M.-After

GUS announcement, there was much
excitement and oellicose talk in the
city. The cafes were crowded with
people, all eagerly discussing the situ-
alton, and generally approving tie
attitude of the cabinet. The new.-
papers today are very violent in their
utterances against the United States.
