''The way TO stop runaway horse.
said Il well-known lawyer who saw the
finish OF the affair, ''is to run with the
horse a step or two and then throw
yourself on the nearest thill. Don't try
to head him. you are pretty certain
to get hurt if you do. Put your whole
weight on the thill and jump with the
horse. Grab a rein if you can reach it,

carry your weight very long. You are

Ennui is the great axle of life

And it is this pitiful plant that drives
the crowd on, that sends the women
down town to rant the dusty streets
simply because the hour was empty
and they could not fill 1t from their
own brains.
1t is the whip of boredom that forces
the men to nightly haunt the clubs,
the cardrooms, the glary Bohemian
places of rendeZvous-any ey-

draw happiness from the cultivation
of their own souls. Ennui is the great

spur, what donkeys prance and gallop
around the mighty coliseum; what
precious hours, like jewels, are cast to

Caught empty-handed in an idle hour
with only self as companion, the first
impulse is to get out of the house and
run away. to be up and on the go and
leave the leaden ghosts behind. When
there is no definite place or pastime in
view, the streets are the last resort
Look at the dozens of men loafing

they do it for? Because their brains

MORE HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Bert Lynch Relieved of His Purse by
Thugs.
Another highway robbery occurred
on our Streets Wednesday night,
this time on the principal business
street. and only a short time after
stores had been closed. The boldness
of the robbery indicates that there is
gang of thieves in town who are des-
perate, and if they are not cleaned out,
nobody will be safe travelling the
streets after dark.
After closing his fathers barber
shop about 9 o'clock Bert Lynch
walked down to the soda factory in
the East End, and not finding any
body there started to return. When
he reached the agricultural implement
shed of j. T. Peters & Co. on the south
side of Second street, two masked men,
one with a pistol in his hand, ordered
him to stop, and while one stood in
front of him with q gun the other step
ped behind him and went through his
pockets, taking out 81 20, all the mon
ey he had. They then ordered him to
move down the street as rapidly as he
could, and he obeyed orders. Mr..
Lynch saw is little of them that he
could not give description OF the
robbers that would lead to their de-
lection.

Hon W. A. Story, president of the
common council of Portland, was
elected mayor Tuesday evening, thus
breaking the deadlock that has been
on ever since the death of Mayor Ma
son.
A meeting of the council was held
Tuesday afternoon, attended by all the
councilmen, and an ADJOURNMENT was
taken to o'clock. At that hour the
"solid six" were all in their seats but
one of the "solid FIVE" Martin, under
stood the meeting was called for 7:30
and failed to put in an appearance. Mr..
Story readily saw his advantage, cal
led Councilman Baker to the chair,
and quietly disappeared, thus leaving
only nine councilmen present. This
being quorum and five being ma
jority, ballot for mayor was at once
taken. Five votes were counted for
w. A. Story and four for b. s. Rowe,
which gave the election to the former.
Then there were four very angry
councilmen, and they adjourned to go
in search of their truant confederate.
Mr.. Story was elected to the coun:
Gil of Portland last June, and upon the
organization of that body he was
chosen president. Since the death of
Mayor Mason he has been acting
mayor, and, his administration has
been generally approved.

ANOTHER BOLD ROBBERY.

Frank Murphy Relieved of His Purse by

Tuesday, near 10:30 p. m, Frank MUIR
phy, a blacksmith who works in the
o. R. &. N. shops, was going to his
room at Mrs. Burgers, in the East End i,
and just as he passed the club rooms a
fellow stepped up to him and said a
man had just been run oyer by train
aud had both legs cut off short dis
tance up the track. A train had just
passed, and Mr.. Murphy thought the
fellow was telling the truth, so he
fastened along, expecting to give d
poor sufferer relief, and when he
reached some box cars back of Pease
& Mays warehouse, he was confronted
by two masked men with big revolvers-
and told to throw up his hands. Being
caught unawares, there was no other
Alternative, and his hands vert up.
While the two men with guns made
him stand pat, the one who had in

purse that contained $42.90, also gold
ring worth six or seven dollars. They
took his watch, but returned it to him
with the remark that they did not
think it would be of any value to them.
After they had relieved him of his
valuables. they told Mr.. Murphy to
move back down the track the way he
came, and as they emphasized their
command with pistols, he obeyed.
Owing to the darkness Mr.. Murphy
was unable to recognize his assailants
Or to give any description of them
more than hat'they wore masks. 1t
is probable the robbery was done by
local talent, as Tuesday was pay day
on the o. r. & N, and it was generally
known that the employees of the COM
pany had received their pay for the |
past month. Knowing this the robbers |
probably were laying for any railroad
man that might be out after dark. |
The matter is being investigated by |
the authorities, though it is not likely |
the thieves will be intercepted, as
there is no means of gaining clew to |
their identity.
