Williams was tried before Justice
Frank Kennedy. HE is a moocher and
chair-sleeper," the officer continued,
whereby the court was given to un-
derstand that not only does Williams
seek to acquire free drinks, but that
he spends his nights sleeping in saloon
chairs instead of a bed.
Constable Lynch testified to the same
effect
There's no excuse for a man not
working now" put in Officer Stebbins.
Every man can have work who wants
it, There was a. man in town to-day

F. Gill testified that he had seen
Williams sleeping in chairs and mooch-
ing. He came in one night and told
me he had just walked from Butte
and needed drink said the witness.
Williams declined to cross-examine
the witnesses. "Vond you pass me dis
time, yudge?" he begged. "I'll nod
bodder de saloons no more" but the
court declined to pass him. Sixty days

ANACONDA NEWS.
MOOCHERS ARE At WORK
But the Authorities Are Dealing
Harshly With Them.
THEY FIND NO SYMPATHY
Two Sentenced to Sixty Days Each in
Jail-How a Moochsr Works.
Rings In for Free DRINKS
Frequently.
THEY FIND NO SYMPATHY

When the frost is on the punkin' and
the icicle on the caves the hobo's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of mooching.
So it is that in the last week or two
mooching has become all too frequent
in Anaconda There are several ways
of dealing with moochers One is to
give them quick run and a drop kick
rs the threshold is reached. The effect,
however, is not lasting. Another is ITO
turn the hose on them This is more
effectual The best means of breaking
UP the habit in any community Is to
put all the moochers in Jail or to run
them out of town. The peace authori-
ties are at work under the latter sys-
TEN.
Mooching is a word not found in the
dictionary. The verb, to mooch, never
theless is well known in the language
of the police, acquired from the hoboes.
It means as translated into perhaps
better known language to panhandle.
Translated into still other dialects it
means to sponge, to bum, to ring in,
and, in plain English, to acquire a
drink at the expense of another with
cut receiving formal invitation so
to do.
There are moochers of all stages of
responsibility. The high class moocher
does his work artistically and with such
skill that the victim finds himself pay
ing for the drink before he really I'M
derstands what lis going on. The re-
spectacle moochers cause little trouble
and do not injure the business of the
saloon where he plies his vocation.
The low down moocher is the one who
earns and deserves the kicks and cuffs
Jack Sullivan, who was tried yesterday
before Justice of the Peace Devine is
fair sample of the low down moocher
lie is a man past middle age whose
right hand has been amputated. On the
plea of being cripple and infirm he
prazenly begs for drinks. Like all
moochers, he has two or three saloons
on his route, at each of which he
spends several hours a day. When
man comes in who looks like ready
money as he would express it, Sulli-
van sides up to him in front of the
bar and insinuatingly asks, Am l in ~
II the man is hard-hearted and tells
him he is not, Sullivan, relying upon
his crippled condition as his defense,
assails the man with foul and abusive
language.
Sullivan and another moocher, John
Williams were arrested yesterday for
vagrancy, the statutes not having de-
fined mooching as an offense. Will

SECURING YOUR SCALP.
Will Remove the Loose Dandruff Scales
But 1t Won't Cure Dandruff

If your hair is brittle and thinning, you
have dandruff. The merely securing of
the scalp of the loose scales won't cure
dandfbff; because dandruff is nothing but
scales of scalp being thrown up by a pes
tiferous little germ in burrowing its way
to the root of the hair where 1t saps the
vitality causing falling hair and in time
badness. Now you can't stop dandruff
nor falling hair nor prevent badness un-
less you destroy that germ; and the only
preparation that can do it is the new
scientific discovery, Newbro's Herpicide,
In fact no other hair preparation claims
to kill the dandruff germ-all of them will
clean the scalp; soap and water will do
that but only Newbro's Herpicide gets
at the root of the trouble and kills the
dandruff germ.

After months of patient suffering, Mrs.
Jessie L. Lesll died at her home in Port
land, last Friday, of peritohitis. Sun.
day the funeral took place from the resi-
dence, 464 east Ash street.
Mrs. Jessie L. Lesh was born ia Co,
lumbus. Miss, December 8, 1864. Four
years later she came with her parents to
Oregon, and lived in Corvallis until her
marriage to W. H. Lesh, which occurred
in Minneapolis, Mimi, on October 6,
1886. Mr.. and Mrs. Lesh moved to Port
land in 1890, and that has since their
home. Mrs. Lesh was singer of abil-
ity, a graduate with high honors from
the Corvallis agricultural college, and
has many friends who will sincerely
mourn her death.
Those who knew her have, by their
thoughtfulness and loving concern, soft
ened some of the dreariness os her four
months of bedridden suffering, and have
gwen abundant proof of the endearing
worth of the deceased. Maryelously
patient in her long illness, always a
oyal friend. sympathetic and generous to
any in diatress, her memory will be
cherished in the minds of many while
life lasts. Mrs. Lesh leaves, besides her
husband, two brothers and two sisters,

A Scrap of Hiseory.

Now and then transpires an occur
renee that brings to the mind of the old
Corvallisite a recollection of those days
in the past, when the feeting boom
that always attends the birth of city or
country, dawned ON the Willamette val
ley and this part OF Oregon; when there
was rush of settlers and tide of pros
perity that worked wonders both good
and bad in its final results.
A few days ago the dispatches were re.
ceived announcing the death of John I.
Blair in the East. To those who have
entered the community during the past
eight or ten years, this was but a mere
bit of news, but to the old inhabitant it
was far more than this. John Blair was
the rich man Of the East, whose wealth
transformed the old Oregon Pacific rail-
road from a dream to reality. Col.
Hogg. who owned the theories, charts,
maps, etc., necessary to build the rail-
road, but not the money to accom-
plish such purpose, visited New York
city and laid his plans, propositions and
figures before the Wall street million
aire. Blair believed he had ran upon a
happy opportunity to increase his fer
tune and SO invested many millions in
the enterprise. While John Blair re-
ceived but pittance in return for the
money invested, to him is due the credit
of the building of the Oregon Pacific
railroad, aud the latter has been great
benefit to the Willamette valley and Ore
gon in general.

Daveuport's Pheasants.

Game Warden L. P. w. Quimby is in
receipt of letter from Homer Daven-
port, giving details in regard to his col
lection of pheasants, which he says is the
largest in the world. and attracts many
admirers and breeders of pheasants to
his home. Mr.. Davenport is making a
study of pheasants, and is breeding as
many as possible, ana hopes to be able to
let some of his surplus stock fly in Ore
gon. He is confident from what he has
learned by experience that many of the
finest species would do well in Oregon
with protection by law for few years.
He gives the names of long list of
the pheasants iu his aviaries, which
makes one wonder how he ever secured
so many varieties. He has over dozen
species which, he says were never seen
in America until his specimens arrived.
He says there is no reason why Oregon
should not have at least 10 different
varieties breeding in the wild state, and
is going to do all in his power to bring
this about. Mr.. Davenport has not for
gotten Oregon, nor the clay pit out of
which he was dug, and if he carries out
his plans his name will be inscribed on
the roll of fame alongside that of Judge
Denny.
