time eleven hours. Train No. 2 leaving
Portland at 8 :15 q. M, beginning on the
date named. will be known as the

How to Stop Paying Rent BY Building House
to Live In.
II you own u city lot you can borrow
money at q low rate Of interest to build
home. The plan is new in this country
but almost universal in Europe, and is
known as the advertisement Loan"
By this plan your debt is gradually paid
off and the home is soon paid for at about
tie same rate monthly as your rent now
comes to and at no time is large sum to
be met. II your lot is worth 5000 and
the house you build $500, or 81 900 in all
you can borrow $500 at 7 per cent, or $35
per year. You can pay the whole amount
at any time after one year, but If six
years should run the rental would be less
than $40 per month and at the end
you would own your own home. Ample
capital is ready to be invested in this city
by the Equitable Saving & Loan Assn,
for home building purposes. Apply for

Perhaps shorter and better descrip.
ton Of the attraction which will open
the new Larson Theater Monday. June
IL, could not be given than quotation
from the st. Paul Dispatch Of October
81, 1898. It said: 1.-THE Evil Eye is
something like circus with three rings.
There is so much going on all the time
that it requires two very good eyes to
keep up with the game. In plain but
lucid phrase the Evil Eye is a great big
attractive show, easily the newest and
best that has ever been brought here.

stand. As to dates, time and distance
she was somewhat indefinite in her state
ments, but in other respects she made a
good witness and her testimony resulted
in the arrest the next morning OF Annie
Smith and Johnny Cox. The former is
a small woman with puffy face common
to those who indulge in opium, and she
whiled away the time previous to the ex-
animation in smoking a cigarette. Cox
| is a neatly dressed man but his every &C.
ton is that Of the self-contained criminal
who is watching the points with view
to gaining an advantage, and his cat-like
movements make one think that he
could use cold steel without any COM
FUNCTIONS of conscience.
Both pleaded mot guilty" to the
charge and then Mrs. Brackenbury was
called to the witness chair She said
that on the night Of the robbery she Twas
at the Smith house with Dingle and the
latter said that he had man on the
string whom he expected to touch off for
$3.50. She heard Dingle, Cox and Annie
Smith talking over the matter and Dingle
said he was ready to do 1t if it was safe.
She was in the house and concealed
when Stevens and Miss Sylvester came
in and afterwards left with Dingle by the
front door. They sat under tree and
talked over the robbery and then Dingle
took her to an adjoining yard where he
said she could see the performance. She
saw Dingle with Stevens and after the
robbery she went around and joined
Dingle and they walked north on Front
street and then came around to the
rear of Dickey Moore's and from there
Dingle sent her to the Smith house 10
get Johnny Cox's gun. Johnny didn't
give it to her but followed her to where
Dingle was and they talked together.
Afterward they went to the Smith house
where there was further talk and then
something which she supposed was
money, passed from Dinsle to Cox. A.
forwards, in company OF Dingle, she
walked to the old town where they
stayed all night. Dingle gave her $40
piece and afterward got it from her to
pay for breakfast, bringing back to
her $15.05. Dingle gave the gun to her
with the remark that it wouldn't do to
be found on him. She took the after
noon train for Spokane and Dingle, as
she afterward learned, walked fifteen
miles to Toppenish and later on joined
her in Spokane.
She said that at the Smith house she
was known as Babe" At Spok ane
Dinge again took possession of the gun
which he afterwards told her he had
soaked" Their arrest soon followed.
Stevens and Miss Sylvester we're also on
the stand and gave testimony that did
not vary much from that given at the
| first examination and which conceded on
the main points with the evidence OF
Mrs. Brackenbury. Justice Taggard
bound Dingle over in the sum of $1,000
and Cox and Annie Smith in the sum
of $500 each. The three are now i'll the
county Jail.
