Have to Marry Over

Portland, Ore, Nov. 19.-It was to-
day discovered that all the marriage
licenses Issued in Mutnomah county
Holmes, last Thursday. are illegal and
weddings based thereon are void. Eight
couples are affected by it. aud notices
will be sent to each accordingly. Alter
the death OF the county clerk business
OF the office was carried on by the depu-
ties in the name of the county iudpe
But this morning somebody looked up
the statute and found that no officer
but the county clerk is empowered to
issue marriage licenses and nue. pro
tune order after new clerk shall have
been appointed will not suffice to make
valid the marriage licenses issued while
the office OF county clerk was vacant. It
has been daily expected that new clerk
would be appointed by the county com
missoners' court, but there is a good
deal OF political pulling and hauling and
no selection has yet been made.

YOUTHFUL BRIGANDS.
Locked Two Citizens in a Standpipe
and Demanded Ransom


Seattle, Nov. 18.-Following closely
the example OF the Bulgarian brigands
who abducted Miss Emma Stone, three
North Seattle small boys yesterday held
two citizens in durance vile for several
hours because they refused to pay
ransom to obtain their liberty. The
victims OF the unpleasant experience
were b. ID. Wells, editor of the Evening
Star, and Lyman E. Knapp, former gov
ernOr OF Alaska
The desire of these citizens to explore
the gloomy interior OF the new standpipe
now being erected on Queen Anne hill led
TO their capture and subsequent impris-
onment. Wells and Knapp entered the
structure through a steel door in it's
side. While they were engrossed in their
explorations they we're suddenly plunged
into darkness. A youthful voice from
the outer world commanded in imperiOus
tones that SO be paid at once as the
price OF their freedom. In vain did the
prisoners parley. Each overture was
met with derision and repetition of the
original demand for ransom.
After fully an hours parley Wells and
knapp grew nervous and desperate.
They searched their prison for some
means of escape. A circular bit of blue
sky seen at the top OF cylinder of steel
100 feet III height held out slight hope
OF freedom, and soon scattering drops
OF rain from the opening above foretold
the probability of an added discontinue
At last, after considerable explora-
ton of the bottom of the tank, Wells
found an old pick ak. Taking turns he
and his fellow prisoner made heroic on
slaughts on the steel door which stood
between them and freedom. Finally the
door began to show signs OF yielding.
Stripped of all surplus clothing and
bathed in perspiration the prisoners in
serted the pick into a small aperture
Their united efforts burst the hinges of
their cell door and they once more
breathed the air of freedom.
Three scurrying forms simultaneously
disappeared in the underbrush, and be-
fore the irate citizens could take the re-
yenge which had been threatened no
small boys were in sight.
Warrants for the young brigands are
out.

Send Seed To Philippines.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Considerable
time at the cabinet meeting today was
devoted to the consideration of the
agricultural conditions in the Philip
pines. From reports received at the
war department it is evident that the
vegetables there are running out" and
there is necessity for immediate distribu-
ton Of new seed. Secretary Root told
the cabinet that not enough rice, which
is the chief staple, was grown within the
islands to supply the demand for local
consumption. Secretary Wilson has de-
cided to send one of the departments
experts with full corps of assistants to
the islands to investigate the situation
Upon ascertaining the needs in respect
to seed the department will ship to the
islands such seed as may be required
The seed will be distributed gratis.

Game Law Not Valid,

Olympia, Nov. 14-Judge Lynn, in
the superior court of this county, today
declared the license section of the state
game law unconstitutional, and this de-

later the supreme court shall reverse the
lower court. The decision was made
in the case of the state against A. D..
Drury, charged with killing a deer with
out first having procured the necessary
hunters license from the county auditor.
The section referred to Disseminated in
favor OF persons under 16 years of age,
exempting such from taking out licenses
to hunt. The case will probably be ap-
Dpaled,

Get Rid of Water.

If the surface of the roadway is
properly formed and kept smooth, the
water wilt be shed into the side bitches
and do comparatively little harm, but
if it remains upon the surface it will
be absorbed and convert the road into
mud. If all ruts, depressions and mud
holes are not filled as soon as they ap-
pear, they will retain the water upon
the surface, to be removed only by
gradually soaking into the roadbed and
by slowly evaporating, and each pass
ing wheel or hOOf will help to destroy
the road. All inequalities of the sur
face, the depressiOns and the mud
holes are caused by water softening
the rauGbed. \ hard road cannot be
made out of soft mud, and no amount
Of labor and machinery will make an
earth road that will stay good unless
an adequate plan is adopted to get rid
of the water. Water Is hard to contine
and easy to let loose. 1t is always
seeking a chance to run down hill

Mexico Buying Much Wheat,

Mexico City, Nov. 17.-From all parts
of the western United States wheat is
being sent into Mexico in amounts never
before equalled. 1t is estimated by buy
ers and railroad men in this city that by
the end of December more than 1900
carloads will have been delivered into
the republic. And even this great
amount will not end the importation so
long as the duty is waived and there is
the slightest lack of corn. Both buyers
and transportation men believe that the
importation will continue until the term
of the removal of the tariff, as stated in
the presidents proclamation, expires.

DIED


Hoyt, with a playwright friend, was
once witnessing the production Of "a
play-nOt his oWn-SayS the New York
Clipper The leading man was well
known to be poor study" and this
night was on very unfamiliar terms
with his part. The voice of the prompt
or was continuously i'm evidence, though
this was overlooked, for the actor was
great favorite.
Just before the end of the act Hoyt
went out, but returned a moment later
just as the curtain went down on deaf
ening applause.
WHO are they calling forT' he asked
of his friend, who answered by naming
the leading man, whom, to spare his
feelings, we will call X.
