MAKE dcoD THEIR ESCAPE.
Corvallis Safe Crackers Still at Large
Three Hundred Dollars In
Rewards Offered.

No further trace of the Corvallis
safe crackers has been found and it is
probable that they have made good
their escape. The local authorities as
we'll as secret service men of the post
Office department have been very busy
running down clues but thus far with
out success.
! Meanwhile G. w. Dougherty & Co.,
| of which the senior member, Mr..
| Dougherty, is post master at Corvallis.
has offered reward of 500 for the
| arrest and conviction of the burglars.
In addition to this there is standing
reward of $500 offered by the govern
ment for the apprehension of any per-
sonewho cracks safe in postoffice,
making $500 IN rewards outstanding.
An investigation of the burglary,
which occurred about . o'clock last
Thursday morning, shows that the
store was entered by the front door
which was sprung open. The room
occupied by the post Office and which
contained the safe, is in the rear of the
building. The safe, an ordinary fire
proof affair, was blown open with
black powder and the strong box
carried away. The cash register of
the store was also broken open and
rifled but it contained nothing. The
conclusion of the explosion broke the
front windows 40 feet away, but did
not injure the window just back of
the safe.
A hobo boy who was sleeping in ar
ice house adjoining the building gave
the alarm several hours after the safe
was cracked. According to his story
got up to investigate. He saw two
men lun down the street and into the
: building. They turned on the ga.
light and cody and deliberately ran
: sacked the safe putting the contents
in a sack. They then left, following
: the road toward Corvallis S, alton.
The authorities were notified earl,
Thursday morning und were soon OF
burglars to the Corvallis bri,- e, unde
which the strong box was Iolafe,, rifle,
of everything but some papers.
e Mr.. Dougherty who was enJoylui
his first outing i'll six wears s., tn
r mountains beyond Ross tioie, ~ .,
(. notified and returned as speedily d
- possible. He stated to Western New
Il reporter that the thieves got away wit
something over 500. The booty cor
sisted of 500 in postal funds, $50 G
I, which was nickels and cent pieces, an
$40O in notes and 500 dollars in cas-
belonging to the firm.
= It is believed that the job was don
by professionals. The nearest ar
proach'to clue is found in the state
le ment of Conductor Bradley who say
IS that on Wednesday evening two strang
ers boarded the train at Victor an
n got off at Corvallis station and wei
is walking toward the village when h
last saw them. The next rnornin
" these same men again boarded tt
70 train at Corvallis station. They ha
tickets to Missoula but dropped off ;
Victor. The description of these tw
:. men given by the conductor tallis
closely with that given by the boy WI
? claims to have been an eye witness I
the affair.

USEFUL WORK FOR WOMEN.
How q Room May Be AttractiVeiy
Furnished with Rugs nnd Cur
taiHs at Small Expense.

In Woman's Home Companion for
September Ada c. Sweet has an UNI
usually able and attractive article
which every woman interested in home
work will read with pleasure
81 saw an unusually attractive room
of girl last summer. The rug she had
made herself with strips Of blue and
white cotton, knitting them, like yarn,
on large wooden needles. The WIN
dow curtains had been a pair of rather
coarse but snoW-white linen sheets
old homespun linen. These cut in two
she had hemstitched all around, to
make two curtains for each window.
Then she had embroidered them in dull
blue and white, just sprig here and
there inside the hens. The bedcOver
was all white. It had been made from
a wide piece of some thick, cotton ma
terial, and was edged with an mbrOl-
dered cambria ruffie. The covers for
bureau and washstand were made in
the same way, of the same material.
The little bookcase in this room had
a brilliant curtain which fairly shOne
and flashed with color. It's owner had
bought a remnant of satin and loaded
it with embroidery in most fanciful
patterns and colors. I did not wonder
at the pride with which its young mis-
tress showed this room.
''When our girls begin to appreciate
woman's handiwork at its true value
they viii see the worthlessness Of
much of the gimcracl1 furniture which
numbers many houses. The pine boxes
with veneered fronts which pass for
wardrobes and bureau; the tawdry,
unfinished, assertive, weakened Ia
bles and chairs, the sover-stuffeG,' fat
cushioned sofas with colorings like
unto an Indians blanket, and all the
endless bric-a-brac and cheap imped
imenta of the day, will not bear the eX-
animation Of intelligent, instructed
eyes. The girl who works, under ar

household stuffs will demand tables
and chairs of good material, we'll

of a court were transacted with dis
patch. Admiral Schley opened the
first slirmish by challenging Admiral
Howison's eligibility as a member of
the court, and presented three wit
nesses in support of his challenge.
They gave very positive testimony as
to expressions they had heard Admir-
al Howison make favorable to Adj
miral Sampson and unfavorable to Ad-
miral schley.
Admiral Howison made reply to
the challenge and it was then submit
ted to the court, which, under the cir
cumstances, was narrowed to Admiral
Dewey and Rear Admiral Benham to
pass upon. After hardly more than Is
minutes spent in retirement to the
consultation room of the court, Adj
miral Dewey briefly announced that
the court sustained the challenge and
that Admiral Howison would be eA-
cused from further attendance.
Washington, Sept. IA. Admiral
Dewey informed Admiral Schley by
telephone Friday that the court of IN
quiry will resume its sessions at IL
O'clock on Monday morning next. The
third member Of the court, who will
fill the place vacated by Admira | Howl
son has been selected. Rear Adj
miral Francis NJ. Ramsey was the
one selected to take Howison's place
on the court of inquiry. Admiral
Ramsey was retired in April, 1897,
and his home is at Washington.

HOW TO DRESS THE HAND.
Favor with Followers Of
the Fashions.

White gloves have been in regular
fashionable standing for twelve years
now, and by all signs and omens for
reading the future they are good for
another dozen years of modish pat
ronage, says fashion journal. Very
heavy cream-white dogskin gloves are
the choicest dress for the hands in
the morning. These boast one but
ton, not of the cheap patent clasp va
riety, and because they are of the
shape and color and easily wrinkled
fit of those worn by the smart Jehus
who adorn the boxes of handsome pri-
vate carriages they pass under the
very descriptive title of coachman's
gloves.
There is a gun metal gray glace
glove, stitched in white or silk of the
same shade as the kid, and fastened
with large silver buttons, that strug-
giles with some success for recogni-
ton among the well-gowned shoppers
who call them coaching gloves. In
reality, they are meant for wear on
the box seat of a trap, and because
every woman does some thing more or
less athletic these days, the morn
ing gloves are as loose as the skin on
a high-bred dogs back.
For afternoon and evening the
spring modes in gloves have novel
features. Pure white and very thin
suede, embroidered deliberately in
black or color, is of the novelties
novel. Embroidery is ~considered es-
pecially appropriate on the long
gloves. The neeGlework begins at the
back of the hand, goes wreathing
gracefully around the arm and flow
ers out in a petal-shaped edging at
the end, somewhere in the region of
the shoulder. Some brave spirits are
exploiting with their black evening
gowns long black suede gloves bril-
liantly embroidered in silver, into the
mesh of which an occasional rhine
stone is woven.
With black gowns it is not at all
out of the way to wear gauts de suede
in gun metal color, enlivened by q
dazzling row of rhinestone buttons
set in gun metal frames and rum
ming from the wrist nearly to the
shoulder. White gloves of this same
type have been seen with little round
bullet turquoise buttons, and on the
arm a bracelet or two are worn just
to show the glitter of the jewels
against the dusky kid surface.
With shepherdess straws and posey
muslins long black or white embroid-
cred mitten gloves will be worn when
summer luncheons, summer morning
dances, etc.. begin. These mittens are
woven, in reality of a very stout
black silk thread, and then, in fam
ciful designs, wreaths and points
and circlets of black lace are judici-
ously applied. The top of the mitten
is made fast, by two straps of black
satin ribbon, to the shoulder, and q
half thumb of net holds everything
firm about the hand. In our midsum-
mer, when gloves in the evening seem
intolerab1y hot, and yet, with dancing
gowns of Swiss or organdy, every
! woman wishes for some covering for
her arms, these mittens are not only
useful, burt highly ornamental, and
display white hand and brilliant
rings to the greatest advantage.
