OREGON TRAIN ROBBERS
ELUDE THEIR PURSUERS
Several Suspects Are Under Surve1l-
lance, but the Leader Is Believed
to Have ESCAPED

EUGENE, Or. Oct. 25.-There are NJ
arrests yet of the robbers who held up
the Southern Pacific Express train near
Walkers station on Wednesday morning.
The officers are working up evidence and
hope to have the men behind the bars in
a short time. Yesterday they were
strongly of the opinion that only one me n
was implicated in the affair, but now they
are almost certain that there were az
least two.
Several suspects are under surveillance.
but it seems that the one who is believed
to be the leader of the gang has eludei
the pursuers. The general opinion pre-
walls that both of the robbers are in this
city and that there is no possibility ot
their making their escape.

BOOM IN PANAMA HATS.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Those who
bought Panama straw hats last year
We're lucky, for they are practically out
of the market today. The few that are
to be had are held by dealers at $35 and
this price is not likely to decrease.
The South American makers are abb
sOutely unable to meet the demand, u
said a salesman in the largest hat store
on Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon,
and for two months they have sudden
ly become the fashion all over the
world. They are as much in demand
abroad as they are here, and the scar
city is the same there. This sudden de-
mand was too much for the makers,
who had laid up no reserve stock. Now
our prices are $35 for hat that cost
only three-ffths of that amount last
year, and they are to be had only in
certain sizes. Others could not be
bought here at any price We have no
idea when the new supply will come in.
The demand at those prices is strong
enough to sell as many as we could get
hold of

be made to bear a large share, at least
of its heavy burden.

Kaiser William and His Wife Join the

BERLIN, June 9.-EmperOr William

and the court chaplains have received
a sharp rap over the knuckles from the
Kaiser for endeavOring to cheek the
spread of the cult among the members
OF the court, and especially among the
encourage of their majesties in ODE
dlence to the directions of the Lutheran
synod, which is at odds with the mon
arch about the matter.
William has inherited all the tenden-
cies toward religious mysticism of his
grand-uncle, King Frederick William
", and which were in a measure shar-
ed by old Emperor William-a mysti-
cism which leads him to believe that ne
is in closer communion with Providence
than the remainder of mankind and
that everything he does is accomplish
ed with the sanction and direct ap-
prevail of the Creator.
The Empress, too, is exceedingly pious
and an evangelist, and is entirely res
ponsible for the extraordinary reli-
glous revival that has found it's ex-
preston in the building of a pheno-
menal number of churches and In the
making of piety fashionable.

Wrestling Match a Draw.

Whether Jack Curran is the superior
OF Louis Cannon as a wrestler or vice
versa, is still a question. They met on
the mat at the saucer track last night
in the final match of series of three,
and the result was draw. Each man
secured a fall at his favorita style of
wrestling and. though Cannon secured
the quicker fall by good margin, he
struggled with Curran in the final bout
for 30 minutes, and was unable to gain
victory. 1t had been agreed that if
at the end of 20 minutes neither man
had secured fall the match was to be
declared a draw and the decision of
the referee was rendered accordingly.
The match was al mixed style and the
men tossed coin for the choice of the
first fall. Cannon won and chose catch
as-catch-can. He secured his fall in Is
minutes and q seconds. His weight and
strength told on Curran, who, though
he displayed considerable science, was
no match for his opponent at Cannon's
favorite style.
