GUS RAHKE'S GAME RAIDED.
He Was Running Two Poker Tables
at Spencer House.

Gus" Rahke was most astonished man
yesterday afternoon when Captain Kruger.
with Sergeant Giblin and Patrolmen Leet
and Sandman. walked into his room at the
Sherman House and interrupted a poker
game. With Rahke were seven other men.
Captain Kruger. with his squad went into
the hotel office and were upstairs before the
day clerk knew of their presence. They were
pushed aside by a colored porter carrying
quart bottle of beer The porter did not
know against whom he was brushing until
he was stopped by the police. He then
looked up and disgust was spread over his
face. He grabbed the beer from the tray
and said, oh gee, | guess it's all off,
Kruger did not resort to the formaity of
knocking on the door, but opened il and
walked in. He and Gblin stepped briskly
into the center of the room, while Leet and
Sandman remained near the door. When
Rahke looked up he almost lost his breath
When he recovered himself he smiled at
Captain Kruger and said: How in - did
you know we were here?'
Kruger told Rahke that he had been
aware of the game for a week, but want
ed TO catch him right" well. you sue
ceeded all right" said the amiabe Gus.
The seven players did not rise from their
places at the two poker tables until told to
do so by Captain Kruger. They cashed in
their piles of chips and walked to one side
of the room, while Leet and Sandman be-
gan raking in the cards and chips. There
was such a pile that it was necessary to
take a pillow slip from one of the beds.
They went into the next room with Gus
Rahke. Lying on a bed in this room was
an elderly man who awoke when they at
tempted TO take the pillow from beneath
his head. The man arose and sat on the
side of the bed and asked. What the devil
do you want with me?' He was told 10 re-
main quiet. as all that was wanted was a
pillow slip to hold the chips and cards. The
amount of material taken filled the pillow
slip. Two tables were also taken TO the po-
lice station
When the gamblers were taken into the
turkeys Office they gave the following
names: Henry Ball, Harry Brown. George
Jefferies. Fletcher Wilson. j. c. Franklin.
Frank Morris and Frank Fox. Nearly all
of them said they lived out of town.
After Rahke was slated for keeping a
gambling house he turned and talked to
Captain Kruger. He took his arrest in a
gOod-natured way and said; when YOU
entered that room and | saw you could
not get my breath for fully five minutes. /
had not the slightest idea that you knew
where | was. Now that you caught me
right there is no need OF complaining"
Rahke gave bond for himself and the

CLEAN, COLD MILK.
How Ii May BE Kept sweet for Fiji
teen to Twenty Days.

"A New York dairy" said Prof. II. E.
Van Norman, daryman of the agricultural
experiment station at Purdue University,
"a New Jersey dairy and Illinois dairy
each sent milk to the Worlds Exposition
al Paris in 1900 which was sweet fifteen to
twenty-one days after it was drawn from
the COW. How are these things possible?
BY extreme care in excluding dirt of every
kind with its load of bacteria, then keeping
the milk so cole that the bacteria which DO
get in in spite of the care cannot grow
rapidly.
Milk sours because in the process of
growth and multiplication of the bacteria
the milk sugar is changed to Tactic acid.
When there is enough acid present to be
apparent to the taste the milk is said TO
be sour. Bacteria, like corn or any higher
form of plants, require food, moisture and
sufficient heat in order to grow and multi
ply. Milk has the necessary moisture, is
perfect food and is usually at the right
temperature for rapid growth of bacteria.
Since the keeping quality OF milk bears
direct relation to the bacteria which gain
access 1t Is important TO prevent their get
ting into the milk. The udder and ada
cent parts of the body which are much
shaken during milking is one of the chief
sources of Infection, while the dust of the
stable, the hands and clothes of the mixer,
together with the pals and cans used. are
periments show that: Milking in a stable
where the circulation of air carry the
dust out wiping the udder with damp
cloth, and scalding utensils with live steam
or boiling water, will not only reduce the
bacterial content of the milk, but increases

opening to milk into, reduced the number
of germs falling into the pail one-fourth as
compared with a common pail, and the
milk kept sweet twenty hours longer I'M
mediate cooling after milking is next in
importance. Milk allowed to stand two
hours without cooling contained twenty
three times many germs when milk
ing was finished. while that which was
cooled TO ffty-four degrees only had four
times as many at the end of two hours
This emphasizes the Importance of quick
and thorough cooling.
Milk when first drawn has a peculiar

ticeable, which if not driven off by aera-
ton exposure to the air. frequently gives
the milk an unpleasant taste even before
il becomes sour. Aeration may be accom-
plished by stirring by pouring from one
vessel 10 another. The can of milk may be
set in a tub of water to cool. The cooling
and aeration may be better and quicker
done by running the milk over a combined
cooler and aerator. such as the Star, Cham
pion Perfection or other similar apparatus
having provision for running cold water
through it. Finally, cleaner cows. cleaner
mixers, scalded utensils, quick and thor

the keeping quality of market milk. If
properly done one delivery a day will be
all that is necessary

NOTED OREGONIAN DEAD
SYLVESTER PENNOYER, FORMER
GOVERNOR OF THE STATE.
once Gained NotOriety by Telling
President Cleveland 10 Attend to
His Own Business.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 30-Sylvester
Pennoyer, Governor of Oregon from 1886
to 1894. died suddenly this afternoon at
his home in this city from heart trouble.
He had been in poor health for the past
year. though he was able to be on the
street. and spent great part of his time
on his farm, a few miles from this city.
About o'clock this afternoon Mrs. Pen
noyer. who had been down town. returned
home and, going to the library. saw the
Governor lying on the floor with a pillow
under his head. She asked him if he want
ed the evening paper, and. receiving no
reply. took hold of his hand. She tried to
arouse him. but in an instant she dis
covered that he was dead.
Governor Pennoyer was born in Temp
kins county, New York, July g. 1881. and
was in his seventy-frst year He was grad
uated from Harvard University in 1854.
and the next year went TO Oregon by way
of the Isthmus of Panama. He taught
school for some time, and about the year
1862 he engaged in the lumber business.
in which he continued until his death.
While he was somewhat prominent in the
State a political worker, he never fig
ured in politics prominently until his nomi-
nation for Governor in 1856 by the Demo-
Gratis. His nomination was brought about
chiefly by his bold stand against Chinese
immigration. He was elected by 1900 ma
jority, although the remainder of the Re
publican ticket received nearly 10000 ma
| jority. He was reelected in 1890 by an
increased majority
In 1896 ne was elected mayor of Portland.
He was brought prominently before the
country in 1891 on account of his refusal to
meet President Harrison the state line
when the latter was on visit to the Pa
cihc coast He was again much talked
about in 1893. when he told President Cleve-
! land 10 attend TO his own business" The
telegraph correspondence between Secre-
tary OF State w. G. Gresham and the Gov
ernor which brought forth the latter's curt
reply is as follows;
Washington May g. 1893.
| Gov Sylvester Pennoyer, Salem. Ore.
Apparently reliable reports indicate dan
| ger of violence to Chinese when the eX-
| clusion act takes effect, and the President
| earnestly hopes you will employ all lawful
means for their protection in Oregon.

FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Martin
ioue, May so, p. m.-Mont Pelee has been
very quiet to-day The United States
cruiser Cincinnati has left here for Cas-
tries ST. Lucia. George KEENAN, and his
party are doing good work at the north end
of the island and all are safe and well.
Prof. Angelo Heilprin, president of the
Philadelphia Geographical Society who is
here under the auspices of the National
Geographical Society, is now probably con-
Quoting his Investigations among the north
east craterS.
Last night Admiral Servan invited Prof.
Robert T. HILL the United States govern
ment geologist, on board the French cruiser
Tage, Admiral Servants flagship, and had
an interview with him upon his recent ex-
petition to Mont Pelee. United States Con-
sui Ayme acted as interpreter at the inter-
view, which lasted three hours. Admiral
Servan was deeply interested in what Prof.
Hill had to say, as he has personal theories
concerning the recent eruptions. The adj
miral furnished Professor Hill with many
observations made by the French naval
officers under him, and highly compli-
mented Professor Hill and the National
Geograp hical Society upon their eXplora-
tions.
The commander of the French cruiser
D'Assas was presented to Admiral Servan
in the course of the latter's interview with
Professor Hill. The commander of the
D'Assas had just returned from a tour of
inspection, and reported that at 10 o'clock
last night he saw incandescent matter
slowly flowing over the rim of the crater
at the summit. This report has not yet
been confirmed.
Admiral Servan accepted Professor Hills
present theoretic attitude on the subject of
the eruption and praised his caution in not
arriving at a hypothesis until he had
studied the data he has collected. Prof.
Hill told the admiral that his study of data
had been finished on the spot. He said Mont
| Pelee might erupt for year more, but that
| the area of devastation would remain I'M
