MAN STEALS HIS OWN GOODS
SaIooukeeper At IIwaco Plans to Keep
What Belongs to Him.

nwaco, Wash.-The sensation of
the season was sprung Friday, when
it was announced that some time dur
ing the previous night the stock OF
WHISTLES and case goods in William
Blacks saloon had disappeared. The
strange part of the disappearance was
the fact that Mr.. Black had taken
his own goods and had removed
them from Washington into Oregon
under cover of darkness.
William Black came to Ilwaco about
three years ago and with A. J. Knight
ly and w. B. Hayden, opened and be-
and operating a saloon, with Mr.
Black as the silent partner.
Later Knightly sold out to Black
and Black quit the railroad and TOOK
charge Of the saloon, letting Mr.. Hay
den out. AT the time it was thought
that Black had bought out Hayden's
interests. At any rate it seemed
that Mr. Black considered himself
full owner and proprietor Of the -
loon and business and he began TX
replenish his stock with large quaint
tise Of new goods until b had ono q
the beot OF business and lar1o0'
etocks stocks In the city.
Now it seems that Hayden came II
and claimed an interest In tho bust
ness as we'll - stock
Black secured q launch and arrfv
ing hers after dark, secured q Wagon
and transferred the bulk Of the stoel
| to the boat and took it to Astoria
landing there before daylight.

most genuine amusement out OF the
Restoration Hosts doings; certainly
they have been a thorn in the flesh
of Mr. Dowie and the vigor with
which he called them "stinkpots. ours
nasty things" and other unprintable
names oftentimes prompted them to
retort Now, Dowie, go and ask God
to forgive you for that" which Of
course only added to the "restorer's"
wrath. When he leaves Gotham next
week, it will be in disappointment,
not triumph.
J. Pierpont Morgan is one of the
delegates from New York to the an
nual convention Of the Protestant
Episcopal church, which will be held
in Pittsburg from next Tuesday until
the Friday following. One OF the
leading subjects to be discussed is
The Limitations Of Industrial Lib
erty." Under the head of this subject
the labor troubles OF New York and
other large cities are to be discussed

Society will lend it's graces to the
production Of "Parsifal," the great
operatic event OF the season and the
audience at the first performance will
be one OF the most pretentious that
New York has even seen. Not only
will Gothamites be out in full force,
but visitors from other parts OF the
country who will come to attend the
horse show will stay over for the pro-
duction. Herr kloeper, the eminent
basso who has achieved so much sue
cess in Berlin, London, and Munich,
will be another attraction OF the
opera.
In the agitation for the approval
of the $105, 100000 canal bill, it is
pointed out that New Orleans this
year. exported 100000 bushels Of
grain more than New York. That
city claims 32,0O0,000 bushels aginst
31.150.000 bushels in New York. A
properly constructed canal, would
destroy the railroad combination
against the state. Therefore, it be-
comes a question whether the state
will agree to an Improvement OF its
canals or submit to a decline Of its
commerce.
New York has a new greeting and,
it may be incidentally remarked,
Dowie is responsible for it. 1t is the
smart thing now to say Peace be
unto Thee though you may feel in
the scrappiest kind Of mood or be
talking to your better half. No other
greeting is permissible and 1t is
heard every where. Peace be unto

DEATH OF GILLIAN H. JETER.
High Tribute to His Sturdiness of
Character and His ManIiness,
A Brave Man has Gone
From Us.
BY HEY DENVER.

Mr.. Gillian H. Jeter, a we'll
known and popular man, died Of
paralysis at his home on Broad river
Thursday, April %. He received
tho stroke late Tuesday evening and
died in less than 48 hours. He was
about 76 years old. He is too we'll
known in the county for me to add
anything, except that 1 may say
something different. He was a man
Of robust health, strong physique,
indomitable energy and he practiced
untiring perseverance, personally
supervising his farms and other
business. He was a man with con-
victions and had the courage of those
convictions, and after taking his
stand was hard to move, but was not
without the qualities ofjudgment and
could be made to change his mind if
the change was reasonable. He was
plain and outspoken, but not harsh.
If he saw or thought anything slack
or wrong in the affairs ofgoyernment,
either the highest or the lowest, he
was not afraid to talk out, and be
had solid way Of talking which gave
him certain posi,iveness that was
peculiar to himself. While having
a firm, solid expression on his face,
seemingly that fun was out of his
nature, he could give joke, take
one and enjoy it too, and possessed
kind Of witticism that would be
hard to initiate, and these things
aided much in making him popular;
and especially so with the young men
who enjoyed sitting down and talk
ing with him. have enjoyed thai

ARMORY ASCITY HALL
CHATHAM ARTILLERY's QUARTERS
MAY BE USED.
APPLICATION MADE FOR II
WHILE THE NEW CITY HALL Is
BEING BUILT.

Confederate Veterans Lessees of
the Hall Considering the Matter.
Chathams Decline to Lease All OF
the BuiIdinR-In Event the ArmO-
ry is Not Secured Council May
Hold Its Meetings in County Com
missiOners' Rooms.
An effort is being made by the city
authorities to secure the Chatham Ar
tillery armOry as temporary quarters
for the city offices during the building
of the new city hall. Application
was made to the company at its last
meeting, and the application was re-
ferred to the Confederate Veterans
Association last night, lessee of a por-
ton of the building.
Lieut.. II. S. Dreese said that
he had been approached by one of the
city authorities who wished to know
whether it would be possible to secure
the building. He was told that the
Artillery had authority only over the
lower and top floor, the second floor
being leased to the veterans associa-
ton, but that the matter would be
taken up by the two organizations at
once.
The matter was referred to the Hall
Committee with power to act There
was some little discussion before it
was decided to refer the matter finally
to the committee, from which it was
plainly evident that the association ia
vors the plan. The matter will be
decided at the earliest practicable date
by the committee, as the city author
tiles are anxious to have the matter
settled so that other matters in con-
nection with the construction of the
city hall may be taken up.
The hall would be used for meet
ings of Council, twice every month,
and the city's representative assured
Lieut.. Dreese that these meetings
would not conflict with the meetings
of the veterans If this location is
not secured it is probable that an eff
fort will be made to secure the Coun-
ty Commissioners office. There are
other available places, and for this
reason the city authorities desire
an early answer so that arrangements
may be perfected as soon as possible.
The city will not, however. as first
proposed, be able to rent the first and
third stories of the building for Of
flee room. This fact may interfere
with the renting of the hall, or will,
at any rate, make the price to be
paid necessarily smaller, since it would
be more desirable to have the offices
and the place of Council meeting in
of the Chathams it was decided not
to rent the rooms, as it would in view
of certain circumstances be inadvisa-

GAVE FlREMEN A TEST RUN.
Apparatus Called Out to Determine
Speed and PrOmptness.

Chief Mcguire gave the members of
the fire department little exercise yes
terday afternoon about 4 o'clock and
for a few minutes the f1remen thought
there was something doing" or going
to be done, but there was not, as they
were summoned for the purpose of de-
termining just how the companies
transfer and answer regular alarms,
and the time they make.
AT this hour, entirely unknown to
the men. the chief pulled box No. 8,
at the corner of Bay and Whitaker
streets. Engine Company No. and
the chemical dashed up, making the
run in three minutes and five seconds,
closely followed by Chemical No. l. On
the second CAN Company No. had a
shade the best of No. A. by but few
seconds, both making good runs. NO.
l hose company got out on time and
No. apparatus was there with the
usual promptness. On the second alarm
No. transferred to No. house with
dispatch and speed.
Chief Mcguire was we'll pleased with
the showing the men made and COM
mended each company for it's prompt
ness. These test calls are made Oc-
casionally, and as the men never know
when they turn out what it is to, they
come up all primed and ready for serv-
ice.
