A CURIOUS MISTAKE.
Still Born Child Mistaken for Laun-
dry PACKAGE.

dry Package.
Tacoma, Wash.-The newly born
child discovered in a laundry bundle
at a local laundry recently was the
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Waters
OF South N street, Tacoma. When
the marker" at the laundry opened
the bundle and the body of a well
formed child was found therein the
police were notified and took posses
sion of the tiny remains, which were
afterwards given over to the undertake
er for burial. The case proves to be
probably one of the most extraordinary
on record for while investigation
proves the child to have been still
born, the substitution of the remains
in the laundry package for a bundle of
soiled linen is without parallel in news
Taper records.
When the police visited the address
given on the bundle they found the
family of Michael Waters, a wood deal
er, and a regular practicing physician
in attendance on a case of still birth.
Inquiry reveals that the family was
preparing to bury the wrong bundle
when the investigating officers arrived
with their explanations, and had the
laundry man not reported the remarka-
BILE find probably the mistake in wrap
ping up the bundle would not yet have
been discovered.
The nurse had sent to the laundry
what she supposed was a bundle OF
soiled linen.

Trade Report.

Weather, crop reports and labor con-
ditions all show improvement and the
feeling has grown that damage from
the foreign sources has been overesti-
mated. Wholesale business generally
is still seasonably quiet, but already
an improvement in tone is noticeable
as the result of the better outlook ag-
riculturally. Railroad earnings are
good as a whole, though, as expected,
western floods have curtailed June
gross receipts somewhat. Wool is
steady, but business is light at the east,
while at the west new woods are NOV
ing quite freely.
Lumber shows a firm tone. Hard
ware is quiet. The jewelry trade is
dull. Groceries are active and reflect a
better demand. Refined sugar adj
vanced 10 cents per 100 pounds. COT
fee is firm.

Mcdowell McCook, U. S. A., retired,
suffered a third stroke of paralysis
recently and died at the home of his
daughter Mrs. Charles Craighead.
General McCook came from Washing
otn a few weeks ago and shortly af
forwards suffered a mild stroke of par

later with a second stroke, more Sc

fact it was believed that he would re-
cover. He appeared to be steadily i'm

Mrs. McCook, the widow; Mrs. Chaun-

OREGON NOTES.

Robert E. Pointer, a prosperous
rancher living three miles south of
Baker City, has mysteriously disap-
peared.
High water in the Columbia has de-
moralized the telegraph and telephone

J. G. Coggins, who is wanted by the
postoffice department on a charge of

While in an intoxicated condition,
Dan Beer of Silverton, Ore, walked
off the bluff at Oregon City and fell

That the man escaped with his life is
miraculous, for the bluff at the scene
of the mishap is almost precipitous
and is of a rocky formation.

WAY OF THE STOCK MARKET.
Pittsburg Syndicate Clears Up a For
ftfna


New York, June 16.-Although it is
generally conceded that the bears
have been responsible for many of the
declines in stocks during the last
month, and that they have made mill
ions of dollars in profits, there is a
radical difference of opinion in regard
If identity, and Wall street is
divided as to how far such people as
the Rockefellers have contributed to
the shaking down in prices. Some
said John w. Gates had a good deal
to do with the slump, others that
James Keene took a hand, but these
guesses are wide of the mark.
The highest authorities agree that
the Standard Oil people have been
aggressive in shaking out spectators,
but things have gone much further
than they had any idea. A group of
capitalists who have frequently been
referred to as the Pittsburg crowd,
with $10,000,000 to S15,000 600 of their
own money, has been the real force
that drove stocks down, and I hear
they have made fully $4,000 900 since
they began operations this spring.
They have the best banking and
brokerage connections, with facilities
for finding out, as far as it can be
done, what the fnanciers are doing
or are not doing. They have experts
in this country and Europe studying
every phase of business and conditions.

kets.
With all available resources at
their command, they are prepared to
plan campaign and act Immediately.

SHAMROCK III HAS ARRIVED
SAFE AND SOUND ON THIS SIDE
OF ATLANTIC.
Towed Over by the Steam Yacht Erin
Shamrock |. Also Came-156 Men
but Received No Damage-Hearty
Reception Given Off Sandy Hook.

New York, June 15.-Safe and
sound after a rough passage from
Gourock, Scotland, of 16 days and %
hours, Sir Thomas Lipton's latest chal-
lenger for the Americas cup, the
Shamrock H., is now lying at anchor
off Tompkinsville, S. /. She arrived
in company with the steam yacht Erin,
that had towed her most of the way
across the Atlantic, and by the Sham
rock l., towed by the British tug
Cruiser. The 1856 men which manned
the yachts and their conveys are all
well, and there were on accidents to
mar the passage.
Between Gourock and Fayal, Azores,
where the steamers stopped for coal,
Gains and squally weather were en-
cOuntered. The Erin and her tow be-
came separated from the Cruiser and
the Shamrock l. before reaching Fayal,
but they never lost sight of each other
after leaving there. On June - the
yachts were caught in a gale from the
southeast and while it blew very hard
and heavy sea was running, very lit
tie water was shipped and no damage
was done
The tug Charles e. Matthews, in
charge of H. II. Davies, met the yachts
at daylight, 20 miles east of Sandy
Hook lightship. Pilots were put on
board the Erin at sea and the Mat
thews towed Shamrock III. to Quaran.
tine, the Shamrock /. being towed by
the Cruiser
The yachts passed Sandy Hook
lightship soon after a. m. They
were saluted by every vessel that pass
ed them all the way to Quarantine
When they arrived there the crews
of the yachts gave three cheers for
each other as they stood lined up on
deck. Both yachts flew the pennant
of the Royal Ulster Yacht club.
The new challenger is by far more
handsome than either the Shamrock
|. or Shamrock H. She looks not I'M
like the Columbia, above the water
line and her beam seems greater than
either of those yachts. She tOws
easily, making very little broken wa
ter at the bow and leaving a clean
wake. Her captain, Robert Wringe
says she behaved splendidly under all
conditions of weather during the pas
sage across the Atlantic. She is rig
ged with a short bowsprit and
topmast over a stout lower mast
The Shamrock l. has the same rig
with the addition of a jigger mast aft
The latter steers with a tiller and
the former with a small wheel.

Story From Berlin.
The Belgrade correspondent of the
Lokal Anzeiger sends a number Of par
tlculars of the assassinations, which
were given him by Lieutenant Colonel
Mischitch, the actual leader of the con-
spiracy. The conspirators. he says,
were exclusively junior army officers
and included no generals among them.
King Alexander received several warn
ing letters, one appointing Whitsunday
for the tragedy. When that day passed
Queen Draga remarked to her maid
of honor:
"You see. these towards write and
write, but no one ventures to act"
During the evening before the as
sassinatiOn the conspiring officers as
sembled in cafes adjacent to the palace
and created an impression of loyalty
by frequently demanding that the mu-
sicians play a certain piece named af-
ter Queen Draga In the fight at the
Palace gates, according to Colonel Mis-
Glitch, 10 men were killed and 20
wounded.
When they discovered the king and
queen in their hiding place in the al
cove Colonel Mischitch demanded King
Alexander's abdication. The king re-
piled in loud voice:
81 am not King Milan. 1 will not
allow myself to be frightened by a few
officers. Do you understand that?"
Then the colonel demanded that the
king Danish Queen Draga. The mon
arch replied by embracing and kissing
his queen. Both were then shot.
Coming into the palace under a
cloud Of suspicion and disliked by the
people over which she was to rule, the
late Queen Draga had a life of tur-
moil from the day of her marriage.
1t is said that the queen physically as
saulted her liege lord on one occasion,
and on another his majesty is said
to have slapped his consorts face.
Only a few days ago a report came
from Belgrade that the new French
cook had committed suicide because
he had been detected in an attempt
to poison the queen. It was indeed a
strenuous life that royalty led in the
palace at the Servian capital.

E Since his death there has been too much said about his physical disable ment. It is certain that his life was largely influenced by the fact that he was often prostrated by illness which
 were directly consequent on his inabil- Eity to take the violent exercise which
 his bodily system required. But his soul was So unconquerable that one never thought of him as. a fit subject for pity. That would have been the last impertinence He was the original of John Silver, who, it may be remember ed, was singularly active person. Here is fact which may explain: One of his men who had known him for twelve years, seeing him all too seldom, but spending most of his life in close con- tact with others of the gang, was amazed to read after his death that one of his legs was artificial. Men were glad to hear all that was to be told about Henley, and glad to tell anything
 they had of knowledge relating to him, and yet this man knew only that he had had an operation on his leg in Edin- burgh Old Infirmary. the Lon- don Bookman.< 1*tf~ 45ss

 A private detective is a mere pas sive spectator. He watches, aud turns in a report on what he sees. He carries neither pistol nor club, in many cases not even a badge.
 Strike work, of course, is an exeep- ton. Our men down in Pennsylvania year ago were fully armed. But not one of these carried gun until he was first sworn in, either as a deputy sheriff or as a sheriff; and outside of strikes there's no class of private detective work that is sufficiently dangerous to require weapons.
