STORY BY POLICE.
Mrs. Bowers, it is told by the police,
had some trouble with her husband
about four years ago. He fell in love
with a woman named Eloise Parker of
Chicago, but his wife persuaded him to
give her up. He was proprietor of a
machinery plant and was a successful
workman. The wife says Bowers was
a money-maker and always command
ed good salary. She thinks that If he
has really left her he has gone to Port
land, where he is acquainted.
There is a chance of there being a
woman in the case. The disappearance
of Mrs. Bowers new clothing seems to
bear out this theory. Detective Cole
man, however, says he sees in the de-
velopments a conspiracy that had it's
birth in Chicago. The relatives of Mrs.
Bowers were opposed TO Harley Bowers
and urged his wife to leave him They
were the custodians of few thousands
that remained of her fortune. and re-
fused TO allow the husband to handle
the money.
II think that it is another Soeder
case said Coleman. when Bowers
found that he could not get the money
by peaceful means it was his intention
to kill her. Her ldnsmen had her
money when she was in Chicago and
they would not give 1t to him. so he
put up a job to get her to come to
California. / think the brothers are on
their way to Portland and will be cap
tured.'
The brothers are each about five
feet seven inches tall. and are dressed
in dark suits of the same pattern and
make. Harley weighs about $50 pounds
Robert weighs about 165 pounds.

Checks and Drafts,

A, the TOP of st. Peter...

One needs TO climb TO the top OF st.
Peters to understand best how its
builders sought to overawe Its behold
ers. Then the colossal proportions OF
every detail become apparent: then one
may discover that the pen in the hand
of ST. Mark is as long as a six foot
grenadier. On approaching the row OF
apostles which stand along the edge OF
the roof and which seem to the by
stander in the street below OF the size
of ordinary human beings one will md
gigantic figures whose eyes are as big
as mems heads and whose fingers vie
in size with an athletes forearm. The
roof is indeed a city in itself, for here
are rows of houses where the workmen
who are constantly employed in repair
ing the cathedral have their homes. A
fountain supplies them with water,
and their provisions are brought to
them on the backs of donkeys driven
up the broad and easy incline OF the
stairway.

Fuddlfn4 Cups.

An article IN the Burlington Maga-

of the quaint tygs, or loving cups, Is
their astonishing number of handles,
which range from two TO as many as

of this equipment was that the cup
might pass from hand TO hand and
each guest have Il fresh portion OF the

arrangement for the first time round!
