CORVALLIS, OREGON. APRIL 9. 1904

tain Whitcomb has always prided
himself on keeping his vessel in
ship shape. The sight of an old,
dirty bundle on the walk angered
him, and he at once climbed down
to throw it away. Great was his
surprise when he discovered that
several feet of fuse was coiled about
the bundle. Grains of black powd-
er were scattered about the package.
The Captain made sure that the
fuse was not lighted, and then he
made rush for telephone.
As-soon as the news of the dis
covery was received at the police
heado uarters Detectives Kerrigan
and Snow were sent to the Oak
street dock, where the Albany is
moored. The detectives at once
pulled the fuse and cap out of the
bundle. No traces of the machine
men we're seen.
The bundle contained enough
powder to place the vessel in the
bottom of the river in short order.
II wouldn't have had any more
boat than rabbit if that thing had
gone off," said Captain Whitcomb.
The captain is Of the opinion that
the machine was placed on his boat
by disgruntled Chinese who are
angry because no Chinese laborers
are employed on the boat. The
sack in which the powder was
placed was wrapped up in a Chinese
napkin, and clean white sock. the
sort used by nearly all the Chinese
in Portland was in the package.
cit is a well-known fact among
river men that the Chinese are
very sore because so many of the
towing boats carry white cooks.
Nearly all of the river steamers that
tow logs carry women cooks. The
Chinese do not like this new order
of things at all, and they may have
wanted to blow up the Albany for
spitswork."
Captain Whitcomb said that he
had not been in trouble with deck
hands or firemen. He is popular
among the river boatmen, and the
officers are at loss to know the
reason for the attempt to blow up
the vesse1."

St. Louie, March 31.-The men,
bers of the Igorrote aud other saw
age tribes of the Philippine Islands
who arrived at the Worlds Fair
several days ago, demand that dogs
shall be served them daily as part
of their bill of fare. Not since they
left Seat lie have they tasted roast
or boiled dog, and formal demand
for their favorits food was lodged
with M. R. Healy, who looks out
for their comfort.

mission was granted. The Igor

Caribou, Me-, March 30.-Proof
that the New England earthquake
of March 81 had its origin in North
ere Maine was furnished today,
when guide came up from tt
bo9ue and affirmed that where old
Bald Mountain had reared its
rounded head for cent lries only a
] newborn lake exists to mark the
spot. Bald Mountain is, or was,
situated in the Tiboque valley, only
a few miles from the New Brunswick
line, not an imposing mountain, to
be sure, but rather somewhat con-
ical.shaped hill celebrated for its
inaccessible steep sides.
The natives who live where Bald
Mountain was say they always
| thought it little queer because at
the base were boiling springs so
warm that one could not put his
hand in them in winter. Near by
is a hill called Plaster Rock, which
furnishes plaster so good it is used
for building purposes. This was
recently analyzed and found to con.
1 sist of merely melted rock and
earth, and all this leads to the be-
lief now that Bald Mountain was
the cone of a Volcano which, when
it sank March 81. caused what all
New England called an earthquake.
Tonight party of woodsmen came
in to say that the guides story is
true-that where the mountain for
merly stood there is now only a
muddy looking lake.

DASTARDLY ATTEMPT OF

Jefferson City, NO., April 5.-A
desperate attem pit was made by so
convicts of the Missouri state peni-
tentiary this morning to blow up
that institution, kill all guards who
might interfere and liberate 800
convicts. The plot only failed

The detonation caused a general a.
larm. Williams fled down the cor
rider where he was met by seven
ether guards, who, alarmed by the
noise, had seized arms from the
guard.room and were running to-
ward the cell. roome.
Williams and Guard Bruner led
the charge but on arrival at the
cell-room door were ordered to
throw up their hands. The convict
who had first halted Williams Jump.
ed back into his cell and from his
refuge opened fire with a.pistol.
Bruner ran around to the rear,
escaping injury, and got the drop
on the murderous convict. The
latter was then disarmed and lock-
ed into another cell. The other
convicts who, during this time had
been raising turmoil, were over
powered and quelled as additional
guards appeared upon the scene.
A search of the cell in which the
leader had been incarcerated dis.
closed 20 pounds of dynamite, a
bottle of nitro-glycerine, two mod
ern revolvers, cigar box filled
with cartridges and number of
skeleton keys, which were evidently
intended to be used in liberating
other prisoners from cells.

been made had been broken by the
destruction of the inner plate on the.

Toxic, April 3.-The advance
guard of the Japanese army in
Northwestern Corea occupied the
town Of Seng Cheng yesterday af-
ternoon without opposition. Seng
Cheng is on the Pekin road, IS
miles west Of Cheng Ju, about 40
miles south of Wiju.
When the Japanese drove the
Russians out of Cheng Ju last Mon.
day the Russians withdrew in two
columns, one going over the Koak
San road and the other over
the Pekin road. The japanese ad-
vance from Cheng Ju was made
very rapidly.
1t was anticipated that the Rus
SLAMS would resist this advance, but
they failed to do so, and it is not
probable that there will be any
further opposition south of the va
lu river.

Hard Course of True Love,

king of Cyprus and Jerusalem, was in
love with the beautiful young Nine. de
Valentinois, who had an estate at Mo-
naco.. Says Nine. de Crequy: HE
often came to Monaco, without sound
of trumpet or drum, so as to give her
an agreeable surprise. Nine. de Val
ertinois did not care in the least for
her neighbor, who, moreover, was a
septuagenarian and humpbacked as a
sack of nuts. In order to put stop
to his visits she used to have his
movements watched, and directly he
passed her frontier he was saluted
from all her batteries. Twenty-one
guns was the precise number, sufficient
to proclaim for miles around that his
grace was taking an outing"

How the Musse1 Travels.

Of all the absurd forms of locomo-
Eon practiced by the creatures of the
deep the most preposterous is that OF
the mussel. Squids will startle you by
darling backward, crabs hustle off
sideways at lively gait, but nothing
save the dull brain Of "some kind Of
clam critter," bordering over the trans
portation problem in those remote
epochs when time was no object, could
have evolved so slow and cumbersome
a method.
You may often see mussels climb up
the pile of a wharf toward the high
water mark. Notice the black threads
attached to the clam. They do the bust
ness. The mussel shoots out a spray
of gelatinous stuff in the direction he
wants to go and this hardens into
those black threads. He lets go the
old ones and climbs up by the new.
You can trace his progress up the pile
by the punches Of old threads, which
he leaves behind at intervals. 1t has
never been figured out whether he
could go a mile in less than a year,
but it would be safe to back the mus
sci in the animals 'slow race. "-CouD-

The Real Unicorn.

Early in the last century the unicorn
of ancient myth came within the realm
of scientific knowledge in the form of
the white rhinoceros, the largest next
to the elephant, of modern quadrupeds.
For long years the unicorn's only
known habitat was on a coat of arms
Ancient writers who had told of it
were dlscredited until a one horned
rhinoceros, found by Marco Polo in
Sumatra, received this name. And
early in the last century Burchell also
discovered in South Africa, between
the Orange and Zambezi rivers, the
huge white pachyderm. 1t had, in
truth, two horns, but one was so small
as to he scarcely perceptible, while the
other, tufted with bristles at the base,
was so many as four feet long, curving
and tapering to hard, sharp point.
