Hofer Springs Campaign Novelty.
Oakland, Or, Nov. 5--(Special) -
Colonel f. Hofer, of Salem, and Judge
A. H. Tanner, Of Portland, were greet
ed by large audience this afternoon
This is one of the strongest Republican
precincts in Douglas county and great
enthusiasm prevailed. Colonel Hofer
sprung an innovation in campaign
methods by virtually opening the
meeting with an invocation and clos
ing it with a benediction.
He said the old Republican leaders
who organized the party so years ago
under the oaks of Michigan were as
truly martyrs in the cause of humanity
as the fathers who founded the Christ
ian religion, and that Republican
and an honest man was the mobiles work
of God. After reviewing the tariff
and industrial policies, he closed by
asking the blessing of God on the la
bors of President Roosevelt, the state
central committee and the present
Oregon delegation.

President Roosevelt in securing the
Panama canal. by which it is possible
to make successful waterway to the

Col. Hofer is an interesting and
pleasing speaker and an old worker
in the Republican ranks. The even
ing's entertainment was augmented
by the services of the Gardiner band,
which rendered the patriotic selec-
tions, "America," "Star Spangled
Banner" and "Vigilant" march.

Burglars in Charles Town.

The Spirit says that there were a
couple of bold burglaries in Charles
Town Monday night. The hardware
store of G. n Coleman, in the Hoofi
building, was entered by prying up
the lower ends of two upright iron
bars. Here number of fne revolvers,
razors and pocket knives, to the value
of some $50 or SIS were taken. At
the hardware store of L. D. Getzen-
daner, which was also robbed. en-
trance was effected by pryiug apart
the front double doors, and goods. in
Guiding pistols and razors, to the
amount Of about $75, were taken. A
glass counter showcase, containing
these articles, was broken open, as
was also the money drawer-the lat
ter proving to the robbers dry haul.
There was dog in the store, end,
strange to say, the animal did not at
tack the burglars He made noise
enough, however, to arouse Mr.. Get
zendaner, sleeping in room over the
store, and the latter reached a win
dow as two men were going out He
got his revolver, after some delay and,
tried to shoot at them, but the pistol
snapped repeatedly and he only got
two shots out of it, the burglars pass
ing down Washington street and
around the corner past T. E. Cham
bins, cursing Mr.. Getzendaner az
they went. Mr. Chamblin heard the
racket, got up and seeing the men pass
recognized them as two tramP' who
had been IN his saloon several times
the preceding day. 1t is thought the
burglars boarded Norfolk and West
ern freight train. and active efforts
are being made for their capture.

Hauling Logs On the Ice.

1t isn't often that the Potomac riv-
err has ice upon it such as has covered
it for the past few weeks. Teams
have been crossing it at various points,
and for the past week NJ. NJ. Skinner,
VINO lives near Knots Island below
town, has been hauling logs across the
river upon the ice with a two-horse
sled. Taking advantage Of the unus-
usl opportunity, Mr.. Skinner has cut
down a number of trees along the riv-
-er edge, throwing them upon the ice
and hauling the logs across to the saw
mill on the opposite side. The horses
and the heavily-loaded sled have made
the trip in perfect safety, and the ice
has shown no sign of breaking It is
feared that if freshet comes. with
the heavy ice upon the river almost
from its source, there will be danger
from the great foes that will serve
as battering rams.
