CESS Hundreds at the
Banquet Board Good
Nights Work

The Maccabees held a monster ini-
tiation in Salem last night, when the
tents from the surrounding towns met
with the Salem tent, bringing togeth-
err 500 Maccabees for a night Of festiv-
ity and work, such as that organiza-
tion has never before seen In Salem,
or in any other town in Oregon. The
meeting and initiation vas arranged
for two months ago. when 1t became
known that Supreme Commander d.
p. Marley, of Port Huron, Mich,
would be in Portland this week to at
tend the state convention Of the or
der, and which began in that city to-
day. 1t was a~scertained that Mr.. Mar
key would come through here Mon
day afternoon, and the monster meet
ing was scheduled for that night, so
that Mr.. Marley could be present. It
was arranged that all the nearby
tents should join with the Salem
members and give the distinguished
visitors a grand reception, and at
the same time a campaign for new
members was commenced, that resulted
in the initiation OF 1856 neophytes last
night.
Mr.. Markey did not arrive. for the
reason that his train, due here from
San Francisco at 4:S4 last evening,
did not reach Salem until IL O'Clock
this morning, and Mr.. Marley, there
fore went on through to Portland,
But, in spite Of the absence Of the
head OF the order. the meeting last
night was a great success The can.
didates for Initiation were divided in
to squads. and the two teams Of the
Salem and Pratum tents conferred
the beautiful work on the class. earn
ing the unstlnted praise OF tho visit
ors for the excellence OF the work.
Following the initiation the banquet
tables were spread, and the hosts OF
Maccabees were RECALLED, the Salem
tent having prepared a fine reparst,
and feasting continued until an early

Discharged Seventeen
Clerks From His
Office

Sheriff Storey let loose a cyclone OF
his own in the court house yesterday,
The storm which anndhilated his
boom in last Saturdays convention
was as a summer breeze by compari-
son.
Mr.. Storey demonstrated that he
win be on earth as sheriff several
months yet, and, while he continues
to draw breath as guardian OF the
county's peace, he will be his own
boss. And the two score clerks and
deputies under his sway, SOME Of
whom got their jobs by the grace Of
his now unmasked enemies, felt their
hair stand on end.
The Titanic sheriff went TO work
with the sun, and was clearing away
wreckage all day. The following Is a
brief resume Of his achievements:
Discharged II clerks in the tax col
lecting department; forced w. f.
Matthews, who is United States mar.
shall, and boss OF the Republican or
ganization, TO beat a retreat from his
Office; discharged a volley Of maledic.

words that proved a redundant vocab-

clean out gambling in the next three

to the death James M. stott, Repubh'
can nominee for sheriff, and made
known that an independent candidate
for the ONCE, either himself or some
body else, would run against stott.
All day long the mighty sheriff
welded his arm ami was 80 busy that
he hardly a down on his long coat

WAYS OF WILD CREATURES.
Easy Victim Preferred by Those Who
Prey on Their Fellows.

frey on lnclr FELLOWS.
In a recently published book on
fishing, w. S. Hodgson, an English
sportsman, argues that when fish
of the salmon kind, or a pike, takes a
real minnow impaled on a flight OF
hooks or a manufactured thing re-
sembling a minnow the fish is moved
less by a desire to eat than by de-
sire to KILL He derives this impress
sion from the fact that "a salmon or a
trout. like pike, will, leave whole
shoal of minnows undisturbed, and
rush at an impaled minnow, or a phan-
tom" A critic of the book says:
Surely this is very far-fetched. Fish
and birds of prey. like human beings.
are averse to unnecessary trouble, and
as it is easier to catch a wounded
creature than fresh one. peregrine
will take an injured grouse or pike
a tethered or spinning bait when 1t
comes in his way. not because OF the
instinct which leads wild animals to
kill the weaker brethren, but from
the natural tendency to take the
goods the gods provide you in the
shape Of a cheaply earned and easy
meal" 1t may be added that old
guides of northern Wisconsin hold
with Mr.. Hodgson that the muskel-
lunge strikes the bait ordinarily only
when he feels savage and desires to
kill something.
