THIS BISHOP LIKES POLITICS.
The Rev. Dr. FITZGERALD Once Held Up n
Conference TO Herr Senator Foraker

Il was at Ocean Grove the other day
when Senator Fairbanks and his friends
attended the service presided over by
Bishop Fitzgerald Of the Methodist Church., :"
said New Yorker. Some OF the brethren
did not like it because the old Bishop went
out of his way to hold sort Of love feast
with the candidate for Vice-President.
But they didn't know the good old
Bishop as l knew him. Some years ago,
when Cleveland and Harrison were candi-
dates, there was a Methodist Conference
Of the Rock River district Of Illinois being
held at Freeport: Bishop Fitzgerald was
presiding. At that time he lived In New

J. O.. SHiNN TELLS HOW MEAT.
ESTABLISHED HIS CHAIN
OF BANKS.
They Were Supposed to Be o,.,,.
With the Money of the
Oepositors.

In connection with the story of the
closing of the bank at Starhucl tho
Portland Telegram prints the follow
ing, showing the method pursued h,
E. c. Mears, who was at the head of
the institution:
-Four banks, started with practically
no visible capital, prefaced the story Of
a closed bank at Starbuck, Wash ono
said to be in financially embarras sed
circumstances at Winlock, Wash. and
two others at Roslyn. Wash. and
Suites, Idaho, according to j. O. Shinn.
"a resident of Portland, who has for
some time been in the employ of F.
Mears,, now at Gle Elum, Wash. Mr..
Mears opened the banks, and the one
at Roslyn was in charge of Mr.. Shinn
| until recently. the latter says that
Sites and Starbuck banks are in the
neighbOrhOod of $4,000 behind. but
those at ROslyn and Winlock will be
able to pay all outstanding accounts.
Mr.. Shinn said this morning that
he went to Roslyn about the middle of
| last May to take charge of Mears'
| bank there, with the natural under
standing that there would be plenty
| of funds to run the institution.
When | arrived there he said, 1
| found the bank was supposed to be
| operated on money furnished by de-
positors, and consequently after wait
| ing for two weeks | refused to receive
any more deposits. Up until that time
| was putting off depositors by telling
| them that the bank was not ready for
business. A few deposits were made,
| however, but not many.

Just what Mears is gong TO 90

fIOTO CIRCUS ENTERTAINED
LARGE CROWD OF PEOPLE
IN WALLA WALLA.
exceptionally Fine Program Of Start
ling Acts and Feats-Arabian
Horses a Feature.

The Floto Shows. or Circus Beauti-
ful,' as it is commonly called, was the
attraction in Walla Walla today, and
the performance this afternoon. which
was given on the Second street
grounds, was attended by large
crowd, that completely filled the large
tents. The circus arrived this morn
ing from Pendleton at an early hour
This is one of the best shows that
has visited Walla Walla for many
years, and while it is not as extensive
as the big ones. it is certainly equal
to any in the class of acts given, to
the Ringlings or any other of the
larger aggregations. Everything about
the snow is clean and the performance
is carried out with promptness and
dispatch.
The parade took place at 10: 80
o'clock this morning and was viewed
by large crowd. 1t was not very
extensive, but it was equal to the
usual circus street show and surpassed
them in some respects.
The main show itself is made up of
a splendid program of acts and fea-
lures, which We're greatly enjoyed by
the audience. One of the best features
of the performance was the act given
by the SigimOto Japanese family. The
old acts usually done by this class of
people were entirely eliminated and
many new feats We're given. one of
the most startling feats is the slide on
the tight wire which is made by one
of the male members of this troupe.
The act of the nine Arabian horses
surpasses anything ever before seen
in this city and the manner in which
Professor Carroll and his wife handle
the animals is a marvel.
The acrobatic work of the ST. Leon
family is far above the average and
their act alone is we'll worth the price
of admission.
Miss Label Leona does a hurdle ride
that is not Only exciting but from an
artistic point of view cannot be ex-
| celled.
one of the enjoyable features of the
| show is the exhibition by the three
elephants, who give an excellent imi-
tation of a lodge initiation. one of the
elephants is selected to receive the de-
| gree and the many comical situations
| given by the big animal creates no end
| of amusement and laughter.
There Is a good dog and pony show
| in connection with the circus and these
animals give a performance of high
class order.
The circus carries a large menagerie
| including many of the rarest specl-
mems of wild animals ever placed on
exhibition. This is one of the main
features of the show and attracted the
attention of the large crowd before the
show was commenced in the main tent
one of tn eenjoyable features of the
afternoon performance was the music
which was furnished by Professor
zierkes aggregation of high class mu-
sicians The concert program pre-
ceding the performance was very en-
iovahle. and the music furnished dur
mo tne various acts was exceptionally
fine.
Another performance will be given
tonight and a large audience is ex-
pected.

TO TAKE IT INTO COURT
COUNCIL REFUSES TO AHo'-
rRATE MATTER OF OPENING
SPOKANE STREET.
E,liott's Deed Property to City for
Library site-New Alley to
Be Opened.

If Spokane street is opened by the
city it will have to be tnrashed out in
the courts before the work can be COM
menced. This will be the result of the
action taken by the council last night,
unless a reconsideration is had. Nearly
all the time of last nights session OF
the council was taken up in the dis
cussion of the subject. The appraisers
appointed by Mayor Hunt had submit
ted a report showing that they had as
sessed the value of the land owned by
John P. Kent and Joseph Tachi, which
it was proposed to appropriate, at $125
a front foot. The owners of the prop
erty. however, claimed that it was
worth $3.50 front foot. Mr.. Kent, who
was present, said that Mr.. Tachi and
himself were willing to leave the set
tlement of the difference between the
allowance and their claim to three dis
interested persons, and suggested that
erty owners appoint one, and the two
appointed to select a third. A motion
was then made in accordance with his
suggestion, but it was voted down by
the council, Mclean and Martin voting
for it and Smith, Glasford, Boyer and
Brewer against. The city attorney
was then instructed to draw an ordl-
nance creating an assessment district.
He will submit it at the meeting to-
night, when it is expected he will then
be instructed to commence condemna
ton proceedings in the court.

MADE A GOOD THING
 OF ICE BUSINESS.

W. R. Lane, the progressive ice man, is preparing to put in a $10,000 ice plant in Walnut Ridge, says the home paper, to take the place of his small plant that he is now running and which has been sold to Blackwell & Son of Black Rock. The pres ent plant has only a capacity of three tons daily, but has been a money maker for it's owner. In the four years it has been run ming in Walnut Ridge it has net ted MT. Lane 5000 in clean cash. But then, you could sci MT. Lane down on a rock in 2 }onely island and he would make n1oney.
