Don't Like Jury Duty.

jury service at a murder trial." said a
King street business man who had been
summoned to appear as a juror at this
term of one of the Circuit Courts Il
believe L would rather suffer the
strain of confinement on the reef for
80 days than adjudicate on one of these
dreary murder trials that are now on
the calendar. To what 1 mainly OBJ
ject is the close association night and
day for week or more with a lot Of
men, most of them wholly uncompan-
ionable. perhaps, whom I don't know
nor care to know. Other objections are
the monotony of the trial by day, the
police surveillance by night, ostracism
from my family, Indifferent meals and
lodgings and the sacrifice of business.
Then after the judge delivers his charge
there comes the tiresome wrangle in
bringing over the two or three obsti-
nate jurors who won't see the case as
the majority see it. A man convinced
against his will is of the same opinion

ROOT DOOMED TAFT.

At a reception given in Washington
by the retiring secretary of war to his
successor. Judge Taft, Mr.. Root pro-
posed a rhyning toast which has
aroused a good deal of comment. Here

fate;
His time will surely come to head
the state.
Or, should be such a great ambition
quench.
To sit as chief upon the highest
bench;
The toast, with trimming glasses to
be quaffed;
There's but one man tonight, and that
is Taft
The author of the lines is Colonel
Hopkins, clerk of the court of claims,
but the fact that Secretary Root chose
in this direct way to suggest that Judge
Taft may be President of the United
States or chief justice of the supreme
court made a marked impression on
those who were present.

Browning to an Advertiser reporter at
the Alexander Young Hotel last even
ing. Port Arthur seemed to be about
the same as usual. There were no I'M
usual preparations for war nor excite
ment of any kind. 1 went out to the
Wenchow, a British ship inside the har-
Dor, for the night, which also happen
ed to be the night chosen by the Jap
anese fer the torpedo attack. The at
tack took place about one o'clock in
the morning, but can't say that from
my own knowledge for L slept through it

hundred yards from where the Wen
chow was moored, but it could not have

THAT morning. Tuesday. L went
on shore from the Wenchow and about
1850 o'clock the forts opened fire, fol-
lowed by a bombardment from the fleet
which lasted for half an hour. The
shells flew over my head. but did not

back of the hill, but the bombardment
soon ceased. The bombardment SEEM

shells, none of them having done any
damage. There was only one man in
jured in the entire engagement, a pilot,
who is Ffnlander. He was struck by
a splinter.
Afterwards I returned to the Wen
chow. The Russian fleet was outside
the harbor, but the j as uese fleet was
never in sight. The Russian fleet went
out again and then returned c

There was some sort of entertainment
in Port Arthur that night.
Port Arthur does not seem to have
been making much preparation for war.
There are great stacks of flour, coal
and hay stored in the city and many
soldiers We're constantly parading the
streets. But there is no way of telling
just how large a land force the Rus
slams have at Port Arthur. No one is
allowed to approach the forts.

The official report of Admiral Togo,

more or less damaged. Seven non-com-

Ancient Order United workmen Stand

BY decisive majority the proposed
change in the plan of insurance from
what is termed the classified to the level
rate was defeated by the Ancient Order
OF United Workmen of the Oregon juris-
diction. The new plan has been adopt
ed in nearly every other state in the
country.
The proposed change caused contest
in the local lodges in which personalities
were INDUCED in and heated discussions
occurred The greater part of the
Grand Lodge meeting at Portland was
devoted to discussion favoring and op.
posing the plan. When brought to a
vote it was defeated by a large majority.
The question arose whether the mem
bers were authorized to donate $1,000
towards the erection OF fraternal build
ing at the Lewis and Clark fair. The
discussion that followed was finally set
I tied by the grand lodge officers who
favored the donation Of that amount of
money.
The reports of the various officers
show the order to be in excellent con
dition and to be growing rapidly. There
were six new lodges organized during
the year and there is total membership
of 9,69S, including only those in good
