ElOpement.

Portland, Ore, May 25,-Disguised
in baseball suit and seated in buggy
beside the man she loved, Miss Bessie
Anderson, Is years old, and reported
to be TO remark able beauty, fled from
the home of her parents at Turner, Or. :,
and passed through the center ssof that
town without being recognized by the
people who thronged the streets Sun
day. They supposed Nodine was tray
elling with boy. Frank Davis, a resi-
dent of Turner, and deputy sheriff of
Linn county, are in Portland searching
for the girl and Vance Nodine, who is
alleged to have accompanied her in her
flight.
/, Searchers struck the trail of the fee
ing couple shortly after their sensa-
tional elopement and followed them to
the foothills of the Santiam country,
but there the trail was lost. 1t is be-
lieved that they took the train and
came to Portland.
Nodlne is married man and left a
family at Tillamook when he started
forth to see the world in company with
16 year old girl, whose trousseau
consisted of pair of knee trousers and
other baseball regalia.
The missing girl is a daughter of
John Anderson, section foreman of
Turner.
Speaking of the elopement, Mr..
Davis said: Miss Turner was not
missed until late in the evening, when
the truth dawned on her parents, and

tied to Him.
The Portland Oregonian publishes
the following account of the swim
ming of the Bagbag by General Fun
ston, at Calumpit, Philippine islands,
April 26, 1899, and the swimming OF
the Rio Grande the day following by
two soldiers of the Kansas regiment.
1t is probably the first time that the
correct version has ever been pub
lished.
"a body of some 1000 Fflipinos, who
were on the far side of the Rio Grande,
had been harrassing the American
forces. On April 26, 1899, General
Funston, accompanied by skirmish
party. swan the Bagbag, small slug
gish stream about 100 feet wide which
is tributary to the Rio Grande. This
account has been confused with and
magnifed into the swimming of the
Rio Grande the following day, April
27. by two soldiers from the Kansas
regiment, which preceded the routing
of 1000 Filipinos by the American
soldiers, These two soldiers carried
a line with them, with which they drew
across a heavier one. To the latter a
raft was fastened and drawn across.
When As soldier and General Funston
had been ferried over the detachment
routed the Filipinos.
General Funston concluded: ut is
true, | swan the Bagbag, but this was
of no Importance. The swimming of
the Rio Grande by the Kansas men
was an entirely different event. The
Rio Grande is a stream fully half
mile wide, with a current running sew
en- knots an hour and to have swan it
would have been physical impossi-
bility for me. The whole trouble was
occasiOned, | suppose, by confusing the
two streams and the proximity of the
events | am glad to present the facts
as they are and clear the matter up"

that the commerce and industry of the
country are passing through a severe
crisis as result of the practical ces-
sation of all trade with Siberia, caused
by the concentration of the military
along the transsiberian railway. This
congestion of trade is especially felt
