MITCHELL NOT HURRYIHG.
Final Decision May BE Delayed Until
Term OF senate IL Near END.

EiHak Oootbiuu MAY DO Dothyeu uhtli
Term OF senats IL Near END.
Oregonian News Bureau, Washing
ton, Aug. %. 3.--Senator John H.
Mitchll evidently intends to hold on to
his seat in the senate just as long as
he can, even though he Is unable to
occupy that seat or perform any of the
active duties of a senator. This is
evidenced by the fact that he will not
seek to have his case brought to early
trial before the United States Supreme
Court, but will allow it to be taken
up in the regular order, which proba-
bly, means that it cannot be argued
and disposed of at the coming term OF
court, beginning in October and end
ing early in May. 1t is within Sen
ator Mitchell's province, If he SO
elects, to ask that his case be advanced
on the docket, in which event it might
be argued as early as January. Such
notion was made in the case of Sen
ator Burton, of Kansas, and compar-
atively prompt action was taken on his
appeal But Mitchell does not want
quick action; he is willing to wait,
and, as previously stated in these dis
patches, it is the belief Of supreme
court officials that to wait means to
postpone the decision until the winter
of 19O6-7, which is near the close of
Mitchell 3 term.

DATE IS CHANGED.
"The Widow and the Foop' Changed to
Wednesday Night.

"The widow and the Fooln Changed to
Wednesday, Night.
The date for the production Of the
comedy drama, "The Widow and the
Fool, I" has been changed from Satur-
day evening to Wednesday evening,
August 30. On account of all the
business houses remaining open late
Saturday nights this was thought
advisable, and it also affords more
time to get the llay In readiness.
''The Widow and the Fool is a
society drama, telling strong heart
story and bubbling over with rich
comedy. Mrs. Welsh will have the
part of Fannie Merriweather, the
widow, and Mr.. Archie Mcintyre
that of Gussie Chumley, the fool.
The leading emotional part of Bea-
trice Fame will be in the hands Of Mrs.
Will McCollum, while Earl Dudley
will appear as George Fame. Miss
Lottie Ogilvy, of Pendleton, who is
visiting in this city, will have the
character Of Josephine, the maid.
Miss Leila Stamper will be seen as
Trixy Fame and Mr.. Hopkins as Haw-
kins, valet. The character Of Raph
ael di Rivola, an Italian artist, the
william Of the play, will be cared for
by Mr.. Welth.
The piece promises to excel anything
yet presented here by amateur talent
and Mr.. and Mrs. Welch promise a
good evenings entertainment.

HELD TO Her HAT
TEAM RUSHED DOWN MAIN
STREET WITH GIRL.
A Runaway That Resulted In Rroken
Vehicle But No Injury to
the Driver.

Tuesday evening thrill Of excite
ment was sent tingling through the
people on Main street at the sight Of
runaway with girl, who held to
the lines with Que hand and with the
other gripping hen hat. In fact, from
appearances, the hat was claiming
more of the young lady's attention
than was the team which, wearied
from a run started in front of John
Banister's farm house east of town,
had tired the horses until any kind
of a pull on the lines would have
brought them to stop.
One tug was broken and tapping
along the side of the horse, together
with a broken reach and dilapidated
top and seat, gave the runaway a
realistic appearance to say the least.
John Warren, young man Of Wes-
ton, by his act of heroism, relieved
the tense strain on the nerves of the
onlookers Warren dashed to the
girls rescue, grabbed one of the
horses by the bits and stopped the
team before it made the turn into
King Bros livery stable.
The girl, who is niece of Monroe
Palmer of Walla Walla, did not seem
to realize the seriousness of her pre-
dicament in the least, and took mat
ters more coolly than the spectators.
Mrs Palmer hired the team of King
Bros. to drive into the country. She
got out of the buggy at Banister's
leaving the girl to hold the team.
How the horses started to run could
not be asoertained as the girl either
did not know or would not say. The
rig smashed into o post or some OBJ
struction and only the center spring
held the gear together.

At Derby g. Wilson there is being

BIG NUGGET FOUND.
I,ich Baker County Placer Mine Yields
TO owner sisS Nugget.


One of the biggest nuggets ever
taken from an Oregon mine was TAX
en- from the placer mine on Pine creek
yesterday afternoon by Paterson,
Eppinger, Emmett and McDaniels Of
Baker City, says the Herald. The
nugget is almost solid gold about the

Outside of the $500 nugget picked
up several years ago this is the largest
taken out Of the Baker mining dis
triet.
This placer mine ON Pine creek has
been operated for number of years
and is one Of the richest in the dis
triet.
Year before last the present owner
worked it and took ont $10,750 in
gold at cost of $4,000. The past year
it has been idle on account Of scar
city of water and only assessment has
been done. It was while doing assess
ment work on the ground yester day
that the mammoth nugget was picked
up. Mr.. Patterson has the gem this
morning and is going to send it to the
Lewis and CLARK fair TO be placed IL
the Baker county mining exhibit.
The owners of this mine have 30
acres Of patented placer ground aud
$50 acres located in addition to 160
acres of patented timber land.
Last year from this same mine Mr..
Patterson picked up a nugget worth
$65 and with SAG bunch of gold,
which be secured some time ago, he
has three of the finest nuggets ever
picked out Of the Baker district.
