COPPER coRNIcEs.
Thief Tried To Get Them Fro m
 Fridseporrs City HalL

The Bridgeport Telegram has an ac. count this morning of an attempt to steal the copper cornices of the city hall just being remodeled. and how the attempt was frustrated by NJ. J. Jor- dan, . former citizen of Waterbury and l ex-first sergeant of Company G. The | account of the affair is as follows: Yesterday afternoon some of the occupants of the BarnumT Thompson building in State street were startled by a crash of falling sheet metal. Michael J. Jordan, real estate dealer, who is an occupant of the building. looked out of his window and saw that the cause of the noise was the falling of large section of copper from the cornice of the partly renod- eled city hall. 4 second look revealed the figure of man on the roof ill . hurry to get under cover. Mir Jordan went out doors and saw a second man in the basement of the building, pre- sumably pal of the man higher up.' and after that he ran back into his | office and called up police headquar> ters and related what had happened. Lieutenant Anderson took the mes. sage, and told the superintendent. The latter told Doorman James Halpin,
 who was the only available policeman at headquarters at the time, to make an investigation, and to wear citizens clothes. and follow the case up, if he found a clue.
 Officer Halpin found the section of copper close to the old pump on the east side of the building. One side of it was pretty badly dented. where it had struck the ground. The officer learned that two rough looking men had been prowling around the building and one of them wore white sweater. After the copper was thrown to the ground from the roof they left the | building and walked down State street towards Water, where they were lost | track of.
 There Is an impression at police headquarters that the. men who at- | tempted to steal he roof of the remod- eled city hall were aware that there
 was copper lying about loose on the
 roof, for it is hardly probable that the average thief would take the chaace of going to the roof of building like the city hall unless he knew that there
 was something on the roof that was l worth his quest

The Best Sectional Bookcase

is the "Danner' Sliding Door Case. On the ''Danner" case instead of having to lift up glass door and push it in. making several motions. all there Is to do is to touch the door and it slides to one side. Another advantage that the "Danner' sectional bookcases have over any other kind is that the shelves can be adjusted to accommodate vari- ous sizes of books. overcoming the necessity caused by all other styles of sectional cases of buying case to nt tine books or books 10 fit the case. There is q uniformity throughout that cannot be obtained in any other book case on the market. These cases arc to be seen in selected quarterei oak e solid mahogany at the Hampson-Sellew store and it would be well for all book lovers to 20 in and see the advantage offered in the 'Danner" sectional book case Prices are no more than any good ordinary bookcase.

While it was by no means easy to
collect satisfactory specimens of fruit
and vegetables during the first half Of
the Fair, few enterprising farmers did
their best in this line until the ad-
vancing season brought an abundance,
and the closing days of the Fair found
the booth filed to it's capacity. The
strong finish was due to the fact that
farmers Up the line from Elk City to
the east end of the county got busy
Just when their assistance was badly
needed. This was by no means q ban.

he expected has happened.

The expected has happened.
After being out only 30 minutes the
inry IN the Federal court in Portland
declared Ira Wade, Lincoln county's
popular aud efficient County Clerk,
innocent of the charge OF conspiracy
in connection with the Siletz land
fraud case, with the particulars OF
which our readers are familiar. The
jury found Willard n. Jones and Thad
deus S. Potter of Portland, with whom
Mr.. Wade was Indicted, guilty as
charged.
The verdict was no surprise to the
people of Lincoln county, whose faith
IN Mr.. Wade has renamed unshaken
turned by the Federal grand jury.
The attempt of the prosecution to
implicate Mr.. Wade fell fiat from the
start, not point in the line OF direct
evidence being presented. Mr.. Wade's
able counsel, J. r. Wyatt of Albany,
easily blocked all attempts to prove his
clients connection with the irregular
tiles and won the respect of the judge
and jury--and possibly that of the
famous Mr.. Heney.
While the people of Lincoln county
rejoice over the verdict, the regret is
unanimous that the unfortunate affair
has caused Mr.. Wade considerable
financial loss. But such misfortunes
may come to any honest man, and they
must be borne-with or without the
grin accompaniment-a according to the
temperament of the victim. Ira Wade
is hurt financially, not otherwise. Thi:
is the verdict of the people of Lincoln
county.
Mr.. Wade returned from Portland
Monday evening and on the following
evening large number OF citizens
were present at reception given il
his honor at Woodmen Hall. Voca
and instrumental music and choice re
freshments caused the time to pas
rapidly until nearly midnight. Sew
eral citizens, in response to invitation
from Chairman Gardner, spoke brief
regarding the trouble from which MI
Wade has emerged with flying colors
emphasizing their remarks with eS
pressions of confidence and goodwill
Mr.. Wade acknowledged with consider
able feeling the honors shown him b
his fellow-citizens and expressed hi
appreciation OF their confidence.

The Fair Ended.

The Lewis and Clark Centennial Ex-
position closed last Saturday at mid
night.
AS the Oregonian remarks at ran
its course on IA chalk mark of success
and ended In burst of glory"
Here is the story: Total admissions
during Exposition, 1854 1886. Total re-
ceipts from admissions and stock sub
scriptions, 81 ,44S, ,6l7.55. After all ex.
penses are paid there will remain
surplus OF about $lS0,000.
The Fair has certainly been success
to the extent of double the estimate Of
the most enthusiastic citizen. 1t is
true, as has frequently been stated, the
Fair has drawn thousands OF dollars
from the people in every part of the
state and caused temporary dulness
Of business outside of Portland, but
where is the citizen who attended the
Fair and failed to get his moneys
worth? 1t is something to be citizen
of Oregon just now and share in tho
glory, Of tins gigantic success, even
though one may be up against a tenn
porary financial cramp as Il result.
And where is the knocker whs doesn't
believe it will all como back with inter
est; that not only Portland, the me-
tropolis, but every part of the state
will be within the next two years be
benefited away beyond all expendi-
lures?
The Fair was IL wonderful success.
BE proud of it.
