Of UNUSUAL SADNESS.
At The Age of 70 Years Mrs.
Louisa Irwin Takes Her
Own Life.

Early Friday morning the sad
intelligence that Mrs. Louisa Ir-
win had fallen into a we'll was
conveyed by phone to this city.
Her home is located at sThe
Buttes," some ten miles south of
this city on the Monroe road.
The old lady had been in i'll
health tor some months and it
was supposed that the sudden
death, recently, of her son, James,
caused an alteration of mind
and that she took her own life
by jumping into the we /.
Miss Hattie Montgomery was
nurse, as we'll as housekeeper for
Mrs. Irwin and took the aged la
dy her breakfast in bed as usual
on this morning. Later Miss
Montgomery went out either to
feed the chickens or to dress one,
and when this duty was completed
returned to the house to find Mrs.
Irwin missing. The alarm was
given and search instituted, with
the result that Richard Irwin
4 found his poor old mothers form
in the well about 100 yards from
the house.
A shawl on the we'll curhine
i gave a clue to where the old lady
was, and anything more sac
would be beyond telling.
| Mrs. Irwin came to Benton
with her husband, Richard Irwin,
deceased, in 184e. After a stay
of some time in this county they
went to Portland, where they are
said to have remained for three
years. They then returned te
this city and kept a store for some
time. Later they settled on the
donation land claim, the same OF
which Mrs Irwin came to hel
death.
Sickness and sorrow are su p
posed to have produced such !;
state of melancholy that drove
Mrs Irwin to take her own life
The day before her death she wa
visited by DR.. Lee, of this city
and seemed fairly cheerful and il
her usual spirits.
In the presence of a large gath
ering of sorrowing friends the re
mains were inferred in the famil,
: cemetery on the home place las
Sunday. Thus has another O
, Oregon's good old pioneer ladie
gone to the great Unknown
Death is always sad, but this cas-
bears unusual cause for sorrow
Richard Irwin the last survive
, of the family has the sympath,
I of multitude of sincere friends
in this, his greatest bereavement

may see their way clear to attend
these meetings. Good results are
certain to follow and it will be an
most opportune time to visit the
Exposition.
An item appeared in the Oregon
ian a few days ago to the effect
that all county exhibits had to be
duly installed by May Is, or else
they would not be allowed the
space allotted them. This is un-
| just to some counties at least, and
| Benton is one of them. Henry L.
French. who has charge Of Benton's
exhibit, states that it would be
utterly impossible for our county,
or any other county, to do this,
as work in the Agricultural Palace
was not far enough along to allow
those in charge of the placing OF
the various county exhibits to work
as they were anxious to do. Mr..
French and assistants worked right
up to the workmen finishing the
building and were obliged to quit
and come home. 1t will not be
the fault Of those in charge of the
exhibits from the various counties
il they are not installed on time tc

was compelled to quit work dowr

along as regards placing than tha

nanCtaI AeStBtbucNs
 PhiIadelphia Aug 10.-An unexpect- ed demonstration occurred late today during the session of the convention of the International Brotherhood of Team sters. It was caused by a telegram from the department store drivers Of Chicago. asking for financial assistance. Tn etelegram, signed by F. J. Ryan. president of the branch of the brother hood, was as follows:
 TWO hundred men out and no Sun day dinner in sight"
 The delegates voted to send $2.000 for the strikers. Delegates represent ing various other Chicago locals rose and demanded assistance. There were several heated arguments and one del egate acused the Executive Committee of refusing to help the strikers. In their eaEerness to be heard, the dele gates resorted to personalities. and President Shea with difficulty restored order. It was finally voted to send $S,5O0 additional to Chicago, the money to be distributed among the truck driv- CTS the coal wagon drivers. the lumber wagon drivers and the piano drivers. Michael F. Casey, of San Francisco. Third Vice President and member of tn eExecutive Committee. in an address said that he had no objection to send ing the money if the men needed 1t, but that he did not want the conven- tion's action to be regarded as an en- dorsement of the Chicago strike About 4.00O men will be benefited by the ap- populations.
 The report of the Executive Commit tee, which was read today. criticised President Shea's conduct of the Chi cago strike. The representative stated also that the committee had decided that Chicago local unions participating in strikes after June 27 last were do- ing sc without the sanction of the com nlftee.

May Race in Louisville.

Louisville. Ky Aug. 10-Having been driven out of St. Louis and Chi- cago and with little prospect of rac- ing further south. the Western Jock ey Club may select Louisville as the only available place for an autumn meeting. What may be the first step toward that end was taken today when Lum Simmons, local man. leased Douglas Park, an old trotting track which has not been used for several years.
 Douglas Park is situated a short distance from Churchill Downs, the latter owned by the new Louisville Jockey Club and under the Jurisdic- ton of the American Turf Association. The new Louisville Jockey Club has been given dates for fall meeting and 1t is the belief of local racing men that Douglas Park will be opened in opposition to Churchill Downs.

Speech at BethIehern.

Bethlehem. Pa.. Aug. 10.-President Roosevelt's train made short stop here today en route to Wilkesbarre, the President speaking from his car as fol- lows:
 MT Mayor and you. my fellow citi- zens--It is a great pleasure to be here and to be introduced by your Mayor, who has called my special attention to this wonderful industry, typified by the Bethlehem steel works. As passed by I was greeted with salutes from some of the cannon you have made and I earnestly hope that they may never have to be used and while all that in me lies shall be done to see that this nation never kives just cause of of- fense to any nation so as to warrant their use. yet that If they should be needed they will come in mighty handy If they should be needed we want the very best and we want the best men behind them. In war the ufti- mate factor is the man behind the gun. You have got to have not only an Al gun but an Al gunner. The shot that counts Is the shot that hits We need in the interest of peace, and so that we can do our duty in promoting the peace of the world, to have 1t under stood that we desire peace. not from fear. not from weaknes. but because we regard peace as just and right.
 My friends. in private life. in the life of peace. in ordinary civil life it is true as 1t Is in time of war that great though 1t Is to have these evidences of our material prosperity, the thing that counts most is the average of our cit izenship. Whether this country goes up or goes down will depend In the last analysis upon the character of the average American and believe that this country will go up. because be- lieve that in the future the average character of our average citizen will be as 1t has In the past"

 get away.
 Communication is still going on with
 the Mississippi authorities and there
 is reason to believe that they will
 shortly enable Dr. White to open a
 can.p through which people may en-
 ter points in that State.
 One of the curious incidents of the
 day was an incipient strike of en-
 ployes of the citizens sanitary depart
 ment. It occurred in the Thirteenth
 Ward. Heretofore there have been as
 many men applying for jobs as could
 be taken care of. They were glad to
 work for $1.50 a day. The Thirteenth
 Ward force. however. believed 1t saw
 an opportunity to obtain a"raise; they struck for g. The citizens com
 mittee refused to pay more and new force was engaged.
 Larder We'll Stocked. Through donations the emergency hospital has now a larder completely
 stocked with delicacies and other sup
 plies. Champagne. medicinal waters, elixirs. etc.. have been given in large quantities and with the best of phy-
 sicians available doing service thel the patients are receiving better care than Is obtainable in many private
 homes.
 The City Council at its meeting to-
 day authorized Mayor Behrman to borrow s60.000 from the fiscal agents to assist in meeting the present emergency. Ten thousand dollars Is 10 be used in carrying on the street clehn- ing work in which the city is engaged and the other $50,000 is to go to the fund asked by the Government. Thoug l not quite $250.00o has been raised, all the money is available than can be used | by pr. White and his force for weeks Tn view of the fact that twenty days | have elapsed since the case of fever at Bunkie. in Avoyelles Parish. was dis covered. and no other cases have de- | veloped. the State Board of Health to- | day raised the quarantine against that place. This Is the first case of out side infection which developed and | which has been absolutely stamped out. The quarantine situation in the State
 is steadily improving owing to the re- | alization on the part of the local boards | that the law prevents them from ex- l ceeding the State Board regulations. | The announcement that members of the i local boards were liable to damages and I that If necessary to break up these un- | reasonable quarantines troops would be placed on the trains. has had a good | effect. The action of the Postoffice De- | partment in announcing that such places as refused to receive mail would | have the postoffices discontinued has l also had a salutary effect.
