UNDERWENT OPERATION.
w. 0. Trine in Portland Hospital
Reported Doing Well.

Physical Director Trine, who
went to San Francisco last week for
medical treatment, is in a Portland
hospital. He underwent a serious
surgical operation at noon Monday
having been for two and half
hours under the surgeons knife.
A note received at the Times Office
from Mrs. Trine a few minutes be-
fore press hour relates that Mr.
Trine has rallied from the opera
ton and that he is doing we'll,
though the danger is not passed.
It appears that the trip was made
to San Francisco, that city being
reached Wednesday evening. Thurs
day morning a specialist was con-
suited, and he declared that he
could do nothing, and advised Mr..
Trine to come home and take the
operation formerly proposed by the
Portland surgeon. Portland was
reached Saturday, and the opera
ton performed Monday as related
above.

SIX MONTHS FOR MITCHELL.
And a Fine of One Thousand Dol
ars-Sentenced Yesterday by
Judge DeHayen.

Portland, July 25.-In the feder-
al court today, Judge DeHaven
pronounced sentence on Senator
Mitchell. The decree of the court
is that the venerable senator pay
fine of $1,000 and that he be con-
fined for six months in the Multi
nomah county Jail. Judge DELAY
en-, in passing sentence, said he had
no option under the law but to i'm
pose sentence of both fine and i'm
prisonment. An appeal is being
taken to the United States supreme
court. Sentence will be suspended
until final decision is reached.
Under existing conditions it is
probable that Senator Mitchelrs ap-
peal to the supreme court will be
decided within a year. Until a de-
cision is rendered he will continue
to draw his salary as United States
senator, but if the judgment of the
trial court should be sustained his
seat will thereupon become vacant.
If, on the other hand, the judg-
ment should be reversed, the case
will be remanded for new trial.
Senator Mitcheil's term docs not ex-
pire until 1907.

IN THE COUNTRY.
For the day-Disporting out Of Town
Something an Observer saw.

1t seemed evident that things
were doing among the town dogs.
Six of them passed up Adams
street, and out westward with such
an air of business Sunday morning
that pedestrian stopped to watch
them. There was big black dog
at the head, and all followed at the
pace he set. A little white chap
with a long coat brought up the
rear. and all moved on with an air
as though each and all understood
whittier they were journeying and
what the errand. :
1t made the observer wonder if
there was canine Sunday picnic
on hand. and what was to be the
list of ceremonies. This query
was emphasized when suddenly a
little brown dog, block to the rear
came hurrying swiftly along in the
effort to catch up with the main
bunch. Strangely enough, too,
block behind him, appeared an
other be1ated member of the party,
little white chap, all out of breath
and sprinting with a desperate
stride in his effort to catch the 9th
er picnickers. In the main bunch.
every tail was wagging, every dog
was trotting straight ahead for the
country, anxious apparently to
reach the destination before the sun
got too hot.
Out on another street, carriage
load OF people, bound for the coun.
try for the day, journeyed along,
though in a different direction. As
the observer took in the situation,
he wondered cLriously, whether il
would be the people or the CANNES
that would have the best time as the
result of,--the day out of town.

NONE TO CLAIM IT.
Charley Towers Burial 1ot-Died
Pauper but got Decent Interment.

There is curious fact connected
with the death and burial Of the
late Charles Tower. Nobody
knows to whom to deed his lot in
the graveyard. He had been in
Corvallis for forty years. He had
built fire places and chimneys and
aues during all those years, and
plastered houses, but he never told
anybody of relatives he had, if any
there were. He died in the poor
house without suit of clothes for
his cold clay to go to the grave in,
without casket or money to buy
it with, without anything in the
world but reputation for being
honest and for doing honest work.
All these things, however, came to
old Charley, after he had winked
out. He wasn't buried in the pot
ter's field, but went into a grave in
a burial lot that was all his own,
and which was purchased by Cor
vallisites from a contribution for
the purpose. Undertaken Wilkins
led in the movement, supplying the
casket, clothing and other conven-
fences, while Z. H. Davis, Chiet
Lane and other citizens provided
other necessities. It may be the
money that makes the man, and
still it isn't always the money, but
good old fashioned citizenship thai
gives dead pauper decent burial.

Bride Drowned.

In the presence of party of friends,
who had spent most of the night cele-
brating her marriage, which took place
Sunday, Mrs. Della Ahern, of New
York, early yesterday lost her life by
drowning. Her husband, who was
within a few feet of the spot where the
tragedy occurred, was ignorant of bis
brides plight until it was too late to
save her life. Mrs. Ahern, who was 80
years old, was with her husband, Capt.
Patrick Ahern, and party Of friends on
Captain Ahern's barge, which was an
chored in the Hudson river. The festi-
yities continued until early yesterday,
and when the visitors made preparation
to leave the barge il was intensely dark.
As she stood at the side of the vessel,
bidding her friends good night, Mrs.
Ahern missed her footing and plunged
into the river. Michael Creegan, who
was standing beside her, saw the woman
fall, and at once jumped TO her assis-
lance. The splash made by the two
bodies was almost simultaneous, but
when Captain Ahern and a policeman
looked into the river only Creegsn was
in sight. They quickly pulled him out
of the water, but when he was able to
tell them the reason for his plunge the
woman's body could not be found.

Corporation Commission Troubles.

A. S. Lanier, assistant clerk of the
Corporation Commission, whose resigna-
ton was asked for and who refused to
resign, yesterday replied to the state
ment of Judge B. B. Crump, chairman
of the Corporation Commission.
Major Lanier charges that the request
for his resignation was not on account OF
the differences and incompatibility be-
tween him and the chief clerk. John A.
Upshur, but because Judge Crump own
ed share of stock in his enterprise
the Virginia Corporation Company
and did not want the other members OF
the Cooperation Commission to know it.
Judge Crump declared that he took
the share OF stock out of friendship for
Lanier, and thought nothing more about
1t or the bearing it might have upon the
work of the Corporation Commission,
and claimed that the differences between
Upshur and Lanier were adequate for
the removal of the latter.
Major Lanier replies to this as follows:
"But this not the truth, Judge Crump.
1t was not out of any tender regard for
me. but because you owned stock in the
Virginia Corporation Company and did
not want that fact brought to the knowl-
edge of your own colleagues in the com
mission. You permitted me to stand up
hefore the commission at The informal
hearing that was had and bear the bur-
den and responsibility of this company,
with no word from me as to your con-
nection with it, and you sat in silence
and your colleagues never knew of our
connection with this company until |
brought it to their attention in my reti-
lion asking to be heard on the questions
at issue after the request for mysAsesigna-
ton.
"WbiIe this company has a very
broad charter, its primary purposes, and
the only ones exercised by it, are to rep
resent existing corporations, performing
for them the various duties the law ex-
acts from them and procuring charters
and organizing corporations for persons
who may desire to incorporate their bust.
ness"
Lanier will institute $40, 900 damage
suit against John A Upshur on account
of the charge made by Upshur.
Judge Crump is regarded as a man of
high character.
