East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-21

There are mighty few young people
who go into marriage with any real
idea of what It means. They get their
notion of 1t from among the clouds
where they live while they are en-
gagged, and naturally about all theJ
find up there is wind and moonshine,
or from novels which always end
just before the real trouble begins. o..
II they keep on, leave out the chapters
that tell how the husband finds the
rent and the wife the hired girls. But
II there's one thing In the world about
which it's possible to get all the facts
it's matrimony. Part of them are
right in the house where you were
born, and the neighbors have the rest.
It's been my experience that you've
got TO have leisure to be unhappy.
Half the troubles In this word are
imaginary, and It takes time to think
them up. But It's these oftensr than
the real troubles that break a young
husbands back or young wifs's
heart
A few men and more women can b
happy idle when they're single, but
once you marry them to each other
they've got to find work or they'll md
trouble. Everybody's got to raise some
thing in this world, and unless people
raise job or crops or children they'n
raise Cain. You can ride three miles
on the trolley car to the stockyards ev-
cry morning and find happiness at the
end Of the trip, but you may chase It
all over the world in a steam yacht
without catching up with 1t. A wom-
an can find fun from the basement to
the nursery OF her own house, but give
her a license to CAD the streets and =
bunch of matinee tickets and shs'n
find discomfort. There's always an
idle woman or an idle man in every
divorce case. When the man earns The
bread In the sweat Of his brow IT'S
right that the woman should perspirs
little baking it.

A POOR INGREDIENT

A good cook, good wife and good
job win make good home anywhere,
but you add your mother-in-law and
the first thing you know you've got
two homes, and one Of them is being
run on alimony.
You want to remember that beside
your mother-in-law you're compara-
tive stranger to your wife. After you
and Helen have lived together for a
year you ought to be SO well aequaint-
ed that she'n begin TO believe that you
know almost as much as mamma. But

When a young wife starts house
keeping with her mother too handy it's
like running business with new
manager and keeping the old one along
to see how things go. It's not in hu.
man nature that the old manager, even
with the best disposition in the world.
shouldn't knock the new one little,
and you're Helen's new manager.
When l want to make a change l go
about 1t like a crab-get rid Of the
old shell first and then plunge right in
and begin to do business with the new
skin. 1t may be a little tender and
open to attack at first, but 1t doesn't
take long to tougher up when 1t finds
out that the responsibility Of protect
ing my white meat Is on it.-From

sCALPER FACES Law
Seattle Broker on Charge Of Unlawful
Iy Selling Ticket.

The fight of railroad and other trans
portation corporations against ticket
scalpers in Washington under the law
passed by the last legislature began
in Seattle Tuesday when complaint
was issued by Prosecuting Attorney
Macintosh against Hugh j. O'Neill, a
ticket broker in the employ of A. B. c.
Denniston, the resident agent for A.
Ottinger, who has offices at els Front
avenue. The specific charge is that
O'Neill sold for SO a ticket from Seattle
to Spokane over the Great Northern
railway, when O'Neill did not have
posted conspicuously in mis- place Of
business a certificate or written au-
thorization by the railroad company
that he was the company's regularly
appointed ticket agent. This is the
way the railroad companies expect to
put the scalpers out of business in this
state. The case is the first to be
brought under the law.
The loser will carry the case to the
superior court, and from there to the
supreme court to nave it's constitution
atty passed upon.

HOMELESS LITTLE wAIf
Freddie ConkIin Given Quarters at
County Jail for Few Days.

Little Freddie Conklin, who says that
his father has treated him so cruelty
that he has been compelled to leave
his home east of Walla Walla and
make mis- own way in the world, was
picked up by Officer Casey yesterday
and given quarters at the county Jail
until some disposition of his case can
be made. Officer Casey found the boy
sleeping in the hayloft at the Mcbride
stable yesterday. The little fellow said
that his mother is in New York and
that his father beat him so that he
Just had to leave home. The officer
took the boy to a restaurant and
bought him mis- breakfast and after
ward took him to the county Jail until
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson can look
after his case. The young lad says he
is only II years of age. He said that
his father lives six miles east of Walla
Walla. The boy left home a week ago
but the father so far mas not solicited
the efforts of the authorities to locate
mis- son.

TEACHERS AND HOLIDAYS
Can Collect Salary for Days When
Not Compelled to Teach School.

The question which has arisen in
probably every school district in the
state as to the deduction of teachers
wages for legal holidays during which
school is dismissed was the subject of
an opinion given by the attorney gen.
eral today. He holds that a teacher
cannot be required to teach on Thanks
giving, Christmas and New Years or
the Fourth of July, and that no deduc-
ton of salary shall be made; that it is
discretionary with the directors as to
whether school is held on Decoration
Day, Washington's birthday or any
other legal holiday designated by law
or by the executive but that the teach
ers are not entitled to pay for such
days unless school is taught.

The new theater being erected by
DR.. H. R. Keylor will probably be
named The Walla Walla.' Both Cal
vim Helig and John Cort, who will be
lessees Of the new playhouse, are in
favor of naming the theater after
Walla Walla, believing that by SO do
ing the Garden City will receive the
benefit of much advertising through
the big eastern tneaterical papers.
The name is distinctive and appro-
pirate and will probably be decided
upon at an early date. Work on the

as the contractors are able to push
matters and will be ready for the open
ing of the theatrical season by Sep

JURY DECIDES THAT HE DID NOT
STEAL MONEY FROM
MATTHEW'S.
Case Submitted by Defense Without
Introducing Evidence on Part Of
Accused Man.
Accused Man.

1t took the jury just Is minutes late
yesterday afternoon to decide that
Clint Buchanan was not guilty Of the
charge of stealing $500 from Lou Mat
thews, the Snake river farmer. The
defense did not introduce any evidence
whatever and the case was submitted
to the jury after a brief argument by
the attorneys. Owing to the fact that
it was at one time alleged that Blu
chanan was responsible for poison be-
ing placed in food that Matthews had
prepared for a Sunday dinner, and
which resulted in severe illness on the
part of the aged farmer, the case at
tracted much attention and a large
number of farmers from the fiat were
spectators at the trial.
Lou Matthews, the complainant in
the case was the first witness placed
on the stand. His testimony was along
the line that he gave at Bucnanan's
preliminary examination held in APP
ril. He told of giving Buchanan $3.50
along in February to purchase a wind
mill and how Buchanan had appropri-
ated the money to his own use. On the
day that he was poisoned, Buchanan,
he said visited his place and drank
some tea that sat on the table. He
stayed but a few minutes. At noon
Matthews said he went to eat his din
ner of meat and other food he had
cooked up, and noticed that every
thing tasted bitter. He went to the
when he was seized with dizziness and
fell to the ground. He lay there seven
hours calling for help before E.
Kruze, a railroad Waterman, came to
his aid. Kruze, he said, placed him
on a mattress and left him. That
night Buchanan came back, and along
about midnight he heard Buchanan
go to the rear of the henhouse and
take a cache of over $500 in gold
Wn1cn was In a TIN can.
Matthews said that while he lay on
the ground sick, Buchanan came to
him and told him that as ne was like
ly to die, that he had better straighten
out his business. Matthews said that
he then told Buchanan that there was
$500 buried under the table at the end
Of the hen house, which was about 80
feet from the house. That night Mat
thews said, he heard Buchanan go to
the henhouse and take the money. He
could plainly hear the rattle of the
gold against the tin can it was buried
in. Matthews, on cross examination,
said ne told no one that Buchanan had
stolen his money, as he was afraid ne
would get done up.
Meat Killed Kruse's Dog.
E. Kruse, the railroad Waterman,
that while ministering to Matthews as
he lay on the ground, his dog, which
had followed MIN to the Matthews
ranch, found some meat near the door
and three minutes after eating it, died
in commissions as if poisoned. The
meat was what Matthews had thrown
out Sunday noon. Kruse said he knew
his dog had died Of poison, as he had
seen many dogs poisoned and knew the
symptoms. Kruse said Buchanan was
the one that notified him that some

Praise for The Country Pres.

One of the finest tributes to the
country newspapers that has ever
been rendered was contained in d
recent address by Senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew, before the New
York Press Association at Man
haitian Beach. Mr.. DepeW said:
!" / pay my respects to and express
my admiration for the country
newspaper and the country editor.
His lines are not cast-in places of
the great and profitable organs Of
the metropolis, whose profits are
reekoned often by hundreds of
thousands of dollars every year.
But the country editor lives in
and is part of his community.
His virtue is not so much in what
he prints as what he refuses to
print. He could easily destroy
the peace Of the community by adj
hitting to his paper the scandals
and gossip of the neighbors. But
he stands as a censor and guard
ian Of public morals, and / know
of no conditions under which the
public is appealed to in a certain
measure where the utterance is so
free from criticism as the general
tone OF the country press. !"
