A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Story of N swsboy Who Wanted to Bs
OhIaed With q Match.

-
A small newsboy who had made
the find Of a half finished cigar on
the pavement stepped into small
shop to obtain match.
Say, give us a match, will you"
he asked of the woman behind the
counter.
SWe don't give matches; we sell
them,'' she replied.
''IIow much 2"
"a cent box"
One dirty hand went into his
pocket, brought out a penny and
placed it on the counter.
S'Give me box
The box was purchased. With a
grave air the small boy took it.,
drew out a match, struck a light
with all the grace possible and puff
ed energetically upon the discarded
cigar stub. Then, leaning conf
dentially across the counter, he ex-
tended the box Of matches to the
woman and said:
s'Say, you jest take this box of
matches, will yer, and put it in
some place where you can lay hands
on it easy, and when some other
gentleman steps in and asks for a
light don't sell him a match; give
him one on me-" And with a lord
ly nod the young American made
his way back to the street.-Lippin-

The Popular "Chaperons,"

No musical comedy ever written has
become so universally popular among
all classes of theater-goers as Isa-
dore Witmarks successful piece,

at the Keylor Grand theater tomor-
row evening. The production has
always been yept at the very top
most notch of excellence as regards
company, equipment and stage man.
agement, fact which no doubt mas
much to do with the remarkable vi
tally of the peace. The production
this season is even more elaborate
than ever before-an entire new dress
of scenery has been painted and a
costly new wardrobe provided, while
the company has been described as
one of the best musical organizations
in America. The sale of seats is now
progressing at the theater box office.

President Roosevelt has a way of
hitting the nail on the head. When
Senator Hepburn sent him some clip
pings from newspapers which limited
20 the president that the forest re-
serve polity of the government was
hurting the republican party in some
places the president replied: when
l can properly play to political inter-
ests I will do so, but I viii not con-
sent for one moment to sacrifice the
interests of the people as a whole tc
real or fancied interests of any in
dividual or any political faction" The
fact of the matter is that the forest
| reserve policy hurts some individuals
and makes trouble for some local poll
-icians, but it happens that we have
a president who can look ahead ant
see benefit to all the people in it ant
| this is motive enough for him.

REYNOLDS will say that he made his
maximum charge to get even with
the Statesman for charging more
than five times what he was willing
to pay for the publication of his
legal notice. Revenge is inconsistent
with a religion which teaches that
one smitten on one cheek should
turn the other for biff. Old Peck
sniff might have found excuses in
his sophistry and hypocrisy for pro-
Tossing the meekness and lowliness
of the Saviour and at the same time
practicing the business methods
of a Snylock, but certainly the i'm
maculate Allen Reynolds, the para
gon of moral excellence and Chris
tan practice, would not entertain
ideals so base.
If anyone else but the pre- eminently
good and moral Allen Reynolds were
to make such charges for messenger
service under the guise of law prac-
tice he would run the risk of being
called a shyster, "snitch," a CRATER
or a pettifogger, but Of course no one
would think of applying such terms
of opprobrium to the professed local
prototype of the perfect man. Like
the great and good John D. Rockefel-
Ter, Mr. Reynolds probably looks 1or-
ward to the day when he can use
some of the tainted money secured
by such methods in promoting CHRIS
tan institutions for the betterment OF
his fellow men.

A PAIR OF PECKSNIFFS.

IF there is one thing better cal =
culated than another to make man
of President Roosevelt's frank honesty
bonnine mad it is the sort Of Peck
sniffian support he is getting from
certain republican senators. In Ohlo'
Foraker is whooping it up for the re-
publican state ticket on the alleged
ground that if it is defeated it Will
look like a reflection upon the admin
istration. In Massachusetts the pue-
rile Lodge is hawking up and down
tne state the same refrain.
This kind of insincere push has
tendency to make the president and
the vast majority of the republicans
of the country very weary when they
know that the only effective OPPOSE
ton to any ideas the president may
have on statecraft comes from the
republican side of the United States
senate.
If Lodge and Foraker are so very
anxious to support the president, why
do not they begin in the senate?
Lodge knitted the president in the mat
ter of the arbitration treaties, and
Foraker has been actively engaged IN
postponing railroad legislation. Both
Of them have the right and the priv
ilege of opposing the president and
voting against his recommendations
but the president also has some rights.
He has the right to protest against
these two men in OHIO and Massachu-
setts The cry that it is necessary to
stand firm and indorse the president
is an inpujent pretense when it comes
from men who have done nothing but
belittle the president So far as they
could. So far as the president is con-
cerned the people of Massachusetts
and Ohio could indorse him better by
retiring a certain brand of republic
cans from office than in almost any
other way.
There should be some way of bring
ing it to the attention of the voters in
this off year that it is not the president
who is seeking indorseme1t, the peo-
pie attended to that year ago, but
the senatorial junta composed of such
men as Lodge, Foraker, Aldrich, Platt
PenroSe, and others VINO have little
sympathy with the president and none
with the legitimate aspirations of
| their party.

CAMP is ATTACKED.
"Soothsayers" Hurt In Combat With
Residents In Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. A camp of
itinerant Scotch fortunetellers in
Greenfield, near this city, was at
tackled and the occupants So roughly
handled that one woman sustained Sc.
rious injuries and another woman and
man will be confined to their beds
for some time.
The injured are: Marguerite Drum
mond, aged 40, severe conclusion Of
the brain and scalp wound, with bruises
on body, serious; Alexander Drum
mond, aged %, hole in forehead, head
and body bruised; Anna Drummond, a
scalp wound and body bruises.
The Scotch people have been carry
ing on their work in this vicninty for
some time and at the last camping
place became involved in numerous
quarrels and personal encounters with
Mr.. RAINBOW, who lives near the grove
in which the fortunetellers had pitched
their tents.
Ramlow's son and Frank Geiger, a
companion, listened to a recital of the
wrongs alleged to have been practiced
on the father, and in their wrath de-
termined to wipe out the hignlanders
camp. Clubs and other missiles were
procured, and after a well-planned
flank movement a sudden attack was
made and the occupants, taken COM
pletely by surprise, were Worsted.
The two men who planned and exc
cuted the attack are now in Jail,
where no charge will be preferred I'M
til the outcome of Marguerite Drum
monds injuries are known.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
PECKSNIFF AND SHYLOCK OUT
DONE

Six months ago the Statesman pub
lisned for Attorney Allen H. Reynolds
a legal notice of 10 inches which
was run in six issues and for which
a bill of $3.50 was rendered. When
the bill was presented to him Attor-
ney Reynolds rendered five dollars in
payment, complaining that the charge
was excessive. In fact the rate
charged Reynolds was no more than
is paid by local merchants for adver-
by the city and county for the pub
LEGATION of notices.
prietor of the Statesman, paid Mr.
Reynolds as attorney for the Far
mers' Saving Bank a fee of s221.33
for merely nominal services in con-
nectiOn with the foreclosure of a
mortgage of $221333, including in
terest, held by the bank Nearly all
the papers in the proceedings, in
Guiding the decree of the court, were
prepared by Mr. Hollands attorney
c. NJ. RAIDER. The only service per-
formed by Attorney Reynolds was to
walk to the county clerks office and
file a complaint prepared by himself.
The at oil
ed by law is 10 per cent of the face
of the mortgage, and Reynolds like
Shylock, demanded the fulfillment of
the law to the last cent and the last
pound of flesh. Reynolds got his money
but the Statesman's bill for publish
ing his legal notice is still unpaid and
will probably remain unsettled un-
til payment is enforced in court.
For walking to the court house, about
four blocks, Attorney Reynolds charges
$22I.33. A messenger boy would have
done the same service for Is cents.
Mr.. Reynolds poses as one Of the
founders of the Y. M. c. A. in this
city and as an exemplar of Chris
tan belief and practice. He is a pro-
fessed believer in the golden rule laid
down by his Master DO We unto
Others as We would that they should
do unto you" Ostensibly he spurns
the modern rule of David Harum
DO to the other fellow what he is
trying to do to you and do it first
Perhaps Mr.. Reynolds can ex-
plain TO the young men OF
the Y. M. c. A, who look
upon him as a model of purity, good
ness and uprightness, how he squares
the golden rule with his refusal to
pay Mr.. Hollands moderate bill OF
$3.50 for printing a legal notice OF
nineteen inches six times, while he
charges Mr. Holland s221.33 fol
walking four blocks to the county
clerks office
One plausible explanation Nigh

enough to cover his expenses during
his long period of idleness. Such
charge for running an errand is liza

FROM NORTHWEST PAPERS
Firs+ Snow of the Season,

During the heavy rainstorm that
visited this section of the county, the
weather suddenly turned cold and be-
fore it could be realized, snow was
falling. The snow was very soft and
did not remain on the graund any
length Of time.
The sudden cold weather will not
have any bad effect on the wheat, as
the harvest is practically completed
and most all of the grain has either
been shipped to the warehouses for
the markets, or has been stored in the
local granaries for late shipment.
The recent rains are great benefit
to the entire community, as they have
softened the ground to a great degree
and put it in an excellent condition
for fall blowing. Many farmers are
now preparing for their fall work,
while those that were little in ad-
vance, have already begun.-Lewis-
ton Tribune, Clio correspondence

Fined for Gambling at Sumpter.

A rumOr that several of the Sump-
ter saloonmen were operating "21'
games for the benefit of their patrons
and making no pretense of keeping the
fact a secret, came to the ears of
Sheriff Brown last week, and so, on
Thursday he made a quiet little trip to
that neck of the woods to investigate
the true state Of affairs.
On his arrival after looking quietly
around and investigating, he located
a game of "21" in full blast in the
Capital saloon. Coming in suddenly
and without any warning to the occu-
pants of the mouse, he discovered two
men seated in the rear of the saloon
enjoying their little game. Frank
Weir was dealer, and one James Nc
Gee, was the victim. Both were placed
under arrest by Sheriff Brown for
gambling and brought before Justice OF
the Peace Allen, where after a brief
investigation of their offense, the
judge fined the dealer, Frank Weir, the
sum of $50, and James MCGEE, the
minimum sum of SIS.
The sheriff states as far as ne was
able to learn no other games We're
going on in Sumpter.-Baker City

R,o,vn 70 Pieces in the Air.

Prof. A. Baldwin, an airship exhibitor,
was blown to atoms by the explosion o.
six sticks of dynamite in his balloon while
/. 500 feet in the air at Greenyille, Ohio,
Yesterday. His wife and two children
were in the crowd of %, 600 persons who

Baldwin had been giving daily exhi-

ascend several thousand feet in the air
and explode half a dozen sticks OF dyna-
mite at different times. Yesterday he had
mounted 800 feet in the air, and his
airship was soaring gracefully.
While the thrilled crowd, with heads
upturned, were watching him, there ap-
peared in the sky where the airship had
been great cloud Of smoke. A few sec
onds later there came down greet boom

view. and fragments of the airshiP began
falling. Baldwin had literally been
blown to bits by the explosion. His body
was picked up from space OF several
acres and removed to morgue.
Daldwin's wife screamed when she saw
the smoke, long before the explosion, for
her practiced eve told her of the tragedy
which had occurred in the clouds. She
fell in a dead faint Before the vast crowd
had realized what was happening.

The spread of cholera from two Iocali-
