A LITTLE NONSENSE.
His Defense of Women as Humorists
Goes to Smash.

A party of men, among whom was
Colonel William Jennings Bryan,
were one night waiting for a train
in depot hotel in small Missouri
town. The landlady was the only
woman present.
The talk turning upon the alleged
inability of women to see the point
of joke as readily as do the men,
Mr.. Bryan took the ground that a
sense of humor was as much a part
of the feminine makeup as it was
that of man, but that it merely
lacked opportunity for development.
''1'o illustrate" said he, stake the
story Of the party of excursionists
in the lEgcan sea. When approach
ing the Grccian coast the party as
sembled about the rails to enjoy the
beautiful scenery. One lady turned
inquiringly to a gentleman at her
right and said:
"FWhat is that white off there on
the horizon?'
""I'hat is the snow on the noun
tains,' replied the gentleman ad-
dressed.
"'Well, that's funny she replied.
My husband said it was grease
All of the men in the group
laughed noisily at Mr.. Bryan's story,
but the landlady looked puzzled. FL
nally she said:
"But, Mr.. Bryan, how did the
grease get on the mountain ?"
Mr.. Bryan at once dropped the
defense Of women as born humor-
ists.-Lippincott's Magazine,

WRONG PARTY CASHED CHECK
Unfortunate Incident at Athena May
Have Serious Result.

Athena Ore, oct. 11.-(Special.)-
Through the fact that there are two
women in this city with identical
names, trouble has been caused of a
serious nature. and the end is not vet.
one of the women in the case is
Mrs. Dollie Thompson, wife of the
local merchant. and recently her
father, who lives in Missouri, sent her
n check for 500.
The letter receiving the check was
not received by Mrs. Thompson, and
the existence of the check was not
known of by her until some time later
when other letters referring to the
same were received. Upon investiga-
tion it was then learned that the
check had been cashed at the First
National bank of Pendleton. by a
woman of the same name as Mrs
Thompson. The letter containing the
check had evidently been given her
through mistake. which was unavoid-
able. as both women have the same
names.
Efforts are now being Made to Sc
cure the amount of the check for the
rightful Mrs. Thompson, and it is
presumed the matter will be settled
amicably.

MANGLED BY A BLAST.
Workman Engaged In Tunnel Opera
tons Near Kamela.

La Grande, Oct. 1.-THE bleeding
and mangled body of an unknown,
presumably a Swiss, was brought to
this city yesterday afternoon from the
tunnels near Kamela. His wounds
were dressed the best possible by To-
cal physicians, but it was found i'm
perative that he be sent to the hospi-
tai at Portland. He was sent there
last evening but 1t is very likely that
he died before reaching his destina-
tion.
He was employed by the Johnson
Construction company, and was
working with the crew, that is tun-
neling the hills near Kam-ia. 1t ap-
pears that a charge of dynamite had
been placed in hole and was prac-
tically ready to be ignited when the
workman noticed that the hole was
not of suitable size. He forthwith
seized a drill and began enlarging
the cavity about the stick of dyna-
mite. A loose piece of rock dropped
on the stick causing premature ex-
plosion.
He emitted scream of pain while
in the air and when his bruised body
returned to earth his head was a
mass Of blood, dirt and rocks.
He was hurried to La Grande where
the doctors worked over en- hour re.
moving bits of gravel, sand and dir,
from the mans skull, His body was
more or less cut to pieces. The eve
ming train took the body with III

MAY BE FUEL FAMINE.
Salt Lake and Other Cities Have But
Little on Hand.

Coal dealers all over the northwest
are urging their patrons to buy coal
in advance of the heavy demand that
will be inaugurated by the advent of
the first cold snap, in order that they
may be fortified against a temporary
shortage of fuel when it is most need
ed, says the Salt Lake Herald.
ut is being pointed out that not
more than $4,000 tons have been
stored in advance of the demand, as
a result of the application of the stor-
age rate during the summer months.
1.-The average consumption of coal
during the cold weather in Salt Lake
is 10000 tons per month. Thus
there is a supply of coal sufficient to
last nearly six weeks in the event
conditions should arise that would
prevent the importation of fuel from
the mines.
1.-The remarkable development Of
the district including and tributary to
Salt Lake during the last year, will
cause an increase in the demand for
fuel this winter. While dealers have
endeavored to prepare for this m
creased demand they will experience
some difficulty in filling orders when
the rush begins.
This difficulty will be caused by
the shortage of men and teams re-
quired for delivery. The advice of
the dealers is to figure out your coal
needs and order fully two weeks in
advance of the actual need. BY doing
this the dealers will be greatly helped
and no hardship will be worked on
the consumer"

"PARsIFAL" COMING OCT. %.
Wagner's Great Musical Attraction Mt
the Frazer.

"A theatrical announcement that de-
mands more than ordinary attention
is that of Wagner's magnificent spec
tacle Of "Parsifal." This justly cele-
brated play has attained a degree OF
unquestioned success that has sell
dom, If ever, been the fortune of any
other production.
This success has not been accom-
pllshed by any unusual or extraordi-
nary methods. such as occasionally
brings some stage celebrity or produc-
tion into temporary prominence. It's
success and enthusiastic reception by
the better class of theatergoers
everywhere it has been presented, has
been achieved by the dramas intrin-
sic merit and inherent beauty.
This fact, combined with the mas
terly manner i'm which II has been
staged regarding scenery, costuming
and cast. has been the cause of its
splendid success. Nothing that would
in any manner add to its value has
been left undone by its management.
a clever, specially selected cast OF
! principals and an equally clever corps
Of auxiliaries, are used in the produc-
ton. which will be seen at the Frazer
theater. Tuesday. October 23.
This production of "Parsifal" is
marked by the employment Of many
of the Baireuth customs. The COM
mencing time. however, has been
modified. 1t has formerly been the
rule to begin the evening perform-
ance at $50, giving an intermission
of two hours for dinner. This inter-
mission Is now eliminated. and the
! performance will begin at 7:45 sharp
There will be but a five to eight min
ute wait between each act, which Is
required to set the stupendous scehic
! display.
This time will be devoted to Wag-
ner overtures, and the performance
will conclude at IL o'clock. AS al
Baireuth. the imperative rule of the
| spectators being in their seats wher
the curtain rises on the first act will
be in force. as on account OF the tota
darkness of the auditorium none car
be seated during the action of the
play.
ten-minute warning before the
curtain rises will be given In the lobby
entrance by trumpeters who will blow
the notes of the Last Supper motif.
The manager of "Parsifal' was ir
the city last evening and measured
the stage of the Frazer theater and
said positively that the entire scenic
production can be placed on the stage
here, so there will be no doubt about
the beautiful attraction being seer
here in Its entirety.
