the superior class of citizenship o
Cmatilla and Morrow counties, it ma!
be said that during the entire week o

in the city, although the attendance
at the fair reached 10000.

Cavalry Horses Scarce.

Government buyers who have been
in the interior of oregon in search of
several carloads of cavalry horses,
have returned with but three head.
Formerly 1t was an easy matter to pur-
chase from one to 10 carloads of good
cavalry horses in the interior coun-
ties within a short time. but horses
are so scarce and high priced now
that the government buyers return
empty handed. The class of horses
wanted by the government for cavalry
service are now worth from 500 to
$125 per head in Grant, Umatilla
Morrow and Malheur counties, and
the government will not pay these
prices for them.

Highly Appreciated by 500 Persons ut
the Pavilion.

the Pavilion.
Last evening a half thousand PEN
dleton lovers of music listened to the
sacred concert given at the fair pa
vilion by De Caprio's band, and 1t is
doubtful II anything better was ever
given within the city All through
the program which lasted from 7:45
until 10 o'clock, the large audience
listened eagerly to the playing and
almost every number was encored.
Perhaps the most popular number
Of the evening was the baritone solo,
THE Holy City," played by Signor De
Caprio himself. The solo was one
that had been looked forward to by
many, and when the talented leader
came forward to play he was warmly
greeted and acknowledged the COM
pliment with a graceful bow. The
rendition of the piece justified the in
terest shown and brought forth an
encore.
That Ben Driscoll Is a cornet solo
ist of rare ability was again proven
last evening when he played Shubert
serenade and in responding to the
encore, "The Last Rose of Summer"
The playing of Mr.. Driscoll through
out the past week was highly appre-
ciated.
BY request special selection was
played last evening just before the
last number. 1t was a fantasia, my
Old Kentucky Home" and the feat
ure was the baritone playing by A. L.
Wennerstorm, who was so well ap-
preciated Thursday evening when he
played in the duet from al Trova-
tore"
The last number of the sacred con-
cert was "The Star Spanglcd Banner"
which was played with all present
standing and with many barred heads.
This morning the De Caprio band
left for Walla Walla, where it will
play during the week at the fair given

Wilson soon after left the city and
Mrs. Phillips said she became con-
WINGED that his intentions were not
honorable when she received no an
swer to her letters and was convinced
that her girl had been misled. This
in spite of the fact that Wilson had
frequently prayed with the family
when calling there and had said at
his last appearance that he would re-
turn when God opened the way"
On or about August / Mrs. Phillips
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
the said Otto A. Wilson, but up to
date the same has not been served
and from all appearances it would
seem that the Eau Claire county au-
thorities are becoming very delin-
quent in the discharge of official
duties.
Wilson's home is in Redwood Falls,
MIMI, and he was last heard from in
Valley City, N. D. Either locality
is easy access and the failure of the
sheriff at Eau Claire county to bring
him back here where it is believed
he would make amends by marrying
the young girl whom he betrayed is
the subject of much comment among
the friends of the injured family.

the chrome numorlsts. and has ended
in tragedy. At sale of dishpans here
today, 1000 women damned themselves
so closely together in small store
that the horrors of the black hole of
Calcutta were repeated. Two of them
were fatally and seven others danger
ously injured in the panic-stricken
struggling for fresh air.
The store, which stands at the cor
ner of Seventh and Felix streets, had
announced sale of kitchen utensils at
enticing reductions in price, and before
it opened for business this morning
hundreds of women were waiting on
the sidewalk for the first chance at
the bargains. When the doors were
unlocked there was a mad rush for
the interior. A flying wedge of women
huddled themselves at the entrance,
shrieking, scuffling and pulling each
others hair. The place was carried
by storm, and plate glass front win
dow was smashed by the crowd.
The proprietor then sent in a riot
call, but the policemen who responded
to it were not able to restore order
among the mob of housewives, pas
sionate in their desire to save few
pennies on the dollars. The store was
soon packed with customers, while the
women on the outside fought to
squeeze themselves into the jam. The
temperature inside the store rose to

SAD STORY Of Love
UNREQu|TED IS

Wisconsin Sheriff Hunting for

Eau Claire Telegram: A sad case of
unrequited love was called to the at
tention of the authorities recently.
The facts in the case are that about
the first of April a young man giving
his name as Otto A. Wilson. while in
the employ of the Salvation Army and
making rounds for them, went to the
house of Mr.. and Mrs. M. Phillips, who
live near the city limits. Here he met
their daughter Ruth.
The result was a case of love at
first sight. Wilson, who is young
man of prepossessing appearance, ask
ed for the hand of the young
daughter, and this request was not
denied. The mother, like all others,
had a sharp eye for. such things, and
upon inquiring of young Wilson wheth-
er his intentions were honorable. was
for him in this wide, wide world. The
young lady reciprocated Wilson's ar
dent attentions. and the love AFFAIR
was allowed to speed merrily on its
way.
When Mrs. Phillips made inquiries
Of Wilson he not only answered all
her questions but gave her a large
part of his past history, stating that
he had at one time been reporter
for New York paper at a salary OF
$3.50 a month, was on intimate terms
of acquaintance with Roosevelt, Edi-
son and other we'll known men and
had once dined with the president.
The result was that Mrs. Phillips was
SO much impressed she said she
thought the Lord was sending them
a son-in-law far too good for them.
Well, at any rate, the love affair
was allowed to speed merrily and
young Wilson called frequently at his
fiancee's home. The all important
question was asked in due time and
the wedding was set for June I.
But as in all true love affairs
things began to run not so smoothly,
especially when young Wilson's MEM
DRY was logged on the subject of
preparations for the wedding day.
One thing that seemed to bother him
greatly, said Mrs. Phillips, was the
question of getting marriage license.
Mr.. Phillips, however, offered to go
along and see that this part of the
ceremony would be carried out with
out trouble even though the girl was
under age.
Suddenly one day about the middle
of May Wilson determined that the
wedding must take place at once. so
the wedding day was changed to May
2Sth.
Mrs. Phillips says she went ahead
and made all the necessary prepare.
