WHO DROVE THEM?
A Gray and a Bay Horse? and Got
Hay From the Bndine Warehouse.

Who was the driver of a Gray
horse and a bay horse when call
was made the other morning at the
Bodine warehouse? That is what
w. M. Dinges wants to know.
Three bales of good hay went off
with that gay and that bay horse,
and without the leave or the knowl-
edge of the owner of the warehouse.
The call was made at seveu o.
clock in the morning. Mr.. Dinges
had opened the house, and returned
to his home on an errand. AS he
approached ths warehouse on the
return, he heard team and wagon
that seemed to be driving rapidly
away. He made haste to reach the
place, but Hsd to pass through the
building and out on the other side
to get view of the vanishing team.
He got out in time to see at some
distance, just turning east a gray
and bay horse, attached to wagon
with three bales of hay in the wag-
on. Mr.. Dinges has since learned
from another man that the hay was
loaded from the warehouse into the
wagon, but he did not know the
owner of the outfit. Mr.. Dinges
wants to know, az we'll as an eX-
planation of why the haste, and
why the hay was taken without
leave.

Tomorrow night there will be a
minstrel performance at the Opera
House. On the outside during
most or all the performance, there
will be a congregation of half doz-
on to two dozen boys. Four or
FIVE of them will be not more than
a dozen years of age. Of course
they either ought to be ms de the
show or inside their homes. More
of the boys will be IS or 1o years.
They, too, ought to be inside the
show or at home. The condition
is one for parents to think about,
1t is one for councilmen to think
about. 1t is one for the police to
think about. 1t is condition that
ought to be abated, for mischief
breeds at just such gatherings.

CAN'T SELL IT NOW.
Cider That Warmed the Boys up
Contained Twice as Much Alcohol
as Does Beer.

Champagne cider that has been
on sale by the drink at the Gem
cigar store has been put under the
ban by the city authorities, and its
sale ordered discontinued. The
suspicious of the officers were arous-
ed by observing occasional drunks.
and little attention developed the
fact that much of the intoxication
came from the cider. The wide
popularity of the drink also excited
more or less curiosity. 1t was no.
ticed that minors as we'll as men
carried it around in their pockets
in pint TASKS, after the fashion of
pure and una dulterated booze. At
last man was found who was cor
yide'' as the boys call first class
case Of drunkenness and the cider
was located as the cause. A bottle
of it was taken to the chemists at
the college and an analysis showed
it to contain 7.32 per cent alcohol,
or more than twice as much
as beer, more than the light
wines, and about one-sixth as much
as whiskey straight. AS soon as
the report of the chemist was re-
ceived Chief Lane Immediately is
sued orders, and the stuff has been
withdrawn from sale.
1t is manufactured by a soft
drink establishment in Salem, and
it is the belief of the officers that it
is especially prepared for dry towns.

FOR SEWER CONNECTIONS.
Ordinances and Penalties-Movemen
for Enforcement of Connections.

A stiff ordinance, providing for
connections with sewers
was passed bv the city council at
meeting Monday night. 1t pro-
vides certain requirements that
must be observed in making con-
nections, and establishes a penalty
for violations of its terms. 1t is
supplemental to a former ordin-
ance on the same subject, and its
passage leaves the citizen in bad
plight if he fail to comply with its
behest.
What is more important in this
item of news is that the sewer COM
mittee reported to the council the
owner every house in town that
is not connected. This was done
after speech by Mayor Johnson
in which he declared that these
connections must be made, and that
if the sewer committee would re-
port those who are falling to COM
ply, he would see that the ordin-
ance is enforced. At Saturday
nights meeting the full list was
read, among them being several
leading citizens and some of the
city officials. The demand of the
mayor for the list of unconnected
houses and his declared purpose
of insisting that connections be
made would seem to be fair warn
ing to all delinquents to get busy,

GIANT BOY DEAD.
Lived Formerly Near Corvallis Grew
From 100 to 165 in Four
Months.

Walter Miller is dead. He is
the boy, formerly of the vicinity of
Corvallis, who manifested such abb
normal growth. From a little boy
of II, weighing 100 pounds, he
became within four months man
weighing 1o5 pounds. His case
was described in the TIMES about
a year ago. He lived then on a
farm a mile or two across the Will
lamette. Besides his growth in
stature and weight, there was a
change of voice incident to the
transition from boyhood to matur-
ity, and in addition growth of
whiskers. The growth began
in March last year, and by July
the changes had all taken place.
The boy was taken to Portland and
there the best medical men of the
state puzzled over his case. 1t was
finally concluded that the unusual
conditions were due to an ailment
of the brain.
The pathetic part of the story is
that the abnormal physical devel-
opment was attended with corre-
spending loss of strength. After a
time, the lad became unable to
walk, and the past year was con-
fined to bed. He died a day or
two ago at Oregon City, where the
family moved from Corvallis last
winter.

HEARST.

Every man who is aggressive for
the public veal has enemies. There
are those who fatten off of special
privilege at the expense OF the
mauy, and he antagonizes these.
He threatens that which they con-
slider their preserves, and they
growl and strike back. The rich
ice trust magnate, or coal baron
on Wall street is enraged when any
man challenges his right to plunder
the public. When William Hearst
attacked the coal trust and the coal
railroads in his newspapers and Sub
sequently brought suit against them
in the courts to compel them to live
within the law, he bearded lions in
their lairs. He prodded them with
gads and smote them with clubs.
They are, ofcourse, his bitter en-
emies. When. in his publications,
he fought the New York gas trust
to its knees and exposed and de.
nounced the ice trust of that city,
he sent the gas barons and the ice
barons into the camp of his enem'
les. When through long series
of years, he continually and con-
sistently advocated better hours,
better conditions and better remun-
alton for labor, he added those who
fatten off of cheapened labor
to his mortal foes. When he de-
tected, then exposed, and then
whipped to justice and oblivion the
big insurance thieves. they and
their friends and henchmen became
fighting recruits in the camp of his
enemies. Men, Jerome with his
vauuted virtue did not dare to pros.

relentless fury.
Regardless of his motives or O
his life in other respects, in all these
things, Mr.. Hearst was right, ane
