to be conducted as a house of i'll
fame by, Lulu and Jessie Medsker,

Chestnut and Sycamore, was raided

chief of the city fire department,
were found therein and arrested.
The warrant was sworn out by.

He was one of the witnesses and told.

open, and finding Condry and Lulu
Medsker in a room, but that nothing
looked suspicious.
Jessie, the older sister, was not
in the house when he entered, but
came in a moment later. Condry
was allowed to go back to the de-
IPartment on his OWL recognizance,

moned as witnesses, and some eight
OF ten testified. All were urani-
nous IN saFiHgthat the place had u.
generally bad repute, and several un-
r~eservedly declared it a most wicked
place.
Some of the men declared that vis-
itors to the Medsker house awoke
them at all hours of the night in
trying to locate where the girls lived.
Another swore that he had seen the
girls intexiated on the streets, and
had heard them use vile language
on the etfeetcs as well as in the
residences
The girls live with their father,
who Hearing eighty and all the
witnesses who are familiar with their
mode Of life say the old man is not
able to work, and that the girls have
no visible means of a livelihood.
Lulu and one witness had a little.
tilt in which she declared that he
was responsible for her mode of life,
and then again she gave the impress
sion that he knew nothing detri-
mental to her character.
This called forth a reply from The
man which implicated both him and
the woman, but the mayor ignored
this. Jessie is alleged TO have told
a woman living near by how they
procured money, but the other wom-

was not admitted as evidence,
Lulu would not take the stand,
but Jessie attempted explanations.

Lauren w. Dawson, aged 30, a
machinist employed by the Fairmont
Coal Company in the mines at Mo-
nongah, shielded at midnight last
night by swallowing about five
ounces of carbolic acid. No cause
is assigned for the rash act except
that Dawson's friends have noticed
that lately he had appeared despond-

Hefesided with his wife and step
child, and last night he retired early.
about 11:3o O'Clock he left his
bed and went to the lower part of
the house. His wife followed a
short time afterwards and found
him lying on the floor with an empty
vial beside him. DR.. James A.
Reidy was notified, but before he
reached the house Dawson was dead.
Dawson was well known at Mo-
nongah and was regarded as one of
the best citizens of the town. The
news of his death, which spread
rapidly, caused a big sehHGtion.

Queer Accident At BipDodronc.

SO bTg1NA D 4
That the New York Hippodrome is
an amusement enterprise absolutely
different from every other playhouse,
was illustrated by a slight accident
that happened last week. In one
scene, the Court of the Golden Foun-
tains, the stage is sunk several feet
into the enormous water tank, and
two hundred chorus girls are group
ed in shrines, shells and flowers,
which seem to grow out of the water,
while a flower ship sails by. Miss
Mildred Belmont, a chorus girl,
whose duty it is to sit upon the PROV
of the flower ship, lost her balance
at one of the matinees and fell into
the water. There was a cry of sur
prise from the audience, but it was
quickly changed to laughter when it
was @ e that Miss Belmont was
swimming in the tank. She made
her way to the flower ship, and sup
ported herself until the curtain hid
her from view, when she was fished
out, none the worse for the drench-
ing, except that she could not get her
hair curled in time for the evening
performance. Where else could such
an accident happen, except at the
New York Hippodrome?

THE HOME

A new sleeve will often make a
dress ~presentable that otherwise
must be discarded.
If the skirt of the school dress has
become short, there are three WAYS Of
lengthening it. Should there he
tucks, let them out. Let down the
hem and face the bottom. Make n
belt an inch or two wide where the
skirt and waist join.
Often a new yoke and cuffs will
make a dress for all practical our
poses new.
If rips and tears are mended at
once it will ave much time and pa
tience.
To mend a dress that is worn I'M
der the arms, rip the sleeves loose
from the dress well on either side of
the under arm seams, and set a new
piece of the material neatly in the
waist and sleeve. These pieces should
be nicely pressed before again sewing
the sleeve part.
Shirtwaists that are made with a
yoke across the back will last much
longer and those that have no yoke
ana are giving way can be mended by
Shaping a piece for a yoke and stitch
ing it on.
IN changing garments before rip
ping LOOK them over and be sure it is
not going to cost more to get sufi-
Gent materials with which to make
tnem over than it would cost to buy
new.
AS a rule, women dislike having
to shrink linen and cotton goods be-
fore making them up; they anticipate
considerable labor in having to iron
the material before it can be cut our.
and often it ends in the garments be-
ing made without shrinking, which
is bound to result dis~astrously. If
the cotton or linen, whichever it may
be, is left in the original folds and
laid for a few hours in a bathtub,

Papers In the case were filed by at

that a restraining order win be issued
against the A. r. C. tomorrow, In the
complaint II is cited that the A. q 9.

ployed In driving tunnel at Hobson-

II Is alleged by the r. r. & N. Of

occupied the right OF way. but used
the same grade stakes, and II was
necessary for them 10 send a man TO

the right OF way between Tillamook

cause the latter company was first on
