and when he yesterday, having been
too familiar with the ways OF fate,
decided, after mixing drinks. that he
himself was Fate, to paraphase Omar

proceeded to astonish the neighbors in
Lynndale chambers where he had Of

Shades of Lord Chesterfield! Armed
with a gun that promised a regular
cannonading, that palmist did wake
up the chambers. He decided the fate
of his wife, and seemed to read it in
his own palm that he was too kill the
inoffensive lady.
Previously he had threatened his
wife with shooting and the landlady
of the Lynndale had managed to get
Chesterfeld's gun and hide it. Peni-
tent-seeming he asked yesterday for
the gun, pretending that he was going
away. 1t was given him, and he pro-
ceeded to tell Mrs. Chesterfield things
not included in Lord Chesterfield S
letters to his son. Neither was his
conduct modelled upon that classic.
Chief Jackson finally subdued the
man, and the fortune teller left last
evening seeking no others fortunes
but his own.

under canvas The food was cooked
in the open, and they lived day and
night in the attitude Of awaiting the
unexpected alarm. This system was
used in order to give every one an OPP
portunity to see what would happen in
time of war, when with a small force
available it would be necessary to
stay beside the guns ready for any
emergency The post commander ar
ranged for sudden calls, which were
intended to represent the appearance
of an enemy.
It was found that the work was
most profitable, and during the next
year this practice will be extended
to a period Of two weeks. The time al
lowed each day for other exercises will
be increased from one and one-half
hours to two hours, and the weekly
inspection will take two days, instead
of one, in order that there may be a
complete examination of the intricate
mechanism and elaborate exercises of
coast defense armament, together with
a thorough trial of the men in their
drills. This imposes much more work
than has been the case, but it is re-
garded as necessary by the authori-
ties in order to keep everybody up to
state of personal efficiency, with
thorough acquaintance with the ap-
pliances Of coast defence operations.

Aurelio Herrera, the Mexican boxer,
is to fight Charlie Neary, the German
boxer, this evening. Herrera and Neary
are to fight eight rounds and Herrera
is to receive $1,000 for his trouble,
whether he wins, loses or fights a
draw. It is believed that Herrera will
put up the fight of his life and that
there will be no draw this time.
Neary and Herrera have fought
three draws, two at the Panorama and
one in Grand Rapids, Mich. The
fourth time they were to have met
was in Butte, Mont, on July 4, Of
last year, but the authorities stopped
the battle in the first round. Herrera
has lost a great deal of his popularity
since the fiasco with Nelson at Los
Angeles, but he is still a hard-hitting
fighter and may be depended upon to
give a good account of himself this
time, particularly, as he has a person.

The preliminary surveys for the big
canal were made last year. The en-
gineers are now engaged in making
the final surveys and doing the cross
sectioning. The water will be taken
from the big Minam river, which is
the boundary line between Union and
Wallowa counties. The canal will
take the water down through a deep
canyon. It's head is in section 35

of the New York Herald.
The enterprising management has
the sole rights TO Buster including
the members Of his family and his
dog Tige, They have all been in
corporated into a very amusing farce
with music that has proven equally
attractive to auditors of all ages.
There is a bevy of girls who have
been garbled in the latest and most
luxuriant style. Buster is an appeal
ing and amusing little fellow and
with his dog Tige. is the moving
spirit of a vast number of humorous
complications and side splitting ad

The Gasoline Engine.

AT the coming meeting of the Tex
as Press Association one of the sub
jects assigned for discussion is:
should the inventor of the gasoline
engine be shot. hung or burned" To
the uninitiated it might appear that
the subject was intended as a gross
joke, but to the newspaper office de-
pendent upon this machine for power
il is anything but a matter of levity.
The gasoline engine is q source of
constant fear to the publisher. He
looks at it much as one would a key
of giant powder with a suffering
fuse attached. The only difference is
You can reasonably expect the power
to go. Not so the engine. II is as
unreliable as a balky horse and like
the aforesaid horse refuses to go
when most wanted. For a time it
VIII run with the grace and ease of
the finest motor made and then all
at once it becomes sullen, begins to
wheeze like a wind broken steer and
is still as death. 1t car give brighter
promise of performance and fail
more miserably than a trick mule.
1t can use o gasoline than a forty
horse power motor car and dc less
astual running than "a windmill in
Death Valley. These reflections are
brought out by the Standards eX-
perience of Wednesday afternoon.
Just as the last copy went TO the type
machine the gasoline engine threw a
fit, kicked a nut off the end Of a
bolt and came to a dead rest. II re-
flee force and an expert machiniSt for
nearly two hours to induce ii to be-
gin work again.-San Angelo Stand
