Early in the present week war

PIONEER BRAKEMAN DIES
Rudolph Michaiec Succumbs tC
Attack of Asthmatlc and Bronchial
Troubles in PendIetOn.

Rudolph Michalec died in Pendleton
Wednesday morning, where he had
been taken in the hope of improving
his health. His death was caused by
complication of asthmatic and bron-
chial troubles.
Mr.. Michalec was born in Austria,
and came to Portland when a small
boy. He grew up in and around Port
land, and at one time played in thea
ter orchestra in that city when First
street was plank road.
He began breaking on the Portland
& Willamett e Valley railway in 1883,
and continued as a passenger brake
man on the Yamhill and West Side
divisions until about four months ago,
when i'll health caused him to give up
the work.
big LOU" as he was known to the
travelling public, was character in
his way, and was a favorite with all.
He never missed being on hand to
attend to his duties, and kept a con-
stant lookout for women, children, and
persons feeble with age when they
were getting on and off the train.
He was about So years old. He left
widow, but no children. His remains
will be broughtto Sheridan for burial.

The reception to the new students of
Dallas College, which the young peo-
pies societies of the various churches
will unite in holding at the college
gymnasium tonight, will be some
thing unusual in the social annals Of
our city. 1t is anticipated that this
reception will do much to knit closer
the bonds of friendship and common
interest between the members of the
various churches, and between those
attending college and those who do
not attend.
The Philadelphian literary society
was reorganized for the work Of the
coming year Monday evening, with a
membership of about thirty. The
following officers were chosen: Presi-
dent, Elmer Barnhart; vice president,
William Montgomery treasurer,
Verne Launer; editor, William Ridge
way. This society has been one of the
strongest in Dallas College ever since
it was founded in 1905, and the men,
bers expect to make the coming year
the most successful one. they haYe
ever enjoyed.
More than score of men from Port
land and other points in the William
cite Valley came into Dallas on the
first and second days after the opening
of the pheasant season, and the most
of them secured fine strings of birds to
show for their days sport. For the
past four days, the most common type
of passenger that one could see step
ping from the Portland trains was the
man who had gun-case in his hand,
and who hastened to the baggage car
to secure his hunting dog, as soon as
he train stopped at the station.

Hand Torn by Saw.

Ray Kelly, an employee of the Will
annette Valley Lumber Company, lost
three fingers from his left hand,
Wednesday morning, by allowing it to
be caught in the saws of the edger. A
splinter had become lodged in the
machine and in reaching between the
rolls to pull it out, his hand was drawn
among the saws and the first three
fingers were torn off in an instant. MIR.
Kelly was taken at tonce to a doctor, the
shattered bones and mangled flesh
were removed, and the wound dressed.
He will not entirely lose the use Of the
hand, and may be able to work again
when it is healed. Verne Compton,
whose place at the edger Mr., Kelly was
filling, at the time he received the
injury, was laid off last week by an
accident of similar nature, though
not quite SO severe. A tfifie more
care in either case, and the machine
could have been stopped and the splin-
ter removed without danger to the
operator.

HIGH CLASS ATTRACTIONS
Dallas College Secures Fine Talent
for Winter Entertainment
Course.

Those who had the privilege ofenjoy-
ing the entertainment course given
under the auspices of Dallas College
last winter will be pleased to learn
that arrangements have been made to
secure an even better aggregation of
talent for a similar course during the
coming season. The dates have not
all been fixed, but they will be made
public as soon as possible. The first
date of the entertainment course will
be filled by the kellogg Haines Singing
Party, presenting scenes from English
and comic opera, in costume. The five
persons composing the company are
all skilled singers of exceptional merit
and their entertainment consists Of a
veritabe feast of classical music,
selected from such compositions as, I'll
Trovatore," "Lucia" and Faust. ;"
They will sing in Dallas on Novem-
ber s.
Two who need no introduction to the
people of Dallas are DR.. John Mer
rite Driver, one of the lecturers of
last years course, and the Dunbar
Bell Ringers. DR.. Driver will lecture
in Dallas, December 18, and remem-
bering his lecture of last season, there
is no doubt that he has an intellectual
treat in store for us. The date for the
entertainment of the Dunbar Male
Quartette and Bell Ringers has not
been fixed.
Later in the season Dallas will be
visited by two other famous lecturers,
Maynard Lee Daggy, a lecturer by no
means inferior to DR.. Driver, and by
George Bartlett Cutter, the singing
humorist. A course Of equal strength
has never before been secured for
Dallas, and the people of this city will
doubtless look forward eagerly to each
of the entertainments of which it is
composed.

UNCLE SAM AS A MEDIATOR

THE Treasury Department once acted
as Judge in a dispute that arose be-
tween man and wife. The two had had
spirited squabble as to the possession of
several national banknotes, each holding
fast to one end of the wad A hve-dollar
bill was in this way torn across the middle,
and each contestant carried OFT halt OF IT.
The department received halt OF the
bill from the wife, who said that the other
half had been destroyed and requested a
new bill. Shortly after the receipt of the
wife's communication there came the sec
ond half of the bill from the husband, with
a similar statement and request. AS the
Government then had both ends of the
bill, it awarded two dollars and a half to
each.
Among the most remarkable requests
ever addressed to Government officials
was that from a Chicago business man.
A month or two before the time set for
the marriage of one of his daughters, he
sent to the Treasury Department a large
bundle of old and torn greenbacks, re-
questing their redemption and the issu-
ance in their stead of new bills IN the
amount of those turned in. The new bills,
he stated, were to be given his daughter
as a wedding present. So tar the request
of the Chicago business man presented no
peculiar difficulty to the treasury officials;
but they objected when he naively sug
gested that the new notes should bear
in red letters on their face the full name
of his daughter.
Not long ago the Secretary of Agricul
ture got a letter from a Western farmer,
who descanted at length upon his ad
mration of the work done under Secretary
Wilson's administration. Especially did
the farmer praise the publications issued
by the department for the guidance of
farmers desiring to experiment with the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-09-22

new preparations for lnoculatlng the soil
with chemical compounds to increase its
fertility
The writer, however, complained that
he was not entirely competent to pursue
the experiments himself and so would
the department be SO good as to send
professor to him, with instructions to
institute a series of experiments in the
line referred to-
An Iowa farmer once complained bit
terly to the Weather Bureau that its Of
fetal representations were being dis
counted by the predictions of an amateur
weather prophet in that State. The cor
respondent seemed to be laboring under
the impression that the weather on the
Government maps" was copyrighted
matter, and as such should be protected
from parties infringing thereon. 1t re-
quired some little correspondence from
the bureau to convince the lowan that
any man had the right to place any kind
of weather on the market in the form OF
predictions, as long as he did not claim
any official authority for so doing.
Volumes might be written with refer
ence to the appeals made to the Patent
Office by inventors, bona fide and other
wise A favorite complaint with many
inventors is that their ideas are being
stolen by others. One man wrote that
inadvertently he had disclosed the prin-
ciple of an invention that he was then
perfecting, because he had been so in
discreet as to talk in his sleep while room
ing with cousin, an inscriptions in
dividual, it was claimed, who would GER
tainly attempt to forestall the real in
ventor The correspondent desired to
warn the Government that he would in
stitute proceedings for damages, should
the patent be issued to the person COM
planned of.
