cool manner. faced the audience with
n GESTURE, which assured all who saw
him that the man had accomplished
what he had intended. Consequently
there was no panic" Thaw flushed
vivid red as Mr.. Garssan In n loud voice
called his name.
Before the prosecution began the in

c. & Z. passenger train, was killed
Tuesday evening by falling off his en-
gIne near BIodgett.
When about two miles east of Blod-
gett Fireman Hassman went back on
the tender to get drink of. water, but
on his failure to return TO the cab on

The train was run hack about two
miles and as 40 trace OF the fireman
was found futher search was left to the
section men and others who later found

that in walking along the tender the
fireman missed his footing and in fall
ing his body struck the bridge killing
him instantly.

evening, and brought to Toledo this
morning, and will be buried in Toledo
cemetery today.

Interested in Lighthouse.

Two thousand one hundred and fifty
people have visited the Yaquina head
lighthouse this year. All but 1l3 of
this number have been there since
June l. Though the lighthouse is five
miles from Newport, people have been
visiting it during the past three weeks
at the rate of about 100 day, and it
takes almost all of the time of one OF
the keepers explaining the workings of
the light to visitors. The largest num-
ber of people there in one day this
year is LAG.
Though most visitors are residents
OF Oregon, almost every state in the
Union is represented on this years re-
gister. Year after year the number in
creases aud on August l3 total Of
2004 had registered. On the same date
last year the register showed total OF
1852. The total number of visitors in
1906 was 1929 and this number will be
greately exceeded this year if the pres
ent rate continues. This lighthouse
probably receives more visitors than
any other on the Northwest coast.
The keeper Of the Yaquina Head
light is Captain Frank NJ. Plummer,
who has been in charge for 80 years
and four months, probably an almost
unequaled record for similar service.
w. P. Ford is first assistant keeper
and Herbert Higgins second assistant.

A D ouble Knot.

A double wedding in which the brides
were sisters and the grooms brothers
occurred last night at the home of the
officiating clergymen, Rev. j. Bower
sox, 1140 Gay street. M. William John
son wed Miss Melia Bergen, and Oscar
l.. Johnson married Miss Clara Bergen.
The romance which eliminated in
this double wedding began at Toledo,
Oregon, on the sea coast near Yaquina
Bay. The young people had been
scnoolmates and playmates together,
and as they grew older their childish
admiration ripened into deeper affec-
ton.
Miss Clara Bergen, now Mrs Oscar
l.. johnson, enjoys the distinction Of
being one OF the youngest brides of
the month. Her age is given as 16,
and the fathers consent to the marriage
sworn to before the county clerk Of
Lincoln county, was forwarded from
Toledo and is now pasted in the atfi-
davit book at the court house. Her
sister, Miss Melia, Is five years older.
The younger groom, Oscar, is 81 years
old. His brother is %.
They moved to Portland from Toledo
recently. Both the young couples

A Word Of Explanation.

A few weeks ago Rey. p. j. Rinehart
arranged a local magazine exchange,
and also secured a section of the State
Circulating Library for Toledo. The
members Of the magazine club are en-
couraged to use the library books. But
this is not privilege confined to them
as magazine club. However, if all or
one to each family represented by this
club should take book out of the
library regularly, it would constitute Il
patronage which is always SO necessary
in order to make library project sue
cessful. There is this difference, too
The members of the magazine club
were not called upon to help pay the
freight on the books. Owing to delay
IN getting some printing done, the ex-
change OF magazines has not been
regular so far; but this difficulty has
been overcome. Each member now
may have membership card, and, be-
ginning with the September numbers,
may exchange magazines at the post
Office, the same as library books.
