A SUIT FOR ISLANDER
Martha Gabel Seeks $Ioo Damages
From Kate Pile.

BY the appearance of Justice Wood
rufus court this morning, where a
long row of bright feminine faces was
strongly in evidence, encouragement
was given to the belief that a Islander
suit was on, but the ladies' were dis.
appointed when the court announced
that the trial would be postponed un.
til next Friday. "Oh, wanted to see
the fun and l can't come back next
week." said comedy young maid as
her countenance fell at hearing the
announcement. Il wanted to hear it
to the finish," chimed in another, and
the whole crowd joined in on the cho-
rus as they descended the stairs with
downcast expressions, all because they
were deprived of hearing the gossip
that might attend the trial.
The case was that of Martha Gable
VS.. Kate Pile, in which the plaintiff
accuses Miss Pile of being guilty OF
making such slanderous remarks as
would likely affect her husband and
ALLEVIATE his affections. She claims to
have already been damaged to the
amount of 800 and she prays for a
Judgment of that amount. o. N.
Downs is attorney for the plaintiff and
County Attorney j. c. Williams APP
peared for the defense. The case was
postponed for week to allow the
plaintiff to prepare a more specific PEE
tition stating the exact damage which
has been the result of the accused
SANDER.

Il want you all to leave the church"
repeated Lomack. This man hasn't
lived up to his contract.
SISTER burden, get my contract"
remarked the minister loudly to his
wife, and then whispered to her aside:
Call the police"
Prayer Meeting Ends.
But the prayer meeting ended right
then and there. Every time Rev. Dur
den started to say something Rev. Lo-
mack stopped him and when the latter
insisted that the congregation leaYe,
the new minister told his predecessor
to keep quiet. The fracas continued
for thirty minutes, while Rev. Lomack
occupied the floor for the greater part
of the time. He was still talking and
expostulating when two big police
men arrived. Rev. Lomack started to
explain. So did half dozen others.
The remainder fed on the arrival of
the officers. The police quieted the
congregation and then agreed to give
each minister five minutes to explain
their positions. They both did 1t all
over again. When they had concluded
the last member of the congregation
had departed. And so the police re-
tired, too.
This morning Rev. burden filed in
formation in police court charging f.
c. Lomack with disturbing the quiet
of religious meeting by using loud
and threatening language" Officer
Schaeffer served the warrant. The
minister was released on bail.
Il don't intend to let any man
preach in that church the way Broth
er burden does" declared Lomack.
Il don't intend to be driven out of
my pulpit by a dozen men like Lo-
mack, said burden. 81 was called
here by him and now l am here | in
tend to stick"

FALL TRADE OPENS
IN GOOD SHAPE
IMPROVEMENT NOTED IN MER-
CAMILLE COLLECTIONS.
STEEL MILLS ARE BUSTER
Fall In Copper Is Feature Of the
Metal Markets-Consumers Still
Holding OF For Lower
Prices.

New York, Sept. AR. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
Retail trade increases at the lead
ing cities as the vacation season
closes, and opening of the fall lines is
attended with most satisfactory re-
suits. AS the staple crops are secured
and marketed there is a prompt inn
proyement in mercantile collections
throughout the agricultural districts,
and the decline in prices was espe-
cially helpful in stimulating export
trade. There is still much conserva-
tism in placing contracts for future
business and decreased speculation is
another factor that aids in restoring
normal financial conditions,
Postponed business is coming more
freey to the steel mills, and there is
less disposition to wait for more fay-
orable conditions. In the market for
minor metals the feature was fur
Their decline in prices, copper stocks
accommodating in the hands of produc-
ers, while many consumers waited for
the predicted fall to Is cents.
Primary markets for dry goods are
seasonably quiet without any evidence
of weakness. New contracts for mems
wear woolens appeared slowly. Foot
wear shipments are holding close to
the highest movement ever recorded
from the Boston market, but the win
ter season is not opening as well as
most manufacturers anticipated. New
business is small, many New England
factories having only few weeks cut
ting ahead, and the interval between
fall and spring activity is expected to
be longer than usual"
Expansion Noted.
Bradstreets report says:
Fall jobbing trade in dry goods and
wearing apparel generally tends to-
ward expansion as the ultimate out
come of leading crops becomes more
assured, and as evidences increase of
higher prices off.setting small yields.
From the northwest there are re-
ports of the orders previously held
back, now coming forward and there
is evidence also of more life in south
ern trade and of improvement collec-
tons in that section as the common
crop begins to-move TO market in good
volume. Other favorable developments
also are the increased shipments of
grain and flour for export. ...
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending Sept. IL,
number 172 against 164 in the same

tion of his hearers and his lectures are
full Of virility.

Efforts are now being made to
construct a new line over the ba,bed

The people OF that section are max

along the line are scattering and the
cost will fall heavily upon them II
they do not receive outside aid.

A MIXED PHONE LINE.
Difficulties Encountered In Commu-

gOn.

An illustration of the difficulties
under which residents of the far in
terror of Oregon labor, is shown in
the telephone line reaching from this
city to Long Creek, a distance of
about 80 miles.
The line from here to Ukiah, As
miles, belongs to William Hilton of
this city and has offices in the store
at Ukiah. From Ukiah to Dale is a
new line IL miles in length which
works very well, but which has offices
in the drug store at Ukiah, making
1t necessary in 'phoning beyond
Ukiah, to transfer the message from
the store TO the durg store and re-
peat 1t over the second section of the
