Arnspigel, Injured.

A Corvallis dispatch says of the
injury of Olen Arnspiger, former
Pendleton boy now in the University
football team: Olen Arnspiger, Ore
gon's speedy right tackle, who was
injured in the Willamette game Sat-
urday, did not come out for practice
today and Coach Frost said later that
he is afraid that Arnspiger is out Of
the game for next Saturday. This
vii prove a serious loss to the team
as Arnspiger was one of the surest
tacklers and best linesmen in the
northwest. His injury is torn mus
Gle in the side and will be slow to
heal. Pinkham will probably take
Arnspgers place as he is in condi-
ton to play now. None of the team
is in the best of shape. Coach Frost
said that he was rather discouraged
at the way the team played against
Willamette and that would have to
fight next Saturday against Corvallis.

One of the most battling fires the
local department has had to fight for
many months occurred this forenoon
at the O'Daniel furniture store on
East Court street. Damage to the
extent of several hundred dollars was
inflicted on goods by the flames and
considerable injury was also sustain
ed from water.
The fire originated in the rear end
of the balcony in the furniture store
where a large quantity Of wool mat
tresses were stored. At first 1t was
thought the fire was of but little
consequence and when hose company
No. l reached the scene a minute
after the alarm had been given most
people thought the thing would soon
be over.
But owing to the dense smoke In
the rear of the balcony 1t was diff
ficult to fight the blaze, though
water was turned on from both front
and rear. Meanwhile the place be-
came filled with smoke as did also
the theater and dressing rooms above.
Jets OF smoke issuing from the Win
dows of the opera house caused some
to fear the playhouse was afire, but
such was not the case.
During the progress of the fire the
upper windows in front of the furni-
ture store were broken out by the
firemen in order to allow the smoke
TO escape. Some of the mattresses
were then brought out into the street
and in short time the fire was full
" corralled. though it required some
time before 1t could be completely
extinguished.
The fire is said to have been caus-
ed from a stove pipe which extend
ed up through the balcony and evil
IDENTIFY burned out. The O'Daniel
stock was fully insured against all
the loss. sustained, the insurance be-
ing carried by ]. NJ. Bentley.

PRAISE FOR NEW BISHOP.
Eastern Oregon's Bishop a Noted
Fighter OF Vice.

A New York paper says OF Rev.
Robert L. Paddock, the newly elect
ed bishop of eastern Oregon, who will
perhaps make his headquarters in
'Pendleton.
The Rev. Robert l.. Paddock, rec
tor of the Church of the Holy Apos-
ties, 800 Ninth Avenue, has been
elected Missionary bishop Of eastern
Oregon. He comes Of family Of
bishops. His father was Bishop John
A. Paddock of the state OF Washing
ton, his uncle was Bishop B. H.
Paddock Of Massachusetts,, and his
cousin Bishop Bedell of Ohio.
Rector Paddock took a conspicuous
part few years ago in the fight for
clean conditions in New York, in
which he earned the name of "Red
Light Bobble."
In the fall of 1900 he was rector
of the Pro-Cathedral on Stanton
street, and set to work to fight the
vice which was rampant in the dis
trict. He exposed John d. Herlihy
then police captain OF the Eldridge
street station, and his revelations did
much to start the wave of reform
which resulted in the election Of
Mayor Seth Low. Jacob H. Schiff
and Felix Adler assisted him in his
work. He was made one of the COM
mittee to fight vice.
In spite of the difficulties placed In
his way and insults heaped upon
him by the police, Mr. Paddock per-
severed in his task and attacked De-
very in the old Ninth district in 1902.
and was active in the tenderloin ex-
posures in 1904, when 1t was under
the charge of Acting Captain Robin
son.

FOR FORTY YEARS
LONG PLATFORM CAREER
OF COLONEL soBIEsKI
Exiled Pole Has Devoted His Life TO
the Advocacy OF Freedom and jus
tlce for His People-For Months
He Is Engaged Every Night and Is
Now Touring the Northwest on
Circuit Which Will Close Decent
Der 20.

Forty years upon the lecture plat
form, scattering the principles Of
liberty and equality broadcast ad-
vocating free government for Po-
land, justice for her people and the
rise of her ancient honor from the
dust is the record of Col. John So
bieski, the noted Polish orator who
lectured to a miserably small audi
ence at the NJ. z. church last even
ing.
Since the close Of the civil war,
through which Col Sobieski fought,
he has been upon the lecture plat
form constantly. Not month of that
time has passed i'm which he did not
deliver from one lecture a week to
one each day and often for months
at time every night of his time has
been engaged.
He is now touring the northwest
states with the Winter Chautauqua
assembly on a contract which began
last May and which will end on De-
cember 20, when he hopes to return
to his home in Los. Angeles for a few
months rest.
Col. Sobleski is fascinating
speaker and a most entertaining con-
versationalist. He is full of his sub
jects, enthusiastic as a boy of 20 in
his work and looks forward to the
time when the Russian empire will
be converted into a free government,
in which Poland and Polish patriot
ism and Polish character will play
a major part.
He moved to Los Angeles seven
years ago from the east to be nearer
his lecture fields which are now
largely on the Pacific coast. He has
just finished a tour of the entire
state Of Texas in which he travelled
from so to 200 miles per day and lee
tured every night, task which tax
ed the strength of a man Of 65, but
he is in excellent health and has new
er missed a lecture of late years on
account of illness.
He follows lecturing exclusively. He
said to the East Oregonian this morn
ing that he once studied law, shortly
after the war, but 1t did not appeal
to him and he began a preparation
for the lecture platform and with a
commendable zeal and enthusiasm he
had devoted his career to that fas-
cinating work.
Time Evens Up All Things.
Col. Sobieski relates a strange CO.
incidence which happened, in his
life. When he was small boy with
his mother in Italy, Maximillian, then
viceroy Of northern Italy and Aus
trla, gave a special order for the ex.
pulsion of Sobieski and his mother
from Italy because Of his mother be-
ing the wife Of a Polish leader of the
insurrection Of Warsaw in 1916.

bleski fought through the civil war
and after the war closed he went to
Mexico, where, in 1867, Maximillian
as self-styled emperor Of Mexico, was
attempting the subjugation Of that
country.
However the Mexican forces were
victorious and Maximillion was cap
tured and condemned to death and
while awaiting execution he was
called upon by sobieski, who asked
the condemned man II he remember
ed having exiled Mrs. John Sobieski
and son from Italy. He remembered.
and when Sobieski said he was that
boy, Maximillian said: ''Well, 1t

Within a few hours he was shot to
death.

Panic Amid Plenty.

w. S. Norris, a former real estate
dealer of Union, but now engaged in
farming in Benton county, Washing
ton, says that farmers in that coun-
try are now unable to secure money
with which to harvest their crops
and haul them to the railroads. Ben
ton county has an excellent crop this
season and the prices are good, but
little of the grain is delivered yet
and the present money stringency
has made 1t impossible for many of
them to hire teams to haul in their
wheat.
