ARTIFICIAL ROSES
BY THE THOUSAND.
TO GARLAND EASTER
BONNET.
STYLES THIS SPRING RUN TO
HORTICULTURE AND EVEN
TO FARM PRODUCTS.

What IL windows have been white
with frost and the chug OF the steam
radiator is music to the ear? Roses.
thousands OF them, are blooming
within sight OF the red nosed God
dess OF Liberty.
To be sure they are silk and
velvet and cotton roses, brought
from Paris to garland the Easter
bonnets OF 1907. but they are so
natural to look at them. one would
almost believe that 1t was June
instead of February. But here is the
great piece of news-whisper it.
womankind Is going to "go to grass
as far as headgear is concerned.
Broad. green blades like corn
husks. tufts OF pampaslike plumes,
reedy stalks not classified In any
botany, long stems OF imitation oats
and wheat and bearded barley-all
will wave from the new spring hats.
Maybe It win be safe for the girl
who steps into her runaboat for
her calling and shopping rounds,
and never sees COW except in sec
tions at the butchers, but II her
pretty country sisters copy the fash
ion we shall hear OF tragedies when
old Dobbin or Mooley turns hungry
eyes on the miniature grain field and
nips on all the verdure at one
swoop.
The shapes OF the new hats are
as varied as the vegetation that will
decorate them. There is the mush-
room hat. Suggestive of beefsteak
and entrees, isn't Il?
Milans, Leghorns and Tuscan
straws with fiat crowns, round
crowns, dropping brims. jaunty up
turning brims. and fat, nappy
brims which may be bent as the
owner iisteth, are piled three feet
high on the counters. 1t is hinted
that the Salvation army members
VIII not be the only ones to wear
poke bonnets. Ribbons, wide and
soft and preferably striped, will be
made into innumerable bows and
streamers to adorn the various
shapes and instead OF being planted
crosswise OF the head at strange
and aggressive angles, like the hats
or last year. This seasons head
coverings will rest reposefully on
the Marcel waves and pompadour
puffs OF fair women.
But even though Standard OIL and
butter and eggs and lamb chops
soar upward in price the Easter
soar upward in price, the Easter
than last. BluefeId wives and
daughters need not fear that re-
strictions will be laid on them in
the matter OF pretty and becoming
head covering.

Manson, the clerk OF the church
sessions said yesterday that he had
not received the resignation of Mr..
Hunt. In fact. he added, he didn't
see where it was necessary, as Mr..
Hunt had not been the permanent
pastor, having been simply a hold
over.
An official Of the church said:
ut can safely be said that the
Rev. Mr.. Hunt will not preach in our
church any more. The recent dis
closures were such that unde, The
circumstances he couldn't continue
as the pastor. Some time ago, when
this unfortunate matter FIRST came
before the public, Mr.. Hunt assured
the church people that at the proper
time he would be vindicatcd and then
make statement.
We had every confidence in him,
and AT the annual y,cetfp,, ~ tbo
church session recently held we de-
cidede when his Yindication came to
give him a unanimous call to the
pastorate. We had all hoped that
things would adjust themselves, but

IT IS KILLING FATHER.

No harder blow has been landed on
the Evening Bunc" and it's discredit-
ed boxer following than the unexpected
move yesterday in the arrest OF the
gamblers. 1t marks the further dis
ruption of that gang of curbstone poll
ticians which conspired to control mu-
nicipal politics and used the gambler
vote to shove certain men into ONCE
When Mayor Kellough was put up
the "Bunc"- crowd of politicians
passed the word down the line that
gambling would not be interfered with
if the gang got control. This control
came through the ignorance of the peo-
pie who knew not for what they were
voting.
The promise not to interfere was
faithfully kept by the mayor and
chief of police. Gambling continued-so
openly that those aware of conditions
were amazed. The city administra-
ton stood behind the element, which
returned the favor with money and
votes.
But a hitch came. In some manner
the "Bunc'' and the Kellough admins
tration lost caste with the county rep
resentativeS. The blow fell without
warning-and now there are dissen-
sions in the ranks of the 'Bunc"-Kees
boxers.
Morally the move is in every way
satisfactory. Politically it was a
big mistake in more ways than one.
1t exposed the fact that open gambl-
~. nrntopfiOn
of the city administration. 1t turned
the hypocritical coat of the Evening
Bunc", which of late has assumed a
charming expression of huge morality.
Again it brought to light the fact
that some of the boxers are not being
fooled by the remainder of the boxers.

AMUSEMENT VOTERS.

In "The Ragged Messenger" Cres-
ton Clarke has secured another sue
cess to take the place Of Monsieur
Beaucaire," in which he won such high
praise everywhere last season. The
new play. however, is thoroughly mod
ern. 1t is among the early bookings
here.
Blanche Walsh, now acknowledged
to be the greatest emotional actress on
the American stage, will soon be seen
here, having made another enormous
hit at the Aston theater, in New York,
and being forced to close her run, be-
cause of previous existing contracts.
She is to make a brief tour of the
northwest, taking in some Of the east
ern cities on her way. She will be
seen in Clyde Fitch's newest play,
"The Straight Road which metropol-
itan critics have hailed as play vivid
with goodness rather than intellectual
smartness. The company and produce
ton will be identincal as seen during
the Broadway run.

LETTERS may POINT To
MURDERER OF SECRETARY

SPOKANE March 15.-Letters have
been sent to the police here by Virginia
Spencer Hutchinson, widow of Reno
Hutchinson, the Y. NJ. c. A. secretary,
who was murdered here last fall. The
letters purport to have come from
John J. Masten and were mailed from
various towns in the state of Tennes-
see They address Mrs. Hutchinson by
her Christian name and are cOuched
in a sympathetic tone, bidding her to
be of good cheer, and referring re-
peatedly to Reno Hutchinson as "one
of Gods noblemcn." They are signed
variously, "Jno. J. Masten," John j.
Masten" and Rev. Jno. J. Masten.'
The letters were forwarded by Mrs.
Hutchinson as being possible clues to
the identity of the murderer. She states
Masten.
In writing the name Reno" the
writer had first written the name
Robert and Rob" which had been
erased afterward. This is the name
which a neighbor heard cried out at
about the time of the assassination,
and is not that of any known ac-
quaintance of Mr.. Hutchinson.
In one of the letters Masten says he
will send Mrs. Hutchinson photo
graph of himself. This she says she
never received. The letters also speak
of the ''murderers' in the plural, thus
showing possible knowledge of the
matter

ADJUSTMENTS
ARE OLDEST TEAM.

hurry & Mack enjoy the distinction
of being the oldest farce comedy team
in point of actual service, now before
the public.
This season makes the fourteenth
consecutive year that hurry & Mack
have headed their own organization.
Their record and success has been
something unique, as they never had
the early struggles so common with
so many of our prominent actors.
While they are the oldest in point or
service before the public, they are also
the youngest in age, considering the
amount of successes they have achiev-
ed. When they started their starring
tour they were both very young men.
Their first vehicle was called Irish
Neighbors" Murray was at that time
10 years old and Mack 20. Many the
alter goers will be surprised to learn
thew a renot older. Thus coming around
as they have year after year, the play
goer seems to feel he has been look
ing at them for ages. Both have be-
come solid business men and property
holders and when the public gets tir-
ed of them and it is time for them to
quit the road, they will both have
handsome competency to fall back up
on. They are making grea promises
for this years performance and say it
is the funniest comedy they have ever
had. The piece this season is in line
with their former successes, good,
quick and lively. The cast includes,
Miss Gladys Van, the original Red
Soubrette, Gus Pixley, Gertrude Rut-
ledge and others. May be seen at the
KeylOr Grand theater March IS.

BABE DIED IN AWFUL AGONY
Deep Mystery C|oaks Tragic End
Of Little Infant

BAKER CITY, Ore, March 15.-The
deepest of mystery surrounds the death
of the infant child of Mrs. Mary Burns
at the Columbia mine Tuesday. The
coroner's jury pronounced the case
murder last night, but because of the
tangle charges have not been preferred
against any one yet. Rurther investi-
ACTIONS are in progress.
The victim of the foul murder was
an infant in arms. only 13 months of
age. She could not walk. The mother
is little more than a child, being but
II years old. She was married in Ten
nessee when IA years old. She separ-
ated from her husband a year ago and
came to the Columbia mine, where she
took up her residence with her father.
A Profit, an employee at the mine, and
her half sister, Ella Profit child of
II years.
Since the separation Mrs. Burns has
not heard from her husband directly,
but believes he is in California. On
the morning of the tragedy Ella Prof
fit was playing with the Burns baby on
the flood of the Profit cabin. The fire
burned low and she stepped outside to
bring in wood.
When she returned she found the
babe writing in agony on the floor,
it's mouth badly burned by carbOlic
acid. and realizing that the child was
dying the little girl rushed into the
bedroom, where her sister, Mrs. Burns,
the mother of the infant, was aslep.
Ella awakened the sleeping woman and
told her that there was something the
matter with the baby. Mrs. Burns
arose, and, entering the room where
the child was, she exclaimed: 81 smell
carbolic acid, and the baby must have
poisoned ITSELF
DR.. Brown of Bourne was immedi-
ately summoned. Medical attention was
given the child without avail, and it
died two hours later. DR.. Brown re-
fused to sign the death certificate and
the Baker City authorities were nOti-
fled.
In the cabin on a high shelf, out of
reach of the baby, the bottle of carbolic
acid was kept. The investigation
shows that the bottle was moved from
it's accustomed place, although it re-
manned upon the shelf after the trag-
edy, with the cork unlOOSened. The
spoon which had been used for the
acid was found upon the floor under
the bed
