Doctor to Wed Affinity.

Seattle-The banns of the mar
rage of DR.. Eiliv Jansen, wealthy
physician of this city, and Miss Bedil
Frederikke Hammerich, are now be-
ing published in Seattle and also in
Dresden, Germany
The wedding which is soon to take
place is a sequel to the divorce which
was obtained by the wife of DR.. jan
sen last March. Some two years ago
Mrs. Jansen and her 4-year-old son
went to Europe. DR.. Jansen followed
them a few months later and Joined
his family at Munich. He later went
on a visit to Copenhagen and there
met Miss Hammerich, who is a star
of the Danish stage.
About a year ago Mrs. Jansen re-
turned to Seattle and conflded to her
friends a pitiful tale of domestic in
felicity. Up to the time the doctor
met Miss Hammerich their home had
been perfectly happy. From that
time on there was no peace for Mrs
Jansen. Her husband told her that
he no longer loved her and that he
had found his affinity in Miss Ham
merich. Mrs. Jansen finally brought
suit and obtained a separation.

Spokane, Sept. IA weird story
of kidnapping, involving members of
the Miners Union, is told by Frank
Gillice, nonunion millman of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine, at
Kellogg, Idaho. Gillice, who dis
appeared mysteriously two weeks
ago, and was found later In Cali
fornia, has returned home He de-
clares that on the day he disappeared
two men met him in the road at
Kellogg, disarmed him and compell-
ed him to ride with them in a box
car to Tekoa Wash, watching him
constantly There he was put on a
train and taken to Sacramento, Cal,
where the men took $500 from him
and left him.
Gillice claims he overheard the
men planning to capture others in
the same way and also discussing
kidnapping the baby of Manager
Stanley Eason, of the Bunker Hill
mine, and holding 1t for ransom.
Gillice is the engineer who was run
ming the hoist in the Portland mine
at Victor, Colo, when the cage
dropped, carrying l 4 men down 1000
feet to instant death. Friends fear
this tragedy may have affected his
mind.

LOSS BY FIRE WILL

THREE BLOCKS BURN IN NEW
ORLEANS-FIREMEN ARE
OFF ON PICNIC.
Wine Casks Explode With Thunder
Gus Noise, Shaking Walls of
Adjoining Buildings.

New Orleans, Sept. Fire which
broke out in the center of the com
mercial district Sunday afternoon
swept over portions of three blocks,
destroying a large number of whole
sale houses, manufacturing houses
and stores, with a loss of between
one and two millions of dollars be-
fore the flames were finally subdued.
At the time the alarm was turned
in the New Orleans firemen were in
the midst of their annual picnic at a
suburban park and the engines and
patrols responded with a mere hand
full of men. 1: was more than an
hour before the department was in a
position to make anything like a sue
cessful fight against the fire.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular that has occurred in New
Orleans during recent years.
Two warehouses filled with wines
and liquors were among the buildings
destroyed. Barrels of whiskey and
brandy exploded with thunderous
roars, which could be heard for
blocks, and which shook the walls
of adjoining buildings and endanger-
ed the lives of firemen engaged In
fighting the flames.

Dairy Herd Goes Blind.

Los Angeles, Sept. THAT IL
cows in the Giegerich dairy which
have gone blind mysteriously are the
victims of a new disease is the opin-
ion of H. ]. Daniels, a veterinary
surgeon, who has been studying the
cases.
At first there seemed to be every
indication that the cows had been
blinded by knife plunged into their
eyes. On closer examination it was
discovered that the hole in each eye
was located in the same relative posi-
ton.
The veterinary Acknowledges that
he never heard of similar disease.
1t is thought possible that small tum-
ors have formed in the eyes and
broken, leaving a hole and destroy
ing the sight. Tests will be made
with the cows, and it is hoped to
learn the exact cause OF the animals
going blind.

Embezzler Is Caught in Portland.

Portland, Ore, Sept. AFTER
evading the police of many cities for
four months, being wanted on
charge of embezzlement by the Nor
thern Life Insurance Company Of
Seattle, G. H Kierstand, formerly
assistant general manager of that cor
poration, was placed under arrest
Saturday. Broken in health and
spirits, and as weak as a child, when
taken into custody, Kierstand made
full confession of his crime and
begged to be sent back to stand
trial.
When interviewed in a cell of the
City Jail, Kierstand admitted the
truth of the charges that have been
preferred against him, and declared
himself to be the most miserable
in the world. Ever since he fed
from Seattle, he said, he has been
tormented day and night. In vain
effort to forget his crime, he took
to drink, and is now In a pitiable
condition. Sleep forsook him, and
wherever he went, ever trying to
evade the authorities and to keep
his mind of his unfortunate deed,
he could think of nothing else.
After fleeing from Seattle, Kier-
stand said, he went direct to Chicago,
where he drank heavily. Wishing
to make amends, he wrote to HIS
company headquarters in Seattle to
General Manager T. NJ. Morgan, ask
ing an opportunity to return and
make good" No reply came, and
he spent a long time, wandering
about in the small towns near the
metropolis, trying to avoid arrest.
Two weeks ago he determined to
come to the Coast, and he reached
Portland last Thursday. He hoped
that he might find friends here, who
would assist him in arranging for
an adjustment of his affairs with the
Seattle firm, but he found none, and
went wandering about, undetermined
what to do. The police of all Coast
cities having been notified, however,
the detectives picked him up on the
street and took him to police head
quarters, where he was locked up.

Bride Drinks Poison.

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 1.-Continu-
GUS repetition of gossip that her hus-

The loss is variously estimated at

is partially covered by insurance.
There was a big dance In the hall

is supposed that some of the guests
carelessly dropped the remains of a
cigar or cigarette on the stairs, oass-
ing the disastrous results.

Olympia-Heavy deficits are fore
casted in the appropriations for the
maintenance of some of the states
principal institutions by a checking
up in the State Auditors office of the
balances left of the amounts the Leg
islature authorized them to expend.
These probable deficiencies will be
in the accounts Of the Western Wash

Eastern Washington Hospital for the
Insane, the State College at Pullman,
and the Bellingham Normal School.
In addition to these shortages, the
state printing fund is about exhaust
ed and ii is claimed there will be
not one dollar for the printing of the
departmental biennial reports re-
quired by law.
All state institutions will have to
bear an unexpected burden, however,
from this date on, in the payment of
their printing bills. Printing for the
institutions heretofore has been paid
out of the $65,0OO printing appro-
priation provided by the Legislature.
The printing fund at this date has
but $3716.96 left in it, with large
amount of work still unbilled, and
election printing in sight. which must
be provided for, that will cost about
$1,000.
The trouble seems to have been
that the last Legislature created
many more uses for printing in diff
ferent departments, but made no ade
quate provision for the payment for
the work

Melbourne, Sept. Formal entry
Of the Americans into Melbourne
took place yesterday. Admiral

that point they marched II deep past
the Port Melbourne and South Mel
bourne town halls to st. Kilda road,
the main southern approach to the
city, where dense masses of sight
seers had assembled.
1t was more like triumphant
march than a parade of visiting sal
lors. A public reception was held in
honor of the officers and men by Lord
Northcote, the general governor, and
Sir Thomas Gibson Carmichael, after
which the visitors were entertained
at luncheon.

Chinese Born in America Barred.

San Francisco, Sept. City At
torney Long has furnished the
Board of Education an opinion deal
ing with the question of the admissi-
bility of native-born Chinese children
to public schools other than schools
established for them. In brief, he
holds that the question of nativity
has no bearing on the case; that Chi
nese children are Mongolians, ire
spective of birthplace, and that II
special schools of equal standing
are not provided for them, they are
entitled to attend any school. The
opinion is given in response to a
query from the Board of Education
with reference to the request of the
parents of three native-born Chinese
maidens who wished their daughters
to attend schools other than the ORR
entail school.
The political code provides that
every school shall be open for the
admission of all children between
and 81 years of age, residing in the
district. This section also author
ICES boards OF education to establish
separate schools for Indian, Chinese
or Monaghan children, and provides
that when such schools are estab-
lished, such children must not be
admitted to any other school.
The object Of the law is clearly to
segregate the white children OF the
public schools from those OF Mongol-
ian or Indian descent, and is not to
deny the latter of any of the equal
rights guaranteed by the constitu-
ton.
