once the Moulin Rouge was a cafe
where some Partisan men ate and drank
sang and danced with their ill-faEeC
sweet hearts. Stunning tourists founl
it out and told their friends at HON
about it, These accounts sent more
visitors. and soon the genuine joy
makers, seeing that they had become
performers for the amusement Of
strangers. betook themselves elsewhere
for their revelries. The disTepute of the
Moulin Rouge was carefully fUsteseG
though, by means of shameless men
hired to carouse with girls from tds
street. Rival resorts sprung up
Maxims thrived especially through
being shown in the farce of The Cir
From Maxim's" and The Morry
Widow" The Abbey was an ensuing
slum cafe to thrive on an evil reputa-
ton gained mainly by representations Of
it on the stage in foreign lands.
One after another these places lost
vogue to newer ones They are open
yet, but more celebrated this summer
are the Bal TabaTin, which [ described
two Sundays ago as an enlarged elabo-
ration OF its predecessors. and the Dead
Rat, close duplicate of them.
The Dead Rat. like the other cafes
where tourists go to see low Partisan
depravity, is a fake. Not a whit of its
gaiety, except such as the Summers
themselves provide, is else than make
believe 1t is a second-story hall, not
dingy nor grimy, but white of walls
and bright Of lamps There is no stage,
as most Of the performers purpOrt to be
impulsive volunteers from the tables
that crowd nearly all the floor; and for
them a stingy space is kept clear at
the center. You see, the traffic in drink
is too profitable to be circumsCribed
The only beverage here is champagne.
You don't pay anything to get in. but
the price of several bottles to stay long,
and they must be quarts, as pints are
not served,
Hilarity was high when I entered the
Dead Rat two hours past midnight. All
the chairs at the close-set tables were
occupied by well -dressed men and Wo-
men-mOstly English and American,
with some continental Europeans but
no Frenchmen except a few showing
foreign friends around town. OF Paris
ian pleasure-seekers there was none. nor
any trace of the genuine local revelry
supposed to characterize the place. All
was sham. The assemblage was gener-
ating its own deviltry with the wine it
had to buy and felt bound to drink.
A poor, weak, drOoling show Of gaiety
was kept up by attaches in the central
space. A band played popular airs and
to most Of them several couples waltzed.
The girls Of these couples were young
and cOmely; also chic in a Partisan
way, but weary with their hard work of
imitation play, as they had danced five
hours almost necessarily. The men who
waltzed with them were hired. A real
coon singer and banjo strummer was a
white girls dancing partner, and he
looked healthier than the siCkly
French1hen in the same service. Once
I'm a while an exhilarated visitor
danced; and one of these was a gray
beard who wouldn't do such a thing at
home in New York. A belle Of Gotham,
too, under frisky excitement, and with

Dudley Evans, the well known
brakeman in the o. r. & n. passen-
ger service between Pendleton and
Huntington, is now at his home, $50
Thompson street, recovering from in
juries sustained in an accident yes
terday by which he miraculously es-
capped with his life. Fellow trainmen
are still trying to figure out how it
was possible for him to be knocked
from a swiftly moving passenger
train and not sustain so much as a
broken bone.
The accident occurred the other side
of Kamela yesterday morning as No.
was speeding down the mountain
side toward Hllgarde.
He was jerked from the lower steps
of one of the coaches as he was lean
ing out watching for retainers, and
the wheels, neither he nor anyone
else can quite explain. Unnoticed to
him the train was passing a sign pole
set near the tracks, which has to do
with the signal service. and, almost
instantly, the accident came. Before
he fully recovered from the shock
that all but dislocated his shoulder,
cut and bruised him in a dozen places,
he was left alone in the mountains.
Suffering with pain he manfully
trudged back to Kamela, but before
going far was overtaken by a freight
train and given lift to the summit,
from where he was taken TO La
Grande on a light engine. Doctor
Hall dressed the bruises and sent
Evans to his home here on No. /,
yesterday. He has a wife and two
children.
His right shoulder received the
brunt of the fall, but his face Is bad
ly cut and gashed.
He is so badly bruised and cut up
that the doctors have been unable
to determine for sure whether or not
any bones Were broken but il is be-
leyed that the bones are all sound.
None Of the other trainmen or pas
sengers witnessed the accident and he
was not missed until long after the
accident had happened. He himself
is not clear as TO the details of the
accident

on account of poor health. He is
greatly improved.
Attorney Dan P. Smythe returned
this morning fro ma brief visit to his
sheep ranch near Arlington. He says
the work of shearing in that vicinity
is progressing rapidly and under IA
vorable conditions.
Bert Huffman, local representative
of the land department of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway company, re-
turned this morning from Alberta,
where he had been to show a party of
'landseekers what his company has to
sell.
John Berry, formerly proprietor of
the Golden Rule hotel and a resident
of this city for several years, passed
through Pendleton last evening on
his way from his parent home in Mil
ton to the counties east of the noun
tains.
A. E. Eberhart, the weli-known
bridge builder, being the representa-
tive of the Columbia Bridge Build
ing company of Waila Walla, is in
the city on business in connection
with the building of the six new steel
bridges.
Wsiter A. Wyatt, at one time tele-
graph editor of the East Oregonian,
but recently business manager and
editor of the Weiser Signal, arrived
in Pendleton this afternoon. He is
on his way to Calgary to take look
at the country.
Charles Vinson came in today
from his ranch in the Holdman coun-
try, being called as a witness before
the grand jury. He is the man from
whom three neighbor boys are al
legged to have stolen a horse.

NEW OFFICIAL ON
PORTLAND TRAINS

For the first time since the o. R.
& N line was built through eastern
oregon, a train agent or auditor has
been put on a train between this city
and Portland. His name is A. A. Loeb
and he went out on his first run this
morning, leaving for Portland on the
local. He will come back on the re-
turn trip tomorrow evening.
This service has been contemplated
by the head officials for some time
and it is expected that instead of
having an auditor for every other day
one will soon be put on every train.
The business of the auditor is to
collect all tickets and look after the
passengers in general, while it will be
the business of the regular conductor
to run the train. The regular con-
ductor will be the superior officer.
Mr.. Loeb has been in the service of
the o. r. & N. for a number of years
and Ia a popular and well known
trainman. He has been "exchanger"
out Of Portland for a number of
years.

The plans for the new steel bridge
to replace the old wooden structure
across the Umatilla river on Lee street
have finally been agreed upon, bids
will be advertised for at once, and the
work of construction will be started
within a few weeks. This is the re-
suit of a conference held yesterday
afternoon between the county court
and the street committee from the
city council.
1t was finally decided yesterday
that the bridge should be built of
steel with concrete abutments, con-
crete pier in the center of the river
and 20 foot roadway. The plans
and specifications are now being pre-
pared by A. e. Eberhart of the Col
umbia Bridge building company of
Walla Walla, he having met with the
court and street committee yesterday.
The next weekly issues of the local pa
pers will contain the advertisement
for bids.
The bridge will consist of two
spans, the one to be erected by the
city being 100 feet in length and that
by the county 110 feet in length. Each
will call for bids on its particular span
and the expense of constructing the
centre pier will be met by the city
and county Jointly, each paying half.
The bridge will be what is known
as q 20 ton structure. That means
that it will be guaranteed to hold up
20 tons on each square foot OF
bridge surface. AS this will be much
greater than any burden which the
bridge will have to bear it will be
seen that the structure will be sub
stantial.

RICH DENVER MAN
MISSING FOR A MONTH

Denver.-The police of Denver are
seeking the whereabouts of Clarence
E. Morley, wealthy Nevada mine
owner. who disappeared about a month
ago. Morley came to Denver six
weeks ago to be treated for tubercu-
losis. He said he had s27,0 in cash
with him when he arrived.
The police have been notified by a
local physician that Morley applied
for treatment and said that he be-
lieved he was being drugged by some
one who would profit by his death.
He has been traced to the Military
hospital at Fort Logan, but has not
been seen since he left that institu-
ton a month ago.
The police have ben notified that
Morley died at Fort Logan but the
records at that place do not confirm
this rumor.
