Ger OF this city arresting anybody
on account OF hypnotism, hoodoo.
ism, or any other ism, is a false
alarm. They don't care, neither
does anybody else, so tar as this
paper is informed, how much hyp-
notism any little tickey show puts
on as long as that show complies
with common decency and obeys
the laws OF the country and the
city OF Tucumcari. Now, the rea.
son the chic. Of police made the
hypnotist remove the victim from
the window on Second street, is
easy. The little girl who was play.
ing the part OF the hypnotised, had
lain in the window on Second street
in one position since ! o'clock the
afternoon OF the day before,
nearly twenty.four hours, tor the
curious to look at, the sympathiz-
ing school children to wonder at.
and the vulgar to make indecent
remarks about, some such remarks
being made so the children heard
them. When some OF these pro-
ceedings got to the ca S OF parents
and they heard the story OF the
hypnotic corpse, they began to tire
OF the thing and the chief OF police
was accosted, he says, by a great
number OF people, with, Why do
you allow such procedure to con.
tinuep Finally the mayor was ask
ed why the cadaver could not he
covered up or curtained off from
view until the hypnotic lodge con-
vened, so that people passing that
street could ge; by without being
crowded of the sidewalk. 4 crowd
had collected around until women
were taking the middle OF the
street. The chic. after seeing the
mayor went I the hypohero and
asked him to take the hypoheroine
from the window or draw the cur
tain, as it was blocking the pas
sage, etc. The hypnobate became
inturiated and with language that
would require a red ribbon to get
through a typewriter, told the Off.
Ger in a very insolent way where
to head in, thereupon remarking
that he could not wake his victim
until s o'clock, but that he could
put her to sleep for thirty days,
and making a few CITATIONS pro-
claimed to her to sleep tor thirty
days and he would show them, etc.
The reporter was an eve witness
to there proceedings. Then the
mayor getting tired OF the insolence
ordered the young one to the cool
er, and incidentally, he went. The
hypobate evidently thought be
needed to make some such break
in order to advertise his show, as
it certainly did. He remarked to
the chief that he could wake her
anytime he got ready, as he was
taking him to the court house, but
he wouldn't, etc. The matter was
brought on by the hypobate, this
paper believes in order to increase
his house from 5000 the night be-
fore to a little more profitable bust
ness. But il is not likely that he
will ever sas a Tucumcari officer
and get away with it. Again, he
will not likely pull off any more
window performances in this city
provided such crude sensations
block the public thoroughfares.

DEBATE NEWBERG
IN THIS CITY

The Newberg high school debating
team, the champions Of the western
Oregon teams, will be here on April
80 to debate with the local high
school team. The winners Of that
contest will then debate with the
winners of the southern oregon cham
pionship for the state championship.
In the coming debate the subject
will be that OF ship subsidies, the same
subject used at Baker City. and Pen
dleton will again have the negative.
Judges for the coming debate have
not yet been chosen.
In order to meet the expenses con-
nected with the coming debate about
5000 will be needed and so the local
students are anxious to have the cor
dial support of the people of the city.
On May 22, the day following COM
mencement, a big track and field
meet will be held here and will be
participated in by all the high schools
of eastern oregon. At the same time

WARNER WILL
CASE AGAIN AT ISSUE

The Warner Young will case came

and her attorneys, having appeared
in answer to a citation instructing
them to appear and show cause why
the last will which appeared so mys-
teriously, should not be set aside as
petitioned for by the other heirs.
Owing to misunderstanding as to
dates, Judge Fee was not present at
1:30, but phoned in from the farm
that he would be in the court room
by 3 o'clock. 1t is probable that the
case will be Set for hearing.

JURY DECIDES IN
FAVOR OF HADDON

Less than half an hour was requlr-
ed by the jury yesterday afternoon
to bring in a verdict in favor of ]. A.
Haddon in the case of Polly versus
Haddon. This was a suit brought by
]. H. Polly against his uncle to COM
pei the payment of a note alleged
to have been signed by Haddon and
also money for labor, amounting in
all to something over s12O0
Haddon denied the signature to the
note and the jury evidently believed
the note to be forgery. The case was
hard fought, the trial lasting two
days.

NO COMPARISON
LET US PROVE n

The people of Pendleton and sur
rounding country are just beginning
to realize what really great bargains
we are offering in mems clothing.
Those who purchased suits during
the first days of our SIS sales have
told their friends and many have even
returned and purchased another,
knowing that such an opportunity
does not avail itself but seldom.
Just think Of it, suits that sell reg
ularly from $3.50 to $3.50 and rep
resent the work Of New York city's
leading correct style tailors, are SELL
ing here now for only $15.
You take your choice Of any suit
in our store. black and blue serges in
cluded, for this price.
It is no wonder that We are selling
more suits than all the others com
bined-business principles that are
modern and that have made US Pen
dleton's leading clothlers have given
US the bulk Of the clothing business,
sale or no sale, and not side show tao
tics.
We would rather sell you a suit at
the regular price-that we will ad-
nit, but when competition forced us
TO start sale we met them over the
line. As we never do things by
halves, we threw the best line Of
mems clothing ever brought to east
ern Oregon on sale-you to take your

Ed Hostetler, postmaster at The
Dalles and grand master of oregon
Odd Fellows, is in Pendleton today
and will spend the week in Umatilla
county visiting the smaller lodges.
He was at Helix last evening, COM
ing in this morning on the Northern
Pacific train.
His itinerary for the week is as
follows:
Adams-Tuesday night.
Hudson Bay-Wednesday.
weston-Thursday.
reewater-Friday
Athena-Saturday.
The grand master reports a very
pleasant meeting at Helix last eve-
ming and says he was surprised at
the flourishing condition Of the
lodge. Owning its own hall, which
is neatly furnished and fully equip
ped. the lodge is also out of debt and
has a thousand dollars in the treas
ury.
While Mr.. Hostetler will not be
able to visit all the lodges in tn,
state during his term of office, he is
making an especial effort to visit all
the lodges-especially the smaller
ones-in this part of the state. AS
most of the grand masters come from
Willamette valley points, the small
lodges in eastern oregon have not
been visited very often by that off,
cial. 1t is for this reason that the
present grand master is devoting a
week to the small lodges of Umatilla
county. Next year the grand mas
ter will be from La Grande and 1t is
expected that he will carry out the
present plan by visiting the small
lodges in the far eastern part of the
state.
Mr.. Hostetler says the condition Of
the order in Oregon is very prosper
Gus. The membership was increas-
ed about 1900 during the last year
and the number of lodges now in the
state is 1879. The total membership at
the first of the year was 1850.

Gh, You, Rich Kansas Farmer.


), The proverbially rich Kansas far
mer, local reports indicate, lis this
year to reach the height Of his pros
|perity. The wheat harvest was
never better, and it brings a dollar
or 80 q bushel at the railway sta
ttons. If the entire crop Of 8O,OOO,-
900 bushels We're sold at once, It
could give every man, woman and
child in the United States q dollar
and have enough left ror seed. If
the value OF Kansas corn, oats, al
falfa, potatoes. and sugar beetsl were
equally distributed, it is calculated
that everybody in the United States
could afford q two weeks holiday.
That is but one of the states of the
West that this year are smiling with
prosperity. They know not the fear
of money stringency, and the voice
of, the croaker is not heard in that
land, blessed with q happy mingling
of rain and sunshine.
Expert statisticians predict a cot
ton crop Of not more than l1,50O.-
600 bales, or about 100000 bales
below that of last year There has
been excess Of rain in the Mississippi
valley, and too much dry weather IN
the Southeast and in Texas The
outlook Is, therefore, for a higher
price. This will be a condition un-
welcome in the market of England,
where the mills In the great factory
districts are curtailing productions.
This will restrict consumption, es-
pecially Of cheap goods made in Eng
land. The effect will be relt in this
country in higher prices for better
grades Of goods, which will be a de-
terrent to the output of the mills.
