win over Chicago. in the Y. M. c. A..
basket ball league last evening, the
Midwayites came around strong and
won out in the last few minutes Of
play 1t seemed as if every one would
find the basket. Carlisle was further
weakened by the absence Of Cain, who
has an injured foot. The Indians
looked to be one of the strongest
teams in the league at the opening of
the season. The team now is in such
a weakened condition that it is proba-
bic a meeting of the athletic commit
tee will be held and players awarded
the cellar champions.
Tomorrow evening Princeton and
Cornell tie up again. Princeton is
anxious to capture the contest SO as to

DO NOT

AT ONCE

The secretary of the Salem Board
of Trade receives scores of letters
daily. and among them are some
very curious requests. One of the
latest is that of a blushing young
lady in Springfield, Ohio, who writes
as follows:
Kindly sGad me some names and
addresses of some gentlemen of this
city who would like to correspond
with good Eastern girls, who pre-
fer men with no bad habits, and
positively no drunkards. Am IS
years of age, feet, 6 inches tall,
brown eyes and brown hair with a
natural wave. fair complexion, rosy
cheeks, dimples and pearly teeth
jolly and loving disposition.
''Will be very much obliged if
granted this favor"
This epistle bears the stamp of
sincerity upon it, and, while this
paper does not wish to interfere with
the possibilities of Oregons charm
ing young women, it prints this let
ter for the benefit of the young men
of the community who might be in
terested
1t might be well to suggest that
the name of the writer will be re-
vealed to the young man who will
pay the highest price into the Board
of Trade treasury. 1t sounds good,
mighty good, and is worth a good
price for the right fellow.

PLAY is
CREDIT TO
The STORY

The claim is made, and, what is
more to the point, it is substantial
ed, that, from the standpoint Of roy
alties, the dramatization of LENA
from Mrs. Mary j. Holmes
novel, is one of the most expensive
plays now touring the country Ev-
cry one knows of the tremendous
success which Mrs. Holmes book has
enjoyed for the past so years, for 1t
has been that long since it was
placed on the market. The demand
for it established records in the book
world that have never been sur
passed. and night and day the print
ers were rushed to meet the ap-
parently never to cease call for the
novel. Theatrical managers have
long seen the possibilities of the
novel, but the publishers, quick to
see their advantage, held off the me-
gotiations, and it was a matter of
only a little while before the man
ayers began to bid against one an
other for it's possession. 1t is known
that big sum was paid down to the
dramatists before Barton & Wis
we'll received their play This firm,
who own the right of the novel, took
the risk cheerfully, and that their
judgment was not at fault is proven
by the vast success the play has en-
joyed. Despite it's cost the play has
been immensely profitable to the
managers. In several of the larger
cities it holds the record for large
receipts. Barton & Wiswell bring
their identical production used in
the cities here.
Miss Emma Bunting who plays
Lena" is one of the prettiest and
most clever little leading women on
the road. Her ability to take on the
years that are supposed to pass over
the play during its action has caused
much favorable comment from the
critics. From a little barefooted
girl, in the third act, to the beau
tiful young woman in the last act
she plays each succeeding step in
age with equal charm and fitness.
She is supported by a competent

VICTIM OF
HIS OWN
FOOLERY

A delivery horse attempted to
"side-step" a piece of paper on State
street this morning, and fell fiat on
its side. The wind had picked up
large yellow sheet of paper and car
ried it along the pavement directly
under the horses nose, as the beast
was standing In front of the Frist
Methodist church. The horse gave
jump sideways, and, slipping on
the wet pavement, landed fiat on its
side. No damage was sustained,
however, and after the animal had
been put on his feet again he was
driven off with head hanging.
