Lovers of good music filled every
seat in Memorial hall last night to hear
the recital given by the Parlor Musical
Society in it's first large musical Of the
season. In addition to the regular
members, several young ladies home
from studying in Boston assisted and
the program was one of unusual merit.
Friends of Miss Carrie Piper of Lynn,
Mass, formerly of this city, the wo-
man who recently advertised fora hus-
band in Lynn paper. will be interest
ed to learn that she has called the mat
ter off, having become. as she says,
thoroughly disguised with the publicity
which attended it. She says that she
advertised in good faith but received
so many letters, even from men after
she refused to consider their proposals,
that she is sorry that she had any
thing to do with the scheme. Miss
Piper's former friends in Belfast had
hard work to imagine her mixed up
in any such affair.
Mrs. f. J. Morrison entertained the

being held in allegiance. Estimates as
to the cost Of such trip, however,
are being made. The President will
remain at the summer home until late
in August. Even if he goes West he
will not begin the trip until that time.
The first act was on when the Taft
party took their seats in the box that
had been reserved, almost unobserved.
The theatre had been darkened, and the
stage was partly in darkness. Two secret
service men took stations behind the
selves under the box
Mr.. Southern responded to three curtain
calls after the first act but did not notice
the Presidential party, the lights not
having been turned up. But when he had
responded to his last curtain call the
lights We're turned up and the orchestra
burst forth with THE Star Spangled Ban
ner."
This brought the audience to it's feet
and then the President was discovered.
There was a great craning of necks with
an instantaneous applause and cheers.
President Taft finally stood up and bowed
three times and then continued to study
his program
While President Taft was on his way
from the ED street ferry to the home of
his brother. the automobile in which
he was riding came to a sudden stop.
The chauffeur tried all the levers. but

ACUTE INDIGESTION

The Rapid Increase Of This Dangerous

Acute Indigestion has caused the
death of many a good man or woman

sufferer only Eeen able to get prompt
relief.
The formation of gas in the stomach
is so rapid-and the pressure so strong

less relief is promptly given, it quickly
| stops the heart action. and death ensues
almost at once.
IL taken in time-and in liberal

UNDER TONS OF ROCK.
Granville, N. ", Man Rescued After
Buried by Landslide.

West Peulet, VT, April 14.-After being
imprisoned since yesterday afternoon be-
meath tons of earth and slate in the state
quarry of Owen Brothers in Granville,
N. Y, just across the Vermont line,
Thaddeus Braeobics was rescued today.
He was badly bruised and suffering from
a nervous collapse, but it is expected that
he suffered no serious injuries. He was
taken to hospital at Albany.
Shortly before noon today the rescue
party at work removing the mass of dirt
and rock which slid into the quarry yes
terday and killed three and possibly four
men, heard a faint voice not far from the
spot where they had rescued Braeobics.
They Immediately made every effort to
reach the other men caught among the
rocks.
When the hundreds of tons of embank-
nent, loosened by the melting frost, slid
without warning into the quarry, Stephen
Salts George KOrmas and Michael Fo-
mensky were killed outright The body of
Salts was recovered last night but the
other two were still in the debris today.
Simon Topeka is thought to have been
killed, although it is possible that he may
be the man whose voice was heard this
noon. 1t is not definitely known that any
others besides Braeobics were caught
beneath the landslide.
Braeobics was standing beside large
pillar which fell in such way that while
he was imprisoned he was not crushed
and there was a free air passage to the
spot where he lay. His calls for help
were heard by the rescuers last night and
soon they We're able to reach him with
food and drink. 1t was not until about
A. NJ. today, however, that the great
rocks could be removed and the man set
at liberty.

BRING SUIT
TO HAVE LIEN
FORECLOSED

Suit was commenced in the superior
court this morning by Anton Kass
against Albert Foster to foreclose a
lien for $45 and costs which the plain
tiff claims is due him on account of
carpenter work. The work was done
last October and lien was filed in
November.
According to the complaint, Kass
was to do carpenter work by contract
to the amount of $45. He claims
that when he had it nearly done, the
defendant stopped him and refused to
let him finish and also refused to pay
him. Whereupon he filed a lien
against the house he had been work
ing upon and now asks that the lien
be foreclosed. He asks for the $45
due on contract, s25 attorney fee and
so cents for filing the lien

Another pleasant custom of the
Chinese New Year is that of paying
debts. No deeper disgface can attach
to a son of the dragon empire than to
be unable or unwilling to discharge
all his Indebtedness on the first day
of the year. If there is such an un-
fortunate being in Chinatown today,
be sure that he is not celebrating
with his fellows. A murderer might
be forgiven, and even the blasphem-

to pay his just debts on New Year
day-the Chinese He'll has no depths

Milton People
Badly Shocked

People Of Milton were much shocked
yesterday, when picking up their
phones, they found the wires had blown
across the trolley line and were car
rying a heavy voltage. Luckily the
trolley wire did not impart enough
current to the telephones to cause any
serious injury, but anyone at the 9TH
er end certainly would have heard
a current of shocking language had
they listened when unsuspecting Mil
tonites picked up their phones
During the heavy wind of night be-
fore last several telephone poles were
toppled over and the wires thrown
across the trolley wire. AS a result,
the telephone wires were soon carry
ing a heavy voltage which they were
free to let loose on anyone who I'M
hung his receiver.
The trouble was quickly renedied
and aside from a few surprises and
rather heavy shocks no one was in
jured.

AND thus the new reporters SCOOP
1t was the story of some boys who had
been nailed before the court because
they had thrown rock through a WIN

and told them that it was naughty.
naughty to throw rocks through win
dows, and that if they did it again toe

Lafferty was bold bad man around
Prescott a few weeks ago and had the
town going" No one dared interfere
with him and he was cock of the
walk" Finally he became so Obstreper-
GUS that Marshal Long decided he must
be placed in the Jail. Taking his
deputy, he went after him.
Their man was found in the middle
of the street and standing there he de-
fled the marshal, his deputy ana the
whole town. And he "buffaloed' the

Trains leave
For Spokane

Rail communication with Spokane
over the o. R & N. road was reestab-
lished this morning, when a special
train left for Hay, station above Ri
paria, where passengers and mail
were transferred to the Spokane bound
train. and passengers coming this way
will be brought in this afternoon. The
service with the Falls City, owing to
washouts between here and Starbuck,
is being carried over the Wallula
branch, and from Wallula up the river
on the main line.
The o. r. & n. branch from here to
Portland via Wallula, is in excellent
condition. and trains are now operat-
ing on the former schedules Passen-
gers for Pendleton are sent to Wallula,
and thence through Umatilla to the
Oregon city, while passengers to way
points between here and Adams are
accommodated with a special that goes
as far as Adams, near which place
800 yards of track are reported to
have been washed out.
Trains on the Northern Pacific and
the S. P. & S. are running on sched-
ules, all damage done by freshets hav-
ing been repaired. But though trains
have been running out Of Spokane on
the main line, Walla Wallans have re-
ceived little or no Falls City mail
from the Pasco connections, and the
train this afternoon is expected to
bring in large quantities of delayed
matter
The o. r. & n. line to Dayton has
not been opened. the washouts be-
tween Walla Walla and Prescott hav-
ing been too numerous to repair in
so short a time, and it may be day
or so yet before traffic over that line
can be resumed Work trains are now
out on all branches. and it is ex-
pected report on the progress of
the work being done will be forth
coming this afternoon.
