The organ recital at the Church OF
the Redeemer last Monday evening
was one of the treats of the season
for all Pendleton lovers Of things mu-
sical. 1t was a dlgnified and delight
fully charming musical entertainment
and in appreciation of the event the
house of worship on the corner OF
Alta and Johnson streets was packed
to the doors. The effect of the music
was also sufficient to touch the pock-
ct books and the silver offering taken
was very generous one. Mrs. John
Ross Dickson and DR.. Elmer Hill, the
soloists, were both in excellent voice
and never appeared to better advan-
tage. Both rendered two solos each
to the great delight of the audience
while the organ numbers by Mrs w.
c. Earl Prutt were rendered in a
manner that is always pleasing and
her interpretations of the evening
were probably enjoyed more than usu-
al. Mrs. Pruitt is not merely a tech
nical performer for she interprets her
music understandingly and renders
them with expression.
The principal wedding Of the week
occurred Wednesday afternoon at the
farm OF Mr.. and Mrs. f. B. Shafer
when their daughter, Miss Ethel Sha-
fer became the bride of Mr.. Charles
Michaels, son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. F.
Michael. The ceremony was perform
ed at o'clock by Rev. f. w. Warning
ton, pastor Of the Presbyterian church
in Pilot Rock. The contracting par
ties are well known throughout this
section of. Umatilla county and there
were many guests present at the we'd
ding. Among these were Mr.. Sterling
Sloan, Mr.. James Thompson. Mr.. Her
bert Thompson Miss May Taylor. Mr..
and Mrs. Fl. j. Taylor Miss Hazel
Taylor, Miss Mable Shafer, Miss Nora

ROOSEVELT is TORN
TO PIECES BY LIONEss

The following is from the San
Francisco Examiner:
An Indian CONTROL showed y m
Philip ]. Jordan last night the dark
recess of the jungles of British East
Africa, and therein Theodore Roose-
welt torn limb from limb by an en-
ragged lioness. Kermit, the former
presidents son, according to Jordan
was with his father, but was power
less to avert his death.
Jordan is member of the Occult
Union. He resides at 1861 Park
street, Alameda. He telephoned
about his vision to the Examiner last
night.
THE vision came to me early in
the evening" he said. Under the
guidance of the Indian l saw the
terrible African jungle. Roosevelt ap-
peared in a fearful struggle with a
huge lioness
Before my eyes he was torn limb
from limb. I saw his mangled body
lying there after his son Kermit had
va.nly tried to slay the lioness.

ZEPPELIN WILL
HAVE ANOTHER RIVAL

Berlin.-Much interest has been ar
oused here by the details Of the great
dirgble balloon which Professor
Schultz of Danzing is at present con-
at Mannheim. in a shed spe-
rcially built for the purpose. According
to the facts now made public about
this new drgible, it will be by far
the largest ever. constructed.
1t is more than a quarter as large
again as. the Zepplin airship, and its
motors will develop something be-
tween 500 and sou horsepower, which
in favorable circumstances should
mean a speed of nearly sixty kilome-
ters per hopr
The most important of the modifi-
cations introduced by Professor Schu-
tie Is the use OF a light wooden struc-
ture in place of metal, change which,
it is believed, will avoid the danger
which threatens aeronauts from the
electricity in the air, in the case of
dirgibles which contain a quantity of
exposed metal.
1t is hoped that trial trip with
the monster will be possible in the
early autumn.

COUNTERFEITERS ARE
MOST CLEVER ENGRAVERS

Seattle, Ayg 2S.--That the most
skillful engravers that have ever been
known in the United States, have been
counterfelters, is the statement OF a
prominent official Of the printing Of
flee In the government building of the
Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc, exposition.
The government has prepared an
exhibit Of the method Of printing gov
eminent bills, and it was in this con-
nection that this rather startling ad-
mission was made. The government
employs the most skillful of engravers
insofar as 1t is possible; but they can
not pay the sums that are necessary
to dissuade the best men from at
tempting to get rich quick by counter
feiting.
Some Of the counterfeit bills which
have been detected have actually oeen
superior in point of workmanship to
the United States currency. The paper
which Is used and the system of num-
bering makes It possible to detect even
these counterfeits but it is extremely
difficult Some. Of the best counter
feiters have continued for years in the
business of duplicating the currency
of the United States.
A number Of men who were artists
OF this character are now serving
terms in federal prisons, but it is prob
able that many more are still at large
TOO skillful for the detectives of the
government to catch.

The girls resigning are generally

Operators declare there is little fascl-
