Polly" declared she must have
some unusual way of announcing her
engagement, so after much careful
thought this was evolved: The 20 spe-
clal friends were asked for thimble
party, and there was nothing doing
until refreshments were served. Then
each guest found little envelope on
the plate and the hostess explained
that inside there would be found
jumbled lot Of letters that the letters
Of each color would spell one word,
and there was Just one word in each
envelope and all we're the sama color
In each envelope, so each one made
their word, and the light gradually
dawned as the story was told by the
guests putting their words together.
1t was great fun and ended the after.
noon in a most happy manner. as the
little brlde-elect was a great favorite,
and she was fairly beaming when all
began to offer good wishes and wanted
to know "all about It."

"The Cat and the Fiddle" which
was such big success here last sea-
son, and which was to play at the
oregon theater Monday, October II,
has been cancelled. When the Bos-
tonian opera company was booked
about six weeks ago through Jack
Huston, secretary of the Commercial
club. the booking sheet of the Ore
gon was in such a shape that it was
impossible for me to name the exact
open dates in October without a de-
lay of several days. So October g.
10-11 we're considered. After look
ing over the booking sheet I discov-
cred that the "Cat and the Fiddle
held Monday, october IL and imme-
diately notified Huston, who paid no
attention to it, That was five weeks
ago. The two weeks cancellation
clause is the essence of every theatri-
cal contract, I am very sorry that
the Commercial club was represented
in the matter by one so untitled for
the position. The theatrical patrons
will lose a real show in "The Cat and
the Fiddle"

HAZING INCIDENT
LEADS TO BLOODSHED

Snohomish, Wash.-The high
school of this city is in furore today
over the shooting affray that occur
red on the campus last evening.
Claud Stretch, a sophomore, is suf-
fering from a painful though not dan
gerous bullet wound in the leg and it
is claimed that Guy Bakeman, son of
Coroner Bakeman of this county, did
the shooting The affair is said to be
the outcome of a hazing episode
which took place at a recent fresh
man dance, when a crowd of fresh
men took Bakeman from the ball
room and cut his hair in a very in
artistic fashion.
Bakeman and a number Of other
students were on the school grounds
last evening when one Of the students
lifted Bakeman's hat and made some
facetious remark about his hair. This
angered Bakeman, and it is alleged
he drew a revolver from his pocket
and fired, the bullet striking Stretch.
All the students concerned in the
affair are sons of prominent families
of this city. Several expulsions and
suspensions will follow, it is said. The
school authorities declare that hazing
must stop, if every boy in the school
has to be expelled
