TO whom I issued the license. am certain that
am not mistsken."-Deputy County Clerk
Cunha OF Oakland
Men have from time to time forgot
ten that they were married but Rob
ert J. Adams, vaudeville actor, musi-
cian and humorist, appears TO be the
hrst to deny acquaintance with his
bride More is the surprise, for by the
testimony of the license she is none
other than the winsome Miss Anzo-
Meta Moore, heiress and aspirant for
the laurels of the stage
IL the license tells the truth Adams
and Miss Moore have plighted their
troth
II Adams tells the truth he and
Miss Moore are absolutely as unac-
quainted as two souls can be.
If Deputy County Clerk Cunha of
Oakland tells the truth Adams applied
in person for the permit to marry.
If the gossips tell the truth Adams
and Miss Moore have been stars in a
little romance of their own
GIRL VANIsHEs FROM HOTEL
In this dilemman what is a sensi-
tive public to do? 1t does not like to
call either Adams or Cunha by the
uglier or the shorter word. AS for
Miss Moore, she has vanished from
her apartments at the St Francis hotel
with never a word, save only that
she'll return to claim her mail.
Of IL laf Z
the license stands firm-insusceptible
Of contradiction. 1t recites in well
blotted ink: Licensed to marry Rob
ert J. Adams, SO, Anzonetta Moore, l9.
The mystery, the romance, the ele-
ment of the unusual all are in keep
ing with the capricious behavior of
Miss Moore. The daughter of James NJ
Moore. millionaire lumberman of Chi
cago, she came west with her mother
TO Reno. Leaving her mother in the
colony of divorces to wait for her de-
cree, the vivacious young woman hied
her 70 San Francisco to plunge into
theatrical life. Instead it was matri-
mony.
~ABSURD.. DECLARES ACTOR
If the man in the case is not Robert
J. Adams. the vaudeville actor, no one
in Oakland or San Francisco has been
found who can qualify.

land was equally positive. THE man
who took out the license is playing
at the .Orpheum this week as one of
The Two Bobs." he said. He gave
his name as Robert J. Adams and his
age as 33. The girl said she was 49,"
Cunha was shown a photograph Of

the next chief of staff of the United
States army. His appointment was

General ]. Franklin Bells four years
term in that Office will expire.
General Wood was a great favorite
of President Roosevelt, who made
special request of President Taft that
Wood should have the choice plum

General Woods rise in the army has
been one of the most spectacular in
military history. Entering the medical

he has been promoted by leaps and
bounds, SO that next April, when he as
sumes his new duties at the war de-
partment, he will be at the head of the
army. He is only 49 years of age.
Attention was called to Wood before
he had been in the army six months.
When serving as assistant surgeon he
voluntarily carried dispatches through
a region infested with hostile Indians,
making a journey of 10 miles in one
night and walking 80 miles next day.
In the same campaign he took COM
mand of a detachment of infantry with
out an officer when an encounter was
hourly expected with Geronimo. For
this action in this campaign he was
awarded a medal of honor in 1898.
COLONEL OF ROUGH RIDERS
In the Spanish American war he was
colonel of the Rough Riders. For his
services at Las Guasimas and San Juan
hill he was made brigadier general.
Later he was promoted to be major
general and was made governor gen.
eral of Cuba.
After the. withdrawal of the Ameri-
can forces from Cuba General Wood
finally became commander of the
Philippine division.

PRESENT WRITING TABOOED.
Uniform Method to Be Used in PhIla-
delphia Schools.

Philadelphia, July 12.-Both vertical
and Spencerian handwriting have been
tabooed in the public schools of this
city, and after this a uniform method
of penmanship will be adopted.
Numerous complaints have been re
ceived from business men who can't
decipher the writing of their clerks and
applicants for jobs who have learned
their peculiar style of chirography in
the public schools.
For some time Superintendent Brum-
baugh has been at work on a plan to
unity and improve the writing, and
this plan was adopted at meeting of
the elementary schools committee.
A free, legible style of writing,
slightly slanting to the right, will be
taught. Students, no matter how ad-
vanced they may think their fiourishes,
will have to begin again with pot hooks
and ciphers.
According to the new code, writing
will be taught like calisthenics or a
manual exercise. The teacher will
clap her hands and count, and the en-.
tire class will make letters with hooks
and tails and crosses simultaneously
The exercise is intended to give free
mechanical movement to the arm ano
increase the speed.

RevoIutionists in Persia Gaining on
Government Forces.
st. Petersburg, July 12.-The Rus
sian expedition from Baku which land
ed at Enzell, Persian seaport on the
Caspian yesterday, is made up of 1000
Russian and 800 Cossack cavalry, with
eight field guns and eight machine
guns. Despite the correct attitude
maintained by the Russians, the natives
are demonstrating their unfriendliness.
The unopposed advance of Siphidar,
the leader of the revolutionists, and
Sardarasad, the chief of the Bakhtiari
tribesmen, towards Teheran, is taken
here to mean that General Liakhoff,
the governor of Teheran, considers his
force inadequate to engage in a general
battle, and that he has decided to en-
ploy his Cossack brigade merely as a
guard over the life of the shah.
Persons we'll informed here regard
the entrance of the revolutionists into
Teheran as foregone conclusion, while
the deposition of the shah, which sew
eral times has been mooted, will now
arouse no surprise.

OREGON STATE items OF INTEREST
BUILD TO SIUSLAW.
Holding Company Will Back Eugene &
Western in New Road.

Eugene-The Eugene-Siuslaw rail-
road, which has long been talked of,
appears now to soon be a reality. The
proposition to build the road has
reached point where the promoters of
the enterprise feel that the building of
the line is certainty. The Lane
County Asset company, which was Or
ganized in Eugene last winter for the
purpose of promoting the line, will be
the holding company for the Eugene &
Western Railway company, which was
incorporated few weeks ago to build
the road. Offices have been opened
here and operations will be directed by
the asset company.
1t is the intention to offer for sale to
the people of Eugene and vicinity at
least $3.50, 600 of the stock of the Lane
County Asset company, the funds to be
used in building the first section of 20
miles of the road. When this has been
accomplished it is proposed to turn all
the assets over to the Eugene & West
ern Railway company, issuing stock
holders the same amount of stock in the
railroad company as they have paid for
in the asset company and to issue and
sell the bonds of the railway company
for the purpose of completing the road
to Florence.

ESKIMO WILL SEEK POLE.
Boy Brought Here by PearY Will Try
for Arctic Honors.

DOv Drought TleTe DT TedTf WIN Try
for Arctic Honors.
New York, July IL. - Separated
from his native home for 13 years,
Meme Wallace, an Eskimo boy brought
to this country with five of his people
by Commander Peary from the Polar
regions, sailed today on the Red Cross
line steamship Rosalind, for St. Johns,
N. F., whence he will be conveyed to
his home in Greenland.
Before Meme sailed, the Arctic club
extracted from him written agree
ment that he would not again return to
this country and that while in Green
land he would not bears arms against
the Peary expedition. This was due,
it is believed, to the fact that Meme,
angered at the attitude of Peary and
the Arctic club in refusing to take
him back to Greenland, once safe in
his native home, might seek revenge
for the treatment he received while in
this country.
Meme said he would organize an ex-
pedition of Eskimos to find the North
pole.

klamath. Falls-It took the jury just
25 minutes to find a verdict for the de-
fendant in the Kelley-Arant damage
suit, last of the cases resulting from
the criminal prosecution of Jay Arant,
who was indicted for the larceny of a
calf more than two years ago. Araht
was twice tried on charge of larceny,
the first trial resulting in disagree
ment, while the second acquitted him.
Three cases resulted over the ownership
of the calf. The calf involved in the
litigation was worth approximately
$40. The money expended in litigation
will aggregate close to $40, 900, and of
this amount the taxpayers of the coun-
ty will be forced to pay not less than
Sc, 900.
