The suit was halted suddenly Sat

illness of Mrs. Frances Burnes Mrs
Loves mother. was given as the cause
Tor the recess in the trial Mrs
Burnes is in local hospital recov-
ering from stroke of apoplexy.
Baker City has never had divorce
case of such interest, and Saturday
everybody had an eye for the prin.
cipals. 1t was soon general knowledge
that Mr.. and Mrs. Love had dined to-
gether Saturday evening.
Reconciliation rumors took on the
cloak of fact when Mr.. and Mrs. Love,
plaintiff and defendant In the bitter
divorce suit, were seen walking to-

diversion in Baker City, and the Loves
seemed to enjoy themselves thorough
ly.
Their steps finally led toward the
hospital where Mrs Burnes, the moth
er-in-law who has been so frequently
mentioned in the testimony, lies ill.
Sidney Love did not go farther than
the entrance, but his farewell to his
wife was most friendly

Burnes took an opportunity to destroy
this friendly condition.
What are the chances of a recon
citation now?' he was asked.
Perhaps he said smiling. But
one must not discuss prospects,

learned that the whereabouts of little

At the hospital it was said that Mrs.

believed that she will be able to
leave the hospital within week BY
that time, however many think that
her testimony will not be needed, ae
the Loves will have made UP their

silver wedding celebration at the
white house last night was the most
brilliant and spectacular social affair
and the greatest magnitude ever seen
In the historic mansion and grounds,
Invitations had been sent to close to
10000 persons, and while the official
count OF those who shook hands with
the president was not given out, 1t was
estimated that at least 5000 persons
were present
Never in the history of the nation
probably has such function been
held in Washington. The diplomatic
corps, the United States Supreme
Court, the senate and the house, the
departments OF the government. the
men who are high in political affairs.
the army, the navy, and every walk In
life almost were represented.
The cool, clear night that made a
reception on the lawn in the open air
possible prevented the crush that the
white house for days has been afraid
of, and made the reception not only
brilliant and unusual, but delightful In
every respect The guests would have
filed the white house but the grounds
are ample and there was no crush and
no confusion
Possibly $4,000 persons crowded
about the iron fence that surrounds
the grounds and looked longingly at
the electric display, the splashing
fountain and the gay throng which
was within.

AN ABIDING PLACE
FOR THE TOURISTS
Attention Of the World Called to the
Early Opening of the New Hotel
Adams

Among the special bulletins now be-
ing sent out by the board of trade is
one that is being forwarded To tourist
ccnters in every direction, apprising
the travelling public Of the early open
ing Of the new Hotel Adams. The
purpose Of the bulletin is not parti-
cularly t. boost a private enterprise
but attention is being called 10 the
new hotel in a broader sense. It's
predecessor was for many years Il
great attraction and convenience for
those who came here and drew many
tourists to this city who would not
otherwise have come here. The new
hotel is just as much finer than the
old one. as the old one was better
than anything the city had before its
day 1t is therefore in a sense pub
lie institution and its opening will
mean much to Phoenix. Following is
the bulletin:
Miles Of carpet of the rarest makes
and choicest designs have been pur-
chased, carloads Of furniture, specially
constructed that life may be made
easy for the guests, are being for
warded from important Eastern man
Ufacturing centers. Arizona is being
ransacked for the choicest Of Indian
rugs. basketry, pottery and interesting
things. This is the response that
Phoenix has made TO the demand foI
modern comfort and convenience to be
placed at the disposal Of the traveller
Wonderful as the progress has beer
in hotel construction during the past
few years. in no place has such com
plete advantage been taken of modern
improvements. Combining to give
their city the best possible benefit in
modern hotel accommodation and
equipment, the capitalists of Phoenix
have erected an establishment that

world known hotels in comfort and
convenience
The largest concrete arch roof i'm
existence is a feature Of the lobby
construction. The building is fire
proof throughout Any other city Of
twice the size Of Phoenix would be
proud to point to this example Of
modern enterprise which is a model OF
architectural utility and beautiful de-
sign. Phoenix has ever been the cen
ter Of activity in Arizona, from the
opening up of the Santa Fe trail to the
modern development of transcontinen-
tai railroad travel
