General Passenger Agent william
McMurray and Secretary Chapman
Say This City Has Nothing to Fear
More Than Two-thirds of Big

Once again has Portland allayed
the fears of Pendleton that wild

metropolis and thus take away some
OF the glory of the Roundup. Sec

ceived two kilograms, one from Will
liam McMurray, general passenger
agent for the O.-W. r. & n. and in

mercial club. in which the blessed
assurance was given that the man.
agement of the Rose Festival has no
intention of adding a frontier show
TO the list of their attractions
Following is Mr. McMurry's message
which was the first received:
J. H. Gwinn, Sec. Roundup,
Pendleton, Ore.
Hutchin, manager of Rose Festi-
val says he only figured with Irwin
for some cowboys to take part in his
torical parade and that idea of hold
ing a Roundup is farthest from his
mind. l suggest you pay no atten-
tion to the matter.
VIM. MMURRAY.
Mr.. Chapman's telegram is still
more brief but is to the point. 1t
follows:
]. H. Gwinn,
Pendleton, Ore.
| am informed that Rose Festival
management rejected the Irwin pro-
position on the sole ground that it
would be a competition with the/Pen-
Hoyt. c. c. CHAPMAN.
In the opinion of the directors of
the local association, Irwin. who is
the man who controls the Cheyenne
show, was in Portland to attend the
woolgrowers' convention as he is al
so great stockman, and while there
made the Rose Festival a proposition
which could not be considered.
The Roundup Fund.
Meanwhile the campaign for the
$l2, 900 found for the building of a
stadium goes merrily on and the $4,000
mark had been reached by noon. The
committees are very much encourag-
ed, for as yet they have not nearly
covered the field. Several commit
tees are still at work this afternoon
and it is thought that by night an
other thousand will have been added

STRENUOUS MUSIC.
A Story They Tell of Strauss Ability

A Story They Tell of Strauss Ability
as Conductor.
1.-THE late Thomas Wentworth Hig-
ginson," said a Harvard instructor,
"loved music, but not the extremely
technical music of Richard Strauss,
Ravel and others Of that type.
Concerning Strauss and his bang
ing, crashing music, Colonel Higgin-
son used to tell story.
HE said that Strauss went one sum-
mer on a hunting trip in the noun
tains. 1t chanced that on certain
afternoon a terrific thunderstorm de-
seended on the hunting party. Amid
earsplitting thunder and binding light
ming. amid deluges of rain whipped by
a roaring wind, the huntsmen all
sought shelter.
Where. though, was Strauss?
"Three friends set out in alarm to
look for him. They feared that in the
wild chaos of the storm he had fallen
down precipice. After long while
they found him. They found him do
ing-what do you suppose?
STRAUSS stood hareheaded on the
summit Of lofty crag. The light
ming played about him in vivid violet
flashes; the rain deluged him; the
thunder rolled and rumbled around
him; the roaring wind tapped his coat
tails about his head. and the musician,
a ramrod in his hand, was busily en-
gagged on his high crag in conducting

What is laughter? An American hu-
morist has called 1t IAN undignified
widening of the human mouth, accom-
panied by a noise resembling a cough
In the effort to avoid swallowing a
chestnut"
Laughter" says Professor Sir
Charles Bell. 'is a convulsive action Of
the diaphragm. In this state the per
son draws a full breath and throws it
out In interrupted short and audible
cachinnations. This CONFUSION of the
diaphragm Is the principal part of the
physical manifestation of laughter
"But there are several accessories,
especially the sharp vocal utterance
arising from the violent tension of the
larynx and the expression Of the fea-
lures, this being a more intense form
Of the smile. In extreme cases the
eyes are moistened by the effusion
from the lachrymal glands"
There are some people who cannot
laugh. who are wholly unable to enjoy
either the physical or the mental lux
ury of laugh. Thus 1t was said of
William Ill. that he was utterly at
loss to understand what could be got
out of laughter except loss of dignity.
There are many persons in history
who have been. according to common
report. incapable of laughter. Queen
Mary l.. John Knox. Robespierre and
Maltke are examples. The Iron Duke

The lump raised by a blow on the
head is due to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands OF connec-
tive tissue. The result Of blow when
the scalp is not cut is the bruising and
laceration of many Of the small blood
vessels or capillaries. Blood or Its
fluid constituent, serum, is poured into
the meshes of the surrounding con-
necuve tissue, which is delicate,
spongy. distensible and cellular. and
the well known bump or lump is quick
ly formed. This cannot push inward
at all and naturally takes the line Of
least resistance Similar bumps may
be formed on the skin in exactly the
same way. for the shin bone also is
covered only by skin and subcutaneous

Some. curious letters passed between
Garrick and man named Stone. The
latter was employed to get recruits for
the low parts Of the drama, and one
night he wrote to Garrick, "Sir, the
bishop of Winchester is getting drunk
at the Bear and swears he will not
play tonight"
At first sight this seems peculiar con-
duct for bishop. but it should be ex-
planned that the communication only
refers to the man engaged to take that
character in the play of Henry VIII"
On another occasion Garrick wrote
to Stone: "If you can get me two good
murderers I will pay you handsomely,
particularly the spouting fellow who
keeps the apple stall on Tower hill.
The cut in his face is just the thing.
Pick me up an alderman or two for
Richard If you can, and have no OBJ

RAILWAY DETECTIVES.
They Trace Those Who Steal or De.
stroy Property Of the Road.


The secret service is a hard game
to tackle, but, like all kinds Of work,
1t has its easy jobs. One Of them is
that of special agent for a railroad.
The agent is supposed to trace those
who steal or destroy railroad property.
When he is notified that a trunk or
other article of baggage Is missing he
finds out by its number from where 1t
was sent and follows 1t on the books
to the last station where II has been
checked. Then he notifies the police
in the vicinity between the station
where the baggage was last checked
and the station where It should have
been checked. The police get busy,
and probably the property is soon re-
covered and the thieves put In jail.
The baggage is then turned over to
the special agent, who notifies the rail-
road official that he has recovered the
stolen goods.
II freight car is robbed the spe-
cial agent pursues the same tactics.
He finds out where the car was last
sealed and the place where the car was
reported as having its seal broken
The police or constables In the coun-
try between the two points are mott
fed. and II they fail to capture the
robbers the railroad may never hear
again of the stolen goods. Wherever
destruction has occurred to railroad
property 1t is usually police onlcers
who trace and arrest those guilty.
However. the special agent must
be keen Judge Of human nature and
with sufficient tact to make himself
popular with the police officers in his
territory. Usually he is an old time
detective and is well enough acquaint-
ed with detectives and police through
out the country to obtain results where
an amateur would fail.
