the panic is that so many men, women

sickness staring them In the face. The
return of confidence and the reestab

tedious process. and the damage of the

repair. In the meantime there Will
inevitably be widespread destitution

NATURE DEMANDS A TONIC.

We ought never to forget, even those
Of us who possess vigorous health, that
we are wearing out-that the vital
clock work, so to speak, must event
ually run down. This, Of course, we
cannot prevent, because 1t Is in the
ordinary course Of nature, but we may
retard the too speedy arrival of decay
by the use of an invigorant which takes
rank of every other-namely, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. This century
has not witnessed parallel in success
to this famous medicine, which not only
sustains health by promoting vigor,
but overcomes constipation, dyspepsia
chills and fever, nervousness, rheuma
tism, and other disordered conditions
Of the system fostered by weakness
and an impoverished condition of the
blood. The feeble, persons convalescing
after exhausting disease, and the aged,
derive infinite benefit from the use of
this helpful and efficient tonic.

MURDER Confessed.

JCnHsS Hansen mas confessed 10 tne
killing 5fssesSswife at Bear Creek last
wednesday AFTERNOON. The next thing
to be considered is: VIII he be duly
and legally convicted thereof, and pun
ished, according to the statutes, in
such cases made and provided"? In
the present uncertainty which Sur
rounds the execution Of the law 1t is
an open question. No matter how con
else may be the murderer's statement,
no matter how close detail may 1T into
fact, 1t is by no means certain that he
will receive his just due.
This killing as fine art has been
far surpassed by the science of petit
Jogging; and 1t is not safe to say that
n jury of twelve men who witnessed,
themselves. deliberate, coldbloc1ed
murder, would not bring in verdict
of acquittal. or. at least disagree, un
der the cloud of legal points, prece
dents, statutory cnactments strained
Interpretations, shrewd theories, and
endless objections introduced into the
trial or interposed by "eminent coun
sell" learned in the law
Hansen will probably plead mot gull
ty," to a grand jury Indictment. found
in roundabout way, and without ;ef
erence to his Acknowledgement A
clever lawyer will browbeat witnesses,
befog the twelve good men and true,
and constrain "the court to make
rulings In favor of his unfortunate
and prosecuted client" 1t has been
done before, and may be done again,
even In Clatsop county. The result
may be q disagreement; a verdict of
selfdefence or justlfable homicide
Lord Colerldge, High Chancellor of
England once said: "God knows every
thing, except what will be the verdict
OF petit jury" And the improve
ments introduced by incapable legis
latlon, ana legal acumen have been so
many since he spoke those words, that
the uncertainties are more numerous
than ever.
An exceptionally brilliant lawyer
might advise his client to confess a
crime. with all the minutae OF time,
place and circumstance, in order to
establish good foundation for a bril-
liant defense. He might cite the
ancient confessions of witches, who
owned to the practice of satanic
craft and were duly burned despite the
fact that witchcraft is u superstition
and a bowling farce, 1t is known, too,
that scores of men and women have
gone to the gallows and been executed
for confessed crimes in which they
could, by no means, have participated
But It seems that Hansen's crime was
voluntary, and that his nature is
such that It is not prob
able he viii retract. even
with the hope of committing hanging
into imprisonment for life. II he

be enacted In Astoria
