a Girls Self Prepared Plight Led to tho
suspicion of II Terrible Crime.
That was dreadful crime reported
from Toledo 10 days or so ago about an
outrage perpetrated upon girl by two
tramps. The valley papers have been
printing various comments and specu-
lations about it, and now the Elk City
correspondent of the Corvallis Times
offers rs authentic a version of the affair
which is no less wonderful than the first
story, and if true, as it seems to be, es-
tablishcs one of the most remarkable in
stances of somnambulism or sleep walk
inc ever recorded. The account is as
follows:
Miss Cora Mays, the l6-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Sam Dogan, resides
Wit her family on the south side of the
Yauuina river, six miles east Of Toledo.
Between l and 2 o'clock Friday night
during her sleep, and clad only III u
nightrobe, she arose from her bed and
walked out on the back porch. There She
secured an old oilcloth coat. and after
wrapping it around her picked up Il
piece of rope and started for the river,
100 wards distant. At the boat landing
she entered n boat, rowed herself up the
river about 400 yards and landed on the
opposite bank. After setting the boat
adrift, she climbed a steep bank on the
railroad track, where. with the rope, she
tied her lower limbs together, passed the
rope around her body twice over her
shoulder and then tied her hands behind
her body. Then she hobblcL up the rail
road track for a distance of about three
quarters of mile and suddenly fell.
She was awakened by the fall, and al,
though nearly paralyzed by cold and
fright started to retrace her steps
Her cries OF distress soon alarmed the
occupants of Il house near by, who CANE

at once, ana then her family learned fol
the first time that she had been absent
from the house and OF course accepted
her condition as the evidence that she
had been the victim of an abduction
This was the news that first reached til,
community, and er,aged men secured
the vicinity for the supposed guilty par

DISARMAMENT OF EUROPE.
There Is sow "a Strong ncactionnry Sen.

There Is Now "a strong Rcactionnry Scnti-
mcnt Against the War Spirit.
1t has long been the universal convic-
ton of Europe that disarmament is only
possible as the result of an exha,lsting
general war. and that it is impossible to
postpone that war after the limit Of pre-
paratory resources has been reached
There is a widespread feeling that GER
tain nations are already beginning TO
pay the penalties of overtraining While
others have attained their maximum
fighting power. Thsis the real explana-
ton OF the prevalent war scare. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that the pos
sibility of II peaceful attainment of the
desired object is earnestly considered
Newspapers reflect this spirit from
various continental capitals. The Times
quotes an unnamed foreign statesman
as authority for a proposed project for
partial relief from the present situation
He says:
at is sought TO remedy the present
state of things not by disarmament, but
in way offering the advantages of dis
armament and without affecting the

Universal military service now eX-
lists in military countries and cannot be

active service is three years. Now it
has been proved that a single year is am

them how TO handle arms. The othel

and marches, or. i'll other words, TO what

Judges hold that the training which
makes old soldiers Is acquired only by
five or seven years service, and that i'll

not such superiority over one year as to
justify triple the expense.
"The only means which | can see OF
putting an end to the sehseless outlay Is
to make Il L. months service obligatory

Mother and Twins Cremated.

Recently Il Mohave squaw III California
gave birth to twins. For woman to
bear twins is, III the eyes of the Mohavcs,

mother and children. The portion of

member was summoned, and it was de
cided to enforce the custom. The pa

doomed to IA more horrible fate.
Everything belonging to her was col

out murmur. and her soul passed to

The Financial Load the People Garry Is
Fearful to Contemplate.
George Rutledgc Gibson, writing from
Naples, gives some interesting informa-
ton regarding the financial condition of
Italy. 1.-The fate of Italy hangs in the
balance" he says. people here realize
that the situation is desperate, and they
pin their hopes, if not their faith, to
Crispi. the new premier. But too much
is expected of him. and a war or a revo-
luton may result from the discomfort
which exists, but which is for the mo-
ment subordinated to the vain hope that
Crispi can perform some financial leger
lelnain that will change the balance
Sheet
1.-The taxes are something fearful to
contemplate. In writing you IS months
ago from Venice l related some amazing
examples of taxation there. l may add
now that the farmers pay to the state an
annual tax equal to As per cent of their
estimated incomes. The standing army
here represents 3 per cent of the entire
population, while in Germany it is only
per cent. Germany has 50,O00,0O0 Of
population and Italy 80, 100000. The war
footing, the number of men who may be
called out in Italy, is 900 more than
in Germany. It looks to me as if this
army would either have to fight or dis
band pretty soon. st Louis Globe

On the farm of S. r. I. Jones, about

heavy iron pan was inverted over some
of the strongest vents, the rim being
