Stronger Evidence Against the

NEW YORK. April 26.-Dr. Henry c
T. Myers trial noon the charge of pois-
oning Ludwig Brandt is under way at
last. Since the hearing OF this case
was interrupted in January by a juror
dying insane the state has discovered
much new testimony. 1t is alleged
that among the witnesses to be called
will be Joseph Kroeger, /of this city,
who, according to report, met DR.. Myer
on the steamship Maasdam, which
sailed Sept. 10, 1892. DR.. Myer and his
wife were going to Germany to meet
the relatives and learn more of the his

had some confirmation in the behavior
of that person today. When she was
brought i'll the court room, there were
few there besides her husband. With
out glancing at him she walked 10 the
window overlooking City Hall park and
STOOD there looking out abstraetedly for
fully twenty minutes, and then took a
seat, without having looked in the di-
rectiOn of DR.. Myer. The statement for
the prosecution was made by Assistant
District Attorney Mcintyre. Mrs. Myer,
who sat inside the rail, was not in Mr..
Mcintyre line of vision as he stood
addressing the jury, so he changed his
position, and with infinite scorn pointed
at her as woman who dOnned widows

Mrs. Myers eyes were downcast and the
color came and went as tine Scathing
arrangement fell on her ears. There
was cranIng of neckS to see how she
acted under fire. and a nurmur ran
round the room. Mr.. Mcintyre said the
prosecution had woven arOud the de
fendaut web through which he could
not break. Mr.. Mcintyre stated that
the defendant had twice before been
tried for murder. When DR.. Myer, who
had been sitting quietly ut the cOunSePs
table, heard this he half rose in his seat
and snapped: "rhai's lie" Mr.. Nc
1ntyre stopped and wheeled about and
looked straight at DR.. Niger. The latter
returned the gaze as he was forced back
into his seat by Lawyer O'Sullivan.
Then Lawyer Brooke objected to McIn-
tyres assertion, but the recorder re-
fused to order it struck out. The first
witness called was the man known as
Carl Muller, who has also been called
August Winners.

Chicago and Of the doctors proposal to

The police were notified last night.of
the disappearance of Mrs. Mary Thomp-
son, widow who for the past four
weeks has presided over an establish
ment at 80 Eighth street south, Mrs.
Thompson kept roomers. and yesterday
morning when they rose and inquired
for the landlady she was nowhere TO be
found. Her sister, also Miss Thompson.
went to her room. 1t was empty, and
oil the dresser lay note. 1t was written
by Mrs. Thompson, and contained some
startling information. 1t said that the
writer had gone away to commit suicide.
She was unable to bear the hardshipS
she had endured for long time. The
struggle of life was not worth the max
ing. so she had decided to make away
with herself, and thus put all end to it
all.
All day long Miss Thompson and the
servant girls sat about the house. They
were frightened and did not dare to
leave the house, imagining they would
see the absent one hanging to some
afternoon several of the roomers came
home. and then when they learned OF
what had happened instituted search
of the house. The cellar. the garnet
and the closets we're searched. but no
Mrs. Thompson could be found. AT 9
O'CLOCK it came to them that perhaps 1t
would he well 10 notify the police, and
this was done. The police made a
search, and the patrolmen on the beats
were notified 10 keep a lookout for the
woman, but up to late hour no sign of
her had been discovered.

dence last night aud had all interview

creditors, aud that the grocerynan only
yesterday had stated that ii his bill was
not paid he would take away her furnl-
ture. 1t was also stated that Mrs.
Thompson was without cent Of money
and the night before her disappearance
had called at the ntighboring house
and asked to borrow five cents.
Mrs. Thompson has 10 children. She
formerly Kept boarding house at 131

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

City council met in regular session
Tuesday evening. All the members
were present.
Minutes of previous meetings were
read and corrected.
The committee on ordinances reported
that the proposed ordinance sent to the
council by the S. P. Railroad Company
was faulty and did not meet with their
approval. The matter in question is
the building Of crossings over the rail
road track on certain streets. The mat
ter was discussed by the council, and
some Of the members expressed them,
selves as being strongly opposed to the
propositions Of the company. The COM
pany want crossings made on only two
streets, and want the council to agree
to never make nor attempt to make any
more crossings across the track; be-
sides, the company wants the city to
build the crossings and keep them in
repair. The committee was instructed
to reply to the company, admitting
nothing and granting nothing, and to
draw up an ordinance to suit themselves.
A petition, signed by many citizens,
asking that the question of bonding the
city for the purpose of buying the light
and water systems be submitted to the
voters at the coming election, was pre-
sented to the council. Received and
referred to the committee on ways and
means.
Following bills were read and war;
rants were ordered drawn for the same /.

Jerome Gentry was born in Anderson
county, Tennessee, Oct. IL, 1865, and died
1T the home Of Of his parents neal
Lebanon, Oregon, Oc.. 2, 1894 He was the
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Gentry
who with their family emigrated to Oregon
in 1874
During the summer Of 1892 while with a
threshing crew he contracted severe cold
which settled on his lungs, and developed
into consumption, Of which he died. A
year ago his parents sent him on visit to
his old home in Tennessee hoping that q
change Of climate would benefit him, but
he gradually weaker and was brought home
by his father last August.
Rome was always d good boy and a
general fayorite with everybody. While away
on his last trip he witnessed the baptism Of
his cousins, which together with the SER
vice, made a deep impression on him and
brought him under conviction. His life
seemed changed from this OH, for he often
spoke Of the hope he had Of the life beyond.
He was a most patient sufIerer--gentle and
uncomplaining, doing everything he was
hidden without murmur.
He was very fond of music and one day
said, "lfthey have lots Of music in Heaven,
there's where want to 60"
As the end drew near he called the sor-
rowing family about him and calmly bid
them all good bye, getting promise from
each one that they would all meet him in
Heaven. Later he seemed to suffer good
deal and whispered, ASK the LORD to
take me tonight" then soon he passed
away TO be forever with the Lord. Blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord"

THROUGH EASTERN OREGON.

To THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS:
promised you an epitome of my
4 pcregrinations through Eastern Ore
gon a few weeks since, and this IL to
redeem my promise.
On the Goth Of August, Mr. Isaac
Saltmarsh and myself left Lebanon for
a trip east OF the Cascades, in search Of
what has for many years been known
as the "Blno Bucket or "Meeks Cut
or Nine" having in our possession
q chart, made by one Of the Discovers
ers OF the mine, by which ! felt conf.
dent ! could find the mine. l, then Il
little boy, was one Of the party known
as the "Lost Emigrant Party" of lS45,
under the leadership of "Steve Meek, y
brother of the Col. j. l.. Meek, and
who came near pcrlshing, and doubt
less would have perished but for the
snow-capped Mt. Hood, which was u
'beacon light" to point us to the
waters Of the Columbia river, which
we reached after an almost indescriba-
bic suffering, late in September of that
year.
That gold was discovered by our
party during the tine Of our meauder-
ings in what is now known as Eastern
Oregon, is well-known fact. But
that the richness of that discovery has
been greatly exaggerated is, think,
no doubt true. That we, Mr.. Salt.
marsh and myself, found the place for
which we started, | have no doubt,
but which, as feared might be the
case, had been located, and is now
being worked, under the title of the
"Claypool Discovery" which lays in a
northeasterly direction from Harney
City, in Harvey county, and about
fifty miles from that city.
W@rossed the Cascade mountains,
over what is known as the Santiam
Pass, and followed the main travelled
road, going through Prineville in
Crook county, following up Crooked
| river and Beaver creek, passing over
Rock mountain and SO, on to Harvey
valley, arriving at Burns on the day
of the double murder Of Til Glaze and
Bud Howard, and met the hearse
bearing them to their last resting
place.
Having satisfied ourselves that the
mine was taken, also that there were
no inducements to search further for
gold in that region, as the Claypool
Discovery extends over a quite ex-
tended territory, and not very rich
discovery at that, we turned our pom
les heads toward home, arriving here
on Sunday morning, Sept. %, in good
health, feeling greatly benefited in
that respect,

Light and Water.

A petition signed by a majority of
the business men and other citizens of
the place, was presented to the council
on Tuesday night asking that the
necessary steps be taken to enable the
people to vote on the question of bond
lug the city for the purchase of the
electric light plant. The petition vas
referred to the committee on ways and
means, who will give it proper con-
sideration. The petition was pretty
generally signed and seemed to indicate
a desire that the people be allowed to
vote on the question. A thorough
canvass is being made by our citizens
and the matter is being discussed.
There IS an evident desire to own the
plant, but the people are reluctant to
bond the city. AT present the resourcee
do not meet the demand of the city
and this deficiency will increase each
year. A tax will be necessary, and it
IL hardly probable that a S-mill tax,
the limit under our charter, will suf-
flee, 1t is claimed that the city can
save several hun bred dollars year by
purchasing this plant.

Strawberries in October.

While working in his strawberry
patch one day this week, trimming the

Mr.. Stephen A. Cochell found large
bunch of Strawberries in every stage Of
growth. There were, on one vine, q
large bunch of blossoms, Strawberries
just forming, Strawberries half grown,
and the big, red, ripe Strawberries. 1t
can truly be said this is the land OF
gardeners, when 1t is considered thai
Strawberries ripen early in June and
are still with us the latter part OF
October.
