Driven Out by Starvation.
from the Corvallis Times. J

An unhappy story attaches to the
removal to the county poor farm, OF
Mrs Fred Smith, nee Alice 0den. AS
related by relative the story tells of
wretchedness and poverty uncommon
in civilized communities. The late
home OF the unfortunate woman was
the summit of the Elliott mountain,
several miles northwest of Corvallis.
"a fir pole pen" said this relative,
"ten by twelve feet in dimensions with
leaky cover over it, was the sole
refuge of the mother, her three.year.
old child and thirteen-months infant
from the storm and inclement weather.
The husband has never endeavored to
provide for his family, the wife many
times being driven by hunger to the
distant neighbors for food for herself
aid children. Schmidt has also been
cruel in his treatment of the woman.
A one time he lashed her hands and
feet TO bedstead, and in that uncom-
Portable position left her to wear out
the long minutes of the day In the best
way she could. The most of the sup
plies for the wretched family, ever
since the forty acres Of fine land left
Mrs. Schmidt by her grandfather, was
frittered away, have been the dona-
tiOns Of relatives. Three weeks before
Mrs. Schmidt and her two children
we're taken to the poor farm Schmidt
left them alone in the mountain cabin,
ind went to Lincoln county. The
stock of provisions became exhausted,
aud, driven out by starvation the mo-
her with the two babes in her arms
made her way to Isaac Jaokson's,
where they were kindly cared for,
until brought to relatives near C0rval-
lis. Schmidt did not return from the
Lincoln county trip, until after his
wife had gone to the poor farm.
Schmidt has not carried out his
threat to take his wife out of the poor
house, and has gone back to his cabin
alone. He is big husky with strength
and health, and the fact that he
hardly attempts to support those de-
pending upon him, makes of Mr.
Schmidt very ornery scrub.

Mrs. Emma G. Hannah Insane.

On complaint Of the physician at the
state penitentiary in Salem, Mrs.
Emma G. Hannah, who was convicted
in Albany of killing Mrs. Lottie Hiatt
at Jordan, Linn county, on September
20, 1895, and who was, in November,
1895, sentenced to imprisonment in
the penitentiary for life, was Friday
afternoon examined before the lawful
board, and declared insane and was
removed to the insane asylum.
Mrs. Hannah has shown symptoms
Of insanity for some time. She insists
that she is pursued by somebody who
is trying to kill her. The strain upon
her during years Imprisonment

lapse. Should she recover she would

Rudyard Kipling doesn't like the peo'

is piece Of ingratitude. because the
people Of the United States like the
writings Of Rudyard Kipling. In re-
cent letter to Newfoundlander the
distinguished author says that there
Ia no question Of the loyalty to the
British empire Of all white men speak
ing the English tongue, with q high
birth rate and a low murder rate. living
quietly under laws which are neither

Mr.. Kipling makes his charges
against Americans through the process
Of negatiOn: but they are sufficiently
explicit even In that form to prevent
any chance of misunderstanding. What
have we ever done to Rudyard to pro.
woke such bitter animosity? We have
expressed great admiration for his Ut
erary genius. and have bought thou
sands upon thousands of copies Of his
hooks. What more can we do to secure
a cessation of his hostility? Shall al
