Portland, Ore. Jan. 25.-The Chicago

three years before they can extradiate
George Betz. alias John Bingham, who
Is wanted there for murder BetZ is
under sentence of three years in the
Oregon penitentiary for burglary. but
in order to allow the Chicago authori-
ties to take him on a charge of murder
Governor Lord issued pardon to Batz.
Judge Sears. of the state circuit court,
before whom the case was called on a
writ of habeas corpus. held that the
warrant of extradition from the gov
ernor OF Illinois was imperative, as it
was signed by Governor Lord before
he issued the pardon to Betz; he also
held that the pardon was imperative
until Betz accepts 1t. Betz has not yet
expressed any intention of accepting it.
and it is probable he will serve his term
out in the Oregon penitentiary

Beouesthed Her Skeleton.

Before her death. which occurred in New

the widow Of a former lieutenant govern

the Woman's Medical college. According
to the provisions OF this queer will, the
body Of Mrs. Benchley was to be carefully

new position assumed by the Central

influence, and the effect is to cause
those who hold this belief to stand aloof

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE FOREST RESERVES.

President Cleveland's forest reserve
proclamation continues to be the sub
iect of objection and protest from
Montana, Utah, Wyoming and Washing
ton. It is rather singular that the set
ting apart of these reservations by Mr..
Cleveland should excite so much hos
tility when President Harrison set
apart very nearly as great an area all
most without attracting attention. The
reservations in both instances were Sc
lected under the auspices OF the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences by the
most competent men that this country
possesses for this special work.
The forest reserves are taken from
the public lands. They belong to the
people of the East as we'll as the West,
and il is for the interest of the whole
country that they shall be so managed
as to afford perpetual protection to the
head waters of the great rivers that
have their sources in these mountain
reservations. The clamor of the men
who want to. denude these reserved hill
sides of their timber should not be
needed. The sundry civil bill, which
failed at the last session of Congress
but which will be repassed at the pres
modify any executive order establish
ing any forest reserve and change it al
his discretion. He already has thai
power. The assistant attorney genera
for the Department of the Interior has
given an opinion to that effect.
Much of the clamor raised against
reserving a portion of the wooded pub
lie domain is based on wrong idea o
what the object and meaning of for
est reservation is. The object is tC
prevent the destruction OF the forest.
and not to prohibit their legitimat,
use under restriction. These forests
will be yielding timber hereafter wheI
the hills round about are denuded anC
timber has become scarce and dear
The residents of the states now made
vocal with complaints against the res
ervatlon will then be thankful that
wise forethought placed a few million
acres of forest-clad mountain side un
der special guardianship in a perio,
of reckless and wasteful destruction o

benefit goes to Kent and Sussex. Not

those counties has stood in the way of
our advancement in many essential
particulars. Our internal affairs have
been largely dictated by men who
never lived in the county, and who had
no especial interest in its welfare. The

TAKE SPECIAL CARE DURING Ma
TURE'S HOUSE-CLEANING TINE.
Avoid draughts and sudden changes
of temperature.
DO not discard your warm Winter
clothing too SOON 1t is better to suffer
little Inconvenience than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially LA
bic to contract a bad cold or chill at
this season of the year.
A cough or cold contracted between
the seasons is the most annoying kind,
and may last through the Summer.
To make the home happy, keep the
health secure Poverty may come, but it
can be endured if the health remains.
No health was ever maintained with
out assistance. Health, like the body,
must he supported. But do net make a
mistake and do it foolishly.
II yeu feel a cough or a cold coming
on. take a drink of pure whiskey at
once. It will keep the blood in circu-
lation, and is the best preventive
against the diseases of the season.
Remember that only pure whiskey
should be taken. Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey has the strongest recommen-
dations from the leading scientists and
medical men. 1t is the only standard
medicinal whiskey. Take no other

FROM THE ENEMY.s COUNTRY.

The Sussex county newspapers, par
ticularly the Sussex Journal, ofGeorge-
town, are greatly exercised because
the Constitutional Convention has. in
its wisdom, seen fit to accord to New
Castle county increased representation
in the General Assembly We are of
the opinion that il any objection is to
be made to the new apportionment It
should come from New Castle and not
from Kent or Sussex county. The one
thing wrong about that apportionment
is that it does not provide by several
members in each house what this
county isreally to, if population
is made the basis of representation
With this taken into consideration, nC
cne can deny that our county is en-,
titled to greater representation than
that accorded by the convention.
New Castle county has no desire t,
do any hurt to Kent and Sussex coun
ties. There is no reason why ou
county should be held up to the peo
pie IN the lower sections of the stat
as a political bugaboo. They hav
never suffered at the hands of NeV
Castle county in the matter of legisla
ton. and there is no disposition nov
on the part of this county to take an
unfair advantage of the two lowe
counties. On the contrary. our count
has suffered untold wrongs at tn
hands Of Kent and Sussex.
Our contributions to the state fund.
both for school and general purposes
largely exceed those Of both of tn
lower counties, but the bulk of tn
