The moment that the Oregonian
thought II could work Geer to pre-
side at a Furnish meeting It was ready
to fawn and latter him. He caught
onto its purpose and the way his pre-
siding at the Furnish rally would be
construed into an abandonment of
his convictions and an endorsement
of Furnish methods, and refused to be
caught. Now the Oregonian unmasks
It's real attitude toward Geer, and
asks that he be scratched from the
ticket whore his friends put him. II

DEADLY NIGHTSHADE
Removed Barriers for Tennessee
Couple.
From Altar to Prison-Mrs- Agnes F1em-
Ing and Jenkins Arrested-Lost
Husband and Wife.


Knoxville, Tenn. July 6.-Night-
shade tea is the deadly decoction which
it is alleged was used by Mrs. Agnes
Fleming to kill her husband, John
Fleming, so that she might be married
to Howard Jenkins. Jenkins, it is al
legged, also used the same mans to poi
son his beautiful young wife, in order
that he might meet the plans of Mrs.
Fleming.
The scene Of the affair is Roane
county, the story having come to this
city in a press dispatch,
Three weeks ago both John Fleming
and Mrs. Howard Jenkins died under
suspicious circumstances, but no ac-
tion was taken until yesterday, when
Mrs. Fleming, who is connected with
a family prominent throughout East
Tennessee, was married to Jenkins.
1t was known that letter from Jen-
kins to Mrs. Fleming had been inter
cepted just before John + leming died.
and their marriage caused a sensation
which eliminated in their arrest.
Jenkins came to Knoxville from
Pittsburg, Pa, few months ago, in
the capacity Of mechanical engineer
for the Knoxville Iron Company. Here
he met Mrs. Fleming, and he followed
her to Roane county.
The warrants for the arrest of the
pair were issued at the instance of the
relatives of the two dead persons.

AFRAID OF HIS PEOPLE.
Aguinaldo Timid About venturing Out.
Anxious to Quit Manila.

Anxious to Quit Manila.
Manila, July 6.-As a result of the
proclamation of amnesty July 4, the
guard of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the house where Agui-
naldo lived in Manila, and Lieut.. john
son, Aguinaldo's custodian, brought
the Filipino today to see Gen. Chat.
fee 1t was the first meeting between
the American general and the leader
of the Filipino revolution. Lieut.. Will
liam E. McKinlay of the Ninth cavalry
acted as interpreter
Aguinaldo was told that he was free
to go anywhere he pleased, and Gen,
Chaffee asked him if he had any COM
plant to make of American discour-
tesy or harshness. Aguinaldo replied
that he had no such complaint to
make. He told Gen. Chaffee that he
was going to visit friends at his home
in Cavite Viejo, in Cavite province,
and inquired what protection the
American authorities would afford
him. He seemed to be afraid to ven-
ture out. Gen. Chaffee replied that
Aguinaldo would get the same protec-
tion as any other citizen.
The former Filipino leader then ask
ed Gen. Chaffee to prevent the courts
from requiring him to testify in civil
suits. Gen. Chaffee replied that he
had no authority to grant this request,
and advised Aguinaldo to make a So
cial call upon Acting Civil Governor
Wright. This Aguinaldo said he
would do, but that he would go at
night, as he was timid about appear
ing on the streets in daylight.
The release of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
possible vengeance upon him by
friends of Luna and his other enemies.
Luna was a Filipino leader whom
Aguinaldo caused to be killed in 1899.

Vienna, July 6.-The Neue Freie
Presse has published satirical edi-
torial on the fact that ]. Pierpont Nor
gan took luncheon with Emperor VIII
liam on board the imperial yacht Ho-
henzollern at Kiel, July 8. The paper
remraks:
without his checkbook Mr.. Morgan
would never have been the emperor's
guest"
The article harps throughout on the
probabilities of misfortune overtaking
"the Napoleon of Finance" and says
that, gilded by the Imagination, his
trusts appear to, be magnificent, but
that the first moment public confidence
Is disturbed the system will undergo
severe trial
The Neue Freie Presse concludes by
saying: "Couid a thoughtful reader
have penetrated the secret recesses of
the minds of Emperor William and his
guest what startling contrasts might
he not have discovered. In Emperor
Williams mind, perhaps, a yearning
for fame and splendor; in that of Mr..

STATUS Of COTTON CROP.
Condition as Shown By the Month
~ Report of the Department
Of Agriculture.
FELL BACK FOURTEEN POINTS IN JUNE.
The Condition, However, is Sfiii
Dove the Ten-Year Average In
Most of the Cotton states-Texas
Has Fared the Worst Owing to
Drought, which Has Been Broken.

Washington, July 4.-The monthly
report of the statistician of the de-
partment of agriculture will show
the aserage condition of cotton on
June Is to have been SAT-, as COM
pared with 95.1 on May 26, 1902; S1.1
on June IS, 1901; 75.s on July l, 1900,
and ten-year average of $50. With
the exception of North Carolina,
where there seems to have been a
slight improvement, and Virginia,
where there is no appreciable change
in condition, every cotton producing
state shows a decline during the
month, the decline being greatest In
Texas, where it amounts to % points,
and in Louisiana, Indian territory,
Mississippi and Alabama, where it is
II, 10, 9 and s points respectively. The
condition is, however, still in excess
of the ten-year average in the follow
ing states, by the number of points
stated in each case: Virginia,3; North
Carolina, 6; South Carolina and Flor
ida, 9; Georgia and Arkansas, 7; Ten
nessee, 12; Oklahoma, @; Missouri,
10. On the other hand, the condition
falls below the ten-year average by
two points in Louisiona and Indian
territory, one point in Alabama and
IS points in Texas.
This report is made up to June 25,
and no changes subsequent to that
date have been taken into account.
The departments statistical agent
for Texas, however telegraphed
Wednesday that the recent rains in
that state have been of little or no
benefit to the crop, and that further
deterioration may be looked for un-
less there is more rain by July 10.
The condition in the principal
states is reported as follows: North
Carolina, 93; South Carolina, 95;
Georgia, 81; Florida, 90; Alabama, 81;
Mississippi, s5; Louisiana, s5; Texas,
70; Arkansas, "a; Tennessee, 9o; Ok

Tho Insurance Problem.

A convention, composed Of the
representative business men of the
State, numbering about $50, met at
Jackson to consider the cotton in
surance situation and to discuss the
advisability or necessity of an extra
session of the Legislature. After
mature deliberation, the convention
decided that the most feasible solu-
ton of the problem was to secure inn
mediate repeal of the valued policy
law insofar as it relates to cotton and
personality, and to petition the COVER
nor to call an extra session OF the
Legislature to repeal said law.
