CONVICTED or MURDER.
J. B. Shane. of Lawrence, Kas., Is
 Found Guilty.

Lawrence, Kas., May 1E-After thir- tyfive minutes of deiiberation. the iu- ry in the case of Capt. J. B. Shane, charged with the murder of Edward C2therman on February p, returned a verdict O. murder in the first deerce The defense tried to prove that Shane was mentally unbalanced at the time of the killing, but failed. In his charge to the jury Judge Smart explained the insanity phase of the case with es- pccial care. No instructions were :;iv- en except for first and second degree murder. The verdict of the jury which means imprisonment for life, produced no apparent effect on the murderer His air of indifference and stoicism has never been broken sincse his arrest lie once said that he was very sorry if the fellow was killed, but there was noth- ing in his actions today to indicate a repentant mood.
 The murder was unprOVOked. Cath erman, young clerk, was passing by sShane's little photograph gallery on his way home to dinner. He saw the pro- pTietor standing in the door and spoke to him. Hardly had the salutation been given when Shane whipped out a revol- yer which he had evidently been hold ing behind him and fired point blank. The bullet pierced Catherman's brain, killing him instantly.

bination that makes Eugene the envy oi
many places, and its people justly proud
of an environment that will always
make it a superior community.
Arrived at Eugene the party was met
by a committee who wanted us to take
a carriage for the University but we pre-.
| ferred to walk and see the town as six
years had passed since we were there
to stay any time. Many good business
buildings but more fine residences have
gone up in that time. Some of the
! streets have been nicely graded but many
Of them are ill in the mud. There are
some beautiful lawns but like Salem
there are too many big trees
along the streets TO show off
the residences to advantage, too many
unkept yards, too many board and
picket fences and unpaiuted houses.
But houses are all occupied and in
greater demand than even in Salem,
Carpenters are much sought after at
Eugene and the town is on the geof a
building boom. The prettiest building
cites are on the elevated ground, up the
slopes Of the buttes where the first sun
shine strikes, here the irst roses bloom
and the first fruits ripen. Even
hundred feet above the level of the
business parts these handsome residen.
ces are out of the togs that sometimes
fill the valley. Many Of the larger
houses in the college quarter are filed
with students, "eyether" as some OF the
mortar.board young ladies cay, for
clubs or as consumers OF hash
and beefsteak pie. Some of these
houses have queer combinations

SKETCH OF
BEAUTIFUL
EUGENE
Editorial Visit TO the State
University.
The German Professor Who
Hadn't Written a Volume
of Poems.

The editor of THE JOURNAL spent day
in Eugene the past week and in the
short time left after lecturing at the
University, saw a little oi that bright
Oregon town and it's people, Before he
left the train he heard a travelling man
say Eugene is the best town in the
State and wondered why it was. A look
over its residence and business streets,
it magnificent colleges, schools and
churches, with increasing industries, and
fruit industries spreading in all direc-
tions into the foothills, convinced him
that there is truth in what the
commercial traveller said: when you
reflect that Eugene lie too far away from
Portland to have many OF the people go
there TO do their shopping, you find an
other secret Of it's large and prosperous
retail trade. The grocery and drygoods
houses carry large and expensive stocks.
There is a mining trade that requires
big stores of supplies. Thore lie a heavy
trade in wool, mohair, hops, chittim
bark, cattle and hogs. There
are Touring mills and warehouses,
wooden mills, tanneries and sawmlls
in all directions whose managers trans.
act their business here. Great farming
and numbering valleys like the Mohawk
and Mckenzie pour in their trade while
several mining districts are entirely tri-
butary to Eugene. Add to this a bright
and intelligent people, who have aspra.
tions TO culture and refinement quite be.
yond the expectations of even larger.
