his barn and contents, including
several head of cattle. She is be-
lieved to have set fire to number
of bvildings in Medford about three
years ago, Two and half years
ago she was sent to prison on a SEN
tence of nine years. Shortly after
ward one of her brothers was sent
there for two years for killing a
neighbor.
A trusty and two or three of the
prison officials had access to Mrs,
Carli1e's cell. She charges her
condition to Second Warden Di1ly,
former chief of police of Salem.
The woman is a devil, and few be-
lieve her story. In the main, White
the trusty who escaped ten days
ago is regarded as the guilty man.
The revelations constitute ter
rib1e indictment of the Lee admin.
dstration of the penitentiary, which,
is held in general contempt and de-
rision. Like the Tracy and Mer-
rill escape, they indicate absolute
lack of discipline at the prison, and
may betray criminality among off
GERS, though few believe the latter.
A waif conceived in a prison cell of
convict parentage is perhaps the
fou1est blot that ever befe1l any
state institution.

A TERRIBLE NIGHT
Ieptha Parrot and Family are Home
less as a Result of the Flood.

There is an inspiration Of fearful
awe under any circumstances in
sight of raging floods, but it is more
terrible in view of those who have
property or kindred in danger of
the mad waters. The latter was
the experience of Jeptha Parrot
during the December rise in the
Willamette river this winter. He
resided with his wife and children
near the lower end of the govern
ment jetty at the ii m e
and during the night the rushing
waters 1abored unremitting1y to
undermine his home and sweep the
family into eternity. At dawn on
the morrow there came a measure
of relief in the prospect that the ov
erfow had for time given up the
attack on Mr.. Parrots land and
home, The family, however,
moved out for the winter as
measure Of safety. Subsequent ev-
ents proved the wisdom of his pre-
caution.
During the last freshet the water
renewed it attack on Mr.. Parrots
property and on Tuesday night
undermined the residence to such
an extent that it topp1ed into the
food and was carried away. About
two acres of land surrounding the
house was washed away this win
ter, and that area is bed of gravel
It was the parcel of land now owned
by Mr.. Parrot that Philip Phi1e's
house was swept away in the
flood of '6I-2.5 That house was
subsequently rescued from its lodge
ment below and now forms a por-
ton of the Beach residence near the
ferry.
Mr. Parrots loss is severe in
view of his financial situation. Last |
fall he purchased from Sol. King
the land on which his house was
located. 1t comprised 36 acres,
and the price agreed upon was
5000. He paid an equivalent of
sIoo down and owes the balance.
Much sympathy is extended Mr. Par
'ot in his misfortune, but he is to
'e congratulated on the fact that
lis family escaped the terrors ofthe !
lood.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS.-Two interesting
are in full swing in neither
Of which is there any politics, although
the aldermen, city officials, members Of
the board Of education and school officials
are active participants. Both campaigns
are for reforms, one among the women
and the other among the men. Splitting
upon the public sidewalks and street cars
has become such nuisance that the wo-
mems clubs, led by Mrs. Robert c., Rein
ertsen, are circulating petitions
They are to be presented to the COM
mon council in a few days, and Health
Commissioner Schultz, who has failed sew
eral times to interest the aldermen in the
ordinance making it a misdemeanor to
spit on the sidewalk or in street cars, is
hopeful of success in the proposed reform,
many aldermen having promised to sup
port an ordinance carrying a small pen
atty for it's violation.
The other proposed reform relates to
the long skirt habit, and it is purposed to
at least put a stop to it so far as the
school teachers are concerned. This mat
ter is being agitated by William George
Bruce, H. o. R. Seifert, superintendent
of schools, and others.

One Of: the leading specialists on dis.i

complications of the kidneys were dag
snosed properly the death rate from kid
sney disease would be reduced to- a mini
num- He referred to the death Of Hon.
Thomas B. Reed, Vice President Hobart
and other prominent men, who were doc-t
tored for acute indigestion and other
forms of disease up to within few
days of their death from Bright,s disease.
I Thousands of cases like these are dis
covered when it is too late, while II the
patient would take the trouble to test his
kidneys he would discover the unhealthy
condition of his kidneys ) in the early
stages, when the germ could very easily
be driven out Of the system.
DR.. Loomis, the great specialist on
kidney diseases, says: ''There is not one
person in twenty-five at, 40 years of age
who has healthy kidneys" His opinion
is based on statistics of examinations
made, the results of which show there
were only ten cases out Of two hundred
and fifty examinations Of people Of 40
years of age or older whose kidneys were
not diseased.
In chronic Bright's disease one-third die
Of uraemic poison, one-third Of oedema OF
the lungs, and the balance, principally, OF
pneumonia, bronchitis and heart failure.
while the real disease (Brights), which
creates all the havoc, gets little or no no.

pneumonia, typhoid fever, appendicitis
and heart failure are physical and organic
troubles, justly and rightly to be dreaded,
but the annual mortality Of all put to-

In view Of these facts and of their great
Importance to the human family, we deem
it our duty to utter a timely note Of warn

trace of backache, rheumatism, gout ec-
