keenly her position and frequently
gave way=to grief Mrs. Lyons is
a tall, rather angular woman, aged
about IS years. She was plainly
dressed and bears the appearance
of having toiled hard during her
life.-
"You are charged in this COM

speaking, "as accessory toa felony.

vious to Mr.. Wither's DEATH Since

AS officer Smith advanced to the
prisoner she began to weep and
plead. ''For Gods sake don't put

Washington, Feb. 7.-Senator
John Mitchell has. not made materi-
terial progress this week, in fact,
on Friday he had a serious set
back, but today is again on theroad
to recovery. On Monday last the
senator, left his, room and took. din.
ner in the hotel dining room. He
also attempted to, look after come
of his official business, and appar-
emily overtaxed his strength, for,
except for short periods, he has not
been out of bed during the remaind-
er of the week. His long conGne-
ment in bed has very greatly weak
ened his condition, and it is slowly
indeed that he recovers hisstrength.
For the past week or more he has
had practically ne more stomach or
bowel trouble and suffers none ex-
cept from confinement.
D The senator's physician has in
sisted all along that Senator Mitch
ell was steadily improving and to-
night told The Oregonian CORES
pondent that the senator would be
out some time during the coming
week. This is the came statement
he made week ago, and the week
preceding. For all that Senator
Mitchell. does not appear to begain-
ing strength as rapidly as was
hoped. It is his weakness that is
now his greatest ailment, and his
resistance upon work appears to re.
tard his progress.

Portland, Feb, o.-"The men
who are voting for me are unani-

with me to the end. I shall GER
tain1y be elected United States SEN
ator," said Charles w. Fulton this
morning to the Portland Journal.
"There is absolutely no warriug
among my friends, he added,
"and there is not the slightest dan.
ger that they will leave met Those
who are responsible for these ru-
mors of 'disintegration among my
supporters know they are false and
the stories are started merely in
the hope of exciting uneasiness in
the minds of my friends. I shall
snrely win my fight" = ~. -
1t, can be stated positively that
Binger Hermann does not propose
to enter the senatorial fight so long
as Flu ton continues so decidedly q
the lead. and this assurance has
materially strengthened the posi-
tion of the Catsop candidate. Her
mann's proba bic attitude has been
the taoic of much anxious specula-
ton, for it is we'll krown that he
has worm personal friends in each
factiou III the senatorial fight who
would probably rally to his stand
ard if he should enter the lists
With Hermann out of the run
ming. the danger of defections from
Fulton is materially 1essened. From
the outset his greatest menace has
been the possible appearance of
some dark horse, strong enough to
draw votes from the other candi-
dates. The situation is remarkable
in that with the exception of Jona-
than Bourne, there is no prominent
republican in the state whose advent
in the contest has seemed to be Sc
riously feared by Fulton and his |
friends. tits extremely doubtful
whether Bourne's name will ever
be presented to the legislature, for
he will not become an avowed can
didate unless reasonably sure of
success. /
