ALONZO
SWARTZ
is FREE
Convicted of Numbering His
Son In Marion County
Several Years Ago

Alon2o Swartz, who was sentenced
to life imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for murder, in June, 1895, was
yesterday pardoned by Governor
Chamberlain on petition of the dis
trict attorney and many others.
Swartz has paralysis and cannot live
long and on that account and of old
age and good conduct, he was given
a full pardon and restored to citizen
ship on condition that he does not
Interfere with his wife or children.
But If he violates these conditions he
is to be arrested and once more inn
prisoned.
Alonzo Swartz killed his son in a
drunken quarrel. at least the son died
after he had been stabbed in the
head. There was some question at
the time whether the treatment of
the physician did not cause the death,
but at the trial he was convicted and
sentenced
The case attracted much attention
throughout Marion county. where the
trouble occurred and where Swartz
had lived for many years.
The petition was circulated here
several weeks ago and was quite gen.
orally signed.
This Is the first conditional pardon
ever granted in the state and the gov
ernor considered that It would be the
best thing to do with the old man.

ROAD
MEETING
Dallas Committee Met Yes
ierday Afternoon to Re-
port on It's Trip

The committee appointed to exam
inc the Dallas-Fall City road, and
tbe proposed line to this city from the
former place, met yesterday afternoon
ami reported on their recent trip.
The party, consisting of Messrs.
Barnes, Fry and Hamilton, went over
tbe proposed line, and also visited the
road now in operation. They found a
number of very successful sawmills in
the timber near rails City, and the
entire country seemed prosperous.
The merchants of Dallas are fa-
vorable to the building of the new
road. and realize that it will bring a
large amount of trade to their city
that now goes to other places.
Mr. Coovert, who proposes to build
the new road, and is the chief engln-
Ger of the Falls City line, has $50 900
Of his own money to invest in the en-
terprise. He asks the citizens of Sa-
lem to loan him $4,000, or $5140 a
mile, to build the road, giving them a
mortgage on the roadbed and rolling
stock for the amount.
The soliciting committee will at
once commence an active canvass of
the people of Salem for the amount,
and it is thought they will experience
no difficulty in securing the amount
asked for.

HoIlv Roller Hrouoht saek.

Miss Eta Brey, Holy Roller, who
has been confined at the asylum, es-
capped from the farm the other day,
and made her way to her old home at
Corvallis, on foot. c. l.. Latourette,
one of the attendants, followed her on
a bicycle Tuesday and caught her at
that place. 1t is supposed that she
grew homesick and started home to
find her parents, but on arriving at
Corvallis she found that her folks
were gone, and the attendant had no
trouble in bringing her back. She
will be closely watched in the future,
and is not likely to get away again.
Not much improvement is shown by
the other Holy Rollers confined.

NATURE SPARES
The stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature
II is, that deprives the rose OF mental
suffering; for how poignant would be it's
grief to discover. In the height OF its
blooming glory. that a canlker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she Is a veritable
store-house OF pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousan nds
OF young women. but thanks to the in
vestigations Of scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction is now known to be
germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug

LIFE INSURANCE FOR FARMERS
Or How John Samusls Paid q Three Thou
sand Dollar Mortgage

sand Dollar Mortgage
John Samuels lives in Brown coun-
ty, Kansas. He is a farmer thirty
five years of age. He came to Kansas
from the east in 81, bringing young
wife, two children, and some money.
The money he invested in 100 acres OF
land. He paid good price-six thou
sand dollars, two thousand down and
a mortgage back for four thousand.
But it was well-improved farm and
worth it.
There have been fat years and lean
years in Kansas, and in 1902 John
Samuels still owed three thousand
dollars on his place. He had reduced
the debt one thousand dollars, an av-
erage of one hundred dollars per year,
and kept the interest paid up. His
expenses increased with the growth
of his family. His wife's health was
not so good of late, and he paid an
occasional doctors bill. Some i'm
provements and extensions must be
made on the farm buildings. He would
be fortunate if he could make these
additional necessary expenditures,
keep his interest paid up and con-
tinue applying one hundred dollars
49, x,oor ~, Sfbo wont ooofa
He realizes at this rate he will be
very old man before the farm will be
free from debt. If he dies the home
will be sold; perhaps at time when
it may bring little, if any, more than
the mortgage. The savings of life
time will be lost and the wife and chill
dren will suffer.
One day stranger appeared and
asked permission to explain life in
surance. Mr.. Samuels listened intent
| ly, conceded it was just what he need
ed, that he would like a policy if he
could pay for it, but he owed three
| thousand dollars on his farm, and it
was all he could do to pay the inter-
est and a hundred dollars year on
the principal. AS the premium on a
policy at his age would be s102.60 he
did not see how he could carry 1t.
Suppose" said the agent "the per-
son who holds this mortgage on the
farm should say to you: III you con-
tinue to pay the interest as before.
