WIllIams Refuses 10 Talk


The Dalles Chronicle, speaking Of ID
Norman Williams, the man sentenced
TO be hanged on the 22d Of this month
says he seems to be perfectly lndiiferenl
to his fate, and since stay of proceed
ings has been decreed by the supreme
court, there is no apparent change IN
his actions. He refuses to be inter
viewed regarding the crime for which
he has been found guilty, and II ne in
dulges in any conversation 1t is about
ordinary affairs, and carefully avoids
any reference TO the murder OF the
Nesbit women now. He has received q
letter from the brother Of Alma Nesbit,
begging him in the most pathetic man.
ner TO disclose what became OF the bodies
of the victims OF his diabolieal crime, but
this does not affect him in the least. II
he is hanged, and it is very likely he
will be, the details OF the crime will go
down with him TO the grave.
He has been visited by persons OF re.
ligious inclinations, who have prayed
with him but recently he expressed a
desire not 10 receive visits from preach
ers Of any religious denomination. Aft
er taking his exercise in the corridor he
returns to bis cell where he spends his
time reading religious books and one in
particular he has read through four
times. After perusing the contents he
told the jailer that anybody who would
read that book and not be thoroughly
convinced OF the truth Of Christianity
was beyond hope. Frequently he has
been heard reading the bible, and some-
times apparently praying. He has ex-
pressed the desire that bis fate be def,
nitely settled as quickly as possible, and
il he 10 TO be hanged he didn't care how
soon 1t might happen, as he was becom'
tired OF the suspense.
To look at the man as he PAGES through
the corridor, joining in conversation
with the inmates Of the Jail, with head
erect ard no tremor on his countenance,
one can hardly realize that he has but
little while to live, or that he is to ex-
plate the most horrible crime--the muir
der of bis wife and mother-in-law un-
der the most revolving circumstances
known in Wasco county. Such person
might be brave man in battle; but
with such an utter lack Of feeling or SEN
timent in civil life, he is nothing but q
brute or fend.
The sheriff would have commenced
the erection of the gallows this week II 9
stay Of proceedings had not been grant
ed; but now he will wait TO hear the de
cision OF the higher court. II is hardly
probable that decision can be made
BY the 22d of this month, and the exc
cntion OF the sentence may be postponed
several weeks. From appearances now
there will be no confession on his parl
OF the crime OF which he has been found
guilty, or of the murders committed
near Muscatine, Iowa, with which he il
charged. And only at the last day, ,whei
the great books are opened, and he
with all others, will stand before til,
great judgment seal, will all the facts b
known how Mrs. Nesbt and her daugh
ter Alma, and the THmans in Iowa, me

Grigsby Resigns As NOme's
 District Attorney

Washington, May 2-Senator Me Cumber, of North Dakota, today pre- sented to the president the resignation of Melvin Grigsby, United States At torney for the Nome district in Alaska.
 The resignation has been accepted, to take effect July l. No intimation IS given as to Grigsby's successor.
 More than year ago Attorney-Gen- eral Knox recommended to the presi- dent that Grigsby be deposed for dis obedience of the orders of the depart ment in leaving his post without per mission. Subsequently charges were preferred against him, in which it was alleged that he received slO,OOO from the Pioneer Mining Company of Nome the allegation stating that the sum was to secure for the Pioneer Mining Com pany immunity from United States prosecution.
 Grigsby admitted the receipt of the money, half of which was in cash and the other half in stock in the Pioneer Mining Company, but said it was an at Jorn9y's fee.

Skagway always rings true. At the large and representative democratic gathering Saturday night there was an unanimous acclaim in support of the motion made by Mir. Ruud that the democratic delegates to the Juneau convention support selt-gOvernment for Alaska. Skagway never misses an opportunity to give expression to the American spirit that dominates it's patriotic people. For more than four years, every publi, meeting held in this city for the purpose of considering those things that concern the whole district, has placed itself on record for territorial government, it matters not whether the meeting was democratic. republican or uOnpartisan, or whether it was a meeting of the chamber of commerce, the city council or a gather ing of the citizens eu masse. Skagway is sound to the core and always right.

STRANGER TO AMERICAN
 IDEALS

An Alaskan tory never opens his mouth without putting his foot in it. The Record-Nliuer attributes the fail ure of President Roosevelt to keep his promises Of great things in the way of congressional action, made to the Alas kaus al SeaJ.le ast summer, tO the fact that the people of Alaska asked for more than he promised them. In other words, the people asked for territorial government and the president decided no, to let them have anything. Because the meu and women of Altska have de- sired Co exercise a right Americans have possessed as a birthright since the adoption of the Declaration of Inde- pendence they are to be punished by the great paJer and sent to bed as naughty children.
 Yet this same tory organ would have the people of Alaska continue to de- pend upon the caprices of the execu- tive and the federal congress for legis- lation required by the business, mining and other interests of the district. What a stranger to American ideals IS the average tory.

A Mosquito Exterminator.

A new fish has been discovered
which Jersey scientists say will
kill those mosquitoes that survive
the oil treatment. This fish has
not yet been named, but if it does
what scientists claim it will do, it's
fame is assured. The fish is not
much larger than full grown Jer-
sey mosquito. 1t rarely grows
larger than mans index finger.
1t lives on the surface, and in
theory prefers mosquito eggs to
any other food. The fish are being
raised in large numbers and all of
the mosquito breeding waters of
New Jersey are to be stocked
with them.

An Interesting Relic. y Eg

Mrs. Taylor W Mckinney, OF
Elkton, is the possessor of flag
that has an interesting history, it
being the first flag hoisted % the
United States Steamship Wabash,
at Fort Walker, Hilton Head, s..
c., on November Z, 1861. The
holes torn in it by bullets have
been patched, but the smoke and
powder marks still begrime its
folds. After the war it fell into
the possession of Lieutenant
Thomas G. Corbin, of the United
States Navy, now deceased, and
from whom it passed to the family
of Mrs. Mckinney.
A fact that makes the relic more
interesting is that it was first
thrown to the breeze by Admiral
ieorge Dewey, who then held the
position of Flag Master on the
Wabash. News.

Blossoms From GethSemdne-A 30
tanlCal Display at the
Worlds Fair.


Flowers from the Holy Land
will be one of the interesting fea-
lures that may be seen in the
biblical botanical department at
the Worlds Fair. The display
will be novel, differing from the
American florists exhibits, in thai
all specimens are pressed and
dried.
A curious thing about the fora
of Palestine, says s. p. Forest, who
will have charge of the display, is
that while the wild flowers grow in
the greatest profusion, domestic
flowers cannot be cultivated there.
The flowers now are therefore Just
the same as they were 1900 years
ago and are the same as those our
Saviour saw.
The blooming season in Palestine
lasts only from January to May,
and in that trying climate the deli
cate blossoms wither and shrivel SO
quickly that the greatest expedi-
ton is necessary to press and dry
them.

How Japs Play Ken.

In its most widely practiced form
the basis of the Japanese game of ken
is that the fully outstretched hand sig
mites paper; the fully closed hand, q
stone; and two fingers alone extended,
the rest being closed, scissors. Each
of the players. counting one. two.
three. throws out his hand at the mo-
ment of pronouncing three, and the
one whose manual symbol is superior
to that of the others, according to the
theory Of the game. wins the trial.
Superiority is determined on the
hypothesis that whereas scissors can
not cut stone, they can cut paper,
and whereas paper is cut by scissors.
1t can wrap up stone. Consequently
scissors is inferior to stone, but con-
quers paper; stone is inferior to paper.
but conquers scissors: and paper is
inferior to scissors, but conquers
stone. There are innumerable varie-
