BOUND TO TREE
IN THE FOREST
Young Oregon Man Victim of Re-
Venge of Unsuccessful Rival.
FOUR DAYS OF SUFFERING
FINALLY FOUND BY FRIEND
AND RELEASED.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 9.-Out of
spite, it is thought, and evidently
in order TO put NJ. Kelley of Kelso,
Wash, out of the way so as to pre-
vent his marrying a young woman who
had refused the attentions Of a less
successful sutton, Kelley was seized,
gagged and buckled, bound by Wire
to a tree in dense wood and aban-
dOned to die for a period of four days
from Monday until Friday last. when
he was discovered and released. Sat
urday the young woman whose prefer
ment for Kelley nearly caused his
death. procured a marriage license aud
late the same day the couple were mar
ried
Kelley is almost a physical wreck, but
from the scraps OF story which he has
given in intervals of consciousness it
would appear that last Monday ne
started from the home of a friend to
so TO kelso Ell route to Kalama, Wash,
the county seat, to procure marriage
license. On the way he was seized,
bound and blindfOlded by two persons,
one of whom was disguised as a wom-
an. He was then strapped to the back
of a horse and taken TO the woods.
where he was bound TO the tree and
compelled TO suffer uncomfortable
cruelties
Thursday a note was found on the
door post of one of KeIley's friends,
stating the mans predicament and
Whereabouts and his friend at once
proceeded to the place and released
him.
The prepetrator of the crime is said
10 be man who has for several
months endeavOred to force his atten-
lions upon the young woman. Every
effort is being made to apprehend this
man, both by the sheriff of Lewis
county, in which the outrage was COM
mitted and by Kelley's friends. The
whole town is intensely excited. and
it is generally thought if the fellow is
taken he viii be lynched.
Kelley has lived in the community
for more than a year and is well
thought of.

Republicans May Attack Regu-

sCRUT NY OF SIGNATURES
SEVERAL OBJECTIONS RAISED
TO DOCUMENT.

Az attempt TO keep the American
u Party state ticket off the official bal

being considered by the Republican
state and county committees. Repub-
licans express 4 belief that the petit

many duplicates, that the signatures Of
many persons known to be not quail

and that SO many of the names are not z
generally known that majority Of the
Signatures are open 10 question.
State Chairman Spry and County
Chairman Eldredge had an informal
conference yesterday forenoon to con-
slider the matter. No definite conclu-
sion was reached. but il WAS decided
that thorough investigation would De ;
made and that the petition would be
attacked if proof of irregularity de-
velOped.

THE matter was brought TO my at
tention yesterday By some OF those who
had read the list more carefully than

eral way, but nothing definite was de-
cided upon, pending further irvestiga-
ton. Unless we can establish the ex-
istence of irregularities, We shall take
no action in the matter, but II we find

probably fight it."
The list of signatures was carefully
tabulated and ndexed at Republican
county headquarters yesterday, and il
IS stated on authority, every signature
Will be subjected 10 the closest scru-

Should sufficient irregularity be
proved to cause the rejection Of the Pc

provides that petition Of this nature

MAGIC MEAL CHEST.
How a Humble. Piece Of Pantry Fur.
niture Became Bewitched Under
Strange Circumstances.

1t was in the latter part of the sew
enteenth century that the meal chest
which has always been in the Spofford
family and now owned by Mrs. Grin
Spofford. of Georgetown, Mass, be-
came bewitched under the most pecu-
liar circumstances.
The meal chest is an ordinary one
and was kept in the attic of Mr.. Moody
Spohord's house at Rowley Hill, filed
with meal which was used in the fam
lily. Hannah Hazen, who was en-
ployed in the family, was of good, re-
spectacle family and lived in the town,
the only thing known against her being
the information obtained from the chill
dren that she had been trying to coax
fortune through experiments practiced
by the old-time superstitions.
The statement of the proceedings has
been extracted from written account
of DR.. Jeremiah Spofford. who was
asked to prepare it, and which was
corroborated by dozen witnesses, all
of whom were present. It was one
afternoon, while Hannah sat in one of
the chambers quietly spinning, that
she became annoyed by strange sounds,
which seemed to come from the side of
the house, and for which she was un-
able to account. They seemed to be
from the sides of the walls, and re-
sponded to each and every pound of
her fist on the laths.
She became so frightened that at
last Moody Spofford, who was passing
the house was called in, and he in turn
was amazed at the sounds. He care
fully examined the walls, striking them
with hammer to see whence came the
sounds, but finding no loose lath, was
perplexed all the more, as every blow
which he gave was followed with an
other of equal sound. The jar of the
spinning wheel was incapable to pro-
duce the noise, and, at last, unable to
fathom the mystery he gave it up and
left for his home.
He had, however, not been long
home before he was for the second
time called to the house, but again was
he baf1ed. Had this happened during
the time of the witchcraft excitement,
Hannah's chances of dying a natural
death would have been small, but as it
was the mystery only excited the curl

THE WlFE'S ALLOWANCE.
Necessity Of Asking for Every Penny
She Spends Is Huniliating to
American Women.

Next to love, the most important, often
the most importunate, question between
man and his wife is money. To the
young and romantic this may seem a
sordid condition. Love, in their view.
means bonbons and long stemmed
American beauties" Later on, when
they learn that it also means taxes and
coal bills, shoes, pew rent and groceries,
they will see why it is that the most
beautiful superstructure must have a
firm financial foundation.
Then will come, or at least ought to
come, the question of an allowance for
the wife-a very modern question in the
opinion of the many. and foolish one
in the view of the old-fashioned and con-
servative. 1t is true that it is raised
more often than it used to be- The rea-
son is that Women's views Of life, espe-
cially OF married life, have advanced.
Many were self-supporting before mar
riage, and many more might have been
so if they chose. To them the exchange
OF financial freedom for absolute de-
pendence is not attractive. They had
the control of money before marriage;
they reasonably desire the control of at
least a little after marriage.
10 men of sympathetic Imagination
this question may never present itself.
They supply unasked not merely the
Wlfe's known and expressed needs, but.
realizing their own fondness for a new
tie or the occasional entertainment of
a friend at luncheon. they appreciate a
wOman's need of funds for which she
need not account
The other type of man-the type which
pays the regular bills and takes no
thought of extraneous wants-should re-
member that married life is often COM
pared to partnership. 1t is not neces-
sary that both partners draw equal sums
from the profits of the business, but even
the junior partner expects to use his
small share as he pleases. If he is
worthy to be member of the firm he
will not take advantage of his position,
nor draw more than the business will
stand.
The Youths Companion truthfully
says that the necessity of asking for
every cent she spends is humiliating to
any woman of sensibility. She wants
her allowance, as Burns said of wealth:
Not for to hide it in hedge, or for a train
respondent,
But for the glorious privilege of being indie
pendent;
and if she has it she will use it, in most
cases, wisely, and both she and her
husband will be happier.
