The Crefield Reward.

The $3.50 Crefeld reward has
been placed in the hands OF Sher-
if Burnett, and the $2oo of this
amount that was contributed by
individuals will be returned to
the donors on request. The 500
offered by Benton reverts to the
county.
The cause of this is that 0. V.
Hurt, the father of the boy, Roy
Hurt, who discovered the Holy
Roller leader and caused his ar
rest, refuses positively to allow
his son to accept the reward. Mr..
Hurt today declared that to per-
nit any of the members of his
family to accept the reward
would seem as though a hope Of
gain was all that Influenced his
actions in the matter. His po'
sition is being received with com
mandatory comment by those
who have witnessed the strange
chapters.ot the Holy Roller craze
as they unfolded themselves ane
were brought to a finish in the cap
ture of the leader.-Telegram.

Cows on the Track.

On Sunday night while the
heavily-loaded excursion train
was climbing up to the summit
of the mountains from Yaquiua
bay the engineer, in passing
through tunnel No. 3, saw ahead
of him in the tunnel couple of
cows. The train at this point
always runs slow, and on that
occasion less than tour miles an
hour was the speed. The COWS
retreated before the advancing
engine, but in place of leaving
the track after getting out of the
tunnel, they kept on the track
and went down between the ties
on the trestle. The train was
promptly brought to a stand and
the COWS extricated. The train
was running so slow that it could
be brought to stop in ten feet,
and there was no danger from
the presence of the cows on the
track at any time.

Not Very Sericus.

What might have been a far
more serious accident occurred
Tuesday afternoon while Cecil
Price, of Kings Valley was re-
turning from Corvallis and was
descending the west side of Card
we'll hill just west of this city.
The buggy which contained Mr..
Price, his wife and little baby,
was forced upon the heels o: a
young and spirited team by the
breaking of the pole straps. Mr..
Price, when the horses became
frightened and began to run
pulled them violently into fence
corner and managed to throw out
his wife and baby upon the
ground and succeeded also in ex-
Treating himself. The fright
eued animals took precipitate
flight down the road and were
stopped at the barn of Mr.. Ma
son. No one was hurt but all
participants were badly shaken
up. The buggy was partially
demolished but the horses escaped
without much injury. Mr.. Price
secured rig of Mr.. Lilly and
took his family home to Kings
Valley and returned the follow
day with his father who took the
runaway horses and buggy home.

Heroine's Long-Delayed Reward

| Upon the publication of Mrs.
Eva Emery Dye S graphic nara
tive of the expedition of Lewis
and Clark to the Pacific Coast
the Inter Ocean editorially direct
ed attention to the services of
Sacajawea. the heroine Of the
famous exploration. and suggest
ed that she should be enrolled
among the nations notable
women 1t was further suggest
ed that the women of the country
should erect a statue of the In
dian women at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at St. Louis,
the starting point of the ex-
pedition of 1904.
1t now appears that the suggest
ion has been taken up in far
away Oregon. Portland is to
hold in 1905, Lewis and Clark
Centennial in celebration of the
centenary of the first crossing of
I! the continent. The women of
Oregon, Washington, Montana,
Idaho, and the Dakotas have
taken up the project Of erecting
a memorial to Sacajawea suitable
to the occasion. 1t is proposed
to erect a statue to cost about
$1,000. 1t has been thought
fitting that the sculptor should
be women and Westerner,
and Miss Alice Cooper, of Colo
RADIO, has been suggested.
Readers who are familiar with
that great American classic, the
Journal of Lewis and Clark, @,
who have enjoyed "The Con-
quest," will remember Sacajawea
and her services to the explorers.
Lewis and Clark found her in
their winter camp among the
Mandans. She was, a captive
Shoshone girl of 16, and the
|slave wife of a French half-breeo
interpreter. She would have
died in child. birth had it no
been for the aid of the explorers
! In the spring she and husband
and baby went West with the
party.
i When the explorers had aban
doned their canoes and were ap
preaching the Gates of the Noun
} tains they stood face to face will
failure, because of the lack o
horses. 1t was Sacajawea wht
paci6ed the Shoshones, obtained
, horses, and smoothed the way
through the Flatheads and th'
Nez Perces. Passing over he.
many services during the winte
spent at the mouth Of the Colum
bia, it was Sacajawea who guid
ed the party on the return trip
She seemed to have the instinc

Sacajawea understood the i'm

! The importance of the expedi
F.. ton of Lewis and Clark is brough

S 100 years ago is now thickl
lstudded with the fourishing cite

RURAL LIFE IS BEST
Statistics Gathered BY State Board of
Health Show Advantages OF
Living in Country.
Suburbanite Has Fewer Chances OF
Dying Than Has His Less For
tunate City Brother.

indianapolis, Jan. FL Statistics
gathered by the state board of health
show that in 1903 there was a decrease
in the number of deaths as compared
with 1902. Last year, according to the
figures of the bulletins, there were
32,271 deaths in Indiana, which is a
rate of 1875 out of every 1000 per-
sons. In 1902 there were $4,000, a rate
of 1863
That there is efficiency in the cura-
tive powers OF the open air, which the
health officers nave always advocated,
is shown by comparison OF the death
rate of cities and of the country. The
death rate of cities for the year was
1876, while that of the country VIZ 5
100. The people in the country, DR..
Hurry says, live longer because they
are breathing pure air, while at tie
same time they get the proper amount
of exercise. The city people, he says,
are victims of starvation, for the at
mosphere in which they live is over
loaded with impure gases, smoke, dirt
and dust. The high buildings, he says,
help to keep out the sunshine and SO
prevent the circulation of the air near
the ground, making it impossible for
nature to bring in the oxygen made in
the country.

Lieutenant Governor Newton w. Gil
bert of Fort Wayne has announced
himself a candidate for the Republican
nomination for congress in the Twelfth
district. This is probably the sequel
of his recent withdrawal from the race
for governor. There has been talk Of
him for some time as a prospective
candidate for congress, and although
there are others mentioned for the
nomination it is very likely that it viii
go to him. Gilbert would make a good
congressman, judging by his record
as a member of the state senate and
as its presiding officer. The Twelfth
is normally Democratic, but there is a
feeling among the Republicans that
they can beat Congressman Robinson.
as the latter is not SO popular as he
once was In his announcement Gil
bert said: "Tn view of the fact that
numerous persons from various parts
of this district are asking whether or
not l will be a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for congress, /
feel it my duty to say that after full
deliberation l have concluded to ask
my friends for their support"

There is considerable speculation
just now anent the date for the Re
publican state convention. 1t has not
been fixed, according to statements
of party leaders today, but there is a
prevalent opinion that it will be held
about the last week of April or tae
first week of May, as that is the GUS
tomary time. Some members of the
state committee want to wait till the
middle OF May, but it is probable thy
will be outnumbered. Chairman
Goodrich has been in the far West on
business for several days, but he is
due here Friday or Saturday. and it IS
understood he will leave for Washing
