ILLINOIS DAY AT
PORTLAND FAIR

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. Ito
day is Illinois Day and the state
in whose honor the day had been
named was well represented on the
fair grounds. Governor Charles S.
Deneen of Illinois, accompanied by a
large party of prominent citizens of
his state, arrived here early this
morning in a special train from Chi
cago. They were received at the sta
ton by President 'Goode and other
officials of the exposition and escort
ed to their hotel. After a short rest
Governor Deneen was escorted to the
fair grounds.
He was taken directly to the ILL
nois state building, which had been
carefully prepared for the occasion
A large collection of souvenirs of
Abraham Lincoln and other great
men from Illinois had been installed
in the building during the past week
and everything was in readiness for
the honored guest.
An informal reception was held by
the governor and afterwards he ad-
dressed the gathering in front of the
building from the steps of the porti-
co. Mrs. Deneen, who accompanied
the governor on this trip, was the
guest Of honor at another reception
arranged in her honor by the ladies
of the fair.

Death BETTER Than
LOVE IN SOLITUDE

ciled to the thought of a permanent
home in them, and so she died. After
finishing her breakfast, at about
o'clock, she swallowed the fatal poi
son and died on the veranda of her
home in the presence of her grief
stricken relatives, the while her
mountain lover was busy about the
little retreat which he thought was
soon to be graced by her presence.
Without saying word to her rela-
tives she left the table and went to
one of the ranch buildings, where
she had secreted the poison. Torn
with conflicting emotions, but deter
mined to end her sorrows, she swal-
lowed the big dose of strychnine
Then, terrorized with the physical
agony and probably realizing that
death was near, she rushed to the
house to beg forgiveness. But before
she could utter a word to those who
gathered about her she was uncon-
scious in the sleep from which she
never walked.
DR.. C. Nellie was Immediately sum-
moned, and when he arrived the girl
was still alive, but despite his most
heroic efforts her life could not be
saved. Five minutes after Miss
Lewis pressed her lips to the fatal
liquid she was still in death.
Deputy Coroner Kent took charge
of the remains and an inquest will
be held by Coroner Mehrmann next
week The girls parents are pros
trated with grief, and Joseph Tell Is
mourning on the mountain.
Miss Lewis was one of the most
popular girls in the valley, and her
beauty made her the object of many
a country swain. At her parents
home she had always entertained
with a grace and good cheer WHICH
had become proverbial. The tragedy
has shocked all who knew her and a
gloom has settled over the younger
set in the town and countryside.

to another; yet their meetings are
still held in the streets and their
Jumping and screams are still heard.
The Holy Jumpers have beaten
the law
Where heretofore they were oblig-
ed to obtain a police permit to hold
meetings in the streets, now they
jump and preach Independently. The
police took their permit away from
them for Seventh and Broadway. APP
parently the city was rid Of the

Not so. The Jumpers hunted
about and found a private street over
which the police have no control, and
there the meetings of the Jumpers"

The private street is Mercantile
place, and the Jumpers suit their
own ends by jumping near Spring
street, where they can attract the
most attention, and yet still keep out
of the ban of the police.
For the past three weeks the meet
ings have been held nightly. but a

so this morning. rather than live

Miss Lewis, though, had become
dissatisfied with ranch life, and while
away at school she had learned to

the wife of Mr.. Tell, but she could
not endure the thought of life in
the hills, to which by his life occu-
