Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw to
Retire on February I.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 28.-It is
announced here today that Secretary
of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw will
leave the presidents cabinet on Feb
ruary 1. None of the officials here
seem to be prepared to make a fore
cast as to who his successor will be.
It is likely, too, that the next few
months will see Secretary Metcalf out
Of the cabinet and John Yerkes in his
place.
The resignation of Attorney Gener-
al Moody and the appointment of
Charles J. Bonaparte to succeed him
means that it is probable there will
be many changes in the detail of car.
rying out the Roosevelt policy.
It Is stated that one of the large
corporations which Mr.. Moody has
been fighting so valiantly has made a
big bid for his services. With Bon
aparte behind the government forces.
however, he is sure to have a most
formidable antagonist.
Mr.. Bonaparte will prosecute the

Oregon Postmaster Takes His Medi.
cine at the Whipping Post.
Baker City, Ore, Sept. 2S.-Ten
lashes were laid upon the barred back
of Robert w. Cecil in the county Jail
this morning at s o'clock at the hands
of Sheriff Brown. The Upton post
master had pleaded guilty to charge
of wife beating and was sentenced 20
be whipped.
The crowd which gathered about the
court house was too large to be taken
within the Jail corridors, so only about
30 people were admitted.
Several people were so anxious to
witness this unusual punishment that
they endeavored to bribe the officers.
Cecil walled and moaned all night,
and just before o'clock drank a pint
of whisky to steel his nerves. This
appeared to have a contrary effect
and when he had been divested of his
outer garments, manacled. and other
wise made ready for the humiliating
ordeal. his whimpering was prolong-
ed. For the castigation the sheriff
had large cat-o'-nine-tails with fleX-
ible stock. The sheriff struck the
blows with varying force. Three of
them brought forth howls from Cecil.
The county physician was present
with restoratives, salves, condiments
and bandages, which were applied to
the welts that had been raised from
Cecil's hips to the shoulders. The
doctor said the punishment was Sc.
we're, but that blood was not drawn,
or the skin broken. Cecil will be sore
for some days. Cecil said he would
go to Sumpter tomorrow and endeav-
or to settle up his affairs, which are
not extensive. so that he might get
out of the country. His wife came
down from Upton tonight and has
endeavovred to secure warrant for
his arrest for threats against her life.
Since his incarceration he has told
several witnesses that II he we're whip
| ped he would kill her If he had to hang
for 1t.
This is the second case of whipping
in the state since the law was passed
by the last legislature.

Stock Show a Big Success.


Portland, Sept. 2S.-The live stock
snow, no wbeing held on the PENN
sula across Guilds lake at the Lewis
and Clark exposition is proving a tre-
mendous success, and, as the manage
ment had expected, will be the fea-
ture event of the whole fair period
Attracted by the show, farmers from
all parts of the Pacific Northwest are
flockfng to the exposition city. Hotel
keepers and railroad men unite in
saying that there are more people in
Portland than at any other time since
the fair opened. In spite of this fact,
there is abundant room for all, and
prices for board and lodging continue
reasonable.
The live stock show is by far the
biggest thing of the kind ever held in
the west, and the showing of Shorthorn
cattle is one that never has been sur
passed anywhere. In horses, too, the
exhibition is of the first quality.
Mclaughlin Bros, of Kansas City,
Mo-, and Columbus, Ohio, and ].
Crouch & Son, of Lafayette, Ind, hold
ers of premiums from many fairs,
have big strings of imported horses
at the show.
Judging of stock has commenced,
and several thousand people watch
this interesting operation every day.
The cattle and horses to be judged are
brought into the arena, on either side
of which bleachers, convered with
canvas, have been erected for the ben.
eft of spectators. The weather so
far has been warm and pleasant and
everything has made for the success
of the show.
Friday afternoon. and other sales will
be held from time to come. The
stock show closes September 20.
