ADOPT BERTILLoN SYSTEM.
Multnomah County the First i'm the
State to Adopt 1t.

A simplified form of the Bertillon
system of "photographing" criminals
is to be installed in the office OF Sher-
iff word. The necessary mechanism
is now being put in place, while the
books, charts and instruments OF
measurement will be secured as soon
as possible. says the Telegram
Multnomah county will be the first
In the Northwest to make use of this
famous system of measuring and iden-
tifying criminals. So great has been
the demand for more definite identifi-
cation that the introduction OF the
Bertillon system became necessary.
BY this system a criminal once
photographed" can never hide his
identity, the measurements are kept
on record and as the Identification
does not rely upon changeable feat-
ures the figures can be relied upon
wears after they are first taken.
The system is used in all the larger
cities of the United States. This
method is a series of measurements
NJ the criminal. The head Is meas
ured from three uliierehe PoS'e
ears, thumb and middle finger are
recorded and length Of forearm IRON
elbow to tip of middle finger. Th'
length of the spinal column is mex
recorded and of the bones OF th'
lower leg and feet.
All scars. and the appearance Oh tn'
forehead are carefully noted. Thu'
no. difference what changes the Grim
inal may undergo Identification re
mains a very simple matter. Aftei
each criminal has been measured D!
this system he is checked OH on
card. preserved in filing cabinets.
These cards are divided in classe
with the measurement Of the heao
arms and spinal column designatin
the first divisions. Then subdivision
are made according to finger toe an
. other measurements, so that by run
, ming through the card rack it is eas
to locate any description in certai
, subdivision.

SOLDIERS HOME COMPLAINTS
Investigation of Idaho Institution
Prayed for.

The following protest and petition
to Governor Gooding has been filed
with that official in relation to the
management of the Idaho State Sol
diers' home. All the signers are in
mates of the home:
First-That the home is and has
been alive with bedbugs and no ef-
fort has been made to eradicate them
by the authorities of the home, and
whatever effort has been made in
that direction has been made by the
inmates themselves and purely as a
matter of self-protection.
Second-Neither the commandant
nor the matron (his wife) visits the
hospital or sick ward more than once
in three months. The sick inmates
are neglected no little delicacies, so
much relished by sick men every
where. are ever prepared for them,
their beds are unmade unless the sick
men make them themselves or MS
comrades, out of pure sympathy
make them for him.
Third--That it is an impossibility
almost, for any one of the old soldiers
to obtain a ride to and from town in
the institution wagon, although the
same is state property and taken care
of by one of the inmates of the nome
Cleanliness is not one of the virtues
practiced by the authorities at the
home and 1t is respectfully submitted
that If the adjutant general OF the
state or a committee of either house
of the legislature would visit the
home at a time entirely unexpected
bv those in authority, that such m
spectors would find a condition Oh
things there existing which would

tai at Moberly under treatment for
blood poisoning, due to the amputa-
tion OF a finger several weeks ago..
During the recent cold spell almost
all trains that are coming to this city,
have hot boxes and necessitate a
lengthy stop here to have them cooled.
This throws most VI them behind

who robbed the depot at Macon and

lief that he was slightly demented.
Although the Wabash trains from
the north are not running on schedule
time yet, conditions In Iowa are much
improved to-day and the trains are not
running nearly SO late as they did the
earlier part of the week. All trains
going north are more or less late in
arriving at their destination but 1t is
thought that the trains will be run

week. The trains from the east were
only a few minutes late to-day.
An accident occurred in the Burling-
ton railroad yards at Chilllcothe early
Monday morning that illustrates the
severity Of the cold. An ~eastbound
freight train took water at the tank
east of the depot. The shut-off valve
got out of fix and the water overlooked
the engine tank aud ran onto the rails,
freezing almost instantly. Before the
engine could back up it was frozen
tightly to the rails. The section gang
was called out about four O'Clock Mon
