L0hN|E DAME GOES TO PRISON
Pleaded Guilty in Portland To
Charge Of Po|ygamy
GIVEN EIGHTEEN MONTHS SENTENCE
FORMER WALLA WALLAN WAS
LET OFF EASY By JUDGE
GANTENBEIN.
GIVEN EIGHTEEN MONTHS SENTENCE

Lorenzo j. Dame, the Walla Walla
boy, pleaded guilty to a charge of po-
lygamy in Portland yesterday and was
sentenced to IS months in the Oregon
penitentiary. The prisoner was WISH
bly, affected when the sentence was
pronounced.
When Dame was brought before the
court and the plea entered Judge Gam
tenbein spoke of the seriousness of the
crime that had been committed, and
how the prisoner had mistreated his
legal wife and the girl he recently
the fact that the crime that the pris-
oner had committed was a most I'M
usual one. Judge Gantenbein said that
the fact that Dame had been sentenced
to serve a term in the Washington
penitentiary would not be held against
the prisoner because he had been par
doned, says the Telegram.
But you should have been doubly
careful to observe all the laws" said
the jurist, latter that experience"
Owing to the fact that Dame has
been a Woodworking young man, that
he has had far more than his share of
troubles, that he did not attempt to
run away after he learned that he had
committed a crime, and even before
any attention to the fact had been
brought before the district attorney,
and upon the earnest pleadings of
friends, Judge Gantenbein made the
sentence a light one. The court could
have sentenced Dame to four years in
the penitentiary and to pay a fine of
$1,000.

WdIa Wa||a Man Serving Time In

PAS SENTENCED TO SERVE FIFTEEN YEARS
CONVICTED OF POISONING PART
NER FOLLOWING TROUBLE
OVER MONEY MATTERS.

Hubert Weiser formerly a Walla
Walla barkeeper, serving a 15-year
sentence in the penitentiary at New
Westminster. B. c., is reported maxi
ing strenuous efforts to secure a re-
mission of his sentence. Weiser left
Walla Walla during the gold excite
ment in Alaska and went to the Yu-
kon, leaving his family in this city.
Wesier secured several placer claims
In the fall of 1903 he had some
trouble in collecting his money and is
said to have visited the claim person.
ally to look after his interests.
1t was while Wesier was stopping at
his claims that one of the active part
ners was found dead from arsenic
poisoning. An envelope that had I'M
contained the poison adj
was found in the pocket Of
a coat belonging to Weiser, and main
ly upon this circumstantial evidence
he was convicted and sentenced to Is
years by Judge Creigh. Nearly three
years of the term have now been
served and on the grounds that the
conviction was solely obtained upon
circumstantial evidence, friends of the
accused are working hard to secure his
release or a remission of the sentence.

Cut glass for wedding gifts.
Be very careful selecting cut
glass for wedding gifts. There
is a great difference in cut
glass, the cheap cuttings being
neither artistic nor desirable.
Our cut glass is cut by the high
est grade cutters in this coun-
try. The cuttings are exquis-
itely done, and wonderfully pol
ished. And yet our prices are
not in excess of those asked for
ordinary and inferior cutting.
You will find no difficulty in

once delivering a course Of lectures at
a summer school in a small city OF the

lecturer stayed was a church where
an Unmatched but Jealous quartet
practiced and performed during all
hours Of the torrid afternoons and
evenings. One evening, seeing the IA

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1543 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked bv
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was cOmmon for mothers to make
their W home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained q won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study Of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bOuntifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesseH of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi,
cines for her WI family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
iarto the female sex, and Lydia i. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate Interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen.
NAL year dawned it found their
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this peint Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.
