 law, and to bring about the liberation of many hundreds of men who are de- olared to be in a state of slavery, both white and colored.
 Whites as We'll as Negroes.
 The latest informant as to affairs in southern Florida says that the conditions oe slavery are not enforced on negroes solely. and that there are q number of native white mem who are in bondage. It is further declared that the men respons- ible for this condition are not southerners, but mostly northern men and companies engaged in the turpentne and lumber business, and in the mining of phosphate rock.
 The shorlffs of many of the counties in the southern part of the state are said to he parties to the enslavng of negroes in the phosphate mines, turpentine farms, lumber mills. etc., but the vast majority of negroes who are kept in prison bar racks and not allowed to esca,pe are from Geoesisezaftd other southern states, who have been entieed into Florida and put to work In such way that they must remain for indefinite periods awed by brutal bosses armed with rifles and ready to use them without hesitation. It is stated that the people who live in the sparsely populated section are afraid to give information against the offenders. as murder is not uncommon and little time would be lost in visiting punish ment. As a rule. too most of the people living In the vicinity of the works know little about what is going on inside the barracks, and are not allowed communi- cation with those working under direction of the guards.
 Must Send Detectives.
 The suggestion is made that if the de- partment of justice ever expects to as certain the truth of the deplorable con dtions, it will have to send special agents and detectives into the section. The de- partment of justice has been at work for more than a year on somewhat similar cases In q number of states, the last trial being at Cape Girardeau, Mo. Tho department proposes to push cases of this kind until the practice is broken up

Exhibit by Ladies OF Presbyterian
Church Admired by Many
Visitors.

The annual chrysanthemum show
given by the ladies of the Presbyterian
church last Friday afternoon and
evening was largely attended and was
a great success, financially and other
wise. Two long tables in the main
hall Of the Woodman building were
covered with these beautiful winter
flowers, and nicely arranged booths at
the side of the hall added to the
attractiveness of the exhibit.
Some very fine specimens OF chrysan-
themums of various colors and
varieties were shown, and huge

finest in Polk county. The second
prize went to Mrs. David Critchlow.
The prizes for the best single white
and yellow flowers were both won by
Mrs. H. b. Cosper, and the prize for
the best single pink flower by Mrs.
Lydia D'Lashmutt. These single

we're perfect specimens Of their kind.
The judges of exhibits were Mrs. DR..
Mark Hayter, Mrs. E. W. Fuller and
Miss Ednelle Collins.
Many people visited the show in the
afternoon and the hall was crowded in
the evening. Vocal solos by Mrs.
G. G.. Coad, Mrs J. G. Uglow and Miss
Opal McDevitt was greatly enjoyed by
all, and a reading by Mrs. d. Julian
Becker was a feature of the eveniaS's
entertainment. A homemade candy
booth was we'll patronized, and another
booth at which were sold many pretty
articles of fancy work brought the
ladies neat sum of money. The net

FINE SHEEP IN POLK
Demand for Registered COtsWOlds
and LincOlns Greatly Exceeds
Supply.

About the only thing breeders OF
registered Cotswolds and Lincolns In
Polk county have to complain OF at
the present time is that the demand
for bucks has become so good that the
huvers who come after them are
getting into the habit Of buying almost
anything whose looks will pass
muster These buyers probably sell
them as the genuine article.
The high reputation of Polk County $
Cotswolds and Lincolns has been at
tanned as a result Of the skill and
thorough methods of few breeders.
The existing condition is one which
naturally results in such cases. Such
hreaders as Messrs. Stump, Riddell

themselves suffer materially as re-

INSANE GIRLS DEED
Kills Her Cousin, w. B. Palmer, of
Monmouth, Without Word of
Warning.

A terrible tragedy occurred early
Monday morning at the home Of Eu-
gene Palmer four miles east Of
Albany, when his daughter, Melcina
Palmer, shot and instantly killed her
cousin, William Palmer, of Mon
mouth The deed was committed dur
ing a fit of insanity. The Albany
Herald gives the following account of
the sad affair:
The shooting took place in the sitting
room of the Palmer home. The victim
and his uncle were sitting by the stove
engaged in conversation, having just
finished breakfast. While thus en-
gagged, Melcina Palmer, quietly and
unobserved by her father and cousin,
entered the room and sat down on a
couch directly behind the two men,
and close to the door.
Hearing slight noise, the father
turned and was Mortified to see his
daughter draw pistol from beneath a
fold in her dress. Before he could
move or even speak the woman had
leveled the gun at her cousin and fired
The bullet penetrated his skull just al
the base Of the brain. Without utter
ing a sound, the crazed woman's
victim collapsed in his chair, blooC
| ~ Fro,0, fI,a xtya,,pI
1t was all done so suddenly that tht
girls father could make no move t
prevent the tragedy. When he diC
jump from his chair his daughter haC
half turned, still holding the smoking
weapon in her hand. She seemed
about to snoot herself, but before sht
could make any further movement
Mr.. Palmer had seized her, anC
wrested the gun from her grasp.
Since her childhood. the woman hai
been mentally weak, and at times ha'
had violent spells. When quite young
she one day is said to have swallowed
carbolic acid, which burned he
severely, and ever since she has beer
subject to convulsions, supposed to b.
due to the effects of the acid. She il
now 28 years old.
About two and a half years ago th'
girl attempted to commit suicide
shooting herself in the breast Th
wound was only slight and she sool
recovered. She was sent to the asylum
for the insane at Salem where she re
mained until September, 1905. On
three months parole she was allowe'
to come home, and at the expiration o
this time, her conduct having beeI
good, she was permitted to remain a
home on the farm. She evinced n
signs Of violent insanity until tn
tragedy of Monday morning. Sh
was removed to the asylum agai
Tuesday.
The deceased was 80 years old, an
unmarried. His parents reside a

SAFEGUARDS STATE BANKING
commission Is Drafting Law for APP
provaI of Next Oregon
Legislature.

a committee Of Oregon bankers
composed of f. W. Haines of Forest
Grove Il. Hirsehberg, of lnde-
pendence, and f. V. Carter of Ash
land, appointed by the Oregon State
bankers Association for the purpose,
mas Tor some time been engaged in
formulating law for the regulation
OIL state banks, and it is expected to
nave the draft of the proposed measure
completed next week. 1t is calculated
not only to safeguard the depositors
put will be welcomed by Legitimate
banking institutions. Bankers as
well as depositors are agreed
upon the advisability of regu-
lation of state banks, by law, in Ore
gon and it is thought there will be no
objection to the proposed measure
which is being framed with much
care.
Banks other than National that are
doing business in Oregon will be com
PEELED to prepare and submit three
statements Of their condition each year
and will be examined annually by a
State Bank Commissioner, when the
new law now being prepared
by a committee from the Oregon State
Bankers Association is enacted. No
opposition to the bill is expected, and
it is thought that if any changes are
made in the act now being framed,
they will be of a minor nature.
Under the proposed law State Bank
Commissioner will be appointed, and
to him will be submitted statements
showing in detail the standing and
condition of all state banks and bank
ing houses in Oregon. He will ex-
anime each and every one of these
banks annually.
The provision requiring three re-
ports by banks each year is considered
the most important feature of the bill
and it is believed that it will prove a
great protection and safeguard to de-
positors.
An important provision is that nc
bank shall have more than half its
paid-in stock and surplus invested in
real estate, in which is included bank
buildings and furnishings. No more
than so per cent of the paid-in stock
and surplus shall be loaned on reaI
estate. Provision is made that banks
affected by the new law must keep al
least IS per cent of their deposits in
cash.
The stockholders shall be liable fol
twice the amount of the stock sub
scribed, the same as stockholders II
National banks. Banks, before open
ing, must secure charters and mus
have a capital of not less than $4,000
which will be graded according to the
population of the cities in which the
institutions are located. At least 81
per cent of the capital stock must b'
paid in when bank begins business
and the balance not later than si2
months thereafter
There are about 100 banking insti
tutions in the state that will be affected
by the new law. At present, state in
stitutions are not governed by any
state law, and banks can be opened Al
easily as grocery stores.-Ashlant
