ASKS PATRICKS PARDON.
Gov-Elect Hughes Is Petitioned by Med
ico-Legal Society to Free Con-
victed Murderer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Even now,
before Gov. Elect Hughes has taken Of
fee pressure is being brought on him to
grant a full pardon to Albert t. Pat
rick, whose death sentence Gov. Higgins
committed to Imprisonment for life. The
Medico-Legal society of this city,
through Clark Bell, its president, has
sent an appeal for Patrick to Mr..
Hughes.
The society sent also the report of its
special committee, composed OF expert
enced embalmers and undertakers. The
committee injected embalmlng huld con-
tanning arsenic in the right bronchial ar
terry Of a cadaver.
The committee reports: The embalm-
ing fluid does and must of necessity en-
ter and suffuse the lung of the person
embalmed."
The report says also:
After carefully examining the evidence OF
the medical witnesses and others given be-
fore the jury which condemned Patrick we
are of opinion that the medical witnesses
who swore in the case that the embalmlng
fluid did not enter and could not enter the
lungs of Rice were giving testimony upon a
subject concerning which they had no
knowledge or practical experience. Their
evidence miSled the jury.
from natural causes and that Patrick should
have full pardon by the executive.
Inc report recommends tnaI the use
of embalming fluid containing arsenic be
forbidden by law as its presence makes
it almost impossible to detect traces
of arsenic which might have been given
with murderous intent.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Dec. 24-The
ETllinois Legislature is to be asked to pass
II law prohibiting the use of arsenic in
embalming fluids. Physicians and prose
futing attorneys say the use of such
Huids has greatly complicated murder
eases in which poisoning is charged.

WILL BE ENLARGED
Carpenters Are Making Many Changes
in Appearance and Arrange
ment OF Hotel Gall.

To meet the demands of rapidly
growing patronage, Landlord J. B.
Thompson Of the Hotel Gail is making
many substantial and expensive i'm
provements in that popular hostelry.
The entire south wing Of the big three
story building is being remodeled,
and an addition is being built on the
east end. The old kitchen range will
be replaced by one Of the largest size
and most modern style, and other
conveniences will be added to tighten
the labor Of preparing meals for the
large crowd Of people that daily
patronize the hotel dining room.
The dining room will be enlarged
by tearing out a partition wall and
throwing the present dining room and
kitchen into one large room. The
kitchen will be moved to the east wing,
and will be connected with the dining
room by wide folding doors. The new
dining room when completed will be
one of the largest in the Willamette
Valley and will be furnished in q way
to leave nothing to be desired for the
comfort and convenience of the guests.
The new improvements will cost a
neat sum Of money, but are made
necessary by rapidly increasing
patronage. The Hotel Gail has grown
in popularity since the day it became
the property Of Mr. Thompson, and 1t
Is now rated by the travelling public
as one Of few strictly first-class hotels
in Western Oregon. Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson devote their personal atten-
tion to the management Of the house,
and nothing is overlooked that
will add to the comfort and pleasure
of the guests. Such faithful and
efficient effort deserves to win, and II
is to be hoped that the business OF the
Gail will continue to grow until many
other and larger improvements will
become necessary.

WAR ON PATENT MEDICINES
Newberg Being Dry, However, Tenn
perance Workers Center Attack
on Lemon Extract.

The following report Of the recent
W. @. 7. U. convention at Newberg
was handed us by one of the prominent
members Of the organization residing
in this city:
The State w. g. T. U. convention
met in Newberg on October IA and
was royalty entertained. Seventy y-nine
voting delegates, as we'll as large
number Of visiting delegates were in
attendance.
The reports Of the various lines of
work were unusually complete. In
addition to the usual routine business,
several new features on the program
added to the interest of the occasion,
the patent medicine demonstration
being one of these. However, as New
berg is dry town. the ladies were
unable to procure the samples desired
and found it necessary to confine
themselves to jamaica ginger and
lemon extract, both Of which were
shown to contain sufficient alcohol to
kindle the kitchen fire.
In the gold medal contest, Mr..
Miller of Linn county carried off the
prize. The increase of membership
for the year was 279. The neat balance
in the treasury showed care and ability
in managing the finances and much
self-sacrifice on the part Of host OF
women who are giving gratuitous
service to the cause for God and home
and humanity.
All the old officers we're reelected, as
follows: Mrs. l.. HI. Addition, presi-
dent; Mrs. Ada Newell, president;
Mrs. Henrietta Brown, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. Ida Marsters, record
ing secretary; Mrs. H. J. Shane,
treasurer.

An Editors Advice to a Farmer.

A farmer wrote to the editor of the
Farmers Friend this letter:
''Mr. Editor-Sir: have a horse
that has been afflicted the past year
with periodical fits of dizziness. Please
answer through your valuable paper
and let me know what l should do
with him, as he seems to get worse
instead of better. am afraid he will
be unfit for work if something is not
done soon."
The editor replied in the next issue
as follows:
"Our honest advice, based on a care
full perusal of that excellent work,
Every Man His Own Horse Doctor,
would be to take this horse some time
when he is not dizzy and sell him to a
stranger"
