HOLDS VIM. NACEL
Judge Gest Refuses to Discharge
Prisoner Charged With
Murder.
NEWLIN CASE NOT SIMILAR
Declares Supreme Court Has Not Yet
Passed Upon Question at Issue in
This Particular Case.

William Nagel, charged with the
murder of Carl Brady about a year
ago will not be given an absolute dis
charge by the court on the plea that
ne was not tried within the four months
prescribed in the statute. Judge Gest
so decided this morning, and it is now
probable that the case will be tried in
the circuit court of this county before
it again goes to the supreme court
The attorneys for the defendant are
confident that they will get ruling in
their favor if taken to the higher tri-
bunal, but Judge Gest took the position
that in the absence of any ruling by
the supreme court covering this case
he could not anticipate what that court
would do in the future.
Never Been Presented.
"The precise conditions existing in
this case have never been before the
supreme court that l know Of" said
Judge Gest. He compared the statutes
of other states from which decisions
had been cited. Some" he said, 'es-
pecially the statute of Virginia, pro-
vide for an absolute discharge forever.
Others provide for a discharge from
the prosecution then pending. l inter
prete the statute of this state to mean
the prosecution pending, and that he
was discharged from and a new indict-
ment found"
He referred TO the Brooks case. say
ing that in that case the defendant
never was discharged The case to
which he was referred, that of the
People VS.. Newlin, he said was pre-
cisely like the Brooks case In fact
they refer to the Brooks case in the
opinion on the Newlin case.
Opinion Not Changed.
Il have not changed my opinion on
the subject" said the court, 'and l see
nothing in the decision of the supreme
court to induce me to change it. 1t is
matter of considerable Importance,
the defendant has an interest in it, and
the people have an interest in it."
He takes the position that the dis
charge would amount to an acquittal,
but the habeas corpus proceeding does
not determine the guilt or innocence
of the defendant. He is simply dis
charged for want of prosecution when
discharged under the law.

Give Up job,

Last evening about 1880 two
strange men were seen sitting in the
doorway of the Burt drug store, and il
is supposed that they were guilty OF
the attempt to enter the store. A blunt
instrument was used, apparently, and
after removing the lock plate, an eff
fort had been made to cut through the
door around the lock. When the work
was about a third finished, it was given
up, either through fright or discour-
agement over it's slow progress.
The theft of the trousers from Mr..
Nissen's bed room was an easy mat
ter, for the window of the room, which
is on the ground floor, was open, and
the trousers might have been reached
without entering the room. The watcl
and money in the pockets make the
loss considerable.

THE DANGER TO THE CHILD


May be real or the snake may be harm
less one, but there is danger that menaces
every child's life if the mother is def
cient in womanly health and functional
vitality.
Thousands of women have borne their
sufferings and kept their troubles to
themselves from motives of delicacy and
feeble childhood has paid for it.
DIR. Pierce, forty years ago, consulted
Nature, and found that she had provided
remedies in abundance for the cure OF
woman's peculiar ailments and weak
nesses He found that non-alcoholic.
glyceric extracts of Golden Seal root,
Cohosh root and Lady's Slipper root,
combined in just the right proportions,
gave such surprising results that this
compound soon became standard IA
vorite of his in the treatment of such
cases. In iitele time the demand for it
became SO great that he determined to
put it up and provide for its general sale
so that the multitudes needing it could
readily supply themselves.
i This is now known all over the civil
lied world as DR.. Pierce's FGUOrite Pre-
ScriptSon, and its unparalleled record of
hundreds of thousands of cures, in the
last forty years. justifies all that can be
said of it.

DIE RIGHT.

After much investigation the
council saw fit at the meeting of
that body Monday evening to
grant to A. Welch a thirty-year
franchise for the equipment,
operation and maintenance of an
electric light and power plant in
the City of Corvallis. The Ga
zette prints in this issue the Or
dinance complete.
There are a few who are in
clined to the belief that the city
acted unWisely in this matter and
we hear Of the value of fran
chises granted in other cities
large cities such as Chicago and
New York. In such cities a
franchise granted at the present
time without compensation to the
city granting it would be a bad
bargain for said city. But there
was time in the history of all
large cities when franchises were
practically worthless and had
those cities not welcomed, nay,
invited, capital to establish busi-
nesses within their limits we
should never have heard of, say,
New York or Chicago.
That those who secured fran
chises in these cities years ago
have grown fat there is no deny
ing, nor on the other hand, can
we deny that these concerns
were factors in the creation of
those cities.
Take the matter of the fran
chise just granted by our council
and ask yourself if there is any
man in this city who could or
would do for Corvallis what Mr..
Welch promises? To say the
least, any of our home capitalists
would have demanded an ex.
elusive franchise. They might
have been willing to pay a little
something for it, bat they would
have required protection. Not
so with Mr.. Welch and his com
pany-they have no exclusive
privileges. They have little
more than assurance that they
will not be ordered to pull down
their poles and wires. If any.
body desires to compete with
Mr.. Welch all they are obliged
to do is to get permission from
the council. This assures a fail
deal for the city.
Taking a broad view of the
matter it seems that the city has
made a good bargain. At any
rate, we will have to grow some
before we can sell our franchises
at New York prices.

Woman's Work.

One Of the important depart
ments of the Home Mission So
ciety in the M. E. church, South,
is that of Rescue Work. They
own well equipped home in
Dallas, Texas, where unfortun-
ate girls are given a home for
two years; if necessary, longer.
During this time they must con-
form to rules which in every
way tend to make them useful,
christian women. They are
taught sewing by an experienced
dressmaker till, if, necessary,
they could earn their living sew
ing. They are given thorough
course in housework, sewing, and
a certain time in the laundry,
preparing meals, and keeping
the balance of the house in or
der.
Where needed, they must take
a common school education, and
some part of every day is spent
in systematic study Of the Bible.
In twelve years 800 girlszhave
come to this home and only one
left through disobedience. Many
have found christian homes, 9th
ers have married, and some have
