About Poor Farms.

In view of the fact that there
has been much discussion of late
in Benton concerning the poor
farm, an item from Albany, Civ
ing Linn couuty's experience is
given space. 1t says:
Paupers don't make good
farmers, and as a result Linn
csenty will soon change its sys-
tenn ofimanaging its poor farm.
No attempt will be made to oper-
ate the farm as an industry here
after, but the land will be rented,
and the man in charge will be
paid a stated price per month for
the board and care of the poor.
Heretofore the county has main
tanned the farm, paying a super
inteudent, and the system has
not proved profitable.

TUESDAYS TRAIN WRECK.
Collision in Dense Fog-SeveraI
Injured.

| There was much discussion o.
Corvallis streets at noon Tuesda
concerning a wreck that was re
ported on the S. P. which delav
ed trains and caused a genera
Stir in rail road affairs. Full par
ticulars of the accident are taker
from Wednesdays Herald, whicl
saws:
| The main line of the Souther,
Pacific was blocked all day Tues
day by wreck caused by a solt:
bound soldier-laden passenge,
train crashing head-on into Z
northbound extra freight, which
was standing on the siding al
Miller's Station, near ALBANY.
The collision occurred at TAO in
the morning in a heavy fog.
By the qui.k work OF Bert
Rose, engineer of the passenger,
a terrible wreck was averted and
great loss OF life prevented. He
applied the air. brakes in time to
slacken the speed of the oncom
ing train but was unable to avoid
Z. a.collision. The engine. of the
passenger was badly smashed up,
the tender being pushed over the
cab, and the head of the other
engine was torn out. One box
car was telescoped and another
damaged. The wrecked engines
stayed ON the rails and the track
was not torn up at all.
Engineer Bert Rose was the
only man severely hurt aud there
is no doubt but that he will re-
cover from his injuries. Con-
duet>r H. c. Murphy, of the pas
senger, was looking out Of the
window and received a cut ia the
face and Fireman Bair was bruis-
ed aud suffered a sprained arm
when he leaped from ,he engine.
The troop train carried FIVE,
companies of the Twentihth In

were cut and bruised whenthrown
out of their seats or berths by the
torce of the collision. They were

After making this statement
the medical commission inquired
if she had been commanded by
God to kill George Mitchell, why
she let Esther Mitchell do the
Staying. She said: ''It was
Gods will that she should do the

In speaking of the possible con-
sequences of the deed Esther
Mitchell,said: ..--5

punished for shooting Creheld.
When l was told it was my duty
to kill him I was glad. It was
not hard to do, for I was given
strength. When we planned to
shoot George we made all the
preparations beforehand. We
did not plan to escape after wards,
for we did not want to get away.

BEGINS TUESDAY.
Greatest Convention Held on the
q Coast-Spokane the Place.

No convention ever held in
the Poetic Northwes', not even
excepting the very important
meeting of the Irrigation Con-
gress, recently in session at
Boise, is Of greater value than
the convention that is to be held
in Spokane Tuesday and We'd
nesday Of next week. The
shire business men of this
part of the Pacific North west are
planning the program and pro-
pose movement which will ad-
vertise the four states of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana
in way which will rival the
greatest advertising schemes ever
known. Already many delegates
are promised for the convention,
assuring the important meeting
desired.
The committees which are
planning the meeting fight shy
of everything which is for indi-
vidual localities as against the
entire N Northwest. There is so
much of vast importance upon
which ali communities in the
four states can unite. that the
convention will 6nd that it will
have all it can do to plan this
work. .-#
Among the questions which
have been suggested for discus
sion are the placing of lecturers
in the East. advertising the Pa
cihc Northwest; opening of
rivers aud harbors; the estab-
lishment of a strong north west
press bureau; securing by united
action uat;cnl Il conventions for
all the cities of the Northwest,
which are large enough to en-
tertain them; the placing of an.
immigration agent in Europe;
securing Of an appropriation by
the legislature of each of the four
states for the advertising of that
state; the cooperation of the
United States government for

forest protection, Including the
patrol of forests by United States
cavalry troops. and the urging
OF leading cities to hold annual
expo 'itions and fairs.
Railroad officials are not only
giving unusual rates for the ben
eht OF this convention, but many
OF the officials are writing per-
sonal letters endorsing the i'm
portance of the movement. and
promising to be present.
The Corvallis Citizens League
received an urgent, personal in
vitation to send delegates to this
meeting, which is of widespread
interest.

Seattle, Sept. 19.-Iu answer
to the question as to whether CT
not she was willing to undergo
punishment for the murder of
George Mitchell. Mrs. Maud
Hurt Creffeld made the follow
ing reply to the alienist examin-
ing her this morning:
~ am anxious to pay the pen
atty of the law. I would be glad
to give up my life for the taking
of George Mitchell's life. L have
fulfilled the purpose for which
God placed me in this world and
l care not what happens to me. "
Mrs. Crefheld's testimony was
as follows:
"After the killing of my hus-
band I was so disturbed that
could not receive message from
God. After l prayed 1 entered
into state Of prayer that God
might witness to me what I should
do. When I became composed,
it was witnessed through my
spirit that it was the will of God
that l should kill George Mitch
ell. I feared that my desires and
not the will of God was speaking,
to me, so l again entered into
state of prayer. Again Gods
word came to me- that I should
kill George Mitchell. There
could be no mistake that it was
Gods will.
"My husbands spirit also
spoke to me telling me it was his
wish as we'll as Gods that l should
avenge his death.
81 was to fulfill the word of
God that I would be subjected to
the penalty of mans law. But
then I never consider the laws of

THEY SAID GOODBYE.
Reception i'm Honor of Departing
Family, Tuesday Evening.

The handsome home OF Mr
and Mrs. Thomas Bell was tn,
scene Of very pleasant socia
event Tuesday evening, when ;
farewell social was rendered Rev
and Mrs. Edward Forrest Green
who 60 to Ashland to reside.
The rooms were beautifully
decorated with China astors il
purple pink and white, and the
evening was spent in social con
yer satiou, enlivened by voca'
solos by Rev. Green, Miss Edna
Allen and Mrs. Charles Peterson.
Two handsome pieces of cut
glass were bestowed upon Rev.
and Mrs. Green by the Assem-.
bled guests, as a token of the
high regard in which they are
held. The presentation speech
was made by Prof. F. Berchtold,
who said that in the gathering on
that occasion happiness and sad
ness were inter-mingled, as ties
were being severed, and that in
losing Rev. Green the Congrega-
tional church lost not only a
pastor but a brother. He said
that Rev. Green had stood by the
church faithfully, and that when
members were i'll he was there to
proffer his assistance.
In speaking of Mrs. Green,
Prof. Berchtold stated that the
church would feel keenly her
loss, for never has there been
anyone more faithful and eff
cient in the musical work of the'
church than she, and in other
branches of labor she has ever
been ready and willing to assist.
In responding to Prof. Berch-
told, Rev. Green declared that
while he left Corvallis with re-
gret, he did not feel that the ties
of friendship formed were being
severed, as he should ever cherish
for this city and her people the
kindlies1 feelings. He said that
he expected to return, perhaps
not as pastor but as a, friend,
and that he should ever have
warm spot in his heart for Cor
Wallis, and especially for the Con-
gregational church.
Rev. G.. H. Feese OF the M.
E. church was present and made
a brief address, saving among
other things, that one of the char.
acteristics which he had observed
in both Mr.. aud Mrs. Green was
faithfulness. When a service
was expected of them, they were
always prompt in discharging
the duty. |
About IS guests were present
at the reception, every church in
the city being represented, a
fact which demonstrates more
forcibly than mere words the
high esteem in which Rev. and
Mrs. Green are held.
In her position as head of the
vocal department at the Oregon
Agricultural College the past few
years. Mrs. Green has proven
herself a capable instructor and
thorough musician, and her loss
will be keenly. felt. She has
aided in many public ways with
her music and will be greatly
missed also in this respect.
Rev. Green has been known
always as a broad minded, pub
lie spirited gentleman, as we'll as
an able pulpiter. and hosts of
friends join in wishing he and
his family success wherever they
go.

IN SEATTLE.
What Has Been Done i'm Mitchell
CreffieId Case.

| A dispatch from Seattle, Tues
day, gave the details of what hac
occurred up to that date in the
trial OF the two women in whom
Corvallis people are naturally
somewhat interested because ot
the local parties who are concern
ed in the trial. The dispatch
says: Will H. Morris, the attor-
ney who defended George Mitch
ell when tried for the murder OF
Franz Edmund Creheld, was the
most interesting witness in the
Mitchell-Crefheld insanity hear
ing today. The session was very
short. Aside from Morris, Mrs.
Creheld and DR.. Snyder, the Jail
physician, were the only witness
es examined.
Mr.. Morris testified to having
seen Esther Mitchell when she
came to Seattle Immediately after
the shooting of Crefield. He
said that when he introduced him
self as the attorney for ner brother
she refused to have anything to
do with him, saying that she had
nothing in common with her
brother George. He declared
that he and the other attorneys
interested in the Mitchell case,
including Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney, John F. Miller, had
conceded at that time that the
two women were Insane. He
said also that during the trial of
the case he had had those who
were known to have some unusu-
al interest in the case sworn in as
witnesses, so that they could be
excluded from the courtroom, as |
he feared demonstration might
be made.
Morris declared that in his |
opinion the women have such a |
weak mentality that it will be
to secure a jury that
will convict them. He declared |
his belief that they are crazy, and
will never recover. He, said that
1e thought the girl had done the
shooting because of a plan
been arranged for a
lew "Christ," to which she
vas to have been a party, and
which was stopped by the death
If Crefheld.
Mrs. Creffeld was placed upon
he stand during the session and
Questioned closely regarding her
ife aud religious belief, and later
DR.. Snyder told of the life of the
women in the county Jail. No
hing of particular Importance
vas brought out in the examina-
ion of either of the witnesses.
