Rippsr Continues to Rlp.

st. Louis, Mo, Jan. 24.-The work
of the ripper continues and the police
seem unable to locate the moral per
vert. The total number of victims OF
the fiend, who works on the down
town streets, numbers fourteen whom
he has stabbed, all the women being
stabbed and slashed in the legs and
hips. st. Louis alientists agree that
the perpetrator of these assaults is a
degenerate, who seeks not human life
but the qualification of a perverted
passion, which is satisfied only by
stabbing women.

There is a possibility that the re-
cent action of the county court re-
quiring a license of $500 a year from
any outside company selling vehicles
in the county may be tested.
Complaint has been received by w.
j. Clarke. secretary of the Hardware
Mems association, that a concern has
unloaded two carloads of buggies at
Milton, and is now engaged in ped
ding them among the farmers of that
section. This morning Mr. Clarke laid
the matter before District Attorney
Phelps and should sufficient evidence
be secured the agents will be prose-
cuted unless they pay the license.
1t is said they are seeking to evade
the license by driving prospective
purchasers over the state line and
there completing the deal. Whether
or not they will be able to escape the
license in this manner remains to be
seen. ...

WITH DEFENSE
THE EVIDENCE WILL NOT
Justify MURDER CHARGE.
Lawyers Predict Either Hung Jury,
or n Verdict of ManslaaIghter for
Mrs. Ledoux, Charged With the
Murder of McVicar-Niotivc Said
to BclLaclSing. and Direci Evidence
of Giving Poison-The W6anan Has
Not Made Any Damaging Admis-
.sions.

Stockton, Cal, March S1.-The
general opinion of lawyers is that the
defense has the best in the Lcdoux
case and that the woman will not get
worse than a manslaughter verdict,
and has good chance for a hung
jury, or an a0quittal.
The prosecution admits 1t has not
discovered a motive. They cannot
prove the woman gave McVicar poi
son, although an attempt will be
made to prove This by circumstantial
evidence. There will probably be no
dispute that the woman put Mcvicar
In the trunk.
The defense viii claim the woman
had no reason for wishing McVicar
out of the way; that the poisoning
was either accidental or suicide, and
that the woman's fear of prosecution
caused her 10 attempt to dispose Of
the body. Mrs. LedCux and her
mother are confident of acquittal.
II is known positively the woman
has made no damaging admissions
She will admit on the stand that the
Joe Miller story was a myth, invented
on the spur of the moment.

At the conclusion of Colonel Ra-
ley's eloquent address, Mr.. Meeker
formally dedicated the monument.
The aged pioneer, with barred head,
stood facing the west, which had been
his goal when passing along this old
trail 54 years ago, and told in a few
faltering words the memories which
thronged his mind as he recalled that
old-time, when with sick wife and
20 years of age, he had pressed west
ward, looking neither to right nor
left as he passed along the desolate
and perilous route, his only hope be-
ing to reach the settlements of the
Willamette valley where he could
secure assistance and rest after the
long journey across the plains.
At the close of his remarks Amer
lea" was sung and the exercises clos
ed.
A large number OF old pioneers
were present at the dedication, among
the earliest being Burr Johnson, who
crossed the plains in 1874, and Mrs.
NJ. A. Raley, who crossed in 1853.
A number of photographs of the
scene were taken by Major Moor
house and Burns Bros.

regard to the selection of pavement
the Mayor suggested that after pro-
posals have been received on the diff

left to select what they desire.
This brought forth sharp replies
from both Councilmcn Rem and Nc
Cormmach. The latter asked why the
street committee had been instructed
to investigate the subject and sent to
adjoining cities II their report was
to have no weight. Councilman Rem
said that in his impression the peo-
pie had elected the council to con-
duct the public business and expected
them to do so.
The mayor then Modified the feel

gested the idea and the council was

At the council meeting last night II
was decided 10 make an open field
and receive bitis upon all varisties of
street paving from macadam to as
phalt. At the session next wefk ordi-
nances will be passed defining the
various forms Of paving, and then the
world at large will be asked to big
upon improving Main and Court
streets Then when such has been
done the council will select the class
of material ttey deem best and will
pass resolution proposing TO use
the same. This resolution will be 'ad-
vertised for 10 days, and IL no remon-
STRANGE is received from two-thirds
the property owners involved, the
council will tiIen advertise for bids
upon the class Of paving desired.
BY following the above plan, at
least months time will be lost, but
It is held by Mayor Fee to be the
only way to proceed without 'becom-
ing subject TO an injunction.
1t was an Interesting session last
evening, and at Zines some warmth
was shown by the different partici-
pants
At tho opening Of the session the
mayor declared the question before
the council was whether competitive
bids should be received for street
paving, or the work should be award
ed to the Warren Construction COM
pany as proposed. He said he had
examined the charter and found ii
required there should be competitive
biddlmg, and that should any other
course be taken an injunction could
be secured in the courts. He insist
ed the law does not allow the conn
ell to 10 indirectly what It cannot do
directly. Also. that he would veto
any ordinance the council might pass
to let a paving contract without COM
petitivc bidding.

He was asked by the mayor why
his company had been enjoined at
Wallis Walla, and in reply declared
the council there had been en5oined
from doing any class OF paving. At
his insisnce a copy of Judge Brents
decision was read, and Mr.. Reese
asked permission to speak further on
the subject but this he was denied
by the mayor

OLD OREGON TRAIL
1843-1S57.

Such Is the carved inscription on
the monument reared on the route of
the old emigrant road at the west end
Of webb street, near the Tutuilla
bridge, this morning.
About 1900 people, including 500
school children, attended the dedica-
ton of the monument this morning,
and the event is one which will be
long remembered by those who at
tended.
The procession formed at the cor
ner of Main and Webb streets, and
was led by the Meeker OK team, and
Included a number of carriages and
the long line of children and pioneers
on foot.
The monument had already been
inscribed and was planted by the
Trnadside, in a cement base, at the
exact spot at which the old emigrant
stnail crossed the Tutuilla, about 100
feet from the present crossing of that
stream.
The monument, which is made OF
native oregon stone, quarried at El-
gin, was prepared and furnished by
the Commercial association, inscribed
with the legend given above and il
placed in a conspicuous place at the
side of the main public road leading
westward from the city.
On arriving at the place Mr.. Meek
er made few brief remarks as to
the objects of the meeting and stated
briefly his motives in retracing the
old trail. He said that he began this
movement solely and wholly out OF
love for the pioneers and pioneer
subjects and believed that the old
highway by which the great north
west was peopled should be perpetu-
ated and remain portion of the his
pose he had undertaken to retrace
1t for 1000 miles and to place suitable
monuments along the route.
He then introduced Colonel James
II. Raley, speaker of the occasion.

icating the stone to the pioneers ana

neers of the two decades-1S40 to
