He Ordered One.

This letter is an order sent by
Kansas man to a bicycle COM
pany.
DEAR sIRRz-I live on mi
farm near Hamilton, Kan, am
81 years old and just a little
sporta. My nefew in Indiana
bot hisselt new biscile and sent
me his old one bi frate. and i've
learned to ride sumo. Its a pile
of fun, but mi biscle jolts consid-
erable. A feller cum along yes
terday with a biscile that had
holler injun robber tires stuffed
with wind. He let me try hissen
and mi, it run like a kushin
He told me you sell injun robber
just the same as hissen. How
much will it be to fix mine up
like hissen? Mine is ali iron
wheels. Do you punch the
hollow hole through the injun
robber or will l have to do it my
self? How do you stick the ends
together after you got it done?
If your injun robber is already
holler, will itcome any cheaper
empty? I can set all the wind I
want out here in Kansas free.
EBERNEEZER JENSON.
P. Slow much do you
charge for the doc dad you stuff
the wind into the Tobber with,
and where do you start?

"Julius Caesar" Dead.

Julius Caesar, a we'll known
colored man, was found dead at
noon, July 4th, underneath the
Alder street dock in Portland.
How long he had been dead
when the body was discovered is
a matter of uncertainty. When
first discovered he was thought
to have been sleeping. The

AGAINST HER BROTHER. =
Sister Testifies i'm Mitchell Trial
Crowds in Attendance.

A Seattle dispatch gives the
following about the trial of
George Mitchell, now in progress
at Seattle:
Holy Rollerism, the leperous
cult conceived and expounded by
Edmund Crefheld, was laid bare
before court and jury during the
days proceeding in the Mitchell
Creheld murder trial today. All
the unnatural and hideous phases
OF the sensuous creed were ex-
pounded as tending to mitigate
young George Mitchell's offense
against the law when he shot
down the man who had ruined
several homes and a score of
lives under the cloak of religion.
The tragedy was first describ-
ed by S. M. Shipley, counsel
for the prisoner, in his opening
statement for the defense. To
the 1ayman, the suspicion could
not at times be avoided that Mr..
Shipley, out of zeal for his client,
was making more lurid the pig
ments with which he painted the
unpleasant picture.
Later when 0. V. Hurt, of
Corvallis, Oregon, took the wit
ness stand, the relentless truth of
what the attorney had said was
driven home to jury and specta-
tors. Those in the court room
who thought they knew human
nature were doomed to learn that
the love of a mother for her chill
dren is not always supreme; that
a daughters affection for her
father may be changed to scorn
and dislike when touched by the
venomous influence of a reptile
like Crefield; that sister may
come to despise the brother who
risks his life for her honor; that
women oe mature years may for
get their devotion to their homes
and may leave off their acquain-
tance with modesty, decency,
humanity and other traits of the
normal human being.
Mr.. Hurts story, as told from
the witness stand in Judge Fra
ter's court today, was that of the
running of his. own life. the
breaking up of his own home
and the scattering of a one
time happy, contented family.
His voice choked with emotion
as he told it. Often his power
of speech would te lost in food
of emotion. The jury was Wis.,
IDLY affected by the recital of
Hurts domestic wrongs.
Nor were the proofs of Cref-
fields strange power left to the
verbal testimony Of the witness.
The court had a practical demon
stration of it early in the after
noon. when Mrs. Burgess E.
Starr, the married sister of the
young defendant, absolutely re-
fused to come into court, as Or
dered, to testify in her brothers
behalf. Mitchell's attorney de-
manded that she be compelled tC
appear, and Judge Frater issued
a bench warrant and detailed a
deputy sheriff to escort her to the
witness stand. When confront
ed by the officer the woman OBJ
jected to leaving her room at the
Stevens hotel. She offered no
resistance, however, when he in
sisted.
Her testimony, when she did |
take the stand, was given in a |
hesitating and reluctant manner,
as if she begrudged her brother
and protector any advantage she
might give him in the battle for |
life.
Esther Mitchell, the younger
sister, was also on the stand.
She, too, showed no inclination
to help her brother. Her an
swers to questions were brief and
of little or no direct consequence.

The present Mrs. Pinkham has for

ills of her sex ; she has consulted with

Dear Mrs. Pinkham

trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that l had a tumor. l did not want to
submit to ar operation, so wrote YOU for
advice. I received your letter and did as
you told me, and to-day I am completely

The testimonials which we are cor.

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.

STEEL CASES FOR BEER.
More Convenient and Durable and
Eventually Cheaper Than Wood.

Eventually Cheaper Than Wood.
Steel packages are supplementing
the ordinary wooden boxes used for
transporting beer in bottles" said Ru-
dolph Schmidt of Cleveland. They are
not only more convenient and durable.
but also considerably cheaper in the
long run. l have already referred to
their durability, which is beyond any
question, but being smaller and light
er than the ordinary wood container,
they are a great saving to large ship
ping brewers, who have not been slow
to e the many advantages held out
by this new invention. Taking up
less room for an equal number of bot
ties, more packages can be packed into
a freight car, making an additional
saving in icing charges Of refrigerator
cars possible. These new containers
have been on the market only about
two years, but in that short time they
have convinced leading brewers OF
their practical value and are being
fast adopted by these conservative
business men."-Milwaukee Sentinel.
