Muraersrs who Have Pleaded for Ex
ssuglen 81 Sentence.

The case Of the condemned muir
derer. who the other day practically
sentenced himself by refusing TO sign
a petition for a reprieve. IS not so
rare as maay people imagine.
One famous parallel instance was
that Of Rev Mr.. Hachman, who shot
an actress. Miss Reay, as she was
leaving the stage door of Convent
Garden theater. and who, although
actually offered a cummutation, pre-
ferred to die upon the gallows in the
expiation Of his crime
Only a few weeks back, again, the
rerlin papers ehronlcled the case Of
a wealthy land owner, who. having
shot a servant in a fit Of passion, tried
him, with himself as judge, and sem
fenced himself to ten years solitary
confinement in one Of his own private
dungeons in his own medieval castle
in the heart Of the Black Forest.
Nine years and some odd months Of
this punishment he actually endured,
his house steward doing him out daily
a meager ration of coarse prison fare.
Unluclily for him, however, the au-
thorities got to hear of the affair and
he was hailed before the ordinary tri-
bunal to await his trial in due course.
Another extraordinary case also,
curiously enough. Of German origin,
was that Of a sergeant major Of an in
fantry regiment stationed in Bremen,
who few weeks back sentenced him
self to be shot by squad Of his own
men. The soldiers thought they we're
iring blank, but the self-condemned
man had surreptitiously removed the
harmless cartridges and substituted
ball ammunition, so that at his own
+ word Of command, Fire, ne fell dead
} Finally, it may be mentioned that
> John Lee, the Babbacombe murderer
who survived three separate attempts
. to hang him owing to some defect Il
! the machinery Of the drop, insisted
/ vehemently that his sentence mus
be carried out according to law"
Q This is, of course, quite contrary +
/ the generally received opinion regard
g ing the case. But the writer was rs
d Gently assured Of its correctness b
the convict's own mother, and her a
n surance is borne out by Rev John Fl
K kin, who was chaplain Of Exeter ga'
y at the time.
u Said this gentleman the other day
''When the attempt to execute hi
At (Lee) failed, he called out again an

8 be postponed, Lee exclaimed, 'AreI

One OF the ablest physicians in New
York was in financial straits in his
young days, and looked long and hand
for a Job. Finally he was engaged
in small shop in Cherry street, in the
midst Of sailors boarding houses "and
sich.u One night q woman asked for
an ounce of some deadly poison.
what are you going to do with it?"
said the young pharmacist. She re-
piled quickly: 4 am going to drink

tones: 'sYa, val ! got you that timel

Richard Harding Davis was talking
in New York about the life Of a re-
porter.
"A hard life it is said he. 1T is
life that taxes all tho energies.
I don't care how great a genius a
man might be, how resourceful. how
persevering, how alert, all these quail.

man turned reporter and on many a
good story he would still fall down
at that.

Is stupid type of man that likes
10 snub them. Such man, a bank
president, once tried to snub my
friend Jimmy Patterson.
"The bank had gone up through q
defalcation, and Jimmy went to In
terview its head But its head was
crusty. He refused TO be interviewed
He took Jimmy by the arm and lee
him toward the door.

Governor Chamberlain Address

Governor Geo. Chamberlain S
speech at the court house grounds
Thursday afternoon at the big
All-Benton fair was of a practical
nature and apporopriates to the
occasion. 1t was the fret time
that manv of those in the la-gd
audience had ever seen or heard
the governor and the occasion
was one long to be remen bered
by them.
In his reference to the public
schools the governor won hearty
applause for insiting that they be
not employed entirely to fit boys
and girls for the so-caller
higher education, but more for
practical affairs of life, such as
agriculture, horticulture, domes-
tic science, etc. If more boys
learned grating trees there
would be less grating of fees.
1t more girls learned to cook
there would be fewer divorce
Suiis filed.

is that of excessive representa-
ton in congress and hence in the
electoral college of those states
which have disfranchised the
negro yet count him present
when it comes to fixing their rep
resentation in congress. Here
are several wrongs of National
Importance. A plain provision
of the federal constitution is
practically annulled. This gives
one section of the country a
greater representation in the
national congress than it is law
fully entitled to, and it inures to
the advantage of one political
party.
Nothing has been done to
remedy these wrongs. 1t is not
probable anything will be done.
But unless the South shows a
decided purpose to divide on
nationalissues between the sever
al parties, as in the North the
time will come when something
must be done to extirpate these
wrongs.

AN EQUAL VOICE.

Secretary Taft in a recent
speech to a southern audience
reminded republicans that al
though their state always went
democratic, by decisive major
titles, at presidential elections,
they had as great strength, or as
many votes in the National Re-
publican Convention as those
states which gave equally as de-
clsive republican majorites.
This has been the case for
many years. 1t is not just to
the republicans of those states
who make the election of a re-
publican president possible that
other states which contribute
nothing to party success have
as much to say concerning the
selection of candidates and the
PRONUNCIATION of party purposes.
1t has been suggested that the
delegates to the National conven-
ton from each state should be in
the ratio that its vote bears to
the republican vote of all the
states. Nothing has been done,
and as it is merly a party ques-
ton it is of comparatively little
moment.
A far more important matter

wrongs

Senator Fulton's speech Fri
day, at the court house was in
his best vein. He said nothing
showing himself to be out of har-
mony with the administration or
with the purpose Of the party.
Upon several questions which
have not yet come up for party
acton he gave such expression of
personal opinion as entities him
to a place with the most advanc-
ed thinkers on these subjects.

Nal. and Female ouineas.

Authorities on guinea raising claim
that it is always best, no matter no"
small a flock you may have, TO have
two or more males running with the
hens. As a rule one COCK guinea Is
enough for every four hens, but some
times the birds will pair. Some breed
ers claim that it is best to breed them
In pairs. There is only one absolutely
certain way of telling the male from
the female and that is by the call or
crv. The female has peculiar call
which is never uttered by the male and
resembles "Buckwheat' or Come
Back" The call of the male is shrilI.

PUBLIC SPIRIT.

There is an old adage that
"uoney makes the mare GO"
Th.s is taken to mean that any
conceivable enterprise can be
made a success provided there is
enough money backing it.
Money is a power. Many most
desirable enterprises could never
be carried to ultimate success
without the aid of money and
o1tentimes the expenditure Of
large sums of it. Large num-
bers of men, indeed, seem to be-
lieve that nothing worth while
may be accomplished by any
other means than the application
of money and plenty of it. Such
men have lost sight of the fact
there is something more poten-
tial than money; something, too,
which never fails to accomplish
whatever it undertakes. 1t has
the happy faculty of making
''the mare go'' to good purpose
even though large sums of money
are not available.
This power is known as public
spirit, or the manifestation of
life, activity and energy making
for common use and public bene-
fit. Like charity, this spirit
may begin its activity at home.
A man having it will have his
buildings, his farm, his fences,
and everything pertaining to his
domicil neat, clean and attract
tive. This done he sees some
thing he can easily do not only
for his own benefit but for that
OF the public at large. 1t may
be only mending a near by piece
Of bad road. Whatever it is he
goes at it heartily and cheerily,
and does it. There is nothing
that can be done for the common
good which he does not stand
ready to help along.
This public spirit resembles
the smallpox in that it is exceed
jngly contagious. Who h:s not
seen whole neighborhoods, trans
formed because the spirit had
seized upon one man and set
him to work?
This spirit makes for economy,
for it invariably accomplishes
more, in shorter time and with
less expenditure of money than
can be compassed without it. For
tunate is the community which
has one or two public spirited citi-
zens dwelling in it. Most fortu-
nate that community in which all
it's members are public spirited
citizens.
Corvallis is waking up and
moving forward, but her citizens
some of them at least should
exhibit yet more of that admira-
bic quality of good citizenship
known among men as public
spirit.
