JEROME BEGINS

New York, April 10.-Prosecutor
Jerome began his address as follows
I'VE have been wandering through
the fields of romance for two days.
No matter how fine the orator, we
must not be swayed by what we de-
sire, but must remember what the
safety Of the state and the safety of
us all demand. The important issue
of mans life must not be deter
mined by biblical quotations"
He warned the jurors that neither
tn. personality of Thaw's pleaders
nor himself is at issue. Continuing,
he said: "This is no civil suit. 1t
is not a quarrel between Whites eX-

First, there is the indictment by
the grand jury. This accusation by
the grand jury is just what the law

means Just what words say.
"a design may mean brooding ovel
things for several weeks, or it may
mean deliberation only for a mo-
ment. But 1t does mean taking tim,

Jerome said he would not go int
the law except as far as necessary
He then set forth possible verdicts

MANY False Alarms.


Many False Alarms.
All during the early morning today
various Wild stories were in circula-
ton regarding the number killed In
the wreck and there was much anx-
iety until the real facts became known.
AS the train crew was composed most
ly of Pendleton men, 1t was feared
local men were among the dead, and
the first reports placed Conductor
Coykendall and Brakemen Roesch and
Shull among the dead or injured.
However, the conductor was not hurt
nor was Dean Shull, one of the brake
men, while William Roesch, the other
regular brakeman, was off duty last
night and was at his home on Lewis
street when the wreck occurred.
News Came Slowly.
No news of the terrible wreck
reached here until about two hours
after the trouble occurred. No. 5
was marked to reach here between 4
and o'clock and many passengers
were waiting at the depot. AS the
time rolled on and the train did not
arrive, lHOuBH IL Hdu peeh iePOi'Su 90
having passed Bingham two hours
before, trouble was suspected. A few
minutes later the handcar party ar
rived with the news of the disaster
and the word Wrecked" was written
on the blackboard in the waiting
room.
Passengers Fared Well.
That the shock felt by the passen-
gers in the sleeping cars was not

Property Road Tax.

A recent Interpretation of the special
property road sstax by the county at
torney and the beard Of county COM
missioners is that where the tax is
levied the general fund shall not be
drawn on for the building Of roads.
For instance, in the Genesee section,
where farm lands are taxed high, a
large sum has been collected annually
in the past for the building of roads in
other parts of the country, where ap-
propriations have been made from the
general fund. Under the new inter
probation each district will be obliged
to care for its own roads out of the
special tax.-Genesee news.

ment from the N. P. Company for a

who imported the animal from the east.
Mr.. Arnot placed his case in the hands

The local section foreman reported the
COW as worth SIS. After some dis
cussion the company offered a hundred

'Tis Folly Not to Trust.

The folly of carrying money rather
than to trust in bank vaults is aptly il
lustrated by the mistake OF Henry
Watt and wife, aged people Of Okano-
gan county. With their all-$31OO-
done up in handbag they were doing
Spokane. They kept such close
watch on their hand bag that thieves
soon suspected their money in the re-
ceptacle. While Mrs. Watt was tenn
porarily absent from her room the hand
bag and the $500 was stolen. Spo-
kane's police force was unable to find
the thief.
And such is likely to be the fate Of
many more who withdraw their wealth
from the banks. The country is full
of thieves who are watching depositors
drawing out. 1t is much safer in the
banks than in stockings and handbags.

present exclaimed: 'Stopl Make US

himself and stood before them with a
grace and dignity that all of his rags

beautiful as an artists dream, but l

honor and respect into a cup of wine,
and, like Cleopatra, saw it dissolve,

draught. had children as sweet and
pure as the flowers of spring, and saw
them fade and die under the blighting

LEARN TO 10 SOMETHING.

Every man and woman, regard
less of his or her social position
or financial condition, should
learn to do something and know
how to do some one useful or
practical thing we'll. To know
how to do something we'll is an
asset which may be drawn upon at
any time cf misfortune or tinan-
cial adversely, and none of us CAP
know when or how we may be
overtaken by some change of con-
ditions as may make it necessary
for us to rely upon our own eff
forts. But the man or woman
who knows how to turn his or her
hands to some useful work can al
ways be independent unless over
taken by physical disability or
mental impairment or the rsvages
of disease.
We recently heard a most re-
freshing little story of a couple
who lived in a small city in the
Middle West. The husband lost
his health and was told that he
could hope to prolong his life only
by spending his winters in Florida.
He went to Florida, and his faith
full wife went with him. The ex-
pense of living there soon con-
sumed all their means, and finally
the little home had to be sold
The wife knew how to do some
thing, and when she realized how
hopeless the future was for her
and her unfortunate husband, she
resolved to make practical use of
her knowledge. She knew how to
make bread--good bread-better
bread than can usually be bought
at the average bakery, and, leav-
ing her sick husband in Florida,
she returned to their old home
and went to making bread. She
soon found ready patrons, as will
any woman who knows how to turn
her hand to any useful thing and
do it we'll, and within a short time
she was doing a most profitable
business. She was not only en-.
abled by the practical use of ber
knowledge of breadmaking to sup
port herself and send something
to her sick husband besides, but
gradually her business enlarged
and her profits increased until she
was able to buy back her home
The sick husband finally regained
his health, and today that man
and wife are living in comfortable
circum stances all due to the
wife's knowing how to make good

now TO BE SAVED.

The large auditorium Of Presbyteri-
an church was filled to overlooking last
Sabbath evening. and most profitable
sermon was preached by the pastor, DR..
J. H. Patton. 1t was taken from Acts
18th chapter, 30 verse. After a graph
ic description of Paul, his visit to Phil
lipi, his experience with the girl pos
sessed with evil spirit, the conduct of
the terror-stricken jailor, the speaker
came to the main thought in the SER
mon, "How to be saved" There was,
if possible, more OF earnestness in his
manner, and beauty in the sermon,
than is usual He said, there is only
one way to be saved and that is the
faith way, and only one name and that
is Christ's. We must believe that he
has doEe work for us which we can
not do for ourselves; that He has suf-
fered and died for us, thus paying the
penalty of sin which we could not pay
At the close, he pressed home the ques-
tion Of an immediate decision for
Christ. There we're two persons who
stood up in the great audience and pro-
iesed their loyalty to Him. A number
made request for prayer. The singing,
under direction of Mrs. Settle, was
grand ard inspiring. There is almost
a revival fervor about these special SER
vices, and the good they will accom-
pllsh only eternity can tell. Services
