A Quick Recovery.

Not unlike the miracles perforemd
in the land of Galilee was the effect
of the decision that the new "oredit'
system for conyicts was retroactive in
effect upon Charles Macarthur,
colored, who was serving a hve-year
sentence for robbery, from Jospehine
County. Macarthur was committed
October 10, 1908, and, under the old
system Of computing credit time,
would have had to serve at least
another year. Computed under the
new law, which allows convits two
months credit for each year of his
term for good behavior, McArthur's
term expired Friday. He has been on
the sick list for several months and
was under treatment in the prison
hospital, unable to get around with
out the aid OF orutches
Friday morning, however, when
Macarthur was hobbling about the
ward upon his crutches. he was in
formed that his time was up, and the
effect was electrical.
His erstwhile solemn and woebegone
countenance beamed with the radiance
OF MONDAY sun, he threw aside
his crutcbes and lost no time In pack
ing his belongings and putting in an
appearance at the front Office to secure
his discharge. Although the lunch
hour was at hand he did not tarry
long enough 70 psrtake of a free
parting meal, bat caught the first
trolley car for the city. Judge
Galloway's decision had accomplished
more in the healing of McArthur's
bodily ailments in Eve minutes than
all Of Dr. Shaw's apotheoary oint-
ments in as many months.

BASE BALL NOTES

The ball games ..of the 4th and oth'
between the Medford and A. A. y.
teams were two Of the most one-sided
games played on the local diamond
this season and were disappointment
to the large crowds who witnessed
them, as these were being looked for
ward to as the best games OF the
season. The game of the 4th was
probably the most Disappointing to
the Grants Pass people as the Local
team were certainly off aud didn't
play the game that they generally
put up, and when the clouds OF
battle bad cleared away 1t was very
evident that they were badly
skinned, the score standing II to
4 in Medford's S favor. The game Of
the 9Th was just little more one
sided than the one of the 4th but 1t
was MedfOrd's turn to get good
wolloping, this time and they GER
tainly got theirs, as the Grants Pass
boys were determined to give them a
dose of the same stuff that wai handed
to them the day before and Medford
decided that they we're not so many
after all. The score was worse this
time in favor of Grants Pass-14 to l..
Medtord didn t get their one little run
till the last of the 9th, after two men
were down so it is plain to be seen
how near it came to being a shut-out
for them.
The same teams have their last
game of the season at Medford this
next Sunday and it is to be hoped that
they do little better this time and
both play ball at the same time.
Quite a number of the Grants Pass
fans are planning to go to Medford
to see this game.
The game at Ashland last Sunday
between the A. A. @. and Ashland
teams was a merry. .go-round for
Grants Pass, there being nothing to
it, the score being s TO in favor of
Grants Pass. The Ashland boys are
now singing that old song that our
great grandfsthers used to sing, "if 1t
wasn't for that pitcher we could skin
them" but nevertheless that pitch.

the eight errors which are marked up
against them, while the Grants Pass
boys side Of the score book shows that

DOUBLE MURDER ON FARM NEGRO HELD FOR CRIME Former Employe Murders When Caught Robbing
 The House.

Camden, N. J., Aug. 2o.-Mrs. Fran ces Horner, aged 67, wife of Edward Horner, farmer living near Merchant ville and Mrs Victoria Napoli, a ser want, were killed to-day in their home, it is charged, by Charles Gibson, ne- gro who was formerly employed on the farm. The assassin first set fire to the Hcrner barn to attract the attention of the farmers household and thus en- ahled him to rob the place with free dom, but while Horner and Mrs. Ma polls husband were trying to rescue some of the horses, Mrs. Horner and her servant came upon the negro in the act of robbing the house.
 The robber attacked the women with an axe and practically hacked them to pieces. Mrs. Horner's head was severed and Mrs. Napoli's head was crushed in and her body was coV- cred with gashes.
 | H6rner and others who were at the fire returned to the house to find the body of Mrs. Horner lying in pool of blood and Mrs. Napoli' still alive, lying near by, covered with blood. She died without regaining consciousness short fly after being admitted to hospital in this city. An investigation showed that two gold watches and a sum of money had been taken from the house and the police located the watches in a pawn shop in Philadelphia, where they had been pledged by negro. The pawnbroker, according to the po- lice, identified Gibson as the man that pawned the watches and he was arr rested Tickets for the watches were found in his possession.
 stephen Dorsey, another negro, who was with Gibson, when, it is alleged, he pawned the watches was also ar lrested, though the police do not be- licve he had anything to do with the murder. Gibson, who was discharged by Horner some time ago. applied for work at the farm yesterday and was tcld he could sleep In the barn and have work in the morning. Nothing further was seen of Gibson until early this morning when farmers that were running to the fire declare that they saw the negro fleeing from the Hor- ner home. When taken into custody Gibson refused to make any statement regarding the murder and his supposed connection with it, but when one oi the watches recovered from the pawr shop and which was marked with tho name "Horner" was shown to him ant he was asked whether he knew tn, owner, he is said to have replied
 "Yes, I am sorry for him.

 Another suggestion which created considerable discussion among the members was to the effect that at the beginning of each school term, three times q year, the inspectors should make an examination of every pupil in the schools in the district.

The objection was made that this would be practically impossible on account of the number of children, and 1t was point ed out that such work would mean about 1000 pupils to each doctor three times Il year. The sentiment of tho board was plainly that to do so would be going beyond the limits which the board of health should set for itself in caring for the children in school The rules were laid on the table until another meeting lO dllUW tue Culfl- plaints to come up for action
 In regard to the complaint which was made against the stable of J. L.

CUBA UNsANITARY
Treaty Conditions Have Not Been
 Lived Up to.

Washington, Aug. 2O-The war de- partment made public to-day long cabled report from Gov. Magoon of Cuba which startled the medical off,
 cers, showing as it did that in the short period since the withdrawal of the American army of pacihcation there had been woeful neglect of sanitary precautions and an almost complete disregard of the treaty obligations un- der which the Palma government was placed to keep the island clean ana healthful, so that 1t should no longer be source of danger and infection to the United States and other countries. The governors report also discloses the fact that the fever in this last out break has not been confined to the hospital corps men, but has extended to other soldiers. He also indicates that the evil sanitary conditions can not be cured this year in spite of the most vigorous efforts on the part of the American authorities, in which it appears they received little support from the native Cuban physicians.

 Some of the iron holders are satis- fled with their present wage, which in, few cases is as high as $3.25 0 day. But these are exceptional cases, and one of the national officers point ed out last night that men with the skill of these men could get $4 and over in other places He said that In { Ansonia and Derby, two cities within few miles of here, much better pay is given.
 The committee of strikers, of which John Dunn is chairman. will be at Trades Council hall this morning to give instructions to the iron moulders who are out and to make up a list of those who are to get benefits during the strike, The union is well prepar- ed financially to hold out a long time.
 The withdrawal of the iron mould CTS from their work at the McLagon company will tie up business consid- erabie unless the places of the strikers are filled immediately The finishing department of the foundry can com plete the work started by the iron moulders in few days and then the strY1sers say, there will be nothing left for them to do The McLagon com pany supplies the Winchester Repeat ing Arms company with considerable of the rough material for their ma chimes and this work will be held up.
