MERCHANT ASSAULTED AND
ROBBED.
n. {. krenek of Morris Furniture
Company Relieved Of $3.50 by
Negroes.

Company Relieved of $3.50 by
Negroes.
Assaulted with blows and knife,
thrown from his wagon, checked and
relieved of a large sum of money, II.
Il Krenek of the firm of Morris &
Company, furniture dealers on Main
street, was the victim of one of the
boldest highway robberies Tuesday
night between and 8 O'Clock ever
committed in Bryan.
Three negroes were concerned in
the hold-up, which occurred on the
street almonst directly opposite the
CentralI. G. G. N. interlocking tower.
and so far have eluded arrest. al.
though steps to secure their appre-
hension have been so thorough and
prompt that the eventual capture of
one or all is felt to be certain.
Krenek, who came to Bryan from
Houston two weeks ago, left the store
shortly after o'clock after conclud-
ing collections, which, together with
the evenings sales, aggregated 1885,
mostly in currency, and was contained,
outside of small change, in leather
wallet. Driving carelessly along he
was suddenly confronted by three
grown negro men, two of whom at
tackled him simultaneously, and be-
fore he could sound an alarm, was
thrown to the ground, almost stran-
gled, and the money taken. DaZed
and confused he struggled TO his feet
in time to see his assailants making
off along the railroad track A knife
blow during the struggle severed Mr..
krenek's suspenders, penetrated his
clothing and slightly cut the flesh just
below the left shoulder.
The outrage was reported and as
soon as possible Sheriff Nall and Con
stable Baker began an investigation
The search led the latter to the l. G.
G. n. depot and here he took in Gus
tody on suspicion Oran Matthews, a
negro character about town. The
mans clothing was searched, but
nothing found, and while Mr.. Baker
was in a STOPPING posture peering be
reath a car, a dirk knife, which he
had in some manner concealed, was
dropped to the ground or thrown at
the officer and Matthews leaped away.
Constable Baker pursued for a short
distance, firing three shots at the flee
ing man, but so far as could be learn
CO. without effect.
Yesterday morning ffty-fve cents
OF the stolen money was found in the
wagon.

ARGUMENT AGAINST
STATEMENT NO.


n. NJ. Newport. Linn County Editor
Who Thinks the People Did Not
Understand What They Voted
For.
We believe we voice the sentiment
OF the people generally when We say
that I'm the main the people approve
the direct primary laws OF Oregon,
or some similar law which takes the
nomination OF candidates out OF the
hands OF the professional politicians.
And yet there are many features OF
the Oregon law which are both cum
bersome and expensive and distaste'
ful TO many men, and the result is
often the best men and those quail
ned for ONCE will not allow their
names to be used. IL may be set
down as a fact that the undesirable
features which had crept into tho
old convention system were the re-
suit, not so much the fault OF the
system as Il was the carelessness of
the people in taking little or no In
terest IN political matters and allow
ing few persons TO run things.
just how Statement No crept
into the primary law In the shape Il
did few seem to understand. We be-
lieve the mass of the people az the
time II was made a law little under
stood H. The mass OF the oregon
people believe the matter OF electing
Of the United States senators should
be as far removed from the legisla-
ture as possible. aud they have
abundant reasons for such desire. as
evidenced by only too many examples
In Oregon election OF senators. We
believe that a majority Of the people
thought the senatorial feature OF the
primary law was simply that the Re
publieans would put mp as many
candidates as they desired. or as
many men as desired 20 make the
race would ask for the support OF
their party az the primary election.
and the Democrats would do like
wise The Republican getting the
highest namber of votes OF his party
az che primary election would go be-
fore the Legislature as the endorsed
candidate OF his party expressed az
general primary election. and that
the Republican members would be in
duty bound In compliance with the
expressed wish OF hls party To vote
for him. The same would be true
with the Democrats. The members
lof that party IN the legislature
would support for election as sena-
tor the man OF their party who al
the primary election had received
the popular endorsement OF his par
ty The people never understood
when they were enaeting the primary
Law that a Republican legislature

as well be set down nov as a fact
that they viii never do q, No one

oregon's death rate during 1907
was approximately nine In every
1000 inhabitants, according TO Dr.
Il. c, Ycnney, secretary of the state
board OF health. In his annual re-
port. which has recently been com
piled. says a Portland paper.
This low rate Is looked upon as n
remarkable showing, and II Is be-
lieved that II Is not excelled by any
other state in the nnlon.
To certain extent the figures In
his report are incomplete. for the
reason that a number of the ooun-
ties send no report OF their vital
statistics to the state board OF health.
As a basis for his figures he has
taken the carefully prepared statis-
tics OF II OF the most populous
counties OF the state from which
regular monthly health reports are
received. and in which the death rate
would naturally be larger than In
less densely populated counties.
The state has been usually free
OF infectious disease during the past
year.
The only eontaglon was IN Grant
eoanty. where they had i2i cases OF
smallpox. due largely 20 the county
improperly handling the situation.
Altogether there were Sl7 cases OF
this disease IN the state. He said
that this Is the most easily controlled
contagious disease and that through
vaccination and quarantine IL may be
eliminated. lie classes the failure
OF the Grant county ofieials in pre-
venting the disease to spread as
gross negligence.
one OF every 10 deaths In the
state was due to tuberculosis, a total
of f45. OF these 55S cases OF ty-
phoid fever reported. i03 deaths re-
suited. There were 572 cases of
diphtheria. with SO deaths: 4O6 cases
OF scarlet fever with iS deaths, and
1919 OF measles with &c deaths.
An inspection OF the state insti-
tutions during the year by the board
found all except the state insane asy-
lum and the Weston normal school
In good sanitary condition. In re-
gard to the former. he deplores the
lack OF good water supply and Of
separate wards where patients with
tuberculosis may be separated from
those not infected with the disease.
lie makes the announcement that go
per cent OF the deaths az the asylum
are due 20 tuberculosis. and In many
Instances the disease Is contracted
after the patient arrives az the asy-
lum. The Weston normal the board
found to be so oveFeroWded. poorly
ventilated ana lighted and seriously
In need OF general renovation.
Municipal ownership OF water sys-
tens Is urged IN the report. as Il be-
lieves this 60 be the ultimate solR-
ton OF the pure water problem.
From statistics the board has agreed |
hat municipal ownership IN the grea,
majority of cases. furnishes a better
and more adequate supply than
'hrngh private sources.
In The report Il was urged that
special care should be given TO school
sanitation In order 10 prevent the
spread Of disease among school chill
