in San Francisco soon after the earth,

OF N. Murakata. a Japanese banker,
but according to their own confes-
sions, they were guilty. Of two other
murders and several assaults and rob.
berries Siemscn, who was a native Of
Hawaii, had long criminal record
and once served a term in San Qucn-
Tin for grand larceny. Dabner was a
mere boy from the interior OF the
state. and a fruitless effort was made
TO secure the commitation OF his SEN
tence to life imprisonment on account
OF his previous good character
On May 10, 1906 the two men en-
tered the hardware store OF +. +. Gil
Ion. forced him to give them $3S and
escaped though the alarm was at once
given They held up c, Leland on the
night OF July II Of the same year at
street corner and robbed him OF
$3.50 An innocent man was con
victcd of having committed this crime
and sent to San Quentin for fifty
years. While he was serving his SEN
tence the real robbers confessed and
he was pardoned J. +. Dockwcller,
a civil engineer, was beaten and his
money taken by Siemsen and Dab
ner on August IS. This time there
was third man with them who was
never captured Two days later they
walked into the shoe store OF j. PITT
ner, beat him to death with a window
weight and robbed his till VIM,
Friede, clothing merchant, was beat
en- by them on Sept. IA, and his
store robbed. At noon on October
3rd Siemsen and Dabner entered the
Kimmon Ginko, a Japanese bank OF
which NJ. Murakata was manager
and A. Sasaki, assistant manager The
former was beaten to death and Sasa
Xxi SO seriously injured that his reason
was not restored for several months
The men secured $500 on this oc-
casion. A month later they walked
into the jewelry store of Henry Beh-
rand and hit him upon the head with
"a fish plate. The blow failed to rem !
der him unconscious and he grappled
with Dabner, at the same time calling
for help. Dabner was taken into
custody and Bertrand later was given
the award Of $500 offered for the
capture Of either Of the criminals
whose deeds terriorized the commun-
ity, Dabner broke down and confes
sed duplicating Siemsen, who was ar
rested in his room, He also confes-
sed, eorroborating the story Of his as
,sociate in crime.

In the two fast rounds Kelly out
fought his man from the tap of the
gong to the end Of the round, Ket-
chell came up quickly in the third
round and Immediately laced out
with his left which he placed, twice
in succession on the Chicago mans
jaw. Before the semi-dazen Italian
had chance to catch himself, Ket-
chell shifted his left to his jaw and
Kelly toppled over as thought struck

The Sun.diaPS Motto.
salvation

If you want your life to run
without friction, adopt the sun
diaPs motto: Il record none but
hours of sunshine.
What a great thing it would be
il we could only learn that the
art of wiping out of our memo
rieS forever everything that is
unpleasant, everything which
brings up bitter memories and
unfortunate associations and de-
pressing, discOuraging sugges-
tions, would double and quadru-
pie our happiness and power.
If we could only keep the mind
filled with beautiful thoughts,
thoughts which uplift and en-
courage, the efficiency of our
lives would be multiplied many,
many times.
No mind can do good work
when clOuded with unhappy
thoughts. The mental sky must
be Clear or there can be no en-
thusiasm, no brightness, clear
ness, or efficiency in our menta
work.
If you would do the maximum
of which you are capable, keeI
the mind filled with sunshine
with beauty and truth, witt
cheerful, uplifting thoughts
Bury everything that makes you
unhappy and discordant, every
thing that cramps your freedom
that worries you, before it buries
you.
Man was made to express
beauty, truth, love, and happi
ness; Wilderness, not halfness
completeness, not incomplete
ness.
The mental temple was no
given US for the storing of loy
base, mean things. 1t was in
tended for the abode of the gods
for the treasuring of high pun
poses, grand aims, noble aspirs

Boost for Bob WiCkTffe.

We had the pleasure of meet
ing Hon. Robert G. Wicklitfe,
candidate for congress in the
sixth congressional district, and
he seems to be the right man for
the place. In the event that our
good friend, r. n. Sims Of Don
jacksonville, is not a candidate,
we sincerely trust that Wicklitfe
will be the choice of the people of
the neighboring district. We
only regret that we can not get
out and give Bob Wickliffe our
vote, so that we could have three
Bobs in congress. Bob Wickliffe
and Bob Broussard would indeed
make a good team in congress,
Bob Davey could pull with them
to our advantage. Wickliffe was
covering the field last week and
informed US that things looked
good. OF course we are not in
that district and it is none of oul
business who is elected; still We
are in the state of Louisiana and
we might be pardoned for being
interested in other districts. :

Girls don't cheaper yourself
by allowing yourself to be every
body's plaything. 1t is all right
for YOU to have a fellow" and
gohere and there with him, but
don't be everybody's girl, just
because he asks you to be, and
then imagine you will not cheap
en- yourself in the eyes of every
body, especially the young men.
It's a laudable ambition for a
girl to have a fellow and she
is entitled to the best if she is
the right kind of a girl. But it
makes no difference how really
good she is, she loses the re
spect of everybody when she
gets 50 boy struck that she can
not walk down the street with
out stopping to CAB with every
lobster she happens to meet
When she permits such famili
arity and cultivates it, she loses
her dignity, and that is one O
the rudiments of being a lady
The average young man has nj
genuine respect for the girl VIII
lis familiar with all the boys O
her acquaintance, and she is TIL
last girl in the world he Woul'
think of marrying. -Commercia

Importance of Forests.

The paramount question IN
every country in regulating ram
fall and the prevention OF over
flows of rivers is that of forests
It is an absolute principle no.
forests no regulated rivers. The
forests regulate the distribution
of water. Without forests the
rainfall dashes in forests car
rying the soil, gashing the earth,
devastating the fields; then with
little water until another flood
recurrence. In France the river
Loire by the loss of forests has
been entirely transformed. IL
used to be one of the best water
WAYS, but it is now the river
whose foundations are most de-
structive. TO make the river
! ORE once more navlgable, &c
protect the agricultural inter
ests, to save and make perma
nent wealth for France, the cOun
try is being reforested and the
Loire will be nayigable once
more from ROanne to the sea.
We must work together tt
turn to the best possible use TIM
natural resources of our country
those resources which the rash
ness of the isolated individual viii
certainly destroy if the govern
ment does not interfere in tn
interests of the many. The i'm
portance of a general plan, Whicl
will coordinate the effort mad
throughout the country, so tina
the result will be a harmonlou
whole, and that prOsperit
reaches every part of this lane
is proportionately great. Th
principles which govern tn
whole question must be familia
to all men, and the boys-tf
coming citizen. If the Missi'
sippi is the Father of Waters,
the forest is the father of the Mi
sissippi. AS is with the Missi
sippi so of all rivers --Dc'tro
the forests, ruin the river
RefOrestatiOn is the only hope
salvation.

How Il Looks to Thomas.

honest and fair, as well as aole,

interview by the Shreveport
Caucasian, in which he gives
resume of the work of the recent
session. We should like to give
the interview in full did space
permit, but the paragraphs quot
ed below are sufficient to sho"
that he is not a blind partisan by
any manner of means. When II
is remembered that he was one
of the supporters of Sanders IN
the late campaign, his words are
the more significant. How his
fellow-partisans must sigh over
this "erring brother!' Others
will admire his honesty as we DO

TYPHOID IN LUMBER CAMPS.
Palmer Lumber Company's Men on
Looking Glass Are Stricken.

a typhoid fever epidemic has brok-
en- out in the George Palmer lumber
camps on the Looking Glass, says the
La Grande Observer. Several VIC
Tins Of the disease are now in the
Grande Ronde hospital, and though
not critically III, trey have such at
tacks of the epidemic that they are
seriously i'll.
The disease is not present at the
camps in its most virulent form, but It
is sufficient to deem a trip Of Doctor
Bacon to the camps necessary. The
doctor went to the camps this morn
ing, intending to combine business
with pleasure, and while fishing in
that section of the country he will
also look into the camps sickness.
Every effort is being made by the
company to stamp out the trouble be-
fore It gets too strong hold on the
men working there. In fact 1t is al
ready under control and It is not be-
lieved there will be additional cases.

VALUABLE SERUM FROM TAIL Of PIC

| Vaccination with this virus does not
produce absolute immunity, but the
percentage is so high that II comes
nearly being perfect. The estimate Of
immunity Is 81 per cent. Among hogs
not immunlzed the death rate from
the disease Is about rs per cent Of
every drove exposed to infection.
More Blood I'm Pigs Tail.
After the discovery Of the serum
the great question was as to how 1t
could be procured at a cost small
enough to warrant its general use
During the experiments 1t was all
right to sacrifice a whole animal
But after the experimental stage was
passed It was obvious that it would
make the remedy almost as expensive
as the disease. Until the tail was
though Of the problem of how to get
blood Of an immune looked as great
as the original question. The vital Or
gans and arteries OF the hog lie deep.
To cut down TO them means death to
the animal.
The tail was tried as last resort.
Nobody thought Of 1t at first, for the
reason that as rule there are few
blood vessels in the tail of an animal;
so salvation did not appear to lie in
that direction. But the tail Of pig
differs from the caudal appendage Of
other animals. 1t has a full share OF
veins and arteries. The first trial
convinced the scientists that the tail
will bleed. and bleed plentifuly, so
the problem of a source Of supply
was easily solved
The blood from one immune animal
will supply serum for about 200 pork
ers. Four teaspoonfuls constitute
dose, II not mixed with the blood OF
a hog that has cholera. II that mix
ture can be made a smaller quantity
will do. The mixing is done inside
the hog without apparent discomfit-
ure to him, as soon as the serum in
jected into one side, comes into con-
tact with the infected blood forced
into the other. What happens inside
is only a matter OF conjecture.
