THE WARM WAVE.

The torrid wave which set In at the
close OF last week was in evidence
throughout lsst night. There was q
light northessterly breeze during the
day, which, however, was by no means
refreshing, while the mercury was
forging iisslf among the nineties.
Towsrd the close of the day the breeze
died out, when conditions became more
sultry, driving people from their houses
to the pavement or doorstsps. Some
hied themselves to the river 'front.' but
the stream was CLASSY, and minus
ripples; hence but little relief was found.
The excursion steamers which landed
here were crowded with Westinghouse
who were endesvoring to escape the heat
of the city, and their numbers were
augmented by Alexandrians who had
sweltsred during the day under the high
temperature. At 50 early hour this
morning 1t was seen that old Sol would
reign supreme again today. The mer-
curry soon began to climb, rendering
conditions akin to those of yesterday.

PROMINENT TaOROUaHFARE.

The alley known as Market Space is a
prominent thorOughfare. People who
have business with the police station or

there, not only for business, but, for q
nome, and he has spent much money In
improving hisprOptry. 1t was the rule
in by.gone days - clean this alley every
market day. Now it is the custom to
clean it once in six weeks and it's con-

No Need of suffering from Rheumatism

No Need of Suffering from Rheumatism
1t isa, mistake to allow, anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain can
always be relieved, and in most cases q
cure effected by applying Chamberlain
Liniment. The relief from pain which
IL fftrds is alone worth many times it,

Even in cases of long standing this lini-
ment should be used on account OF the
relief which it affords. Do not be dis
couraged until you have given 1t trial.

LittIetOn Believes Her Story
Bad Evidence and Will
Make Insanity Plea,
CASE EXPECTED TO GO TO
JURY WITHIN 10 DAYS.
Evelyn VIII Not BE Permitted to Re
peat Her Story on the Stand
Thaw's GOverness Has Testimony
That May Carry Great Weight In
Insanity Defense-BOth Sides
Evading Appeal to the Emotional.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Evelyn Thaw
win not take the stand in the Thaw
case. This decison was announced
today by the defense.
It means that a sudden radical
change of plans has been made by
Littleton. Mrs. Belle Lawrence,
Thaw's governess, will take the stand
in her stead. Mrs. Lawrence has
evidence of weight. 1t is said, which
will go to prove Harry Thaw weak
minded since youth.
Littleton has all along discounted
the value OF Evelyn Thaw's story and
her withdrawal can be looked upon
as a victory of Littleton in his effort
to make straight insanity defense.
According to the best judges 1t is
thought that the Thaw case will
reach the jury in about 10 days. APP
parently there is no disposition on
the part of either side to prolong the
case and the evidence in this trial
will be much more direct.
Evading all appeal to the emotion
al side of the case the defense is
making straight insanity plea
which the state in IT'S rebuttal will
contest
With the battle of experts over the
case will be handed over to the jury
for decision.

End of Financial Drama Be-
gun by an Irish Immigrant
Lad.
CHICAGO BANKER MISAP-
PRoPRIATED BANK FUNDS
Jury Returns Verdict of Guilty on
90 Counts In Indictment-Walsh
Tempered With Books OF Banks to
Hide Worthless Securities from
Bank Examiners-Was Head Of
Two Big Financial Concerns, Editor
and Railroad Promoter.

Chicago, H., Jan. 1S.-Banker
John r. Walsh, former president of
The Chicago National Bank and Home
Savings bank, proprietor of the Chi
cago Chrinocle and dominant factor
in many of the middle western rail-
roads and quarry interests. was found
guilty this MORNING on SO counts in
an indictment charging him with mis-
appropriation of funds of his banks.
The jury reached a verdict after
midnight last night and II was read
in court at 10 o'clock this morning.
It was charged that Walsh used the
funds of his banks to finance his rail-
ways. He gave as security the spec
ulative and often marketless stocks
and bonds of these roads and II was
charged that he had the books of the
banks tampered with to prevent the
bank examiners from discovering the
condition OF the institut 'on's finan-
ces.
The jury was out for 80 hours. The
case consumed two months. The
verdict is based upon SO OF $50 counts
against the banker.
This Is the end of financial drama
OF an Irish lad who came to Ameri-
ca in 1S49 and set out TO build up
an immense fortune and WELD pow
er in the political world.
He became a money king but never
became real dominant political fac
tor. although he sunk many thou
sands Of dollars in the Chicago to
achieve that end
The collapse of the Chicago Ma
tlonal Home Savings and Equitable
banks, all controlled by Walsh, cre-
ated tremendous sensation. The
examiners found that Walsh had
juggled S7,0O0.000 of the depositors'
savings in promoting railroad prop
critics, and other enterprises.
The banker was indicted He
made a desperate, despair'ng fight
with the best attorneys that could be
secured, but the evidence was direct
and overwhelming, although Walsh
on the stand testified that he did all
for what he believed to be the best
interest of the banks. When the GER
dict was announced, he said, "The
fight has just begun"

The appeal OF the water users as
> soc alton at Hermiston for a delay
in the first payment on the land un-
der the Umatilla irrigation project
has been heard by the interior de-
partment and yesterday a message
was received at Hermlston from Sec
retary Garfield OF the department to
delay first payments on the land un-
I'll March /. 1909, where applications
for water rights were made prior to
June Is. 1908.
This will give the settlers on the
project a years grace in the first
payment and will enable them TO
grow one crop on the land under the
project before paying anything on the
purchase price.
The respite of one year was granted
upon special request OF the water
urers' association which forwarded
petitions to Washington asking for
a delay in the first payment in order
to relieve poor settlers Who might go
upon the land early in the spring
and who would have been required TO
make payment before raising a crop.
The decision OF the secretary is re-
ceived with great rejoicing at Her.
miston and will insure rhe early set
tlement of all the '4nd made ready
in the project this year.
The secretary OF the interior
makes a special order. however. that
only those who apply for water prior
TO June Is. 1908. will receive the ben
eft of this delay. as all those who do
not apply before this time will be
required TO make a payment at the
time of making appl cation for wa
ter.
A special committee OF the water
users association consisting OF II G..
Newport, A. C.. Crawford and II.
Yates has been appointed to revise
the bylaws of the association to-cov-
er the order concerning the first
payment.
The first payment on land under
the Umatilla will be Sc per acre on
the purchase price and 81 per acre
for maintenance and unless appllca-
tion for water Is made prior 10 June
10, 1908. this will be due when the
application is filed. Where appiica-
q tion is made prior to that date. the
payment will not be payable until

SENTENCE DELAYED.
Russians Who Were Convicted OF
Treason for signing Manifesto Get
Appeal.

Treason for signing Manifesto Get
Appeal.
ST PetersbNrg, Jan. 1S.-Execution
of the sentence of three months inn
prsonment imposed on each of the
1877 members Of the first douma who
were convicted of treason in signing
the Viborg manifesto. and which was
to have become effective Monday, has
been delayed by an appeal from the
sentence to the senate, the highest
tribunal in Russia. Parliament will
convene on Thursday and the appeal
of the ex-legislators will be among the
first matters considered.
If the sentence is ratified by the
senate, there can be no further argu-
ment of the case and the convicted
men will either have to serve out
their sentences or flee Russia. The
former deputies are now at liberty
without bail as the government con-
s'dered 1t inadvisable to order their
arrest until the case is finally settled.
While the sentence imposed is a mild
one, 1t Will IL sustained. be severe
blow to the constitutlonalists since It
carries with II the loss of all political
rights. Among the distinguished men
who will thus be forced to retire from
political labors are Prince Cholonsky
and Princess Durosoff. the jurists;
Ivan Petrunkevtch. who first for.
mulated the demand on the czar for
constitution; Prince Dmitrl Ska
koffsky, former secretary of the
douma, and Vladimir Naboukoff,
leader Of the constitutional demo-
Gratis. The trial of the accused men
began on December 25 and was con-
cluded on December 81 hast The
prominence of the defendants, II is
believed. led the government to ex-
ercise clemency as it was feared that
severe sentence would head to a pop
ular upheaval.
The committee work OF the third
douma Is now nearly completed and
that body will begin active legislative
work when II reassembles after the
holiday vacation, which Will end next
Thursday. The only legislation passed
at the first session was famine ap-
preparation of $7,5Oo,U0O This has
been devoted to the reller of a dozen
provinces and an additional appro-
priation will be necessary when the
douma meets next week.
