COTTAGE GROVE, Ore, March
2.-While the identity of the man
who was found dead in the city
park with his throat cut has been
learned, the manner in which he
met death is still unsolved. The
authorities thing 1t is a case of
suicide.
The body has been identified as
that of Jack MORLEY, whose home
was In Guthrie, Oklahoma, where
he was prominent politically and
where a widow and five children
survive him.
Little is known here about
MORLEY. except that he is said to
have left Guthrie after quarreling
with his wife and deciding her his
farm and giving her considerable
money. Parties who knew him
slightly say he served as thief
clerk of the senate In Oklahoma.

A few minutes later the startled
guests heard shot. They rushed
out to find Hartin dying, uncon-

give any clew. He had locked the
door of one coop. His body was
found in the other. Did he sur
prise a thief there?
Mike Alderman, pawnhroker,
said that Hartfn was the man who
had come to his shop at $3.50 the
afternoon before to buy the re-
volver which was found in the
coop. He described him as hav-
ing q black mustach, and said that
he wore black overcoat with a
fur collar.
Hartin's friends insist that the
dead man was wearing a gray
coat with velvet collar, and that
| he had red mustach. Also that
he was with a friend, John H.
Kruse, till 4:30 that afternoon.
Friends of the dead man are
going to offer reward for the
ARREST of his murderer, and may
appeal to Gov. John johnson for
help.

Food of the Chinese.

In the Revue d'Hygiene DR.. Male
gnon, who lived for many years in
China, gives some curious details of
the food of the Chinese. This is what
he says of the sons of heaven and the
way they eat eggs: '"rhe Chinese are
great eaters Of eggs, which they take
hard boiled. One finds them in all the
roadside places for refreshment The
Celestials have an expression, Eggs Of
a hundred years The eggs are not
always century in age, but one is
able to get them Of many years stand
ing. The Celestials have a preference
for the egg Of the duck or goose. They
are placed with aromatic herbs in
slaked lime for period, the minimum
time Of treatment being five or six
weeks. Under the influence Of time
the yoke liquefies and takes a dark
green color. The white coagulates and
becomes green. The product Of the
eggs, which has strong odor, from
which stranger betakes himself

d'oeuvres, and it is said to have the
taste Of lobster"

Chicago, July II. Chinese girls bring
from ten to a hundred times as much
in the white elave markets of the
United States as the $4,000 daugh-
ters of American homes who were
sold last year according to the best
climates made by the federal and
state prosecutors for the Woman's
Worlds committee on legislation
against the monTtrous traffic. The
price usually put upon victim OF a
Chicago or New York procurer's de-
vious deviltry last year was only
from $50 to $50 but prices are now
advancing because Of the increasing
difficulty and danger of the traftlc
because of laws secured by the COM
mitteeis efforts in eight states OF the
Union. The purchasers, who are u.s.
ually keepers of disorderly houses,
forsee the end of the traffic and the
consequent restriction of their bust
ness.
The traffic in Chinese girls, so
long deplored when the raids upon
native girlhood and Womanhood
were either unknown or ignored, is
said to keep many highbinders on
the Pacific coast in silks and afflu-
ence. According to the information
supplied by Golfers Weekly to the
committee chosen and financed by
the Woman's World to fight the
white slave traffic the forty, fifty or
perhaps even sixty dollars, accord
ing to age, appearance and station
in life, for which the young chinese
girl or woman intended for Amer1-
can shipment is purchased in China,
swells to a selling price of five or
ten times that amount when the
human commodity has been trans
ported across the Pacific and safely
landed in San Francisco. 1t appears
that the United, States laws uncon-
sciouly contribute to the ease and
safety of the importations from
China. ''By Supreme Court Decis-

The Chinese cast excellent bronze

did they understand gunnery that in
the so called opium war" the forts of
the Bocca Tigris, defending the Can

large number of people working at all

bakeries that do keep open and find
trade at all hours.
Some of these all night bakeries
have lunch room attachments, where
people stop in to eat going to or from
work, while others do bakery bust
ness only. At either customers come
in at all hours Of the night to buy
things to carry away, just as people do

who go to work at midnight or at l, 2
or 3 o'clock in the morning want bread
and bakery stuff before they 60, just
the same as do those who begin their
