WINNING Land Case
FORMER GOVERNOR, COUNSEL.
FOR C. A. SMITH, SCORES.
Forces Governments Star Witness to
Make Damaging Admis-
sions.

Portland, Ore, May Sin the most
searching cross-examlnations ever wit
messed in a Multnomah county court,
John Lind, former governor Of Mime
sofa, practically won the case for
Charles A. Smith. Minneapolis lumber
man, on trial here for alleged land
frauds.
Drawing cut one of the most sensa-
tional stories of duplicity ever heard
in the local courts, Lind made S. A. ID.
Puter, long considered by the govern
ment as a man who would cinch the
case against Smith, confess that he
had used the franchise in the Henry
inquiry and his confidential position
with the prosecution to coerce Smith
into paying him sl0.467 for revealing
a land fraud plot hardly imagined by
the governments attorneys.
He frankly admitted that he had
given the double cross to his business
associates, had handed a like package
TO the government, and had made so
many statements of various transac-
tons that they conflict and could not
be reconciled.
He said it was he who had Frederick
A. Kribs called before the inquisitors
and the grand jury. He conceded
that he had spoken falsely when max
ing his famous presentation to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock as to the time when
he entered into a agreement for the
acquisition of the Linn county lands in
question, and that he had made this
presentation strong so as to carry out
another confession that his book on
'Looters of Public Domain" was made
strong, also, to get results in other
schemes he was working on.
Puter's testimony has been the SEN
sation in the governments suits to
cancel the title to so claims of timber
land held by c. A. Smith and the Linn
and Lane Timber company in Linn
county.

Light on Cause of tuberculosis.

The sixth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis was held
in Washington on May 2 and 3. Among
the most interesting papers was one
by DR.. William II. Parks, the famous
pathologist and head of the lebora-
tories of the New York city depart
ment of health. Doctor Park ~contended
that pulmonary tuberculosis is very
rarely, If ever, caused by infection
from bovine sources, such as the
drinking of milk or the eating of meat.
tuberculosis of the stomach and inter-
nal organs, which compose only about
ten per cent. of the sickness from
this disease, are often caused by drink
ing or eating infected matter. Doctor
Park substantiated his conclusions by
showing the results Of years of inves-
tigation and examination of pathology
cal specimens. His conclusions are
substantially those reached by DR..
Robert Koch, the discoverer of the tu-
bercle bacillus.

tvs position as Prince Of Wales and
as king endowed him with a social
power superior to that enjoyed by any
continental sovereign.
The English people are indebted to
King Edward for many reforms,
brought about by him in his role as So
cellent indication of his character. 1t
is, thanks to him, for instance, that
hard drinking and coarseness of Ian
guage went out Of fashion. And il
a higher tone of morality and a great
er sense of proprity now prevail than
in the earlier half of the last century,
it is in a great measure due to the
u~nobtrusive but excellent care which
his majesty took to keep out of society
those who had forfeited their rights to
remain within it's pale. He was as
ready as any other votary of pleasure
to meet them in the sphere to which
they had descended and to treat them
there with kindness and consideration,
but he would not tolerate their pres

and took quiet means to eliminate
them therefrom.
One of the most pleasing traits of
King Edward was his singulaly happy
home life. He was the object of many
stories of a more or less slanderous
nature, which he always considered it
beneath his dignity to deny or refute.
But 1t vas only necessary to see the
king among his family at Sandring-
ham, and to observe the affection with
which his nephews and nieces spoke of
Uncle BERTHE" to realize that much
that was spoken and written about
him was absolutely false.

DEMOCRATS MAY CONTROL
Forecaste of Next Congress Made by
Success Magazine

Control OF the next Congress
hinges on the result in thirteen dis
tricts and the outcome is likely to
be so close in these that the official
count will be needed to decide.
This prediction is made by Sue
cess Magazine as the result of its
confidential canvass of fifteen thous-
and of it's life subscribers scatter
ed in every section Of the United
States. Two years ago this maya
zine in the same way predicted the
election of President Taft, it's poll
Of the States agreeing absolutely
with the of1icial result excepting
in Missouri, which it gave to Bryan,
but at the time insisted was very
doubtful, and which was found TO
have gone for Taft only when the
official count was available.
The present poll was reached by
sending ballots TO %, 900 of the life
subscribers aad the figures compiled
from the replies of the fifteen thous-
and that answered present what
the Success publishers believe to
be fairly accurate portrayal OF the
sentiment in the country at large
1t is shown that where the reaction
airy candidates won out in the fight
for the denomination, they are so
secure in their districts that it
would require a landslide to GUST
them. Where insurgents won they
robbed their Democratic opponents
of their paramount" issues, down
ward revision of the tariff and Con-
nonism. This is especially the case
in the Middle Westard on the Paci-
fic slope.
Commenting on this, Success will
say: Both wings of the Republi
can party are now diligently engag-
ed in their historic occupation OF
buryirg the Ratchet"
The result of the poll indicates
that 100 cengl essional districts are
safely Republican,; 168 safely Demo
cratic; that % are probably Repub-
lican and u probably Democratic,
This being true the two parties
would be tied with 1S9 each and on
the remaining thirteen districts
would hinge control of the house.

The Two Colonies

Under the caption, THE Two Col
onelsy' Mr. Watterson says in the
Louisville Courier-Journal:
.'Colonel Roosevelt has not only
stolen Colonel Bryan's clothes, but
he has crowded Colonel Bryan off
the stage and taken his place be-
fore the footligbts, and, as if to add
insult to the injury, ex-Vice-Presi-
dent Fairbanks introduces him as
The Mighty Conqueror.'
With every footstep Colonel
Roosevelt's record in Office stares
him in the face and disputes his
right Of way. AS an open and
avowed candidate his self-seeking
would be as obvious as Colonel
Bryan's artlessness.
The people would say: We
turned Colonel Bryan down because
we thought him simpleton, and we
will turn you down because you
take US for simpletons.

Friends Liberate Murderer Moore at
Livingston

John Moore, the condemned muir
derer OF Frank Howl, who was SEN
fenced Saturday, October 18th, to
electrocution in Richmond on No
vember 2Jth, was rescued from the
Nelson county Jail at Lovingston
last Friday by a mob of about TWEEN
ty-five men, who took the condemn
ed man away with them as they dis
appeared in the darkness.
That Moore was carried back to
the scene of the alleged crime by
friends, there is no doubt and it is
doubted now if he will ever be re-
captured, for these friends will, no
doubt, aid in secreting him in the
community for q time until it ap.
pears to be safe to spirit him out
of the county and get him away
where arrest will be impossible.
1t is not known what became o
the murderer, but he was carried
away by the mob, who left the jai
at Livingston in carriages ana or
horseback.
The county authorities have offer
ed a reward of 500 for the captur,
of the prisoner and Governor Mann
has offered an additional reward o
$3.50.

Whose Invention Was the Reaper

Under the above caption the fol-
lowing communication from Mrs. D.
F.Clemmer appeared in last Fridays
Stanton Daily Leader:
in Saturdays Daily Leader the
question is asked, Did Bob McCor-
mick invent the Reaper :? and under
this heading the assertion is made
that some members of the McCor-
mick family claim that instead his
son Cyrus II. was the inventor.
ITO some it may Sc IN bold as
and those no know 1 am correct in
what l say it really is no wonder
the Mccormick family are not sure
which ore OF them invented the
reaper, for while they have always
gotten the credit it belonged TO none
other than my father, Archibald
MGR Blain, son of Rev. }. NJ. 5.
Blain. For lack Of funds to patent.
for the paltry sum of $1,000 lie gave
Cyrus H. Mccormick the right to
secure it and divide the royalty,
W hich, alas, has rot been zone.
Surely the cousciences OF TIN pre-,
ent generations are not burning
with the shame Of it now that 20
years has elapsed since the real in
ventor died.
II could not let this opportunity
escape to say to the public gener
ally that the story told Of little
shop near Raphine being the place
where the first reaper was invented
was a farce and l have the wood Of
