Especial Correspondence.) }

Athena, Ore, July 12.-The gener-
al merchandise store under the name
of the Mosgrove Mercantile company
of this city, was the field of looting
gang last night as it was broken into
and several things stolen. When the
clerks of the store opened 1t this
morning they found the back door Of
the dry goods department broken
open and upon searching over the
store several articles were missing.
The looters made away with two blue
serge coats valued at ten dollars
apiece, and two good suitcases. They
then went into the grocery depart
ment and after drinking a bottle of
grape juice and helping themselves
to the tobacco made their escape. No
clue has been found as to the iden-
tity of the night raiders, but 1t Is
thought that it is the work of some
OF the idle laborers that are camping
on the creek near town. BY all ap-
pearances the raiders became alarmed
and cleared out before they had quite
finished their nights work. or prob
ably the loss would have been great
er. A strong effort is being made by
Marshal Gholson to discover the
whereabouts of the burglars and it is
thought that their identity will be
found out within few days, although
Mr.. Kholson has made no statement
to that effect ..

FEMALE JURY FINED HER.
Woman Defendant Got Harsh Treat
ment from Her Sex

ment from Her Sex.
North Yakima.-The claim for the
first woman's jury, variously made BY
Idaho and Colorado counties belongs
to Sheridan county, Wyoming, accord
ing to Mrs. w. d. Wrighter of this
city. who says she was summoned
for a women's jury there II years
ago. The case arose over a woman
who slapped a little boy who threw
stones at her child. The judge in the
case was NJ. L. Blake, now at Wash
ington, d. c.. and the attorney for the
defense was e. E Lonabough, re-
Gently prominent in the Wyom ng
mining cases.
Mr.. Lonebaugh thought that by
calling a jury of her peers and sex
his client would have an easy chance
to get off, but he reckoned without
his host, for the female jury fined the
slapping woman. 1t seems that on the
stand she made the mistake of as
serting that she would repeat the
chastisement under similar provaca-
ton. which was taken for defiance.
Mrs. Wrighter was assistant post
mistress at the time, and therefore
not eligible to serve. There are a
number of Wyoming people in this
part of the state who distinctly re-
member the case.
Mrs. Wrighter has lived here two
years and is a member of several so
cial organizations and women's clubs.

Salem, Ore, July 1S.-The judg-
ment of the lower court of Washing
ton county, in which John D. Rose
lair was convicted and sentenced to
hang for the murder of his wife at a
lonely cabin near Hillsboro. was af-
firmed in an opinion handed down by
the Supreme Court yesterday. Rose
lair's own confession of the crime
proved fatal to him, he having ad-
mitted that he cut his wife to pieces
with large butcher knife in a fit Of
anger because his victim threw a pan
of milk in his face, but contended in
his confession that the killing was
done in self-defense. The Supreme
Court took particular notice of the
plea of self-defense, but finds that
the plea was taken into consideration
that part of the murderer's confession
stating that after 1 had discovered
the seriousness of my act, l finished
the killing of my wife to put her out
OF misery" is sufficient cause for
a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree. it being forethought and alb
solutely premeditated.
The defendants counsel objected to
the introduction of the confession as
evidence in the trial court on the
ground that it was made while Rose
lair's mind was in a deranged condi-
ton. and objection was also inter-
posed to testimony OF expert insanity
physicians, who swore that the mur-
derer was sound of mind when writing
the confession. Chief Justice Moore
writes the opinion, and holds that IL
RoseIair's mind was unfirm at the
time he committed the crime. the
state was entitled to employ expert
witnesses to ascertain the condition
OF the brain afterward. and in the
opinion of the court the defendants
concession is admissible as evidence.

CONSUMPTION STARED BUSINESS
MAN IN The FACE

local case of consumption, that
most dreadful of all diseases, is the
latest to flee before the advance of
the world-famous scientists, Fer
Don's European Medical Experts, now
located at 637 Main ST., Pendleton,
Oregon.
This Is a case Of which the doctors
who accomplished the cure, as we'll
as Fer-Don himself, are justly proud,
while the words almost fail to express
the happiness and gratitude of the
patient, Mr.. c. Steinhauer. a prom
inent man of McCloud, Siskiyou
county, California, now stopping at
5O2 1-2 K street, Sacramento. The
terrible destroying effects of the
tubercular germ are mighty power
full, and unless the advance of this
germ is checked, life is soon vast
ed. There are cases of tuberculosis
that cannot be cured, and then again
there are many that can, IL the

enough to have secured the services
OF such learned doctors as Fer-Don's
European Medical Experts would to-
day be perfectly well and enjoying
every minute Of their life on this
mundane sphere. These physicians
can positively cure consumption in its
first and second stages, but no medi-
cal power on earth can accomplish
cure in the third or last stage. The
physician who tells you he can cure
you If in the last stage Of consumption
Is what the world terms fakir. Fer
Don's specialists do not under any
condition accept cases in the last
stages. consequently they know lust
what they have to accomplish when a
tuberculosis case is taken. Here is
what Mr.. Steinhauer says:

PREACHER TELLS WHY
JEFFRIES LOST FIGHT

Minneapolis, Minn.-The Rev. G. L.
Morrell, pastor of the Peoples church
of this city. electrified his congrega-
tion Sunday morning by preaching
upon the sermon topic of why JEFF
fries lost, treating his novel theme
from the standpoint of sporting
writer.
There are five reasons why Jim
Jeffries lost the fight to Johnson"
said the pastor. He is too old and
he has been out of the game too long.
He lived a life of luxury during his
period of non-fighting ana that did
not help him.
Then again. he was surrounded by
a bunch of fool trainers who did not
give him the proper advice, and spent
more time massaging him than in
giving him the right kind of training
for fight.
Another reason is Jeffries' race
hatred. He was so anxious to win
from the black man, and hated him
so vigorously that he could not dc
himself justice for fear that he would
lose"
Mr.. Morrell declared flatly that he
was in favor Of pugilism. He said hi
believed in it as a manly sport, tend,
ing to bring out many of the bes
things in human beings. II wish tina
