COOKING UP DEFENSES
 FOR YOUNG PRISONERS
Their Cases Are Almost Invariably
 Made Worse.

A youth, Ignacio Soto, was held to the grand jury yesterday for the theft of a bicycle, the property of Alfonso Cruz. The latter a few days ago was going through Mesa when he saw a wheel which he recognized as his though it was disguised with a coat of paint and new handlebars. He found that it was claimed by Soto, who got himself into further trouble by the statement that he had bought it on January IS. He was very certain about the day. Cruz had had it in his possession until the middle of Febru- ary, and accordingly he swore out a warrant for the arrest of Soto.
 The boy was brought to town and locked up. He made a statement at the time that it was thought would clear the matter up and it was further found that he had very good reputa tion and had for some time been em- ployed by H. I. Latham.
 Sheriff Hayden was anxious to help the boy and yesterday morning he told him that if he would tell the truth about the wheel he would do what he could for him.
 Instead of accepting the offer the youth not only stuck to the story that he had told Cruz but he threw much circumstantial matter about the rela- tiOn, so that the sheriff recognized his defense as one that had been con cocted for him by some of those chimney corner lawyers, of whom there is always at least one in the jail. The average jail bird takes refuge in a lie.
 Now" said the sheriff to Soto, let me talk to you. MT Latham and I are on the outside of the jail; we are free more good than those fellows on the inside? Now, didn't some of the pris- oners tell you to lie about and fix up this defense for yOu?"
 The boy replied that that had been done. Thereupon he made a confes- sion of the theft of the wheel and threw himself upon the mercy of the sheriff
 It is this tendency of the older and more experienced prisoners to make criminals out Of the first terms that leads the officers to question closely. when they can all young men and boys who are brought to the jail before they are locked up. Unless a statement can be obtained from them before the key is turned upon them, they come out with a fabricated defense which in not one case out of ninety-nine has stood the test of a trial.

WHY THEY FAIL
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
 of Piles

Disagreeable treatment with oint- ments of suppositories usually fails to cure piles and cutting them off won't remove the cause. Such treat ment only moderates the outside ef fleets of the disease and fails to reme- dy the inside cause. The up-tO-date doctors now use internal medicine. to free the circulation in the lower bow el. and so remove the disease.

AVIATOR HAS
HARD BATTLE
WITH DEATH
LIMITED PRESS LrAsEp wInH.l

Oakland. Cal, Dec. 23.-Weldon
Cooke. the Alameda county aviator,
and University Of California gradu-
ate. who recently sprang into the
limelight by flying over the top of
Mount Tamalpais, has added fresh
laurels to his aeronautic career today
as a result of his return trip to Oak
land. after one of the tiercest bat
ties with the elements ever fought
above the clouds.
When Cooke left Mill Valley on his
return. he encountered a conflicting
series of treacherous air currents,
which buffeted his frail craft vicious
". and threatened to swamp 1t. I'm
able to turn back, he was forced to
soar to a. height of $500 feet before
he could continue. The machine was
tossed like a cork from current to
current. now springing upward al
most beyond his control, and again
descending with the velocity of re-
leased parachute, until stopped by
another current, and tossed about in
a nasty gale.
The biplane which completed the
trip was constructed by Cooke him
self.

Aroused over the actions of a man
with blood-smeared face, who made
his appearance among them this af-
ternoon, residents of Morningside
addition telephoned Sheriff Minto to
come to the scene, but while Deputy
Sheriff Esch had been searching for
him for several hours he had not, up
to late hour apprehended him.
When first observed he entered the
VIM. McReynolds barn. Mrs. Nc
Reynolds went to a neighbor and told
him about him, and together they
started for the barn. When near I
the man emerged and fed, and
while they called upon him to halt
he paid no heed.
The officials of the sheriff's Office
are of the opinion that he is some
madman.

THE STAYTON
ELECTION IS
ILLEGAL
JUDGE GALLOWAY HOLDS THAT
1T WAS NOT AN ELECTION BY
THE PRECINCT, BUT ONLY BY
THE CITY AND THEREFORE
VOID.

Judge Galloway today overruled
the demurrer interposed by the state
IN the case of Thomas Riggs against
the board of county commissioners
and should be sustained by the su-
preme court, it will mean that the
town of Stayton will remain in the
wet" column.
The suit was brought by Riggs to
en1oin the board of county commits
sioners from declaring the town dry
IN pursuance to an election held
there recently. 1t was maintained
that the notices of the election were
not posted according to law and
that the board had no way of deter
mining the number of registered vot-
ers in Stayton. This latter fact was
true, it was maintained, because
Stayton is only a portion of Stayton
precinct, and the board, therefore,
could have no list of the registered
voters in the town.
Judge Harris, of Lane county, re-
Gently decided the same way in a
similar case. That case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court, and Il
is likely that the present case WIN
not be appealed but the parties abide
by the decision rendered in the Lahe

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh'
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

in the statements of Hamilton ana
Madison, among others, in the consti-
tutional convention-under the safe
guard of a pledge of secrecy.
"The reasons given in these de-
bates for checks and balances on the
constitution differed radically from
those given by Hamilton and Madi-

Federalist during the campaign for
the adoption of the constitution
"The constitution Of the United
