S1OO IS MARK FOR
SECOND CROP
OCTOBER STRAWBERRIES PROVE
PROFITABLE TO GROWERS.
Fine Fruit Now the Rule i'm Fertile
Fisher Set Out 1900 New Plants.

October strawberries have come to
be the rule, rather than the exception,
in this rich portion of the Willamette
Valley. The cutting back" process,
recently practiced by some growers,
has proven to be a success, so that
now a second crop Of this delicious
fruit is counted I'm crates, where for
merly a box or two attracted atten-
tion. From a patch Of several acres
on the Illihee tracts. west Of Dallas,
Messrs. Stewart & Fisher this month
marketed more than 500 worth Of
second crop berries. This firm was
also successful in producing for the
market an abundance of fine first
crop berreis from the same patch.
Encouraged by their success, they this
week planted 1900 new plants and
the coming season will find them de-
voting more time to the cultivation
OF the big. red berry. II has long
been known that the soil on the hills
around Dallas Is the kind where the
strawberry thrives. but il remained
for these young bachelors to prove it,
The tract lies near the city reservoir.
and other growers have been equally
successful this year.

ALL SIGNS POINT
TO SUCCESS
REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMIT
TEE HOLD LOVE FEAST.
Encouraging Reports Come From
Every Section Of County; to Have
Spectacular End to Campaign.

Bringing encouraging reports from
all sections of the county, the Polk
County Republican central commit
| tee, and candidates for county offices,
held highly enthusiastic meeting at
the county court room in the court
house in Dallas, on Saturday after
noon.
County Chairman Lawrence Keyt

were represented. The meeting lasted
from o'clock until after 5, and was
productive of much good. it was de-
clared.
Conditions throughout the county,
as affecting the national and county
tickets, were discussed, and nowhere
was there found a discordant note or
cause for concern regarding the out
come November 5. 1t was decided to
inaugurate a whirlwind campaign
during the last two weeks previous to
election. Chairman Keyt reported
that he had been assured by the
state committee that at least three
prominent speakers from outside the
state would be sent to Polk county
during the coming three weeks, and
it was the unanimous sentiment that
all should unite to make the remain
ing weeks red-letter ones in the cause
of Republicanism and the welfare of
the American home.
Reports were received from the
movement for the formation of Taft
First Voters Clubs" which were very
encouraging, and it was decided to ex-
tend the movement to embrace all
sections of the county.
Several inspiring speeches were
made and the utmost harmony and
optimistic feeling prevailed through
out.

Crazy Fanatic attempts to
Shoot Theodore Roosevelt;
WoMmd Proves Not Serious

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 15.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the
abdominal region shortly before 8
O'Clock last night while sitting in his
automobile in front of the GilpatricR
House in Milwaukee about to start for
the Auditorium to deliver his sched-
uled address. According to latest ac-
counts the bullet is imbedded in the
muscular tissue and the wound is not
serious
The attempted assassination and all
it's accompanying scenes were dramat-
&c in the extreme The would-be muir
derer was John Schrenk, of New
York City, man apparently dement,
ed on the subject of a third term. He
was captured and locked up.
Unconscious of his wound, Colonel
Roosevelt proceeded to the Auditori-
um, and when his condition was dis
covered, in spite of the protest of his
physician, he made a stirring address
on the subject of his attempted mur-
der. Weakened from loss of blood
and at the conclusion of his speech he
was taken to the Emergency hospital,
where after an examination by ply
scians, the nature of his wound was
ascertained 1t was not considered
serious enough to compel stay in
Milwaukee, and at 1850 a. m. he was
taken aboard his special train on a
slow run to Chicago.
Operation Is Possible.
If he is operated upon for the re-
moval of the bullet, DR.. John B. Muir
ply, assisted by several leading Chi
cago surgeons, probably will officiate.
That the wound was not more seri-
Gus was due to the fact that the bull
let was spent from passing through
the Colonel's army overcoat, spectacle
case and the manuscript of his con-
templated speech
Refuses to Talk.
According to the dispatches the
would be murderer's name is John
Schrenk and formerly lived in New
York, where he left wife and child.
From his actions the police believe
him to be insane. After his capture he
refused to talk and all efforts to Sc
cure any information from him prov
ed unsuccessful Later, however, he
talked freely, and from his statements
it was learned that he had been fol-
lowing Roosevelt for some time, but
had been unable to carry out his
plans at each place.

AFTER 1s MONTHS WAIT FOR
ACTION OF RELATIVES OR
FRIENDS, PAUL NIEPEL MAY
FIND SEPULCHRE.
BURIAL HALTs FOR YEAR
Body of Man Found in Cola Woods in
September, 1911, May Now Be
Claimed; Spanish War Veterans
Camp Shows Interest in Memory of
Deceased.

After keeping the body of Paul Me
pei of Dolgeville, N. Y, embalmed in
his undertaking parlors for more
than 1S months, it Is possible that
Undertaken r. L. Chapman may ship
the remains to Herlkimer, N. Y, in the
near future.
The body of an unknown man, who
had evidently committed suicide. was
found in the woods near Eola early
in September, 1911. Coroner Chap
man was notified and jury empan-
elled to inquire into the cause of
death, rendered verdict of suicide.
At the time the remains were uniden-
titled, but later it was established by
clues found on the body, that the man
was Paul Niepel, of Dolgeville, N. Y.
Mr.. Chapman at once entered into
correspondence with Niepel's relatives
in New York, and for time it was
thought that the remains would be
sent there for interment
Keeps the Body for Is Months.
But time passed on, more corre-
spondence ensued, and finally the case
was dropped entirely. Relatives would
not furnish the funds to defray the
expense of shipping the body and, as
there was no local money available,
the remains continued to repose on
a slab in the Chapman morgue.
The body has been kept in an excel
lent state of preservation, according
to Mr.. Chapman, who determined to
see how long he could keep it, and in
the hope that some action for the
disposition of the remains would be
| taken.
Was Spanish War Veteran.
Last week Mr. Chapman received a
letter from Adjutant-Colonel T.. w.
Christman, of Herkimer, N. Y, in
which it was stated that Niepel was
member of John w. Vrooman Camp
No. 81. United Spanish War Veter-
ans, and asking the price of a simple
marker for the grave, Christman sup
posing of course that the body had
been buried. He also asked inform
alton as to why the remains had not
been shipped East.
Mr.. Chapman at once replied to the
letter, giving Mr.. Christman full de-
| tails of the affair and, at the same
time, informing him that Niepel was
still unburied. The former thinks
that, If the Spanish War veterans
camp was interested in Nlepel sufii-
ciently to wish to place a marker
for his grave it might be possible
that it would provide for the ship
ment of the remains East. A reply
from the Herkimer camp is eagerly
awaited.

SHIELDS EXPOSES
SINGLE TAX
FALLACIEs OF FELs FUND PROP
AGANDA is SHOWN UP.
Good Sized Crowd Listens to Weighty
Reasons Why the Fanatical Plan
Should BE Defeated at the Polls.

In the presence of a fair-sized
crowd. Secretary Shields, of the "or-
egon Equal Taxation league" exposed
the fallacies of single tax as advocat-
ed By the Fels Fund commission, at
the court house on Thursday night.
That the speaker was well informed
on his subject was made evident by
the thorough manner in which he
tore the arguments of the single
takers to shreds. He showed, by con-
vincing proof. that the adoption Of the
single-tax propaganda would eventu-
ally result in confiscation of the land
and its absorption by the state. while
the big property owner would escape
an taxation on his magnificent i'm
provements.
Henry George Theories.
Mr.. Shields declared that the single
tax movement in oregon is but an
attempt to fasten upon this state the
fanatical theories Of Henry George,
and. quoting from his utterances,
showed where the great single taxer
had admitted that its use would
eventually destroy individual land
ownership and convert IL 10 the state,
which was the George idea Of gov
eminent He believed that the land
belonged TO an the people, and that
no Individual had a right to appropri-
ate any Of it to his own use. Under
the single tax theory Il was figured
that the change would be so gradual
that everybody could adjust them
selves % g.
His convincing arguments made
many decide % vote against the

Firing a bullet from a 98-calibre
Smith & Wesson revolver through his
brain. in a fit of momentary despond-

years, committed suicide on the Dali

lowing his arrest by Sheriff John M.
Grant, upon a charge of non-support
preferred by his young wife, who had
refused for some months to live with
him.
The shooting took place near the
Lee place and was sensational in the
extreme. Earlier in the afternoon
Sheriff Grant was given the warrant
which had been sworn out in County
Judge Coad's court and learning as he
believed, that Moore was at Falls
City, made a trip to that place with
N. Guy in the latter's automobile.
After serving other papers in that
vicinity, Grant and Guy started on the
return trip to Dallas About four
miles from Dallas they passed Moore,
who was driving single buggy
leased from Bond Bros, liverymen, OF
independence. Telling Mr.. Guy to go
on to Dallas, Mr.. Grant got out of the
auto, walked to the buggy driven by
Moore, and informed him that he was
under arrest. He then got into the
buggy, intending to come to Dallas

movements, but Mr.. Guy says that he
saw him make a movement as though
to take something% from his pocket
and conceal it under the cushions Of
the buggy seat. His suspicious were
at once aroused and he asked Grant
If he had better come on to Dallas
The latter assured him that every
thing was all right and told him to
go on,
