Oriain Of the Potato.

The potato, which was already cul-
tivated in America when the continent
was discovered, is spontaneous in
Chile. 1t was introduced to Europe in
1880 and 1885 by the Spaniards, and
almost at the same time by the Eng,

HIGH SCHOOL FRATERNITiES

Twenty five states are represente, in crusade which the lawmakers ani school authorities of the country are waginc against the high school fra ternity. according to a report which has just been issued for free distribu- tion by the United States bureau ol education Of these, thirteen states have passed legislative enactment. hostile to the secret orders, while the school boards of important cities in the other twelve states have adopted like measures within their own juris diction.
 All states having laws on the sub feet provide q penalty of suspension or expulsion fTom-the school for all those who join these orders. The most drastic laws were passed by Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska, whose legis latures made it d miisdemeaaor for any one even to solicit members to these organizations.

 Sheriff Adams testified that Me Nulty was all right when received at the jail: two recent employers of the man at Mesa declared that his mind was not in the least clouded Whem he worked for them; County Physician Tafel, who has had him under observation for several weeks declared positively that he believed the man to be sh hlmming. and this testimony was corrobOratcd by pr.

stuck and that he would sell the property for much less than he paid for it. From day to day his talk regarding the transaction grew more irrational. and he called upon Gnlett in regard tO the matter several times
 He also visited F. A. Spaulding and instructed him to sell the land, and then went to the office of Greene X Griffin where he offered the land at much less than he had paid for it. The Greene & Griffin company took the matter under advisement and fi- nally made an appointment with Golf man to talk over the proposed deal
 COffman went to the office of the company and remained for d long time, but seemed unable to concen- trate his attention upon the proposed sale, and wore out the patience of the officer with whom he was deal ing by his insistence upon an inter- pretation of nearly every word in the deed intimating that he was afraid of the deal, and did not see how he could pass title which he did not have, notwithstanding the fact that his deed to the ten acres had been passed and guaranteed by the ab- stract company
 Yesterday afternoon the coroner and jury reviewed the remains and Cor Oner Johnstone fixed the hour of the inquest for ten o'clock this morning when a verdict in accordance with the facts as they are known will un- doubtedly be rendered
 A letter received a few days ago by F. w. Griffen, of the E. J. Ben nit company couched in rational tone, but indicating his earnest de- sire to sell is as follows:

M 'NULTY INSANE
 SAYS THE JURY
Prisoner Attempts Suicide In Open Court, But Thought Better of It, Safety Razor Blade Wea- pon Used

An excellent example of the un- certainty of the average jury was furnished in superior court yesterday afternoon when twelve men listened to three physicians swear. that in their opinion, John McNulty is per fectly sane, and then returned d yer diet that John McNulty is insane.
 \ sensational episode was injected into the hearing by the subject when he attempted to cut his throat with a small piece of a safety razor blade. This attempt was made at the exact psychological moment when it would do the most good. and undoubtedly had an effect on the jury, which had risen from the box and was about to retire to deliberate the case. Nearly every juror was looking at McNulty. who suddenly drew the razor from his hat band and said they are going to kill me. but I'll kill myself first"
 With these words he slashcd at his throat, but his nerve perceptibly weakened and he contented himself with damaging the cuticle enough to draw q little blood
 Officers sitting close at hand grap- pied with the man, took the razor away and handcuffed him. It is the opinion of those who were closely watching McNulty that he had clev- erly selected the moment for his at tempt at suicide Half an hour be- fore McNulty had insisted upon be ing given his hat, and before he se- cured the sharp blade fumbled for some time in the rim looking for it, carefully concealing his actions from those about him.
 McNulty is indicted for assault with a deadly weapon upon one Pe- ralta, and the evidence showed the prisoner to have been entirely rational until after his identification by Peral- ia, when he began developing signs of insanity. His pet hobby appeared to be that some one had accused him of stealing the court house, and he

The third shot took effect just above the right hip joint. and the fourth made a flesh wound in the left thigh. The fifth shot he reserved for him. selft and placed a bullet through his own heart.
 Almost immediately after Coffman had completed the deal with Gillett and taken over the property he be- came obessed with the idea that there was something wrong with the title to the land. and that he had been the victim of swindle.
 He talked the matter over with l.. W. Coggins whose company abstract ed the acreage. and that gentleman explained the fact that the purchaser vas fully protected

NEW FLOUR MILL MACHINERY COMING.

Recent arrivals from Bend re-
port that a car load of machinery
for the flour mill TO be installed
by John Seethoff. lately of New
Salem, N. D., had been received
there and that another car load
was expected at once. TT e
Times Herald understands that
three teams are now on the road
between here and Bend with q
part of the machinery and the
balance will be hauled in as rap
idly as possible.
Our readers will remember
that Mr.. Seethof bought 480
acres Of land from the Oregon g.
Western Colonization Co. last
spring, the tract adjoins this city
right next to the fair grounds.
1t was stated at that time that a
grist mill would be installed as
soon as possible and the ship
ment of the machinery bears out
the statement. We understand
the promoter is a thorough mill
man understands his business
and that he is to be followed by
quite a colony of people from his
former home.
This information is of particular
interest to the Harney country
and is another step toward the
development Of the country and
another manufacturing establish
ment for this city.

ADJOURNED TERM OF COURT.

Judge Dalton Biggs arrived here
Wednesday from his home at
Ontario to preside at an adjourn
ed term Of circuit court which
convened Thursday. The time
80 far has been mostly taken up
in hearing arguments and setting
definite dates for trial Of cases to
come later. Some few new com
plants have been filed and testi-
mony taken in equity cases but
none decided.
Judge Biggs expects to be here
for several days yet the term
lasting until the latter part OF
next week. We shall be able to
give more Of the proceedings in
our next issue.

DO YOU WANT GAMBLING?

The Times-Herald is informed
that the matter of an open
town" may come up before the
city council next Wednesday
evening, This is in respect to
gambling. 1t is asserted that
other towns of the county are
open and that Burns is losing
business thereby. Many have
expressed themselves on the sub
ject during the past few days
and while some are inclined to
allow a liberal policy in this re-
spect others point out that it will
not do. They argue that because
it is known a gang of horse
thieves is rustling on the desert,
it doesn't follow that Judge Biggs
should grant the privilege to peo-
pie here to steal. There is a
state law governing gambling
and also an ordinance in this
city which they believe should
be enforced. A majority of our
citizens do not object to the sa-
loon business so long as it is run
according to law, but they do not
see that the license granted the
saloons grants them the privilege
of gambling. Suppose we put it
up to Governor West when he
comes to Burns. He has some
decided views covering the ques-
ton.

When a man will step into a
newspaper Office and stop his
paper simply because we happen
to say something that does not
meet with his approval, it shows
that person has a limited amount
of knowledge as to what paper

tendency to place them in a po-

think that they actually have a

Your attention is called to the
changes in the advertisements
from week to week as well as
the new ones. The merchants
of our city who advertise appre-
ciate your trade and take this
means of telling you of any bar
gains they may have to offer and
also to announce the arrival of
new goods which are placed at
your disposal and inspection. BY
closely keeping in touch with The
Times-Herald each week you will
learn the names of our business
men who invite you to deal with
them and you can rest assured
that they will treat you right.
A merchant who does not care
enough for your trade to ask you
to visit his store and who does
not inform you of the many bar
gains he may have to offer is
hardly worth your patronage.
The progressive merchant will
always let his customers know of
the arrival of any new goods at
once, and the way most of our
merchants do this is thru the
columns of The Times Herald,
which goes into most of the
homes in the county. and also
brings better understanding be-
tween buyer and seller alike.

Governor West Coming

Gov. Oswald West left Salem
last Sunday on horseback for q
trip across the state. He is go
ing to Boise and chose this mode
of travel to better see the big in
terror country of his state and to
personally inspect the roads. He
is making stops along the line
and talking to the people on good
roads and other subjects of in
terest.
Governor West is expected in
Burns about Monday or Tuesday
where he will receive a warm
welcome by his many friends
and admirers. We understand
he was in Prineville last night
and is making the journey at
easy stages, therefore it is not
expected he will reach here be-
fore Monday at the earliest.
