To the People of the City of Salem,

To the People Of the City Of Salem,
Oregon:
l. B. L. Sleeves, the duly elected,
qualified and acting mayor Of the

HUMPHREYS BROTHERS
WILL HANG SATURDAY
Governor Reprieves Them for One
Day on Account Of Date Being
Good Friday.

George and Charles Humphreys, ad-
judged guilty by the lower court for
Benton county and by the supreme
court of Oregon Of the murder Of Mrs.
Eliza Griffith, will expiate their crime
by hanging. The death sentence will
not be commuted. Governor West
made this announcement today after
a conference with Rev. Barr G. Lee
Of the Episcopal church, one of those
who has petitioned the governor to
save the lives of the condemned men.
Governor West has, however, grant
ed a reprieve of one day out of re-
speca to the rites of the Episcopal
church in observing Good Friday, and
the men will die on Saturday March
90, instead of Friday March 21 The
Humphreys come of an Episcopal
family. Rev. Barr G. Lee has admin
lstered to them since they have been
in prison and will attend them on the
gallows. He has asked the governor
to grant the short reprieve as a con-
sideration Of the family and of his
own feelings as a clergyman in the
Episcopal church. Should the hang
ing take place on Good Friday the
duty of the minister in the execution
chamber would conflict with his du-
ties at the church Governor West
granted the request without hesitancy.
DR.. Lee has represented a certain
element opposed to capital punishment
in his petitions to the governor. An
other who has attempted to have their
sentence commuted Is w. II. Parkin-
son, one of the attorneys of the de-
fendant, and one implicated in
the famous University Of Oregon ref
erendum case. Also numerous letters
have been received by the governor re-
questing commutation, some OF them
even urging upon the executive GER
tain circumstances alleged to indicate
that the men were not guilty of the
crime.
The condemned men will be inter
viewed by newspaper representatives
tomorrow.

Storm Is General.

Chicago March 14.-With terrific
billiards. and zero temperatures in the
north and cyclones and torrential rains
in the south, the whole middle west
today is in the grip Of the worst storm
Of the winter.
In all directions from Chicago wires
are down or working so badly that
only the barest bulletins are being re-
ceived Of the devastation wrought.
From Nebraska have come reports OF
two fatal train wrecks on the Union
Pacific; Montana and Wyoming are
swept by bowling blizzard and all the
country along the northern border is
suffering, from the Great Lakes to the
Rockies.
Many Are Killed.
In. the south the conditions, except
for the cold, are as bad Meagre re-
ports Of a cyclone in Columbus, Ca,
indicate that perhaps a score of lives
have been lost in a cyclone and torren-
tial rainstorm there, while Atlanta,
and other sections of Georgia are ex-
pected to add a dozen to the list Of
dead.
In Chicago street car and elevated
traffic is greatly hampered by the
storm, and in the poorer sections Of
the city the suffering is intense.
Later advlces received from Wyom-
ing state that the storm there is the
worst in years. In addition to the
wrecks at Co2ard and Hearndon, Neb.,
Union Pacific train No. is stalled at
Kimball, Nebo and No. II Is storm
bound at Lodge Pole.
Conditions on the railroads are fear
full, and all traffic east Of Cheyenne
Is at a standstlll, while laborers are
unable to get through the storm to
assist the stalled trains.

Miss Lennie F. Meyer and Mr.
Augustus Mclaughlin were
united in the holy bonds of
matrimony at st. Paul, and re-
NAMED in a state of coma until
the following day when they
took the train for Hope. In the
meantime letters had been re-
ceived here in the handwriting
of the bridegroom stating that
that they would arrive Thurs
day. This mistake in days was
probably due to the fact that
married life seems longer.
Never theless, a number of the
ardent friends of the groom
went to the train Wednesday
morning, prepared for the occa.
sion and extended a hearty
welcome to the young couple
upon their arrival.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclaughlin
will make their home in Hope.

friends in congratulations and
best wishes as they embark on

Mayor Fitzgerald Of Boston, has
some sensible ideas on marriage. He
says:
I'D rather see a young fellow marry
on $I5 a week than hold aloof from
marriage until too late in life. It's a
great deal better for a young couple
to struggle along together and have
their little home, for their little family,
than it is to live singly till the mar
has gathered a pile. Whether the mar
should attempt to start a home on ST. (
a week depends very much on the pirl
the man marries."
Undoubtedly there is much sense in
the above, but the surest and safest
way IS to marry a girl in our own town
and take no chances.
