HUMPHREYS INSIST
THEY ARE INNOCENT

Pale and tremulous from their long
Imprisonment, and with faces and
hands blotched with sores, Charley and
George Humphreys, sentenced to hang
one week from today for the murder of
Mrs. Eliza Griffith, at Philomath in
Benton county were led into the pris-
on chapel at an early hour this morn
ing to be interviewed by press rep
resentatives. With reader speech than
is their usual wont, but with only an
occasional sign of animation, the men
denied their guilt, and declared that
they will remain firm in their denial
to the end
Charley was the first to be ques-
toned by the newspaper men. While
he answered in monosylables the
questions put to him, his brother
stood by the chapel radiator, his hag-
gard and bearded face studying a pic

ert Strahorn has been through the
mill Of the newspaper game, from the
cases to the editorial desk. He was all
through the Sioux war Of 1876 and
1877, and participated in seven or eight
bloody battles, as representative of
the Rocky Mountain News, Of Denver,
the New York Times and the Chicago
Tribune.
But He Evolved.
But the ruling passion Of Strahon's
life is evolution. He has evolved him

has caused other things to evolve,
From the Indian war narrator the
graduated into the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co., and organized its publicl-
ty department back in 1877, That's
how he became a railroad man. He
was with the Northern Pacific eight
years, and the work brought him to the
far west. With his young wife he
staged it from Utah to the Willamette
valley in 1880. Mrs. Strahorn has
made that trip, and many others, to-
falling $4,000 miles, a part Of the his
tory Of the west in the authorship Of
Fifteen Thousand Miles by Stage"
which went to the publishers year
ago, and which is now entering upon
its third edition. Already the name Of
Mrs. Strahorn has become widely
known through the historical work she
has written.
Mrs Strahorn is in Salem with her
husband today. She is viewing Salem
and the Willamette valley for the first
time 33 years after her stage coach
trip here in the early days.
Lays Out Towns.
Mr.. Strahorn left the railroad work
long enough to spend several years
laying out town sites and promoting
immigration and irrigation projects
Caldwell, Shoshone and other towns on
the Oregon Short Line, in Idaho, were
laid out by the foreloper.
But, having developed the building
instinct, Strahorn could not stay out
of the railroad business--or better
Hartman and other big railroad men
would not let him stay out Of 1t, He
was the secret representative of Har-

CHICKEN SERVED IN JELLY
AVIS Something New in the Prepa-
ration of This Thoroughly APP
preciated Summer Dish.

Roast a plump tender fowl, basting
to keep it tender. When cold remove
the skin and cut in very thin small
slices. Put the bones in a saucepan
with three cups of water and cook for
three hours, reduce to two and half
cups. Add one tablespoon each Of
chopped onion, celery and carrot, one
sprig of parsley and thyme, a small
sprig Of savory, one-half bay leaf, one
Glove and six pepper corns- Cook for
ten minutes, strain through cheese
cloth, cool. Soak one-half box of gela-
tin in half q. cup of the cooled stock

stock and add the gelatin, stirring
well. Add one tablespoon Of lemon
juice, heat to the boiling point, season
with salt and cayenne. Beat the white

it gradually one cup of the hot mix
ture, then add the egg and stock very
gradually to the hot liquid; bring to
the boiling point, stirring constantly.
Remove to back of range and let stand
for half an hour, strain through jelly
that will be full when the chicken and
jelly are added. Set the pan in ice
water and pour in enough of the jelly
to cover the bottom. When this is
hard decorate the surface with hard
cooked eggs sliced and cut in fancy
shapes; pour in more jelly, spoonful

FUDGE AND WHIPPED CREAM
Delicacy Rich Enough to Tax the Di-
gestive Powers of All but the
Very Young.

Fudge with whipped cream is deli
cacy rich enough to appeal to the pal
ate of the most exacting boarding
school girl.
First, measure out pound and a
half of brown sugar-three cups-into
a saucepan, and add to this a cup of
milk, half cup of butter, a pinch of
salt and a half square of chocolate
and cook the mixture till it hardens
when tried in cold water.
Take from the fire and beat with
vigor for three minutes. Have ready
a half pint of cream beaten to froth
and add this to the mixture. Next add
little vanilla for f1avoring and
chopped walnut meats If desired. Pro
coed as with the usual fudge, beating
till almost stiff and cooling on butter
ed tins.

The early blight Of potatoes APP
pears in Wisconsin between August
Is and September %, and does con-
siderable damage to fields not sprayed
to control the disease. The excellent
results secured by spraying by the
horticultural department of the Col
lege Of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin show the advantages of
such treatment.
This department advises that grow
ers spray at once after August Is, and
not wait until the blight appears. II
the grower Is then careful to note
the condition OF his vines and the de-
velopment OF the true early blight
disease, he can govern the subse-
Quent application of the mixture &C
cording to the weather and the ap-
pearance of the field. Usually at
least three applications will be neces-
sary to get the best results, and in
some seasons four applications are ad-
yisable.
The amount of spray mixture ap-
piled per acre will depend upon the
size Of the vines. Early in the sea-
son 100 gallons Of the mixture may be
needed to cover from one to three
acres. At the last spraying, when
double nozzles should be used, 100
gallons will cover from one to ore
and one-half acres, and possibly two
acres in some cases. The mixtures
can be economical greatly by avoid
ing any leakage In the nozzles and
running the mixture through as fine
a cap as possible and still cover the
foliage.
Spraying is generally better
adapted. to the standard late varie-
ties. Substantial increases in yields
have been obtained from spraying
early varieties which were planted
late. Success from spraying early
varieties, which were planted late, is
exceptional In this state.
Failures in spraying for blight are
often the result of one or more OF
the. following causes: IMPOVERISHED

For the Sewing Room.

When scissors become dull, put a
pin between the blades and rub it up
and down, working the blades as in
cutting. This will put a new edge on
the scissors and takes but moments
time.
If one likes to have her towels
marked, but has not the time to en-
broider them nor the money to spend
on handwork, the sewing machine
shops, where one has machine hem
stitching done will embroider a mono
gram or initials BY machine for 10 or
Is cents each, and, as each letter is
stuffed as in the handwork, when care
fully Numbered and ironed on blank
ct, the effect is quite as good as of
handwork. Of course the towel must
be marked before giving it to the
shop.
