desperate three-days' battle, about rs
miles to the southwark, were, at last

On their way, the refugees declared,
they were destroying all property for

there are big American interests, and it
is believed their losses have been

ended SO disastrously for the rebel

STATE FAIR OPENS WITH BRIGHT PROSPECTS
West Writes Red
Hot Letter to Kay
Farmer Finds Office of State Treasurer
Closed Saturday Afternoon and
Governor Acts.

Governor West his morning addressed
the following letter to State Treasurer
Kay:
owe are handing you herewith $l2O
in gold coin, left with US Saturday af-
temOon by Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. Tracy,
of Turner, Oregon, who wished to have
the same applied account interest due
on their note to the school fund, but
found your office closed.
"Mrs. Tracy could not understand
why your office should be closed Satur-
day afternoon, when the offices of the
secretary Of state and governor were
open for business. I told her I would
request you to inform her. She says
they work Saturday afternoons on the
farm.
Gas chairman Of the State Land
Board, having charge of the state
school fund, I would recommend, mas
much as you have the custody Of the
school fund securities, that some ar
rangement be made TO accommodate the
farmer who calls Saturday afternoon to
make such payments. This could no
doubt be arranged without depriving
the clerks Of your office of their Satur-
day afternoon off, as the matter could
be attended to by Mr.. Ryan or your
self, Such an arrangement might de-
prive the woolen mill or the club Of
your presence, but would be a great
accommodation to the public" f"
Thus do the amenities Of official life
break into and disharmonize the happy
family gathered under the state house
dome.

Esch Has Bad Cash in Leg But
Succeeds in OverpOwering
Salem Maniac.
WOMAN HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM HIM
Lunatic Threatens Death and
Only Attack From Dog
Saves Her.

A little dog and great presence Of
mind on the part of Mrs. Edward Sau-
ter, who lives at Maple Glenn Farm,
two miles south Of Salem, undoubtedly
prevented horrible tragedy yesterday
afternoon shortly after o. clock, when
Fred G. Edwards, alias Fred @. Brine
gard, an insane man, rushed pp to
Sauter's houa tn ey.s starinl
yelled that Na R kill anybod,
he wanted to and that lAawas going To
kill her. Becoming frightened at a lit
tie dog belonging to the Sauters, which
ran up and nipped his legs, and failing
to reach wicked-looking butcher
knife which was lying on top Of a re-
frigerator on the veranda, Edwards left
and would have later been made a
corpse by his own hand, had it not
been for Sheriff Esch, who was sum
Imoned by Mr.. Sauter, after the latter
had been called up at his garage ON
High street, by his wife. Sheriff Esch
sustained a very painful but not serious
cash in his leg near the knee at the
hands Of the insane man, who held a
dangerous pocket.knife all ready for
business when the plucky officer over
powered him and took the weapon
away.
Mrs. Sauter's Experience.
Probably never again during her life
will Mrs. Sauter, who is the wife Of ex-
Councilman Ed Sauter, undergo such
terrible experience as she did yesterday.
She had just stepped out on the veran-
da Of her home when she noticed Ed
wards approaching slowly. AS soon as
Edwards caught sight Of Mrs. Sauter,
he came running wildly to the house
and rushing quickly up the steps, told
Mrs. Sauter that he was told to kill
anybody he wanted to, and that she
was to be killed the first one.
Mrs. Sauter tried to reason with the
man, but Edwards would not listen to
her and, seeing a butcher knife on
nearby refrigerator, rushed toward it.
Mrs. Sauter, noting his intentions,
quickly knocked the knife back Of the
case and stood by in terror waiting for
the then infuriated mans next move.
Being foiled temporarily Edwards flew
into a great rage and was in the act Of
rushing at Mrs. Sauter when little
house dog ran up and began nipping at
the mans legs. Like many other de-
mented minds, that of Edward 3 took
strange turn and when he found the
dog after him, he skunk off into a cor
ner and told Mrs, Sauter that "dog
is the only thing on earth l am afraid
Of and il you will call off the brute,
will leave" Mrs Sauter caught the
dog and Edwards hurried out the yard
and made has way toward Salem down
the Oregon Electric track.
Sheriff Shows Bravery.
To approach an insane man who is
carrying an open knife in his hand with
the blade scratching blood out of his
neck, requires great nerve and presence
Of mind, and that what Sheriff Esch
did after he had been called by Mr..
sauter to take Edwards in charge.
Sheriff Esch was taken out the
Slough road and just reached the Ralph

O. A. @. Has Fine Exhibit,

Just at the left as you enter the hor-
ticultural building is the exhibit of
the o. A. G. that is one on the finest
and is certainly Of the educational var
iety. There are exhibits of fruit and
fruit trees that have been located by
all kinds of pests, and the evidence Of
their work and activity is astonishing.
One branch of an apple tree is shown
that looks like it had case Of con-
fluent smallpox, and there are the pic
lures Of the woolly aphis that did the
work; not only pictures but specimens
neatly impaled on pins, a punishment
they richly deserve, and there are hun
dreds of other fruit pests and bugs
of unspellable names AMI unspeakably
bad habits. There are men from the
college that actually know the names
and tricks of the measly bugs and who
will tell all about il, There is also an
electric hen that lays an egg every
three minutes, and she can prove it,
for she lays them in a trap nest, and
is warranted to work steadily for six
days at least, being under contract for
that time.

Great Machinery Display.

cry day and then there would be much
overlooked.
Great Machinery Display.
The big machinery building 122xl75
feet is filled with magnificent dis.
play Of all kinds Of machinery, though
naturally most of it is for Farm, or
chard or dairy work. We notice es-
pecially one feature in it, and that is
the showing Of small gasoline engines
suitable for work on the farm. To one
whose farm experience ended nearly
forty years ago, this was wonderful
illustration Of how farming and farm
work has changed and improved since
that time. Then, everything was done
by hand. Now, it is all done by ma
chinery. Gang plOws pulled by tire
less engines, manure spread by machin-
cry, feed cutters the power furnished
by old Rockefeller, and hundred other
labor saving devices encouraging the
"back to the farm" movement. The
farmers wife is also taken care Of. No
longer must she turn the crank of the
old churn in which the butter stubborn
ly refused "to Gomez" no longer get
bent and worn out with the reverend
I
ing washing. This is all changed, and
one cannot realize how much it has
changed without seeing the innumerable
devices that take away the worst of
the old time drudgery,
The Horticultural building is taking
shape rapidly and this afternoon is in
lsplendid shape, though it will not be
at its best before Tuesday morning,
when it will be the best exhibit ever
made anywhere.

Calls It satisfactory.

"The tariff BILL" said Underwood,
is as satisfactory now as when drafted.
It will yield surplus revenue Of $lS,-
100000 next year"
Asked if the law would further re-
duce the cost of living, Underwood
said:
"The conference bill is lower than
