HANGMAN'S ROPE BROKE.
Spectators Sow nn Omen in It, and
the Condemned Man Escaped.
Denver Post. '
"Although I never saw but one hang
ing I witnessed a sight that even pro
fessional hangmen have not seen," said
A. A. Albrechton, of Columbus, Miss.,
who is at the St. James. "It was at my
home. A young Mlsslssippian named
Purdy had been convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to hang.
The evidence was wholly circumstantial,
and before he was accused of that crime
the young man had borne an excellent
reputation. He was also connected by
marriage with some of the best p.eople
in the state.
"Nevertheless, he was sentenced to
hang, and the Governor would not re
prieve him. There were two factions in
the community, one believing him guilty
and the other considering him Innocent
The latter talked of rescue, but it was
all talk.
"The scaffold was not inclosed, and
when young Purdy ascended the gallows
he walked erect and fearlesa He denied
his guilt, and all who saw him were com
pelled to admit his bearing was that of
an innocent man. The black cap was
pulled over his face, the Sheriff pulled a
lever, and the next we saw was a man
getting up from the ground, snatching the
black cap from his head and declaring
dramatically: 'God has proved my inno
cence." "The rope had broken. That was
enough. Former enemies turned into ad
herents, and before the Sheriff could
again take his prisoner to the gallows and
get another rope he was in the center of
a crowd of thousands of people, all of
whom were swearing there were not Sher
iffs enough in Mississippi to hang an in
nocent man.
"Purdy was taken home, and an escort
of 250 armed and determined men went
with him and remained until there was
no danger of any further proceedings be
ing taken. Without any legal formalities
the matter was allowed to drop, and
Purdy is living IS miles from Columbia,
respected and, happy.
"Joy almost killed his wife when she
saw him alive at the time she expected
his corpse to be brought home, To say
Purdy Is guilty is now almost as much
as a man's life is worth down there."
'TRIENDS AT THE BAKER
Xelll Stock Company "Wins Nevr Suc
cess in Comedy.
The Nelll Stock Company has sailed tri
umphantly into the affections of the theater-goers,
with its clever Jnterprctation
of the different plays presented. In the
latest sucessful effort, "Friends," which
was written by Edwin Milton Royle, tho
company has found a play that pleases
immensely. Laughter reigns supreme, and
the different scenes depict with lifelike
reality the many phases of hundreds of
struggling young professional men in large
cities.
Mr. Wyngate as John Paden achieved
one of his best successes since coming to
Portland. Howard Russell is quite at
home In the character of Adrian" Karje, a
young an$ ambitious musician, and ho is
winning great praise for his work. Cath
rlne Countlss as Marguerite Otto is the
center of attraction, and it is at the end
of the second act that she reaches the
height of a truly dramatic situation in a
superb and artistic manner. Mr. Mower
and Mr. Dills both have demonstrated
that they are actors in every sense of the
word.
"Friends" continues to draw crowded
houses, and the advance sale indicates
large business for the remainder of the
week.
"Tlie Wife" to Open at the Baker.
What will probably rank as one of the
most pronounced successes of the 'pres
ent dramatic season Is the beautiful
drama from the pen of David Belasco and
Henry De Mille, "The Wife," as presented
by the incomparable Nclll Stock Company.
This piece was first produced at the Ly
ceum Theater In New York City, by Dan
iel Frohman, and was an instantaneous
success. After its long run In that city,
Mr. Frohman played an extended engage
ment throughout the United States with
his Lyceum Company, among whom wero
Georgle Cayvan, Herbert Kelcey, Efflc
Shannon, W. J. Le Moyney Nelson Wheat
croft and Bessie Tyree, all of which have
been at the head of their own company
since.
Charles Wyngate will have an excellent
opportunity as John Rutherford, a United
States Senator. Miss Countlss will be at
her best as Helen Truman, daughter of
Silas Truman (Fred Mower), a member of
the Produce Exchange. William Bernard
as Matthew Culver, a newspaper man,
who manages to get everybody in trou
ble: Howard Russell as Jack Dexter, and
Elsie Esmond as Kittle Ives, will furnish
abundance of bright comedy, and Mina
Gleason as Mrs. Bellamy Ives will have a
character to which she is well suited. In
fact, the entire company will be excep
tionally well cast, and Mr. Morris prom
ises one of the best productions ever seen
at popular prices In this city. "The Wife"
will, be given the first presentation Sun
day afternoon at the Baker Theater, and
will run all next week.
Last Performance of Stoddart.
The last performance of "The Bonnie
Brier Bush" will be given this evening by
J. H. Stoddart and his able company. The
Portland public sho.ild eagerly grasp this
opportunity of seeing one of the greatest
veterans on the stage today in a play
that is exactly suited to his talents. As
Lachlan Campbell, his acting depicts- the
Scotch character in all of its sternness
and devotion to duty, as well as in the
gentler traits which make It lovable. The.
play is handsomely staged, and the effects
the mcst beautiful ever seen in Portland.
West's Minstrels Tomorrow.
The William H. West big minstrel Ju
bilee, which comes to the Marquam Grand
Theater tomorrow (Thursday), Friday,
Saturday night and a popular matinee
Saturday, is this" season even better and
stronger in every particular than ever
before. Under the same management as
last season, it is more than duplicating Its
large business everywhere. Among the
more prominent comedians are Billy "Van,
Swift and Huber, McMahon and King and
Frank Hammond, while the singing end
of the performance is well taken care of.
The advance sale opened yesterday.
"Barbara Frietclile."
Following "The Convict's Daughter" at
Cordray's Theater, "Barbara Frietchle"
will open at the Sunday matinee, with
beautiful Mary Elizabeth Forbes in the
title role. The story, as told by Clyde
Fitch, is that of a ravishing Southern
beauty, . and the clever dramatization
places it among the leading war plays of
tne day.
SILVER BASIS RUINOUS.
Philippines Will Have Deficit In
stead of Expected Surplus.
.MANILA, Oct. 2L The depreciation in
the value of silver has cost the insular
government approximately $1,000,000 in
gold, as the Government is carrying $10,
000,000 of sliver. Further depreciation will
increase the loss. The official rate now
is ?2 40 silver for 51 gold. The prospec
tive surplus which the Government
planned to devote to needed public im
provements has vanished, and a small de
ficit seems inevitable. Discontent owing
to the fluctuating currency Is general.
Many merchants and others have sus
tained losses proportionate to that of the
Government, and hundreds of firms have
put their business on a gold basis.
TO REGISTER LAND TITLES.
Philippine Commission "Will Adopt,
the Torrens System.
MANILA, Oct. 21. The United States
Philippine Commission has decided to en
act a land-law registry bill drafted by
Commissioner Ide. The bill adapts the
Torrens registry system, with modifica
tions, to fit the local conditions, and cre
ates a land titles court. Land titles
throughout the islands are at present
clouded to such an extent that sales of
land and Its Improvement are retarded.
An enormous task is involved in the labor
of clearing titles. Government lands
which were sold under authority of the
Philippines act after that act passed the
American Congress, will be recorded un
der the Torrens system.
Tlie commission has passed a bill de
fining the terms under which the Manila
street railway franchise is to be granted.
This bill provides for the award of the
franchise by competition. Bids will be
opened next March, after advertisement
here and in the United States.
Rice Famine Probable.
MANILA, Oct. 21. It is believed that
the Philippines will experience a rice
famine. The island crops are small, the
Oriental supply seems limited, and tne
price Is advancing rapidly. It is possible
that the Government will be forced to
provide supplies for the poorer natives;

CAREY ACT A BLUNDER?
"XO, IT'S THE BEST CONGRESS EVER
PASSED," SAYS C. M. IDLEMAX.
Attorney for Oregon Development
Company Defends Prdject Whlcli
Seeks to Invest $700,000.
"The Carey act a blunder? No, sir; it's
the best Irrigation act Congress ever
made. Yes, sir; the very best, and don't
you forget it."
This Is what C. M. Idleman said yester
day. He is attorney for the Oregon De
velopment Company, which Is seeking to
Invest $700,000 in the Deschutes country In
reclaiming arid land.
"The Carey act does not give land to
the possession of any company. How,
then, are we landgrabbers? It gives
merely a lien on the land for the cost of
reclamation. How, then, are we graft
ers? The lands, when made arable, arc
to be filed upon by settlers according to
all the regulations for entry upon des
ert lands. How, then, are- we thieves?
The interests of Uncle Sam are safeguard
ed at every turn against 'greed' of cor
porations, as the fad expresses it. How,
then, is Uncle Sam cheated? ,
"My company is ready to invest $700,000.
Who says it is a band of buccaneers? Let
him stand forth and I will disabuse his
mind with proofs of our good faith such
as will convince him of the sincerity and
straightforwardness of our -alms. But he
must be open to reason. I trust this Is a
fair condition to my proposal.
"Of course,- Walker Basin, in Des
chutes Valley, is the best country in Ore
gon for Irrigation. That's why we're
there. But it's no reason why we're
grafters. If our company stands ready
to Invest $700,000 toward the reclamation
of Walker Basin, should not the Gov
ernment permit us to go ahead, thereby
saving Its own money for other parts of
the state Are. there no arid lands In
Harney, Malheur, Baker, Umatilla, Lake
and other counties, where private irriga
tion enterprise has not entered, and where
the Government money is needed?
"To interfere with private enterprise Is
against the spirit of Americanism. For a
Government to do so is in the nature of
paternalism. It breeds defendants. It
precludes emulation and competition, the
elements of American progresslveness.
The National Irrigation law does not
mean to throttle private enterprise. It is
in no way in conflict with the Carey act.
except in so far as certain persons would
make it so. The Carey act is for private
projects.
The National law is for Government
projects projects that could not be car
ried out by private capital.
"We Iiave expended thousands of dol
lars already, and are willing to spend
more If public sentiment in the state will
let us. But we cannot encounter a hos
tile public sentiment. The men back of
this enterprise will rather pull out and go
to a place where their Interests are not so
menaced. All we want Is fair play, but
some people would deny us this, possibly
those who have axes to grind or sheep
to fatten on the public domain.
"It has been said that we have no cap
ital and .that our engineers have no abil
ity. "But will anybody say that Henry
Docrr. of Minneapolis, is a man without
capital, or that Messrs. Stilwell and Chris
tian, of that same city, are land-grabbers,
whose only object Is to delay reclamation
of WalkeT Basin?
"Does anybody say that Major Alfred
F. Sears, Sr., who spent four months In
Walker Basin with two corps of engineers,
in running 59 miles of main canal, taking
levels and measuring supply of water, is
an unskilled engineer?
"Does anybody say that the Oregon De
velopment Company, after keeping en
gineers in the field for months, expending
many thousands of dollars, submitting its
plane, specifications and drawings, to the
State Land Board, and obtaining a con
tract for the outlay of $700,000, is a crowd
of adventurers or land-grabbers?
"Does anybody say that the state is de
frauded after the Land Board gave the
matter five or six months deliberation?
The Attorney-General and Hon. George
H. Williams were advisers before the
board executed the contract. They deemed
the charge of $9 75 per acre a fair one for
reclaiming the land. So did Major Sears,
the state's own engineer, and Mr. Dill
man, whom the boaTd later sent out at our
expense to verify what Major Sears had
done.
"Does anybody say my company is a
grafter, because it has desired to begin
work for many months and is still held
back by delay in Washington in the final
execution of tho contract? Is it a land
grabber because It has been retarded by
persons who have vainly tried to graft
from it?
"Is it not time that grafters, who have
axes to grind or sheep to feed on the
public domain, should, cease to hold up a
company that has been ready to begin
work for months? Ours Is a bona fide
corporation, organized under the .aws of
Oregon. Its capital Is all subscribed by
Investors outside the state, except that
small part necessary for the organization
of the company.
"A word to persons who think the Carey
act Is a land-grabbers' law: Under that
act, not one acre of land can be acquired
by a corporation. Under our contract
In pursuance of that law, the cost of fur
nishing water per year per acre, 75 cents,
Is one-third less than In almost any other
state In which similar contracts have
been let."

When one of the family is sick, mother
seems to be the only person who can

But we forget sometimes that It Is pretty
hard on mother.
Mrs. Propst, of Albany, Or., says:
"About 27 months ago, father suffered
with a stroke of paralysis, confining him
to his bed for months, and as ho wished
mother with him constantly, his care In a
great measure fell to her lot. She was 74
years old, and through constant attend
ance upon my father, lost both sleep and
rest, and began drinking coffee in quanti
ties until finally she "became very weak,
nervous and HI herself.
"By her physician's order, she began
giving father Postum Food Coffee and
Grape-wfts, and In that way began using
both herself. The effect was very no
ticeable. Father improved rapidly, and
mother regained her. strength and health,
and now both are well and strong. Mother
says it is all duo to tho continued use of
Postum and Grape-Nuts."
o'clock A. M., to ask him to close his
place of business, Kober drew a re
volver and said he would .kill them if
they did not get out. "If the defendant
had not made falsehoods on the witness
stand, I would be Inclined to deal 'more
leniently with him," remarked the Judge.
"I alsb wish to show that the public must
show proper respect to police officers."
