A large force of linemen with materials has been sent eut to rebuild the telegraph line with all possible haster as ' work "cannot be . carried on advantageously without tel egraphic communication. ' V. , , Message Througa Cbioago. East of The Dalles the line Is sup posed to be open at the present time, ',' Although It may not continue open more . than a few hours after the thaw gets ' thoroughly under way, as the .volumes watea posting out of tha hills will be 'immense, and may carry out alt bridcea. , A The condition of the weather today In the Columbia river gorge is but vaguely known. There are no wires between 'Portland and up-river points, and at ' railroad headquarters . here it is not , known whether .the thaw. has . set in with sufficient power to open the flood r gates from the Columbia's tributaries along the illne of the O. R. A N. The ..' only report, on weather conditions up river was received here today by the United" States signal service, in a wire fthat came- via Chicago, Salt Laka and "' Ban Francisco. These advices said the river banks were still frosen, the stream open in the channel, and the tempera- "furs stationary. . J Passengers Beecmea. The greatest difficulty confronted by the railroad forces today is in clearing away masses of snow, ice and earth. It hat block the line at innumerable places. -A stalled passenger train hear Wyeth was yesterday rescued by General Su perintendent Buckley's forces with the aid of a rotary snowplow that had been brought from La Grande. - The train was backed te Hood River, where the passengers were fed. The Alblna' ro tary, which was started out of Portland . Sunday to clear a passage to Bonne ivllle, is sidetracked at Oneonta, without power. With, two locomotives it was 'hurled there in a snewalide from .the mountain side early In the engagement. Wherever a locomotive and. work train can be moved, forces of men are busily rengaged.in clearing the right of way. A locomotive was this morning stalled : between slides at Shell Rock, and five J other locomotives were reported' stuck between Dodson's and Bridal Veil. It Is thought some of this motive power will fee liberated during the day. 'West-bound ' trains arriving from Omaha and Spokane are being consoll- dated at The IwUtee end nl Reek: It Is thought ths management will concen trate efforts to get the line cleared .westward as far as Bonneville, and there operate the steamers from- Port- , land In connection with the trains east, until the line can be restored between .

The situation la yet very crlt lent, however, as railroad eommunlca tion with the outalde world Is complete' ,ly paralysed. .. No trains have been able to get here with the malls or the much-needed for age fot several days, and present Indl cations are thst the tleup will last sev eral days longer.

Albert Lee Thaw was asked if there had been any Insanity In his family, and said "Tea" The objection was that the blood connection between the pris oner and the defendant was too remote. The Counteas of Yarmouth, Mrs. Car negie, Mrs. William Thaw and Joseph Edward entered while Jerome was jpnlrlny M frr.t.fl Wy the pl-f- oner,. who smiled faintly. Mr. Delraas called Benjamin Bowman, doorkeeper at the Madison Square thea tre, to the stand. Bowman said he knew White and Thaw, and stated that In 10J White went to him after the show and: asked if Evelyn Neablt - had gone home. . "I tl nlm yea," continued Bowman, "and White said I was a liar, using much profanity. I told him to go In the stags door and see for himself. Re turning, he drew a revolver and showed it to me, saying .Til kill that be fore daylight' " ' . , Bowman as Id the threat was aimed at Thaw, Oanaot Stand the Testimony. Bowman' said that five days later he saw . Thaw and .told . him ,of Whte'a threat "White's face," continued the witness, "was black with anger when the threat waa made."- The Judge, after Bowman repeated the more obnoxious names that White i was said to have applied to Thaw, told the women present that If their sense of propriety was disturbed they could have an oooortunltv to leave Ihi rofltn. f Mrsr-Carnegte and thecnrntesror TarH mouth left but of over a score of women In the court only five left Mr, Jerome cross-examined and took Bowman, over the details of his life and examined him closely as to the ex act details of White's threat subse quent events, snd Ms connection with the theatre, and his Ufa since then. Mr. Jerome wanted to know if Bow man had been promised any reward for testifying. . . - "I have not" said the witness. The countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. Carnegie returned while Bowman was on cross examination. . William C. Howard, a piano dealer.' was called but was excused without giving Important testimony, and he will probably be called later. . Martin Oreen, a newspaperman, tes tified that ha was at Thaw's side Im mediately after the shooting and said that Thaws eyes were popping and Hps hanging down. Attorneys were wrang ling over the adrrllsslon of Green's opinion as to defendant's Insanity when the court announced a recess. The fsct that D. M. Delmaa waa In eharge- of Thaw's case snd thst-Mr. Oleason was merely a spectator brought the prisoner's hopes from darkness Into light at the morning session. . An ef fort to remove from the Jury's mind the disastrous Impression of Dr. Wiley's failure as an expert was made and was partially successful. Bowman was a good witness and Mr. Jerome couldn't discount his testimony. It Is apparent that Mr. Ielmaa plans to set before the Jury clearly all the details leading up to the tragedy before the attempt la made to prove Insanity. The court of appeals has held that lay witnesses could state whether the 1 act of a defendant was rational or Irra tional, and Martin Creea was recalled 170UUDS L1ADE BY BARBED WIRE - - ' c ; ; V ' Unknown Man Found on Van couver Line Evidently Was , i No Murdered.

Coroner Flnley has , decided that an Inqueat-wtll' not be necessary but the body will be held for several days, as no one has come forward up v nuun louay 10 taenury me remains. An investigation made bv InaDector Bruin and Detectives Inskeep and Price seems to show that the unfortunate man.' while demented, made his way to me piaoe where round and died from exhaustion and exposure. The lacer ated . wounds - on. the .neck. face. -and hands of ths deceased which led the police and coroner to believe that the case was one of murder, were undoubt edly made br a barbed wire fence, through which the man climbed. Detective Price found tracks leading from the scene of the- grewsome-find to a barbed wire fence about 100 yarda distant. It is ths Uioory of the author ities that the unknown man. In forcing his way into the vegetable garden be came enmeshed In the wires and In try ing to extricate himself was gashed by the barbs. Upon clambering through the fence he Is thought to have walked aimlessly through the garden, and over come by cold, sank exhausted to the ground and idled. All of the gashes on the body were superficial . and would not- have caused death from loss- of blood., r - v. ' MrsTD. M."TeW!sr"rrtlint tn-the vicinity of FarrnU'a crossing, states that she observed ' a - man' conducting himself In a mysterious manner In the direction of the railway tracks. Upon noticing a car approaching he ran toward the vegetable garden. From the condition of the body, death evidently occurred H "hours prior' to the finding of the remains and it Is thought the de ceased was the stranger seen by Mrs. Lewis. j . The dead 'man was about 49 years of sge, five feet and six inches In height, light, brown hair and sandy moustache and eyebrows. He was attired in a suit of dark goods, heavy shoes and a soft, black hat Ths coat and hat were found aes a ths fsnre through which. hal made hie way Into : the vegetable gar- den. and asked the question: "In your opinion was the defendant rational or Irrational?" " " - " Mr. Jeromf objected, but the court overruled the objection, and Green said In his opinion the defendant was irra tional.

UaCrippe Is Epidemic Catarrh. THE disease now known as "grip" used .to be called "Influenza." It very closely rejremblea a cold, but Is more tenacious In Its hold upon the system and produces more profound disturbances. , Grip is In reality epidemic catarrh. When It once begins it spreads over the country very rapidly. People do not catch the grip from each other, but each one catches It from the atmosphere. - .

"It also cured my wife of nasal ca tarrh. Her condition at one time was such that she could not at night breathe through her noatrlls. . "In consequence, an inflamed condition-of the throat was brought about, getting worse 'and worse and yielding to no remedy until Peruna waa tried,"- Heal: by Mucous Membranes. Those who are fortunate enough to have perfectly healthy mucous mem branes ordinarily do at -eateh the grip. The mucous membranes lining the nose, throat and lunga.-'when In a normal state, are an effectual barrier against the Invasion of grip. -7 But. If there happens to be the slight est catarrhal . derangement of the mucous membranes, then the victim be ; I romea an easier prey to the grip. ' This In part explains why some peo ple get the grip, while others do not. The rational thing to do Is to keep the system free from catarrh.

The doses recom mended on the bottle are sufficient After the grip has once been acquired, Dr. Hartman recommends the -use of Peruna In teaspoonful doses every hour during the acute stage, after which the directions on the bottle should be fql- lowed. - ;.
