With three electric lines on the

The big Capital anils are being

Blaluo is a four-limes bigger card

The Journal is squarely a peo

The alliance convention at Port

It is time for Salem to stop all

successful B. of T, and do a world of

Tlicro is the greatest unfairness
about tho county court tax rebate
business. Tho rich and powerful
appear with counsel and get what
they want. Tho poor devil Is kicked
out of court when ho asks a rebate.
An agricultural journal pierces

TURNEH NOTES.
I bellovo it Is generally conceded
hero that Bert Ilhodes would not
havo beeu lined for creating a dis
turbance at tho R. It. station horo,
if ho had employed propor counsel
to present his caso to tho jury.
Tho youhg man made practically
no defense and was therefore con
victed. Tho evidence showed his
ofloucc to be very trlviral.
According to tno decision of a
petit jury at Turner tho other day,
to call a man a daisy," would appear
to bo "profane language." But it is
supposed that a Turuerlte may bo
designated as a "blooming sun
flower," with impunity.
Considerable business Is being
done around Turner, raising veg

MISCELLANY.
DEATH BY ELECTRICITY.
St. Louts July 12. William Mur
phy, an electric light lineman of
thlsc'ty, whoabouttwo monthsago
received an electric Bhock of 1400
yolts moro than us,ed In the Sing
Sing execution, suffered Indescriba
ble torment and was pronounced
dead, has sufficiently recovered io-J
day to tell tho story of his agony,
llo said yesterday merning: I
know this, that In the shock I re
ceived I suffered u thoitsaud deaths. f
I would rather die this minute than
to undergo the agony again.
Every organ lu my body felt as if it
was buing torn by hundreds of
pointed Instruments. I suppose the
shook lusted less than a second, but
it seemecr to mo that I was praying
for death to corao for hours before
tho pain left me. "When I recovered
consciousness I thought I was In
another world."
"In view of your experience with
3000 volts of electricity, what do you
think of tho execution of tho four
men at Sing Sing?"
"Why, it was simply damnable.
Every ono of those meu suffered as I
did. Each went through tho samp,
aud perhaps greater torment. It
was the perfection of cruelty, All
tho assertions of tho witnesses to the
contrary will not mako mo believe
that theso men'had a painless death.
Why, common sense is all against it,
1 received n sovero shock of 80C0
volts. Tho register at ithe time
showed tho fact beyond a dpubt. I
only felt the shock for the fractional
part of a second aud then I was nn- '
conscious, practically dead. Suppot a
another 3000 volts had been sent ir.
tn, my body, and kept surging
through it for half a minute, as was
tho caso at Sing Sing? Of coune It
would luwo hilled me, but lu tie
meantime, in the interval between
my first eoutact with tho wire, I
suffered an agony which no one but
a fiend would compel tho woist
villain to undergo. ItVaa thosune
way with Smlier, Slocum, "Wod
and Jugrlo. It probably took longer''
for the current to render them un
conscious becauso tho voltage was
but little over half as much as J
received. Yet during that time
thoy 8U fibred enough to atone for all
the sins that havo been committed
slnco the creation of tho world. I
am ono of the few living men who
can speak with authority on the
subject, because to all Intents and
purposes I sutlered death by elec
tricity and know what It is."
