The Schofleld Murddr Mystery Cleared
: ' ' . . l"p. .
San Jose, Cal., Aug. 14. The mystery
of the death of George W. Schofleld, the
farmer who was .killed last Saturday,
was cleared away today by the confes
sions of Daniel Dutcher and Irving Mann ,
both accused of complicity in the crime.
Mann confessed first while proceeding
to the preliminary examination held at
Madrone, and later in the day Dutcher
substantiated Mann's story. ,
It appears that Schofleld had threaten
ed to kill the household, on Friday night
in a family row precipitated by the re
fusal of Mrs, Schofleld to sanction the
mortgaging of the farm so that Schofleld
could go to ; the Klondike, and that
Dutcber shot at Schofleld, bat the latter
bad not returned the fire, and the family
went to bed. Early on Saturday morn
ing, uutcber who baa laten nis rme . to
his room was awakened by a renewal of
the trouble, and saw Schofield chasing
his wife around the yard with a shotgun
in his hands. To protect her life,

Mr, James Jones,' of the drag firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111.,' in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery,, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. ' It seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. ' Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a .; bottle
borne, and to the surprise of all she be
gan to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound
and well. Dr. Kirg's New Discovery

duel fought with Count of Turin, passed

"It was simply heartrending,
never saw such a desolate scene."
Mr. A. Cole, who ranches on Bntter
creek, was not speaking of some accident
when he made this remark. Grasshop
pers, the humble yet destructive grass
hoppers, , were the subject of his con
versation. ,
He says that no idea can be formed by
one unfamiliar with the facts, of the de
struction wrought by these winded ter
rors on Butter creek. They took every
green thing, leaving the ranchmen with'
out a patch of grass or a pound of hay
to feed their stock. They came in'clouds
that obscured the sun, aud left ruin, dis
may and blight.
Mr. Cole succeeded in saving about
one-fourth his crop of wheat and barley
hay, but bad to fight for it. He is more
fortunate than most of his fellow-ranch
ers. lor be has part of preceding crops The merchant who tells you he has

At the late meeting of the Oregon
grand lodge, A. O. U. W., some very
important changes were made in the
method of levying assessments, by
adopting a graduated system already in
force in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
New York and Illinois and seven or
eight other, states. The new arrange
ment goes into effect January 1, 1898.
It is estimated that eight assessments a
year will be required to meet the de
mands of the beneficiary fund. Pro
vision is also made for the creation of a
permanent contingent fund for which
an, extra assessment is required, making
nine in all. 1 Under the graded system
members will be required to pay as fol
lows:
1 Assessment 9 Assessments
18 to 24 years $1 20 $10 80
25 to 29 " 1 30 11 70
30 to 34 " 1 44 12 96
35 to 39 " 1 66 ' . 14 94
40 to 44 ' 2 02 18 18
45 to 49 " 2 62 23 58
50 and over 3 66 , 32 04
A new feature was adopted bv the
Oregon grand lodge that is distinctively
ita own, whereby members over 50 years
of age having been connected with the
order twenty years are placed upon a re
tired list and required to pay not less
than two, nor more . than five assess
ments per year. .
Great Work of McDuffee and
; Charles Blver Park. .
Boston. Auk. 14. At Charles River
Park today, Eddie McDuffee established
a new world's record for a paced mile,
flying start, at 1 minute 33 1-5 seconds,
lowering the record held by W. W. Ham
ilton by one second. Michael and his
American hour record were also beaten,
and, standing where Michael recently
stood, is Lecerno Lena, with a bunch of
records containing all American ' marks
from 11 to 36 miles and also the Ameri
can hour record. '
McDuffee was paced by a sextuplet and
a quintet, while Lena's pacing team con
sisted of IS men, divided into four
squads of two quads and two quintets.
Lena made anew hour record of 30 miles,
1030 yards, 10 inches.
A Century Road Record Broken.
Nbw York, Aug. 14. A. W. Evans,
the New York Athletic Club wheelman,
today broke the state 100-mile road rec
ord of New Jersey, by riding the distance
in 5 hours 1 minute and 43 seconds.
The course was two round trips from
Elizabeth to New Brunswick.
Bravado Never Failed Him.
Folsom, Cal., Aug. 13. With a smile
on his lips, James Berry, the negro who J
murdered his wife at Modesto, May 19,
plunged to bis death through the trap
of the gallows at 10 o'clock this morning.
Berry refused to accept consolation
from the prison chaplain, and declined
to listen to the reading of the warrant,
telling Warden Aull he would save him
the trouble. Berry walked briskly to
the gallows and nodded pleasantly to a
friend and was soon dangling at the end
of the rope.
The Penalty For Dueling.
London, Aug. 16. A special from
Rome says it is reported the pope will
ex-communicate Prince Henry of Or
leans and the Count of Turin,' as duel
ing is forbidden by the Roman Catholic
church. ' .

In nine capes out of ten the trouble is
with the digestive organs. . If you can
restore them to a healthy condition you
will stop the waste, put on new : flesh
and cause them to feel better in every
way. The food they eat will be digested
and appropriated to the needs of the
system, and a normal appetite will ap
