Wreckers
Special to the Evening Review.

Wife Murderer Swings,
SAN QUENTIN, Calif., Jan. 8.
"Sacred heart of Jesus, have mercy
on my soul," were the words spoken
Ina firm voice, by Thos. P. Fallon,
the wife murderer, as the noose was
slipped about his neck on the prison
sca'ffold here this morning. Twelve
minutes later he was pronounced
dead. He prayed audfbly as ho was
marched from the cell to the gallows.
Fallon killed his faithless wife four
years ago,- but the earthquake and
fire destroyed the court records,
hence the long delay before the execution.

fTfrlE FOREMOST DRY, GOODS ESTABLISHMENT OF SOUTHERN OREGON
Cnivlwstu'HS Causes Wreck,
BKLLINGI1AM, Wash., Jan. 8.
Investigation today indicates that it
was the carelessness of the yard crew
and not the work of train wreckers,
which is responsible for the accident
last night which resulted in the death
of Fireman Ed. Stewart and the ser
ious Injury of two other men. By
striking an open switch a Great
Northern passenger engine and bag
gage car plunged Into Bellingham
Bay. In addition to the foregoing
casualties the trestle was wrecked.
The- engine lies almost completely
submerged In the bay,, the mail car
and baggage coach are smashed to
bits and the smoker Is derailed. The
injured are Engineer Jack Bailey,
both legs crushed, amputation nec
essary; Mail Clerk George L. Rhodes,
right shoulder dislocated. Both are
from Seattle. Express Messenger Nel
son escaped by a miracle.
'ihe fireman's body sank with the
engine and was not recovered. The
engineer went under,, but came to
the surface and struck out for a pil
ing and there clung until he was res
cued by a rowboat. The passengers
were badly shaken up, but none of
them were Injured. Seventy-five peo
ple were aboard the train.

ago at Napavine.
O'Connell BosfK Substitute.
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 8. Jack
Peterson, who was advertised to meet
Eddie O'Connell, the Multnomah
wrestler, failed to appear last night
and a wrestler whose name Is snid
to be Joe LaSalle and from Chicago,
was substituted. LaSalle won the
first fall, but O'Connell got the other
two.
Peterson's failure to appear is said
to be due to his Inability to make
the prescribed weight of 160 pounds.
Many persons claim that the man was
not Peterson, the Swedish middle
weight champion, but Charley Oleson,
the champion heavyweight wrestler
of Canada.

lXAVCirilATlOV OF
GOV. UKNEKX KKLI) VV,
Friends Refuse to Canvass Vote, Fear
ing Plot to Oust Him Stnte
Water Right at Stake.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 7. The
inauguration of Governor Charles
S. Deueen and the other state offic
ers elected November 3 has been post
poned Indefinitely, and the legislative
wheels are at a standstill. The In
auguration was set for next Monday.
This Is the latest sensation In one of
the bitterest political fights In the
history of old-timers. Friends of
Gov. Deneen today refused to join
with the republican-democratic alli
ance In the House to canvass the vote
cast at the November election.
The Inauguration cannot take place
until the- vote Is canvassed. The
election of a United States senator or
any business other than perfecting an
organization in the legislature can
not be carried on until the vote Is
canvassed.
Friends of Governor Deneen refus
ed to canvass the vote, believing that
a plot was abroad to spring a resolu
tion calling for a recount of the bal
lots In the threatened attempt to oust
Governor Deneen, should the canvass
be taken up today.
Big stakes are in the plany against
Governor Deneen, say old-timers.
Centered In the fight against the gov
ernor Is the control of millions to
be used In developing the deep wu
terway In Illinois, Bay men who are
familiar with the waterways plans.
The adoption .of the $20,000,000 bond
Issue by the people at the November
election makes this amount available.
The Commonwealth Edison Company
and the Economy Light & Power Co.
are said to be Interested in the wa
terway controversy and the develop
ment of valuable water-power rights
In the Desplalnes river between Jol
let and Utica.
Administration leaders here de
clare that Roger C. Sullivan is lead
ing the democratic end of the fight
for control of water power by the
electric lighting interests. They as
sert there is a move afoot for state
wide control of lighting interests.
The charge has been made that n
"trust" enterprise Is under contem
plation that will be able to gobble
up all valuable-rights that would be
available in the development of a
ship cannl.

Foregoing Is a complete summary
of the business done by the Roseburg
postoffice during the past three years
These figures are from the quarterly
reports of Postmaster C. W. Parks
and ore therefore oftlcinl. As an un
mistakable index or the progress and
growth of this city this showing Is
very gratifying. The business trans
acted during the year 1908 shows nn
advance of 12 per cent over that of
1907, and over 25 per cent advance
over 1906. A growth of 25 por cent
In two years In any town Is surely
"going some." It must he under
stood that this is purely a normal
growth, there having been nothing
whatever of a siwcinl nntnre to boost
the postolllce business outsldo of the
real growth or the town nnd county.
Neither has there been anything In
the nature of a boom of anv kind. It
has been a solid, substantial growth
from year to yenr.
This showing also proves conclus
ively that Itosehurg and Douglas
county felt no serious effect of the
eastern financial flurry of a year ago.
Doubtless a still better showing
would have been made, were we not
handicapped by Inconvenient train
schedules. One of the through trains
south of here each way every day
was cut off at the time of the flurry
and hns never been replaced.- Then
under the present arrongement one
of the southbound trains reaches here
at such a time thnt the postolllce
windows are closed for an hour In
what should be nbout the busiest
tlmo In each forenoon. This, no
doubt, cuts off nn appreciable amount
of revenue. Yet. In Bplte of these
handicaps, this office has made a gain
of over 25 per cent in the past two
years.
Delivery System Needed
According to the above figures,
Roseburg has been entitled to a free
delivery mall system within the city
limits ever since Dec. 31. 1906. While
we are still waiting for this, it Is
mainly the city's own fnult in not
having tho street namcB properly
placed at each street crossing and
the houses properly numbered. A
postal Inspector was here some
months ago for the express purpose
of examining the local conditions as
regards the establishing of this free
mall delivery. He found nil the nec
essary requirements except as herein
stated, and he told a Review repre
sentative at that time thnt he would
recommend to the postofflco depart
ment that tho freo delivery service be
established here Just as soon as this
street names and house numbering
matter was properly complied with.
Neither has yet been done and every
one who expects to receive or send
mall nuiBt go to the postoffice to get
It done, Unless this matter Is at
tended to right away It is probable
that we shall have to wait for an
other year, until another Inspector
mnkes an examination and report, be
fore we can secure ihe establishment
of this service. Let us have this.
along with the street paving, good
roads and other Improvements, and
put Roseburg out of the village class,
make It a progressive, modern city
With these advantages Instead of our
splendid growth of 26 per jent In
two years, that advance will he more
than duplicated within 'he coming
year.

Finer's Recommendation Aetl on
by War Department Infantry
to 1h ImmLsed Also. '
PORTLAND, Or., Jnn. 7. In ac-
- cordiuice with recommendations sub-
. muted recently to the War Depnrt
jment hy Adjutant-General W. K. Fln
i zer, of the Oregon National Guard,
! instructions were received at Guard
headquarters yesterday for the or
ganization of a full company of Coast
Artillery at Marshticld at as early a
Su
g authorization from
the War Department, General Flnzer
at once took up the planB for the
coos way company. Ho will torn
zens of that place who are. willing
to enter tho service. Plans for an
armory were also ordered drawn up,
to he forwarded to Marshticld, for it
is Imposed upon that community to
establish a building suitable for ar-
structure there at this time.
MarshMeld Is the second coast town
to get a coast artillery organization,
the first having gone to Astoria. The
Marshlleld rostor must bear not lesB
than 58 names. These men will be
furnished everything in the way of
equipment by the United States gov
ernment., The equipment includes
the new service rifles, It being neces
sary for heavy artillery to bo drilled
for operations as infantry. An out
lay of approximately $5000 will be
required to launch the new Organiza
tion and the whole bill Is footed by
uncle snm.
In nddltton to probnhle new coast
artillery companies, at least four
companies of infantry are to be or
ganized during 1909, In order to
comply with the reorganization or
der issued by the War Department.
The location of these four companies
is a matter yet to be Bettled. Nearly
every enterprising town of any size
tn the state is after one. One condi
tion hereafter to be Imposed will bo
the construction of a suitable ar
mory structure. TIiIb may bo erect
ed either hy the town or by private
parties and will bo rented by the
state for use as an armory. Inasmuch
as $5000 worth of government
equipment goes with every new com
pany. It Is not intended hereafter to
Intrust this property to the inade
quacies of leaky or flimsy buildings.
