Frank Miller, Alias Meyer, io
Jail at Sissoo. Calif.2
MAKES FULL CONFESSION
WalTes Eitridltlui aid Will Reliiu

Frank Miller, known to tho Rose
burg public the past few days as Geo.
P. Meyer, through his pretended ne
gotiations for tbe purchase of the
Hotel McClallen, Is In the custody of
tbe law following his sudden flight
from this city Thursday morning.
Late Thursday evening a telegram
from ConBtable D. W. Rlnckel, of Sis
son, Calif., announced that the fugi
tive had been arrested in that city.
Tbe telegram was addressed to the
Sheriff, who happened to be out of
town, and It was delivered to Con
Btable J. N. Ryan, who left on the
southbound overland train this morn
ing to secure Miller and bring him
back to this city.
Ryan Is armed with a warrant is
sued out of the Justice Court, which
gives blm the necessary authority to
carry out the purpose of bis trip.
That he will encounter no legal ob
structions at Sisson Is Indicated by a
second telegram from the Constable
there, which Is worded as follows:
"Frank Miller has confessed and
is willing to go back without extradi
tion. He had $207.90 on him."
When Miller arrives here he will
be arraigned before Justice Long on a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses, based on Miller's
transaction at the First National
Bank In this city last Monday, when
he secured $76, under the name of
Meyer, on a draft on the Ladd & Til
ton Bank, In Portland. Such a crime
is punishable by Imprisonment In the
pes' f.entlary tor two years.
Miller Has a Record.
M'ller Is not a novice In the swlndl
lng business, according to Informs
tlon in the possession of Sheriff Fen
ton. ' He is reported to be the man
wanted for recent criminal transac
tions in Eugene and Salem and also
In California. That he Is wanted In
California would explain his willing
hess to return to Oregon without
extradition proceedings. Sheriff Fen
ton was notified ten days ago by
Sheriff Mlnto, of Marlon county, to
be on the lookout for Miller, but he
never "tumbled" to the fact that
Miller was the man who was passing
hlmBelf off under the name of Meyer.
Another Interesting fact In connec
tion with the case Is that the swindler
registered under the name of Frank
Miller when he first appeared at the
Hotel McClallen on the 18th of this
month. This was not discovered tin
til an examination of the register was
made today.
Atty. A. N. Orcutt returned from
Portland this morning, having sue
ceeded In recovering the $9800 worth
of telephone bonds belonging to the
Drain bank, and which nave oeen
"missing" since the failure of the
Title Guarantee ft Trust Co. bank in
Portland two years ago. He not only
. secured recovery of the bonds, but
$980 accumulated Interest thereon
He also recovered telephone company
stock of the face value of I49UU
which Is also owned by the Drain
bank. Litigation over this affair has
been nendinc nearly ever since these
bonds were "lost," but now the mat
ter has been fully settled, to the full
credit and benefit of the Drain oanK.
All nations are endeavoring to
check the ravages of consumption

many victims each year. Foley's
Honev and Tar cures coughs and
eolds perfectly and you are in no dan

Finch. Ark., writes: "I know thst
Foley's Honey and Tar has cured
consumption In the early stages." Do
not risk your health by taking some
unknown preparation when roieyi
Honey and Tar Is safe and certain In

Careful nperlnients which have
been made show that the interest on
the money Invested in a machine shed
amounts to about one-half tbe Item

tion from the weather.
In nine cases but of ten It is more
than likely that If there is a real
boy" problem to solve in tbe home
there Is a "father" problem that is
mora or less closely connected with It,
and It is tbe existence of this latter
problem that makes tbe first one so
perplexing and so difficult of solu
tion. Many a man offers aa an excuse for
not taking some good farm paper that
he doesn't hare time to read it it Is
barely possible thnt if be took a good
paper and devoted a little time to
careful reading along the lines In
which he la Interested be would be
able to work to better advantage as
result of keeping posted on tbe best
ways of doing bis work so that be
would make up the time spent in
reading and have a little extra
leisure for some other vital and often
neglected Interests.
A western state experiment station
has been making some tests in tbe
use of snow for poultry as a substi
tute for water. Not taking into ac
count tbe decided saving of time
wblcb resulted from not having to
water the poultry, It was found that
young hens laid even better when
:lven snow in place of water, while
the case of old bens there was
found to be a Bllitbt decrease In egg
production. For little chicks the feed
ing of snow proved to be disastrous.
their constitutions evidently being too
tender to withstand tbe cold of tbe
mow taken Internally.
Many farm owners In Ohio, Michi
gan nud Indiana, having reclaimed
cbe bulk of the lowland on their hold-
hgs by means of systems of tiling, are
tow engaged In laying tile on the high
land. It having been demonstrated
bat this tends to furnish an effective
lysteni of underground drainage and
greatly aids in the circulstlon of the all
hrough the soli, a fact to which an
hcreasing Importance la being attacb-
d. Tbe situation referred to is one
bat farmers living In newer ststes
ylng farther west might well take
nto account when In tbe process of
Ulng their lower lands. It might in
:be long run be economy to do both
ypes of tiling at the same time.
It is pretty safe to assume, what
ever notions one may bave as to tbe
care of stock, that they will do best
when provided with comfortable quar
tersthis having to do with dry and
clean rather than especially warm
sleeping quarters. Animals are pro
vided by nature with about all tbe
lothes they need, their coats being
changed to suit the different seasons
of tbe year. Conpled with tbls fact
note should be taken of bow careful
both domestic and wild animals are
In the matter of seeking dry and
lean resting quarters, and this is no
ticeable even In tbe case of tbe hog.
which Is considered one of the filth

TRUTHFUL REPORTS.

A Roseburg cltlxen tells bis expert
ence In the following statement. No
better evidence than this can be
had. Tbe truthful reports of friend
and neighbors Is the best proof in tho
world. Read and be convinced.
O. A. Houser, North Roseburg, Or.
says: Nearly every winter 1 Bad con
siderable trouble from a sore and
lame back and when doing any work
that caused a strain, I noticed that
the trouble was worse. During one
of these attacks I went to the Mar
sters Drug Co., and procured a box
of Doan's Kidney Pills. I found such
great relief In a short time that
did not consider It necessary to fin
Ish tbe contents of the one box. My
back was greatly strengthened and
although I bave been working hard
ever since, there has been no sign
of a return of the trouble. I bave no
hesitation In recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills."

SERVICE TO BEGIN JUNE 15
wo tegular. Carriers and One Substi
tute to Coislltile tbe Delivery
Force at Beginning -
OREGOmAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washincton, Apr. 29-On June 15 city
free delivery will be Inaugurated at
Roseburg, with two letter carriers
and one substitute.
The foregoing special dispatch, which
appeared in this morning's Portland
Oregonlan, brings good news to Rose
burg's progressive people. Several
weeks ago every block In the city was
officially numbered and most of the
business houses and residences have
already had their respective num
bers placed thereon, In compliance
with the ordinance providing there
for. An order for the manufacture
of a complete set of metal street
names, to be placed at each street
crossing, was given to a Chicago firm
about a month ago and these should
arrive here soon and put In place In
ample time for the execution of the
order for the beginning of the free
delivery mall service within tbe city
limits. Letter boxes win also be
nlaced at convenient points through
out the city, for the deposit or letters
etc., obviating the necessity for'fre-
ouent trlns to the nostofflce whenever
letters or other matter Is to be mail
ed.
Property ownerB must understand,
however, that mall will not be deliv
ered at houses which are not properly
numbered, nor at any place which Is
not supplied with sidewalk's. These
requirements should be fulfilled
oromntlr. If It has not already been
done, so the Inspector for the P. O.
denartment will have no hesitancy in
reporting the conditions fully com-
nlled with here for Btartlng the ser
vice. Rosoburg's nostofflce business
has been sufficient for the establish
ment of free mall delivery for over
two years past and it Is gratifying to
learn that the system Is to be started
Ithln the next few weeks. Free
mall delivery gives any town con
siderable prestage and It Is given
more consideration by the postofflce
department than places not in the
free delivery class. More Clerical
force will be allowed In the postofflce
for rapid handling of the malls, and
the overcrowded condition In regard
to P. O. boxes will be In a measure
relieved by the free delivery.
