"Best WV'vi' Had on the Trip!"
That's ihu expression of the Port
land business men regarding Ihelr
reception and entertainment in Rose
lung for two hours this morning.
After three days of receptions,
b;iiniuets anil entertainment galore,
it is no insignificant matter to really
entertain a large party of excursion
ists in a manner "worth while." Af
ter such a pilgrimage through the
entire length of Western Oregon
and then some it certainly requires
"something different" to make the
visitors "sit u" and take notice."
But the excursionists found that
"something different" in Roseburg
and were unstinted in their words
of appreciation. The profusion of
Ilosebarg Hoses, fresh and fragrant,
with which the visitors Mvere pre
sented, gave them an entirely now
conception of the possibilities of
Douglas county.

ness Men's Excursion was greeted
with music by the local band and the
henri-fyanndclasps of numerous citi
zens. They were at once escorted to
the Elks' Hall where cigars and
punch were served and a brief wel
come address made by Dr. A. C.

the excellent receptions accorded the
party and the splendid counLry which
they had seen, and of which none ex

by reading the following poem:

visitors were delighted with this sec
tion of the country and remarked
upon the good condition of our roads
the best they had found on the
trip. Our paved streets and decora
tive street lamps evoked much fav
orable comment and the Roseburg
Roses brought exclamations of de
light during the entire visit. They
had nowhere seen roses to at all
compare in beauty and profusion
with those which are here on all
sides today. This wonderful climate
alone should bring thousands upon
thousands of new people to Douglas
county every year, lo make perma
nent homes. The Portland gentle
men never before realized what a
favored spot this is until this trip
had demonstrated to them this
superiority over every other locality,
either north or south. The visitors
were also substantially impressed
with the fact that Roseburg and
Douglas county are spending a quar
ter of a million dollars this year In
building paved streets and good
roads. Tills Is progress that counts.

During the absence of the visitors
from their train, the ladies of the
.city, led by the Ladies' Auxiliary of
the Commercial Club, decorated the
interior of every car with roses and
other flowers in great profusion.
This proved a splendid surprise for
the visitors and they expressed their
appreciation with rousing cheers.
Other surprises awaited the excur
sionists even after their departure
for there were also placed on the
train during their absence a tin

Jurors May Kmell Poison.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 28. "It
has been the practice of the attorney
for the defense to do things almost
criminal In this case," said Judge
Latshaw today in overruling the ob
jection of B. C. Hyde's lawyerB to
the permission granted to Druggist
Becklein to allow the Jurors to smell
of capsules containing cyanide of
potassium, the kind of polBon Dr.
Hyde Is alleged to have given Col.
Swope under the guise of digestive
tablets. "The notes of the grand
jury proceedings have been found in
your possession," Judge Latshaw
went on, "and you have no cause for
complaint of the methods employed
In this trial. There will be wide lati
tude from now on in the admlBsinn
of evidence."
Tom Swope, nephew of the mur
dered millionaire, testified that on
the night of December 1 8 he saw Dr.
Hyde, while near the Swope home,
drop something and then step on It.
After Hyde went on the witness said
he picked up the object, which
proved to be a pill box containing
two capsules. He Bays the odor of
the capsules was similar to the cyan
ide of potassium produced In evi
dence by Druggist Becklein.
Hyde's usual smile was missing to
day, following a night in jail because
Judge Latshaw revoked his $100,
000 bond.
This action means that Hyde must
remain In prison until he la declared
Innocent by a Jury, or is permitted by
the court to furnish a now bond.
