Coroner Jewett'a Jury was unable to find the cause of the ex plosion of the locomotive boiler at Hire Hill last Thursday, which re united in the deaths of Engineer M. HI. Hartlett and Fireman A. S. Ader ton. The verdict of the jury was filed Hlwutly before noon today. It says: " t "The miw nf dentil of Hurt let t jiikI Adt-rton uat (lie shock from tin 'explosion of the Unilcr of engine No. li.";N.

A transcript of the evi dence, all of which was recorded In Khorthand. will lie forwarded at once to the Slate Railroad Commission, together with a copy of the verdict. Federal niertorM Silent. The Coroner's jury was made none I the wiser by the inspection of the wreeked locomotive by Federal Agents Martin and Mrown. Standing on their legal prerogative they de clined to offer any evidence on the result of their examination. They will make a report direct to the chief nf the inspection bureau at Wash ington. The law in this regard Is that inspectors are not to make pub lic their findings about wrecks when. In their opinion, there is likelihood of damage suits ensuing. The fact, however, that they may see fit to withhold from the public their find ings does not necessarily mean that there is ground for action for dam ages. There may be other reasons, and the Inspectors are permitted to use their own discretion. State Kail road Commissioner Frank Miller participated In person at the Inquest, and he may make a vital announce ment later. Iaw Water Theory Strengthened. So far as the railroad company Is concerned, it Is settled that the ex plosion was due to low water In the boiler. This was the explanation given at the inquest last week by Traveling Kngineer K. C. Morris, af ter a minute inspection of the crown sheet of the firebox. He was fully corroborated during the closing hour of the inquest this morning by a Mr. Kaughlin. expert mechanic In the employ of Twohy Urothers, engine manufacturers and railroad builders. He stated that the water level in the boiler was from seven to nine Inches below the crown sheet. This was shown, he said, by the line of coloring on the crown sheet by In tense heat to which it had been sub jected. The bolts that held the crown sheet in place were found solid and intact. iOVKKNMKXT APPKAI.S II. -K. CO. I'ATENT CASK. PORTLAND. Or..

A ' motion to appeal was filed in the I'nlted States Court yesterday by Uni ted States District Attorney McCourt, and was allowed by Federal Judge Bean. The complaint was dismissed ! In the lower court. I In making hla motion Mr. McCourt alleges that the lower court erred, because the evidence in the case proved a conspiracy existed to de fraud the Government, and that therefore the title to the land held by the lumber company should have been cancelled. The four patents bear date of August 3, 1904, and were originally Issued to Stephen A., Alice, Ethel M. and Lucy La Raut. They deeded the land to the lumber company. Edward Jordan Is made a party to the suit. LOCAL MKYVS. Geo. W. Shrura was down from Glide on business today. Mrs. J. R. Richardson was over from the Lower Calapoola today. S. M. Heath, E. R. Walker.

The woman who was wat.:hlng him didn't seem astonished. You see, she knew the rug was clean. She had just gone over It lightly with a Blssell Sweeper. She knew. too. that the soft, thick, heavy pile in the rug would not be hurt by the train of cars and other Instruments with sharp corners. She had bought one of our splendid Wilton rugs at a bargain price due to a careful buy of ours. The rug was baby's play Bpot every afternoon.

IIEGGAR, AltltKSTEl), HAS I70 IX HIS CLOTHES. Forgets He In "Dumb" When Officer Fenton Jails lltin and Emits Volley of Curst. Pretending that he was dumb, as well as deaf, John Voyce proved that he did not belle his name when City, Marshal Fenton arrested him In the act of begging on a Southern Pacific train In Roseburg Monday evening.; Voyce Immediately found his tongue and cursed the officer, who searched the mendicant at the Jail and found In his pocket $170 In good United States money. The inconsistency went even further, Voyce's pockets yielding the business cards of a num ber of "wet" resorts throughout the country together with a letter from some deceived person Instructing him how to read the New Testament. Jn the police court this morning Voyce plead guilty to a charge or disorderly conduct and paid a fine of $10. Then he got out of town on the first train. Though not dumb, Voyce's organs of speech are so af flicted that he can talk only con stantly for a few seconds at a time. In that period, however, if he Is an gry, he can make the vocabulary of a pirate sound like a Sunday school sermon In comparison. This Is tes tified to not only by Marshal Fenton. but by the railroad man who put Voyce off the train previous to his arrest. Voyce had been begging about Roseburg for several days. IIOl Sh'WOKK HKST All) TO HEALTH AXI1 BEAl'TY CAMIIHIDOK. Mass., April 8. Housework is the magic elixir that will make women's figures beautiful. according: to Dr. Dudley A. Sargent Harvard's physical culture expert w ho has been a Judge of perfect hu man forms for the past decade. He says: "Where a woman does her own housework, with its manifold varie ties ot physical requirements, nearly every muscle In the body may be brought Into action In the course of the day. Nothing is better for the development of the large muscles of the thighs or for the reduction of the fat about this region than running up and down strairs. No better method can be devised for streng thening the chest and straightening the spine than In scrubbing floors on the hiindB and knees, especially If the left arm as well as the right be Used. "Kneading bread Is a specific for a rinely shaped forearm and an hour's work at the washboard is not surpassed as a developer of the u per arms and back and shoulders." Iloo.F. NOTES. Women of Kxcelslor, Minn., are planning. If necessary, to keep the village "dry." to purchase the Baloon licenses at $1500 each. The forma tion ot this plan comes as the result of the recent election in Excelsior, which went "wet" after several years of prohibition. After telling his landlady today he intended to end his life. George Carl son, a Chicago printer, purchased .10 bottles of whisky. Later he was found unconscious beside eight emp ty bottles. He was fined for at tempting suicide by drinking the liquor. Fergus Falls. Minn., citizens ar wondering whether the town Is to be wef or 'dry,' and If W. H. Mr Bride is really Mayor or will have to surrender his chair to K. L. Nel son. At the elertlon last Tuesday the vote stood 54i In favor of license, ti'iu against, and 87 blanks. It has been discovered that under the char ter a majority of all votes cast must he airniiiKt Hr-ense in order tn n re vent ' the Kale of liquor, so the blanks were counted the same as If cast for li cense, and the city was pronounced "wet." Moth candidates for Mayor received 603 votes, but Mcllrlde. the "no licens" candidate, won the cast ing of lots. Three of eight aldermen are opposed to license, and Mcltrlde. It Is expected, will veto any license proposition. In addition, Nelson, who lost by lot, says he will contest the flection. New Madrid. Mo,, overflowed by , the Mississippi to a dfpth of several feet, is nevertheless "dry." At least. : the drys won in a local option eler ! tlon Saturday. The voters came to 1 the polls in skiffs, in motor launches ! and on rafts, and when the rubber- booted election clerks completed theli" count. It was shown that the "wets" were beaten by 300 votes.

IWhTP ll II II VAN nunmi 1 ILL W O All Sides Claim Victory Fraud Charges Rampant POLITICAL WORKER STABBED Womjn Shoots HihtULd for Refusing to Vote lor Suffrage Ux&ii Warm for Li Folleitt (Special to the Evening Review). CHICAGO. April 9. Marked by ideal weather, two traulcal events. and wholesale churges of fraud. Chicago, In common with the rest of the Mute of Illinois, is casting th. heaviest vote in her history at to day's primaries. The Roosevelt and Taft managers each claim their can didate will carry every district in the state and the La Kollette men pre dict that the Wisconsin Senator will' carry Just as many districts as Taft. Aside from the selection of candi dates, the voters also have before them the question of granting the ballot privilege to women. Workers for this cause are out in full force today and one domestic tragedy ou account of It was recorded this morning. Charles Hitchey, a pho tographer, sneered at the request of his wife to vote for the suffrage pro posal, and she shot him five times through the arms and legs. The wounds will not prove fatal. Over on the West Side, Thomas O'Hrien, a political worker, was stabbed by three unidentified men, who escaped. O'Brien will probably die. Before the polls were open an hour, hundreds of charges of illegai voting reached the election super vising committee, despite the vigi lance of thousands of deputies placed on duty to irevetit frauds. Spli: .tiny Win for Taft. Had the primaries been held three weeks ago. Roosevelt would have I made a formidable showing, but his cause has been losing ground rapid- ly. La Follette will cut down his .strength heavily In the northern part or tne state. The fear of the Roosevelt men Is that Senator La Folletie will have enough friends among the Republl ca n prog ressf ves of 1 1 1 1 n ois to so split the Insurgent vote us to enable Taft to win out. The progressives are admittedly far more numerous in Illinois than the Lorlmer-Lincoln League followers. On the Democratic side Wood row, Wilson a pi tears to he the leader, al though Champ Clark will display great strength. For Governor, on the Republican side. It Is Heneen against a field of seven. Ieneen'a campaign has been against "Lorimerism," and his chief opponent Is Len Small, the Lorlmer candidate. The opponents of Gov ernor Deneen have repeatedly de clared that he is the enemy of Lorl mer only during campafgns. On the Democratic aid the battle seems to be between Samuel Alwhul er, the Hearst candidate, and Edward K. Dunne, ex-Mayor of Chlrago. There are six other candidates in the field, but they merely make up the scenery. Never has there been so much con fusion and noise or so much money spent. There are about eight can didates for every county and state office and It Is estimated that In excess of $2,000,000 has been ijent In various ways. S. V. lU PUU M H CONVENE REAL WORK TOMORROW. ROCHESTER. April 9. Republi can machine workers opening the state convention here today sid steped the question of litstrurrlng the four delegate at large for Taft. The session was devoted to organiza tion and th drafting of a platform Nicholas Murray Butler, the chair man, addressed the assembly, arter which it adjourned un'll tomorrow. Chairman Butler Is understood to be for Taft. although he Is a per sonal friend of Colonel Roosevelt, and was manager of Roosevelt a in terests In the National convention in Philadelphia In Iftnn. when the Col onel was nominated for the Vice presidency New York State will hav 0 dele gates In the National convention this number Including the four d gates at large to be rhoweii tntnor- Diamonds Fine, brilliant, one-fourth car- raj perfect white diamond for $30.00 at J. T. Bryan's row. It Is alleged that the dele gates at large will be William Uarnes. Jr., state chairman; United States senator Ellhu Root, J. Gould Schurman, president of Cornell, and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia. Butler und Schurman have been largely in charge of the drafting of the platform, which Is understood to give enthusiastic indorsement to the administration of President Taft, and to declare against the recall o judges or any change In the present Judicial system. XEHKASKA CITIES SI SI'EM) TO HEAR LA KOLI.ETTK. HOLDREDGE, Neb., April 9. School has been dismissed and busi ness houses are closed in several Nebraska cities today to permit the school children and business men hear Robert M.

Pros pecta In California for La Folletie could not be better. He will carry the state easily. Governor Johnson'3 switch from La Folletie to Roose velt has been refuted by the people In their love for fair play. This Is tne summary of Walter Houser, Na tion campaign manager for La Fol lette, of the political alt nation In California. Houser Is going to stump Oregon for La Follette. He spoke here last night. LA FOLLETTE MEN CONFIDENT OF WINNING NEBRASKA. SAN FRANCISCO. April 9 The La Follette headquarters here re ceived the following telegrum today from John Cannon, secretary to La Follette: "La Follette Is setting the Nebras ka prairiea afire. Politicians here expect a big victory for him at the primaries." .MORE TYPHOID IN I NITEO STATES THAN PLAGl F. AND CHOLERA IN FOREIGN LANDS. It la rather startling to he told that In 1809 there were more cases of typhoid In the I'nlted States, with a population not half as large as that of Imllu, than there were cases or plague In India; and that there were four times as many cases of typhoid in the United States as cases of cholera in Russia during a period including the epidemic of 1910. These figures are taken from an article by McLaughlin of the Marine Hospital Service, who says that we consider with apprehension the countries In which cholera and plague occur frequently and call them pest-ridden countries, but do not consider the problem of typhoid .'ever in our own country with suffl fienl seriousness. He gives tables to show that within the registration area In the United States. In fifty cities having an aggregate popula tion of over 20.000.000 the average typhoid death rate for 1910 waa 2' per hundred thousand Inhabitants In one city In that year It amounted to M',,7 Pr hundred thousand, and In several cities It amounted to 4. and more. In ten of the large-it cities In Northern Europe, compris ing a population of 1 5,000,000, the average tvpboid death rate per hund red thousand of population du ring a period of ten years, from 1 ! 0 1 to 1910, was only 3.4, and In 1910 the I rate had gone down to 2.f. It Is considered in Europe that a dat fi nite of 13 to 15 per ti und nd thou sand coiiHtitutes a rather serious re i flection on tiie sanitary management i of the water supplies of such cities i Ann vt the figures are far below ;tbe average of the fifty cities In the United States above referred to. In which the death ra,H WUH Pr one h itidred thousand population. Leav Ing out of account such causes of typhoid as Infei ted food and milk, contact, ra,r rifts. 'tc, McLaughlin believeH that this death rate can be ery materially reduced by filtering the water supplies of our c It tea. which are too largely contaminated by sewiige .

DI E TO TARIFF; PITTANCE FOR TOILERS. The last census figures at hand show that tn 1905 the value of the woolen manufactures of the United Stutea was $767,000,000. If all of these goods had been purchased abroad they would have cost $406, 000.000. Thla leaves a margin of protection for the manufacturers of $362,000,000. The census bureau says that the labor cost of producing i these goods was $135,000,000. The 'difference between that sum aud the $362,000,000 of protection and I more, because no account la taken In 1 this calculation of the labor coat abroad represented what was put in the pocket of the manufacturer. I'nder the protective theory as ex- plained In the last Republican Na tional platform, the manufacturer was charged with the duty of taking .this protection, extracting therefrom his reasonable profit and handing the remainder over to labor. With I wages averaging $7 or $8 a week for adults in his mills, how much of this money do you think Mr. William , Wood and his associates retained as a reasonable pront and how much did they give their workingmen? The answer Is not far to find: The mills built at Lawrence by Mr. Wood paid for themselves the first five years they were built. They consume over 24,000,000 pounds of scoured wool In a year, and they, with other worsted mills, have been given special privilege of advantage over all mills which produce the cheaper grades of clothing. Five worsted mills at Lawrence consume eighty million pounds of wool (scoured weight) a year, which la about two thirds of all the wool grown In the United States. The development of this industry has been one of the wonders of industrialism, but there Is no secret about It when one exam lues the way the tariff waa juggled In favor of this Industry yt'Aim:iti.v mkktimj. The quarterly meeting of the Chris tian Church will he held Wednesday evening of this week. All members and friends should he present. We will have a Kood time. J. N. McCONNKI.L. Pastor. LOCAL NKU'H.
