Ellexson has been tried, found guil ty of murder In the second degree, and sentenced to life Imprisonment Tou might say. "It Is over, ring down the curtain." But wait, life Is a long time as a usual thing and during that period there might something occur to indicate Ellexson Is telllnc the truth tn bis statement published elsewhere. Remember, he was conricted on pure ly circumstantial evidence. By this remark we do not mean to assume that he Is innocent, but we do wish to aay that it is a hard matter to con- i Tlct ft man on no more evidence than wm produced in this trial. If it had been shown that Mrs. Perry had re turned the lore which Ellexson show ed toward her, then the case would hare been strong. But such was not proTen. Then it follows that Ellexson 11 lored a woman who scorned him, gaT him no encouragement, no hope of . trer holding a place in her afectlon. yet he kills her husband knowing that he can neter take that husband's place In ber heart. ' A little. unnatural, don't you think?! And besides, rumors about t'nion af ter the trial would indicate that fea ture! of this case might have been dor mant and not uncovered.

BTR1T With onr ample mources and eUnt aervlce aad handle your Uiion convlcltd, tie world dismiss es tie case and the theory of Clarence Darrow Is given another leg to stand upon. One lone h'ghwaymsa held up all the passengers cn a Missouri Pacific train as it was entering Kansas City tie night before Christmas. But there is noth'ng so very remarkable about that for out here in Oregon once upon ; a time one lone man held up a legisla ture for more than a month. This one man power is getting popular. And Mrs. Jack Cudahy Is about to return to her husband whom she di vorced Immediately after the Lillys affair. It makes but little difference whether she remarries Jack or not, for the world is stni wondering if Jere LilJis did not get the worst of that tragedy anyhow. John B. Ratio did not disappoint his large audience last evening. He gave them good stuff and showed that he had studied his subjects with remark able care and precision. Such enter tainments are good for everyone. Fol lowing him comes that greatest of all entertainers, George Gilbert Bancroft Tim Sullivan, the Tammany lieuten ant, fed over 5.000 hungry people on Christmas day. He also gave each a ticket for two pairs of socks and a pair of shoes. Tim may be a bad leg islator but you would hare a hard time mVf.; ?r!c v. c3 UMi.i It J Uncle Sam's weather bureau says a cold wave Is coming.

Hard on the hair tonic business. But the school children admit that one week's vacation when there is snow on the ground Is worth two weeks when the ground Is bare. The board Is busy at Salem today deciding the branch asylum location. Lets all hold our breath and hope hard for Union's success. 15 FITE XHCTES. rpet Stomach reels Splndld.

At the Orphean. - Manager Gardinier made no u'stake last . week when be announced he would have the best show in all the Northwest at the Orpheum this week. All the acts are good and compose a variety seldom seen In vaudeville. Cecil Gordon and company in the criginal Brinkley Girl opened the per formance and Miss Gordon was orig inal In her clever impersonations, singing and commedlenne work. Her presentation of the modern hobble skirt was well taken and she received several encores from her clever act Hashimoto, the, first Japanese seen on the local stage proved to be a favorite. He did quite a few Intricate and difficult feats on roller skates and at the same time performed Jug gling stunts that were very clever. He sulns a top on a string np into the wings, bringing down a beautiful American silk flag, that covers the en tire back of the stage. He closes his act by some marvelous water Juggling that brought forth a burst of ap plause. The flag used in Mr. Hashi moto's act is made of Japanese silk and cost $15. Young and Manning In a plantation comedy entitled "A Coon's Temptation, introducing Jim Crow the educated rooster and a game cock in a cock fight waj good, and to be fully appreciated ought to be seen. During the finish of the act the roos ter struts about the stage giving vent to a crow of victory every little while that Is truly laughable. Tot Young also Introduces some good banjo playing of the plantation variety that i good. Mies Manning closes the act with some good singing of the Sunny South that is also good. If you haven't teen the rooster fight It Is well worth your while. ECZEMA CURE WORTH LIFE ITSELF.
