Ex-Senn-tor John M. Thurston, counsel for Soiuitor Mitchell, reached New York yesterday. In un interview hearing on tho Mitchell case ho virtually ad mits Mitchell's guilt, but oxpresses a hope that tho Senator uiay ultlmately esoape on technical grounds. Here Is what Thurston says: "1 feel quite hopeful of obtaining a reversal of tho vol diet against Sena tor Mitchell when tho ouso, which has been appealed lo tno United States supreme court, is opened ngnln next spring. There are several points on which I believe we can obtain this re versal. Cue of these is Iho wording of tho indictment against Senator Mitchell, which should specify tho par ticular crime with '.which he is charged. This it does not do." Another technical point which Sen ator Thurston says may galu a rever sal of tho verdict is the fact that under the stattito for limitations the alleged crime was outlawed before tho Indict-: mout wns returned, OF FED ERAL GRAND JURY Prom Portland Telegram: That the desert of Crook county Is to give up its secret and the crime of years ago be unoovered by tbo Feder al grand jury, just oalled, Is the be lief of those conversant with the work of the present session Thelown er of the grinning skull of at least one viotlm of deadline hostilitiy be tween sheep and cattlemen, now lying on tbo interior sagebrush range, is to be revongod, and no longer lie with empty eyesookots upturned to the stars, as If asking why the murderer goeB unpunished.. The murdorer of "Shorty" Davis, a former sheopman of the Crooked river country, who owned a ranch sixteen miles southoust of Prineville, and who suddenly "dropped out""ahout three years ugo, is said to havo beeu dis covered uud the subject will be taken up by District Attorney Fraucis J. lleney, und an iudiotment returned. charging an interior Oregon cattleman with tho foul murder, it iB alleged. Ihis case has mystified the Prineville district for yoars. It attracted tin usual attention from the fact that al though uo proof of a crime could be produced, there wub every reusou to beliove thut Davis has been the vic tim of foul play, because of frequeut luurrols with cattlemen, who disputed with him tho range alongside his Crooked river ranch. Men have hunt ed long for his romuius, but so fur his body has not boon discovered, not withstanding tbo fuct that there is a standing rewurd of $3000 offered for information leading to its recovery, 91000 of which was offered by Crook oounty and $2000 by the estate of the missing man. The finding of tho corpse, with whatever clew that discovery might furnish, bus never yet occurred, aud friends of "Shorty" Davis have al ways believed that so carefully wub the orimo covered up thut it would never bo punished, uud tho murderer brought to justice. Later develop ments itidioute that tho whereabouts of the body is knowu, and that before the piosont grand jury bands in its findings the blood of the murdered man, whioh orieB to Heaven for jus tice, will be satisfied. The theory of the crime is that Davis waaoniioed to eoine lonely, uu froquented spot along Crooked river, wnore rank growth of cottouwoods covOrs the ground, and tborewas shot down, lbat tbo unfnrtunnto sheep man was. left .lying where he fell and never given the consideration of a hasty burial is shown by the report that a lone sboepberder knows the spot whero he lies and wiirdireot the olllcers of the law to the scene of the orimo of tho desert.

Sbe Wtals to "Meander on tbe Farm." ! From tho American Farmer. j We are in receipt of one of those gushing letters which are oharacteris- tio of sentimental girls just leaving high school, with their beads full of the kind of notions about life obtain ed from trashy novels. She says she has beard a great deal about the de lights of country life, occasionally reads a copy of the Amerloan Farm er, whioh be father takes, and longs for a romatio experience with a young farmer at one end of the story and herself at tbe other. This girl, who lives in a oity, informs us tbat "it Is a fond dream of mine to become a farmer's wife and meander with him down life's pathway. " Of course our natural desire .to please the young ladies would incline us to help thiB one secure what sbe wants, but some insuperable ditiicultiea present them selves, Tbe othor sido must ne con sulted aud we fear tbe average young farmer does not tuke so romatio a view of life as our correspondent, Farmers are practicalpeoplo and when they murr? insist above all things up on a pruclicul wife. So wo fear Miss Meander might not suit any of our1 farmer aqcuaintances even if aftor j trial, he should suit her as well as she ( now fondly BUpposes. Our gushing correspondent will lcnrujsoine day, es pecially if she marries a working man either in country or city, that there ' something to do beside going downJ4ifes pathway" locked arm in arm, singing lullabies aud eating cream tarts. Rofore the honeymoon is over our meandering friend is aure to be painfully disillusionized. Her hubby is liable to mo tin dor off uud leave ber without wood which will necessitate her meandering up aud down the lane peeling splinters off the fence to cook dinner. Of course this will cause a rude shock to be added to when tbo young wife is com pelled to meaudor along in the wet grass in search of the cows until her shoes are tbe color of rawhide and her stockings soaked. About tbat time there's apt to be 'some display of temper as "life's pathway" looms up in the distance as a rocky and thorny road. Still other trials await, when it be comes necessary to meander out across twenty acres of plowed ground with a club to drive the bogs out of the cornfield aud tear your dress on the barbed wire fence. If, in this mood, you meaudor back home to the house and find that the Billy gat has butted the stuffiu" out of your child or iiudthe old hen with forty ohick- ens in the parlor, we venture to say tbat you will put your bauds ou your hips and admit that meandering is not what it is cracked up to be. Of course all this is presuming that you have secured a husband of - average good sense and habits. If, however, he 1b in tbe habit of meandering over to the saloon too oftou or when want ed for work is found to have mean dered off with evil companions, tbe case will be much worse for the young wife who expected to find "life's pathway" all roses and sunbeams. Al together, wo are inclined to think that it will notbe safe for our fair correspondent to meander to tho country in search of a busband. Sbe had better try to oatch on to some rich young fool or some old one who wants a "darling," so that tbe mean dering business may be over roads less rooky than those usually lying before the hard working wife of an industrious farmer.
