TAKE HEW BATHS. Wealthy Mrs. Nhatv Tells Something About Bun-Worshipers. CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Oct. 23 Mrs. Ellen M. Shaw of Lowell, for whose property a conservator Is being asked by her niece, Mrs. Mabel Dut ton. of Dorchester, on the ground that Mrs. Shaw was about to give her estate to the Mazdaznan society of Sun-Worshipers, resumed her testi mony In the Probate court today. She readily admitted that she took dew baths, that she ate no meat, or fish, and that she had an altar In ber bed room. Bbe described the altar aa a little stand with many pictures and candles on It. She declared that all she gave to the Mazdaznan temple was $500, and denied that she was converting her property Into cash. Mrs. Shaw admitted that she wore a sort of robe, but said It was mere ly a morning gown. Regarding Dr. Hanish, she sal dthat she did not know who he was or where he came from. The case was then adjourned until next week In Lowell. On Tuesday the court and the counsel In the case will visit the Mazdaznan temple In that city. NORTH MEDFORD NOTES.

Ten thousand lives taken annually In passion or revenge, and legal retri butions so few that they are hardly worth recording! Let a man but have the means to hire a smart law yer, and he Is as good as free. Jus tice seems to have lost her eye ban dage, and to be as easily dazzled by money aa the rest of a money-mad land. Every acquittal of a murderer invites another murder, and the chain of homicide Is constantly lengthened. Still worse, the whole people grow accustomed to man slaughter, and murder ceases to ex cite the horror and antipathy that naturally belong to It. The nose first tolerates the smell of blood, and ends by sniffing Its odor eagerly. America la coming to the parting of the waya. One road leads to sav agery; the other to civilization. A halt must be called upon private ven geance. The public has been too len ient, too sentimental. Justice, Inex orable, Impartial, must replace the mock trials that go on. The chican eries of the law must be put a stop to. ELECTIOX BETTING BEGINS. About $4O00 Wagered Portland. So Far in KILLS WAYWARD SOX. Artist's Awful Crime Results From Mistake 'in Farts. PARIS, Oct. 23. Truly shocking is a tragedy enacted this week at Gap, where M. Dlsdle de Rousset, a painter and a knight of the Legion of Honor, killed his own son. The young man, who had recently returned from mili tary service In Tonkin, was very wild and eccentric, and Is said to have con stantly threatened to kill his mother and sisters who were In awful dread of him. A few days ago he waa In such a state of delirium through drink that neighbors had to be called In to help tie him up. The direct cause of the tragedy was a quarrel on Wednesday evening when Just before the dinner hour he announced that he I previous election went to Palmer and PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 23. That portion of Portland's sporting gentry who only wager on elections Is be ginning to get Into action and dur ing the last two weeks something like $4000 has been posted on the presidential election. In spite of the -t that In the east the odds on Tnft have been hovering around 3 and 4 to 1, here In the city the pre vailing odds have been 2 to 1, with an occasional small bet of 3 to 1. The largest wager made so far was a bet that was made by two promi nent business men as the result of a political talk during luncheon. While the talk was tropical the Taft man wagered $3500 against $1750 that Taft would defeat Bryan. The next largest bet that has reached the ears of the gossips was $220 against $150. The rest of the money has been wagered In small bets of $100 and less and most of this has been bet on Taft's majority In Oregon One or two foolish Bryanltes have figured that Bryan will not be beat en by more than 12,000, but the most of the money has been placed that Taft will get between 15,000 and 19 000 over Bryan. less than the total number of votes polled by Bryan In either 1896 or 1900. But Roosevelt's tremendous and widespread personal popularity must be taken Into consideration In accounting for the sudden drop In the Democratic vote In 1904 below the totals polled In the two preceding elections. It Is safe to say that If Judge Parker had had any other op ponent but Roosevelt against him on the Republican aide he would have received more votea than Bryan did In either of bis campaigns, owing to the support which conservative Dem ocrats, alienated by Bryan's radical tendencies, would have given blm. Aa it waa, a large part of thia con servative Democratic element, to gether with a great many Independ ents, voted for Roosevelt. As a con sequence, the latetr's plurality was, numerically, the largest, and, based on the number of voters, the second largest ever received by a candidate for president of the United States. Jj ine oiner canaiaaies in re- celved votes aa follows: Eugene V. Debs, Soc. Dem. 402,159 Sllaa C. Swallow, Pro 258.356 Thos. E. Watson. Pop 117.183 Chas. H. Corrlgan, Soc Lab. 11,249 In 1896 out of a total of 446 elect oral votes, McKinley received 271 and Bryan 176, making a majority of 95 for McKinley. In 1900, out of 476 available elect oral votes, McKinley received 292, agaiast Bryan's 155, which gave the Republican candidatea a majority over his opponent of 137, and a gain over his majority in the former elec tion of 42 electoral votes. In 1904 the total number of elect oral votes still being 476, Roosevelt received 336 and Parker 140, a ma jority for the former of 196. This beat MrKinley'a electoral majority of 1900 by 101, and that of 189 by 59. A study of the electoral returns by states for the three elections of 1896, 1900 and 1904 shows that these 20 states went Republican In all three elections: Connecticut, Del aware, Illlnoia, Indiana. Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ver mont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Eleven statea, all belonging to the Solid South," the main reliance of the Democratic party, went Demo cratic in all three elections: Alabama, Arkansaa, Florida, Georgia, Louisi ana, Mississippi, Mori- Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Mon tana and Nevada went Democratic In 1896 and 1900, but passed over to Roosevelt In 1904. In addition to Nebraska, Bryan'a own state, Kansas, Soutb Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming de cided that one try for Bryan was enough and voted Republican In 1900 and 1904. California split Its electoral vote In 1896. while In 1900 and 1904 the state went Republican. Kentucky split Its vote In 1806, when Palmer and Buckner ran on the national Democratic ticket, owing largely to the fact that General Simon B. Buck ner, the national Democratic candi date for vice-president, waa a Ken tuckian. In the succeeding elections Kentucky returned to the Democratic column. Maryland split its electoral vote In 1904. giving Parker seven votes and Roosevelt one. In this year'a election there will be a total of 483 electoral votes, a gain of seven over the total of 1904, due to the admission of Oklahoma as a state. The number of electoral votes necessary to elect Is 242, a simple majority of one. Oklahoma, it is thought, will go Democratic. AHOVT THE VOTE. JNOW IS STHE TIME TQ FENCE m .

Because you have contracted or dinary colds and recovered from them without treatment ot any Kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and aaw-onic catarrh have their origin In a com mon cold. Consumption is not cau sed by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and de velopment of the germa that would not otherwise have louna loagment. It Is the same with all Infectious dis- les. Diphtheria, scarlet fever. measles and whooping cough are much more likely o tie contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger lurks In a cold than In any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold Is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by thia preparation have made It a staple article of trade over a large part of tbe world. For sale by Chas. Strang.
