WITH BIG JAW
PEOPLE ; AT BAKER CITY ARE
VICTIMS OF FATAL CATTLE
DISEASE.
Once Affected,. Never Cured Two
in Hospital Now and Several
Have Died- Widower
' Takes Big Rag Doll
for Wife- Art Gal-..
v lery for Nation.
Baker City, Or., April 4. A num
ber of caees of lump jaw nave de
veloped in this city and county re
cently. It is not often that men
and women are afflicted with this
dread disease, which can only be
contracted by eating diseased beef,
but it is a fact that several people
have died from - lump jaw during
the last eight or tan months. ' .
There are two cases which have
been diagnosed as lump jaw at the
hospital in this city at the present
time.
There is no known cure for the
malady, ooce it is thoroughly de
veloDed. The patient always dies
as in a case of malignant cancer.
It is certain that with a little ef
fort the source of the disease can b'
traced in each case. Lump-jawed
cattle cannot be mistaken. The
outward sign of ihe disease is the
.appearance of a lump on the side
and under the jaw, which continues
in size until it becomes hideous in
arjnearance aud hate in propor
tions. In time it breaks and be
comes a running sore, very offen
sive to the eight. It is more usu
ally met with on the Eastern Ore
gon and Eastern Washington rang
es than in the Willamette Valley.
In some localities it is known as
the ''big jaw." By some cattlemen
it is considered as semi-contagious,
and tboe of prudent turn of mind,
always shoot the infected animal ss
soon as the character of the malady
is first discovered. The animal, af
ter it is attacked with the disease,
soon begins to lose flfsh, and if al
lowed to live, is finally reduced by
the effect of toe malady to skin and
bone.
It is claimed that animals so af
flicted, before the disease had re
duced them too far in flesh, have
been killed here and fold as beef to
an unsuspecting public. A rigid
investigation has been instituted,
and no effort will be spared to bring
the guilty parties to justice, though
1 difficulties to be enctunteied in the
process of detection will be mani
fold.
Watertown, N. Y., April 4. Car
tying in his arms a huge rag doll
dressed in the clothing of ' his dead
wife, Jerry Mooney, a farmer living
Bear the village of Montague', Lewis
eounty, goes to bis work in the
fields each day.
For fifteen years, ever since his
wife, Molly, died of paralysis, Moon
ey has carried this dummy about
with him. He refuses to believe
his wife is dead. After her burial
he made a rag woman and dressed
it in bis wife's clothes.
He often places the figure in the
favorite chair of his wifeand spends
long evenings before the fire talk
ing to it. At meal timeB he draws
the chair containing the figure up
to the table and helps it to food.
On Sundays he dresses the figure
in the best clothes his wife had at
her death, gets out all of her jewel
ry and places it about the neck and
on the hands of the doll.
Week days when he. goes to the
field, the rag doll is carried by him
and placed under the shelter of a
tree in summer or in some protect
ed spot in cold weather. He always
carries luncheon for himself and
the doll, and never eats the latter's
portion.
Mooney and his wife came from
Londonderry, in the north of Ire
land, in the early fifties and settled
on a small farmr They were rigid
Covenanters, and, having no chil
dren,' lived by themselves. When
his wife died in 1888, neighbors, not
seeing her about, called at the house
and found her dead in bed and her
husband sitting by the side of the
body talking to her. '
Mooney will permit no one to en
ter his house. The existence of the
rag woman was discovered by per
eonswho watched the house and saw
him carrying it back and forth.
New York, April 4. There is ex
cellent authority for stating that J.
Pierpont Morgan, is planning to
build a splendid art museum and
present it to the American nation.
Mr. Morgan's . private collections
are by far the rarest and most ex
tensive owned by any individual in
the world.
The most valuable of the treas
ures of this munificent collector are
now abroad, scattered over Conti
nental Europe and England. That
bete noia of American art collectors
the tariff has so far estopped
MrvMorgan from transporting his
art pbjeci8 to this country, , If ha
was. to give his treasures fo a pub
lic institution they could be brought
in free of duty ; " :
It wa3 learned yesterday from
one of Mr. Morgan's friends that
the ambition ot Mr. Morgan is to
create a great art institution which
shall be monumental in scope and
which shall contain the very cream
of the available art objects of the
world. ; The addition whieh Mr.
Morgan is now making to ' his
home on Madison avenue and
Thirty-sixth street will contain but
a small part of his art collections.
"This much can be said definite
ly," said one of Mr. Morgan's
friends, "and that is Mr. Morgan
is by nature one of the most phi
lanthropic men in the world. He
has not made his vast collections
with a view to keeping them seclud
ed fjr the personal enjoyment, of
himself and bis frierds, but he
cherishes the ambition of making
his collection the most beautiful
and valuable in the world.
"Mr. Morgan is today the great
est art collector in the world. : He
has spent more money for art ob
jects probably than the dozen other
most lavish collectors in the world
combined. He is a man of rare
taste and expert judgment. As an
art critic he has1 few equals, and he
has gathered together hundreds of
marvelously beautiful things. '
"It is the desire 01 the owner of
these objects that ; they shall be
made available for the American
people. He is planning to bouse
all his collections in some one place
and it is very likely that the great
museum of art which he will estab
lish will be offered as a gift to the
American nation, or be made the
foundation of a great national art
gallery."
Mr. Morgan a visits to Europe ev
ery summer have been devoted
quite as much to the purchase of art
objects as to the transaction of his
banking business. In the last sev
en years he is believed to have pur
chased fully $7,000,000 worth of art
trtasures in, Europe.
Berlin, April 3 Because Baron
Von Sternberg, Germany's ambas
sador to the United States, went to
the Washington depot to say good
bye to his friend. President Roose
velt, the German newspapers wax
wroth at their representativeand
accuse him of several kinds of be
trayal of the fatherland. .
To the American residents in the
city the situation is rather funny.
The German Newspapers, at least
the larger and most influential, this
morning attack Baron Von . Stern
berg unmercifully. They charge
him with trailing the dignity of the
empire in the dust of Republican
ism. I bey dejlare that he has been
unmindful of his duty as the repre
sentative ot the "greatest power in
Europe." and has deliberately sub
jected the Kaiser and the Kaiser's
subject s to humiliation.
The tone of the German press on
this really trivial incident is strongly
condemnatory of the baron. The
articles, evidently inspired, say that
Von Sternberg, in going to the de
pot to say good-bye to Roosevelt,
was servile. He is represented as
truckling to the president of a
mob."
Tne newspapers assume a lofty
tone of injured dignity and declare
that the Kaiser has been made ri
diculous by this friendly act of bis
representative at Washington.:
Washington. D. C, April 3.
Judge Charles H. Corey, of Port
land, Or., has : been recommended
by Senator John H. Mitchell, Sena
tor Charles W. Fulton and Con
gressman J. N. William Bon as the
successor of ex-Governor P. Lord,
who is now serving as United States
minister to the Argentine republic.
SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP. "
Cured by One Bottle" of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"When I had an - attack of the
grip last winter (the second one)
I actually cured myself with one
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," says Frank W. Perry,
Editor of the Enterprise ShortBville
N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I
at times kept from coughing myself
to pieces by taking a teaspoonful of
this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night
I would take a dose and it seemed
that in , the briefest interval the
caugh would pass off and I would
go to sleep perfectly free from cough
and its accompanying ; pains. To
say that the remedy acted: as ; a
most agreeable surprise is putting
it very mildly. I had no idea that
it would or could knock out the
gripsimply because I had never
tried it for such a purpose, but it
did and it seemed with the second
attack v 0 coughing the remedy
caused it to not only be of less du
ration but the pains were far less
severe and I had not used the con
tents of one bottle before Mr. Grip
had bid me adeiu," For sale by

SURE THING GAME.
HOW THOSE v WHO , PLAY IT IN
ORATORICAL CONTESTS WIN '
. . THE BIG PRIZE.
Orator Smith Censured, his College
Under the ban and Oratory
Besmirched An Original '
Poem At Philomath'
; Other Local News,
Orator Smith, who carried away
first honors and a b;g gold medal
at the late oratorical contest at
Eugene is under a shadow now and
oratorical contests in Oregon are
in as bsd repute as are senatorial
elections in Delaware. It has been
discovered either that Orator Smith
stole a lot of his oration from Sena
tor Vance of North Carolina, or
that Senator Vance stole hia lec
ture from Orator Smith, and as
he delivered his speech first, not
much euspicion attaches to the
senator. The executive committee
of the ora'orical association 'his
censured Smith, and. has , debarred
McMinnviile C .liege, which he reD-i
resented, from participation in next
year's oratorical contest. The lat
ter fact, coupled with that wild
burst of pride on the evening of the
Eugene contest, when the MoMinn-
vilie delegation leaped to the plat
form and bore the victorious Smith
eff in triumph on their shoulders,
is about as great a contrast in situ
ations as it is possible to imagine.
The man who married the widow's
daoghter and tbn eloped with the
widow herself made no more - of a
sensation or put the climaxes of
jay and shame in ; more complete
juxtaposition. Everybody proba
bly feels sorry for Smith, for he is
said to be a hardworking, good
fellow; but then there is his offense,
which only differs from that of tha
man who gets in jail in that he
steals bread while Smith" stole his
speech, V- ' .
Tha address from which the Mc
Miunville orator got his. material U
a lecture entitled "The Scattered
Nation," to be found in volume six
of Modern Eloquence, sentences
bodily or with little change of
phrase, thoughts clothed in the ex
act words of Senator Vance, and
whole paragraphs, more or less
abridged appear in Smith's "The
Homeless Nation," just as they did
in the original. The plan of the
two speeches are identical. The
comparison suggests the idea that
if more time had been allowed the Mc
Minaville orator for delivery he
would have swiped the North Caro
linian's speech bodily.
A most interesting feature of the
discovery is that if Smith's theft
hadn't won oat at the contest, the
representative of Newberg College
would have been winner, for. she
sto )d second. The fact is made
thrilling' by the incident that for
an exactly similar ' theft by the
Newberg College orator two years
ago, the McMin ovule orator would
have taken first place. The Newberg
literary pirate then was Elwood
Minchin, who delivered at Corval
lis an oration entitled "Wendell
Philips the Agitator," taking first
honors over J. Sherman Wallace,
the McMinnville representative,
who stood second. The next day
after the oration was printed, Jo
seph Underwood vof Corvallis,
brought out of his library a book
entitled "Wendell Phillips,- the
agitator", and it was found, as in
the present instance, not only many
of the sentences bidily, but all of
the Newberg man's oration. The
book turned out to be a worse agi
tator then Wendell Phillips ever
dared to be. though in that instan
ce, the executive committee did not
censure Michin, as it now does
Smith. - - .'' . , '
So it has been between these two
schools that' she piracy has been
practiced, and in each instance, the
chickens have oome home to roost.
The Newberg girl of this year ought
to have-Smith's medal and honors,
and the McMinnville orator of two
years'ago, ought to have the medal
and honors that were bestowed on
the Newberg representative of that
year. There is no donbt 'that the
failure to properly punish the of
fense of two years ago, is respon
siple for that of this year. -
Meantime, the colleges in the as
sociation that played fair, are struck
dumb with knowledge that they
have been up against a sure thing
game. They are in the position of
the thousands who have bet and'
loBt their money on the shell game
at the circus, where there was no
possible show to win. Many an
old mare would have won in the
horse race but for the rider, just as
some of the Webfoot orators would
have been in the finish but for the
books and published speeches.
Minchin on the shoulders of his
compatriots at the close of the con
test here in Corvallis, and Smith
similarly elevated at Eugene was a
dream of glory that the honest ora
tors beheld , all dazed. It came
round that way because Minch n
and Smith, like the man with the
shell at the circus played.. the
game to kin ani skun, -u--:-'
The meeting of the executive
ro-nmiltee at which the action
against Smith and McMinnville
college was taken, was held at
Fores' Grove, Friday. -Loaia Bur
noughis the mem ber of the committee
from O VC but was unable to at
tend. The vote by which Smith
was censured and his college de
barred from next year's contest was
unanimous. The wonder now natur
ally is, have any other thefts oc
curred that have not ; been discov
ered? . -

The Contented Sweet-briar.
' (By Florence Connor. j ,
Complacent by a dreary path,
. A lovely sweet-briar, grew, '
, And wafted round her fragrance rich
And beautified the view. .
A peaceful glory seemed to grace
- Each witching charm of Jane,
And in her miist some songsters gar
,. Trilled forth a merry tune.
"Pray tell me, rose," I said to her,
"Are yon content to stay
And waste thy beauty here that
.would ' ' '
Adorn some garden gay ?"
She said, "If such be God's own
. will ..v..: " ., .
To give me lowly lot,
I am content here to stay
To grace this lonely spot. - '
"Tor drear indeed were places lone
If all we flowers grew
To beautify but gardens fair,
1 Where all is pleasing view. .
"Methinks some one would pass un
' cheered '
Along this pathway drear
Some bird would hush its warbled
' strain .
To see no blossoms here.
"So my life, though wasted deemed,
Shall not be lived in vain, : '
If some good deed I here can do j
But counted truest gain."
Ah, thou, O patient genius grand 1
In some scarce trodden sphere,
Art thou not like this way-side rose
To give forth thou good cheer? j-
For sad it were did'at know that God
Who lit thy lonely flame
If all the gifted only graced
The lofty heights of Fame.
