TRIAL OF STONE THE MAN WHO LOCATED POEITL ANDERS ON TIME ERLESS TIMBER LANDS IN ALSEA. Charge Againet Him Is Larcecy by Bailee Trial Was in . Port land and Bjoton County Men Were Witnesses. Portland, Nov. 4 The trial of Oicar F. Stont, woo located a num ber of Portlauders ou timberlesj umber lands in the country beyoud Alsea was coacluded here today. Yesterday was consumed in the bubmissioa of evidence for the pros ecution. The specific' indictment against Stone is larceny by bailee. He was attended in court by his wife, , his mother-in law, Mrs. Thomas Guinean, and his attorney, Kogger B. Sinnott. Mrs. Guineao appeared to take deep interest in the case and acknowledged that at the tima Sneriff Story was on the way to Saud Point, IJah , to appre hend her son-in-law she sent tele grams to the latter warning him. The principal testimony of the prosecution was given by Dr. Cor i.eliuf . Ho stated that he heard from friends that Stoue was locat ing peojJd on timber lands and that it was a good thing. Ha had ex hausted his own right, but conclud ed he could locate his bisters and niece, fo he advised with S one, asked $100 compensition for each location. Dr. Cornelius said be toid Stone there must bn yat leaBt 3,ooi.ono ft-et of timber on each quarter section and that he would have it cruised. He delivered a check for $300 to Stone and also $50 as a nne-half payment for Dr. H. R. Little-field. "The check was to be placpd in escrow in the Portland Trust Com pany, "' said the witness, "until I was fully satifrfid the claims were as represented." 1 Dr. Cornelius further tes ified that he made the check payable to Stooe and trusted to Stone's hon or to place it in escrow in the bank. The doctor also told about his sis ters and riirce going with Stone to view the land at .Aljea, and that tae laud shown was not that on which they were located, an i that a cruiser named Tucker, who cruis ed the real locations, found only brueh on the land. Dr. Cornelius nex Md how he became suspicious of S-i-e, aad of Stone's sudden dis apper n?e and his efforts to have him arrested. On crew-examination M-. Sin n -.tt, counsel for the defence, asked: ' You tried to get money out of Guinsan, did.t you?" "riae came to my office herself: it w.s not my proposition." Th s response evidently jarred Mrs. Guinean's nerves, and she in terrupted with the remark, ''I did not, doctor." She was quieted by her daughter, and Mr. Sinnott resumed his ques tioning. . "Dictor, you tried to get money from Mrs. Stone, Mrs. Guinean's daughter, aod said you would drop the case, didn't you?" ".,. 'I said all I wanted was my mon ey. I wa3 willicg to drop the case if I got the moDey." "Did yoq not demand $500 from Mrs. Guinean to drop the case?" "No, I did not." , SheriffStory testified that he ar rested Stone at Sand Point, Idaho, where he was engaged in practicing law under the name of Clark. The name of the firm , was Clark & Johnson. . On cress-examination Sheriff Storey was asked if just before his arrival at Sand Point, Stone had not received telegrams telling . him of bis coming, and if Stone could not have got away if he wanted to. The Sheriff was aeked if Stone did not exhibit such telegrams -to him, and he answered affirmatively. A telegram addressed to Stone and signed Leslie was handed to the sheriff for identification, and Judge Sears inquired: "Who eent the telegrams?" : "I sent them, judge," responded Mrs. Guinean. . : W. H. Malonff, postmaster at Al sea, testified that Stone came there in October, 1902, and spoke to him concerning townships 10 and 11. The witness sr id:. "I told nim I did not think there was any timber on that ground, - and be replied a number of people were coming that evening and not to say anything." B. L. Paget testified that Stone deposited the Dr. Cornelius check for $300 in the Portland Trust Company and afterward cashed it. Mr. Sinnott, attorney for Stone, moved that the court instruct the jury to return a verdict of not guil ty on the ground that the check which was in evidence must be tak en for what appeared on its face. It was made payable to ' Oscar Stone therefore behad a perfect right to cash it. Judge Sears denied the motion. Portland, ; Oat. 5. The esse of Oscar Stone was submitted to the jury yesterday afternoon at 4 o' clock. Stone, testifying in his own de fense, admitted having received a check for $Zo6, payable to his order from Dr. Chailes W. Cirneliut, aod said thatt he understood that as soon as be had entered it to a contract with D.-. Cornelius to lo cate his sisters and niece on timber claims, lie was to receive his com pensation in advance. He, theie fore, believed he hnd a right to cash the cbeck and appropriate the mon ey to his own use, and did so. Concerning the character of the land on which he bad located the relatives of Dr. Cornelius, Stone eai I be relied upon information re ceived by him from others that it wa? well timbered and did not ex amine it himself. When ha took the locator to the scene, he point ed to the lnd in the distance, and ai there was a large gulch to cross to reach it, St'ne said the party decided not to visit the land, but to be satisfied with a view from the distance, and to accept the inform ation about it be had received from others. Stone explained that bis reason for leaving Portland and go to Idaho was that be was afflicted witfc) asthtca. He said he wa-wiil-iDg to refund to Dr. Cornelius as soou as be obtained the money. Tue Best Remedy for Croup. (From tha A'chison Kan. Globe.) This., is the season when the women who know the beet remedy for croup are in d maul in every neighborhood. One of the mo?t terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop by one of the children. . The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to . be loi tin case ot burglars. . There ued to be an old fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrupand tnlu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better,, and dees not cost so much It cauees the patient to"throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives re lief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the at tack. It never fails and is pleasant and saft to take. For sale by Gra ham & Waitham. . Assessment for Sewer.

The Oregon ian eays: There is nothing new under the sun;uot even the ''Holy Rollers.". A small band of fanati cs kLOvn as tob "Holy Rollers had a brief career in 1837, in the town of Hard wick: Wt.

DISTRIBUTE DISE ASI Street Cars as Disseminators of In fectious Maladies. Vitiated Air and ExpeftoiFtlomB Rm der Theme C"onj-ey ance fniH- ' fal Source !of Contavlon Need of SitrlmeBt Rolem. In the larger cities; of this country! the street car is as potent a factor in! the dissemination of communicable diseases as many of those usually cata logued in the standard -works of hy giene. In these larger centers of popu- lation the condition is one of an ex cessive number of passengers crowded into a limited, number of cars. In some cities this continues throughout the entire day, and in all of them during the morning and evening hours. Dur ing1 the period of congested traffic, the cars- are crowded to the limit, every seat being occupied, and the aisles and rear platforms literally packed with all classes of our variegated popula tion, says the Interstate Medical Jour nal. The ventilation of these cars is in ferior, both on account of inattention to this important matter on the part of the builders cf this class of rolling stock, and. also because the passenger differ so widely as to the proper tem perature and circulation . necessary to their comfort. Tuberculosis is undoubtedly propa gated through the medium of these cars, which, become infected by. the promiscuous expectoration indulged in by consumptives, notwithstanding notices of warning. Hannum. of Cleve land, recently examined 25 specimens of sputum found in street cars (15 from the interiors and ten from the , rear platforms) : the tubercle bacillus was present in three instances. Other specimens showed the pneumococcus and the bacillus influenzae. These conditions, the persan-to-per-son contract, ' and the breathing of vitiated nir frequently laden, with coirtag'ioiis exhalations and with dust from .dried sputum, are most favora ble to the distribution of contagious diseases. Of course, it is only, prob lematical -as to the number of small pox cases which, were infected through these conditions during the recent epidemic, but it is certain that but few better opportunities of . in fection are offered than through the street-car contact of all classes. Other transmissible diseases can very easily be, and no doubt are, com municated in the same way. ;" The, solution of this problem is not easy. Street railway companies are not inclined to relieve : the present situation without compulsion. Health officers, however, have authority over the sanitation of these public .con veyances. ' This authority in " most municipalities gives sufficient power to prevent undue overcrowding of cars when such prevention would be for the protection ' of public health. When necessary, as in times of a general epidemic, ,' such authority should be exercised.. Under all cir cumstances regular disinfection of street cars should be practiced in an efficient manner. In thia way the cars can be made biologicallv clean, and the health of the community bet ter protected. There i just as much occasion for this procedure as there is for the disinfection of Pullman cars, now energetically practiced at different points. Investigation has developed the fact that there is but one city in the country, ; Philadel phia, where any pretense is made of disinfection of street cars. The Union Traction company of that city disinfects its cars with carbolic acid. This possibly, answers for the killing of bacterial life on the. floors and walls of the cars, but does no good -ot the contaminated places where dust has settled, and which nothing but a gaseous agent would reach. : In the County Court of Benton Coun ty, State of Oregon, In the Matter of the Estate Y . of Mabel E. Howe, a Minor. J ' Now at this time came Frank L, Howe guardian of the estate of Mabel EHowe, a minor, and presents his petition to this Court and asks for a license to authorize him to sell Lots 10, n & 12 in Block 22, County Addition to the City of Corvallis in Benton County, Oregon, belonging to his ward Mabel E. Howe, and it ap pearing to the Court from said petition that it would be to the best interest of said ward, the said Mabel F. Howe, that said above mentioned property be sold and the proceeds thereol transmitted and turned over to Frank K. Marsh, the legal guardian of said minor in the State of Massachusetts where it may be in vested for and in the interest of said minor. It'is therefore hereby ordered that the next of kin of said ward and all persons interested in the person and es tate of said minor, be and they are here by ordered to appear before the above named court on Saturday the . 21st day of November, 1903, at the hour of 10 o'clock in the forenoon of said date at the Court House of Benton County, Ore gon, then and there to show cause if any they have why a license should not be granted for the salw of said real estate above mentioned. :.
