A SCENE IN COURT
Excitement at the Examination
of Caleb Powers. ,
OPPOSING LAWYERS IN 'A WRANGLE
Spectators Made a Mad Rash for the
Doors Serjeant Golden Concluded
Hlit Testimony.
FRANKFORT. Ky., March 26. The
most thrilling event of the examination
of Republican Secretary of State CaleD
Powers occurred this afternoon shortly
after 3 o'clock, and for a few minutes It
looked as if serious trouble could not be
prevented. r
Judge George Denny, for the defendant.
In an argument upon the competency of
a question, said: "It Is perfectly lawful
for people to come here, and to come
armed. I came here several times my
self." He was referring to the crowd that
was present at the mass meeting held In
the statehouse yard just prior to Gover
nor Goebel's assassination.
Colonel Campbell, for the prosecution,
replied that he did not consider It law
ful, and was surprised to know that Mr.
Denny had come here armed. Denny de
nied having made such a statement, and
said that he did not come armed. Camp
bell Insisted that he made the statement.
Both men were very much excited, and
bpoke with vehemence, and, with arms
shaking, commenced to advance toward
each other. The courtroom, was crowded,
and the audience evidently thought a
fight was on, and made a mad rush for
the doors and windows, people falling
over each other In their wild efforts to
get out of the room. Several policemen
and Deputy Sheriffs were crying for or
der, and Judge Moore was bringing his
gavel down with terrific force and urging
the people to take their seats. After Ave
or 10 minutes of the most exciting scenes
since the assassination, quiet was re
stored. Just as soon as the room began to grow
orderly, ex-Governor Brown, one of the
attorneys for the defense, whispered to
Colonel Campbell, who promptly arose and
apologized to Denny, and to the court.
Judge Denny replying in ..a very happy
speech. On an Inspection of the record it
was found that Colonel Campbell had mis
construed Judge Denny's statement.
At the conclusion of the examination of
Golden, the commonwealth rested Its case.
It was stated last night that Mrs. Golden
would; also be introduced as a witness, but
she was not put on the stand. It is stated
that she Is an unwilling witness. The at
torneys for the defense asked for an ad
journment of court at 4 o'clock for the
purpose of conference with the defendant
as to the witnesses that will be placed on
the stand In his behalf tomorrow. The
court adjourned for this purose.
The trial was not resumed today at 10
o'clock, as Wharton Golden, one of the
prosecution's witnesses, was not in tne
courtroom County Attorney Pelsgrove
announced that Golden was 111, but that
the doctor thought he would be able to
appear at 1 o'clock, and asked the Judge
to adjourn court until that hour, which
was done.
The court convened at 1 o'clock and
Golden was immediately placed on the
stand and cross-examination began. It
commenced with ex-Governor Brown in.
terrogating the witness. Golden said he
learned about two weeks ago that he
would be arrested if he did not tell what
he knew about the assassination, and It
he did the attorneys for the common
wealth would try to save him from prose
cution. Golden said he told Judge Flem
ing, of Winchester, that he Intended to
tell all he knew about the affair. "While
he was in "Winchester,, he said, he was
stopped by two men. Dr. Foster and "Will
lam Steele, who grabbed him by the arms
and cursed him for exposing the Republi
can party. Golden replied that he had not
exposed the party.
During an argument between the attor
neys Golden asked to be excused for a
few minutes, as he said he was growing
weak, and he was taken out of the court
room by a Deputy Sheriff. Golden ro
Bumed his testimony a little after 2
o'clock. He could not remember that he
ever heard Powers say he Intended to
harm any one. Dick Coombs, the al
leged assassin, was brought to Frank
fort, he said, by "William Culton, one of
the defendants. The witness said that
when he hoard, on his way to Louisville
with Powers, that Goebel had been shot,
and told Powers what had happened,
Powers said it was a dirty shame and an
outrage. '
"When asked about the man who was
given the keys the morning Goebel was
killed. Golden said he did not know his
name, but could recognize him anywhere.
He said he saw him here Saturday, and
ex-Governor Brown asked him to get up
and see if he was in the room. Golden
scrutinized the large crowd, but said he
did not see him.
At 3 o'clock the defense announced they
were through with the cross-examination,
and the state commenced Its examination
In rebuttal. Attorneys Campbell and
Denny got Into an argument, and the He
was passed. Great excitement prevailed,
and people rushed for the doors and
windows, while Judge Moore rapped for
order. Quiet was finally restored. Ex
Governor Brown hfforiaed Campbell that
he had misconstrued Colonel Denny's re
marks, and Colonel Campbell at once
arose and apologized to Colonel Denny
and the court.
Golden finished his testimony and the
prosecution rested. The defense asked for
time to consult with the defendant, and
court adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning. -

e
COLONISTS' RATES AT AN END
Last Tickets at 825 From St.
Paul
Were Sold Starch 25.
The dispatches from St Paul last Satur
day, relating to colonist rates, and the ac
tion of the Great Northern In the matter,
greatly mystified Portland railroad men.
The dispatch stated:
"The presidents' agreement to maintain
rates Is broken with their consent, and it
is believed the Great Northern will resume
the payment of commissions In a short
time. The Canadian Pacific positively re
fuses to Join the movement to discontinue
commissions, and competing lines will be
forced to renew commissions. This move
ment will restore commissions on all
lines."
One of the Great Northern's competitors
said yesterday:
"There Is probably some misunderstand
ing about these colonists' rates. The rep
resentatives of the roads here were given
to understand that all colonist rates were
to be abrogated on and after March 0.
Our line understood that the date was
fixed for March 25. This would account
for the Great Northern's selling colonist
tickets March 24."
In order to clear up- the apparent puzzle,
The Oregonian ascertained the follow
ing: March 8 the Great Northern people
here received instructions by circular stat
ing that, effective March 20, the second
class colonist excursion rate, which had
been In effect for more than a year, would
be withdrawn. The St. Paul rate sheet,
showing a $40 rate from St. Paul and Min
neapolis to North Pacific Coas.t points, was
the governing factor. Supplementary in
structions arrived here March 20 for the
Great Northern people. It Informed them
that up to and including March 20 a $25
rate, applying from St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth, would apply, but extended ta
Seattle only. The reason for this lay in
the fact that the Canadian Pacific war not
ready to withdraw its second-class co'onlst
rate until March 25, and that line excepted
Seattle only. This, then, was In dlrecl
lino with the Great Northern's action,
which has not 6old any colonist tickets
at the $25 rate since March 20.
Northern Pacific advice? from St. Paul
yesterday regarding the dispatch sent out
Saturday were received by A. D. Charl
ton from General Passenger Agent Fee.
Mr. Fee's telegram reads:
"Nothing In the report. Colonist rates
were raised by all lines on the 25th, and by
some lines on the 20th, ours among the lat
ter number. There has been a little spat
about Italians from Chicago to St. Paul,
but no demoralization outside of that."
Pennsylvania Germans Coming:.
ST. PAJL, Minn., March 26. A carload
of Pennsylvania Germans went "West to
night over the Northern Pacific for Port
land, where they will locate. They are
the heads of families, who will follow
them. All are wealthy.
MACHINISTS' STRIKE.
One Chicago Firm Agrrees to the Dc.
saands of the Men.
CHICAGO, March 26. Over 100 striking
machlnsts, formerly employed by the Sie
mens & Halske Company, today returned
to work for that corporation, their de
mands for a nine-hour working day and
a minimum scale of wages having been
granted. The firm, however, refused to
recognize the business agent otherwise
the "walking delegate,'- and negotiations
were conducted through a shop commit
tee, which will hereafter negotiate with
the management in place of the business
agent All difficulties that may hereafter
arise will be referred to arbitration for
settlement. The settlement of the strike
Is looked upon in the nature of a compro
mise, though both sides claim a victory.
Labor leaders claim that negotiations are
being conducted with other chops for the
return to work of the striking machinists
under efmilar conditions. Efforts of sev
eral other machinery manufacturers to
open their shops today met with failure,
as no men appeared for work In response
to advertisements.
Backbone of Strike Broken.
CHICAGO, March 26. The Times-Herald
says:
"The Machinist Union claims to have
made such progress in the settlement of
its differences with individual firms as to
have practically broken the backbone ol
the machinists' strike in Chicago. The
new form of agreement adopted by the
machinists, which does away with nearly
all the objectionable features, has been
signed by 22 firms, and It Is expected that
today 700 of the 6000 striking machinists
in Chicago will be back at work under the
new agreement

KEEPING HiS LINES OPEN
CAUSB OF THE PROLONGED HALT
AT BLOEMFOXTEIX.
Roberts Will Xot Advance Until He Is
Certain He Can Keep His Com
munication Intact.
LONDON, March 28. The continued ab
sence of an aggressive movement on the
part of the BrlUsh is best explained in a
dispatch from Bloemfonteln, dated March
25, and published In the second edition of
the Times today. It says:
"The conditions existing in the occupied
territory render Imperative the somewhat
prolonged halt at Bloemfonteln. It Is nec
essary that the effect of the proclama
tion should have time to make Itself felt.
"It Is eald that danger of annoyance to
the line of communication may be ap
prehended unless the territory behind the
advancing forces is rendered absolutely se
cure. The accuracy of this view Is proved
by the enemy's breaking up Into Isolated
groups such as that which attacked the
guards' officers Friday.
"The adjustment of financial and mu
nicipal matters In the Free State Is now
chiefly occupying the attention of the
Governor and his legal and financial ad
visers. The military regime is being con
ducted with great smoothness, but recent
investigations show that great caution
must be exercised in dealing with persons
apparently loyal."
This summary is probably an accurate
explanation of the frequent appearance
and disappearance of Boers and insur
gents upon which the reports are so con
flicting, and which so puzzle the British
military critics.
General Methuen appears to be await
ing transportation, and with Colonel Plum
el's forces on half rations, there now
seems little likelihood of the immediate
relief of Mafeking, though neither from
this quarter, nor from Roberts or Buller,
Is there any direct news today.
The government buildings at Cape Town
narrowly escaped destruction by fire last
night The state papers, after being much
damaged, were removed.
A Lourenco Marquez special says tne
Transvaal authorities are evidently re
cruiting actively, and large numbers of
French, Dutch and Belgian volunteers are
constantly passing through that place to
join the Boer forces.
CRON'JE'S BIAJXDER.
Failed to See the Significance
of
Roberts' Tornlnt? Movement.
NEW YORK, March 26. Count Adel
bert Sternberg, a young Austrian noble,
who spent two months in the western Boer
camps up to the time of his capture by
the English on February 15, gave the cor
respondent of the Neue Frele Presse In
teresting particulars of the effect produced
upon the burghers by the unexpected ap
pearance of the British forces in the
Orange Free State. These confirm tho
previous statements that General Cronje
failed to recognize the significance of Lord
Roberts strategic movement
Count Sternberg arrived at Magerefon
,teln soon after the Boer victory of De
cember 11. He found the camp in Jubilant
spirits. The burghers began early in
February to observe the arrival of large
masses of troops In the English camp
and on the 10th they received news of the
British advance on Koffyfontein. Count
Sternberg rode to Jacobsdal to recon
nolter and came In sight of British pa
trols. That evening 600 burghers were
sent to check the advance of the British
cavalry- General Cronje's opinion was
that the English were advancing with
the object of cutting off the retreat of
the Boer detachment at Colesberg.
On the morning of tho xiih Count Stern
berg found the English endeavoring to
cross the Ramdam Ford, opposed by the
Boers. Two wounded Innlskllling Dra
goons told him that Lord Kitchener was
proceeding to the relief of Klmberley with
14.000 men. While bathing in the Piet, the
Count saw several English regiments
march past Escaping notice, he gal
loped back to Cronje's camp and told
what he had seen. He met with In
credulity, the Boers Insisting that large
bodies of troops neither would nor could
undertake such a movement The only ac
tion taken by General Cronje was to send
200 men across the river to cut off the
English transport wagons, which they suc
ceeded In doing.
On the following day, five miles from
the camp, Count Sternberg saw at a
short distance huge clouds of dust which
Indicated the presence of troops on the
march. At this time General Cronje was
waiting in the trenches at Magersfonteln
In expectation of an attack. Count
Sternberg's news was laughed at by the
Boers In camp. It was not until the next
day that General Cronje began to recog
nize the seriousness of the situation. The
cannon were hastily withdrawn from
Magersfonteln, two guns being dispatched
to attack French's cavalry. In the en
gagement at Kalkfontein the disorder was
such that Major Albrechfs artillery fired
on distant detachments without knowing
for certain whether they were burghers
or English. Even then the Boers were
still of the opinion that the attack was
directed against their camp, and conse
quently set about raising defenses in the
rear.
Landroat Steyn, who arrived from Ja
cobsdal, was convinced that the game
was lost on the Modder River, while Gen
eral Cronje still awaited the main attack
In the lntrenchments at Magersfonteln.
and did not wish to weaken his position
there. The Immediate vicinity of tho
British with a large force of artillery had
created great confusion In the camp, which
at 2 o'clock In the morning removed to
a safer position about three miles to
the southwest The breaking up of the
camp greatly affected tho spirits of the
entire Boer force. When the British re
newed the attack early next morning it
was evident to Count Sternberg that the
burghers had no stomach for the fight
He says:
"As I rode out I met numbers of flying
Boers, whom I vainly endeavored to re
strain. The panic was general and each
sought safety in the lntrenchments at
Magersfonteln. Toward noon, when a
large number of Boers had already made
off, a very bad spirit began to prevail
in camp. The field cornets urged Cronje
to summon a council of war and those
present decided to evacuate the camp and
retreat to Bloemfonteln. via Ollphants
fonteln. It came to high words at this
council, at which Vlllebloes and I were
also present The majority of the Free
State burghers, who were anxious for
their cattle and property, positively insist
ed upon the retreat"
UNIQUE HANDKERCHIEF.
A. D. .Chnrlton Gets One From Ixtuls
vllle, Typical of Oregon.
A. D. Charlton, of the Northern Pacific,
Is engaged in a soirtgwhat unusual un
dertaking. It appears that a number ot
young people belonging to a church soci
ety at Louisville, Ky., have hit upon a
novel scheme to raise funds, and have en
listed Mr. Charlton In their plan. They
propose early In April to hold a church
fair, at which will be sold at auction a
large number of handsome silk handker
chiefs. Bach of these represents a state
of the Union. The" one representing Ore
gon was recently sent to Mr. Charlton. It
Is large, and of white silk, beautifully em
broidered in colors. The centei -piece
shows a dragon, as typical of Oregon's
strength In the sisterhood of states. Also
a peacock is shown, typifying the pride
of the state. Mr. Charlton sent the hand
kerchief to Governor Geer. He had the
great seal of the state placed upon the
handkerchief, and then sent it back here.
It arrived yesterday. Mr. Charlton pro
poses still furthpr to add to the decora

WAGON WHEELS STOLEN.
Tlilef nt "Work Xenr Rockwood
Slde Affairs.
East
Several sets of wagon wheels have been
stolen within the past 10 days from farm
ers living along the Base Line road, near
Rockwood. and a farmer named Michael
Spahnmadecomplalnt in Justice Vree and s
Court, charging Fred Strong, formerly a
resident of Rockwood. but now living on
Beach street, Alblna, with the larceny of
the four wheels of his vehicle. It was al
leged In the complaint that tho wheebt
were stolen on the night of March 9. On
tho following morning Spahn found his
wagon in the rear part of his house, mlniw
the wheels. Strong had been seen at
Rockwood, driving a wagon, by a black
smith who says he recognized Spahn's
property, and the latter then traced Strong
to his home on Beach street, Alblna. Here
he discovered, he says, that his four
wheels had been placed on Strong's
wagon, but they had been repainted and
fixed up so that it might have been a diffi
cult matter to prove his property, had not
the boxing of all the wheels been cracked
in a peculiar manner. Spahn got the
privilege of examining the wheels with a
view to buying them, and he took them
from the wagon. Spahn swore out a war
rant for the arrest of Strong, who said
that he bought the wheels from a second
hand dealer. Constable Cox had been In
structed to accept $25 cash bond. Strong
deposited a check for $50 with the Lincoln
Park groceryman, who gave the Con
stable $25, and the former was released,
promising to show up yesterday; but he
did not come around, and the ball will be
forfeited.
J. Sullivan was also In from the coun
try yesterday, and said that the four
wheels from his wagon had been stolen a
few nights ago. There is also a stray
wagon In a field a short distance from
the Base Line road, where It was aban
doned last week, which was probably
taken from some farm. When It was
first seen it was found to contain about a
dozen dead chickens, recently killed. The
game is to Temove the wheels from wag
ons that may be some distance from tho
farmhouses, bring them to tho city, re
paint them and destroy the marks by which
they might bo Identified. In the case of
the wagon wheels of Spahn, the only way
by which he could identify them was by
the broken boxing. According to the
complaints made at Justice Vreeland'a
Court It Is judged that there has been
considerable thieving along this line.
Instruction by Pictures.
At tho Central School a large number of
historical pictures has been Introduced by
Professor Robinson and the teachers, for
use In the art and historical studies. These
pictures are somewhat along the line of
stereoptlcon views, such as are in use In
the Williams-Avenue School. There is a
vast difference in the expense of procur
ing the engravings and the stereoptlcon
views. Tho engravings mounted on heavy
cardboard cost about 3 cents, while the
slides of the stereoptlcon cost many tlme3
that much. Those procured for the Cen
tral School are about 4x6 Inches and larg
er, and are being mounted on heavy card
board for use in the classrooms. These
pictures will be distributed to tho rooms
according to grades and the studies pur
sued, and are to be used to illustrate th
text They are very wide In range, and
embrace the pictures of. prominent men
who have figured in historical affairs.
There areplctures of important scenes and
buildings in the United States and other
countries. Pictures of faces embraco
those of Loncfellow, Whlttler, Bryant
Poo and a long list of others. Of his
torical characters, there are pictures of
Washington, Jefferson, Robert Morris and
others. The collection Is regarded as very
valuable and helpful in fixing the mind
of the pupil on Important events. The
new collection obtained by the Centra
School numbers about 300. The teachers
aro mountalng the pictures themselves.
Cast Side Notes.
For tho present the Woodstock cycle
path will be completed to the Mann hill,
on the Kelly road, for the reason that
the grade of this hill will be cut down
over two feet. It would be a waste of
money to build a path up this hill until
the contemplated reduction of the grade
has been made. A
Gilbert Auxiliary Camp moved into the
new hall on the corner of East Morrison
street and Union avenue, last evening.
Several members were added to thrt roll,
and the new organization promises to
succeed. It still asserts that it is the first
general auxiliary camp of tho Spanish
American "War in the United States that
has been started. It was organized on a
basis similar to the Second Oregon camps.

It Reaches, Soothes and Heals Every Part of the Mucous Membrane, Curing Invarl
' ably AI! Forms of Catarrhal Diseases of the Nose, Throat, Vocal Cords,'
Bronchial Tubes, Lungs and Deafness Treatment and
Medicine Until Cured, $5.00 Per Month.
Dr. Cop eland's Xeiv Treatment, that
lias lifted the darkness and blight of
the tvoriT "Incurable" from linndreds
of thousands of these cases of dis
eases In the Throat, Bronchial Tubes
and Lnngx, works Its curative action
for two reasons.
(1) It reaches every sore spot, from
the orifice of the nose to the deepest
part of the lungrs, to the Innermost
recesses of the middle ear.
(2) Instead of Irritating, inflamlnp:
and feeding: the fires of the disease,
It soothes, quiets, heals and enrcs.
What 13 the treatment that cures these
conditions, once regarded Incurable? By
what process does it restore the diseased
membrane, remove the poison and relieve
the soreness of disease? Let the experi
ence of persons cured and being cured
tell.
How It Cures Catarrh.
Here Is a patient taking treatment for
Catarrh of the Head. He breathes the
soothing medication through his nostrils,
and the nasal channels open up, the
stuffed-up feeling In the head leaves and
ho can breathe naturally through the nose
again. The dull pains across the front of
the head fade away, and the nasal mem
brane Is soothed until the Inflammation
and soreness are all gone. The bad odor
of the breath passes away, and the lost
sense of smell returns. The dropping in
the throat is checked, the nose does not
stop up toward night any more, the sneez
ing and snuffing have ceased, the dis
charge from the nose grows loss and less
and finally stops altogether. The disease
has been checked and eradicated from the

COOS COUNTY'S NEEDS.
First nnd T'oremost, Rail Communi
cation "With Portland.
F. M. Flye, whoso home Is at Marsh
field, Coos County, Is in Portland on his
way to Blaine, Wash., to superintend a
cannery there the ensuing season, for the
Alaska Packing Company. Like all the
people of Coos County, Mr. Flyo earn
estly hopes for rail communication to
Portland, In order that the Southern Ore
gon coast trade may find Its way to where
It belon-xs. the metropolis of the state.
Mr. Flye and party came up by the pteam
er Del Norte, as all land communication
between Coos Bay and Roseburg or Drain
has been cut off by the condition of the
wagon roads.
"Tho 0 miles of road over the Coast
Range." he fcays, "are simply 40 miles of
mud, much of which Is hub deep, and
stages have quit running. We of Coos
County obtain our mall by the horseback
route, and even saddle horses have a hard
time getting over the mountains. The
road to Drain has been badly cut up the
past season by freight wagons hauling
heavy loads of salmon for the Portland
markets, and there Is no telling when tho
highway will be fit for stages or light rlga
again."
He thinks a regular line of steamers be
tween Portland and Coos Bay would do
much toward building up trade, but steam
ers thus far plying between these points
have always been pulled off after a few
trips, and so Coos County merchants are
afraid to transfer their trade from San
Franclscoj as there is no knowing when
tho lines of communication will be sus
pended. The Alliance and the Homer have
bath been chartered for Nome, and peoplo
of Marshfleld expect every trip of the Del
Norte to be the last, as there has been talk
of this eteamer being put on the Alaskan
route also.
"Our people all prefer to trade in Port
land, as goods can be purchased cheaper
here than In San Francisco," he continued,
"and Po.tland Is our natural market for,
butter, cheese and eggs, as we could land
them here much cheaper than we can .n
San Francl3co. Portland people would rot
bo compelled to import so much Eastern
butter, oheese and eggs if her merchants
could call on Coos County's supply.
"We ship a great many cargoes of tim
ber to San Francisco every year, and the
product of our coal mines also finds its
way there Instead of to Portland, because
the merchants of San Francisco know the
value of our trade and consequently make
an effort to keep It. The completion cf
the railroad to Roseburg would help us
out In the matter of lumber and coal,
though when this road is to be finished no
one over our way knows. There Is some
talk of a railroad being built this year
from Eureka to Crescent City, Cal., and
this might be a forerunner of a further
extension northward to Marshfleld, but
our people have very little hope of this. "
"Wo look for a continuous coast line
from Astoria down some day, and many
of us think this Is where the road should
have been built In the first place. Instead
of over the Slsklyous. Our wealth of for-

It has not been driven down into his
throat or Into his lungs or into his ears,
as la often done by other treatments.
How It Cures Diseases of the
Throat
Here Is another patient who -had Ca
tarrh In the Head. He caught cold after
cold, and the disease spread down into
his throat He breathes and drinks in the
disease-banishing medication. It bathes
the membranes of his head and throat
Tho soreness of the head and throat be
comes less, and the desire to hawk and
spit is disappearing, the sense of taste Is
returning, and the voice again becomes
soft 'and melodious. There is no more
gagging and vomiting In the morning. No
longer does every exposure to the weather
result In a stuffed-up throat that becomes
sore and inflamed and no longer does ho
find his throat and tongue dry as chips
when ho wakes from refreshing sleep.
How It Cures Deafness.
Hero Is another patient who for years
had been a sufferer. Every fresh cold
seemed to stay longer than former colds,
and he noticed that his ears got stopped
up and his hearing became duller and
duller, and there were ringing and buz
zing noises in his ears. The Catarrh had
passed upward and backward from tho
throat along the Eustachian tubes leading
from the throat into the ear. Ho had
visited Throat doctors and Ear aootors
and Catarrh doctors, without relief. In
this condition we find him Inhaling the
never-failing medication, and soon ho no

All strength comes from within.
To have strong muscles you must
