B'ANDITS STILL AT LARGE
THE GHOCTAW HOLD-UP WORK OF
SEVEN MEX.
Robbers Said to Have Secured Less
, r Than Three Hundred Dollars
Other Crime JXcvra.
MEMPHIS. Tenn., April 23. Detectives
?hive been workias all day at the scene
of the daring train robbery on the Choc-
taw, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad, near
Iron Mountain Crossing, Ark., at an
early hour today, but so far no arrests
have been made. It is stated by an offi
cial of the "Wells, Fargo Express Company
that the bandits secured less than 5200.
It Is suspected that the men -who perpe
trated the robbery -were In Memphis last
night. A short time before the -westbound
train over the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis left the Calhoun-street
station at S:30 o'clock last night, two men
approached the ticket -window and asked
for tickets to Bridge Junction. Ticket
Agent Coltart and Night Agent Wash
ington were on duty at the time. They
.declined to sell the tickets to that place,
as no trains stopped there. The men in
sisted on buying tickets, both appearing
nervously anxious to board the outgoing
Kansas City train. They stated that
tickets were wanted for several persons.
The supposition is that the robbery
was planned to take place at Bridge Junc
tion, and that the robbers were the men
who wanted tickets to that point last
night, their purpose being to go to Bridge
Junction on the Kansas City train at S:50
o:clock and wait for the coming of the
Choctaw express, which reaches Bridge
Junction about 12:03 A. M.
General Agent Longacre, of the "Wells,
Fargo Express Company, who went to
Hurlburt, near the scene of the robbery,
this morning, returned this afternoon. He
said that every effort was being made
to apprehend the bandits and that pri
vate detectives and special agents of the
railroad and express company were en
gaged on the case. Owing to the bottoms
being overflowed he does not think the
bloodhounds will be able to trail the rob
bers. ' The TVells, Fargo Express Com
pany has a standing reward which will
apply In this case. Mr. Long-acre thlnkR
the robbery was the work of seven men.
the number of passengers on trips .have
6hown a wide divergence.
Fireman Cadarr's bond was fixed in the
Police Court today at J2000. The cases
will come up for hearing In court prob
ably tomorrow. When Detectives arrest
ed Cadarr the latter carried a lunch bas
ket In which were found almost a thou
sand punched tickets supposed to have
been taken from the furnace at
the company's plant where the
tickets were usually destroyed.
Later, detectives found 4000 tickets of the
same kind In a trunk at his home. Cadarr
Is married and is 38 years old. His was
the first arrest. He made a frank ad
mission of his part In the affair, and
told the detectives that others were in
It with him.
Indictment of Patrick.
NEW YORK, April 23. Albert T. Pat
rick, David I Short and Morris Meyer
were taken before the grand jury again
today, that body considering the charge
against Patrick of causing the death of
William M. Rice. The three men said
that, acting on the advice of counsel,
they preferred not to testify. After the
Jury had adjourned for the day, It was
said an order had been given for the
presentation of an indictment against
Patrick, on the charge that he caused
Rice's death, and for Indictments against
Short and Meyer on charges of forgery
In having, as alleged by the prosecution,
signed their names as witnesses to a
will bearing the signature of William M.
Rice, which signature, it is claimed, was
forged.

EASTMAN MURDER CASE.
Formal Opening: of the Trial of the
ll&ri nrd Instructor.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 23. The
trial of Professor R. Eastman upon the
charge of murdering his brother-in-law,
Richard H. Grogan, Jr., July 4 last, was
formally opened In the Superior Court at
East Cambridge today. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney George A. Sanderson made
the opening statement for the state, de
scribing in detail the relationship of the
accused and the deceased, the premises
on which they lived and the surroundings
of the place where the shooting occurred.
The state would show, he said, that
after the shooting the men were seen to
be struggling for what appeared to be a
large revolver; Grogan was heard to
shout: "Oh. don't; oh. don't," followed by
"Charles, you have murdered me," also
that Grogan made these statements just
before his death: "Charles Eastman has
murdered me. He shot me twice and he
did it purposely," and "There Is the man
who shot me." pointing to Eastman. He
also claims that Eastman jnust have been
close to Grogan, as the former's clothes
were burned by the shot from a pistol
which he says was fired at him by Gro
gan. The chief witness today was Medi
cal Examiner William Swan, who gave
in detail his examination of Grogan's
body.
A hint of what may turn out to be a
portion of the defense Jn the trial was
presented In the cross-examination of Dr.
Swan by Counsel Bartlett, who asked
;majiy questions with reference to the
" nnmber of times the witness had scon the
"bullet he extracted from the body of
Richard, H. Grogan. Dr. Swan said he
had seen it twice, once in October, before
the grand jury, and once in the office
of the District Attorney, later in the
year. The manner in 'which these and
other questions were put led many to
conclude that the defense would main
tain that the bullet on exhibition was
(not the one taken from Grogan's body.
The disclosure on the part of the "wit
ness: that he had performed a second
autopsy on the body of Grogan at the
tomb" Jn Mount Auburn cemetery was the
j-ensatlonal bit of testimony of the day.
Dr. Swan, accompanied by Medical Ex
nmjier Durreil. of Somerville. State De
tective Whiteley and an undertaker, went,
to jjthe tomb and the witness removed
f rom" Grogan's body a -piece of the fifth
rib and a fragment of the bone, which he
had sawed at the first autopsy. Witness
admitted that the defense was not rep
resented at the autopsy, nor had any no
tice of the intention to hold the autopsy
been given to the defense.
Hanged From a Veranda.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 23. Tonight
at 9 o'clock a mob of 500 men forcibly en
tered' the Courthouse at Springfield, Tenn.,
took Wyatt Mallory, a negro, from the
officers guarding him and hanged him
from the Courthouse veranda. As the
rope grew taut with the negro's weight
a number of the mob fired a shot into
the swinging body. Then the leader of
the mob warned the Sheriff not to Inter
fere with the corpse until 10 o'clock to
morrow -morning, and late tonight it still
swings from the place of execution. Yes
terday, at Adams, Mallory fatally wound
ed J. H. Farmer, a white man. Today
the Sheriff heard that a mob was form
ing and secretly moved the negro from
the jail to the Courthouse for safety.
Callahan's Trial Opens.
OMAHA, Neb., April 23. James Calla
han, the alleged abductor of Edward
Cudahy, Jr., son of the millionaire packing-house
owner, was today brought be
fore Judge Baker, in the criminal branch
of the District Court, for trial on the
charge of robbery of $25,000, which Is the
amount of ransom paid by Mr. Cudahy
for the return of his boy. It Is expected
that nearly 100 witnesses will testify In
the case. After examining 30 talesmen,
12 were secured who were acceptable to
both sides, and tomorrow the prosecu
tion will begin offering its testimony.
The jury i composed mostly of profession
al men, there being but two members
from outside Omaha.
WHOLESALE BIGAMY.
3"evr,Yorlc Man Said to Be tlie Hns
L hand of Fifty Wives.
CHICAGO, April 23. The Chronicle
; says:,
"In the arrest of Count Leopold de
Melville, otherwise known as Leo Fral
quini, who is held by che New York po-
lice on a charge of bigamy, sworn to by
a brother of one of his Chicago wives,
there was brought to light in this city a
romance -whose unfolding reveals the
Count as the hero of more than 100 love
affairs. He is declared to be the husband
of an assortment of wives whose number
Is estimated at not less than 50. As a
duelist on many a blood-stained field of
honor in Europe, the Count became cele
brated nearly a generation ago. His
duels were always fought for love, ad
the wounds received in the onsets he
proudly bears on his face and body. He
at last broke altogether with his father,
a nobleman high in the court and coun
cils of the King of Belgium."
EW YORK, April 23. The man call
ing "himself Count Leo ae Melville, who
is said to be known also as Leo Friencia,
vas arrested here Friday last on the re
quest of the Chicago police. He was ar
raigned before a magistrate Sunday and
was remanded until today. A Chicago
detective reached this city today with
requisition papers, in which the man Is
said to be wanted In Chicago for bigamy.
The New York police say the prisoner
was employed here as a waiter under the
jiame of Fralqulnl. Fralqulnl was not
and had never claimed to oe a count. He
also said he had never fought a duel In
his life and that he had never had any
occupation, except ot waiter.
Attempted Train Wreclsiiijr.
LIVINGSTON, Mont.. April 23. Some
malicious persons attempted to wreck
Northern Pacific train No. 11 at a point
just west of Mission Siding yesterday
afternoon. A large plank was placed
across the track and two large stones
placed on either end of it. Engineer
Manser saw the obstruction, but not in
time to stop his train. The pilot knocked

fered a reward of $1000 for the arrest of
the would-be wreckers.

DAILY CITY STATISTIC.
Marriage License.
Frank Wilson, 24; Nellie Woodmansee,
17.
WASHINGTON, April 23. The fiscal
year 1901 seems likely to exceed any pre
ceding year In its record of exports from
the United States. The steady growth
of our exports from $392,000,000 In 1S70 to
$835,000,000 In 1SS0, $1,030,000,000 In 1S92, and
1.394.000,000 In 1900, has been a subject of
much attention and much favorable com
ment, but It seems that 1901 is to surpass
the record of the year 1900 and bring the
export figure nearly If not quite, to the
$1,500,000,000 mark. The March Import and
export figures, just completed by tho
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, show a to
tal exportation from the United States In
the nine months ending with March,
1901, of $1,140,170.7287 or $S6.540,032 In excess
of last year, which, held the highest record
In the history of our export trade.
Another interesting fact developed by
the March' figures of our foreign com
merce Is that imports seem likely to show
a decided decrease In-1901 as compared
with 1900, while the exports are show
ing the Increase heretofore Indicated. The
figures of the nine months ending with
March, 1901. show a decrease of $42.292.639
In the Imports, as compared with those in
the corresponding months of the preced
ing year. Thus the excess Tjf exports
over imports In the nine months- under
discussion is more than $100,000,000 greater
than In the corresponding months of last
year and far beyond the figures of any
preceding year. The excess of exports
over Imports in the nine months ending
with March, 1901, is $540,087,337. -as against
$411,854,606 in the corresponding months of
1900, an Increase of $128,832,671 in the net
excess of exports over imports for the
nine months of 1901 as compared with the
corresponding period of the fiscal year
1900.
The farmers are apparently .the chief
beneficiaries ,In this remarkable Increase
In our exports, and are in the fiscal year
1901 showing greater gains in their ex
ports than are the manufacturers, whoso
record in 1S99 and 1900 showed a greater
percentage of growth than those engaged
in agriculture. The analysis -by the Bu
reau of Statistics of the March exporta
tlons of domestic merchandise has not
yet been completed, but that of the eight
months ending with February showed an
increase of $S8,000,OOQ In the exportation of
agricultural products and but about
$2,000,000 each In manufactures and prod
ucts of the mines, forests and fisheries.
This check in the growth of the expor
tation of manufactures is more apparent
than real, being due in part to the ab
sence of statistics of exports to the Ha
waiian Islands and to the separation ot
the trade of Porto Rico from the regu-'
lar statements of foreign commerce In the
returns to the Bureau'of Statistics; while
the temporary reduction In" the exports
to China due -to the disturbed conditions
in that country also accounts for the
lack of growth In the" figures relating to
the exportation of manufactures.
The reduction In the' Import figures Is
largely due to the reductlbn In price of
the materials Imported by manufacturers
and occurs chiefly in the class "Articles in
a crude condition which enter Into the
various prosesses of domestic Industry."
Yet. while the figures of value are ma
terially reduced the quantities of these
particular articles Imported for use in
manufacturing show little reduction. In
India rubber, for example, the fall in
value ( of the Imports during the eight'
months ending with February, 1901, as
compared with the same months of 1S00.
is from $21,000,000' in 1900 'to" $16,000,000 In
1901; "yet the'reductlbn In quantity Is only
from 33,W,000 pounds in. 1900 to 32,000,000.

' MARQUAM GULCH BRIDGES. I'.
Assertion That They Do TVot Benefit
Gulch Property.
PORTLAND, ApriTk-CTo the Editor.)
I wish mildly to object to the conclu
sions of Mr. Corbett, in an ar
ticle in The Oregonian, upon the
subject of street Improvements, as
well as to your editorial comments upon
the same subject. Mr. Corbett arsrues In
favor of making the land In gulches pay
the whole expense of the gulch bridges.
And your brief notice of the question is
In full sympathy apparently, with Mr.
Corbetfs position. Now let us look at
the real facts In the case, and see If that
view Is correct. Take Marquam's gulch
for instance. It forms naturally almost
an impassable barrier to all Intercourse
between South Portland and the central
business portion of the city. It mattered
little what the grade of a man's land
was, so that it was south of the gulch.
Without bridges across the gulch the land
was not a whit more valuable, acre for
STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
GIVE PERFECT DIGESTION, SOUXD
SLEEP, STRONG NERVES.
A Popnlar Remedy- for Dyspepsia
Which Has Made Many Re
markable Cures.
The spring of the year Is the time for
blood purifiers. It Is the season when
we think we must dose ourselves with
sarsaparillas, bitters and the endless list
of so-called blood purifiers and nerve
tonics.
As a matter of fact, th.ere Is but one
possible way In which to purify the blood
and that is, through the stomach and
bowels.
Pure blood results from wholesome food
thoroughly digested. Impure blood re
sults from poor digestion and assimilation.
When the stomach refuses to work prop
erly the food remains too long a time,
fermenting, forming gases, shown by
sour, bitter taste In the mouth, bloatlncr
and belching of gas, and distress and dis
comfort generally. Poor blood, weak
nerves, sleeplessness and a general -don't-care
feeling can always be traced to im
perfect digestion.
This Is the reason why Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets are superior to all other
Spring medicines and blood purifiers.
They give -perfect digestion, the food
does not lie In the stomach for hours.
They give a vigorous appetite, sound
sleep, strong nerves and wholesome "food
well digested, makes pure blood, and In
no other way can the blood be purified.
The idea that a medicine, In Itself, will
purify the blood when the stomach and
digestive organs are out of order is' non
sense. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
used by thousands In preference to "bit
ters," V'after dinner pills" and" "blood
purifiers," because they remove the cause
of the Impure blood, and you do not have
to take them forever to get results. - Dys-1
pepsla is an obstinate disease to cure and
a remedy must be designed especially
for it and .nothing else. Cure-alls will
not cure dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
claimed to cure everything or anything
except Dyspepsia and stomach troubles
and for that It stands alone among patent
medicines. Anyone suffering from any
trouble with their digestion will find these
tablets will give immediate relief and a
permanent cure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are prepared
by the F. A. Stewart Co., of Marshall,
Mich., and sold by" druggists everywhere
at 60 cents per package. No dieting nor
change of habits is required, they digest
acre, than the .gulch land, either for ag
ricultural, residential or "business pur
poses. Therefore the construction of the
bridges was a public necessity.
Further, let us see -what has been the
result of the construction of these ex
pensive bridges referred to. Has it raised
the gulch land up with .the bridges? No.
Has it appreciably raised the value of
such guuch land, or caused It to be built
upon to any noticeable extent? No. Well,
then, what has been the effect upon the
land south of the gulch, and upon the
business Interests of the center of the
town? The "advantaged are loo obvious
to require much 'comment. About all the
real value of South Portland property,
of the central' business Intercourse witli
South. Portland, ls- today dependent upon
the -maintenance: of these bridges across
MaTnimm's culfVh. "
. Then in all--fairness, xwho should build'
these bridges, and "who should 'maintain
them? ; Certainly those r -"who receive the
4chief"benefltj --- - -t
The notion that the gulch. landThas been.
-largely' benefited, beyond the common
benefit, Is a mistake. Witness a quarter
block at the south end of First street
bridge1 offeree!7 in your paper for $750. If
that quarter block 13 worth only $750,
what Is land In the center and 50 feet
below the deck, of the bridge worth? Nil.
Because an -"economic system"' has been
ln vogue "50 years,- Is -certainly-" no jus
tification of a. 'vicious'',- system o robbery-
and evasion In ' a city's -apportionment
of expenses -incurred for tho com
mon wellfare. Like the public sewers,
the public streets are for the common
benefit, and the expense -,of opening arid
maintaining the streets should be appor
tioned by the front foot, but equally, as

THE MT. TABOR CHARIVARI
Parent of One of the Boys Defends
Them.
PORTLAND, April 23. (To the Editor.)
I ask a little of your space In order
that the parents at Mount Tabor may
state their side of a recent controversy.
The Oregonian of last Saturday gave
what purportea to be the evidence for
the -'prosecution "of four 'boys before Jus
tice Vreeland, stating that a crowd of
vandals invaded the Freeman premises,
attacked the house with steel rails used
as battering rams, hammered the doors,
damaged the house and demanded $1 50
from Mrs. Freeman. Also that Justice
Vreeland had no doubt of their guilt and
said they should have been punished, but
were not completely identified, which
statement the 'justice says he did not
make.
Then on Monday a very severe editorial
appeared, using this item referred to as
a basis for scoring the justice, the boys
and their parents, and saying that the
boys wanted money for beer, which Is
something not stated In vnnr nwn row
! Itam
Now, in fairness to those concerned, it
Is well to make these matters a little
more two-sided and put on some glasses
so we can see more clearly. I have In
vestigated the facts quietly and find that
word had been passed about among the
boys that D. C. Fieeman, son of the
lady living at that house, had been mar
ried, and the boys would give him a
charivari. They assembled there and
rails.
My son, like all the boys, was near
there, and joined in the noisy demonstra
tion, but did not enter the yard at all.

Piles Cured While You
You are costive, and nature Is under a constant strain to relieve the condition. This causes a rush of blood to the rectum, and before
long congested lumps appear, itching, painful, bleeding. Then you have piles. There are many kinds and many cures, but piles are not cura
ble unless you assist nature in removing the cause. CASCARETS make effort easy, regulate and soften the stools, relieving the tension and
giving nature a chance to use her healing power. Piles, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other rectal troubles yield to the treatment, and Cascarets
quickly and surely remove them forever. Don't be persuaded to experiment with anything else!
