In the Knapp murder trial today, Police Officer Charles Morton testified to the vain search for the box Knapp' said he had thrown away at Lindenall.

Judge Belden overruled the motion and the defense began. The chief defense Is Insanity. Knapp's mother, Mrs. Susan Knapp, was called. Her testimony tended to prove that Knapp was Insane as a result of Injuries received In youth.

This afternoon Mrs. Knapp detailed her husband's action about the time ot the alleged murder, relating numerous wild as sertions and acts tending to show Insan ity. In reply to a direct question by Law yer Darby, she said sne thought Alfred waa Insane. Prosecutor Gard, on cross examination, tried to show that Mrs. Knapp's memory was not reliable. He succeeded in involving her In repeated con tradictions and errors as to the date of ac cidents and other circumstances. The deposition of Mrs. M. T. Marshall, Knapp's former teacher at Madison, Ind., was read after Mrs. Knapp left the stand. Mrs. Marshall said that Knapp was a dull, disobedient boy. Incapable of learning and lacking. Sn her opinion, all discrimination between right and wrong. She thought he was unbalanced. He was often sick in school and subject to bad headaches.

Booster for the Centennial on Her Way East. St. Paul Pioneer Press. Mrs. Edyth Tozier Weatherred, of Port land, Or., stopped off In St. Paul yester day on her way to Atlantic City, where she Is going as a delegate from the Port land Press Club to the 13th annual con vention of the International League of Press Clubs. Mrs. Weatherred Is well known In newspaper circles, and through her active connection wltn theV great ex positions that have been held. In this country. She represented Oregon at Oma ha, Buffalo and Charleston, and will per form the same office at the SL Louis Ex position. She owns and edits "The Ex position," a paper published In the inter ests of the Lewis and Clark Centennial, and is also one of the most active work ers and a commissioner for Oregon's big fair. Mrs. Weatherred is very sanguine over the prospects of- the centennial, and thinks that It .will compare favorable with any of the big world's fairs that have been held In this country. The ob ject of the fair Is to show to the world hdw rich and productive is the soil of this country, how varied Its resources, how well adapted It Is to manufacturing In dustries of all kinds and what admirable facilities It has for commerce with the whole world, but more particularly with the Orient. The site of the exposition will be known as the "Rose City." This is fitting, as Oregon is, par excellence, the rose state of the Union. To show what she can achieve In the way of rose-growing, a plat of 25 acres will be laid out In roses. A committee of ladles has been appoint ed to call on all the house owners to get them to plant every available piece of garden with roses, so that the city will .appear to be a veritable bower. Although the exposition does not take Tilace until May 1. 1905, the engineers are already busy grading the grounds, aiTd no chances will be taken on not being pre pared at the schedule date. Another feature of the exposition that the ladles are taking a prominent part In Is the movement to erect a statue on the grounds In front of the women's building to Sacajawea, the little Shoshone Indian girl who was so prominent a factor In the success, of the Lewis and' Clark expedi tion. Sacajawea was a Shoshone, but had been stolen from her own people and taken to the Mandans In the land of the Dakotas. She became the wife of a fur .trader, but could not get over the; longing to return' to her own people and the land of her birth. One day when she was longingly watching the great red ball of fire dip low In the West, Lewis and Clark, with their attendants, appeared and be gan making friends with the Mandans. and trying- to gain some information of the route to the land beyond the moun tains. After many fruitless consultations with the Indians, whose old chiefs made quaint and bewildering sketches on the ground and skins, little Sacajawea; 15 years, old, and ' with a papoose on her i J j back, declared her Intention of pllotlnc the expedition. The narrative ot her life on the trail is romantic and sympathetic in the extreme. When tthe men were sick with mountain fever It was she who knew the healing roots and herbs wherewith they were nursed back to strength and their wounds were soothed by the leaves that she made trips Into the forests to find. When food ran short. It was Sacajawea who found the harmless herbs and wholesome camos, and when the hostile red men attacked the little band of explorers, the pleadings of the Indian woman and her explanations of the friendly intent of the expedition saved them many an encounter that would have ended disastrously. When endeavoring to navigate a swollen stream the boats were upset and Sacaja wea Jumped Into the river at the risk ot her life and rescued a box containing Captain Clark's papers, charts and notes. Through all the countless difficulties and troubles encountered by the explor ers. Sacajawea stayed with the expedition ani with Lewis and Clark safely reached the mouth of the Columbia River. HniTks Fly 150 Miles per Ho nr. Successful American. It is said that the speed of swallows when emigrating. Is not less than 50 miles an hour so that, when aided by the wind, they soon reach warmer latitudes. It has also been calculated that the swal low can fly at the rate of 92 miles an hour, and hawks and several other tribes at that of 150 miles an hour!

Or HOPELESS CASES When the doctor leaves and says the case Is hopeless, what remains to be done? Nothing. If the doctor's word Is final. Much, If you will listen to j the statements of men and women who were once "hopeless cases" given up by doctors, and who were perfectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Nothing is more sure than that thousands of men and women with diseased lungs, obstinate coughs, hemorrhage, ema ciation and night sweats, have been restored to perfect health by the uso of the "Dlscov cry." Will It cure you? It has cured In ninety-eight cases out of every hun dred where it was given a fair and faith ful trial. By that record you have- only two chances In a hundred of failure and ninety-eight chances of being restored to perfect health. It is worth trying. Abram Freer. Esq., of. Rockbridge, Greena County, 111., writes: "My wife had a sever attack of pleurisy and lunsr trouble: the doc tors gave her up to die. She commenced tak ing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and she began to improve from the first doeo. By the time she had taken eight or ten bot tles she was cured, and It was the cause of a large amount being sold here. I think the 'Golden Medical Discovery Is the best medi cine in the world for lung trduble." Free.
