JUDGES GIVEN DISCRETION Sentences May Be Pronounced in Three Different Ways. Gov- . crnbi Will Be fcHeVcd of 3Iuch Itesnonsibility. . SALEM. Or.. May $. (Speciki;)-pre-gon'n experiment -with the parole- "system in the punishment and reformation of criminals will begin on the 19th of this month, when the acts of the last Legis lature upon this subject will take effect. Two acts were passed, one authorizing the Circuit Judge to parole a prisoner at the time- of passing sentence, and the other authorizing the Circuit Judge to sentence the defendant for an indefinite period and empowering the Governor to parole hfm for good behavior after he lias served the minimum time prescribed by law. An indefinite sentence will ex pire by limitation of law when the pris oner has served the maximum time pro Aided as a penalty for the offense. The new laws are expected to accom 1 lii-h two results encourage men to re form, and relieve the state of the burden of maintaining them in prison. The pa role system is- intended, of course, to be resorted to only whore the offender Is not a confirmed criminal and will probably not violate the law jgain ,if given his free dom. A large proportion of the men now in the penltentlarj- are confirmed cflml rals, and many have been sentenced to terms in prison two or three times. There are many, nevertheless, such as those now on the trusty list, who would be safe if turned loose to go where they please. Hereafter, when a man Is found guilty of a crime for which he may be punished b imprisonment in the penitentiary from two to ten years, for example, the Judge maj pass sentence in ene of three ways. He may sentence him to a definite term of imprisonment. He may sentence him to a definito term of Imprisonment and then make an order pardoning him dur ing good bf-havlor. He may sentence him t' an indefinite term of Imprisonment sind lraie the matter of parole to the discre tion of the Governor after the minimum term of two years has been served. Governor Chamberlain says that his ex perience as a prosecuting attorney leads lilm to believe that about one In twenty persons who are convicted of a crime would be suitable persons to be paroled bv tuc Circuit Judge when they are sen tenced. If the Judges exercise fully their power of parole, there will be compara tively few who will be suitable for parole by the Governor. Those paroled, he thinks, will be nearly all young men. P OWE It TO WITJIDItAW BONDS Attorney-General Gives Opinion lo School Board. SALEM. Or., May S. (Special.) That a school district has power to with draw bonds from sale in the same man ner that it places them on sale, was decided by Attorney-General Crawford today in an opinion rendered in answer to a request from the Treasurer of Klamath Ceynty. Klamath Falls school district had -voted bonds in the sum of $13,500 for the purpose of erecting a school build ing, and the bonds wcro placed in the hands of the County Treasurer for sale, as required by law. The bids for the construction of the building were about S20.000. and the School Board desired to discontinue the sale of the bonds. The matter was referred to the Attorney-General, and he' holds that the law Is mandatory in requiring him to proceed with the sale unless the dls-fl'-t revokes Its order. He holds that this rescinding of the order to sell bonds cannot be accomplished by the School District Board, but must be by the vote- of the people of. the district at a meeting called for that purpose. Tie says that, although there Is no law expressly authorizing the voters of a school district to rescind their "order, there Is an Implied power on the part of a public corporation to repeal any order it has power to make, provided ro person has acquired a right to have the order carried out. The question has also been presented 'whether the Board has authority to proreed with the construction of the building, paying therefor the amount of money received from the sale of the bonds and issuing warrants for the balance. This question has not been answered," but will probably be decided in the negative. MVSIC A SPECIAL FEATURE Commencement Programme Being Prepared for Pacific University. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY.

WITNESSES ALL FUDDLED 3fystcry How Bullet Struck a By stander Who Was Behind the 'Shooter and" Clear .Out -of Range. PRAIRIE CITY, Or.. May S.-(Special.) VT. H. Lucy, City Marshal, who was ar rested, on the charge of killing Ernest Hickman In Lcn Woods' saloon, on the morning of April 29. at 2:45, was exam ined before Justice J. TV. Mack, this city. May 3 and 4. and bound over to appear before the grand jury on the charge of manslaughter. He Immediately furnished $2000 bonds. The three women witnesses were held under $230 bonds each, which they furnished in cash. The Justice, in rendering the decision, stated that although the evidence pro duced by the state was far from satisfac tory, owing to the Intoxicated condition of the witnesses at the time of the af- SKELETON OF A MAMMOTH, fray, mid the mystery concerning the shooting which had not beep cleared, or explained away by any of the cvldonce, still, as the defendant waived examina tion, he would hold the defendant, not on. the charge of murder but only that of manslaughter. Eleven witnesses were produced by the state (nohe by the defendant), of which eight were present at the time of the shooting. In a much intoxicated condition, who all agreed that Marshal Lucy, the defendant, did the shooting that killed Hickman: that the trouble between the women and interference by one of the men created an Impression that serious trouble was pending, which the Marshal tried to prevent, but which Hickman ob jected to, by placing his flat hand upon the Marshal's breast and pushing him back (so he fell on the floor, one of the witnesses testified), saying that he was running the house. When the Marshal got on his feet the shooting occurred, by which Hickman was killed and Halght was wounded In the leg. This In brief Is the evidence by the eye witnesses. However, there Is a mystory connected with the shooting which was not explained. The Marshal was facing Hickman at the time of the shooting, ad Halght was standing eight or ten feet be hind the Marshal, according to the 'evi dence; still the bullet went through the body of Hickman, Just below the ribs, and the spent bullet must have struck the wall, bounced back and struck Halght In the leg. which Is an utter Impossibility, as the bullet was found on the floor of the saloon the next morning, and was not the least dented Or flattened. Special Constable T. M. Bay, who had charge of the prisoner, snld that the prisoner had been cut in the hand by some sharp Instrument, about an Inch long, and that blood was on his coat where the hand had been touching. John S. Hughes, an old resident of this place, says that he has known the defend ant, A. H. Lucy, for about 00 3ears and has never known him to have been In trouble before. The father of the defend ant, who died In 1M3, had been a respected and honored citizen of Umatilla County for many years. He was County Judge of that county from 1SH to 1SSS. Mr. Lucy was Deputy Marshal and special Consta ble for this precinct for about a year, and whenever any criminals were to be found he always brought his man. and has served as a very efficient officer.

Thousands of sufferers know that tho reason why they are irritable and de pressed and nervous and. sleepless is be cause their food does riot digest, bnt how to getrid of the difficulty is the puzzling question. Good digestion calls for strong diges tive organs, and strength comes from a supply of good rich blood. For this reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion. " They have been my best doctof," he says. I was suffering from dyspepsia. The pains in my 'stomach after meals were almost unbearable. My sleep was very irregular and my complexion was sallow. As the result of using eight boxes of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends in France, I have escaped all these troubles, and am able again to take pleasure in eating." A rery simple story, bnt if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it might have been a tragio one. When dis comfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot be much pleasure in living.

"The beauty of a woman's face or figure is but the external sign of the good health within," says Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., the specialist ia women's dissases. Further, to be hap py and beautiful one must naturally have good health. Now, if a woman has draggiag-down feelings, together with constantly re turning pains and aches, a too great drain upon hervi talitvand strength. she will sever look beautiful. The feelings of nervousness, the befogged mind, the ill-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, all result from those disorders peculiar to women, and the only way to effect their cure is to strike at the source of the difficulty. There Is every reason why she should write some great specialist, one who has made the diseases of women a specialty for a third of a century like Dr. R. V. Pierce, founder of the Invalid' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. All correspondence is held sacredly" confidential, and he gives his advice free and without charge.
