M. STREET TELLS OF EXPERIENCES AT OLEX. When He Leaves Town, Three Men Meet Him, but He Bests Them, He Says. . Rev. Homer M. Street furnishes The Oregonlan with an account of sundry per sonal experiences of his at' and near Olex. Or., as follows: 'On the night of May 22, the Rev. Ho mer M. Street, who has been charged with championing the cause of the saloon men, met with some strong prohibition IokIc at Olex. It was the first prohibition losrio he has run across that he was un able to handle. It was the logic of the Dark Ages; the logic of a people who do not believe In free speech or free press; the logic of a people who do not believe in the personal freedom of the citizens of a free Republic to do as they please in regard to their own appetite and their own money; it was the logic of brute force the only true logic of prohibition. The prohibitionists of Olex showed their narrow-mindedness by refusing to hear both sides of a question of National in terest. They awaited in ambush on the outside and treated the speaker to a fu sillade of eggs. They pelted him on the way to the hotel, snd the next morning the front of the Hotel Olex was yellow and besmeared with errs. As Mr. Street labored with sponge and water a good por tion of the night In cleaning his clothes, he bad sniHe of victory on hi face. He here has positive proof of the truth fulness of his oft-repeated assertion that Prohibition is a revival of the spirit of Intolerance of the church ' of the Dark Ages." The women of Olex showed their unfitness, for the right of suffrage "by re fusing to hear both sides of a question which confronts the voters of Oregon. There was not a woman at the lecture. "Supposing that he was in no danger in daylight. Mr. Street made known his In tention of walking across country to the railroad the next morning. When within about a mile and a half of Mikkalo. in a lonely spot, where there Is not a house in sight for many miles around, he aaw three men on horseback ahead of him. standing and watching him as though awaiting his arrival. Something In their appearance caused him to suspect that they meant evil, and he looked for a rock. Presently he saw one about the size of a goose egg. Not wishing for them to see him pick It up, he dropped a parcel he was carrying and picked up both parcel and rock at the same time. The men had tied their horses and approached him. One of them carried a rope, and the lead er, who had a knife in his hand, said: "Tie him, boys, and I'll mutilate him. It will be a long time before he speaks against prohibition again.' "As the man with the knife turned to see If the others were going to obey him, Mr. Street struck ' him a blow with the rock over his ear and In quick succession dealt the second man a similar blow. They both fell as though shot and the third man ran away. As tney made no attempt to follow him. Mr. Street thinks they cer tainly must have only intended to frighten him; but they mistook the man. He knows that he is on the side of right, and cannot be frightened nor driven from his purpose," The best Spring medicine is Hood's 8ar aaparilla because it urines the blood. GUILTY OF MANSUUGHTER VERDICT OF JURY IX WIRTAXEX MURDER TRIAL. Slayer of Matt Watllo In Drunken Brawl la Convicted After Short Delay. A verdict of guilty of manslaughter was returned by the Jury at 8 o'clock last night against Oust Wlrtanen, who shot and killed Matt Watllo, as the result of a drunken carousal In the Finnish Hotel at Seventeenth and Pettygrove streets. The Jury retired for deliberation at 8 o'clock. The prisoner, although he hoped for an acquittal, was not disappointed, for the reason that before the trial, through his attorney, Dan J. Malarkey, he offered to plead guilty to manslaugh ter, and District Attorney Manning, who took a more serious view of the case, re fused to accept the plea. Mr. Malarkey thinks. In view of this fact, that he scored a victory. Sentence will be pro nounced later. Yesterday was devoted to the argu ments by counsel to the Jury. Deputy District Attorney Adams opened for the prosecution, followed by Mr. Malarkey for the defense, and District Attorney Manning closed for the state. The speeches were all able efforts. The charge of Judge Frazer to the Jury was comprehensive, covering all the ground fully, and the defendant could not have asked for more impartial Instruc tion. Judge Frazer reviewed the various circumstances oi xiia oft fie, and Instructed the Jury that drunkenness was no ex cuse for the commission of a crime. The court, however. Instructed the Jury that if they found that Wirtanen, on account of the liquor he had drank and toe ter rible beailng be had received, or from other causes, was temporarily Insane when lie killed Watilo, and did not real ize what he was doing, the verdict should be not guilty. The ourt also gave in structions concerning involuntary man slaughter, which Included, the court said, the killing of a person by one engaged in an unlawful act, although the killing was not Intentional. The Jury which tried the case was com posed of A. N. Cummings. Laf Caples J. T Chlnnock, Q. W. . Allen, Charles A. Bauer, William B. Cobb, T. W. Zlgler, B. N. Montross. M. Qulnn, George H. Keene, W. & Gilbert, G. Baker. Wlrtanen's wife attended him during the trial, and the courtroom was filled with his friends. Yesterday evening, while he was waiting for the verdict, his old gray-haired mother sat by his side, administering words of cheer. SHIRT WAIST SALE. 8000 ladles' white Persian lawn.

Following Addresses and the Music, Luncheon and a Social Hour Are Enjoyed. Reciprocity day at the Women's Club brought out the largest attendance of the season. The programme given was an excellent one. Since the lub has been holding Its meetings In the Elks Hall the proceedings have been much more satis factory than they were in other quarters, as the acoustics are good and there is no disturbance from passing street-cars and other outside noise. Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National Equal Suffrage Association, and Mrs. C. C. Bradford, ex-preatdent of the Colorado State Federation of Wo men's Clubs, were the speakers of the afternoon and each delighted her audi ence. Mrs. Bradford's talk was directed chiefly along the lines of women's club work and she told many interesting facts about the things club women have accomplished in the State of Colorado, The club woman Is a much more Impor tant factor in a suffrage state where her opinion and voice amounts to something than she is In other localities, said the speaker. The music of yesterday's meeting was an unusual feature, Mrs. Walter Reed's Treble Clef Club furnishing the vocal numbers and Miss Whitney some delight ful violin solos. . Miss Whitney, who very young, quite astonished those who were not familiar with her playing, her fingering and bow work being excellent and her interpretation most pleasing. Members and guests were invited into the banquet-room at the close of the programme, where refreshments' and a social hour were enjoyed. DEATH OF PIONEER WOMAN Mrs, P. M.
