I By Chicago Tribun l.rMmr-A Win
MILWAUKEE. Wis.. Auc 1.
After takinc iotaon enough to kill
him. Dr. A. J. llrtKhani rot. a
diary of his lait hour, reaffirmed
that he believed that nothing fol
lowed death, speculated as to wby.
when consciouanena was slipping
pleasantly away he hesitated to
take another draught, because it
tasted- nasty, smoked a clear, and
with his eyes on the moving: hands
of his watch welcomed death.
The doctor, linguist and philoso
pher, died last night. The diary
heorne public today. Here ir is:
TersonaHy. I hare been kept so
busy on this last day in the effort
to straighten out matters without
overlooking anything that no time
is left for petty thoughts. Besides,
many clients Interrupted me. keep
ing; me from meditation. I never
theless wound all up. and at 5:40
P. M. took 1! one-half a-ralna of
. poison, which will be sufficient a
quantity, but which works slowly.
Now. at :45 P. M-. I feel somewhat
drowsy, but far away from eternal
sep. I intend to follow the first
poison up by a draught of another
drug, the deadliest of all poisons,
but am putting it off until the nar
cotic effects will be more marked
and my extreme reluctance to swal
low the nasty stuff be overcome.
Delay la Cearared.
"Is It not foolish for a man de
termined to die wlthone one hour to
rather waft than partake of an un
pleasant drink? Two seconds would
finish it all right away, still I am
musing and add more time to my
lite which. In fact, la already ended.
The narcotic has put me in a condi
tion of absolute mental painlessness.
1 am not attempting to review my
past life, and do not try to look Into
the future, a.i I believe that death is
the end. and that there la no here
after. "My thoughts are with my beloved
wife, whose love nnd devotion has
rendered me Infinitely happy for
many years, and with my two
grandchildren. who unconsciously
brought sunshine to me.
"But. although I deeply regret the
grief my voluntary parting from life
for a time must bring on my be
loved ones, ill health and late re
verses make my step desirable.
"7:17 P. M Did I do not know
that I have taken sufficient poison
to warrant result. I could not notice
it from my condition: aside from
fluttering heart action and con
tracted eye pupils and moderate
drowsiness I feel no effects. Still
1 cannot make up my mind to swal
low the deadly poison and have lit
a cigar awaiting, further increaae
of drowsiness, and hope to be soon
ai-le to coa me Into the inevitable.
Kraitstlon Kept I .
"7:12 P. J! I am here yet: hesi
tating to take this poison. My
thougnts become blurred from the
drug and a sensation of supreme
qutetnrte reigns In me. If it were
not for my beloved wife, who Just
telephoned. I would go on waiting.
but t am afraid of too long a delay
because a lapsing into unconscious
ness might result In being; saved by
medical assistance. Ten minutes
more and then the end.
" I am in no manner kept in bus
pense. Just pleasantly and curiously
watching developments. Queer
enougn my oniv wish is I had
additional handkerchief so I could
dispose of the surplua perspiration,
it being close and my skin clammy
from the drug effects.
DR. A. J. M.
Then death arrived.

STATE TO HEAR OF FAIR
lnttniiM Prom P1r Pare
nes Men. are expected to Join
gladly in the enterprise as soon a
fully apprised of the plans. The
state fair board will be invited to
send a car or two.
The mayor's' estimate yesterday
was that not less than 25 to SO cars
will be In line when the caravan
pushes off from Portland on Mon
day. August 14. Time schedule of
the itinerary will be announced
later.
RMtt la Oatllaed.
The route has been outlined, how
ever, and was given out yesterday
Pslng progressively through
the following places: Salem. Al
bany. Corvallla. Eugene. Rosebarg.
Orants Pass. Medford, Ashland.
Klamath Falla. Crater Lake. Bend,
Prlnevllle. Pendleton, Echo, Stana
fleUf, Hertniston, Arlington. Moro.
Waaco, The Dalles, Mosier. Hood
River. Gorge Hotel. Cascade Locks.
The point waa particularly em
phasised In connection with this
routing that, while it will be im
possible at this time to visit eastern
portions of the state, they will be
visited in somewhat similar manner
later. The itinerary gives only the
names of the larger towns to be
visited. Stops will be mad at all
intervening towns, villages and
hamlet through which the exposi
tion boosters travel.
Plaaa to B. Explalaed.
According to the committee's
plans, the party will not be a speak
ing or entertaining; outfit. It is
planned rather as one that will
greet citisens of the state, assure
them that the fair will be held, and
give them all available information
on the subject. There will be ex
planation, for instance, of the
Initiative measure under which
Portland Is once more to get a
chance to make a special levy to
raise (3.000.000 to help finance the
fair. This time Portland plans such
m '"j wnnuui maaing ii at all con
tingent upon the raising of funds
by the state at large. All that Is
asked of the voters at large la that
they favor the initiative measure
under which Portland will be given
this opportunity.
Speakers te Be Faralaked.
If any of the towns to be visited
arrange special meetings, the cara
vanists will be glad to piay the part
of guests. At such meetings speakers
will be provided to give the message
of the party. Entertainment of the
caravan In this way is not asked.
Mayor Baker made plain, nor la It
generally expected. Such hospitali
ties may be extended entirf ly at the
discretion of the citixens and busi
ness men.
In commenting on the caravan
plans. Mayor Hnker s.id: "It is a
fact that Philadelphia Is still doubt
ful about holding Its 1328 exposition.
There is no longer any doubt about
our holding the 19;5 exposition In
Oregon. Sr-me people may think so.
but there is not. The time Is at hand
for the opening Kun for everyone
to be convinced that the exposition
is an assured fact.
Kiprar Fund Mosxht.
"Our finance roinimttee. under
chairmanship of ICmery OlmMead.ls
sr present engasd In obtaining
funds for preliminary expenses
This committee is meeting with a
wonderful response. There i- no
luetioi about the attitude of bu.i
mss men loth here and elsewhere
In the state on the fair question.
They want the fair, and It will be
held."
Early in September it is planned
to form a general information com
mittee, with members from all over
the mate, whose duty It will be to
point out advantages and benefits
accruing from such an exposition.
A follow-up campaign of Informa
tion will lie formulated. supple
menting the work of the caravan
In yis way it is proposed to carry
the message of the fair particularly
to parts of the elate which it is im
possible for the caravan to visit.

CO.VDOX. Or.. Aug. 1. (Special.)
W. H. Colwell of 23a North Tenth
street. Portland. Or., 66 years old,
died at the local hospital early this
morning- Death was the result of
being caught in the cylinder of a
horse-drawn combine on the ranch
of Frank Lewis at Mikkalo, about
10 miles from Condon. Mr. Colwell
had interests with Mr. Lewis and
was assisting him with harvest,
having charge of the separator, and
In going about his work slipped and
fell In the rapidly moving cylinder.
One leg was ground to a pulp, and
from where he lay he directed his
release, having the men hitch the
horses to the rear of the combine
and reverse the machine and in that
way free him. He showed a re
markab:e grit and courage In direct
ing his release. He was brought to
Condon and placed in a hospital,
where one leg was amputated in an
effort to save his life.
Mr. Colwell was well known in
eastern Oregon, having settled in
Lone Rock about 1876. and was a
pioneer stockman of that place.
Later he lived in Arlington and of
recent years in Portland. Besides
his widow he leaves a sister. Mrs.

LOS ANGELES. Cal., Aug. 1. The
lurv in the second trial of Mrs.
Madalynne Obenchain for the mur- j
der of J- Belton Kennedy reported
today to Judge John W. Shenk that
It was unable to agree upon a ver- .
diet and was discharged. i
The Jury on its final ballot showed I
a majority for acquittal. One Juror !
later said the vote was to 4. wntie
another gave it as 9 to 3.
Two members protested against
being discharged when Judge Shenk
called them into court at 6 o clock.
M. O. Paddock, foreman, said there
was not a chance ror agreement.. ..
James M. Rhoades. president of the
Ulendale chamber of commerce,
who led the defense forces in the
Jury room, and another Juror rose
to protest, but the Judge refused to
hear them.
July Oat 07 Hoar.
"I am convinced that no useful
purpose can be served by keeping
you in session any longer." he de
clared. He referred to the fact that
they had been out 7 hours and said
he believed that If a conscientious
verdict could not be reached in that
time it never would be. The jurora
were thanked and discharged from
further service. Seven . women and
five men comprised the Jury.
Rhoades and several other mem
bers of the Jury complained that in
court and out Chairman Paddock
had refused to permit a full discus
sion of the evidence. "We were sub
jected to tyrannical methods."- he as
serted to the judge.
When Paddock left the courtroom
he walked up to J. D. Kennedy,
father of the slain man. ind said:
"I am glad to meet you. Mr. Ken
nedy, and would like to have a talk
with you some time about this case."
"Suppose we go to the district
attorney's office and talk now." re
plied Kennedy. Paddock agreed, and
the men walked off together.
Rhoades. near by. was talking to
a group of ne wspapermen about his
side of the case.
Judge sets Case on Calendar.
Meanwhile Judge Shenk .had put
the case on his calendar for next
Friday morning for resetting. Rep
resentatives of the district attor
ney's office declined at this time to
state whether there would be an
other trial. ' I
Mrs. Obenchain refused to make
any comment upon the situation, but
her face, white and drawn, with
black rings under the eyes, indi
cated a great disappointment. She
had been chatting and laughing with
friends in the courtroom a few min
utes before the jury came In, and
several of these acquaintances said
she had hoped to the last for an
acquittal.
