12 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 22, 1903. JEALOUS MAN'S ACT Fatally Shoots Woman, Then Kills Himself. MURDERER IS A BLIND MAN HnahsmA Xa at Bedside of Dying VcBia, "Who Repenta of -the Faat ftnd Wan ta to live Xoiv for Her Children. WAIiliACB, Idaho, Feb. 21.-(SpecIal.)-Xncenscd by Jealousy, John P. lljcrkens, who 1b totally blind, mortally wounded Mrs. Hush Smith, of Blickbcar. by flrine two shots Into her breast, and then took his own life by blowing out his brains with a third bullet. The tragedy occurred B.t his room in a lodging-house of this city. The woman was In tho habit of visiting ttlm each week; she missed coming occa sionally, and the man grew angry- Ha received his blindness by a faulty blast In the Standard mine a year ago. He Is 33, while she Is 20. She has a husband and four children. The woman, with her husfcand at her bedside, lies at the point of death at Ma sjee's Hospital, and the last report from the physicians was that ehe was not ex pected to live, until morning. The woman, who says she had been In the habit of going to the man's room at least once a week, went to call on him today as uyuaL Ehe went to his room about 11 o'clock, and at the time the desperate deed was en acted she was about to leave to catch the up-canyon train to return to her family of four children. When Mrs. Smith arose to go BJerkens walked to the door, locked It. and, turn ing around, said: "Had you known what waa in my mind you would not have come to see me today." At that the blind man, who apparently was crazed over the woman, grappled with her, forcing her back to the bed, where be held her so firmly that ehe could no: release his grasp. During the ttruggle BJerkens groped blindly under the bed covering and at last brought tho weapon Irom Its hiding place. "When Mrs. Smith saw the revolver she cried: "Jack, don't do it: don't do It!" But it was too late. The next instant the fatal shot was tired. He pressed the trun close to her breast. The bullet en tered tho left breast near the heart, paw ing completely through the body and piercing the lung. He moved the point of the revolver slightly and the second ball entered the right breast, glancing and coming out behind the arm. making only a- skin wound. BJerkens then released his bleeding victim, threw his hand to his head, and a muffled report was followed by a heavy fall on the floor. BJerkln was dead at the feet of his mortally wounded victim. He shot himself in the right temple, the bullet passing through his bead. The above Is as related by the woman herself, and her story Is believed to be. a. straightforward one. In addition to this, the unfortunate woman, who is in great pain, between la borious breaths', raid: "He had threatened to do tuch a thing several times, but I was never afraid. I was in the habit of going tq his room once a week. I missed last week, and when I came down todayi he told me there must be some one else that I liked better than him. He expected too much. It seemed to be Jealousy that cauwd him to do It. "I do not know what my husband will think. I am going to get well. I have lota to live for if I get well, for I have xay husband and four little children. If I, get well I am glad that BJerkens Is where he la." BLOW PIIOVKS PATAU Jealons Sinn Prorokei a Quarrel at a Conn try Dance. SPOKANE. Wash., Feb. 2L (Special.) As the result of an altercation between uncle and 'nephew at Chewelah, John Brown is dead and Thomas L. Montgom ery is under arrest charged with the crime. The trouble occurred at a dance last night. Brown was Intoxicated and abusive toward Montgomery and other men whom Brown saw dancing with his wife. Brown threatened Montgomery, ac cording to the latter's story,, and finally made an assault upon him with his fists. Montgomery grabbed Brown by the col lar and struck him in the face with his list, knocking him to the sidewalk. Mont gomery returned to the hall, where the dance waa being held. Brown was car ried Into a drug store and died in a few minutes. A physician said the man neck had been broken by the fall. An In quest will be held Monday. Mr9.

SALEM, Or., Feb. 2L (SpeclaL)-The report of the Joint committee appointed to investigate the affairs of the State - .wtav-ucc ins innn agement of the business of the office. Not juucu mm is new or mat was not already Known waji dAvulnnA .,. v. t "7 ... investiga tion. The report states that State Land ABtni ij. u. ueer did not comply with " ociecung ueu tanas, ana Justi fies his failure in that respect on the Kround that there was no appropriation lor the work, and that he had never been required by the Governor to comply with the lawl Among others things, the report ears: "It is an admitted fact, found in the evidence of TV. H. OdelL that he sold base for lieu land, selections to private parties during the term of U B. Geer in office amounting to 50.000 or 60.000 acres at Irom 75 cents to JL.75 per acre; that he made such sales while occupying the of fice of L. B. Geer. State Land Agent. "There Is evidence submitted to the ef fect that, had available Umber lands been selected by the state, as required by law auch lands could now be sold for 1800 OM or more." The report also states that, while oc cupying a part of the office of the State Land Agent. Odell was acting as attor ney for the state in the selection of swamp lands, and during a. part of the time he was commissioned as attorney for the state in the adjudication of mineral base. While in that office he prepared a book of descriptions of lands lost to the state, which book he offered to produce, bat afterward declined to do so. PRESCRIBES FORM OF BALLOT. Sfetbod of Voting; If Refercndnm Is Demanded on Fair Bill. SALEMi Or., Feb. 2L (SpedaL)-Senator Hume's bill for a special election at which the Lewis and Clark Fair 'bill shall be submitted to the people in case the refer endum shall be orflerefl, prescribes the form of ballot to be used. It Is provided that if a majority shall vote in favor of the bill, It shall be declared approved, and If a majority ehall vote against It, it shall be declared rejected: "provided that If any ballot at such election shall be caat by any legal voter who shall have failed to Indicate thereby whether he has cast his, ballot for or against said act, it shall be conclusively presumed that such voter Intended to c2t tho same In favor of said act, and uch ballot shall be so counted and declared. This last proviso seems to be In con flict with the- terms of the new constitu tional amendment, which says: "Any mcarare referred to the people shall take effect and become the law when it Is approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon, and not otherwise." The effect of the provVo in the Hunt bill Is to declare that If a voter casts a blank ballot, or marks both "yea" and "no." or In any other way marks It eo that the meaning Is uncertain, he shall be counted as voting in the affirmative. Under the law as It prevailed before the initiative and referendum amendment went Into effect, every defective or blank ballot was counted against the measure submitted to the people. The amend ment was Intended to change the rule oo that ballots which could not be counted on one ride or the other should not be counted at all in computing the majority. In prescribing a rule for the counting of ballots, the Hunt bill goes to the other extreme and requires that a defective or blank ballot shall be counted In the af firmative. The wording of the bill seems to be Im material anyway, for thero is now no talk of demanding the referendum on the Lewla and Clark Fair bill. M3W OllEGOX COHPO RATIONS.

In every way as horrible aa this nave befallen the victims of epilepsy. Dr. F. E. Grant, a well-known specialist, haa discovered a certain cure for epilepsy, and hundreds have been permanently cured of this dreadful dis ease by It. Geo. H. Newell, of Burlington. Kan., says In regard to this remarkable rem edy: "I was a victim of epilepsy for over twelve years bad three or four Ota a week and my mind was giving way. I tried the best physicians, but had given up hope of being cured. I beran taking Dr. Grant's treatment, and feltbetter within a week. Continued tak ing the medicine until cured, ana have never had even a symptom of epilepsy since now over ten years ago. I can heartily recommend Dr. Grant's remedy, for I know of others betide myself whom he has permanently cured. It Is beyond my power to repay the debt or grati tude I owe elm and his medicine, as mine waa termed a hopeless ease. I can say to all who suffer as I did. do not lom courage, for I am aura that yon can be permanently cured." To prove to all epileptics that he can cure them.
