HANDING DATE SET
Execution of Pleasant Arm
strong January 22.
JUDGE EAKIN NAMES THE DAY
Further Proceedings to Save. Mur
derer of Minnie Ensmlnger Have
Not Yet Been Disclosed by
HIb Attorneys.
BAKER 3ITT.:pr.. Dec 12. (Special.)
Judge Eakln today fixed the -date of the
execution of Pleasant Armstrong, who
murdered Minnie Ensmlnger last, Christ
mas eve, for January 22, 1SQ4. in the Jail
yard of this county.
This case has been pending In the Cir
cuit Court here since November 27, when
the mandate of the Supreme Court affirm
ing the Judgment of the lower court on
appeal -was received. The Question in
volved Is one of grave importance.
Armstrong' was convicted under a law
which required all sentences tot murder
to be executed at the Aunty seat. Arm
strong was -first; sentenced to be hanged
In this city on. May 8, 1903. His case was
appealed to the Supreme Court and a stay
of execution granted. May 21, 1963, -a new
law went Into effect requiring nil cxecu-.
tlons for murder to take place at the"
State Penitentiary.
When the case was called today Arm
strong's attorneys moved the court to dis
charge the prisoner on the ground that ha
could not be executed under the old law
because it had been repealed, nor could he.
bo executed under the new one, because
It was passed after the crime was com
mitted and was therefore ex post facto
and under the Constitution of the United
States not applicable to his case, there
fore as there Is no law under which he
can be executed he is entitled to his dis
charge. Judge M. M. Goodman, of Colfax, Wash.,
of counsel for Pleasant Armstrong, made
a strong plea for his client this afternoon.'
He held that the original death warrant,
dated March 31, 1903, which fixed the date
of Armstrong's execution for May S, 1903,
was void, because the law says the death
warrant must fix the date of execution
for murder not less than 30 nor wore than
60 days from the date of the Judgment of
guilty. More than 60 days having elapsed,
the original warrant Is dead and void.
A new warrant fixing the place of exe
cution for this county cannot issue, be
cause there Is no law for such a proced
tced-
3, A
ure. The only thing the court could do,
counsel contended, was to follow the man
date of the present law and Issue a war
rant fixing the time and place of execu
tion at Salem, and If that warrant was at
tacked in the Federal Court and declared
void, the responsibility for the failure
would rest with the Legislature and not
with the court.
District Attorney White contended that
the original warrant Is, not dead; that It
is still in force, its execution having been
suspended by the appeal to the Supreme
Court The only thing for the court to do
was to fix the date for the execution.
Judge Eakin, In passing on the questions
raised, said that he had devoted consid
erable time to the matter and had exam
ined numerous authorities. The Judge did
not think It necessary that the court
should issue a new death warrant, or re
sentence the defendant All . that was
necessary was to fix the day of, execution,
which he tlld by entering an order recit
ing the fact of 'Armstrong's trial, convic
tion and sentence to be hung "May 8; the
stay of execution on appeal; the hearing
in the Supreme Court and the writ of
mandate from that court affirming the
Judgment of the lower court and ending
by fixing the date of execution for Jan
uary, 1904, in the Jail yard of the county
Jail In this county.
No reference was made to a resentence
or the Issue of a new warrant of deafti.
The old warrant remains as originally Is
sued. The effort of Armstrong's attorneys
was to secure a resentence; and the issu
ance of a new death warrant, and imme
diately habeas corpus proceedings would
have been instituted In the Federal Court
to procure Armstrong's release on the
ground that he was about to bo executed
under an ex post facto law.
It Is not knpwp Just what course will
be pursued now. Probably an appeal from
the order fixing the date of execution, will
be taken to the Supreme Court of the
state. In any event Armstrong will not
be executed January 22, or at least It Is
not likely.
It Is claimed that an appeal from Judge
Eakln's order will not He, and that an
appeal to the .Federal Court Is not possi
ble, because the Federal-question-is not
involved In the present orde.r of the Circuit
Court
Very few people knew the -case was com
ing up this afternoon, the purpose being
to avoid the presence of a large crowd.
Armstrong seemed depressed and took
-very little Interest apparently In the pro
ceedings. ,
MARINE LIFE EXPERIMENTS,
Dr. Loeb Says Results Will Be Useful
In. Study of Nervous Diseases.
BERKELEY, Cal.. Dec 12. Professor
Jacques Loeb, of the physiological depart
ment of the University of California, has
Just completed a series of experiments to
ascertain the relative . toxicity to marine
animals of distilled water, sugar solutions
and solutions of the various constituents
of sea water, that havo produced remark
able results.
The experiments have led the physiolo
gist to no less a conclusion than that sea
water is a physiologically balanced salt
solution for the animals contained in It
and that the serum of an animal Is a -similar
solution in relation to the tissues of
an animal.
"It la a solution." says Dr. Loeb, "in
which there Is a mutual prevention of the
poisonous actions which the Individual
constituents have if they are alone in so
lutions. If the changes of the concentra
tion of the Individual constituents of such
a physiologically balanced solution take
place within certain narrow limits one can
call forth in the tissues properties -which
they do not normally possess, such as the
artificial parthenogenesis, rythmical
twitchings and the Increase In the Irri
tability of the muscles and nerves. I am
of opinion that this point of view will
prove fruitful In pathology, especially in
the study of nervous diseases."

Strange Basque People.
The Reader.
The Senor had never seen an ox-trial.
On a plateau In the rocky uplands a
couple of thousand Basques were gath
ered . . .. Hardy folk, tanned and sun-
proof. In the center of the plateau was a
huge rock, weighing- about 6000 pounds. It
was settled well In place. Hitched to it
by long chains, were two yokes of oxen,
the lean, small, but sturdy hill cattle,
black or gray. A wild ox-driver goaded
them Into a fearful attempt to budge the
huge rock. Again and again he drove the
goad into flank or shoulder or neck, till
the gashed bulls rained blood as they
strained in the yoke. He was wild with
excitement mad with eagerness, the man;
he screamed and sent the iron into the
quivering brutes. Quite as mad, wholly as
wild, were the men and women who
cheered him on. In half an hour of this
torture the animals did not move the
stone an inch; finally one of them went
down on his knees, then fell; the on
lookers hooted savage disapproval. Other
oxen were brought up; again the blood 1
spurted and splashed; the rock moved a ;
little. The betting was keen, . . . sil
ver pieces of ten cents, of 20 cents, even
fabulous paper money worth $4, were
wagered on the event "Three to one they
don't go six Inches!" "Five pesetas:"
Oh, 'twas a merry game and bloody.

MISREPRESENTING A -SENATOR
Far Be It From Alabama's Venerable
Statesman to Condemn Good Gravy.
Washington Post
Wo do not think, that Senator Pettus
has been fully understood In the matter
of his alleged condemnation of gravy.
It seems to be accepted everywhere as
a fact that the venerable Alabama states
man has proclaimed a sweeping, whole
sale anathema against gravy of all kinds
and conditions, consigned it to the index
expurgatorlous; banished It forever from
the menu .of civilized mankind. Ho Is
placed in the position of striking a death,
blow at one of the most precious of
American institutions. No wonder an
enlightened and patriotic pTess has been
stirred to remonstrate in all its varying
forms. - "
As we say, however, It does not seem
fair to Senator Pettus to take all this
for granted. No doubt he- has Issued a
maledlctlon against certain kinds of
gravy that particular kind, for Instance,
which Is made of lard and flour, ana
which brings discontent, if not Hat an
guish, to the very stoutest midriff
but nobody can make us believe that he
has said an unkind word against good
gravy. There are gravies and gravies,
laudable, nourishing, vicious and un
wholesome, and certainly Mr. Pettus, one
of the finest products of the land of
gravy, must be the very prince of dlf-'
ferentiation in the matter of their qual
ity. Here he is, at the advanced age of
S3, hale, hearty, robust with all his
faculties unlmpared, a roaring old lion
of Democracy, and doe? one tell us that
ho derides and execrates the food upon,
which every true Alabarnlan has attained
to greatness?
Senator Pettus was raised on pot liquor,
the grandfather, the vital principle of all
gravies. That Invigorating fluid. Joined
to good yellow corn bread, fresh, from
the skillet constituted toe foundation -of
a vigorous a; stem three-quarters of a
century ago. Up in Limestone County,
where the Senator was born, and amid
whose sun-kissed hills and rich, balsamic
breezes he grew to giant size, pot liquor
and corn bread, hog and hominy, with
'possum and persimmons in season,
formed the regimen of every Alabarnlan
who expected to get on in life. There
were yellow -legged chickens on Sunday or
when the, preacher stopped for dinner,
and you could hear the little darkles
catching those chickens under the house,
too; but the regular, every-day bill of
fare was as we have said, and a mighty
fine, uplifting, strengthening bill it was.
No, no; Senator Pettus has been mis
represented. Ho denounces only bad
gravy- Good gravy (which Includes pot
liquor). Is still dear to his honest, grate
ful heart
NEW IDEAS IN MEN'S DRESS.
Fancy,
Jeweled Shlrtstuds Are Con
sidered Smart Now.
New York Herald.
It is not longer correct to say It is not
proper to wear anything but mother of
pearl or. plain gold studs In linen and
evening shirts. Enamels are being much
used for these adjuncts of evening dress,
and when lightly treated are certainly
beautiful. Waistcoat buttons, links and
studs of pale rose enamel on gold with a
raised design in the center In brilliants
are now made.
Another design Is a set of studs made
of white enamel In hexigon form outlined
with diamonds, and the effect in a shirt
front is extremely good, giving the ap
pearance of diamonds only and causing
people to wonder how they are fitted to
the shirt
Single studs ore not nearly so much
worn as formerly, and two studs are more
fashionable than three, though It is purely
a matter of taste. The latest design for
stud links is bright crimson enamel .with
a Louis XVI. lattice work of diamonds In
platinum over enamel.
A white waistcoat button -Is nearly al
ways fancied nowadays, though some men
still prefen plain mother of pearl. Lately
the tendency has come In to have these
pearl buttons outlined with platinum or
plain god and studded either with dia
monds or a colored jewel. They occasion
ally are made of 'onyx with a diamond in
the center, and these look well even with
a black dress waistcoat, but the smartest
men of the day are not infrequently seen
with waistcoat buttons matching their
stud links.
In the matter of .evening dress ties of
one particular pattern are all the Tage just
now. It Is a modification of the old bat
wing shape, the knot being small, but the
ends not so broad as they were in the
lint wlnir varletv.

BOY WITH REVOLVER WATCHES
BURGLAR AT WORK.
"Buck Fever" Holds' Him While Thief
Deliberately Breaks Open Strong
Box and Walks Away.
ROY, Wash., Dec 32. (Special.) The
store of Nelson Murray was entered at 3
o'clock this mornlnff by a burglar who
carried away jewelry, cigars, revolvers
and cutlery, worth $250. The burglar
found the safe unlocked and took from it
a small strongbox, wlilch he carried
across the street and opened with a
hatchet The box .contained nothing of
value. j
While the burglar was at work in the
store a night telegraph operator named
Hammond saw'the light from the cracks
man's dark lantern flittering about and
at once ran to the house of COnstablt
McDannell and aroused him. The Con
stable Teturned with Hammond and being
afraid that there might be several burg
lars In the store left the lS-year-old opera
tor on watch with a big revolver In hl3
hand and went for more help.
While the young man was watching the
store the burglar came out with his bag
of plunder on his back and slowly crossed
the street to the rear of the depot where
he broke open the strongbox. The boy
watched him all the time, but had the
"buck fever" and was unable to shoot
"To tell tho truth," says the young man
today. "I -was too scared to lift up tho
revolver."
The burglar got clear away.
MURDERED BY MASKED MEN.
Inexplicable Shooting of a Japanese
at Edmonds.
EDMONDS, Wash., Dec 12. A masKed
man entered a section-house near the sta
tion here at B o'clock last night, and.
without warning, shot and instantly killed
one of four Japanese section hands oc
cupying the building. One of the Japan
ese Jumped through a window in the ex
citement, and sustained severe injuries
from his fall to the ground. The others
remained quiet and were unmolested.
The assailant evidently taking fright,
turned and fled. He was last seen hurry
ing down the tracks toward Seattle. He
is described as a white man of medium
size with a slight mustache and dark com
plexion. Sheriff .Brewer, Deputy Beard
and a Deputy Coroner-went to Edmonds
and arrived In Everett at noon with the
body of the murdered Japanese The at
tack seems to have been entirely unpro
voked. The theory of robbery has been
advanced, but some believe that the .'as
sailant held a grudge against the dead
Japanese.

EDITORS OF THE "SUPAO."
Evidently the Life of "We" In China
Is Not One Grand Sweet Song.
Indianapolis Journal.
In German' the position of a newspaper
editor Is a precarious one. He must be
very careful not to criticise the Emperor,
or otherwise to Incur the wrath of the
press censor, or he will bo thrown Into
Jail and his paper will be suspended. But
In China It is even worse. The offending
editor who expresses opinions contrary
to those of the administration Is liable to'
the extreme penalty death In no merciful
guise. Several months ago a preacher of
reform In Pekln was beaten to death with
bamboo rods. Later the editors of the
publication called Supao were charged
with sedition. Their sedition consisted in
advocating moremodern methods in the
administration of tho government This
brought; down upon them the anger of the
Dowager Empress, who ordered their In
stant apprehension. It appears, however,
that the editors had realized the enormity
of their offense, for they sought refuge in
the foreign reservation, -where they came
under the protection of the Consulates.
The Question whether the daring news
paper men should be surrendered to the
native authorities was referred to the le
gations. It was certain that if this should
be done cruel and barberous punishments
would follow. The British Consul stoutly
opposed giving tho fugitives up, but for
some reason or other, United States Min
ister Conger sided with the Russian -rep-representatlve,
who wished to accede to
the Chinese demand. An agreement was
Anally reached to detain the newspaper
men for trial by a mixed tribunal.
The trial has not yet taken place. On
nothing more than an accusation the men
h,ave been keptln prison, all bail having
been refused. And now the government
announces that a special deputy will be
appointed to hear the case and that this
deputy will be Instructed not to be lenient
should the defendants be found guilty.
Evidently the penalty has already been
decided upon, and the trial will be a
mere form. All of which goes to show
that the life of the Chinese editor Is not
one grand sweet song, and that he who
Incurs the wrath of the Chinese law Is
the most -unenviable of culprits'.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE IN CITIES
In New York and London Statistics
Show l to Be Surprisingly Light.
New York Sun.
Tho census pf the church attendance in
the district of Manhattan Island to tho
north of Central Park and to tho west
down to Eighty-first street taken 6n Sun
day, November 15, may be regarded as
approximately accurate, for the return of
church-goers proportionately to the popu
lation of ihe region Is about the same as
that shown by a similar census for the
whole borough taken a year ago. That Is,
less than a quarter of the population are
to be found in the churches on Sunday.
In London the percentage of church at
tendance as enumerated by the Daily News
of that town was about the same. In
Boston, where a similar census Is about
to be taken, the results are not likely to
be far different
In this uptown district of Manhattan
It was found that women were In a great
majority among tho attendants. That too,
is the general experience. In the Roman
Catholic churches they were two-thirds
of tho whole; In the Protestant 56.6 per
cent Women and children, together,
mado up 73.4 per cent of tho Roman
Catholic attendance and 67 per cent of
the Protestant The whole number of men
In the churches on that fine November
Sunday was only 29.2S3, both Protestant
and Catholic, out of a total population
of the district estimated at 438,065. In
the Catholic churches the percentage of
men was about 26.5, In the Protestant
about 32.9.
At all times the pillar of the church has
been the religious faith of women, but
probably never before to as great an
extent as it Is now.. In this district of
Manhattan males and females in the pop
ulation were not far apart In number In
1300, or 203,540 males to 218,405 females, yet
two-thirds of the church attendance was
made up of women.
Of the male population, 70.220 were for
eign born, and of the females, 73,842. Of
course, the census could give us no sta
tistics as to the nationality of the at
tendants, so that we are unable to do
more than guess as to tho percentages
of the native and the foreign born; but
the fact that of the total attendance, 62
per cent or 62.211 out of a total of 100.961,
were at tho Roman Catholic churches,
would Indicate that the percentage of the
foreign Is much the greater.
The largest attendance at the churches
not Roman Catholic was at the Episco
pal, 56S7, with the Methodist next, 6S01;
and then the Presbyterian, 6279; the Bap
tist 2596. and the Lutheran, 3256. It Is
suggestive that In the two Christian Sci
ence churches of the region was the.
largest attendance among the other de
nominations, that Jt was more than a
quarter of the. aggregate attendance In
the 17 Episcopal churches, and was only
a third less than the aggregate In the
12 Baptist churches, though the actual
Christian Science membership Is only
about one-seventh that of the Episcopal
and one-third that of the Baptist The
Inference would seem to be that there Is
at least much curiosity as to Christian
Science.
The statistics, as a whole, are a re
peated demonstration of -the fact that in
Now York, as in London, more than three
fourths of tho population are neglectful
of public religious worship.

A Minnesota Substitute for the Old
Fashioned Hand Method.
Chicago Record-Herald.
News from the Minnesota State Training-
School at Red Wing to the effect that
a "spanking machine" has been adopted
In that Institution to take the place of the
old-fashioned hand method naturally ex
cites public curlqslty as to the nature of
the mechanism and the results attending
its use.
Is it a revolving paddle, an oscillating
ping-pong racket, or a contrivance that
presents a closer imitation of the human
hand? Is It applied to the child's hand or
to a less exposed part of the'anatomy? In
the absence of mechanical details we can
only guess as to the plan of the contriv
ance, and curiosity turns upon the ques
tion of results. "Wo aro Informed that
"the humiliation of being put under the
machine has more effect on the children
than the punishment, and It Is believed
that this Improvement will help much In
the discipline of the Institution."
All of which taxes ordinary credulity.
That such a displacement of hand labor
by machinery should tako place In an
educational Institution makes one rub
his eye3 and wonder if one forgot to
wake up In time for the 20th century.
The same objections to the machines
that are sometimes used to "exercise"
men ond to shake up sluggish livers might
be urged against the spanking machine. It
lacks the Joy of actual personal partici
pation. It Is too mechanical. The recepl
ent cannot enter into the spirit of It.
There la lacking that depth of feeling that
A REED SHAKEN
WITH THE WIND
Without Will Power, Courage, Ambl
tlon, Energy or Hope, the Dys
peptic Is Willing to Give
Up the Struggle.
The confirmed dyspeptic has as little In
terest In life as any human being. Ho Is
unfitted for its duties and Is indifferent
to its charms. He Is unable to enjoy the
business and social relations that consti
tute the life of the average man. All his
hopes are absorbed by the one hope to get
well and again be able to enjoy the good
things of life. Until this is realized, he
is sick at heart and feels himself to be of
little use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the suf
ferer's tree of life. They will cure him
and bring him health and happiness Just
as sure and certain as he takes them.
They are sure because they are natural
and no other cure but a natural one Is
sure. They act on the food and digest It
Just as well as a stomach would. They
contain exactly the same chemical prop
erties as the digestive fluids of the stom
ach. By putting Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
In a bottle or Jar with any kind of food;
meat, eggs or vegetables, with sufficient
amount of water, the process of diges
tion Is carried out Just as It Is In a healthy
human stomach and In the same time.
There Is consequently no unnatural dis
turbance of the digestive organs resulting
from the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. They relievo the weak and worn
out stomach of Its work and permit It to
rest up and recuperate and regain its
normal health and strength.
A well-known Buffalo physician says: "I
prescribe Stuart's Dyspesla Tablets on all
occasions aB a relief for weakened and
rundown stomachs. I find, they contain
all the Ingredients necessary for the
proper digestion of the food and will do
more to give the stomach the needed rest
than any medicine I coulcf prescribe. They
have never failed to give immediate relief
in all my cases and I do not hesitate to
recommend them to all sufferers from
dyspepsia."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at 50 cents a box.

comes from the knowledge that a human
being with whom you sustain a certain
personal relation is punishing you. The
wlelder of the paddle, moreover, has a
certain Joy In the work. He finishes the
Job under the mental elation that cornea
from the consciousness of a duty well
done and not shirked.
The spanking machine will not do. It
Is not psychological. Unless the boys of
Minnesota are totally unlike all other boys
they will welcome the experience of being
spanked by-an lngenlus machine that has
no feeling and that raps the lean boys Just
as hard as the fat ones.
Saloons Make Losing Fight.
Vancouver Independent,
The recent effort of the liquor dealers
to gain control of the city government of
Vancouver, was but the first step of an
effort to gain control of the legislative
branch of tho state government, The
saloons, the state over, expect to take a
part In selecting the men who will com
pose tho next,Leg!slature. It Is their pur
pose to effect a repeal of the gambling
law. It isneedles3 to say that their efforts
In Clark County at least will bo fruitless.
If they cannot win out in Vancouver
where thero are 21 saloons, what show
will they have In country districts, where
there is not the llluslvo cry of revenue to
make them votes.

"A COMMON COLD"
"The history, literature and therapeutics
of the condition known as a 'Cold' shows
conclusively that very little has been
known In regard to this sate.
"Who has not witnessed the many fail
ures of a 'good sweating,' a dose of cas
tor oil,' etc? The fact is, we have been
overlooking the true origin of the diseased
state Known as a 'Cold.' It Is primarily a
disease of the stomach, a derangement of
the processes of gastric digestion." Med
ical Times.
The use of 13r. Humphreys' "Seventy
seven" breaks up the Cold, and It alternat
ed with or followed by the use of Specific
No. 10, the stomach will perform Its func
tions, and the gastric dorangement caused
by taking cold will be corrected.
In small bottles of pellets that fit the
vest pocket. At druggists, 25 cents each.
