BANDITRIFLEACLEW
Officers Hope by It to Trace
Oregon Express Robbers.
KNOWN BY THEIR PROFANITY
Same Gang Held Up a Saloon at Ken
net, 20 Miles From Redding, on
March 20, and Stood 15
Men in Line.
REDDING, Cal., April 2 The trip of
the officers north on the railroad this
afternoon resulted In clearing the skies of
Home suspects and proving to the satis
faction of the detectives that the bandits
who held up the Oregon Express at Cop
ley Thursday night and killed Messenger
O'Neill were the same men who held up
15 men in Dave Endlcott's saloon at Ken
net, 20 miles north of here, March 20.
The officers say a dozen different Inform
ants had told circumstances that seemed
to point strongly to three men living near
Kennet as the trainrobbcrs, but an In
v estigation today showed conclusively that
the suspects could not have been the rob
bers. Detective Ahcrn said this evening
that he Is confident that the crimes were
committed by the same gang. There are
a number of reasons, he said, for arriv
ing at that conclusion. Chief among them
is the abundance of profanity that the
men used in both hold-ups.
Nothing has yet been learned, according
to Mr. Ahem, as to where the bandits
secured the giant-powder with which they
blew up the express car. If that could
only be learned the Identity of the fugi
tives might easily be established. A point
not heretofore made public Is that the
ofllecrs have one of the guns of the ban
dits. It Is a rifle. The manner In which
It was secured brings out a new Incident
of the train hold-up.
Tt seems that when the gun of Frank
Rockwell, the guard, faiied to explode a
cartridge and he was compelled to surren
der, the bandits stood Rockwell against
the wall of the express car while they
made preparations to dynamite the safe.
One of the robbers leaned his rifle against
the wall near Rockwell. The guard cau
tiously moved his foot along until It came
In contact with the butt of the weapon
causing It to fall to the floor.
After the fuse was lighted and all were
filing out of the car. the robber who had
laid down his gun picked up Rockwell's,
which was still leaning against the wall,
by mistake. The bandit's gun survived the
explosion and Is In the hands of the offi
cers. It Is said to be an ordinary rifle,
but its possession may lead to the Iden
tity of the owner.
DROWNED IN CEMETERY LAKE
Young San Francisco Girl Supposed
to Have Committed Suicide.
SAN TRANCISCO, Cal.. April 2. The
body of a voung woman, identified us that
of Kate Bessler, aged 19, was found In a
Finall lake in Cypress Lawn Cemetery,
San Mateo County- The girl disappeared
from her home In this city March 22.
Kate TJessler lived at the home of S.
Jesson, manager of the estate of the late
John Thompson. She called him grand
father, and he had charge of her Inter
ests Each of his sons she called uncle.
On the day of her disappearance she left
a note addressed to her "grandfather."
It read.
"Dear Grandfather: Katie's last wish is
that ou write for her sister to come
and get all of her things. Please do this,
dear Grandpa."
The girl was last seen In the city at
the Public Library, where she had gone
to return a book after leaving the fare
well note for "Grandfather" Jesson.
Two theories were immediately advanced
to account for her disappearance one
that she had become deranged from over
study and committed suicide, the other
that she had encountered the same fate
m that overtook little Nora Fuller, the
" mystery of whose murder on Sutter street
has never been cleared up. Color was
given to this theory by the statement
that Miss Bossier had an elderly ad
mirer, residing In Ogden, Utah, from
whom she had received presents.
The body of the girl was found floating
in the lake by Assistant Superintendent
of the Cemetery W. E. Carre, and among
the first to view the remains was 15-year-old
Olive Davidson, whose home Is Just
back of the cemetery, and who says she
walked to the cemetery gate with the
girl who was. drowned during the after
noon of the date that Katie Bessler dis
appeared. She said:
"It was raining that Tuesday after
noon, and a strange girl I met near the
cemetery had an umbrella, which she of
fered to share with me. She seemed very
nervous and evaded every question I asked
her. We Darted at the cemetery gate.
She went in the gate and I walked to
my home. Before we parted she offered
me her umbrella, but I refused to take it
from her, and that is- the last I snw of
the girl."
Miss Davidson readily identified the um
brella found on the lake bank as the
one the strange girl had shared with her
on that rainy afternoon.
S Jesson, whom the girl called grand
father, positively Identified the body this
afternoon, and on his testimony the
Coroner's jurj rendered a verdict of death
by drowning with suicidal intent.
MUST USE STATE TEXT-BOOKS
Attorney-General Crawford Gives Of
ficial Opinion.
SALEM, Or.. April 2 (Special.) The
text-books other than those adopted by
the State Text-Book Commission cannot
be used in the public schools, was held
by the Attorney-General in an opinion
rendered today. Mr. Crawford also holds
that supplemental books other than those
adopted cannot be used.
While the opinion applies directly to
toxt-books on the subject of drawing, it
lays down the Attornev -General's "view
of the law generally. Superintendent of
Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman had
asked the Attorney-General whether the
use of Augsbergs drawing-book in the
hands of the teachers only, pupils using
paper, would be a violation of the text
book law, and whether there would be any
possible objection to the use of supple
mentary drawing from other sources than
those now in use. In his reply Mr. Craw
ford says that neither can be permitted,
and thus states his reasons:
"Text-books for our schools have been
selected by a committee selected and ap
pointed because of their supposed special
knowledge of the kind of text-books best
adapted to the needs of the schools of the
state; and to allow teachers who seem
to think the commission has made a mis
take in some book to substitute some
other book or sjstem would nullify the
work of the commission and destroy the
uniformity in the text-books intended by
the law. Also to allow teachers to sup
plement the work by teaching some other
sjstem in addition to the system estab
lished by the commission, would have
the same effect. It would to some extent
confuse the minds of the pupils, and if
teachers were given that much latitude
they could, If they wished, teach very
little from the books selected by the
commission, and put In most of the time
on books of their own selection.
"The text-books having been chosen by
the commission chosen from the "best edu-
cators of the state, it is fair to presume
their judgment is as good as the judg
ment of any one individual. However,
that Is not the real Question. The text
books are selected as the law directs and
in pursuance thereof, and no other book
cap be substituted except in the manner
provided by the statute, therefore both of
your questions must, in my Judgment, be
answered in the affirmative. To allow
the requests -would permit teachers to
violate the law, which would be objectionable."
TO WORK FOR LOWER RATES
Eugene Merchants Will Use Peace
able Methods First.
EUGENE, Or., April 2. (Special.) An
interesting and Important meeting of busi
ness men was held last night at the
rooms of the Eugene Commercial Club,
which was well attended. The object of
the meeting was to discuss and decide
upon some action by which a readjust
ment of freight rates might be secured.
The meeting was addressed by a num
ber of prominent men, all of whom had
some argument showing conclusively the
handicap under which the business Inter
ests of this valley are laboring. "While
there was no denunciation of the Southern
Pacific Company, there was much argu
ment showing exorbitant charges on
freights, and the retarding of the develop
ment of Industries throughout the state.
Among other specific Items brought up
was the rate on lumber, -which has been
raised from $110 per ton from Portland
and Valley points to San Francisco, the
railroad claiming it could not do business
at the old rate without loss but they
carry other commodities from San Fran
cisco to Portland for less than $3.10 per
ton and want the business at that rate.
Also charges from Seattle to Portland,
3S3 miles, are much less than from Port
land to Eugene. 123 miles.
The sentiment of all business men pres
ent was to attempt by peaceable methods
to secure better rates in the interest of
the development of the industries of the
country Then, if nothing could be done
with the railroad company in that man
ner, to proceed upon other lines and re
sort to measures by way of legislation
and otherwise to enforce reductions which
will be consistent and reasonable.
A committee on transportation consist
ing of R. A- Booth, F. E. Dunn and H.
Gordon was appointed, and to them the
matter was referred, with power to act.
Another meeting of the club will be called
when the committee has any progress to
report.

"Warhorse Bill" Roasts Effort to
Vote King Solidly for Senator.
SEATTLE. ."Wash., April 2. (SpeciaL)
In a speech at the Grand Opera-House
tonight, during the meting held by
Governor McBride, "Warhorse Bill"
White, ex-Justice of the Supreme Court,
and until 1901 a prominent Democrat,
denounced the proposal to take a King
County delegation to the state conven
tion to be used in the Interest of a
Senatorial candidate. Judge White de
clared the men were to be traded off
like cattle, a proceeding he denounced
as un-American and not good Republi
canism. Governor McBride spoke at the meet
ing, making a speech similar to that
he has been making Jn Eastern Wash
ington. Between 700 and 800 persons
greeted him, giving him a demonstra
tive reception. McBride referred indi
rectly to the. story of his alliance with
George Stevenson, declaring that he
had not retreated one-hundredth of an
inch from his position in favor of a
Railroad Commission and would not do
so If offered the support of King or any
other county In the next state conven
tion. This was as near as he came to re
ferring to the story. During the day
he refused a statement declalng he
would make his position known at to
night's meeting.
Heifner Is Turned Down.
SEATTLE, Wash , April 2. (Special.)
The King County Democratic Com
mittee today turned down Charles G.
Heifner, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, who was anxious to
be re-elected as the King County mem
ber of the committee. Six of the 11
members of the committee were pledged
to vote against him, and Helfner's
friends withdrew his name before bal
loting. Holfner is now living in Salt Lake,
and the fight was made on him on the
ground that he had been dictatorial and
was not entitled to re-election on that
ground as well as lack of residence.
Two years ago Heifner himself had the
county committee adopt a resolution
forbidding the recognition of proxies.
At that time he was trying to unseat a
First Ward committeeman. His proxy
was sent in today to be voted for him
self and the committee applied Helf
ner's own rule to throw It out.

cusation and defies thase who make it,
appears from the following expressions
In a speech lately made at Piedmont: "If
one cannot be a Democrat in Missouri
and insist that the cure of corruption Is
an Issue, then I am no Democrat.
If to be a Democrat in St- Louis means
I have no pains, and feel much stronger
generally."
The above is a fair portrait of Miss
Mitchell, in the looking-glass, although
it by no means does her justice, as she
is much handsomer than a mere picture
like this can portray. The fact is a
woman can't look beautiful that is drag
ged down with pains at regular inter
vals, who suffers from headaches, back
aches, or spine-aches, frequently. Such
a woman soon acquires wrinkles, a sal
low complexion, dark circles about the
eyes, and a general feeling of weakness,
which brings misery of mind and body.
To keep one's good looks the body must
be healthy the feminine functions must
be regular. Woman was not intended
to suffer, and there is no reason why she
should. A healthy body will usually be
a shapely body, and no means at hand
will more quickly restore the womanly
functions to a healthy state than Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.
Although many people marry without
reasoning about it, and do not know the
word romance, they feel it and act it all
their lives and are content There are
unhappy married lives, but a large per
centage of these unhappy homes are due
to the illness of the wife, mother or
daughter. The more civilized or cul
tured a race becomes, doing with less
and less physical exercise in the out
door air, and with the wearing of
corsets and other modish customs, the
more likely are the women to suffer from
womanly ills. Every woman should
know what right living s for perfect
health and a fair complexion she shoujd
occasionally take a vegetable laxative
such as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now
feel fully warranted in offering to pay
500 in legal money of the United States
for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak
ness, Prolapsus, or Falling of womb, which
they cannot euro. All they ask is a fair
and reasonable trial of their meansof cure.
Could any test be more fair showing the
faith of the makers? Do not listen to
the atguments of the dealer that his own
make is better. It means better profit
to him, that's all. He insults your in
telligence when he tries to make you
change your mind, to take a substitute
for the standard remedy which has en
joyed years of success and the testimony
of thousands in its favor.
Dr. Pierce by no means confines him
self to prescribing his well-known medi
cines. He tells you in the most common-sense
way what ails you, what you
ought to do, what line of treatment
should be followed out in your particu'ar
case, and if your case does not indicae
the need of his proprietary medicine, he
tells you plainly and frankly what y u
do need, and the best possible method of
improving your health. If you are a
young woman just entering upon the
duties of life, you should have good med
ical advice of a confidential nature. If
you're a mother of children, jou may

children may "be healthy. To sufferers
from chronic diseases which do not
readily yield to treatment, or to people
who are" past the youthful stage of life
and want confidential advice about their

Pierce offers to carefully consider vour
