Adulterated powders may usually be detected by their heavier
bulk, as shown by the 6mall cans, and these scantily filled, often
containing a circular to help fill out the cans. It is a singular fact
that many of the ammonia and alum baking powders are advertised
as "Absolutely Pure," All official examinations prove that it would
be safe to reject all powders labeled absolutely pure.
The economy in using Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder does
not consist alone in the fact that much larger and fuller cans are
given, but Dr. Price's is a stronger, purer and more wholesome bak
ing powder than any other known. Does better work, and goes
farther, hence more economical in every way.
.What woman would use axi ammonia or alum baking powder if
she knew it ? Such powders not only undermine the health, but
ammonia gives to the complexion a sallow acd blotched appearance.

authorities as free, from ammonia, ; alum, lime, or any othei

In the Matter of Hops'. Thomas
Oaburne, of Liudon, has been looking up
bop matters in Oregon, California and Wash
ington the past few weeks. Mr.. Osburne
thinks Willamettee valley hop raiaars have
su important advantage over the growers
both of Washington and California. In the
last mentioned state ' the extremely hot
weather prevents the lice from doing .much
damage however. But the land there is
high-priced and in the Puyallup valley it is
beyond the reach of stnill hop grower. ' The
soil and climate of the Willamette valley
is well suited to the production of hops.
The area is so large that the price of land
is kept within reasonable limits. Mr.
Osburue is of the opinion that most of the
Willamette valley hop growers do not culti
vate their fields with propar caret The lack
of proper care becanves evident when it
comes to marketing the crop. The hops of
Lane county are among the besr received in
London, and it is worth while m iking the
effjrt to get them. Eugene HjgUter.
Livery Business Sold. Skipton Bros,

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is carried as
the most important item in the materia
medicia of the traveling public. It deprives
vitiated, brackish water ot its hurtful prop

pernicious effects upon the stomach of bad
or indigestible food, remedies cramps, heart
burn and wind upon the stomach. It is a
tine defence against malarial disorders, nul
lifies the th effects of excessive heat, cold
and damp, relieves sick headaches, and is an
incomparable cure for costiveness and bili
ousness. The fatigue of travel often tells
most disastrously upon invalids and conva
lescents, occasionlly to such an extent as to
jeopardize life. Persons in .feeble health,
apprehensive of bad effects from travel, will,
if provided with the Bitters, be far less
likely to have their fears realized.

WILSON, THE MURDERER.
HE CONFESSES THE CRIME.
While the Officers are Trying to Protect
Him from the Mob, He Escapes.
Iu the annals of crime on the Pacific
coast, none can surpass in brutality and re
volting details the murder on June 22d, near
Milwaukie, Clackamas county, of little
Mamie Walsh by Charles Wilson. The
deed was committed iu the country where
the girl had beea picking berries and her
body was mutilated and hidden in the
underbrush. Tho citizens of that neigh
borhood and the officers of the law made
every effort to ferret out the mystery and
discover the murderer. Several persons
were arrested on suspicion, bnt all succeeded
in establishing their innocence with the ex
eeptiou of V ilson, a young . man who was
employed in that vicinity. The detectives
had been working on the case and' were
drawing the chain of evidence closer and
closer about him until last Friday, when'
sufficient pressure was brought to bear on
him to break down his former evidence and
induce him to confess his guilt ami give a
description of the manner iu which he com
mitted the deed. Following is his-story as
he told it to a reporter:'
"I was working that Wednesday after
noon, digging post-holes a short distance
from my brother's house. I saw Mamie
picking berries, and when she approached
within a short distance of me, an uncon
trollable desire to kill her overcame me. I
thought how easily I could kill hep. Like
a hound after a rabbit, I sprang toward
her. It took iiu- just three bounds.
I grasped her by tho throat before she knew
my intentions. She was a pretty little
thing and so innocent. She struggled hard
but could make no outcry, for I ha I a firm'
hold on her throat. The blood oozed from
hei mouth, but that did not affect me. But
how the little thing did fight. I was the
stronger, however, and she soon became in
sensible. I held on for awhile until I thought
she was dead. I then dragged her into the
brushes, and went off to see if there was
anyone around who could have noticed what
I had done. Satisfied that I had not been
seen, I returne.I and after looking at the
body I mutilated her somewhat,
and after examining her to my satisfaction,
began to consider what disposition I should
make of the remains. While thinking I
noticed the body move. I placed my hand
over her heart, and found it still beating.
I than covered her mouth mid nose with my
hand until I knew life was extinct. Then I
shouldered the body, and carried it west
toward the lane. I laid it down in the
brush, and went to look up and down the
road. Seeing no one, I carried my burden
to the fence, and in attempting to- lift it
over it fell to the ground the head striking
first, cutting a gash and mining a sound
that caused me to child. er. This was the
first and only time that repentance has come
to me. Carrying the body across the lane,
I dragged it underneath the barbed-wire
fence. Then I took off my shoes, and pick--iog
up Mamie resumed my way. I never
had any experience iu carrying dead bodies,
and did not know how to handle this one.
She was very heavy, and several times I
had to lay her down. When 1 arrived at
the three stumps referred to in the Oregon
ian. I was almost exhausted. I rested a
while, and then threw the body over. It
was terrible hard work, and 1 did not feel
much like walking further. I found a fairly
convenient spot, under a big stump and laid
the body down. I thought then that it was
not the best place, but I was too tired to go
ahead. So 1 arranged the clothes nicely
about her limbs, and gathering a few ferns
spread them over her,' I then sat down and
viewed my work. I felt that I would be
found out, but did not care. I was not in
the leas6sorry, in fact I don't remember
now just how I did feel. B it I went' back,
tp my work, an'l you- kuiw what interest I
haye since taken in the case. On my return
I hid the bucket, and hat Mamie had, near
the trail I had followed. They were both
in plain sight, and it is a wonder the search
ers did not find them."
"Suspiciou. pointed toward me, and I
hardly knew what to do to overcome this.
Sunday m rniug I heard my brother's little
girl talking about the arrest of Rafes.
Here a happy thought struck me. I made
up my mind to strengthen the suspicion
against Rafcs, I went out and found the
bucket aud hat. The latter I tried to burn,
but it had become wet, and after wasting
several matches I buried it. I smashed the
bucket with my foot and took it to Rafes'
wigwam, where I hid it near his door. The
hook to tha bucket 1 threw in the hollow
stump. I congratulated my3clf that I had
erased all traces behind me, but I was
doomed to disappointment. All I caul I do
to throw the officers off my trail was with
out success, and at last they have struck
upon the right man. Here I a:n. I cm f ess
the crime and expect to die for it."
Wilson was taken from tho jail at Oregon
City to Portland by the officers a) the ex
citement in the community ran so high
when it was learned that Wilson liad con
fessed the crime that it was feared he would
be lynched if kept t'ure. A mob followed,
however, and forawaile excitement was high
around the Multnomah county j iil. The
officers had taken the precaution to spirit
the prisoner away so that when the mob ar
rived on the scene li3 was not to be found
aud they finally dispersed after searching
the jail.
Sheriff Kelly, of Multnomah county, an
ticipating another visit from the mob and
fearing that he might not be so successful in
again protectina the prisoner in the event
of such a call, decided to take him to the
penitentiary at Sileni and a.-ordi'vly th
governor's permission for snuh au aetrom sev

his escape- and nothing further' lias- been,
seen of him.
Considerable excitement wat created iii t
Milwaukie Tues lay evening by tho an,- ,
u 'Uncement that Wilson ha t bSau , seen,
lurking in the vicinity and a p sse of aloii, ..
200 men surroilnde 1 the place where he waa,
supposed to have been seen, but nothing -came
of it. And it set-ms ahmsi impossibly-,
to gain any leliable information. If the mur
derer is caught he will certainly.-be lynched i
as soon as found. He has undoubtedly
traveled farjjffid fast and is now . out. of thn -reach
of the avengers, because he know,
that it is certain death if he is caught and
would not be likely to ramuin where he ,
was in such eonataut danger, and is more .
than likely somewhere iu the coast range of
mountains where he is hiding from jnstioj .
until such time as he may - think it'sife t
venture out far euough to get outside the, ,
state.
Sheriff Kelley is the object of . censure
from all quarters, although there- can be no ,
doubt thit he thought he was acting for. tho. ,
best at the t'mpj
Search parties are still out,- but as yet t
nothing has been seen ot the fugitive.
Sheriffs Kelley and Sampson have author-.-,
ized a reward of $200 for the body of Wil- ,
son dead or alive,, whiolv will stimulate tln
searchers somewhat.
