Views of Each Regarding the
A) Pardon of Burleigh, the
Rape Fiend.
Regarding this matter Mr. Condon
writes the Oregonian from Newport, un
der date of the 13th inst as follows:
In your issue of the nth instant ap-
pears an item from Salem stating that j
C. W. Burleigh, convicted in Lincoln
county May 5, 1894, of the crime of rape,
had just been pardoned by Governor
rennoyer, and further stating tha': the
reason stated by the governor was that
"the prosecuting attorney did not think
the prisoner guilty." Will you allow me
space to state that the prosecuting at
torney has at no time doubted the guilt
of the scoundrel whom the governor has
just pardoned. His victim was a deli
cate child of ten years. I have, during
my two terms of office, recommended
the pardon of but one man, and I desire
that Governor Pennoyer shall have full
credit for this last subversion of justice.
Burleigh was plainly guilty, and to turn
such a fiend loose upon' the people is
itself a crim2.
There is either a mistake in the report
of the reason assigned by the governor
or a wilful misrepresentation upon the
face of the record.
As the governor has been abusive in
his official correspondence with me upon
tht3 subject, I deem it possible that he
has not been overly scrupulous in this
feature of the matter.

Salem, July 16. The reason given by
the governor for the pardon of C. W. I
Burleigh, convicted in Lincoln county I
May 5, 1891, for the crime of rape, was I

those affidavits are found in the sub- j th; acC0Ullt it fortuately enables ail con
joined letter, dated July 1894, which I cerne(l to com,,ine piea8ur(., delightful sea
was sent to Prosecuting Attorney S. W.
Condon, at Eugene, Or., by Governor
Pennoyer:
"In the matter of the application for .a
pardon for Cyrus N. Burleigh, sentenced
to the penitentiary for five years at the
May term of court for Lincoln county,
for the crime of attempted rape on the
person of Glenna Mabel Irish, I will say
that I have the affidavit of Samuel Irish, (
the father of the child, that she has been !
subject to fits of mental aberration for
years, and also the affidavit of Daisy
Irish, his wife, and the "stepmother of
the girl, in which she has heard the
child accuse her own father of having
criminal intercourse with her. I have
also the affidavit of Catherine Burleigh,
wife of Cyrus W. Burleigh, that her hus
band is 72 years of age, and that he has
been impotent more than a year. I have
also the statement of John Kelsay, at-
tornpv for till said Burleiwli on tli trial.
tli: t he said Burleigh testified during
the trial as to his impoteucy. It appears
to me that if the courts sentence impo
tent old men to the penitentiary for rape
, on the unsupported testimony of crazy
girls, it is a proper casa for executive
clemency. In accordance with section
1612 of the code I request of you a state
ment of the facts of the cast."
This is the worst yet. These affida
vits, to anyone but Oregon's damphool
governor, would have been further as
surance of .the old devil's guilt. The
affidavit of Daisy Irish "Big Six," as
she is familiarly known and stepmother
of the abused, misguided victim of the
old man's brutal nature to the effect
that the child had accused her own j
father of having had criminal intercourse
with her,' is generally believed, and only
serves to strengthen the prevalent opin
ion, that he, too, should be placed in
the penitentiary to, in a measure, con
done for his years of misspent life, and
at the same time rid society cf his rot- !
ten, odorous presence. The statement i
of Mrs. BuileighXthat her husband is 'Wallace, Arthur J. Brown, C. C. Strattou
impotent, and has been so for a year a,,1 E"li,n'1 D. Grant, of Portland, Presi
past, will not disprove the fact that the ' ,,ent Blo8S aml th, c"1!ee facn,y ,,ave

had been convicted after .i fair n,1 in,- i b"r"' Nri White Kinney, of Astoria,
partial trial. There is but little doubt
that all affiants have been partners in
the old man's crime, and of course have
no scruples in swearing to anything that
would assist him iu gaining his liberty. !

tne face of society in every community I
in which they . have lived, and when the
old man was .sent up, the people of both
Lincoln and Benton counties rejoiced,
although he is probably entitled to more
consideration . than either Irish or his
wife. " Even grant that the old man wai
innocent of the charge, he should have
been permitted to serve his term out on
general principles, and in so doing he
would have lived in the hope of seeing
the balance of his family ere the five
years had expired.
To THE Editor: In the Oregonian of
the 17th inst, the thing we call governor
offers to outraged humanity an excuse
for turning loose one cf the most con
temptible and fiendish criminals that
ever disgraced any country. He says he
has received affidavits favorable to the
wretch from Colonel Kelsay, his counsel

him guilty. Can anyoae fathom the
wretched prevarication of the governor
when he attempts to justify his act by
saying -"It appears to me that if the
courts sentence impotent old men to the
penitentiary for rape on the unsupported
testimony of crazy girls, it is a proper
case for executive clemency." No one
was ever sent to the penitentiary in Ore-
1 gon or anywhere else on such testimony,
j ani tlie governor knows it.
He also
knows that every one- who reads his
statement knows that he knows it. He
knows that this case has no kind of
j similarity to the one he has imagined
i for defence. There was testimony
j enough to convict Burleigh a dozen
times over, before any jury in the state.
, Besides tlve little girl's story, competent
' physicians testified that she had been
so brutally outraged, that she might
' never regain her health. The poor little
; thing seems to have been reared in a
nest of devils of whom Burleigh was
; the chief. The parties who by their affi
davits, assisted by Pennoyer, have se
cured his release, did all they could to
prevent his conviction. With the excep
tion of Judge Kelsay, who was his attor-
ney, they are persons whose testimony
is utterly unrelianie 111 sucn a case ami
should not longer be allowed to control

Why not live single? The desert of life
Is all the more ureary when coupled with a wife.
Ps wuarise in perfect, its beauty we feel,
B-.it, ere iu:tldav, the cictus is pricking our heel.
The eveninar draws on there's no siirn of water;
Wc i-urry a i .ad 'tis a son or a daughter;

Banton County Stock.
J L. Castle, ho f..r a number of years
has been sin expensive stock buyer for the
Portland market, isauthorily for the state-
incut- that John Rickard, uf this cun'y,
raises the best stoi k of all kinds of any

233 head of mu'.toa sheep, that after ni k
ing the drive of 103 miles, averaged 11
poun Is apiece and at ih it timj brought the
top uotcli price. Not long siuca Mr. Castle
drove tifiy heal of bof cattle to the lae--

account ot tlie strike was uu..o e to uo

Portlaiul. 1 hey
averaged 1 10') pounds
aroiiu ', an I at the stock yards and by
everyone who saw them, they wtre con
sidered the best beef ever sol 1 ill that city.
The cattle were thoroughbred shorthorns
and were raised by Mr. Ilickard who has
ling eijoyvd all euviable reputation as a
stock rais r I-y buyers, because of the
superior qu
ity of his beef and mutton,
land among his neighbors, because he has
always received a trills more thin the m ir
jket price for his stock. Mr. Castle left
j Wednesday wil ha drove of 1000 head of
1 mutton sheep for the Portland maiket
I which had been purchased in this county.
I Cattle now are extreindy low, the price
offered ranging from 1. cents for cows to
2 cents for steers.
Grain May be Graded.
From tbe coi.fl.cting reports
regarding
the effect of the grain aphis, it is impossi
ble to determine whether the pest has done
serious damage or not. From all portions
of the county jje have heard that it had
woikcd sad havoc with both spring and fall
grain and not only had its serious effects
been Uotieed upoa the wheat, but upon the
oat.', barley and rye. Fn m the same locali
ties we have been informed that no injurv
is thus far apparent, the heads being well
tilled and the grains plump.
A peculiar worm made its appearance
during the past ten days that feeds on the
aphis with the greed of a glutton an 1 is
reported to be doing good Service in vaiious
parts of the county. It i3 gray iu color
aud attains a length of less than an inch.
Ls woik is accomplished by climbing up. a
j sta.k of grain, devouring xhn aphis as it
ic!1" a"d on reaching the head, it falls to the
ground aud repeats the operation. In some
fields tha aphis ha3 entirely disappeared
which is no doubt due to tho hoggish pro
clivities of the worm as well ua the faithful
perfonn..i.ce of its duty.
A correct idea of the damage ol the aphis
wiil not be known until afur Idie grain has
beeu threshed. From the fact that the
pest sucked the sap while the wheat was
jet in the dough, it is generally supposed
that it will have a tendency to shrivel the
graiu'aud thus rednce the yield and lessen
tha price. Wherever the grain has beeu
similarly affected iu the east, Prof. Wash
burn says it has been customary with
warehousemen to grade it, aud it is probable
that the practice wi.I prevail here this
summer. While it is uudi ubted'y tiue
that the grain effected by the pest should
ue "laded, unscrupulous dealers, if any such
theie Le, m.iy ti.ke advautage Jef the cir
cumstance to depreciate the price of the
uoiuiiiodi y and farmers should look to it
thut they are uot deceived. It will be a
very easy matter to "take in" the unwary
grower, who has never before had experi
ence with the pest or the grain upon which
it has worked, aud such will serve their
best interests by making a careful investi
gation of tho matter before disposing cf
their crops at a greatly reduced price.

Tha New Regent.
Last Friday Hon. John M. Osbnrn, of
this city, was appointed by Governor Pen
noyer to fill the vacancy on the board of
regents of the Oregon Agricultural college
caused by the death of Dr. J. M. Apple
white. The new regent lirt ' saw the liht
of day September 1, 1S28, in Crawford
county, Pa. In 1852 he came to California
via P..u mi and f -r the two years following
was cniph yed in mining, when he returned
to Pennsylvania and engngtd in the cattle
business. It is said that during the des
perate battle of Gettysburg, Mr. Usburu
had a large drove of c itde a few miles to
the rear of the Uni n forces; he being uti
able to get the stock out, was compelled to
await the conclusion of the battle, as his
safety depended wholly upon the victory of
the Ujiion f .roes, for had Lee won the fight
the cattle would have b en captured by
him. In March, 181L he started for Ore
gon via Panama, arriving in Corvallis the
following April. Since that time ho has
purchased several lare tracts of laud and
ha3 been extensively engaged iu the stock
i business, in which he has met with good
SUCCjSJ.
Iu I580 lie represented Benton county in
the legislature and his record met with the
approv.d i.f his constituents. He has
always been a warm Licud tj the cause of
euuca:.ii n ai.d has ail along particularly in
terested himself in tha we.f.ae of the col
lege. While iu the legislature he favored
the purchase of a large tract of land to be
used by the institution as a college farm.
Aillioun tne plau lie advocated was
not consummated during his term
of edict", a subsequent legislature j -proved
the idea and male provision f .r the
purchase . f ti.e same tract mIiLIi he had
previously ur.ed them to buy
So.ue
years later he served the city in the ca;,u-
city of major. Mr. Osbtiru is the happy
possessor of a combination of qualities
which have made Mm a success in business
and which will i( ial!y lit him to deal with
the various duties of a college regent, lie
will always be found on the side which, iu I
his opinion, will best advance the vaiicd
interests i.f the scln ol. This selccti. n
meets with approval from all sources ai.d
entitles the governor to congratulations f, r
the wisdom displayed in m..king it.

Social Sestioii.
Tuesday evening will be long renumbered
by members of Friendship lodge, A. O. U.
W. The ladies of the Degree of Honor
lodg.", an auxiliary co the Workmen,
gave a social session at their hall to which
all workmen and their wives were invited.
An interesting musical and literary program
had been arranged and was well carried out.
Tins was followed by a sumptuous lunch,
consisting of sandwichep, cakes, ice?, etc.,
to which one of the company at least did
ample justice. To a casual observer the
rather portly frame of V. E. Yates would
indicate that he had always beeu well fed
aud was possessed of only an ordinary ap
petiti ; but a greater mistake Was never
nude. According to tho most authentic
information ho devoured twenty dishes of
ice cream to say nothing of the dozen sand
wiches and five or six cakes stowed away.
One would naturally suppose that twenty
dishes of ice cream eaten at a single siltiu
would be sufficient to freeze the person into
a swlid cake of ice. Not so with William
it never fazed him. Tnis phenomenon can
'jw'y be accounted for by the color of his
hair which probably kept hij digestive
apparatus red hot. The Degree of Honor
lodge fttoulJ present Mr. Yates with a
& medal, bearing on the face the American
eagle with outstretched wings protecting a
forty gallon, freezer, on which is iusci il.ed
"13 PiuriLU3 Onion," whiJi translated ac
coiding to thd uc.y version means, ' I

IT COVERS A GOOD DEAL OF GROUND
Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medictd Diseoverv.
And when you hear
that it cures so many
diseases, perhaps you
think "its toj good
to bo true.1'
But it's only rea
sonable. As a blood
cleanser, flcsh-biulder,
and strength-restorer,
nothinar like tho " Dis
covery " is known to medical science. Tha
diseases that it cures coaw from a torpid
Uver, or from impure blood. For everything
of this nature, it is tho only guaranteed
remedy. In Dystiepfcia, Biliousness ; ail
Bronchial, Throat and Lung olfections; ev
ery form of Scrofula, even Consumption (or
Lung-scrofula) in its earlier stages, and in
tho most stubborn Skin and Scaip Diseases
if it ever fails to benefit or cure, you have
your money back.

Freiehtirifir to Euc-ene.
The presence of eleven teams at the Ore
gon Pacific dep. t last Saturday that weie be
iug loaded with freight for Eugene, which
had been shipped from San Fraucisco,' re
minded one f the scenes of a year agt,
when the same system of transportation
was put iu operation ly tbe Eugene mer
ehants. It was tried first in hopes that the
S. P. compai-y would be induced to lower
the tariff on merchandise 'between Albany
and Eugene, but they would uot, and aa
ihe transportation from Corvallis by wagons
coat le5 than by rail from Albany, the
scheme was cou.iuued until the fall rains
set in, which ikc. ssitated a return to the
railroad company for moving their freight.
Su! Si-queutly, however, the steamer Eugene
was built and placed on the line between
Portland aud Eugene and a large portion of
l.usiuets for that city, both from Portland
and San Francisco via the Oregon Pacifio
to Coi valiis, has since been taken care of
by the steamer. But the river during the
pad; few weeks has reached such a low
stage that it a;is impossible to operate her
longer above this city, consequently teams
will (.erform the service until the npuer
river again reaches a boating stage. About
six'y live tons of freight arrived by last
steamer to be forwarded from this city by
wagons.
