. THE BECKMANN TRIAL.
A Verdict of Murder In the Second
Degree.
In Monday' issuo tho Flaindkai.eii
gavo n condensed statement of tho evi
dence, embodying tho principal points
in tho cose, both for and against, con
tended for or opposed by able counril on
both sides. Tho array of testimony, sel
dom excepded in volume and In number
of testators, has oxcited much comment.
The testimony is now all in and it be
comes our duty to give the public tho
conclusions ot tho counsel In their pleas,
tho Court'B instruct to the jury and their
verdict. Tho robnttalB of Tuesday did
not elicit any material facts in the case,
and might havo been dispensed with
without prejudice to either side.
At G minutes paBt 11 o'clock Tuesday,
tho 1 ast witness. Dr. Easter, gave his
vorslon of street scene in Roseburg in
which tho dofendant, his wifo Helena,
nod her son Robert King, figured con
spicuously, which tho defense thought
was important.
At 1 o'clock p. m. Judge Laughary,
assistant counsel for the prosecution,
commenced his argument on the plea cf
homicide of the first degree. Ho made a
clear, strong and vigorous presentation of
the case, citing the opinions of eminent
judges in support of his position. Ho
commented upon each authority only to
show, in a clear and concise manner, the
applicability to the case at bar, without
effort for rhetorical effect; but yot with
an air of sincerity, and, as he said, under
a sense of duty to society and to the
state, however painful it may be. He
reviewed tho testimony briefly and pre
sented his view of it, as revealed by the
evidence, with apparent fairnesy. The
fact ot killing was uudisputed and the
testimony, though circumstantial, was
convincing, beyond a reasonable doubt,
that the defendant was guilty and that
tho plea of insanity by the defense was
frivolous und untenable; claiming that
the lightest verdict tho jury could rea
sonably find, would bo manslaughter.
That to make justifiable homicide a valid
plea, when the killing was nlmitted to
have been done by the defendant, the
onus of proof rested with defendant to
show he was acting in self defense, or, if
by an insane person, insanity must bo
shown by defendant to have coutroled
him at the time of tho killing. Neither
of these mitigating facts, counsel claimed
had been shown.
E. B. Preble, attorney for dctendant,
bean his argument before the court at
1 p. m. and occupied one hour in citing
authorities and commenting upon the
theories and rulings of com Is upon cases
analogue to the one on trial. Mr. Preble
based his defense upon the rule of law
that on a charge of homicide of the first
degree the stato must show that the kill-
' ing "was dono in cold blood, with mal
ice aforethoueht. deliberate andnremedi
the proof or intent open deliberation did
not constitute murder in the first degree.
Ho also set up the plea that, admitting
the homicide, if shown to have been
committed by the defendant, be was la
boring under an insane impulse at the
time of tho killing, caused by the abusa
from ids wife or Robert Ring.
Mr. Preble also commented upon justi-
fiaUo Iwmldde and cited many authors
upon the subject, claiming that the de-
; fondant could not by a fmr construction
j of law bo found guilty ot a greater de
jgrec than that of manslaughter. Tho
above position Mr. Preblo elaborated
with great tact and legal ability. His ad
1 1
dress to the jury was one of marked
v.;i:
abounding in lode, eloouence
e and sympathy for his client that won the
; admiration of all who listened to him
3:50 tlyi court adjourned to 9 a. m. Wed
ucsdav.
Wednesdy, at 9:20, Geo. 31. Brown,
' the district attorney, arose to address the
court on closing this long and tedious

LOOK OUT FOR THEfl.
The Rango Peddlers Abroad In the
Land.
It Id curious Id uoto how often people
act contrary to their own ititerects.
When tliev Imv eu important u article
as a r4Ugu from u.i lrreep-Mi'.il.lt' p.-.Kltar
inBtoad ut patronizing a rtvtiUr dealer,
is a case in point. The ocl will of the
consumer and a reputation for just deal
ings don't matter half so much to the
rango peddler as his individual profits.
Tho reverso is trae of tho legitimate stove
dealer. He can not afford to imposo on
his customers in anyway whatever, be
cause he must rely on tho future trade of
his neighbors for bis livelihood and must
retain their confidence at all hazards.
After people have been taken in by a
range peddler thoy see v this clearly
enough and, as usual, lock the stable
door after the horse is tolen.
In various places in this county during
the past few months the range peddler
bos been operating with more or less suc
cess. By smooth talk and false repre
sentation the agent manages to dispose
hiB ranges at prices ranging from $25
to $30 higher than the same rango could
be purchased for from reliable local deal
ers. Of course they give their 4notea for
the range, payable at a certain time, but
with the promise of the agent that if they
don't havo the money when the note be
comes due, it will not mako any differ
ence and they can pay when they please
the company will extend the time to
suit their convenience. But when the
note becomes due they are called upon
pay tho money forthwith. Of course
there is a general kick, but the money
has to be paid or trouble begins.
The Negro In the South.
Rev. N. S. Buckner gave an instruc
tive discourse to bis hearers Sunday on
the subject of "Christian Education."
Tho discourse was mainly with reference
to the work of the M. E. church in the
South since the late war. It abounded
in much statistical information showing
tho increase in knowledge and the bles
sings of Christianity to the negro through
the efforts of the M. E. church in their
behalf. He spoke of the efforts of some
to attempt the colonization of tho freed
clave in Liberia and other distant locali
ties, and ot the intention of the colored
men to remain on American soil. There
fore they must be educated and trained
to bo good citizens. Twenty-eight years
ago he said the M. E. church entered the
South to educate the blacks and bring
them to a knowledge of Christianity.
Their efforts have been successful in a
great degree, and more had been accom
plished in the last 23 years than the one
hundred years prior to the war. They
hud established -13 colleges and educa
tional institutions in the South since the
war. The South, he remarked, was do
ing greater work for the negro than the
North, that there were 277 members of
the M. E. church doing ministerial duty
in the 16 southern states. We cannot
give in a newspaper article a full des
cription of Rev. Buckner's discourse,
suffice to say that it was one that en
gaged the undivided attention of his
audience.

A Row in French Settlement.
Editor Plai.n dealer: A box social
was given by the young ladies of French
Settlement at the school house last Sat
urday evening. A fair sized audience
was present and all seemed to be enjoy
ing tho excellent programme that had
been arranged for them, when the pro
ceedings were interrupted by the hilari
ous entrance of half a dozen young men
loaded to the muzzle with bng juice
otherwise known as prune brandy
which they had purchased at the dis
tillery. They became noisy and quarel
some, and soon a "free for all" tight was
ngaged in, both inside and outside of
tho school building. The ladies were
very badly frightened of course, and sev
eral of the participants in tbe meleo re
ceived several black eyes and bloody
noses, whilo ono or two were seriously
banged up, Such scenes are disgraceful
and should' be put a stop to. Prune
brandy, sold by tbe gallon only, seems
to produce as bad results in a community
as if disposed of in lesser quantities.

Why Declined.
James Inman of Lookinir dlass. m a
communication to tho Review, cora-
ains that the Plaisdealek refuses
neclects to publish articles from
his hand on the money or other ques
tions, and attributes it to a lack of appre
ciation of his literary abilities. ISot so,
Brother Inman. not so. The articles
were declined ou account cf their length
more than anything else, and though we
i accept and frequently publish lengthy
communications, as several articles in
our columns over tho stguaturo of James
Inman and others attust, wo do so un
ir protest, and mentally resolve that if
tho Lord will forgive us this time wo will
nover do so any more. Well written
articles, ou subjects of general interest to
our readers, are seldom declined by the
FiaiNDEALEn, if short and to tho point.

Planting the Standard
The World's Fair contained no finer statue of the great
discoverer than this colossal figure. It commanded from its
pedestal the eastern entrance to the Administration build
ing. The majesty of its dimensions, the vigor and aggres
siveness of its expression and the artistic finish of its com
position made it admired as a genuine sculptural triumph.
Another Standard Proudly Displayed " j
at the Fair was that of
Dr. Price'sCream Baking Powder
A Standard of Excellence for Forty Years.
It was the standard of unequalled strength, perfect
purity and wholesome results. The award to Dr. Price's ot
highest honors at the Fair furnishes conclusive evidence of
its superiority over all other baking powders.
