Heney's argument Monday was in effect that abatement pleas should not be contended for under the Oregon statute and he finther submitted affi davits whereby, he contended that Juror Gnistin was a legal juror and that Heney is a legal prosecutor. The second day of argument -.u the Mitchell abate ment proceedings has been ended and the question has gone to Judge Bellinger for his decision, which will be an nounced upon the opening of court on Monday next. At the opening of the morning session United States District Attorney Heney asked permission to introduce citations which he had overlooked the day before in sup- t of h b contention that the pleas in abatement had been filed tco late to be of effect. The permission was given, ai d he cited the Cobban case, by Judge Deady, and the Agnevs case in 165 United States' to maintain his point. Attorney Bennett in beginning his ar gument, like O'Day in the l'uter-Wats.m case, prefaced hid remarks by a quota tion , and interspersed them with sar- e&av "Consistency, thou art a jewvl.'' be Stat! at first breath. "The other da Mr. Heney objected to the tiling of thes; pleia in abatement on the ground thit they had been filed to late, ami now ln fore the words are hardly cold in his mouth he is objecting becau-e we did fire them before we were arraigned " he speaker then proceeded to arnue hi aide of the plea of aba'eni-nt. and re opied the whole of the loraaoew i: i cussing the questions at issue. He i eiated that Mr. Heney had failed to ' rbduce the promise 1 statutes povernine the procedure ra Feieral court? in : lie matter of pleas in abatement, especially as regarded thj offering of arlil.iv.ts, :e was done the lay previous by the Go ere meat attorney in regard to tbe t-iti-zenshipof ierge ti'iistin and the pre judice of hi i.st-lf towards the defen 1 airt. Boni e insisted that since a great pl of !h- ! settlers pi the state had eojne fro ii ti-souri their deeend wits wire bred ( ' heir disposition and would like to be 'n mm, rather than to take tht" word of anyone for a thine so seri-oiv-- in effec a the prxxiut ti-jn or nnti ptyducliou oi the statutes desired. Senator .Mitchell's attorney argued tht the common law and not the statutes of a iate governed the selection ofja jrfsyiM? Federal courts. The corn men taw reoguized the plea of abate nt Its't'ie proper means of testing the ie lify"bf a grand jury and upon this la t-tjie .defense based in part its claim. The manner in which the jury was im puseled was one of tbe most serious tlrinfcs iir the case," contended Bennett. '3 hejflrsCtwo men were ex'-used an I erajsew put in- their p.laces contrary tu l statutes. Then another man was nd.'e which shows the body to have r 8-eirimnr and variable one It i- Seme, therefore, that if we are entitle ! 1 6 tfiaT on" the validity of jurors the de lay she aid be taken.' Ii Behalf of Mitchell. j'-jltaeaee," continued Bennet, "is a t$cr;n:cal one. and involves no direct i-karse of moral turpitude, other than that Senator Mitchell might have un kpoyingly taken money as a member of affirm f r services done by that firm SPRAYS, SULPHUR, LIME, BLUE VITRUL AND CAUSTIC SODA OF THE BEST QUALITIES SOLD MARSTERS' DRUG STORE which awe not according to the Federal hiv coveruing irtemK-rs of the Senate. Iu those M her cases we have waived all rights of ilemarrer. eveu though e t'lotittht we could overturn the indict ments, and are ready and willing and waiting to co to trial. If of all these ea:-es t is present one is the onlv one in which tbe Government is ready to trv, hen it BraaW seem that the mountain has Whore I and come to the mouse."

I do not think that President lio.,sevelt would nave appoint ed Mr. Heney if he had known that he was breaking the law. I do not know how Mr. Heney holds his office." Court Appointed Braty. ''I api-ointed Mr. Heney," interrupted Judge Ri lliaa.lt "I had reason to be lieve that the Administration deired him to he appointed, and. therefore, I appointe 1 him. "We . I didn't know ," cont nuei Ben nAt, ' b :t it is right that the man who is Diatrid Attorney should te a retident of the dis'rict, familiar with its condi tions, bound bv its customs, surrounded arid tempered by the opinions of his fellow-men. Tlds is one of the great safe guard. otherwise, some one miiiht come from California or New York and by his desire for notoriety, or to eet his name and picture in the papers, cause to 1 indicted men bv the titties and the hun dreds to gr.itily this desire. And inT fluenced by this desire he might indict those whose greatest crime had been their long service for the good of the state, while he allowed thugs and thieves by practice aod profession, to go free and nnwbipt of justice. "We are ready to verify our conten tion that Mr. Heney went before tbe grand jury and by his influence pre judiced the jury against a defendant. . We ask that this be granted us." AT OF INTEREST TO EXPOSITION VISITORS Rates For Rooms and How to Se cure Quarters in Portland With Little Trouble. It is very desirable that all visitors to the Lew is and Clark Exposition at Port land should arrange for their sleeping rooms la advance. The Southern Paci fic company has arranged with the Portland Service Company to place their tickets in the hands of all S. P. local railroad agents. L. B. Moore, the Roseburg station agent, has a supply of these tickets on hand which are sold for one dollar and which entitles the holder to the services of the Portland Service Co. in securing the kindoi room desired by the intended visitor, who is required to state the kind of quarters wanted. I'pon arriving in Portland a holder of one of these tickets is met at the depot by a yellow-capped messenger of the I'ortland Service Co., and escorted to the room engaged. In case of failure to secure satisfactory quarters no charge for .he service is made. Bates Far Boons The Portland Service Co , "has under contract in the residence districts in the be-t neigh horhoods of the city 5000 l ma in various private families, board iug houses, etc.. also 15 hotels. In pri vate I ouses the rooms vary in prices from b to 'J5 per wiek, and in hotels per day and up for each person. A man and his wife will therefore U- re quired to pay doable the price quoted above. All those contemplating going to the Fxpoeitioa w ho have not already secured ai l- mmodatioBM should consult, L. B Moore, B. P. agent, Roseburg, Oregon. NAME LOW RATES FOR EXPOSITION For funis time the question ;n the mind-' of Oregon people has lieen "what kind of rates will the railroads of Ore gon make so that we may all !e able to visit the fair." A. L. Craig, general passenger agent of the O. K. A N. and W. E. Coman of -. P have been busy for sometime investigating the matter, finding oat win:- rate would be satisfactory to the public and at the same time not hamper traffic interests and they have reached the following conclusion : According to the schedule the rates will be in effect from May 2J to October IS, aud will grant in general and at ail times a round trip fare of one and a third from any point and return, with a full time limit of 30 days. Other special- provisions have been made, however. Parties often or more persons traveling together tinder a time limit of ten daya may visit the fair from at y point in the territory for one fare, while parties of 100 dr mote will be giv en one-fare rates, with individual ticket and a return limit of ten days. Coach excursions will be ran in addi tion to the rates quoted, as often as tbe traffic will warrant, the rates for which will be lower tliaa. a:.-ooelaxe aajr. These tickets will -bo good ior seven ctays from date of sale,. bfc mA entitle to nothing more than day coach.pavUeges.

J THE PLAINDEALER MOVES INTO ITS NEW QUARTERS Modern Brick Building on Roseburg's Business Street, Centrally Located NEW BABCOCK STANDARD PRESS WITH DEXTER PAPER FOLDER New Cases. New Type and Modern Equipment Throughout Fine Book and Job Printing Department Thi will be the last number of the Plaindealer issued from its old quar ters on the corner of Main and ak streets, a building which is still num bered among the few old land marks of the city of Roseburg. When the paper and plant was purchased by the present management about five years ago the old building was com pletely overhauled and renovated, but its antique design and appearance was not altered. The Plaindealer was established in Roseburg in 1868 and during its varied career extending through all of these years it has been published in the same quarters which have at last been deserted that the paper may keep up with the march of progress by securing more central, commodious and convenient quarters. At the same time the plant, which is already one of the most complete in Southern I regon, will be modern ized in even department, among the new additions being a Babcock Stand- I ard book, job and newspaper press with a Pexter paper folder attach ment: Autocrat case stands, new cases, brass rules and several fonts of new job type, which provides the Plaindealer with by far the most complete and up-to-date newspaper and job printing plant in Southern Oregon. The Semi-Weekly Plaindealer, which today is a leader in its class of I 're gon newspapers, will be able to give its readers, advertisers and other pa THE NEW NATIONAL BIRD. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT KILLS BEAR AND BOBCAT Glenwood Spring, Colo., velt has killed a bear and bobcat. He is satisfied with the hunt for the biggest game the Rockies afford. If he gets one more bear, or several, he will be better pleased, but to quote his own words, "I got what I was after. It was bully sport and I hope it keeps up.'' First Stlrriag ii Noraln$ According to Chapman, the President is taking tbe true sportsman's delight in the rough life of the camp. He is one of the first to be stirring in the morning and always the first to sit down to breakfast. The fare seems to suit him, although he has said several times he would be as well pleased if it were leas pretentious. His idea of camp life is one kind of meat at each meal, and that fried ; vegetables of the canned variety, coffee made over an open fire and the smell of smoke in everything that is cooked. The big white horse which the Presi dent rode out of Newcastle on Ralurda y is his tavorite of tbe three that were taken along for his personal use. It is not fast, bat it is strong, and the trail is never so stony but the President and his trons even better services in its new building and with its greatly improved facilities. The publication of a daily edition is now receiving the serious consideration of its management. Never in its history has the paper enjoyed a more liberal patronage than at the present time. New sub scribers are being added to its sub scription list almost daily and old subscriliers are renewing their sub scriptions promptly, which indicates that the Plaindealer. although parti san, being the official republican pa per of Iiouglas c .unty, through its brocd. liberal and aggressive policy, and its loyalty to home and all worthy home institutions, is winning the con fidence and esteem of the public with in the bounds of its territory. It pub lishes all of the news, that is fit to print, while it is news, and covers the local, county, state and general news field in a brief and concise manner, in fact, it is our aim to give Roseburg and I'ouglas county an ideal local paper and how well we are succeed ing and may continue to succeed we submit to the verdict of the many natrons and friends of the paper. We extend a cordial invitation to our readers when in Roseburg to visit the Plain dealer in its new home, and in conclusion wish to thank the many old patrons of the paper for their literal pa tronag ich we hope to continue to rece... nd fully merit. -New York World.

Big Jake Borah, known as the most intrepid bear hunter in the Rockies and the man who will take the most desper ate- chances on a ride after the dogs, ad mits that even the mountain guide of many years' experience has many things to learn about riding. He says be can teach the President nothing. One expression which a hardy moun taineer injected into bis story was : "Say, fellows, he's a beaut and no mistake. The way he scents game would make you think he was born in tbe mountains and had never left them. Say now, being President don't make any difference with a man that's got the real stuff in him.
