FARMER NEARLY
ROASTED ALIVE
Cottage Grove, May 22. Saturday
evening Z. Nelson, a prosperous farmer,
returned to his farm home two miles
east of this place at a rather late hour
after having looked too long upon the .
wine, and along toward Sunday morning
was awakeoed from his stupor by tbe
beat from the Barnes which had entirely
nveioped his home. Being alone in tbe
house he made a rush through the
flames tor tbe open air and succeeded in
making bis escape-in his night clothes
after having bis hair, eyebrows, and
beard singed and being pre tty badly
burned on tbe face and hands. The
house and its contents were a total loss
and Nelson congratulated himself upon
escaping with bis life. He walked over
to the home of his nearest neighbor and
borrowed a pair of shoes and a suit of
clothes in order to go to town and re
plenish his wardrobe. Whether or not
be has decided to reform and sign the
pledge has not been ascertained, but he
ays he does not care to wake up in such
a tropical locality again.

Mr. McCall announces that all entries
for tbe speed events most be made by
6 p m on Tuesday, the first day of the
fair, and that all exhibits must be in
place, either in the pavillion or on tbe
grounds, by 9 o'clock a m on the dav
following.
It has been four years since a district
fair has been held in Douglas county.
During the time that has elapsed, great
strides have been made in the progress
of every branch of our industries, the
results of enlightening observation,
business advancement and never end
ing experience. No better opportuni"
ty is afforded for exploiting tbo ad
vancement in these things than at a
district f;.ir Therefore, let everyone
unite in m. iking the exhibition com
mensurate with the advancement which
the county has made since the last fair
was held here.
The society will spare no efforts to
make the fair a grand success, with the
$1.00 available from the state. In this
they rightly expect the eo-rperation of
the four counties in the district, and
more especially Douglas county. While
the premium list is not yet completed,
assurance is given that it will be attrac
tive enough to merit complete and
creditable exhibits of livestock, poultry,
and agricultural, horticultural, forestry,
mineral and manufactured products,
work of art, fancy work and other arti
clee of whatever nature would be worthy
of interest. Promise is also given that
the purses, will insure a good speed
program.

SENTENCED TO HANG
Victim Hung His Head and Said
"Another One" When Sen
tence Was Pronounced
Chicago, May l'J. Johan Hook, the
wife murderer, was sentenced to death
today.
The case of Hoch, who was charged
with the murder of his wife, VIrs. Marie
W ale ker-Hoch. was given to the jury in
Judge Kerstens' court early this after
noon. The courtroom was crowded
Hoch appeared indifferent to tbe pro
ceedings, and frequently rested his chin
on his hand as he closed his eyes, lu
his closing speech, Assistant State's At
torney Olsen said:
'-Gentlemen, this is an artistic assas
sin. We are dealing with no common
murderer; dealing with a person not
a man iu all the fullness of that term
who was skillful in all that he did. The
truth stands out full and clear as to who
Johan Hoch is, and what he does."
Attorney Olsen demanded that the
law be satisfied with the execution of
the man whom he called "one of the
most monstrous criminals known iu
Chicago since the day ol Holmes."
When the verdict was announced.
Hoch stood iu a stupor He nodded bis
head. He seemed unable In realize
what was said. After a moment's si
lence, he asked the question, "Another
one?" No person understood what he
meant. A bailiff tapd him on the
shoulder and tried to bring tiim to. Sev
eral women who had leeu awaiting the
verdict fainted in the courtroom.
In the commotion that followed Hoch
was escorted from the courtroom by a
bailiff A verdict of guilty was voted on
the first ballot. On the first ha. lot for
punishment the vote stood two for lite
sentence and ten for the death penalty
Two additional ballots were required to
bring the two remaining juryuieu over
to tbe death penalty.
FAIR ATTRACTION
SHOCKS POLICEMEN
San Francisco, May 18. Miss Lillian
Haas and her troupe of dancers shocks I
Policeman McManus, who dropped in on
the performance on Kearney street to
day, and he forthwith arrested tbe wo
man ami her manager. Miss 1 aa- is
on her way from St. Louis, where she
reigned unmolested on ; the Pike, to
Portland, where she intend to get up
her throne on the Trait as stsiu as the
exposition opens. Hers i bootchie
kootchie and hulahula art in iu very
latest developments.
The policemen's description of the
dance irformed by Miss Haas wis at
tentively listened to by Judge Cabanise
and a crowded auditorium, a d at it
conclusion the witness recounted a star
to the effect that gentlemen ere t
ertly solicited to pay an extra two-hits
and be privileged to perceive Miss Haas
in a private exhibition.
Miss Haas o lie re I to do her dance for
the judge to prove it was not lawdefy
ing. Tbe judge, however, dismissed
tbe charge against her, with a warning,
however, to Miss Haas and her mana
ger that they should practice discretion
by reserving their performances for tt e
edifieation of visitors to the Iewis and
Clark Fair. A charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses could not be proven.
There will be a lot of this kind of
amusement at the Portland fair and it
seems a little raw and rank to spend the
good taxpayers' money to demoralize
the pnbjic with indecent shows. But
that is what a great many people go 'o
these fairs for, and tbe people want this
sort of thing, and will pay for it. Ed
ANOTHER HOT SHOT
FROM THOS. LAWSON
Boston, May 21, 1905.
Editor Plaindealer: Twelve months
ago I made to the American people in
the "Foreward" of my story, "Frenzied
Finance," a promise to expose the oper
ations of tbe most nefarious and destruc
tive band of brigands this or any other
country has been oppressed with.
Tbe "System" met my promises with
ridicule, and their hirelings from one
end of the land to the other chorused.
"He will never dare tell !"
In the June number of Everybody's
Magazine, published on the 20th if Mm .
I tell of the first great crime of Amalga
mated in a double chapter of 24,000
words. I give in a brick-and mortar
style tbe details of this act by which the
Au.erican people were robbed of $36,
000,000 through the agency of the big
gest national bank in America, the Na
tional City ("Standard Oil") Bank of
New York.
I feel and I think you will agree with
me when vou have read what I tell
that it is of vital importance to the
whole American people that they every
man, woman, and child knows the facts
I expose.
Bo far I have given a year of my time
and some $600,000 of my moi ey to get
my message to the American people,
and I wou d ask if, for my work for I
have nothing to sell and no office or
other thing to ask of the American peo
p'e. yon cannot see it in the light of a
public doty to do all in your power to
get tbe Jane chapter of my story to the
people of your community. If so, I
leave to your good judgment the way
and tbe means to do so

THE MILLION-DOLLAR BILL
HELD UP BY REFERENDUM
Fight Against the Normal Schools-Vote Will Be
Taken Whether Sums for These Schools Be
Allowed With Other Institutions.
Salem, Or., Mav 18. The referendum
petitions, demanding that House hill
No. :t70, known as the $1,000,000 appro
priation bill, lie referred to a vote of the
people, was tiled in the office oi the Sec
retary of the Slate this forenoon. The
appropriation bill will therefore not take
effect, but will remain in abeyance until
after the general election in June, 19U6
At that time the question will tie pre
sented to the people whether the appro
priation bill shall tecoine a law. If a
majority voting thereon vote in the af
llriuative, the hill will Iwmie a law.
and not otherwise.
This hill carries the appropriations for
maintenance at the asylum, penitenti
ary, reform school, mute school, blind
School an. I four normal sch ols. It also
contains appropriations for additional
maintenance and new buildings at the
l iiiversity of Oregon, the Slate Agricul
tural i oliege and the Soldiers Home.
It contains tne appropriations for the
trauspot tat ion ol insane patients and
convicts au l the expense ot returi.ing
fugitives, tbe aid of non-resident poor
ami several minor items. The total
amount of the appropriations is a little
over $1,000,000.
Protest on Ptraicious Practice
Tbe hill was objectionable to many
people, because in it the legislature
j irud the items of maintenance of tt.e
normal schools with tbe items for the
maintenaiiceof the asylum, penitentiary,
etc., over the protest of several members
d the legislature For many vears the
practice lias prevailed of making omni
bus appropriation bill, and the filing of
the referendum iietitinns is generally
regarded as an effort of the people to
overthrow what they believe to be a
pernicious practice.
Tht ti.li.g ol the referendum petlti ins
will liave the effect of preventing the
x( u titure of any of the sums appro
priated by this bill. A large portion of
t tie re enue ba air. a ly Ivn raised or

levied Uad the money will annum ate in
the state tie i-ury.
Secietary ol State Ibinhar. acting un

ROOSEVELT TOWN IN ARIZONA IS NOW DOOMED
The town of Roosevelt, A. T., hum-1
ming as it is with activity of its 3000
inhabitants, is doomed. Its lease of life
is only three years. In 1908, when the ;
engineers of the reclamation service j
shall have completed the highest dam
in the world, Roosevelt will lie 172 feet ,
below the surface of the water in the
reclamation reservoir. Work has been
in progrete for about a year, but the j
men are laboring now day and night, in 1
' clafmants until the Legislature appro
priates money for their payment or can
discount them lo warrant brokers at
about I cents OO the dollar. I he sec-
' r.-tary will refuse to audit claims fur new
: buildings at Buy of the institutions.
No Certificates for V-rmals
i Secretary of State I 'unbar has already
indicated his intention not to issue cer
tificates of allowance upon claims for
tle mainterance of Normal Schools. He
has taken this po-itioii because the Nor
mal scb ols have never been regarded
as state institutions in the same sense
that the asylum, penitentiary, etc., are
state institutions, because their claims
were n -t audited in is ,7 when no ap-propnatnu-
were available, because
the Slate lioard of Levy made no esti
mate for Normal School r in making the
Annual est i mac of state ex)ienses in
January. Secretary I'unharwill follow
precedent until the judicial department
directs him to do otherw ise.
It is understood that local hanks and
business men have arrange.) to furnish
funds for the Monmouth, Ashland and
WeMon Normals, and perhaps a similar
' arrangements may be made at Drain.
i An effort will first be made to establish
the right of these institutions to have
their claims audited and a friendly suit
I will lie brought to rompel tbe Secretary
ol Mate lo issue certificates of allow
ances. If this should U- decided against
t the normals, the local capitalists will
' furnish funds and depend upon the next
Legislature for reimbursement.

Francis W. Cushman, who re
turned to Tacoma this evening, gives
out an interview, in which he bitterly
arraigns the prosecutors of tbe land
fraud cases in Oregon, and declares his
implicit faith in the innocence of Sena
tor Mitchell and Congressmen Hermann
and n tlliamson.
"I do cot believe this man Pater ever
gave Senator Mitchell one cent of dis
honest money. He simply lies when he
says he did, in hope of saving himself
s-enator Mitchell has done no more than
I have done myself hundreds of times,
and 1 defy an investigation of my record.
I do not blame Pater he is like a rat
caught in a trap bat I do blame the
people of Oregon, who received favors of
Senator Mitchell for years. I do not
think the jury will ever be found in the
Commonwealth of Oregoi th:it will con
vict Senator Mitchell, because I do not
believe he is guilt).'1
Congressman Cushman was asked if
there aas any lik -hbood of land fraud

stating he wanted to drive up the Coast
Fork to tbe home of Eli-ha Geer, says

The team was furnished and Schaffer

horses were not returned the proprietors
became suspi, i.us that something was

Thinking the team had been taken
