Heney Has Land Fraud Case
Against Him Dismissed
At Portland.
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 2G. "No
man ought to bo called upon to an
swer n chargo which Is not mads
against him until nftor tho lapso of
83 long a time," In tho opinion of
Special Prosecutor Heney, who mov
c.! for tho dismissal of all charges
against Dlngor Hormann, ex-Repro-
SOtltntlVn In f!nnirns nmt nv.Pnm-
mlssloner of tho General Land Ofllcn.
Federal Judgo Wolverton dismissed
nil tho cases. "1 am convinced that
no furthor uenoflclal effect tmon bo-
doty can bo secured by Mr. Her
rmann's prosecution and conviction,
or, In other words, by his punish
ment, and particularly by his Imnrl-
sonment In tho ovont that ho should
bo convicted upon another trial,"
I said Honey. "Mr. Herman 'was In
dicted In this caso on February 13,
1005, and owing to somo causes over
which ho had no control and others
over which ho did havo control, ho
was not tried until tho month of
Jnnunry lii this year a period of
fenso was murder.
"All the foregoing considerations
woro In my mind at the time of Mr.
Hermann's trial last January, but I
believed that he was entitled to have
n trial which might bo a vindication
If his guilt was not shown by tho
evidence, becnuso ho had occupied
high pifbllc office and had been hon
ored during a long period of years
by tho people of this stnto. More
over I believed that tho people of
uus sinic anu of this nntlon woro
ontltled to know what tho evidence
was which Induced a grand Jury
composed of Oregon citizens to re
turn an lndlctmont ngaliiBt n man
who was occupying high public ofllco
at tho time. Then, again. 1 had
heard tho testimony of tho'so wit
nesses who nppeared ucforo tho
grand Jury at tho tlmo of Mr. Her
mann's Indictment, when tho facts
about which they wero testifying
woro fresh In their respectlvo minds,
nnd I bclelvcd that tho ovldenco Jus
tified his Indictment nnd would lus-
tlfy his conviction.
Iteti'llMitlon Not Intended.
"I still so believe, and I further
believe that tho 11 Jurors who are
reported to have voted for his con
viction upon tho trial which occurro I
In January of this year woro fully
Justified by tho evidence which was
produced at tho trial In voting as
they did.
"Mr. Hormann Is n man of qulto
advanced years, howover another
year has elapsed slnco his trial ono
of tho Government's most Important
witnesses Is out of tho country and
abovo nil, I am convinced that tin

A MEMORABLE
WATGHMEETING
NEW YEAR'S EVE came right
In tho middle of a series of
"protracted meetings" which
had been started in n little
church In the northern part of Indiana
some twouty-tlvo years ngo. The
faithful few bad been gathering night
after night for u month, nnd uot more
than a dozen persons had knelt nt the
mourners' bench. Including tho chron
ic backsliders. When tho opening

been taken, and a dohso crowd of boys
nnd young men occupied tho space be

seats.
As tho hours slipped My and tho end
of the old year uppronched tho sorvlco

preacher nroso to make one Inst su
premo effort to reclaim some soul from
cternnl tornieuL At his direction the
most zealous members of tho congrega
tion left their seats und mingled with
mo nuuioncc. looking for n cbanco con
vert. It wns nt this critical moment thnt
nn unlooked for Interruption disturbed
tho passing of tho old yenr nnd marred
tho pcacufulncss of tho meeting. Dcu.
cons Wiley and Mills bnd been so bold
ns to npproacb thot codless crowd
around tho door nnd suggest that there
was too much laughing nnd tnlklng.
They had even dared to tell two or
tlirco of the lending spirits thnt a fall
uro to prcsnrvo order meant ejectment
from the church. The sound of loud'
talking suddouly reached the ear of
tho worshipers, nnd all heuds turned
toward the door. Loud curses nnd
nngry words, uplifted lists and stamp
ing feet told that u tierce struggle was
taking pluco. Out of the tangled mnss
presently enmo Deacons Wiley nnd
Mills, each In triumphant possession of
a panting, disheveled. lighting prlsoii
cr. Tho culprits were the sous of
tholr captors, and against all their
kicking nnd squirming they were
forced slowly along thV aisles on each
sldp of the church to the mourners'
bench, fighting every Inch of the way.
"Get down on your knees, darn your
picture!" commanded Deacon Wiley,
selzlni; his son by tho hIkiiiIiImi-m nmi
allowing his Indignation to gain the
mastery, "Qet down on your knees or
ru sKin you nllvo when I get you
homol"
"Keep your seats, brethren and sis
ters," exclaimed Itev, Ebeneier liar
kyr. "This young mau Is sorry for
whnt he has done, und wo may yet
save him from the wrath to come."
There wns n suppressed titter from
those who took tho preacher literally.
Sura Wiley, tho wildest scamp that
over robbed n wntermclon patch, look
ed nt his futher's stern, unyielding
iuco ana reit tue grip tighten on his
shoulders, no cast a furtive glanco
townrd the women's "nmen" corner nnd
snw his mother's eyes filled with tears.
Ho turned to his right nnd saw his
companion in misery. "Dlddy" Mills,
crying llko u baby Just for a moment
bo stiffened with prldo. and then ho felt
his father's strong arms forcing him
down on his knees. At the sumo tlmo
"Dlddy" .Mills wenf down under the
pressuro on his shoulders.
"Who will bo tho nost to como for
ward?" shouted Itev. Ebeuezer Harkcr,
dauclng back and forth before tho pul
pit with a Joy ho could not conceal.
Tho Lord bless these young men who
havo seen tho error of their ways. Lot
us all unite In pniyer"
Everybody pruyed. Deacon Wiley
leauing tne low, murmuring chorus
with n fervent entrentv to h! mum m
forego the wickedness of tho world and
unite with tho church. When Deacon
Wiley ceased Deacon Mills began to
pray uloud for his wayward boy. it
was very funny to tho crowd around
tho door, hut after awhile something
seemed to choke their laughter. Sister
Mills' high pitched and quuverlng volco
nroso In prayer, und there was n pathos
In her appeal that started tears Into
tho eyes of tho roughest rowdy In the
crowu. Mster Wiley, unable to restrain
her emotions, Joined her cries with
thoso of Sister Mills. Suddenly a wave
of Increased excitement swept through
tho congregation. Two of tho tough
est young men of tho town wnikori
slowly down the aisles nnd knelt nt tho
low railing. They wero hardly down
when two more enmo forward.
8uch a revival wns never known be
fore in the hUtonr of the church na thn
one which started with the wntch meet
ing that night. Rev. Ebenezer Barker
said to himself that it was due to bis
pQwers as an exborter. Two mothers
believed In their hearts that the effica
cy of prayer bad been demonstrated in
a wonderful manner, But suppose
those muscular fathers bad remained

The Doctor's Bad Memory.
This story Is told of Dr. Plrrie, the
great Scottish surgeon. In "Recollec
tions or Firty Years:"
"Onco when a lady patient eatered
his consulting room be received her
with effusion, crying:
" 'My dear madam, I have done noth
ing visa but think over your case. I
could uot get n wink of sleep all last
night for thinking of you!'
Tho lady accepted it nil as 'gospel
truth,' nnd after somo professional
questions nnd nnrfwers she Innocently
remarked:
"'Was it not a dreadful thunder
storm last night. Dr. PlrrleT
"'So I am told,' ho naively an
swered, 'but I'm such a sound sleeper
that I dldnn hear n clap o'tl' " ,
Tottl'a Thanks.
Slgnor Francisco Tost!, tho famous
song writer. Is very Impulsive and
quick to resist tho slightest nssump
tlon of patronage. Ono dny a lady
called on him and announced her In
tention of singing two of his songs at
n concert.
"I thought I would Just run round
and try them over wltn you." she said.
Tostl remarked that bo was not in
tho habit of giving lessons In that man
ner, whereupon tho lady retorted:
"Very well; I will not sing your
songs then."
Tostl's face beamed as bo ndvnnced
townrd her with outstretched hnnds.
"Mndnm." ho said, "I thank you very
much for that favor."
