An amusing eireumttanet occurred
few day ago at the ' Hume Dilll
where one of the laborers, an Italian,
sunerea an injury to ma root, cvr-r
which a heavy truck waa draw:). The
man went limping Into the offlc and
to Store Keeper Badollet relate that
hla Angers had been badly hurt. Mr
Badollet eyed the tn&n'a hands, but
could aee nothing wrong- with them, ao,
holding' up the hands of the man for
inspection, the, etore keeper told him
he waa mistaken. The man became
somewhat excited to explain that he
meant "hla other lingers," pointing to
hia feeU Mr. Badollet eeht hlnj to Mn
Hume, who occassional ly, in emergency
cases, attends to injured men, and the
following day the man called In at the
office to tell Mr. Badollet hla fingers
were getting along pretty well, Jut
that hla thumb waa still quite abre.
PolUIca has again become an Inter-
eating topic in Oregon, especially in
view of the uir approach of the coun
ty election. Multnomah 1 as usual,
th hotbed of all that la said and done,
and the outaotne of the primaries there
will practically decide the question of
aupremacy. Ia Clatsop little Interest
la being ahown In the situation lo
cally, for the reason that both parties
are quite well satisfied to keep a United
States senator at Washington. Indeed,
a prominent member of the cltlaen or
ganlsatton expresses the opinion that
republican , legislative candidates will
be decided upon -.by the two county
committees, with the understanding
that they ahall pursue a certain course
o far as locat matters are concerned,
and take such action In the matter of
the election of a senator aa will best
subserve the Interests of Senator Ful
ton.- ' ;'.iis v. !
Senator Mitchell's present term ex
pires In 1907, and the legislature which
meets In the early spring of that year
will choose hla successor. If Mr.
Mitchell's health la good, and there la
no reason at present to Indicate that
It will be otherwise, he will doubtless
be re-elected. While the election la
three years oft, the coming county elec
tions will have material bearing on the
1907 altuation, not only because state
senators will be chosen for four years,
and will, therefore, have a voice In the
selection of Senator Mitchell's succes
sor, but also because the elections will
denote the direction of the political
breeae.j 4
Senator Simon announces emphatic
ally that h la out of the race 4 hot
he baa no further ionglng to represent
Oregon In the upper branch of cong
rasa. ' He aerved one term at Wash
Ington, and the experience waa not
pleasant one. "Under no circumstanc
es," aaya the former aenator, "will
be a candidate for Senator Mitchell's
place, nor do I anticipate that I ever
again will seek the honor at the hands
of my party here In Oregon. I am
out of the senatorial contest for all
time." ' ,-. . ; . r '.
The question of national politics en
tors largely Into local altuallone this
year, for the well known reason that
there are some republicans who da not
favor the nomination of President
Roosevelt. , Senator Simon's past ut
terances have only too plainly denoted
that he doea not bear for the presi
dent the friendliest feeling, and there
la a lurking suspicion he may carry
the primaries and aend a delegation to
Chicago which will oppose Mr. Roose
velt's aspirations. Many other repub
licans who admire the president have
greater admiration for Senator Han
Da, whose name. It Is believed generally
Will certainly be sprung at the convent
Ion. The Simon followera have been
strong in the past and might, with the
aid of the Hanna republicans, control
the primaries and dictate the personnel
of the national delegation. For this
reason the republican city and county
central committee of Multnomah -recently
urged, in an addresa to the pub
lic, the re-election of Senator Mitchell,
evidently being of the belief that the
Interests of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.
Mitchell are Identical . The committee
holds that the return to power of Mr.
Simon will be a direct blow at the administration.
As to this Mr. Simon has little to
say, except to reiterate the atatement
recently made by him that he la not
making any fight on the president. He
saps he Is being misrepresented and
refers t othe committee's addresa as a
lot of absurdities. That the former
senator Is preparing for war, however,
Is evident from the vigorous manner
In which he attacks the admlnlsta-
tlon of the Mitchell offlciala of the
county, and It seems quite probable the
primaries will be bard fought as
waa the case two years ago,
"Behind it ,all Ilea the political for
tunes of another man," aald an As
ian yesterday, .;, The " gentleman In
question keeps close tag on Oregon po'l
Itics. "Tnti dark jhorae Is being
groomed as Senator Mitchell's oppon
ent, and It ia whispered be will have
the aupport of tbaOregonlan,' which
seems anxious at all times to lend aid
and encouragement to the enemy by
parading hla claims before the public.

preparatory to starting home. Arm

strong then turned the revolver toward
himself and fired one shot, the bullet
faxing hla forehead and stunning him
slightly. Mlsa Ensmlnger died the fol
lowing morning. Armstrong ,waa con
vlcted of murder and sentenced to bo
hanged under a law the nln existence
which provided that hanginga should be
conducted by the sheriff of the county
where the crime had been committed,
nue unuer tbia aentence a stay of
execution was granted by the state
supreme court, pending a hearing of the
case oa appeal. Btfore the case was
determined a new law went Into effect4
provided that all hanginga should take
place at the penitentiary and be con
ducted by the warden. ' '
At the recent special session of the
legislature a law was passed amend
atory to the hew law which had failed
provide for the hanging pi- con
demr.ed murderera sentenced under the
old taw but not executed prior to the
time that It passed out of existence
Armstrong's attorneys contended that
the court, having sentenced the murd
erer to be hanged by an official who
had thereafter v lost hla authority, It
could 'not review lta own decision and
pass a new sentence; also that the set
of the legislature amending the new
law waa ex post facto and unconsti
tutional, and that there waa no on
vested with authority to execute the
condemned man. Thla . point waa
thrashed out In all the state court, the
decision Jn, every Instance being. ad
verse to Armstrong. Application , was
then made to the United States dis
trict court for relief on -the same
grounds. ' The federal court ruled that
a law to be ex post facto must affect
the degree of punishment and that a
failure to provide a means for carry
Ing out the sentence did not alter the
nature of the old law nor affect the
right of the condemned man one way
nor the other,, On Wednesday, the
state supreme court denied a motion for
Yesterday, the supreme court render
ed the opinion that the death warrant
waa valid and the law waa allowed to
