A gen." tlemani named. aCeWs'if urnished the- sob iect, -and bade farewell to the world and its' worldly troubles in a somewhat spec tacular manner. Kerr hailed from Mis souri, and was probably bated from there. He was built on llnee of length, rather than on those of beauty, and was four Inches to the good on a six-foot measure. ' The crime for which he was hanged was the murder of two young immi grants, who bad Just crossed the plains from Michigan, ,.on .Wisconsin. Kerr, pretendlng.be owned a ranch back of town, hired one of the young' fellows, took him about a half mile out In the sage brush, and killed him. He got 40 cents for the Job; -went down" town, spent-the money for drink arid then hunted up fcis victim's partner. He took him to where ffis body of his recent vlC' tlm lay, and shot him. This time he got a trifle over a dollar, the young fellows having struck the town practically .broke. . . ,,:;,. Kerr was arrested, taken before Judge Cradlebough for trial, . and ' convicted, The jury brought In Its verdict Wednes day afternoon, and Kerr was sentenced to.be hanged next day, between the hours of 10 and 11 A gallows was has tily constructed near the scene of the murdek and at 10:30 Thursday morning Kerr mounted the Platform, Keirr was long, the rope ,; was unatretched, and when be dropped, his feci struck the ground.

Mr. Dooley, writing of tho "MJlllon. aire's toll," says:, "Wurruk Is wurruk. if ye're paid to do it, an it's pleasure U ye pay to be allowed to do it" There Is decidedly more solid thought than good .English in that sentence.

In Pendleton, the local association of retail ; clerks are "making efforts to ea tabllsh early closing as a permanent . thing. They are succeeding, too, for they ire proceeding along sensible lines. They went at the work-In a spirit of friendii aess towards their employers, and asked sothlng that was not within tnVlimits of reason. , The PenSIeTSn-Cjerks did not ask revolu Oonarir measures, but adjusted their de- tag In mind all of the time the interests ? vt the owners of the stores. C" This sort of labor work is calculated to strengthen the labor union in the public estimation, (It appeal to people Ki a Just move,' And has no element of unreason ableness In It . .. Regarding the requests of the cle-k for early closing, few will fiu to admit the justloe of their position. No class of employes work longer hours, nor nerform duties more exacting. They are required to be in doors all Of the time, and have bo opportunity to get out into the fresh air, excepting on Sunday, which Is theirs anyway. , .( r Ko person can bo healthy who remains behind A counter from ? o'clock in te. morning untujg "o'clock it jiight It is a Ufa of slavery, and holds little of cheer for the one who is compelled to submit to uch a regime.

The Interior Department has deter mined to put forth efforts to stop forest fires on the Faclflo coast. The effort is timely. It has been needed for some time.- i Vast areas of timber lands ar annually devastated by fires, and tho' resources of tho' Pacific Coast are being reduced, by Just J that : much. Every cltlsen ' should co-operate with the Interior Department to Us commendable efforts. r There" havo been some .who attributed to' carelessness the setting of fires by locomotives engines. Many fires that raged this season were set by sparks from engines on the various roads, and there has been a disposition to blame the rail road company. - Tho Journal has investigated the sub ject somewhat, and Is quite convinced that the 'raolroad companies have not' been neglectful in this respect. They, in deed, deaho to realhxe conditions that would prevent the setting of fires, desire it more than do ''others. , The one great difficulty under which they labor is the lack lot coal of a kind to render it i feasible "to obviate the pour ing forth of sparks from the ' engines'. There are practical , difficulties that pre vent such perfection in spark arresting as would be -agreeable to the railroad manager;"..,,'"..;.''. As a matter of fact, coal that has the highest percentage Of combustion and therefore the minimum of uncombustlble matter to pour from the stacks is the coal that Is always sought by the rail road because it ' gives the highest quan tity ot power tor a given quantity of fuel. So that it is probably true that the emitting of sparks from engines under the forced drafts that must be turned on If high speed is to bo attained is not due to fault of the railroad, but to limit ation placed by the nature of the coal supply. This is 'but one phase of the question of the setting of forest fires, albeit U is im portant There are others carelessness The late Pierre Lorrlllard said it was i impossible to live like a gentleman for less than $1000 a day. It is hard, bufTJt- erary pursuits seldom permit a man- to squander more than 7E0 per day, or say 15000 a week. , , The detectives in Chicago are adver tising Bartholin as a mooth4haved man.'

Cltlsens of Boston and vicinity, with out ' reference to party relations, have united in this remonstrance against the proposed vast increase of naval expen ditures: .. :-; . ,i To the President , the Secretary of the Navy and the MemmerS of Congress We regret ' to learn that the estimates for the navy for the fiscal years aggre gate nearly 100.000,00e. This Is about five times the amount expended only 10 years ago. The new estimates amount to an average cost of over $8 for every family In the country, . Had this sum applied In education would, support 5000 manual training, schools af nearly $10,000 apiece throughout the United States. We believe- that it is a needless extrav agance to take ror this purpose any thing like 1100,000,000 out of the pockets of the people. We hold that the maintenance of a vast machinery of war is not only a seri ous burden upon the people, but a posi tive menace to the peace of the world, i For more than a hundred years the United States has . bprne the honorable tradition of a nation which had no need of great armaments. We urge all who believe in Justice, good will and' human ity as the great 'safeguards of the Inter ests of the nation, to exert their influ ence to maintain this hwh distinction This petition has the name or Kdwara Everett Hale at the head of It.

The selection brings to mind the fact that most of the members of the court aie Well along in years, and it the President shall, as IS generally expeoted, serve a second term, It seems likely that with one,' or possibly two. exceptions, he will absolutely reconstitute the personnel of the supreme bench. . . it is worthy of onte that there Is not a single living member of the court which participated in the extra-judicial proceedincs of th.

Tou see, it is a good advertising ieaiure. it gives the clgarmakers a Dres tlge which Jthey, cannot get in any other way. King Edward of England has his cigars, specuuy made. By the 'way, that reminds me of the fact that we fre quently find cigars in this country which are laoeieu with lae English coatrof- arms, just as ne cigars are labeled which are made especially for his maiestv the King of England. Of course they tne nqt tne same cigar. It Is simply, a catch system. All the cigars that are made for crowned heads by Cuban man ufacturera are bought by the men they are maae lor, and scrupulous care la ex ercised In the matter. The only men who ever get any of these cigars either get xnem on oroers from oyal personages, or tney get them as guests of the royalty. A particular f kind of tobacco is used In tne manufacture or these cigars. Take the case, for Instance, of the Csar of Russia. Cigars that are made for him are oranaea witn tne Russian coat of arms, and he buys all the cigars the fac tory can make out of the material and in thff-ay specified In his order. .

"The Idol's Eye" was the bill present ed by the Tlvoll Opera Company to a good house last night The production was well handled and the comedy work of Ferris Hartman was clever, indeed.
