Three courses are open to a. woman after Jier heart has been broken by the perfidy of man that Is, If one takes the same view as does Attorney John M. Gearln. Mr. Gearln, , who Is counsel for James I Heryfopd from whon Birdie N. McCarty seeks to obtain $70,000 for breach': of promise, " argued against Uhotnas O'Day In the United States cir cuit .court this morning In a demurrer to the amended answer, and It was dur ing the course of his remarks that the former said:.- . -. : "The breach of a marriage contract leaves three courses open to the Injured person. The flint -and perhaps the bet ter, one Is that she may , say, 'You have , .wronged me and now refuse to make me .your. wife. Go, I am glad to. be lid of such rubbish.' , The second is, Tfou have ." broken .--my heart ' and - only 4 gold -can mend it. Give to me cash until my wounded . feelings are forgotten.' - The last is provided the man changes his . mind and agrees a second time to marry her--I will take you for better or for worse,' and thereafter peace reigns." , The main defense set forth in the amended answer is that Birdie McCarty expressed a willingness to marry Hery ford after he is alleged to have refused to live up to his contract and that after the case was brought up In open court and the defendant signified his Inten tion of taking the woman: to be Mrs. Heryford she refused. Judge O'Day held this to constitute no defenses nd the court inclined 'to his belief, admitting that such an act would aerve only to mitigate the circumstances and could not serve as an absolute de fense, but he finally overruled the de murrer. The suit is to be tried in the federal court "for the second time at the next session of the- petit Jury. Last June 'Miss McCarty secured a verdict for $25, .000 damages, but Judge Bellinger set it aside and ordered a new trial. Hery ford is a prominent cattle man of Southern Oregon and the plaintiff was at one time a. school teacher and met Heryford while Instructing tae young.

'. t' - (Journal Special Service.) -.'.; - Vancouver, Wash., - Feb.- 2.-i-Judging from the appearance of things, there la perhaps no man In the Nineteenth In fantry more dearly loved by both officers and men than Chaplain S. 7. Smith,. The exertions that have the last week been put fprth by the soldiers in the prepara tions for .making the lecture to be given by the chaplain tonight a success, illus trates -a devotion that any leader in the army would cherish. This genuine love and attachment' o tbe". men" for "their chaplain is accounted for in the praises that are freely given by them wherein each man that has 'been through the Philippine war ' with the chaplain ' has some personal encounter to ha remem bered. ;;V'V..!";,:.A';' ;S-'J " The " Nineteenth $ Infantry J" men saw some severe 'service In the Philippines and in all the campaigns the chaplain was not only ardent In ' his ' religious work, but all the while aiding the men whenever he happened to find" them in difficult or dangerous positions,. It was 3 .'.V CHAPLAIN S. J. SMITH. through his ceaseless watchfulness that the Filipinos dreaded the appearance of the chaplain If they were caught In an attempt to take - advantage - of - some straggling or lone soldier. It was a noted fact among the American troops that if any soldier was caught out alone the native civil officers In the Philippines would accept the slightest pretext to use them with unwarranted harshness. t Brutal Actions. Should a man be caught by the native police out late at night and he had no assistance near at hand, it , was no un common occurrence for the native police to seise the unfortunate man and club him severely. It is said that the chap lain was not long In learning this state of affairs,' and having the welfare of the men at heart, took upon himself the duty of looking after these stragglers, and the several encounters he had with the police In preventing bloodthirsty at tacks on the boys In blue, caused him to be feared by these would-be assailants. In support' of these claims made by the privates, Major J. A. Watrous. U. 8. A., In the Manila Times, makes mention of a similar circumstance. . A Xosaaatio Story. "Late one night," writes the major, "soon after the chaplain's arrival in the Philippines, while returning to his lodg ings he was joined by the chaplain. On the road they met three so)dlers yho were very weary. One was so weary that he fell by the wayside, and his com rades were too weary to help him up, and seeing the two officers, passed out of sight as quickly as possible. After pas sing a few steps beyond the prostrate soldier, the chaplain sajd, 'I cannot go to bed and leave the poor boy there.' 'Oh,' replied the major, 'he Is comfortable; he will sleep until morning; let him rest,' an assertion that the major states he has always since disapproved!.' Mr. Smith re turned to the poor fellow, knelt by his side, and worked with him until the sol dier opened his eyes. The soldier's first request was not to be left there, and the chaplain did not leave him, but remained with him until he was sober enough to walk home, which was 2 o'clock in the morning. This man, as well as a large number of his comrades have since be come total abstainers thus not only saving the man from a possible fiendish assault by native police, but curing him of a growing curse." In the chaplain's letter tonight many of these scenes as well as various battles in which the Nineteenth participated will be illustrated ; ONE OF THE BEST SEASONS EXPECTED (Journal Special SerTlee.) Baker City. Or.. Feb. 2. That there are some good things left In Eastern Oregon, . and that - there . are Eastern capitalists who believe In Eastern Ore gon has been thoroughly demonstrated during the past few days by the arrival here of C. S. Stanley of the firm of Vos berg, Stanley & Cornwell, Cadillac, Mich., who has associated himself with Mr. T. M. Anderson of California in the purchase . of the Uncle Sanv -group, of quarts claims on First creek in Mal heur county. Mr. Stanley returned to Baker City yesterday with Mr. Ander son from the mine and when Inter viewed by a Democrat man said: 'This Is my first Visit to this part of the west. Mr. Anderson, my partner. Is an old mining man and is thoroughly familiar with this country. The Uncle Sam group consists of 10 full claims and a fraction, situated four miles east of the city of Malheur, and to all ap pearances . Is an ideal proposition at least I am satisfied, with my investment "On the le'cllams there .has been S33 feet of - development work done by half a doien different shafts on the different claims. So far as-opened tbe ore ledges or veins average five feet in width In a granite and porphyry formation. The ore is free milling and averages from samples taken and assay made clear through the property $20 to the ton. We have assays from $70 to $156 to the ton and picked samples go up into the thou sands.. Will Begin Developments. "We will begin development of the property on a large scale at once and as soon as the weather opens will begin the erection of a 20-stamp mill on the ground,, which we exject to have in op eration before next October. We will Incorporate he property within the nfxt few weeks, but it will be a close comer atlon and no stock will be put on the market, althougk a number have applied tor an opportunity to invest. , 1 There is every reason to believe that the season of lt04 will' be one of the greatest and most prosperous mining seasons in the history of Eastern Ore gon. It Is known that, two or three of the most prominent mining men Inter ested in Eastern Oregon will . return from the East in the next few days and that they have a dosen large deals par tlally, consummated which they expect to close, at once. This will, mean the circulation, of, , considerable, aionty. in Baker City and the establishment of more machinery and'reductlon plants in the Greenhorn and Cracker creek, dis tricts.. There, can be little doubt but that many other transfers of property will be made and that many prospects will b. put-on. the dividend paylnKJLhit before snow files next winter.' . . The Oregon Sc.. Wisconsin Lumber com pany. Manager Warren, which is ar ranging to establish, in Baker City a sawmill and general lumbering and plan ing mill plant, ha Just about completed all its plans and has the machinery contracted, for," which' will be erected, in the immediate future. The plant will have a capacity of 40,000 feet a day. It will be located on the O. R. & N. tracks near the Sumpter valley line, hav ing access to both by v switches. The company owns large bodies jot timber, and Friday General Freight and Passen ger Agent Barton of . the Sumpter val ley road made . a 'survey for its spur from that line to run up Stlce's gulch to bring out the logs for the new con cern. . It Is expected that the new plant will be in operation in tne eany sum mer and the Eastern capitalists behind the - enterprise promise to enlarge their business here as well as to Interest oth ers In this territory. , . . ' Heaviest In History." ' : Yesterday closed the business for tbe month in - the county clerk's and re corder's offices. Both Clerk Combs and Recorder Henry report "the heaviest bus iness in the history of those two offices Withlntwo or three years past. The receipts of the clerk's office footed up nearly $906 for the month of , January,- belngf made up -of miscellaneous, $27.95; recording brands, $1; marriage licenses. $33; County court, $5; probate court, $30; circuit court, $789.60, mak ing a total tor the month of $887.45. Recorder Henry reports receipts for his office for January at $690, the larg est month's business during the two years In which he has held office. Speaking or the matter .Mr. Menry saiu that he thought the large Increase was partially due to the great Increase In mining business necessitating the re cording of claims, etc., the recent rush In Baker City property ana the putting In -effect ' the newt law which raises the fee for the recording of documents 150 per cent. AT THE THEATRES "TKB FATAL WSBBXXO." "The Fatal Wedding," a well - known melodrama by Theodore Ksemer, opened at the Marquam Grand theatre last night, and will be repeated this even ing. The production is at populur prices. Incidentally, the heroine takes a handover-hand Journey along a rope which crosses a deep chasm. A number of people 'did their very beat to spoil the performance last night. They .insisted on laughing uproariously at serious mo ments and grew sad over the comedy. This minority applauded not wisely but too well, and when the famishing mother fainted in her attic tenement there was wild delight because she came near missing the bed In tumbling backward. Also when the little girl attempted to put salt in a pot of potatoes and spilled some on the stove at a highly emotional point the unregenerate burst into a lit of uproarious laughter. Claire Grenvllle . carries away the honor In, the acting line as Cora Wil liams, the adventuress. Mary t. lay lor was pleasing as Mabel Wilson, and little Gussie Shires made an Impres sion as the little mother. The charac ter comedy Is introduced by Tony Asher as Toto, and Dessie Ryan as Bridget the Irish cook. ABOABX'B XTBW SXX.L. One Of the top-liners on the Arcade's new bill this week is Raymond in feats of magic HI most startling trick is where he handcuffs a womp'i, places her In a trunk and, after 1 :-,ng and tying It with a rope, sets it under a screen. In a moment the woman steps out and Raymond himself is found in the posi tion occupied formerly by her. Lester and Lester introduce a comedy turn that Is thoroughly enjoyable, and Jessie Moore sings a new Illustrated song, "You're as Welcome, as the Flowers in May." Stoddard and Leslie sing and dance pleasingly and Miss Leslie has a lovely German comedy turn. Luelle Cross makes a hit in character songs and Imitations. The bill close with the bioscope and new pictures. 20BTXAV9 ACTBXSS WEDI.

This, case developed early in the month and . was immediately quaran tined, has recovered end we do not ex pect any further spread of the disease. The case of smallpox reported last month has recovered. "We-.have transferrW 1 of the Alas kan patient to the sanitarium at Portland,- and expect to transfer those re maining during the present month. "The farm work -for the, month has consisted of hauling, grading, ditching, plowing, repairing fences and gathering vegetables. The - mechanical depart ments are working on the lavatories and general repairs." . The number of patients are: Male, 975; female, 411; Total, 1.386. The report of the average expenses shows: Per capita monthly, $10.19 9-10; per capita daily, $0.32 9-10. The cost of supplies for the depart ments is $7,837.20.- Beform Sohool Report. The reports of the reform, school, the blind school and the mute school were also filed and received yesterday.

They are: Charles Daniels, who escaped April 13, 1902, returned J.anuary 21, 1904; and John Goodell, es caped August 27, 1903, returned January 27, 1904, Open Office at Condon. D. R. Parker, deputy in Attorney Gen eral Crawford's office, has resigned and gone to Condon, Gilliam county, where he will open a law office in partnership with a. W.' Parman. Mr. 'Parker has been in General Crawford's office for over a year, and was a very efficient as sistant to the attorney general. The vacancy thus occasioned was filled by the appointment of I. H. Van Winkle, a young lawyer of fbis city, who began his duties yesterday. C H. Bonney of Woodburn yesterday began a suit in the Salem justice court against the City of Woodburn for the recovery of $31.52, alleged to be due and owing for a quantity of lumber delivered by plaintiff to the city, and the claim tor which has been rejected. The suit, it is said, will bring up some interesting testimony regarding the manner of con ducting the affairs of that city. TRUTH TOLD ABOUT OREGON NUGGETS (Journal Special Service.) Grants Pass, Or., Feb. 2. A state ment was published in the Portland Telegram a few days ago that a $40 nugget brought In recently from the Jewell-Hayes mine on Oscar creek was 'fhebiggest nugget that had been pro duced in the county. This statement is so far from the truth that it Is difficult to imagine how it came to get Into print. Nuggets of this size and larger are no rarity in this county and excite little comment when found. There is not a coarse gold creek in the county where bigger pieces than this have not been found. Oscar creek itself is quite famous for its heavy gold, and the $40 nuggets it has produced might rather be numbered In scores. The biggest nugget ever taken out in this county came from Althouse. It was found in the early days and old miners place Its value at somewhere near $3,000. This stream and Its tributaries have produced many pieces that would make a $40 chunk look small. Years ago, Daniel Miller took out of Miller creek, on Missouri Flat, a piece that weighed very nearly $400. A num ber of other large nuggets have been found in this creek. Oscar creek seems to have "tbe record for continuous production of heavy gold. The largest piece taken from this stream weighed over $400, but contained some quarts. It minted about $360. This ereek in recent years produced a $20 piece, a $125 piece and a number of the value of $100 and over. Gallce creek has produced a $300 piece and several which weighed $100 and over.. In 1900 Harmon & Green took out a $58 nugget and the following year one which weighed $46. Silver creek has produced a number of $100 pieces, and in 1901 Cobel & Henson took out a $110 nugget on that stream. Red Dog Is credited with at least one $100 piece, and so Is Bummer gulch of the Upper Jump-off-Joe country. In 1901 K. J. Kubll took from a small tributary of Applegate, on the opposite side from Oscar creek, a $125 nugget, nearly five inches long. Years ago a $46 piece was taken from Louse creek on the ground afterward known as the "China diggings." In 1901 a $60 nugget was brought from Up per Chetco. Josephine and Canyon creeks, Sucker creek and Its tributaries, the Dry Dig gings, Powell's creek and other tribu taries of Williams creek, the tributa ries of Grave and Wolf creeks and, in fact, creeks and gulches In nearly every portion of the county, have produced pieces of more than $40 value. The streams of Jackson county also have good records for nuggets, and Southern Oregon, as a producer of ''big gold," Is Inferior to very few districts in tho world. Ed. F. Terry, superintendent of tha Galtce Consolidated Mines, company, op erating on Gallce creek, has Just com pleted the work of constructing a hy draulic derrick, which has been in stalled on the company's lower work ings on that stream. This derrick Is Mr. Terry's own contrivance, and is the most practicable and successful water power derrick In existence, and Is prob ably destined to have a wide use in placer workings where the ground is heavy. A hose taps the pipe line near the giant and (conveys to the derrick the water under pressure which furnishes the power. The length of the hose admits of moving the derrick over a considerable territory, while the pipo line may remain stationary. . Last year a derrick of this pattern was installed In th upper workings and proved a thorough success.. Mr. Terry has some very handsome specimens of coarse gold taken from the upper working. Tlw gold of the lower ground Is finer In slse. but tne yield' at.both mines is fully equal to the best expectations of th opera Aonk; :u ;. : . ,..f v. . - V i .Vw -v-' EUGENE JTOTICB.

The money will be used to buy pictures and statuary to adorn the school rooms. Bop Bale at Eugene. There have been a number of hop sales here the last few days.

MYSTERIOUS BABY CAUSES SUSPICION (Journal Special Service.) Albany, Or., Feb. 2. A mysterious baby appeared at the house of George H. Kclley. 716 East Tenth street, Sun day afternoon, but only the Inmates of the house knew of its arrival until yes terday. The family consists of Mr. Keliey, who Is employed In tbe Cor vallls and Eastern Railroad freight house; Mrs. Myrtle Goodman, who Is said to be the daughter of Keliey, and a small daughter of the woman, perhaps eight years old Yesterday a neighbor woman was called to the Keliey house and was told by Mrs. Goodman that a strange woman had visited her home on Sundey afternoon and left a baby girl. Tho Infant, she claimed, was born In a private house In this city, but the moth er had recently arrived from Ashland, where she was the daughter of well to do people. Mrs. Goodman accepted the gift without even asking any par ticulars concerning the parties and says she will keep the unfortunate waif. Ugly rumors were In circulation during the afternoon, and the house was visited by Chief of Police McCialn, Mayor Davis and Councilman Daunals, who comprise the health board, but Mr. Goodman maintained that she obtained possession of the child In the way described. The case will be fully investigated by the authorities, as a mystery surrounds the entire event Diligent inquiry has failed to locate any parties from Ashland. who have recentlj arrived in the city. Young Xoboes Bent Home. Tho three boys arrested Saturday night were taken before County Judge Palmer yentterday, and after due con sideration it was thought best to semi the young hoboes to their homes. Trana portation was provided them and they were started homeward today. Two live in Seattle, while the third is a resident of Salem. The court did not feel Justi fied in sending them to the reform school, as they were not guilty of any crimes and as the railroad fare would be small, concluded to give them a chance to again partake of parental care.

If you have any doubt on this point kindly read the following letter from one who knows that the claims regarding the merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by facts.
