THE LAGGARD LAW.
"Kelsjiv Porter was hanged at
j
UnioD, in this state, yesterday for
the murder of an old man named
Berjjamin Mache, his wife and son.
There was no doubt as to who did
the killing, Porter surrendering him
self to the sheriff and telling him his
story ot the crime:' Porter claimed
that he acted in self-defense, that the
son, Ben Mache, had commenced
shooting at him, and that he only
shot to Drotect ' himself. Whether or
not there was any truth in this state
ment, it was evident that when he
hnt the old DeoDle. who were in a
sled, their backs were toward. him.
The case was tried in February, 189G,
and Porter found guilty. His attor
neys appealed to the supreme court,
and the decision of the lbwer court
was sustained.
We of Oregon are prone to give
California a rub occasionally on ac
count of her slackness in punishing
criminals, and in doing so the Dur
r&nt case is .most often commented
upon. Arc we really in any way
ahead of our southern neighbor?
Durrant has been much in evidence
for two years and a half, and the de
lay in inflicting punishment on him
is a cause of public clamor. In his
case there has been an abiindanfce of
money, and every delay, every de
vice that human ingenuity could
coDjure up has been brought into
plav. Yet Durrani's case, has not
been much longer delayed than
Porter s. "' ' '
Public sentiment about Union
seemed to be somewhat in Porter's
favor, though why, it would be hard
to say, and a strong effort was made
to procure a commutation of his sen
tence through Governor Lord. The
latter found no sufficient reason for
interfering, and so the law took its
couise, and as cold-blooded a mur
derer as even Durrant himself was
swung into eternity nearly two years
afier the commission of the murder.
As at present arranged the com
mittee . of Portland's business men
now making the tour of the Inland
Empire, will stop here Monday after
noon about 3 o'clock. The commit
tee states that no attempt was made
to interview The Dalles citizens be
cause it was Sunday. This is all
right, being better than no excuse,
and we are pleased to state that the
committee has changed its plans so
that instead of passing through The
Dalles Sunday, as was at first intend
ed, their home-coming was put off
one day. We are glad of this, and
we hope our business men will unite
io giving the webfooters a warm wel
come, such an one as The Dalles can
give u it win. Uur interests, or,
for that matter, all Oregon's interests,
are tied up with those of Portland.
btae is the state's best girl, and we
would all like the tailor-made, be
witching little damsel if she would
let us, but we want no flirting. We
want her Jto stand in solid with us,
and when she does she will find in
Eastern Oregon an ardent swain, who
will not only buy her theater tickets,
but put up for the oysters- and such,
- besides.
Love-scorned young man, take
courage. Rejoice and be glad. You
may have run big livery bills, paid
for a theater or two, bought a few
tons of ice cream and - exhausted all
your most patient and charming ar
tifices in a vain attempt to win the
tender regard of your best girl, but
despair not. There yet remains to
you a recourse that is full of promise.
A New York woman, Mrs. Nack, has

to a . jury recently that she never
loved her hero until he choked her,
and declared: he choked her into
loving him. To insure success in

THE GREATEST INVENTOR.
A Drummer Telia a. Story About the
, Wizard of Menlo Park.
A Blue line train was making a blue
streak through the New Jersey air, with
the cowcatcher of the locomotive point
ed toward New York city, and a drum
mer was talking right along ahead of
it as easy as. the bird- flies, saystheNew
York Sun. ' --
"I want to say to you, gentlemen,"
he was saying, "that Thomas Edison
is the greatest inventor in the world,
not only in the quantity of his inven
tions, but in the quality' of them, and
every new thing he turns out he gets a
patent on it before it is dry. Sensible
man is Tom, and a great snap is a pat
ent when the monopoly in it is yours,
gentlemen. I know what I'm talking
about, for I had one once that was a loo
loo, only it wasn't big enough. But
I'm getting away from my tale, as the
dog remarked when he barely got his
hind legs from under the wheels. I was
in Edison's town the other day and
heard a new story on him. New to me,
anyhow. Man over there that I sell
goods to, and won't lie except when the
fishing season is on, told me, as an illus
tration of how absorbed Edison is in his
business, that one day Mrs. Edison came
to her husband in great glee and an
nounced that the baby had a tooth. '
" 'Very' well, my dear," replied her
husband, never stopping a minute from
his work. 'I haven't got time to bother
with your affairs. You just run along
and get a patent on it and have ' it
charged to my account.' "

The rich men who build hospitals are
not the only benevolent ones. The shoe
black of whom Dr. Talmage tells this
story showed a spirit of sweet un
selfishness: ' , . '
A reporter sat down on one of the
city hall benches and whistled to one of
the shiners. The boy came up to his
work ' provokingly slow, and had just
begun, when a larger boy shoved him
aside and began the work, and the re
porter reproved him as being, a bully,
and the boy replied: - 'Oh, that's all
right. I am going to do it for 'im. You
see, he's been sick in the hospital more'n
a month ; so us boys turn in and give im
a lilt.'
'Do all the boys help him?' asked the.
reporter.
'Yes, sir; when they am t got no
job themselves and Jim gets ones they
turn in and help 'im; for he ain't strong
yet, you see.'
" 'How much percentage does he give
you?' asked the reporter.
"The boy replied: 'I don't keep none
of it. I ain't no such sneak as that.
All the boys give up what they get on
his job. I'd like to catch any feller
sneaking on a sick boy, I would.
"The reporter gave him a 25-cent
piece, and said : 'You keep ten cents for
yourself, and give the rest to Jim.' .
"'Can't do it, sir; it's his customer.
Here; Jim."'
DECAY OF ANIMAL MATTER.
It la Some think More Than a Simple
Chemical Change.
A great 'many .proofs, now more or
less familiar to most people, show quite
clearly that the decay of animal or regr
etable matter is not a simple chemical
change, inevitable in the nature of
things, but a. violent interference with
the natural course on the part of hos
tile organisms, says Longman's Maga
zine. The bacteria, which produce de
composition, are very minute plants,
which grow, like mushrooms or molds,
upon organic matter, and which repro
duce their like with incredible rapidity.
Tyndall showed long ago that the
spores of these plants exist in myriads
in the. air, floating everywhere around
us; that they occupy all crannies and
empty places on the surface ,of the
earth, and that they swarm in their
millions in all ponds and puddles. An
easy way of proving that these spores
alone, and the -plant colonies which
spring from them, are the cause of
putrefaction may be obtained by boil
ing beef tea in a test tube, so as to kill
the bacteria, and then, while the liquid
is still steaming, closing up the mouth
of the tube with a prug of eotton wool,
which admits the air but strains out
the germs of the putrefactive organ
isms. Under these conditions the beef
tea will keep good for years, but if you
remove the plug it will begin at once to
putrefy. : ...
