SOME WORK
WAS DONE
Four Bills and the Senate Woman's
Suffrage Resolution Passed The
Sugar Beet Bounty Bill Goes
Through Josephi's Medical Bill
is Doomed.
Salem, Feb. 1. In view of the fact
that this day has been set aside as a
sort of a holiday, nearly all the mem
bers of the legislature having gone to
Corvallis to accept the hospitality of the
citizens of that place, both branches
of the legislature held night sessions last
night. In the house four bills were
passed, besides the senate resolution
paving the way to a vote by the people
upon the proposed woman) suffrage
amendment.
The most important bill passed in the
house yesterday was the Sherwin bill,
providing for an annual bounty of $50,
000 for four years for the encouragement
of the sugar beet industry. The bill had
a close call, passing by thirty-one votes,
just enough to carry it through, but the
friends of the bill can thank McCourt
of Marion county that it passed at all.
Had not McCourt changed from no to
aye before the result was announced the
bill would have been defeated for want
of a single vote. His change of heart at
the eleventh hour carried the day for
the bill. '
What fate is in store for. the bill in
t he senate remains to be seen, but its
friends claim they are assured of seven
teen vote?, and if this be true the bill
will only require the signature of the
governor to become a law.
The Josephi medical bill is conceded
to be dead as a maukarel. There have
been a number of physicians here lob
bying in the interest of the bill, but
their words have fallen npon deaf ears.
The members of the house want just
one crack at the'bill. They guarantee
to effectually put it to sleep.
The bill to create a state board of bar
bers' examiners and providing for the
registration of all barbers in the state,
did not have the close shave in the
house that some predicted for it. Al
though Roberts declared that it was a
somewhat "barberous" thing to heap on
the legislature, the bill passed by a vote
of 33 to 23. If it becomes a law all resi
dent barbers will haye to register at $1
per register, and newcomers will have
to undergo an examination to determine
their qualifications. The bill also pro
vides for an apprenticeship of three
years for beginners.
By the provisions of the Curtia bill
passed in the house yesterday, the graft
of attorneys in connection with state
legal work has been shut off. Under the
old system, while the attorney-general
was drawing a salary for attending to
the legal business of the state, more has
been paid private attorneys who have
been nnemployed. The Curtis bill pro
vides that all the legal work of the state
Bhall be done by the attorney-general,
who is paid for such service, and the
practice of employing private attorneys
for the state be abolished.
The bill to regulate eleepingcar rates
was made a special order for Thursday
at 10 :12 a.m. . '
Hill made an eloquent appeal in be
half of his bill to prohibit the mainte
nance of armed bodies of men, and se
cured its passage by an almost unani
mous vote. The bill provides that only
the state shall maintain armed bodies of
ra.

BU Lift Was SsTed.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately bad a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightlul death.
In telling of it he says: "I was taken
with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu
monia. My lungs became hardened. I
was so weak I couldn't even Bit np in
bed. Nothing helped me. I expected
to soon die of consumption, when I
heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.
One bottle gave great relief. I con
tinued to nse it, and now am well and
strong. I cau't say too much in . its
praise." . This marvellous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the world
for all throat and lung trouble. Regular

A P0ST0FFICE
ROBBER CAUGHT
Hilton, Convict Wilson's Confederate,
Arrested at Boise City.
Union, Or., Feb. 1. Word has just
been received of the capture of Jack Hil
ton, who, with Albert Wilson, robbed
the post office at Lakeview, Or., about
two years ago. Wilson was shot at the
time of the robbery, and was captured
shortly afterward and is now serving
time in the Oregon penitentiary.
The circumstances leading to the cap
ture of Hilton are as follows:
Some time ago a warrant for bis arreet
was placed In the hands of D. Y. K.
Deering, sheriff of Union county, who
had been tracing him from place to
plaee from that time until his arrest.
He first located him in Montana, and
from there traced him to Idaho, and
finally located him at Boise City, and
immediately took eteps for his capture
by telephoning to Chief of Police Francis
of that place. Francis arrested him and
turned him over to United States Mar
shal Ramsey, who is now holding him
awaiting the arrival of Marshal Houser,
of Oregon.
Deafness Cannot De Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free."

IMPRISON
MENT FOR LIFE
C. C. Cunningham, Murderer of Oliver
C. Young, Sentenced at Pendleton.
Pendleton, Feb. 1. C. C. Cunning
ham, mnrderer of Oliver C. Young, was
sentenced yesterday by Judge Lowell, in
the state circuit court. Having been
convicted of mnrder in the second degree
he received under the statute a sentence
of imprisonment for life at hard labor.
Cunningham's defense was insanity,
that plea and the testimony adduced by
the witnesses subpoenaed in his bebalf
being effective in reducing the severity
bf the verdict from the first to the second
degree. Strange to say, Cunningham
was the only person who expressed him
self as dissatisfied with the verdict, and
he said aloud in court that he wished it
had been a verdict of guilty as charged
in the indictment. He would then be
hanged, he remarked, and would be out
of all bis troubles. Under the sentence
Cunningham will be taken at once to
the penitentiary at Salem.
Mrs. Juilus J. Worcester, the woman
whom Cunningham shot the same time
he killed Young, lies a helpless cripple,
and will in all probability never again
be able to leave her bed. The bullet re
mains lodged near the spine, anil she is
atncted with paralysis.

DANGER OF TROUBLE

REPARATION WILL
BE MADE SOON
Officials to Be Recalled If Found Guilty
of Treaty Violation Administra
tion at Washington Much Gratified
at This , Concession Which Has
Scarcefy Been Hoped For.
New York, Feb. 1. A special from
Washington says: In reply to the rep
resentations of Ambassador White, Ger
many has assured the United States that
she will investigate tbe conduct of her
agents in Samoa, and should it be shown
that they have acted in violation of the
treaty of Berlin, she wilt recall them.
By this assurance Germany has re
moved the Samoan question from the
dangerous position it occupied. The
authorities here anticipated that Ger
many would decline to accept responsi
bility, from representations recently
made bv Ambassador von Holleben the
German representative here, who in
formed Secretary Hay that he felt sat'
isfied that the German consul and Herr
Rafael had acted without authority from
Berlin.
Secretary Way is quite willing to give
Germany all the necessary time to in
vestigate, and it is expected that by this
time she has taken action. That there
may be no doubt of tbe facts and to pro
tect the American representatives, Rear
Admiral Kautz, who left San Diego on
board the Philadelphia, will make a
thorough investigation, and report the
tacts without delay.
The state department has received
from Apia by mail copies of proclama
tions issued by the American and British
consuls for the protection of Chief
Justice Chambers and his family. A
proclamation by tbe German consul is
conspicuously absent, and the reason it
was not issued is explained by dispatches
sent by Mr. Chambers.
The German consul, it was reported,
promised to hoist his flag oyer his resi
dence simultaneously with the American
and British representatives, and issue a
proclamation declaring that an attack on
the chief justice would be an attack on
the German flag, but sent to the chief
justice a tattered emblem which he re
quested bim to hoist. He failed to issue
the proclamation- and did not come to
the chief justice's residence for the pur
pose of witnessing the hoisting of the
flag. - In view of these facts, the flag was
returned to him. '
The reports of the chief justice also
contain a statement of tbe trial of Ma-
taafa vereus Malietoa, tbe former being
represented Dy a German naval officer
named Van Buelow, who is said to be in
Samoa on leave. Unfortunately the
steamer which carried the mail to Aus
tralia left before December 31, and con
sequently the departments has not re
ceived the chief justice's decision, which
by cable, has been announced to be in
favor of Malietoa Tanus.
