Cora Boon, tha 15 year old
daughter of II. D. Boon, died
under very peculiar circumstances
at her home hero tins morning.
Aliout fifteen days ago she swal
lowed a brass pin and less than a
week ago she was taken violentlr
ill, since which time she could
keep nothing on ber stomach. She
seemed better yesterday and it
was thought all danger was over,
but she took suddenly worse this
morning and died soon after.
Walter lluckins, who is wanted

OKEUON NICKEL.
Tim (Government is Trying to Tur
chaae Important Land.
I'oKTi.AND, July 7. Negotiations
are pending for the purchase of
the extensive nickel deposit at
Riddles, in Southern Oregon, by
the United States government.
In that vicinity there are about
2,4)0 acres which contain nickel
ore in large quantities. The trict
is owned by ban Francisco heirs,
and the sale of the property is be
ing negotiated by Portland parties.
Xot only the government, but a
heavy mining tirm is trying to
purchase the entire tract. It
would probably be better for Ore
gon and Portland if Uncle Sam is
the purchaser, for it would then
lie worked estensively by a large
force of men.
The nickel is t j be used in con
nection with the armor plating of
war vessels, experiments having
been mail j which demonstrate the
feasibility of its nse.
It will be a grand thing for Ore
gon to furnish from within bet
borders nickel to help make 1 1
armor of government cruisers am'
war vessels.

SPANISH CREOLE!
Iloif They Compare With Their
Americas Slaters.
They present a restful contrast
to '.heir American sisters. While
the American woman labors to
puijh herself socially beyond what
ever position she may have been
placed in, chafes over domestic
occurences, has spasms of despair
over her failure to find a mission,
bemoans her small value as a
factor of the world, the Spanish
woman knows, or at least recog
nises, no social scale. Whether
her friend sells cigars, or is in the
commission business, he is her
s isoi
friend and is endowed with ideal
rank. He is, like hereself, an
exile from the kingdom of "the
what-might-have-been." A laugh
greets the daily mistakes in do
mestic service, which form
the burden of the Amercau
woman's complaint; she has her
mission from her birth to be a
tru friend, wife and mother.
She floats down the rtreum
oi time; the American swims. She
dances through life to the ae-oiii-paniment
of jests and compli
ments; the American march-'
through it to martial music. h"
has no end in view, all thought i
for the present moment; th
American lives to leave an im
press on her tinm. The Spaniard
reaches an end; the Ameiican
a destination ; death .comes after
eace no less than after e'ruggle.
George Elliot said that God
made woman to match the men,
so that it rarely happens that even
in the South the Spanish woman
manias the American m m. The
Spanish woman cannot be taken
too seriously, the American wo
man cannot be taken tooligh'.ly;
a balance of power is struck, and
the nationalities live m-I bv;di
in harmony, separated by a t-l ea n
of deep individuality. Au:.ij It.

MET HIS FATE.
A DESI'KiI A V i: II Ul U'TKK
I't'T (UT UF HIE WAV.
He Attempts to Kill His Wife
He Is Klddletl With Uullt-U
Himself.
San Jose, July 7. This morn
ing at 6 o'clock Manuel Soto inau
gurated a bloody engagement,
which n suited first in the death
of Nicho'as Smith and afterward
of himself. Soto tried to kill his
wife in Monterey counly several
months ago, cutting her terribly
with a knife. She r covered and
came to San Jose, lx; iting on El
dorado street, fo oiled, and has
aince evaded the warrant of ar
rest. This morning he went to
his wife's house and while in the
backyard was seen by Smith, who
lives next door. He warned Mrs.
Soto and she made her escape.
Soto entered the house ar.d tried
to kill one Lapier, whom he
found there, but the shots failed
to take effect. He then went to
the front of the house, but could
not get in because Smith held the
door. Soto then tired a shot
through the panels, which pierced
Smith's heart, killing him in
stantly. The murderer then
marched up JMdorado street with
a pistol in each hand and defied
'he officers to arrest him. O ulcers
tlonaghan and F'dwar.ls ex
changed shots with the murderer,
bo unhurt retreated to a house
irther down the street where he
.iid under a bed. Here he was
found by Officeis Edwards, Mona
ghan and Allen. The former or
Jered Soto to surrender. The
murderer refused and again
opened fire, an I then a tcrri
fusuade ensued, over twenty .
being fired before Soto was killed
His body and that of his victim
are now at the morgue.
Officer Edwards exhpusted his
ammunition and was wounded in
the arm. He then secured a rifle
from a house near by. The officer
shot through a door and partition
under the bed. Soto returned
the fire. He had plenty of ammu
nition. Finally Soto shouted that
he gave up. J le was di ag.'ed from
under the led riddled with
bullets. He died in a few min
utes. The officer's injury is not
severe. Soto was one of the most
desperate characters in the state.
Smith, who was tilled by Soto,
was an inoffensive woodchopper.
He leaves a wife and child.
Shipping Cattle to England,
Ottawa, Ont., July 7. The
minister of marine is preparing
regulations for the shipment of
cattle for England, which will go
into force soon. Cable dispatches
were received from High Commis
sioner Tupper to-day advising the
government to insist on regula
tions which will conform to the
requirements of British importers
and the public, as to the better
treatment of cattle on shipboard
These views will have great weight
with the government, and the new
regulations will provide for larger
space and better accommodation.
This will meet the view s of Cana
dians shippers and British import
ers, but will be strenuously resisted
by the steamship owners.
Italy Trying to Borrow Money.
Berlin, July 7. The Italian
government has already sounded
the leading Berlin bankers on the
subject of a loan to redeem the
country from its present almost
hopeless financial condition. The
response, it is said, has been
favorable. The imperial govern
ment is earnestly desirons to see
Italy put on a sound basis finan
cially in order that Italy may re
main tree from trench temptation.
ELECTROCUTIONS
Four Murderers Meet Instantan
eous Death.
WAS tl'IMUEM I.Y PAINLESS
Tbe Execatica Deolared a Soocesr, That
Mnchtba Witaesiei Ditolge The
E-mmler Mistakes Decidid,
SisqSing, X. Y., July 7. The
electrocution of the four.murderers,
Slocum, Smiler, Wood and Jugiro,
was done this morning. Slocum
was killed at 4 :421..', Smiler at
5:14, Wood at 5 :39, and Jugiro at
i :0o. A group of newspaper men
lounging on the stone steps and
the bluff opposite the prison saw
the first signal announcing that
one of the men had paid the pen
alty for murder with his life. It
was a small white flag which was
run to the top oi the pole and then
pulled down. It was a prear
ranged signal that Slocum, the
baseball t-layer. the man who
had hacked his wife to death, had
died just five minute" before. Be
fore the flag was set the news was
on a dozen waiting wires. Close
calculation fixes the time of Slo
cum's death at 4 :42. There was a
little bustle outside while the white
flag went np, and as soon as it was
pulled down everything became
quiet again. The deathliKe silence
w hich followed the bustle caused
by the raising of the flag was op
pressive. At 5 :15 the first rays of
the m irniug sun topped the east
ern blutf, and brightened up the
scene. A square of blue bunting,
w hich crawled slowly up the pole
at 5:19 announced ttat Smiler.the
salvation army boy, the slayer of
his third wife, had given a life for
a life live minutes before. It took
the attendant live minutes to go to
the top of the prison and hoist the
signal.
Xo one knew exactly who was
inside that board house with carefully-screened
doors. Xo one
knew just all who were the legal
witnesses to the killing, but this is
supposed to be the list: Dr.
South wick, Buffalo; Dr. Daniels,
Buffalo; Dr. Carlos F. McDonald,
state board lunacy, Xew York ; Dr.
Alphonso D. Rockwell, Xew York;
Dr. Samuel B. Ward, Albany; Dr.
Frank Townsend, Auburn"; Dr.
Barker, of the local prison staff;
Dr. Harembatgr, Prof. Louis H.
Sandy, Xew York; Father Hogan,
Rev. John B. Creedan, Deputy
Attjrney General Hoffman, E. E.
Davis, the electrician, and Charles
Durston, warden of the Auburn
prison The witnesses had re
mained in prison all night.
At 5 :45 ttie black flag went up
the pole. It settled the fact ibat
tiie negro Wood, who killed . his
companion. Aqnedem, during a
quarrel, was dead. The Jap, that
oig muscular Shibuya Jugiro, who,
in a tit of rag-j, stabbed to death
one of his countrymen, was to be
next. The flag of death for him
w as red.
It was all over presently. The
law had been carried out to the
letter, ond the red flag went up.
The entire time consumed in exe
cuting the four men was 1 hour
and 23'. j minutes. The mistakes
of the electrical experts which had
made the execution of Kemmler
in the pat a failure was carefully
avoided to-day. The cause of the
accidents and delays at Auburn
were well known to the warden at
-ing Sing, and they had been an
ticipated iu the arrangements for
i lie execution of the four men who
vere to be put to death during this
week, The tested voltage of the
dynamos had been brought up to
3,000, while the estimated voltage
which was turned into Kemmlei's
body was only 753. The weakness
of the current at the Kemmler ex
ecution was chasgeablo in part to
a slipping of the belt on the dyna
nu s, and especial precautions had
been taken to avoid this to-day.
The dynamo used was the West
inghouse, a counterpart of the
style used at Auburn, but was sup
plemented by a small dynamo in
tended to augment the current.
Dr. Alphonso D. Rockwell left
the prison at a comparatively early
hour, and it is understood he took
the train for Xew York. He said
the execution was an unqualified
eugcess, and that the death of the
.men was painless. The witnesses
briefly tell the story of the execu
tion as follows :
About 4 o'clock the witnesses
and jurors were led into the death
chamber. The experts had pre i
ousiy examined everything, and
they were satisfied that the ma
chinery of death would work per
fectly. At 4 o'clock Slocum walked into
the deatti room, accompanied by
Fat her Creedan. He seemed to
be making a tremendous effort to
keep his composure. He had re
ceived Father Creedan's last of
fice, and had declared himself
ready to die. He w as then firmly
strapped to the chair and the cur
rent applied. Death was instant
aneous. There was a sudden con
traction of the muscles, and theu
all was over.
Smiler followed next. Rev. Mr.
Edgerton cheered him up. Before
Smiler had time to think he was
strapped into the chair, and an
instant later the current of elec
tricky flashed through him that
sent him into eternity.
Xext followed Wood, the negro,
he having been worked up to a
state of religious enthusiasm, and

it was while in this frame of mind
that he was fastened in the chair
and killed by the fatal Bhock.
Jugiro was stubborn to the last.
There was the usual lerocions,
nglv look on his face. He was
closely guarded and 6bort work
was made of him.

AFTER BUSINESS
THE CANADIAN PACIFIC
GKASPINO AT ALL.
All Kail from New York to Chi
cago American Connecting
Liues to Be Bnilt.
Chicago, July 7. The Canadian
Pacific railroad has about com
pleted arrangements that will
practically create a new all-rail
route between Xew York and Chi
cago, ibis nas oeen a rumor mat
Ins received much attention in
Chicago of late, but heretofore
has lacked confirmation. An in
terested official positively stated
to day that it was a fact, and gave
the following details: The new
route will be the Cauadian Pacific
from Xew York to Detroit. From
Detroit on, an entirely new air
line will ba built via Fort Wayne
to Chicago. A new line will also
be built from Detroit to loledo,
tnd fioui Toledo to a junction
with the Detroit-Chicago branch.
The Canadian Pacific cannot, of
of court-e, operate lines in the
United States, and these new
lines will be built by the Bryce-
I homas syndicate and Richmond
Terminal interests, amply backed
by money furnished by Canadian
Pacific directors. Almost, if not
quite, enough subsidies have been
granted by different cities and
counties to build lines trom De
troit. Contracts have all been let
for this work and contractors are
bound to complete it before tbe
snow n.es. in addition me
Canadian Pacific company has
been authorized by the parlia
ment railway committee to
build the South Ontario Pacific
road fiom Woodstock via llamil-
ton to the Xiagara river, which
will be spanned by a new canti
leuer bridge. The same corpora
tion will also build from Buffalo
via Hamilton to Toronto to secure
another lake outlet by building
from Teswater to Kincardine, cn
Lake Huron.
