TREACHERY.
ADDalhns:. indeed, are ne con
ditions today in Boise, Idaho.
The trials of Moyer, Haywood
' and Pettibone for complicity in
the murder of Gov. Steunenberg,
of Idaho, are ramdly ia mng
so serious an aspect as to be of
national interest ani impor
tance. As is known to nearly
all, it is. beyond doubt a fact that
the chances for seeurin r jury
of 12 men fearless enough to
bring in a verdict strictly in ac
cordance with the evidence sub-
the case are very slender. So
much for the threats of the fed-
eratiowists. This seemed bad
enough, but recent disclosures
indicate a condition still worse.
In recent dispatches it is stat
ed that some of those in the con
fidence of the prosecution have
been proved threacherous and
faithless to the cause of those
they served. The state has been
dealt a blow in it3 attempt to
bring the guilty to account.
Treachery, conspiracy and cor
ruption seem to be everywhere
to work a miscarriage of justice
in the cases in question. And
federated labor has become the
handmaid of all this dirty work.
r Far better would it have been
for every honest man connected
with federated or union labor
had their representatives placed
no obstacles in the way of a fair
and impartial trial of those de
clared accessory to the murder of
Idaho's governor. Better still
would have fared their cause had
the Chicago federation insisted
in the prosecution of those deem
ed guilty, that the odium of con
spiracy for a miscarriage of jus
tice might not attach to them.
Trusted officials of the state have
proved treacherous. Of all
damnable things there ire none
worse than threachery, 'nlessit
be ingratitude.
BOEDEEING ON C 'V.T.
'The history of the world at all
aces has drawn especial atten
tion to a mother's love 'or her
offspring, both in mankind and
among lower creatures of the
animal kingdom. It has been
recognized, fostered and protect
ed even in our courts of equity.
And so it should be, for there is
no truer or better emotion known
to mankind than that called
"mother love."
An incident in the street car
strike in San Francisco a few
days ago is of more than passing
moment when seriously consider
ed. In giving an account of the
situation the following paragraph
appeared in the associated press
dispatches:
A number of women living in Point
Loboa refuge camp armed themselves
with missiles of various eons and bom
barded a passing car. Tbey were doing
c.-nsiderable execution when the police
interfered. Later in the dav some of
these warlike women laid their babies
on the car tracks and were again chased
off by the police after several cars had
thus been blockaded.
This strikes the mind of an
average person so hard that they
are almost paralyzed. Here are
mothers jeopardizing the lives
of their infants. They have not
the least excuse for such an
action. In blind frenzy and re
bellion against the conditions
imposed by law and order they
resort to murderous tactics and
take chances on the possibility
of the motorman not seeing the
helpless babes stretched on the
tracks before an oncoming car,
in which event their babes would
be ground to atoms.
Suppose the motorman could
not control his car and the in
fants had been run over? Would
not the mothers ba guilty of
murder in that event? They
would have willfully killed their
offspring: and that is all there is
to the matter, for no good im
pulse ever prompted a deed so
dastardly, so inhuman, so for
eign,to what the love of a good
mother should be. ,w S:Kx
It is hard to. say what ; the
punishment for-; suca mothers
should be.,, f hey are frenzied
fanatics with murderous tenden
cies. They are noc omy unde
sirable citizens, .but , are a men
ace to the welfare, of the com
monwealth. And yet such crea
tures are allowed life and liberty
that they may propagate the
earth with their kind. Nothing
short of a miracle could make an
upright and respectable citizen
of the progeny of such mothers.
"Mother love" is foreign to
the instincts of such women and
they become lower than any
creature of the animal kingdom
or the birds of the air. In the
knowledge that tew women are
capable of the act credited these
degenerate San Francisco moth
ers the better class of people
have much to be thankful for.
Our Indictment.
Many of our readers have no
doubt read in the Portland dailies
articles to the effect that B. F.
Irvine, editor of the Corvallis
Times, and the undersigned of
the Gazette, have been indicted
by the federal grand jury. So
far we have been given no offi
cial notice of the specific charge
and have no more information to
ive our readers than is afforded
by the Portland papers.
From these papers it appears
we are charged with sending pa
pers containing lottery adver
tisements through the mails. The
lottery notice must have appear
ed in the regular advertisement
ot some of our local merchants.
The publication was the result of
nadvertance and lack of know-
edge we claim the innocence
of ignorance. At no time have
we had any knowledge that we
were violating the law. There
is no likelihood of the matter as
suming proportions of seriousness
and we trust those who know us
will continue to maintain their
trust in our honesty and desire to
at all times observe the law and
live up to it.

"OLD ARKANSAS."
Next
Wednesday Night at
vallis Opera House.
Cor-
The above well known play
will be with us for one night
Wednesday, May 22nd, and we
will be given the same produc
tion as when played in the larger
cities. "Old Arkansaw" is pre
sented by the same management
as the "Missouri Girl," and is a
close second to that popular com
edy. It is termed a melodramat
ic comedy, there is an interesting
plot, replete with situations that
make you hold your breath in the
excitement of the scenes. The
comedy element is a strong fea
ture, and more than half of the
evening's entertainment is a con
tinuous roar of laughter. The
characters are true to life-depicting
the dialects and ways ot the
people of this quaint old State.
Magnificent sceuery and mechan
ical effects are carried for the pro
duction. Prices of admission will be 35,
50 and 75 cents. Sale opens
Monday morning.
Guaranteed by Graham & Wells.
If the bead aches, if the back and
side are painful, if there is distress and
nausea after eating , if yon are sleepless,
nervous and out of sorts get a 50c box of
Mi-o-na from Graham & Wells with the
absolute certainty that the remedy will
cost you nothing unless it gives yon
freedom from all ills and pains and re
stores yon to health.
Use Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and
your ill health will soon be gone and yon
will forget that yon have ever bad indi
gestion or its resulting ills.
The proscect is favorable for a large
crop ot pears in the Willamette valley
this year. The value of pears grown in
this valley depends very much upon
their freedom from scab. The first spray
ing witn Bordeauv mixture for prevent
ing scab ought to have been given before
this time, bnt if not done yet, the sooner
the better.' The trees and fruit should
be dry when the spraying is done. Ag-i-culturiet.
KEET U. OF 0. TODAY.
Pullman Men at Eugene Will
' Discussing tbe track meet that
will be puilen off in - jSngene to
ddy. Wednesday's Register sayst
Pullman's sturdy athletes ar
rived iri Eugene yesterday from
Corvallis and are in fine fettle for
1 he track contest with Hay ward's
men 011 Friday afternoon. ..The
men are a 1 ttle discouraged over
their defeat with Corvallis bat
Hay ward says that tbe Pullman
team is much stronger than the
score against corvains snows.
He anticipates a close meet and
will take no chances on Friday
but will use every available man.
He is allowed fifteen entries.
The Washington lads will
train on the Kincaid held until
the tryout and will become en
tirely familiar with the track.
This will make it all the more
possible for the contest to be
close. During the time that
j tiiey are here they can get thor
oughly at home on the Oregon
track and know its advantages
and disadvantages, iiewitt, the
Puilman trainer, is an old hand
at the business and he will have
every detail of the track worked
out lor tbe advantage of his men.
Friday's contest wiil be peculiar
in that the two teams will be
strong in events in which the op
posing iearn is weak. Oregon
is strong in the sprints, jumps,
vaults, hurdles ' ' and weights.
Pullman also is equally strong
in weights and exceedingly
strong in the middle distances
and the distance runs. Pullman
also has good second 'and third
place men in everv event. This
does not mean that a recent
number of events will not be
closelv contested. On the con
trary where one team has almost
a certainty of winning an event
the other team has second place
men who will supply the compe
tition. The meet will be won
by seconds and thirds. It will be
a test of skill on the part of
Trainer Hayward and Trainer
Hewitt to figure out the second
and third place men tor on these
will each trainer, have to look for
his points.

The indications are favorable for a
good price for the coming crop of prunes-
It is believed that the crop in California
will be not more than half as much this
year as last and the shortage is especial
ly noticeable in the Santa Clara valley.
It is freely predicted that Santa Clara
prunes can not be bought in that state
this year at a lower basis than four cents
for the four sizes. In Oregon buyers are
oiiering to contract at 2 cents for the
four sizes which is equivalent to 4g
cents for 40-50s. Agriculturist. j
Monday is the city election but there
is very Kttle talk and seemingly but little
interest in the matter, if one may judge j
by appearances. For the office of mayor
there are no declared candidates so far as
is now known. Karnes have, of course,
been discussed, but the candidates them
selves have made no public declarations
and it is all guess work with the public
as to "who is who." As is known, J
D. Wells, J. W. Ingle and Lincoln
Chambers are out for chief of police,
Grant Elgin will run for treasurer and J.
F. Yates has consented to allow his
name to be used for police judge.
Things are moving right along in the
matter of tbe celebration for Corvallis.
The city council has granted the commit
tee on. .arrangements the use of the court
house lawn and the streetB, and great
plans are being made as to the features
tJat will be given during the day. The
goddess of liberty will be chosen by vote,
each vote costing the yoter one cent,
A suitable amount will be set aside for a
costume for the goddess. The lady se
curing second place wiil represent the
goddess of peace and the third place,
goddess of plenty. Otto Hathaway has
been chosen chairman of the salute torn-
miitee, John Alien chairman ,of the mu
sic committee, R. H. Huston will Bee to
the libertv car, Miss Margaret Fowells
is at the head of tbe ladies' committee,
and J. Kred Yates wiil be corresponding
secretary for the general committee.
An effort is to be made by the Albany
Merchants Protective Association to
run excursions from the adjacent towns
to that city once a week throughout the
summer months. A committee haa been
appointed to confer with the railroad
authorities with reference to rates, and if
a satisfactory arrangement can be made
tree excursions will be run into Albany.
The plan is to bring people from one
section to town on a certain day of some
week to be selected, and the following
week operate another free excursion for
the benefit of residents in another part
of Linn and adjacent counties. The ex
pense of the excursions will be borne by
tbe different merchants who expect to
profit by the increased trade that would
result by the influx ot visitors from sur
rounding towns. Lebanon Express Ad

tee of the local union of Christian En-

What Do They Cure?
The above question is often asked eon
evralng Dr. Pierce's two leading medi
cines, 'Golden Medical Discovery" out
Favorite Prescription.'
The answer is that "Golden Medical
Discovery is a most potent alterative ot
blood-purifier, and' tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in a cura

has caused the break-down, "Favorite
Prescription " will be found most effective
in buiidipar np the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, subduing pain
and bringing about a healthy, vigorous
condition of the whole system.
, A book of particulars wraps each bott's
giving the formulae o both medicines and
quoting what scores of eminent med
ical authors, whose works are consulted
by physicians of all the schools of practice
as guides in proscribing, say of each in
gredient entering into these medicines.
The words of praise bestowed ,on the
several ingrr-dients entering into 'Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers shouiri
have more weight than any amount of
non - professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance ot
their medical brethren and know whereol
they speak.
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non
secret, and contain no harmful nahit
forming druss. being composed of glyev-ir-extracts
of the roots of native, American
medicinal forest plants. They are both
sold by dealers in medicine. You can't
afford to accept as a substitute for one ol
these medicines of known composition,
