MURDER, MARRIAGE AND BUICIDE.
A New Hampshier Man Accomplishes Much
in Forty-eisht Honrs.
At Dover, New Hampebier, this week
Frank Worby orowded a great deal into
forty-eight hours. Within tbat Bpaoe of
time be became a murderer, a bride
groom and a suicide. Be killed Adalbert
E. Parker one evening, courted bis
former sweetheart, Miss Ada Morrison,
whom be called "Bessie," on the follow
ing day, married her that evening, en
joyed a honeymoon of twenty hours'
duration, and then shot himself dead.
He is survived by two 'widows." His
first widow is 55 years old and lives in a
farm house in Brookline. Miss Morri
son, or Mrs. Worby No. 2, is 25 years old.
Worby, who was about 50 years ol I,
killed Parker because of attentions whiob
be paid to Mite Morrison, whom Worby
employed Bt bis road house. Worby
was exceedingly jealous of Bny atten
tions by guests to the girl. This oaused
a quarrel between ber and Worby a
month ago. and she returned to her
bom at Lee. Worby attributed the
girl's departure to Parker, and the ill
feeling between the men oulmuiated in
the murder of the latter at the roadhoo.se,
where the Brooktiue man was a guest.
After the murder Worby fled. He re
solved to kill himself, but determined
before doing so to make Miss Morrison
his wife. He spent tbe night in n b irn
aud then made his way through the
woods to Pepperell. Then be boarded a
train for Lee, and found Bessie at her
borne. Despite the quarrel that had
occurred between them, the girl was glad
to see him and greeted him cordially.
"I killed Dol Parker last night and
am going to kill myself," were almost
the first words tbat Worby said to her.
Sbe laughod, thinking he wan joking,
bat he continued to call himself a
murderer and to make threats of suioide.
Then be urged an immediate marriage,
declaring tbat he bid obtained a divorce
from his first wife.
Tbe girl consented and that evening
tbe pair, with Miss Morrison's parents,
drove to the house of the Rev. Mr.
Wilmot, at Lee Hiil, and (be two were
united by tbe olergymnn, who knew of
nothing to interfere with tbe marriage.
The Rev. Mr. Wilmot had Dot beard of
tbe murder,
After luncheon the next day Worby
told bis bride he must bid ber farewell,
for bis hjnr to die had come. . She up
braided bim for joking on such a serious
suljeot. He took ber in bis arms, told
ber how muob he loved ber, shook
bands with his motber-in-lnw and dis
appeared down the railroad traok.
Worby was found a few hours later
sitting egainst a tree In the woods near
bv. There wss a bullet hole through bis
brain and his right hand olntobed a
revolver. He was dead.
COliBETT AND JEFFRIES.
The Former Clialler,s;g the Latter for the
ChampionHhip.
New York, Nov. 13 Jumes J. Oorbett
has challenged James J. Jeffries t figbt
for tbe heavy-weight championship of
the world. Oorbett deposited $5000 to
be oovered by Jeffries in any way. he
sees fit. It may be taken as a wager or
a forfeit. Oorbett, in his letter, states
tbat he desires au immediate matob,
giving as a reason that he desires to
begin preparations at an early date.
Provided bis money is covered, Oorbett
will meet Jeffries November 17, and sign
articles. In oonolnsion, the ex ob amnion
alludes to bis meeting with Sharkey, in
which be olaims to have stood off tbe
sailor in nine rounds. When seen to
night, Ootbett said:
"I never was more serious In my life
tban I am abont this. Many people
think tbat I doti'l w ant to fight again,
bnt this deposit of 85000 will settle all
doubts. I would put up $10,000 but for
one reason. It is this: When tbe fight
onmes off Jeffries will be tbe favorite in
tbe betting. If I put up $51)00 uow it will
go at even money, whereas, then I will
be able to eel 7 to 5 against it. Tbere is
Do nee in overlooking tbat percentage.
I want to figbt in less tban six months,
and will be ready when Jeffries is. If
tbs matob is made, Kid McCoy may train
with me. He is willing, and I am con
sidering it now.''

Mustard bas bothered many of tbe

WOMEN OPP08B SUFFRAGE.
Organization on Foot in Foitland to Resist
the Amendment.
Portland, Nov. 9 An association of
the most prominent women of PortlBod
has been formed for the purpose of op
posing women's suffrage. A oiroular
letter eettiug forth their reasons for
bdou opposition is being sent out.
Tbe officers of the organization are:
President, Mrs. R. W. Wilbnr; vioe
presidents, Mrs. W. 8. Ladd, Mrs. J. B.
Montgomery; treasurer, Mrs. Wallace
McOamant; 'secretary, Mrs. Robert

Mrs. A. E. Rockey, Mrs. Rose F. Burrell,
Mrs. 0. H. Lewis, Mrs. F.K.Arnold, Mrs.
David Loring, Mrs. Cleveland Rockwell.
"We desire to call attention to the
fact," snys the oiroolar, "that an amend
ment to the constitution of Oregon, giv
ing full suffrage to every adult woman
in tbe state, is to be submitted in June,
1900. We, being Oregon women, and
therefore affected by provisions of such
amendment, wish to enter protest sgainet
its adoption by you.
"We believe that only a small percent

prove tbat a great majority of Oregon
women do not use the ballot."
Cliehalis Wins.
Westfield, Mass., Oat. 26. Today
was aa eventful oue nt the Woronooo

the New Westfleld Driving Association,
the track record of 2:11, made by Barney
several years ago, being plaoed at 2:08
bp Ohehalis, driven by Jere O'Neil, of
Lexington. The record was made in
the fourth beat of the free-for-all, wbioh
wns won by Ohehalis. Tbe day was a
perfect one for raoiog, and tbe track was
in firet-olass condition. The free for-all
woe tbe star attraolion of tbe day's pro
program, and all four beats were warmly
contested. Roan Wilkci was tbe favor
ite, and tbe oontest was between bim
and Cbebalis The fi 'at heat was won
by Ohehalis hard preesed oil the way
round by Wilkes. The latter took the
pole at the fourth turn, but was not able
to hold it. The second beat was won
by Roau Wilkes, Cbebalis dr.!p;iog
buok to third place. In the third heat
Roan Wilkes laid up and j .nt dropped
inside the d'staoce, wbiia Rnbinetnin
pushed Ohehalis hard to the wire. The
fouith beat was tbe most exciting of the
day. The drivers were given a pltt'n
talk by the judges, and it had a bene
ficial effeot, for the traok reoord was
plaoed at 2:08. Chehalis had the
pole and held it to the finish. Roan

Weston Boy Killed In Montana.
Weston, Or., Nov. 12 This commun
ity was distressed to learn of tbe death
of Arthur Read at Cheater, a small sta
tion on tbe line of the Great Northern
in No'tliern Montana. Read, wbo was
21 years old, had many relatives and
friends at Weston. He left her a few
months ago to seek employment in Mon
tana, and was employed in teaming. He
and bis employer stopped with th?r
freight wuyous at Qoldendale, a little
plaee 60 miles from the railroad, and
went into a saloon to warm themselves,
oooordiog to reports. A free-for-all gun
fight was started among cowboys in the
saloon , during whiob Read's employer
left tbe place. Read started out himself,
and, being a stranger, it is supposed
that some of t tie cowboys in terf erred
with bim and be became iavolued in
tbe racket. He was strtiok on tbe bead
with a billiard cue aod shot in tbe arm.
Tbe wonoded boy was moved to Chester
where be died.

Energy of the Americans Demoralizes the
Filipinos.
Manila, Nov. 13 General Young is
supposed to have reached San Nioholas,
about 30 miles east of Dagupan, but his
wagons are far behind. Colonel Hayes
has captured Agnioaldo's saoretary, and
Mijor Oolemm is ia C irraugian with an
escort of 175 bolomen, on his way to the
provinoa of Nueva Vizoaya. A son oi
General Llaneras and his family are
prisoners. The general birely esoaped.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press with GansraJ Youag telegraphs
from San Jose that Againaldo did not
escape to the northwest. He and hi"
army, the correspondent adds, are sur
rounded. His last orders to the Filipino
commander at Ban Jose were to hold
San Jose and Oarranglau at all oasts.
Tbe reaeut euoounters were too one
sided to be called fights. The insur-
gentsare mortally afraid of the Ameri
cans, however strong their position.
They make but brief and feeble resist
once, and run when tbe terrible American
yell reaohes their ears, whereupon tbe
Americans pursue them and slay them.
The moral effect of the news that 60,000
troops are on their way here bas been
unquestionably great.
Insurgents are suffering mure from
disease than from the Amerioans, owing
to poor fool, laokof medioiuus, and filthy
hospitals, with the result that there is
great mortality among them.
General Lawton bas intercepted a
telegram from an insurgent caDtnin to a
Filipino general, reading:
"How can you blame me for retreat
ing when only J2 of my oompany were
able to fight?"

IMl'ROVKIJ TOURIST BLKKt'hllS.
Railroads Are Acceding to Demands of Middle
Classes Who Want lletter Hleepliig
Car Servlee.
In response to tbe demands of the
times the O. R, & N. and its connections
are plnaiug in operation a tnnch better
grails of tonriet sleepers for Paoiflc Coast
service than at any previous time, Tbe
largely increased trullio to this section of
tbe oonntry has demanded all the im
provements of latter day transportation,
and iu oonsidoratiou of this tbe railroads
are establishing a service which is ex
cellent in every particular. Not only are
the wishes of tbe first oluss passengers
served, bnt those wbo are traveling to
and from tbe east on second olass tickets
are splendidly cared for. Tbere was a
time when a tourist sleeper appealed to
a lirnited number of people wbo were
traveling on tbe "olieap" order, iu every
meaning of the term, Now, however,
tbere baa been a radical change. With
the better tourist sleepers in operation
the class of passengers has been im
proved, and one may now travel upon
them and eejuy all the privileges of a
first class sleeper at a greatly reduoed
rate,
Dally, on the O. R. , N. east b uind
fast mad, is attached one of these latest
improved tourist sleepers, a model of
beauty and handsome appointment. The
new cars are almost an exact counterpart
of tbe first-olaes sleepers.

A STOCKMAN TALKS ENCOURAGINGLY.
Remarks That Those Owning Cattle Are la a
Very Independent Situation.
"How many cattle are for sale in tbe
Echo neighborhood," was a question
asked A. B. Stanley. Mr. Stanley came
from bis Echo home Friday evening,
and wss seen in the corridors of tbe
Hotel Pendleton. The Eoho looality is
well known to be one of tbe most pros
perous in the oounty.or, far tbat matter,
in any part of tbe Inland Empire.
"I know of only one band of cattle
now offered for sale. Tbat is, only one
b iud the owner of wbioh is really de
sirous of selling at the present time.
This one is offered for Bale at $30 a head
for all the oattle ia the band, all agea
and conditions."
Of course, any of tbe stookmen would
sell, if offered prices large enough, but
most of them, knowing that buyers will
not off.ir what tbsy regard as a big
enough price, and determined to bold
uutil spring, and fatten for tbe next
year's market.
"All the stookmen have plenty of bay,
tbe oattle have ooun through the sum
mer in good shape, and tbe range is la
ideal oondition. These elements ot
prosperity make tbe stookmen ratber
independent," continued Mr. Stanley.
''Everything now seems to place tbe
stockmen of our part of tbe country in a
position to demand what they believe
to be their just dues, or wait until they,
oan get it.
"There is no reason to complain, how
ever, for during tbe past season the
stookmen have done finely in every rs-
speot." East Oregonian.
The Inheritance Tex.
When Jay Gould died in 1892, saya
the Cbioago Reoord, be left an estate
valued in round numbers at $72,C30,000.
All bis wealth was left to direct heirs.
Tbe tax upon suoh bequests under tbs
New York inheritance tax law is one per
cent. Consequently tbe amount re
ceived by tbe state ot New York from
Jay Gould's estate was approximately
$720,000. The value of tbe estate of
Oorneilus Vanderbilt is not known
acourately, but it conservatively esti
mated at $70,000,003. Not all of Vau
derbilt'a wealth was left to direot heirs,
however, aud as the rate ot taxation
upon bequests to collateral heirs ia 5
per cent it is probtble the state ot New
York will receive from the Vanderbilt
estate a some whatlarger amount tban
wns seonred from the Gould estate. In
addition, the Vanderbilt estate must
contribute to the revenues of the federal
government, in aooordanoe with the in
heritance tax law, approved June 13,
1808. The federal inberitanoe tax law
imposes different rates, aocording to tbe
degree of relationship existing between '
tbe beneficiary and ibe testator. It is
also progressive, the highest rate nnder
tbe law being 14 per cont npon bequests
exceeding $1,000,000 in amuunt going to
persons only distantly related to tbe
deceased or strangors to him in blood.
Tbe highest rate paid on bequests under
the Vanderbilt will presumably will be
ten per oenl, This rate will fall npon
the bt quests left to Cbaunoey Depew
and some other strangers in blood to
tbe Vanderbilt family, wbo receive
amounts ranging from $100,0)0 to $500,-
000. The rate' paid in bequests to the
obildren of Mr. Vanderbilt, each of
whom reoeives au amount in exoess of
$1,000,000, will bs $2 25 oo every $100.
Applying this rate to the portion falling
to Alfred G. Vanderbilt estimated at
$41,000,000, exoluslve of tbe gift of $0,
000,000, to Oorneilus it will be seen
that the federal government is to re
ceive $922,500 ot tbe sum bequeathed to
tbe new bead ot tbe Vanderbilt house
hold. Tbe government will also take
$108,750 from each of the other four
ohildren who reoeive, 7,600,000 apiece.
Tbere is no tax ou the portion going to
tbe wife. There is no tax on the portion
going to the wife. Tbe total tax on tbe
bequests to tbe five obildren is $1,597,
500, provided the estimate of $70,000,000
for the estate is correct. The amount to
be deducted tor tbe benefit of tbe federal
government from the $200,000 be
queathed to Cbsuncy l))puy is $20,000,
All told tbe amount payable to tbe
federal government from the Vanderbilt
estate is likely to approximate $2,000,000.
Tbe total amount to bath slate and
nation out of tbe estate in inheritance
taxation may fairly be estimated .s be
tween (2 500,000 atid $3 000,000.-Portland
