OREGON'S HONORED GUEST
Great were the honors and genuine
the welcome extended to President
Roosevelt by the people of Oregon
yesterday. Ashland, Salem and
Portland, the three cities in which
brief stops were made, and all other
towns through which the President
parsed, were in gala attire, and
thousands of people gathered to aid
in welcoming the Chief Executive,
And the President, who has been
truly described as "An Eastern
man with Western ideas" appeared
to deeply enjoy every minute ofj
his visit. His first words after
crossing . the State line into Ash
land expressed his kindly feeling
toward the people of the West. "It
is with a peculiar feeling
pleasure that I come to the State
of Oregon." he said. "It has never
before been my good fortune
visit it, and yet I know

The trip to Portland was
continuous ovation, and
demonstration in that city was on
a scale of grandeur never before
attempted in the Northwest. The
Presidential party departed for the
Sound this morning.
Hon. Binger Hermann was i
Dallas for a few hours, Wednesday
greeting old friends and making
many new ones. He upoke to
large audience at Independence
in the evening. Mr. Hermann
will receive the entire strengt!
of his party m Polk county
and, in view of the fact that
he is in a position to do more
for Oregon than any other candi
date at this time, it will not be eur
prising if a large number of Demo
cratio votes are cast for him. Since
President Roosevelt has expressed
a desire for Hermann's election, no
talk is heard of his not being in
Bympathy with the administration,
and he will receive the usual heavy
Republican majority in the district.
Dr. S. S. Wise, of Portland, has
been secured to doliver the annual ad'

Alexander S. Kerr was shot and
fatally wounded by William P. Pea
cock. Monday at 4:15 p. m. The
tragedy occurred at Parker, a village
five miles South of Independence. No
one witnessed the shooting, and the
details are not known. After the
shooting, Mr. Kerr was seen walking
from his barn toward the house, and
his terrible groans of agony attracted
the attention of Mrs. Swink, who
was busy at her home. She was the
first to come to his assistance, and
alarmed the neighbors, some of whom
had heard the report of the gun.
Mr. Kerr was found to be badly
wounded, the entire load of No. 4 shot
having literally covered his breast,
neck and face, even penetrating his
eyes. Some of the shot had entered
his lungs, and he was suffering from
internal hemorrhage. He died about
30 minutes after the shooting occurred.
Mr. Peacock is a single man, and
lived one door south of the deceased
The shooting occurred just outside of
the gate of Mr. Kerr's residence, and
blood was observable from the reel
dence to the barn and to the residence
again, which was decided to be the
course of the deceased after the shoot
ing.
Mr. Kerr was an exemplary citizen,
and was respected by his neighbors.
He was a Civil War veteran, and was
about 65 years of age. He leaves a
wife, one son and one daughter. He
was conscious until a few minutes be
fore his death, but made no statement
as to the motive for the crime,
After shooting Kerr, Peacock im
mediately left for Independence and
gave himself over to Constable Moran,

or of lungs rendered incapable of
breathing by disease. The blood
as it flows in and out of the lungs
indicates the consumptive's pro
gress. As the lungs grow weaker
less oxygen is inhaled and the
blood changes from scarlet to pur-
nlple. Oxygen is the lite of tlie
7 blood as the blood is the life of
the body.
The effect of Dr. Pierce's Gold

lungs is to strengthen them, to en
able the full oxygenation of the
blood, arrest the progress of dis
ease, and heal the inflamed tis
sues. Lung diseases have been
and are being cured by " Golden

cases where deep-seated
cough, irequent hemor
rhage, emaciation, weak
ness, and night -sweats
- have all pointed to a fatal
termination by con
sumption.

The only motive for the bloody
tragedy appears to be a quarrel of
long years' standing between the two
men. Twelve years ago, so it is said,
they had trouble and Peacock shot
Kerr in the leg with a 22-caliber rifle,
inflicting a slight flesh wound. Their
relations had never been friendly
since that time. Peacock is about 35
years old, and is a hunchback.

The Benefit of Change.
We are like house plants: We
need a change of soil now and then
to be replanted. New scenes,
new experiences, new surroundings,
a change of climate, dry air instead
of moisture, sunshine in place of
cloud. This is sometimes essential
to health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than
Europe can offer. Take a month
or two in California. Plant your
self for a time where there are no
irritations, where the hotel is be
yond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where warm sunny
weather invites to walks and drives.
Pure and dry air, and the increased
electric influences of sunshine are
