From this distance and at this point in the evidence it appears that the defense lu the Durrant case have to build upon a very frail superstructure. While all theWidence both for the prosecu tion and the defense is strickly circumstantial, yet the weight of testimony is agaiust the defendant. It is barely possible that Durrant's neck will be saved from the hat.g man's noose, bnl he is standing upon dangerous ground, which must be apparent even to his cal- loua nature. If Theodore Durrant is innocent, he is certainly the most unfortunate of men for fate and circumstances are against him. It is a gruesome and blood curdling story that comes from Linn county in n-gard to the at tempted murder of Mrs. Hiatt near Scio last Thursday evening. The would-be assassin is a woman. It is alleged that Mrs. Emma Hannah, disguised as a man, is the person who made the murderous assault upon Mrs. Hiatt. There appears to be some diversity of opinion as to the motive. There is" evidence to show, as it is alleged, that the motive was for the purpose of robbery, while there is other evi dence that the "green-eyed muster" inspired the murderous deed. It is hoped for the credit of woman that Mrs. Hannah will prove her in nocence. Attention is called to notice of SDecial meetine ofthe "Sons and daughters of Oregon pioneers" to be held in this city on the TJth instant It is hoped that as many as can conveniently attend will be present. The object of the meet ing is ta sufficiently organize so the "sons and daughters associa tion" can co-operate with the "Polk County Pioneer Associa tion's" reunion at Dallas next June. The movement is certainly worthy in every way and we trust that the descendants of the Oregon pioneers will gladly aid in perpet uating the memory and noble work ot their mothers and fathers. No pioneer's son or daughter should be recreant to this sacred duty. Special attention is called to Principal Hayes' announcement of the opening of the Independence schools, which appears in an other column. Parents should carefully read the list of books w hich come under each grade and see to it that their children are properly equip ed with the necessary supplies. The name of every child in the dis trict should appear upon the school enrollment. There is no excuse in this day and age for depriving the boys and girls of this country of the benefits of a common school education. It is better for the state to pay for the education of the young than it is to support a horde of paupers and criminals, and it is better for parents to deny themselves some of the conven iences of life than to raise their children in ignorance. The jails and almshouses are filled with il literacy; and, other things being equal, the person with a common school education is better equipped to successful fight the battles of life than those who have not these advantages. In all ages of the world ignorance has been the hot bed of crime, and it is largely the influence of the common schools of this country that makes Americans the most pro gressive and the most enterprising people of the world today. 1 ... A enlarge iuo nvc essential changes as soon as they could see their way clear to do so The change is made with i week' issue. We have never said much about the improvements we had in view, for we think it better to work diligently, "saw wood nothina" than to fill up our columns with promise, only made to be broken and vain vaunting empty as a vacuum, ino r.mr. mi ui.lkiu. pi.ik has now more reaaing mas ter than any newspaper in the county, and the matter is fresh, diversified and entertaining. It gives the news from all part of the A in a concise, entertaining form; there is romance for the gay .ilid thouuht lor the sedate and i variety of sparkling brevities for all classes of readers The tartu r' column and the world's mar kot reports are of special interest to those engaged in agricultural pursuits. The local and editjrial departments of the paper will be along similar lines traversed here tofore, modified, of course, by such improvements as we may be able to make from time to time. We confidently predict that our read ers will be pleased with the me chanical and literary changes in this week's issue. The newspaper of Western Ore gon are quite generally discussing the question whether or not the climate and soil of the Williamelte valley is adapted to the cultivation of sugar bwta. To be sure, the vxrirjient has never been tried on a large scale, but a number of pro gressive, intelligent farmers have heen experimenting in a small way in sugar beets for several years and with fairly good results. An anal ysis of the product sent to the Ag ricultural college in 1H'.i2 iroiu sev en Williauiette valley counties gave an average percentage of 14.5)8 in crystalized sugar from the juice of the beets. This falls about 05 per cent bolow th average richness of the German product, yet the samples from Linn county yielded as high as 17.10 per cent. It is the concurrent opinion of in telligent observers that the Wil liamelte valley is destined at no distant day to become a great sugar beet producer, and that beet sugar will be one of the staple pro ductions of the country. It re quires a peculiar quality of soil and plenty of sunshine to produce a good quality of sugar beets, and our farmers should continually ex periment so as to ascertain the localities best adapted to successful production of this product.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, hut two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eg gers, 139 Florida street, San Fran cisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thank ful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at Drug Store.

The mam building is light.il by a UiMM-an-die power arc light, while the stag" 1, lurnished with 7 Incandescent lights. The seating accomodations are very good, consisting of chair mid comfortable benches. The Mage was WTupi.nl by the memU-r. of the (leneral Gibson post. No. (U, also the newly enrolled mem'rs of the Sons of Veterans, the speak ers and chorus singers of the eve ning. The opening exercises were begun by singing the ode "Ameri ca". Post Commander J. I. Stock ton, in a neat speech, welcomed the people and briefly reviewed the history of the building. He said i he cltiiens had subsorbed 1315, )iua t debt of onlr IM0 standing against it tlm construction of ft 41(7 w--- the building had been gratuitously contributed by member of the Gibson tnist and other generous ami public-spirited citiiens of In dependence. Commander K. W. Alhm. of Portland, and Colonel lloefer, of The Capital Journal. delivered eloquent and interesting addresses. Commander Allen re viewed the work of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Hke very feelingly in regard to the healing of the old wounds between the North and the South. Colonel lloefer a pealed to the patriotism of the people and said that the essential f-Buard to cttueimhip were n moral character and high intellect ual purpose. Mrs. Ungeriuan, of McMinnville, spoke interestingly for a few minutes on the go. work being done by the Woman's relief corjia. Mrs. J. P. Irvine, of McMinnville, recited "The Dandy Fifth" in her usual acceptable man ner. Prof. Wymer, of Salem, and Mrs. Wulter Babbitt, of this city, elicited stormi of applause by tln-ir masterly renditions on the, piano. Both are unquestionably very tine musicians and it is seldom that an Independence audience ban an op prtunity to hear such talented artists. The Novell. Club simply covered themselves with glory. They are inimitable, irrepressible and in comparable; good actors us well as trained and accomplished ing"rs. The Dallas Glee Club proved them selves to be a musical quartette of very high order, and their rendition was applauded to the echo. The local talent of Independ ence sang some very interesting selections. Miss Susie Fennell, one of our local talents, rendered an excellent violin solo, accompanied by Miss Ella Fennell on the piano. The program us a whole was highly entertaining. The groHH receipts of the evprung amounted to $118, and the net proceeds will be applied on the in debtedness of the building. During the afternoon a camp of the Sons of Veterans was organized with 24 members. The tollowing officers were elected: W. P. Con- away, captain; Ira Clodfelter, 1st lieutenent; rred M. Brown, 2nd lieutenant; W. A. Baker, W. L. VYiikisH, Harry Hosier, council. One Give Itellcf. It is so easy to be mistaken about indigestion, and think there is some other trouble.
