Will Visit Morrow County Soon.
To the Editor:-
Through your paper may I say to
the good people of Morrow county
that it has become impossible for me
to visit them before the primary el
ection, May 15th, but I plan to do
so soon after, in behalf of my can
dldacy for the United States Sen
ate..
I appreciate to the full the kind ex
pressions that have come to me from
Morrow county by letter,, from In
terview and through the press.
As I view It, every interest of the
Northwest is pleading for restoration
of the Republican party to power,
A revolt against the Democratic tar
iff act that free-listed our products
is apparent throughout the State
The best expression of disapproval
of Democratic policies and the best
Indication of their reversal can be
shown by a full party vote at the pri
mary. For the Party's sake,' and personal
ly, I acknowledge in advance grate
ful appreciation for the votes that
will be cast for me as the Party's
choice for United States Senator.

Jake Dexter Is Fined $50.
A penalty of fifty dollars was as
sessed Jake Dexter by Judge Phelps
yesterday, and added to this was
some advice by the Court that Dex
ter should long remember. Dexter
was found guilty on t'ne charge of
furnishing liquor to minors. He is
a minor himself and is 19 years of
age. He came into court without an
attorney and refused to have one.
No objection was raised on his part
to any of the jurors drawn and he
asked but one or two questions of
the witnesses called by the state,
neither did he make any defense, so
the case went to the jury this way
and the boy was found guilty. It
was because of his age that the
Court did not impose a heavier pen
alty and Dexter was warned by the
Judge not to appear before him
again on such a charge for if he did
the punishment would be much more
severe.
The Verdict Is Not Guilty.
The above verdict was returned
on Tuesday in the case of the State
of Oregon vs. J. L. Wilkins, indicted
for selling unwholesome meat. The
jury consisted of John S. Abbott,
Fred Esteb, Peter Susbauer, W. A.
Wilcox, Thos. Nichols, L. D. Hale,
W. H. Padberg, L. E. Gay, O. M.
Whittington, F. E. Bell, Henry
F. Blahm and John Hughes. This
case created considerable Interest.
It was known as the "bloated beef"
case and grew out of the disposing
of some meat last summer by M. R.
Fell, employee of Wilkins, the meat
being a young steer that had died
from alfalfa bloat. There was no de
nial of the Belling of the meat or of
Its condition but the jury, on hear
ing the evidence produced concluded
that Mr. Wilkins had no knowledge
of the transaction and was therefore
guilty of committing no crime and so
rendered their verdict.
