iKiiiiber of votes cast. Remember, each
tlistrict gets two priaes in addition to
the grand prize of the house and lot,
giren to the whole territory.
The house and lot will bo worth ev
ery cent of $l.V0, and as a prize well
worth working for. Think of it, a
home presented to you alisolutely free
of post, new, anl built, by a firm that
is recognized as the leader in this line
t,l work. The deeds will be turned over
t-i the successful contestant on the day
the contest closes absolutely free of

housekeeping at once. It will be a
good idea for some (f the couples who
are contemplating matrimony to hurry
ii and get married so as to have an op
portunity to secure tnis elegant home
fre of cost. It is an opportunity that
may never occur again, so it will be
well to take advantage of it now.
The piano will be well worth $:"00,
and is one of the best carried in stoet
by a well known house of Portland.
The bnggy is the celebrated Iiee Line,
no,l by the old established firm of
Mitchell. Lewis & Htaver Co. Any bug

name is sufficient to satisfy the most j
exacting as to quality.

Were Not Awakened.
Neither tne daughter, her younger
sister or the two boys, the latter of
whom are aged 12 and 10 years, re
spectively, ! appear to know anything
concerning the crime. They say they
awoke last Friday morning and found
their fathe dead in bed, and were hor
rified to discover blood scattered over
the bed and about the roomfl
They say they heard absolutely no
noise during tho night no shot or
groans, yet a shot was fired, and the
upturned condition of the bed clothing
indicated that the murdered man must
have had a struggle.
The bullet ranged diagonally down
ward through the head, showing that
the shot was fired downward, and from
a direction that could not have been
done by the hand of the old man him
self. 5 The bullet was found embedded
in the pUlow. Smokeless powder must
have been used, j "
After making a thorough investiga
tion, officers are of the opinion that the
murder is the culmination of a family
row. Just who the crime will be fas

.TOKJO, Sept. 9. Toe council of the

and passed a resolution strongly con
demning the government for conclud

Godzydania, Sept. 9. Despite : tho
fact that dispatches from St. Peters
burg announced the treaty of peace
bad been signed, the war operations
have not ceased and skirmishes have
taken place daily daring the past three
days along the entire frontier and
each day is seen tne shedding of blood
uselessly. '
Tokio Has Quieted Down.
Tokio, Sept. 9.-r-General Saknma's
instructions to the troops have pro
duced a favorable impression. . Since
the proclamation of martial law there
has been no aet of-violence necessitat
ing the, use of arms. Order is appar
ently restored. There is every indica
tion, however, of -an undercurrent of
dissatisfaction verging on indignation
against the peace terms among the
educated. J. ,
Setting Down Upon Agitators.
Tokeo, Friday, Sept. 8. The govern
ment has ordered the suspension of the
Nippon, a conservative paper, and the
Jim m in, a radical paper, on account of
objectionable articles dealing with the
local situation. The government has
also ordered the suspension of the Ashi
a Tokio newspaper.
Many Details Are lacking.
4 Tokio, Sept. 9. The city continues
quiet, and. public excitement' and ap
prehension is subsiding. .While the
active political agitation continues, the
prospect of additional violence is de
creasing. It is impossible to obtain ac
curate figures of the killed and in
jured during the rioting. Many of
the wounded were conveyed to their
homes, thus concealing their condition.
A number of arrests are withheld, but
it is estimated that it will amount to
many hundred. ' - -
chillren, who occupied the same room,
could have slept through the aight.with
out having heard the shot , fired that
killed their father, unless they were
drugged. But all of them tell the same
story, declaring they knew nothing of
the afTair till morning, when they dis
covered the old man dead.
Another feature of the case that adds
to the likelihood of the daughter know
ing something of the erime, was the
finding of -a pistol on a shelf over her
bed. One shot had been fired from the
weapon, and the bullet found ' in the
pillow is of the same caliber as the pii
tol. -he weapon had bloody finger
marks on it, believed to be proof that
it was the pistol fromwhieh the fatal
shot wag fiTed.

When asked how she could have slept

daughter stated her belief that she
must have been druggeu, and that her
younger brothers sister must also have
been drnczed bv the murderer. . She
savs thev had had no trouble in the
familv. thoucrh she admits that there
was ill-feeling between her father and
a son-in law, though the two had not
met for some time. ? ;
Not long ago Jennings was heard to
remark that he was afraid of his son-
in-law that he was afraid the son-in-law
would do him harm sooner or later.
About a year ago Jennings' wife de

Survivor of Party of Seventeen
of Hardships in Africa.
CIirtfAOO, Sept. 11. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Mobile, Ala., says:
William llilburn, a former resident of
this city,. .arrived, here -yesterday after
three adventurous years spent -in the
wilds of Africa, with sixteen others, in
response to glowing offers by agents of
a construction eompany, building the
Cape to Cairo railroad. llilburn is the
only one of the sixteen to return alive.
Hilburin and his sixteen companions
accepted -terms to urk on the railroad
as engineers and trestle, builders. They
left Pensacola, Fla., on, August 22, 902,
under a promise of big wages and other
flattering inducements. The party em
barked for the Zambesi river district,
north of Transvaal, where the Cape to
Cairo road was under Construction. In
due time they arrived. At this time
llilburn states that their. hardships be
gan. What was expected to be a scene
of activity and wealth turned out to be
a desolate railroad ramp in the jungles.

Decker, consisting of Mrs. Decker and
her daughter Ethel Morton. Harris is
36 years of age, and is madly in love
with Miss Morton, whom he wishes to
marry. As the girl is only 17 years of
age, and is attending the mute school
at Salem, her relatives turned down
the swain, with the result that he tried
to drown his sorrows. in the "flowing
bowl." '
lie went to the Decker home at
Clackamas Heights and ,. laid violent
hands oh Mrs. Decker, . threatening to
kill the whole family unless he was per
mitted to wed Miss Morton. He found
a few trinkets that he had given Ethel
in days gone by when his expectations
were high, an. these he twisted and
broke intobits. - finally Miss Morton
ami Mrs. Decker, succeeded in inducing
him to leave the house, slamming the
door in his face and locking it, but
Harris flung his weight' against the door
which gave way, and. be again com
menced his annoying tactics. A. call
was issued to the neighbors, who re
pond,and Harris was told that he
would either have to leave or go to
jail.
Tbe man usually is peaceful, and has
not been known to drink to excess for
two years. Three years ago, it is said,
he wa sdrnnk and gave Ethel Morton
$3. ' She did not want to take the
amount, but to quiet him she did so, but
rcinrnei it aa soon as he became sotxr.
Jow he asks for toe $3, evidently be
lieving that he never received it.
The family of Mr. Decker and Harris
are m conference with. Deputy District
