ALL CHARGES ARE DROPPED Ex-Preacher Was to Be Tried, for Unbecoming Conduct and Had Filed CouneriCliarjses Against Members of the Conference. SPOKANE, Wash., Sept 3. (Special.) .Her. C. D. Nickelsen, deposed pastor of the Methodist Church at Colfax, has with--drawn from the ministry and ended by his dWn action the brewing: scandal which threatened to disrupt the annual confer ence now in session here. Nickelsen held a long conference with Bishop Hamilton dast night arid as a result his letter of resignation from the ministry was read this morning and accepted Nickelsen's charges "against Presiding Elder Brown and Rev. Mr. Hodgson were also passed this morning and as Mr. Nickelsen is no longer a minister the charges will not be read. Mr. Nickelsen was tried last Winter on a charge of conduct unbecoming a min ister, towlt, in asking a Mrs. Dunbar, of Goldendale, a former parishioner, to come to Spokane and commit suicide with him. Nickelsen pleaded temporary insanity, but was duly ousted and his appeal was to be tried at this conference. Bishop Hamilton says: "His resignation was accepted under Are. I pointed out to him last night that this was for the best, that he was a young man, that by living a pure life in the future nothing was to prevent his be ing reinstated in the membership of the church and even in the ministry of the church, the task being that he must be ein his church life all over again. "As matters stand, no charges made by .Mr. Nickelsen have been filed with the conference against either Presiding Elder Brown or Kev. Mr. Hodgson. It is true that I received a copy of the charges, but J have merely acted as their custodian and they have in no wise come up for consideration by the conference. "Mr. Nickelsen, himself, has not been tried on the charges made against him last Winter. He merely had a preliminary hearing before the local church body. By his withdrawal nothing more will be done in Investigating the charges against Mr. Nickelsen." HERMIT OF THE OLYMPICS. Jfevr York Man Has Sequestered Himself for Fourteen - Year. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept 3. Attorney IRobert A. Hulbert of Everett, tells of finding Hermit LeBarr in a commodious cabin, high up in the foothills and 14 oniles from others of his race. The ac count of his brief visit with the recluse is told as follows by Attorney Hulbert: "Rutus LeBarr is 60 years of age. Fourteen years ago. after domestic trou bles, he left his family in New York City and turned to the west. "Thinking to find gold he went Into the Olympic Mountains, prospecting. Almost before he knew it his supply of provi sions became exhausted. Starvation stared blm in the face and he turned his tottering steps toward civilization. "His hunger became intense, and at the time he had about resigned himself to his fate he managed to shoot a large trout This he baked upon the rocks and con sumed ravenously. "As he completed his meal an elk strayed across his trail, and a shot from his riiie brought the magnificant animal to earth. The following morning "he kille.d a large bear. "LeBarr told me he immediately made up his mind that he had reached paradise, and straightway built a roomy cabin, Slewing the logs and riving the planks with his own hands. "The hermit's next step was to take Tin a claim of 160 acres. This valuable timber land is now in the very heart of I a Government reservation. The United States recognizes LeBarr's ownership and the old man looks forward to a time when XTncle Sam shall pay him a handsome sum of money to relinquish his claim. "The cabin in the wilderness is com posed of a single room, 20x40 feet. Tro phies of his skill with the rifle adorn the" rough-hewn walls. He has learned ' taxidermy and has many fine heads of deer. bear, elk and smaller denisens o the forest scattered about in decorative disorder. Deep and soft are the skins of wild animals covering the floor a collec tion of years. "An Incongruity striking my attention was the presence of many late books and magazines carefully placed In rough book cases. He is wen reaa ana reiimrivauii well posted on current events. "When Winter makes tals approach, the hermit lays in a great supply of wood and goes on long hunting expeditions to stock Ills larder. Andthen the snow comes, sometimes ten feet frequently 30 feet cov ers his cabin, and he and his books a'nd docs are prisoners for three long months. "LeBarr says he sees herds of elk in the valleys."

WILL OPEN ROUTE TO COOS BAY His Line Will Then Be Extended Eastyrard to Connect With Gould Lines at Salt Lake Coast Tim ber Belt -Will Be Developed. The construction of the Coos Bay, Rose burg & Salt Lake Railroad west from Marshfield to Empire, at the entrance of Coos Bay and from Myrtle Point east to Roseburg and thence to- Salt Lake is to go ahead, Major Kinney, the projector, having just returned from New York to Coos Bay with the announcement that he has raised the capital needed for the pur pose. Surveys have been made all the way" through, the plan being to connect with the Gould system at Salt Lake. The road Is now built from Myrtle Point to Marshfield, a distance of 30 miles, and about 150 men are employed on the ex tension from Marshfield to EmpireT where vessels drawing 20 feet of water can enter at half tide. The next section is GO. miles from Myrtle Point to Roseburg, which follows up the Coquille River for some distance, then goes through the Coast range to Roseburg. From that city the line runs up the north fork of the Umpqua River, crossing the Cascade range north' of. Crater Lake, and extends through Lake, Harney and Malheur Counties into the southwestern corner of Idaho, whence it passes around the end of Salt Lake to Salt Lake City. There it will connect, with the Rio Grande West ern, the most westerly of the Gould lines. West of the Cascades this line will tap one of the finest belts of timber in Ore- 1 gon, - including the only belt of white i cedar on the coast, which lies on Coos j Bay. This timber is more valuable than I sugar or yellow pine, being used for finish, sash and doors. The road will find a good lumber" trade already developed on Coos Bay, for there are mills there which ship to Australia, South America and Hono lulu. In the vicinity of Roseburg. it will have a fine farming and fruit country, and it will again run into heavy timber when it enters the Cascades. In South eastern Oregon the road will be dependent on stock traffic, but when completed through to Salt Lake, it will have a4 large through traffic in lumber and fruit to the East Eastern Oregon (being chiefly level, open country, this part of the line will be cheap to build. This road will probably be the begin ning of the opening of Southwestern Ore gon. A road down the coast to the Cali fornia line and north to Alsea Bay will gather in the lumber, flsh, wool and dairy products of the whole coast strip and bring it to market in Portland vand the East This is one of the rich sections of the state, the development of which has been retarded by lack of communication with the rest of the world.

X cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends upfmy spine. I have bearing-down pains Doth back and front. My ab domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years.

"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Sometime ago I wrote to you describ ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well womdil. -" The use of Lydia E.

I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful triftl.J, (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovariantroubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let ters we are dailv printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt-that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E.
