Misappropriation of Chorea Property
Discussed.
The final day of the Methodist con
ference was a busy one. This forenoon
was devoted to bearing committee re
ports, and to discussion of some trouble
over church property at Walla Walla.
It seems that the Wilbur Chapel prop
erty there, donated by Father Wilbur
and Father White, was sold by the First
Methodist church of Walla Walla and
the proceeds spent in building a new
church. The complaint is now made
that tbe Wilbur Chapel belonged to tbe
conference as a whole and not to the
Walla Walla church. Rev. W. T.
Koontz and Father White, two pioneer
ministers, had something vigorous to
say on the subject, and there were other
talks. A committee was appointed to
see if the alleged misappropriation can
be adjusted.
This forenoon, also, constitution and
by laws for the Preacher's Aid Society
were read and adopted.
This afternoon was devoted to finances
and statistics. The conference is etill
in session, and the appointments will
not be announced until its close.
Pullman, Wash., was selected as the
place for holding the next conference.
The rival cities were Pullman, Moscow
and Walla Walla.
Rev. Utter advocated the establishing
of a Methodist academy at Sprague,
Wash. No action was taken by tbe
conference.
The report of the committee on the
state of tbe church was read, and adopt
ed with some modifications. Monday's
East Oregonian.
At Last It Will Be Here.
On Thursday evening, Sept. 2d, at the
Vogt opera house will be presented the
great Veriscope reproduction of the Cor-bett-Fitzsimmons
fourteen-round con
test. The exhibition is beyond descrip
tion. Tbe whole civilized world
knows this gladiatorial contest was taken
by the Veriscope and is perfect in
every detail. Everything that oc
curred at Carson City upon the
17th of March is graphically shown
not one blow is missed, and the sensa
tional scenes which took place will be
depicted as in life. The opera house
will no doubt be crowded to the doors
The Veriscope will present everything
just as faithfully as when shown at the
Academy of Music, N. Y., and Marquam
Grand, Portland.
Our Hold on Samoa.
New York, Aug. 28. A special from
Washington says :
Instructions have been issued bv the
state department to Luther W. Osbom,
of Nebraska, the consul-general to Apia,
Samoa, which will form tbe basis for tbe
restoration of the influence of tbis coun
try in the Samoan islands.
Under the Cleveland administration
Samoa was abandoned to Germany and
Great Britain, and no attempt to live up
to tbe provisions of the tripartite agree
ment has since been made by this gov
ernment. President McKinley, how
ever, considers the islands well worth
holding to the limited extent provided
by the agreement, and his ideas on the
subject are embodied in tbe instructions
which Mr. Osbom will carry with him
to Apia.
It is probable that a United Stales
warship will be sent to Apia to show
the Stars and Stripes and to let the
people of the islands uuderstand that
this government has not lost interest in
them.
No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some .time ago to give
away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New
York office, there was a great rush and
a great many people tbougbt they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been a very clever advertising t ran sac
lion, lor aitbougb tbey gave away
thousands of bottles, it was in tbe end
profitable : nearly every one that took a
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying tbey bad de
rived better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
need.
Tbere is nothing so uniformly success
ful in the treatment of Btomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what is better than all, it relieves at
once.
Laxol, the new form of Castor Oil is
so palatable that children lick the spoon
clean.
Swept by s Hurricane.
Denver, Aug. 28. A special to the
News from Nogales, 4r'zJ says.
. Advices from Guaymas state that a
hurricane visited the Gulf of California
and the lower Mexican coast on the 22d
inst., and that information of the dam
age done ia begining to arrive at that
port. At Las Gnaymas. near the mouth
ot the Yaqui river, the region for miles
around was inundated, and the town
swept away. Three lives are reported
lost and great damage done ' to crops.
The steamer Carmen is supposed to have
left Agiabampo for the south just as tbe
hurricane was coming, and fears for her
safety are entertained. The storm has
prostrated the wires all along the coast,
and no particulars can be gathered. It
is feared that a number of vessels have
been lost. 4
Wage Scale towered.
Cincinnati, Aug. 27. The Commer
cial Tribune special from Anderson, Ind.,
says :
The American Wire Nail Company,
having expended $70,000 in improving
their plant with machinery, has an
nounced the scale for the wire depart
ment, which ia a slight increase above
tbe average scale of like plants in the
country, but a cut on last year's scale,
which is due to the introduction of the
plate system. Tbe company will treat
with the men only as individuals.
Last night a notice was posted by the
company notifying 300 men that they
would be grven nntil Friday evening to
remove their tools and personal effects
from tbe factory.
Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It haa given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain'i
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen
town, Pa. Sold by Blakeley & Hough
ton.
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy always affords
prompt relief. For sale by Blakeley &
Houghton.
Want! the Olrard Millions,
Kansas City, Aug. 30. Mrs. Edith
Singles, wife of Frank Singles, of this

the following sensational declaration :

grandfather was a brother of Stephen
Girard's father. When Stephen Girard
died, in 1831, he left a fortune which has
increased nntil it is now about $20,000,.
