SALVATION COMES CHEAP.

In Masonio hall in this place laat Sunday
evening to a congregation of over one hun
dred people. The sermon was well deliv

do you expect to support your minister T"
Mr. Phllbrook baa preached for you three
times, and Inst Buoday waa the first time
an attompt has been made to raise money
to defray thia reverend gentleman'a expen
ses. The collection on this occasion reached
the enormous sum of 91.25; just think of it.
and he baa preached only three times I
Don't vou think that by the Urns be baa
preached three times more he will be in
such a financial condition aa to atrongly
tempt him to retire from public UfeT
I would advlas that you be a little oarerul.
It Is not always wise to be ao free with your
money. Boms people are so mean that so
soon aa they find that you have money and
will part with It ao willingly, without cause
or provocation, they would not rest or let
you rest a minute until tbey bad bled you
of your last cent.
My private opinion publicly expressed ia
that but very little credit ia being reflected
on a large number of people who sanctioned
the proposition, and a number, even Instru
mental in getting Mr. Phllbrook to hold
services at this place. Mr. Phllbrook la a
very patient man, and very just, and we
have nerer beard him tnurmer a word of
complaint. But the faot that the writer
has at times In life worked for very anmll
pay, and some times even unable to oollect
that, quickens the thought as to what mlnr
(sters, who are no bettor provided for by
the congregation than the one above men
tioned, will do after the chilling frosts of
winter have stayed the growth of vegeta
tion and the squirrols have hidden away all
the acorns. While it may be a pleasure
for Mr. Philhrook to spend hla time and
enerey preaching for us. we should not ex
pect or allow hi to do it for not!, ng. Mr.
Phllbrook reoeives no compensation rrom

and has only a prospect of the small sum
of 1160 a year for his services at the two
other places-Rainier and 8cappoose.harelly

MURDERER UPTON ESCAPED
Generally Believed to Ilaye

It Was Done While the Sheriff Waa
Gone to Supper No Cine to
Ills Whereabouts.
George Upton, who murdered William
DeJournett and attempted to kill two
other peraons In the house at the same
time during the month of August, 1887,
and who was to have been tried for the crime
today, broke Jail on Thursday evening of
laat week about 0 o'clock just after The
Mist was printed, and made his escape.
It was about ten minutes past six wben
J. R. Beegle, whose residence is In the
same block and almost opposite the county
Jail, came out of the house and started
down town. Just at this time be noticed a
man come out of agate a little further
down the sidewalk and directly back of the
jail. Only a few steps and the two met
and Mr. Beegle discovered It waa Upton,
but aa It waa getting dark he could not tell
whether it was the prisoner or a twin
brother who had been In town that morn
ing, and thought If it waa him he might be
walking fast to catch the 7 o'clock train at
Houlton. Upton had his coat on" carrying
it under hia left arm and a small bundle of

blankets nmier bia right, and was making
substantial strides along the sidewalk
northward. Beegle hurried down the street
to the second corner where be found the
deputy sheriff, constable and city marshal,
of whom he Inquired whether or not Dave
Upton waa atlll In town, and on being told
he had left In the morning, replied that he
had Just met the prisoner going outof town.
Deputy Sheriff Blakesley said be must be
mlktaken aa he (blakesley) had left the jail
not more than five minutes before. He, in
company with the other officers and the in
formant, however, ran to the jail only to
And that tba report was true. Sheriff Doan,
who waa borne to supper, waa at once no
tified and with the assistance of Deputy
Blakesley andConatable Decker prosecuted
a search until far Into the night, but no
trace of the fugitive was discovered. The
night being very dark Upton was soon out
of alght In the woods and it would be like
''finding a needle in a haystack" to hope
to find him.
CONDITIO OF THB JAIL.
On examination of the jail it was found
that three abort boards had been put in the
floor where prisoners had heretofore es
caped, and these bad been taken up. From
the manner in which the boards were
marked the center board bad been struck
from underneath and split np so that Up
ton on the Inside with a stick of oak stove
wood slightly beveled, pried the uthera up
and crawled through the floor and out
from beneath. Before doing this, however,
be had taken the precaution to lock Badger,
the other prisoner charged with murder
and who was asleep at the time, up in one
on the steel cells. Every indication points
to the probability that some one assisted
Upton to escape, and it ia the general opin
ion that Dave Upton, while here Wednes
day and Wednesday night, at which time
be positively refused to room with any
other person, made arrangements with
some one to do the job. Upton's sister
from California was here last Sunday and
was very much surprised to learn that ber
brother bad gotten away, saying he had re
peatedly remarked to ber that be believed
be would give himself up, stand bis trial
and have the matter over with. But it
seems that wben be learned the two women,
one of whom he attempted to kill, had
been brought from California as witnesses,
he ohanged his mind and proceeded to pro
long the agony by getting away.
Upton ia about 18 yeara of age, full six
feet tall, weight about 190 pounds, is of
large frame, rather dark complexioned,
light thin mustache, a ready talker of very
polite manners, has scar or birth mark of a
kind of white spot under right eye. When
laat seen he wore a slouch hat, navy blue
clothes and checked shirt.
TOOK DUK FKECAtmoN.
Sheriff Doan, realising the frail condition
of the jail, bad employed, at his own ex
pense, a man to guard the building, but for
some reason or other he must have left bis
post of duty or else the escape could not
have been made without his knowledge.
There are a great many theories aa to
the course the fugitive would take, but the
majority were of the opinion tbat Dave
Upton "had arranged for a boat to be In
waiting on the river bank a ahort distance
below town, and tbat within a very few
minutes he waa on his way across the Co
lumbia for the Washington side where he
Is familiar with the country, it being gen
erally believed that during the eight yeara
he evaded capture he spent most of the
time in the hills of Cowllts, Wahkiakum
and Pacifio counties. Sheriff Doan has
sent out circulars to all sheriffs and chiefs
of police containing Upton's picture, to.
getber with a general description of the
man, and has also offered a personal reward
of $200 for his arrest and detention.
HISTORY OF THK CBIMB.
Most of the readera ot Tiik Mist are
familiar with the nature of the crime for
which Upton was to be tried, which was
committed shout as follows:
About 6 o'clock on the evening ol Friday,
August 12, 1887, George Upton entered the
dwelling of William C. Statler, on the Lower
Beaver, and announced that be Intended
to kill the entire household and then kill
himself. Then he began shooting. Two
shots were aimed with good effect at De
Journett, the last one striking blra near
the temple and producing death almost in
stantly. He then turaed on Statler, firing
in quick succession, two shots taking eSeot,
one In the shoulder and the other tearing
off a piece of the lower jaw. This emptied
the revolver, and Upton, who bad brought a
supply of ammunition, then refilled his
weapon with tbe intention or Killing Mrs.
DeJournett, but when he pulled the trigger
the hammer did not work, the spring evi
dently having been broken with tne last
shot. He beat the woman oyer the head
4
with the revolver, threw ber on the floor
and kicked ber until she was covered with
bruisea from bead lo foot. Upton then put
bis revolver and what ammunition he bad
into the pocket of the dead DeJournett,
and under threats of certain death forced
Statler and the woman to promise thoy
would swear thst Statler had killed De
Journett. lie then walked to McOraw's
landing, procured a small boat and rowed
to Oak Point to get Dr. Newell to dress ths
wounds of his victims. The doctor, bow
ever, wss across the river at the Uodgkins
place at the time and Upton was again
obliged to cross the river. He found Dr.
Newell and returned with him to the scene
of the trouble and assisted in dressing ths
body of DeJournett. By this time it was
about midnight, and Upton then left the
house and made bia escape in a small boat
to Quinn's landing where be boarded a
steamer the next day and was soon out of
ths stats.

To Hon. Tbomus A. McBride, judge of
tbe above-named court, we, your under

term of the circuit court of Columbia coun
ty, Oregon, make this as our final report
and respectfully represent to tbe court:
That we have carefully investigated all
chargea of crime that have been presented
to us, and have disposed ot the same in
such manner as we deemed warranted by
the evidence, and have returned into conrt
"two true bills" and one "not true bill.'
We visited the county jail and found that
it contains three cells without proper venti
lation, and in our opinion unfit to confine
a human being in for any considerable
time. Tbe building is unsafe to confine
prisoners in. and ia entirelv inadeauate for
the needs of the county. We therefore
recommend that the county court procure
proper cells with steel corridors for the
county jail, and thereby make it so that
criminals can oe surety Kept merein.
We visited the offices of the sheriff, tbe
county Cleric, county treasurer, county as
sessor and county surveyor, and examined
the books and accounta of said officers as
far as we could without employing an ex-
pert. Hearing no complaint about the
management oi eitner oi tne omces, we aia
not deem it necessary to. employ an expert
to examine the books and accounta of said
officers at this time, as we ascertained from
the examination made by us that the county
court at each session examines and properly
checks the accounts of the clerk, sheriff
and treasurer. From the examination we
made we found that the books and accounts
of each of the said officers are neat and
well kent. and that each of said officers are
properly performing the duties of hia re

Mrs. . E. Davis.of San Miguel.Cal.,
Bays ; "I am trying in a measure to
repay the manufacturers of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy for the great
good their remedy has done me. For
years I was a constant sufferer from
weak lungs and bronchial asthma. My
rest at night was disturbed by a hack
ina; cough so that I felt miserable the
greater part of the time. Many reme
dies reoommended by friends were'
tried, none of which proved suitable
to my case. I did not experience any
beneficial results until I began taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. After
two bottles of the large siie had been
used I am pleased to state, my health
is better than it has been for years
The soreness has loft my lungs and
chest and I can breathe easily. It has
done me so muoh good that I want all
who are suffering from lung troubles
as I was, to give it a trial. For sale by
