A life insurance policy is the one par
ticular contract which a man with a
family dependent upon him should be
most certain to take out at once; for he
should bear in mind that when it
becomes a claim, it will take his place
as a bread and butter provider.

The principal society event in Oregon

2tith, and was solemnized by Rev.
Father Hillebrand in the presence of
numerous friends. Promptly at 10
o'clock Miss Lulu Draper began to play
Mendelsson's wedding march, and Miss
Mattie Draper, bridesmaid, led the way
up the left aisle of the church followed
by the bride, leaning on the arm of her
father, while the groom and best man,
W. E. Lewthwaite, went up the right
aisle. They met at the altar, where
Mr. Knerten gave his daughter away ;
then followed the solemn and impress

church. T he interior of the church was
neatly and tastily decorated. The bride
was becomingly attired in a dress of
white organdie over white silk, decora
ted, while Miss Mattie Draper, wore
creme with an overdress of white or
gandie and carried a boquet of Mare
chal Niel loses. Immediately after the
ceremony the wedding party, accom

the corner of Ninth and Monroe streets,
where a splendid wedding luncheon
was served. Mr. and Mrs. Shehan left

An Historic Cannon.
For several days past, since the Cuban
war began to agitate the minds of the
people an old, nifty cannon planted near
the old brewery, has attracted consider
ble attention. This rusty old gun played
an important part in the early history of
Oregon City, and caused the death of two
men. Tins cannon was purchased in the
early 50s by Robert Caufield, sr., long
snce deceased, an 1 ot ter d-)mcrats.
Howeyer, D. P. Thompson, who resided
here at the time, contribu td something
toward its purchase. It was known as
the Ciiufiuld ordemoc ratio cannon, and
was used in celebrating political vict
ries and on Fourth of July occasions .
One day Uie republicans desired to cel
ebrate a victory, and ld by D. P.
Thompson, attempted to got control of
the cannon.
The contest took place on the bridge
leading to the Eights street wharf, and
after a slight Btruggle the democrats
succeeded in getting possession of the
cannon and stored it away in the base
ment ot a buikling. Tins little gun con
tinued to do duty in making noise on
public occasions until 1858 or '59, when
an unfortunate accident caused it to be
stored away. It was on the Fourth of
July, and John Howe and Thomas Ker
ley were ramming the bags of powder
into tnegun, while liugli Kern was do
ing duty at the breech, when accidently
the charge was exploded, and the two
former received fatal injuries. The can
non was l lieu stored away in the base
ment of the Caufield building, where it
remained for a period of 40 years tin
til it was resurrected the other day.
