CONVICTION OF SENATOR MITCHELL.
If tho verdict of KDilty rendered by
an'Orcon jury on July 4, aguinst Sen
ator John H. Mitchell (Rep.) is irre
versible, the government litis gainer1 its
first substantial victory in tho cam
paign which it is waging against sen
ators charged with taking bribes. Sen
ator Charles II. Dietrich (Rep.), of
Nebraska, was acquitted, and Sena
tor Joseph R. Burton (Rep. ), of Kan
sas, once convicted,, lias been granted
a now trial. But the Portland Ore
goniau (Rep.) asserts that the convic
tion of Senator Mitchell is based on
"incontestable proof." The Louis
ville Courier-Journal (Dein. ) also de
clares that "the facts brought to light
at the trial make a record of official
corruption andfalse swearing rarely
developed in any criminal case."
This, iiidoed, seems to be tho consent
ient opinion of the press about the
case. Tho only extenuation of Sena
tor Mitchell that has been attempted
is that his culpability might be due
as much to ignorauco and carelessness
as to moral obliquity.
The papers whioli speak in un
friendly tone of Senator Mitchell de
clare that the result of the trial is the
logical seqnol to his life. In support
of tins' contention, they rofer to the
facts that there were many marks of
dishonesty and double-dealing about
the man, His true name is said to be
John M. Hippie, but this name he dis
carded, as the story goes, to hide his
identity when hofled from Pennsyl
vania to tho Paoirio coast in order to
escape the infolioitios of his first mar
ital venture. In gouoral ooinment
upon the convictod)sonn,tor's character,
the Springtiold Republican (Iud. ),
says:
"He has woll earned the fate which
uow overwhelms him. Always of
ooarse fiber, he has nover won the full
confidence of the "most honest and
acute men of his state, of which lie
has been at several periods one ot tho
senators in Washington. His elections
to that ollloe were always stormy and
marked by a low tone of political
striving."
Literary Digost.
DR. JOHN WELCH.
A fueo familiar to residents of Ore
gon City is lost sight of in the death
of Dr. John Welch. Ho was tho pio
noer dentist of our town. A broader
Hold invited him and he entered into
it. Ho proved himself capable of ful
filling the requirements of new condi
tions and was soon tho head of the
dental profession in Portland.
Throughout a painstaking, laborious
and public spirited life ho held this
place.
Dr. Welch, up to the time of his
diuith, retained property interests and
had a personal interest in Oregon
Ciy. Ho oamo hero often, chat toil
with "old friends and reviewed with
pleasuro the familiar scenes of his
early manhood.
One by one the builders of our pio
neer town are leaving us. We tako
u pt lit labor .whereat hey left oil'. In
a liitle while we will grow weary anil
will ask to lie relieved of duty. May
wo then account as creditably for tho
pastas do tluw who are leaving us
now.
We pause a moment in the hurry
and bustle of a commercial age to bid
adieu at the last parting. At such a
time, those who knew him will recall '
the kind heart, tho helping haiid anil
the well spent life of Dr. John Welch.
EXlELLENT CHAUTAUQUA PROURAM.
Those in attendance at Chautauqua
are this year enjoying a rare treat.
An evening's entertainment may be
had here for twenty-five cents that
costs ordinarily a dollar, uud the op
portunity of cujoying such treats,
even at the latter price, seldom pre
sents itself. Homer Davenport, in
his profession, has no superior in the
world. Dr. Frank W. Onnsaulus is
tfuT" greatest pulpit orator-'living?
The.Ohauttiqua Association places this
talent in the hearing of the people for
a Itweuty-live cent admission ticket.
Of course, in the ni'dst of harvest
ing, the farmers are very busy. Dr.
Uulisaulns, however, will speak at
Chautauqua next Sunday. Kvery
farmer who can possibly do so should,
hitch up his team and w ith his family
attoud Chautauqua on this day. All
will enjoy a treat to bo remembered
for a life time. Let usenjoy the very,
very good tilings that come within our
reaoh.
SIDEWALKS NEEDED.
It is to be hoped that the protest of
the ' Pacific Bridgo Co against the
construction of sidewalks on each side
f Jtho suspension bridge will not pre
vent the improvement. The bridgo is
inconveniout anil unsafe for foot pas
sengers. As it is, a frightened team
may, at any time, run down holpless
women and ohildron. Such accidents
have several times been barely
avoided.
Thousands of foot passengers cross
the bridgo daily. These should have
a safe passageway and there is a gen
eral desire on tho pait of Oregon City
that the county court may see its way
to provide tliesj walks.
A VICIOUS PRACTICE.
Our Molalla correspondent reports
that fish are being dynamited in the
Molalla river. Tho guilty parties are
deserving of the full penalty of the
law. This practice soon rids the best
(rout stream of its spackeled inhabi
tants. In order to secure a string of
i fish hundreds of the young are de-
etroyed. With a little patience plenty
I of trout may be taken with the hook
j and line. Thisi-t ho ouly lawful way
J to get them and anyone "resorting to
dynamite for the purpose should be
promptly reported to tho authorities.
Injured at Paper Mill.
While crossing tho wet machine
room at the Crown Paper mill yester
day forenoon, William Hobble fell and
struck on his bacu, which caused him
serious injuiies. Dr. Harvey Hickman
was immediately summoned and at
tended the patient, who was removed
to his home. Dr. Hickman stated that
the injury sustaired was that of a
fractured hipbone.
Marriages Are Legalized.
Two marriages were legalized Tues
day the filing of a decree of divorce
that was grauteed in the circuit court
in l'J02
In the early part of 1902 Grace
Hummer began a suit for divorce from
A, O. Hummer. In April of that
year the evidence was taken and the
divorce was granted. Mrs. Hummer
went to Washington and married an
other man. Hummer went to British
Columbia and married anothor woman.
The attorney in the case, a Portland
lawyer, put ,the decree in his pocket
and never thought of it again. Re
cently the Canadian man and Wash
ington woman ascertained that no
divorce was on record and they began
action to have this done. Dimick &
Dimick took up the. case, obtained a
now docree, which was filed this
morning. The Hummers will have
to do still anothor stunt at the altar
before they are legally married.

Injunction Suit of Mrs. S. A. Chase Set
tled at Last.
Injunction suit of Mrs. S. A. Chaso
against the city of Oregon City was
yesterday dismissed by the circuit
court. Tho. suit was settled out of
court by tlio parties, each party.agroo
ing to pny its cosrs.
P This is a suit brought last fall by
Mrs. Chaso restraining the city from
granting a perpetual franchise over
Railroad street of this city, claiming
that the franchise, if bo granted,
would cover certain properties belong
ing to her, and which she had title to,
lying along the bluff.
When this suit was filed in the cir
cuit court considerable interest was
manifested by tho citizens of Oregon
City. It was tho time when the citi
zens tried in vain to prevent the
mayor and city council from granting
a perpetual franchise to tho Southern
Pacific Company, in return for which
the company would do certain work '
ot constructing underground road
crossings and overhead pedestrian
crossings.
The city having been successful in
tho injunction suit brought by the cit
zens, it is presumed that the dismissal
and settlement of the suit yesterday
was the outcome of tho failure of the
citizens to win out heretofore.

A DANGEROUS RUNAWAY.
Mr. Moody and Family Have Narrow
Escape.
While out for a pleasure drive Fri
day Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moody and
son, Kent, barely escaped a serious ac
cident by jumping from the buggy in
which they were riding on seeing that
their horse had become frightened at
a new plank in a bridge.
Mr. aud Mrs. Moody were just re
turning from a short dirve up the
Clackamas river and were driving
leisurely along when they came to a
bridgo in the narrow road just cntside
the city limits. The county had just
finished repairing the small bridge
and a now plank was visible. On ap
proaching the culvert the horse be
came frightened at the new plank uud
started to shy. On seeing that an ac
cident could not be avoided, Mrs.
Moody and son Kent, jumped to the
ground. Mr. Moody stayed with the
vehicle, and as tho steed became more
frightened, buggy and all plunged
over the embankment into the gutter.
On going overboard, the buggy was
cramped in such a condition that tho
shafts broke aud freed the horse,
which started at a breakneck speed
homeward.
The horse ran down Main str"et of
this city without molestation until it
reached a point, iu front of Selling's
store, wliero it ran into a farm team,
breaking the touguo of tho wagon in
two. Gaining its foet again, the horse
started on, nnd being iu a senseless
condition, ran up against the Metho
dist church building and fell. Several
men from the livery stable ran to the
scene and loosened the harness from
the animal nnd stalled him iu tho sta
ble. Mr. Moody was not injured.

Ruth, the little daughter of E. N.
Dewey, of Agnewville, Va., was ser
iously ill of cholera infantum last
summer. "We gave her up and did
not expect her to live from one hour to
another." he says. "I hnppnned to
think or Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and got a bot
tle of it from the store. In five hours
I saw a change for the better. We
kept on giving it and before she had
takon the half of one small bottle she
was well. " This remedy is for sale

BURGLARS AT WORK.
Portland Clothing House Was Robbed
Sunday Morming.
Burglars entered the Portland Cloth
ing house early Sunday morning by
means of securing an iron pipe from
the secondhand store just across the
street and ..breaking in "the transom
over which they climbed.
After gaining aucntraiiceTtliey took
from one of the clothing tables a large
canvas sperad and put it out upon the
floor upon which they heaped their
plunder. When tiiey finished ran
sacking the premises they tied the
bundle up and quietly left by way of a
back door leading ffrom "the rear to
one of the darkest streets in the city.
On- discovering the robbery, G.
Rosenstein, proprietor of the store,
immediately notified police head
quarters. Detectives nre working "on
the case, and as they have 110 clue to
svork upon it is doubtful whether tho
burglars will f be run ) down. Mr.
Rosenstein J claims that he has lost
goods to the value of about $200. The
merchandise nnd clothing taken con
sisted principally of several suits of
clothes, shoos, assorted socks, and a
number of silk handkerchiefs.
HELD TO CIRCUIT COURT.
Milwaukie Gamblers Waive Examination
and Case Will be Heard in November.
Isaao Gratton and Mj. G. Nense, pro
prietors of the Country Club, at Mil
waukie, w'eu arraigned before Justice
J. W. Grasle, at Mihvauki", Saturday,
waived examination on tho charge of
committing an net hy which the pub
lic peace is disturbed, the public de
cency outraged and public morals in
jured. They were held to the circuit
cr.urt, and their bonds were fixed at
$200 each. These were furnished aud
the defendants were released. The
case against the Milwaukie resort will
not come up in the circuit court until
the first Monday in November.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Schu
bel has also rotified the municipal
authorities at Milwaukie that the
poolroom at that place must be closed
immediately or he will prefer charges
against them on the grounds of mal
feasance in office. There has been no
attempt to resume gambling in this
city since the raid that was made by
Sheriff Shaver and Constable Trem
bath last week, aud the county
officials have announced their deter
mination to suppress gambling
thorughout the county.
One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars
Earned.
The average man does not save to
exceed 10 per cent of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in living for
every dollar saved. That being the
case he cannot be too careful about
unnecessary expenses. Very often a
few 'cents properly invested, like buy
ing seeds for his garden, will save sev
eral dollars outlay later on It is the
same in buying Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It
costs but a'few cents, aud a bottle of
it in the house often saves a doctor's
bill' of several dollars. For sale by
Goo. A. Harding.
