Work of Two Men Having
Effect on Oregon City
People
Dan Shannon, "The Cyclone Evan
gelist, " and Gospel Singor Harry
Ross made their initial appearance in
the pulpit of the tiaptist church ou
Sunday night, and the straightfor
ward manner in which the evangelist
spoke showud to the full satisfaction
oi those present nust why lie lias
earned the nickname. Mr. Shannon
does not in the least believe in beat
ing around the bush at all, but from
the opening to the closing of his talks,
he delivers a constant broadside into
the ranks of vice and heresy that cau
not be resisted. Nor dots he believe
in confining himself to the very
choicest of Webster's vccabuluric
curiosities when a popular saying
explains tlie matter more clearly a
popular saying is used. Whine a
story will illustrate the point in
question more clearly, a story is told.
He has a very forceful delivery,
and with this combination of gifts in
a speaker, there is no doubt chat a
number of conversions will result.
Witticisms play a leading"' part in
Shannon's spoech, which abounds in
such epigrams as the following :
"Some folks get all tiiey can, and
cau all they get. If the church house
were a passenger train some members
would be put off at the next station
for trying to dead head their way."
"Some clmrch members aro like
a sponge. Thoy take everything in,
but give nothing out, unless you
squeeze them, and that good and
hsrd."
"I don't believe in falling from
grace, but- muny are falling for want
of grace. ' '
"Lots of professors of religion seem
to have the mumps and cannot speak
for God. If they had t.ho Tneusles,
they might bret.k ont and praise the
Lord."
way some people give an
in church, the appropriate
sing would be, ' When we
part, it gives us inward
"The
offering
song to
asauder
pain.' "
"Prejudice is as stubborn as amnio,
but not half so useful. "
"Some folks are like hogs, never
look np unless they are on their
bach s."
"If God had wanted you to bo a
hog, he'd put a long snoot on you. "
"Any fool can serve the DeviL It
takes a man to serve God. "
"Woman is a thing of beauty and
an expense forever."
"Some men have pawned themselves
to the Devil and lust the ticke."
"I've seen many a $20 hat on a five-
cent head. "
Harry Ross, the dinger who accom
panies shannon, porseases a sweet
voice, and his appearance on the ros
trum it always hailed with great in
terest. Mr. Rods is leading a large
choir of local voices, who sing revival
hymns in a soul inspiring manner.
JNext Sunday arternoon at 2 :3U Mr.
Shannon will hold a meeting for men
only, the topio of his discourse being
".bind Me a Man." This address Iium
been delivered by Mr. Shannon in
many large cities and lias always been
most favornably commented on.

Attendance Increase.
One of the surest signs of the
growth of a state is the percentage of
increase ' in the attendui ce at the
schools, and from the attendance of
160,042 of the present year, compared
with 130,750, the attendance of ten
years ago, it may be interred that

healthy increase in imputation during
the past ten years. Since the follow

scholars have entered the schools all
over the state. This is especially
true ot the Oregon City schools, as a
great many of the scholars do not en

McCalley, "the man with two talents,"

good. Mr. McCalley has appeared be
fore several audiences since residing
In Oregon City, and his appearance
has been always hailed with delight.
During their stay In this city, Mr. and
Mrs. McCalley have made a number
of friends, who while they regret to
have them leave the community, wish
them the greatest success on their
tour. An entertainment tour Is by
no means a new experience to Mr.
McCalley, as he has spent a number
of years In theatrical enterprises.

tled up the Spanish fleet, spoke in
Shively hall Wednesday evening be
fore one of the largest audiences in
this city, and from start to finish he
held his audience with rapt atten
tion, receiving many marks of appre
ciation by rounds of applause.
His address was along political lines
yet might better be classed as an ed
ucational talk following as he did the
situations in our government affairs
that are of the greatest importance to
every citizen and every patriot who
has the wellfare of our nation at
heart He talked of the positions of
the two great parties are occupying in
the great stage of commercial enter
prises of today, the liberal qualities of
the Democratic party and the conser
vative features of the Republican. The
ills of the great party that has been
in power for nearly half a century,
citing many facts which show the
tendency of the conservative party to
draw away from the people and the
natural hiding place and protection It
affords for the moneyed classes with
the resultant benefit to that class
against the masses of the common
people, basing his remarks upon facts
and figures that had a telling effect
upon hlB hearers. He portrayed the
indications that have been so appar
ent for the past twenty years of the
slow but Bure process of filching from
the people their great privilege of
freedom, and marked the point well
with precautions, to look well that the
judiciary do not overstep Its place and
tend to dictate to the representative.
the only hopes of the people, the only
rock upon which they can ever hope
to secure a footing.
He closed his talk with a stirring
picture of the unprotected condition
we are finding ourselves In on this
Pacific coast against the encroach
ment of the yellow race across the
great waters, going over the many un
pleasant relations with Japan within
the past year and the need for protec
tion here, and the probable outcome
of the reaching out of the little brown
men. .. ,
The stage was well occupied by rep
resentative Democrats of the city.
Diphtheria Reported.
George E. Pusey, Jr., the six year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. George E.
Pusey, is suffering from an attack of
diphtheria, and as a result, the fam
ily are quarantined in thoir residence
cm Mam and Tenth streets, and Mr.
Pusey Is unable to attend to his
duties as superintendent of the Haw
ley Pulp & Paper Company.

ing 111 on Friday night, but It was not
known that he was affected with
diphtheria till Sunday night, when the
case was diagnosed by Dr. M. C.
Strickland, and the house placed un
der quarantine. The doctor has the
case woll in hand, and at last reports
the little fellow was doing very well.
At time of publication no other cases
have been recorded In the city.
Hoboes Are Gathered In.
It Is now the psychological time of
the year that the disease known as
wanderlust" gets into the veins of
the box car tourists of the nation,
and they begin their aimless wander
ings. The Southorn Pacific Is getting
their share of the transportation of
these nomads. This fact can be prov
en by the members of the local police
force, as the city bastlle Is filled near
ly every night with this class of wan
derers. Tuesday night, officers Cooke
and Shaw gathered In a bunch of
fourteen, who were hanging around
the Southern Pacific depot. It is well
known that there is no good Impart
ed to this class of men by confining
them, besides, It Is an expense to the
city, so they were all released and
ordered out of town the following
morning.
