BLOW OPEN 8AFE IN GRESHAM
STORE AND DEPART WITH,
$300 IN CASH.
DID NOT DISTURB CHECKS
Over $1000 In Paper Money Left Un
touched by Parties Who Robbed
Lewis Shattuck's Store.
Friday night, or Saturday morning,
the safe In the store of Lewis Shattuck
in Gresham, was blown open, and
a large sum of money stolen. About
$300 In cash was taken. Nearly $1000
In endorsed checks were in the safe
at the time, but the robbers were evi
dently afraid of the risk of passing
the checks as they left them behind.
No clue as to how they effected an
entrance has been found. It Is sup
posed that they hid in the store dur
ing the day and waited until night to
do their work. It was certainly the
work of profeslonals as sacks of flour
and blankets were used to muffle the
report of the explosion. Three charg
es In all were used. No drilling was
done. The fluid was poured into the
cracks and then soaped up.
' Two unknown men purchased fuse
and caps In the store during the early
afternoon and it is supposed that the
pair had something to do with the
affair.
Earle Townsend, who was return
ing home about 2 o'clock Saturday
..morning heard three men talking
about "the pan." It was known that
Mr. Shattuck left the cash in a pan
inside of the money box. Both pan
and cash are missing.
No. clue to the robbers has been
found as yet.

Mary Rhoades has instituted divorce
proceedings in the circuit court
against L. M. Rhoades. Following
their wedding in Vancouver, Wash ,
November 20. 1901. the plaintiff 'de

had considerable money, neglected to

all of this is in his mother's name.
Mrs. Rhoades asks ($30 a month ali
mony and the right to resnine her

Her husband, however, does not
seem to see the case in the same light
as does his better half, for in his
answer to the complaint, he says that
the plaintiff was wholly to blame for
the separation. He charges her with
drunkenness, and says that he has of

Dan Shannon Talks From the
Shoulder and Hits Hard .
ITS A GENERAL STIR-UP
The Devoted Preacher Baptizes
Twenty-Six People in
One Evening
Sunday evening, Evangelist Shan
non will close the revival meetings
at the Baptist church. He leaves the
city with his helpers next Monday for
Corning, California, where he is en
gaged for a similar series of meet
ings. 240 converts are reported up
to Tuesday evening of this week.
Nearly 100 of these have already unit
ed with the Baptist Church.
A special service will be held on
next Sunday at 10:30 A. M. sharp,
when the hand of fellowship will be
given to all new members. About 75
will receive It.
Great crowds are turned away and
cannot get in. At many of the ser
vices may be found people who come
to hear the Evangelist from great dis
tances. In Clackamas County.
Shannon is the simplest and plain
est gospel preacher that ever came to
Oregon City. Truth is truth to him
and the Bible is God's inspired book
and he preaches hell with a veng
eance. Men tremble under his pow
erful appeais for a clean life and It
Is a common sight to see men, strong
men, weep like babes as the convic
tion of sin comes upon them and the
Evangelist holds them over the pit of
hell.
Whenever men's meetings are an
nounced the house Is always crowded
and it is a notlcable fact that men go
to hear him who have not darkened a
church door for years. The news has
gone abroad that there have been spe
cial meetings at which was discussed
what to do with Shannon, but the con
clusion was reached that Shannon was
telling the truth.
Oregon City today is alive with re
vival interest. In every saloon, groc
ery store, shop, office and on every
street corner, in every home the re
vival is the main topic for discussion.
Some curse Shannon and others praise
him. Many in Oregon City do not
wish to hear him because of the ter
rible truths he drives home which
hit the nail on the head.
He says there men in Oregon City
who have hellish, damnable sin in
their lives, who have sold out to the
devil and pawned their ticket and who
are afraid to hear the truth about their
lives and for that reason they do not
come.
Evangelist Ross has been singing
a beautiful song, the words of which
many are asking for. The song is:
"Going Thro the Land." The tune Is
the same as "Coming Thro' the Rye."
Here are the words:
profit
"If a christian meet a christian go
ing thro' the land,
Just remember he's your brother,
reach to him your hand;
For who can tell but on the morrow,
you and he may stand
Before the great white throne up
yonder, help him all you can.
If a christian get in trouble, going
thro the land,
Don't condemn the weaker brother,
help him all you can;
For who can tell what great tempta
tions press around the man?
He needs the help of christian friends
give him all you can.
If you meet soul discouraged, going
thro' the land
Show to him God's word of promise,
cheer him all you can;
For deeds and words in kindness glv
en men the broken strand, .
A little help when one is drowning,
often saves the man.
Would you have a home up yonder,
in the better land.
Do to others as you'd have them, do
to you, my man
And when the Master comes for Jew
els, searching thro' the land.
He'll take they weary, faithful Spirit
Home to Beulah Land."
A very strong sermon was preach
ed last Sunday afternoon to men only.
The house was packed with men who
gave closest attention and applauded
over and over the Evangelist's re
marks. When Shannon got through
none of them doubted Shannon's
friendship for them. He. said as fol
lows: "My subject this afternoon Is a'A
Fast Run on the Black valley Rail
road.' "God as ruler of the Universe, has
placed all things under law and or
der. The planets obey the law of
gravitation. Animals are governed
by the law of Instinct. Man is under
the moral law. Man has a will, he can
defy God and break his laws but de
vine law opposed worketh destruction.
The engineer is responsible for the
way he runs his train. So man is re
sponsible for the way he lives. Every
man must give an acount of himself
to God. Every man takes his own
hide to market. There are two roads
a man can travel the broad way
which leadeth to shame and death, or
the narrow path which endB in glory
and life.
The broad way may well be termed
the Black Valley Railroad.

Striking Scenes from sermon.
The saloon keeper Is no more to
society than a tick Is to a sheep, In
whose wool it warms Itself and whose
life blood it sucks away.
Saloon keepers talk of patriotism.'
They spell It pat-riotlsm. An Ameri
can flag in front of a saloon is an be
coming as a white shirt on a hog.
It takes two years to transform a
savage into a citizen. The saloon
changes a citizen into a savage in two
hours. Booze makes a man look like
the signs In front of a butcher shop
"Dressed Beef," "Dressed Hog."
Whiskey will give a man a throat
like a fish, a face like a hog, and a
head like a mule.
Some of the buck wart politicians
talk about statesmanship. They give
me a pain in the left hind leg. The
statesman is the man who works for
the good of his country and the peo
ple he represents. The politician is
the skin flint who works for himself.
Some politicians are like dough eas
ily moulded by public opinion. Let
them boast of lining up to the bar a
thousand times. Paul, speaking of
such men, said: Phi. 3-19. "Whose
evil is destruction, whose God is their
belly and whose glory is their shame."
The Saloon A Bar.
A bar to Heaven, a door to Hell,
Whoever named it, named it well.
A bar to manliness and wealth
A door to want and broken health.
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin, and grief and shame.
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer,
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife.
A bar to all that's true and brave,
A door to want and pauper's grave.
A bar to joy that home imports,
A door to tears and aching hearts.
A bar to Heaven, a door to Hell,
Whoever named it, named It well.
Some public men have no more
back bone than a fish worm. If you
can't churn the cream of a man's com
mon ne It's because he's a clabber
bead. No need to ask some men to
be moral, they have no morals.

Louis Warner Missing.
Louis Warner, a farmer who for tlio
last two years has been living about
12 miles from Molalla Corners, is
missing, and noarly , every man in
that section of the country is in
search of him.
Warner went out to salt his oattle,
about four miles from hii honjo, and
he failed to xeturn. Th'ioot prints
of his horse were'tracked a portion of
the distance, when thnr were lost.
The oountry is very wild, and it is
feared that Warner met with au acci
dent. He has been living with his
granddaughter.
The body of Louis Warner, a farmer
who for the last two years has been
living about 12 miles from Molalla
Corners, was found Sunday afternoon
near the Scott cabin on Pine creek.
Warner went out to salt his cattle,
about four miles from his home a few
days ago, and as ho failed to return, a
search was instituted. The hoof
prints of his horse were- tracked a
portion of the distance, whou they
were lost.
When found, Warner's lioad was
badly crushed, indicating that he had
fallen from his horse, and the beast
had accidentally stepped on him. The
fact that the riderless howe wus found
Saturday helps to sustain this theory.
Waruur was about 05 years ot age,
and is survived by a sou, 'who resides
in Hillsboro.
