On Tut'H'liiy of hint weok, one of the inoHt fji-ii'iiHh iiiiirilom that ever ditrk eried the hintory of Oregon, wan comitted. Lluyd MontKomiiry fhot and killed IiIh father and mother and a neighbor, Daniol Mc Kerclier, near lirowimville, Linn county, Youiik Montgomery ia certainly a brute and moiiHlrohity of the Durrant Htripe, and it In unwtfe to allow hlin to exixt. ItHt Kunday Montgomery wan prevailed ujon by Bhnriir McFerron at Albany, to make a partial confepnion. All day taut Monday the prinonxr appeared to be In a diHtresseJ etate of mind, and in the ereninjj. an Albany Herald repre sentative obtained a complete confi-HHion from liiin, which in aubatantiatly an fol low, told between fit of weeping in an swer to (iuentloninK : Oh, if I only had it to do over aijain ; I don't know what made me do it." "McKerclier asked father how he wan fixed for money, that he would like to get a few dollars father owed him. They were talking about that, and were speaking in a friendly manner, Mc Kerclier asked tor a drink of water and I got it for him." We were quarreling, lather and I. Father commenced going after me for going away from home and neglecting work. He had always abutted me. Mc Kerclier sided in with father while we were quarreling. Father aaked me where I had been. I told him I had been hunting. Then be slapped me in the face and told me to go and cut some wood. This made me so angry I did not know what I was doing. I went into tha house anj got father's rifle. It was in the bedroom. I came out and stood in the kitchen door. Father and Mc-1 Kercher were still standing by the fence j talking and mother was standing near i by in the yard." I wan so excited that I don't know just bow they were standing. I shot father flrat. Then mother and Mc Kerchor started to run toward the house. I shot at McKerclier and missed him the first time. I jumped out of the door way where I was standinz and ran around the house toward the' front porch. McKerclier was just going through the door. I was still standing on the ground when I shot him. He fell near the door inside the house and I stepped upon the porch. Mother was running from me through the lioune." Here he broke down and sobbed : "I don't know what made me do it. 1 just got to ehooting and kept on until I shot them all. I had no idea of killing them until I got so mad and then I didn't know what I was doing until it was all over." "No: I don't know that I placed the nun on McKercher's body for the pur pose of directing suspicion to him. I don't know why I did that. I just laid the gun down and ran. My first thought was to get away. I ran out in the field for a short, but saw the children nearby coming homo from school and came back with them. It was futher'g rifle I ti Bed the same one I had taken hunting. It was a Winchester. I shor five times." "I hud worked hard all my life, and my father always treated me mean and abused me." The prisoner said he had a violent temper and was easily angered, and ad ded: "When my father slapped me it made me so angry I did not know what I was doing." The prisonor said be was 18 years old in August last. His miseiable confes sion, told in a halting, distressed man nor, with frequent outbursts of weeping, could not but excite pity, yet this is overshadowed by the enormity of the crime committed by ilie young monster in shooting his father and McKerclier without warning, and then shooting his mother twice as she was fleeing from him and begging for her life, with no other apparent motive than that in spired by his ungovernable temper and furious anger aroused in the quarrel with his father over a trivial matter. Christmas and Chrysanthemums. When stately chrysanthemums are in their prime, Christmas thoughts are in the air; and the happy combination of both in Demorest's Magazine for Decem ber makes it an ideal Christmas number, rage after page of handsome illustrations depict various phases of Christmas pleasures, and a timely article on "The Infant Christ in Legend and Art," em bellished with numerous and beautiful reproductions of the Madonnas by modern painters, give some curious legends about the Christ-child, and in all the religions of the East. There is a superbly illustrated paper on the Atlanta Exposition; stories by Gilbert Parker and Joseph Hatton are among the fiction ; there are Christmas poems, and lots ot suggestions about Christmas gifts and entertainments, and every one of the departments is replete with timely and valuable information. In addition to all this, there is the beautiful picture of "Chrysanthemums," a perfect re production of the water-color by the eminent artist Paul de Longpre, which is given as a Christmas supplement. Everyone who possesses the lovely, "Yard of Pennies" and "Yard of Roses" surpassed for decorative effect; and any one may obtain it, also a Iecembr number of Demorest's by cutting out this notice anil sending it with twenty cents in stamps to the address below. The original painting of ''Chrysanthe mums,," which is valued at $1,000, is to be given to the person who, previous to April 1, 18JXI, obtains for Demorest's Magazine the greatest number of sub scribers.

From a letter written bv Rev, J. Gun dersou, of Dimor.dale, Mich., we are per mitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitancy in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were al most marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seems as if she could not survive them. A friend reccommended D. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results." Trial bottles free at Charman & Go's , Char ui a ti Bros. Block.

You (iet Strong, If you're a tired-out or "run-down" woman, with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription. And if you suffer from any "female complaint" or disorder, you get well. For these two things to build up women's strength, and to cure women's ailments this is the only medicine which, once used, is always in favor. Therefore, nothing else can be "just as good" for you to buy. The "Prescrip tion" regulates and promotes all the natural functions, never conflicts with them, and is perfectly harmless in any condition ot the female system. It im proves digestion, enriches the blood, brings refreshing sleep, and restores health and vigor.
