Harry' Wick's son Frank- Tried to Mount car in Motion and Fell Under Wheels. Wednesday morning, the melan choly intelligence ran through Cor vallis that Frank, the 14-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wicks, for years residents of Co v'allis, had been killed by a train. The family resides now in Albany. Frank had gorie for a day i on a visit to Millersburg, the next station north of Albany, and while attempting to mount a moving freight train for the return home, fell under the whee's and was instantly killed. The funeral occurred in Albany yesterday afteijioon, and Mrs. Humbei t, an old Corvallis friend of the lamily, conducted the serv ice. Mrs. McFadden, Mrs. How ard, Mrs. Skelton, and other Cor vallis fr? ds attended the obse quies. The account of the accid ent is told as follows by the Albany Democrat: "The train was going between fifteen and twenty miles an hour. Young Wicks attempted to catch a ladder on the fourth car from the end, missed his hold,, was thrown under the car and v mangled to pieces. His companion, rushed for assistance, and a telephone mes sage sent to Albany. The train men did not know of the accident until notified at the depot, and of course are blameless. The conduct or went back after the body and brought it to the city where Coron er Fortmiller and a jury consisting of A. W. Bowersox, Robert Mur phy, E. G, Cummings, H. A. Hull, C. P. Fortmillor and Fred Hockspier last evening and this morning investigated the case, find ing that death was caused by ac cident, the fault of the deceased The testimony of the Harland boy was that when the train whist led they went to the platform at the station, without intending to get on, and were standing there, when the Wicks boy, on the impulse sud denly said come on. and the next thing the Harland boy saw was voung Wicks under the middle of the train and the wheels running over him, he having attempted to get on the car by the ladder at the front end. Frank Wicks was 14 years age, and a boy ot excellent char acter. He had sold sandwiches ard coffee at the depot during the past year, accumulating it is said nearly $500, probably doing the largest business of any boy. as he met all the trains, even the late overland and early morniue trains. He at tended school regularly, and wa3 good boy at home. CONDEMNS CHRIST. And Denys God's Wisdom Ex-Preacher Says Local Option Law Does. A preacher, so-called at least, de fending saloons and the saloon busi ness before an audience, was a spectacle in the circuit court room last night. An audience of 80 to 00 people was present, and was unquestionably interested, if for no other reason, because of the nov elty of the occasion. -Probably un til the advent of the person in question, no preacher ever declared saloons to have the sanctioa of Jesus Christ, and that any effort to prevent saloons and the saloon busi ness is an assault on Christ himself and a quesiioning of the wisdom of the Lord Almighty. A doctrine like that, announced and stouUy defended as the gospel of the Bible is obviously in the nature of a sur prise to those accustomed from childhood to the orthodox, and in consequence, all the speaker said was listened to with deep attention, by some of course with unexpressed derision, by others with reverential and rapt appreciation. ; Was a Preacher in Kentucky. The speaker was Rev, H. M; Street. He is from Prineville, and is reputed to be, or at least to have been, a preacher in the Christian church. He averred himself dur ing his lecture as he called it, to have been until recently, a regular ly licensed preacher, and to have spent many years in saying souls. Incidents that he related of his min isterial career had their scenes laid in Kentucky. Others occurred while he was a preacher in Arkans-. as. He admitted thBt a gulf now exists between him and his former brethern, and declared that he is in the right and they in the wrong. He said, "it is a very remarkable step for a man to deny the things that for years he has preached, but that such is the situation in which now find myself", and that ob viously he expects determined op position from his former brethren. His lecture, he said, is the product of conscience and two years study. 1 His mission in the present work, he said, is to do all he can to defeat operation of the local option law. Of course, a primary effort in his campaign, is to make sentiment for the Jayne bill, which the Whole sale Liquor Dealers Association has pending for adoption by the voters under the initiative at the June el ection. He says he is not paid by the liquor men for making his cam paign, and that he is depending upon voluntary contributions for his remuneration. The hat was passed at the end of the address, J. K. Berry and F. Hopkins, taking up the collection. Something like $3 or $4 was contributed. draws a salary from them. He Quoted Much Scripture. In was in the realm of the scrip tures however, that "Rev." Street made his main argument. He quoted many a passage from the Bible with reference to wine. "Drink ye no longer water, but take a little wine for the stomach's sake," was one of the passages on which he relied for justification of his position. He told of the in cident in the Bible where Christ made six vessels of water into as many vessels of wine at a marriage age feast. "Out of the heart cometh blasphemy" and in kind red wickedness was a passage that was held up as proving that iniq uity comes "from the heart" and not from "bad whiskey."' Jesus Christ was put forward in as many places as possible as using and countenancing the use of wine, but with all his agility the speaker failed to locate 'he "redeemer of mankind behind a bar, or in a sa loon or justifying a saloon." After summing up all his bibical quota tions he closed his address with the declaration, "I am opposed to this local option law because it is a con demnotion of ihe teachings of Jesus Christ and 2. denial of the wisdom of Almighty God." ! Nobody presided at the meeting. Mr. Street introduced himself. Mike Kline and a number of his friends were consp cuous on the front seat at the meeting, an active before hand inviting people out to , the lecture. Several ministers and a dozen ladies were in the audience. Among those present were: ; Willis Vidito. Joe Yates, Mike Kline, Walter Kline, Jack Milne. T. Cams, Wm. Nixon, A. Austin, A.

He in sisted that the local law is a 'pow erful sign of this intolerance. He ascribed the whole local option in movement to the church, and abus ed the church roundly for defend ing a law that so interfered with the rights of men. Lust of gold, he said, is the root of all evil. There are 2,000 mil lionaires in the church. More times it is the lust of gold that is res sponsible for a crime, when in fact the churchmen cry out that it is whiskey that cause the crime. Many a tragedy he declared and many a shortcoming is ascribed to whiskey, in which whiskey has had nothing to do. One time when he was conduct ing a meeting in JientucKy, ne said, nearly all the girls in the neighborhood were becoming con verted, which meant that the dan cing parties would be interfered with. So the young men held a council of war and determined to break up the meeting. They sent to town for whiskey and the next night, after imbibing enough of the whiskey to make their hearts stout, they took fence rails and smashed in all the windows. It was cold weather there, and because the windows were out no more meet ings could be held. "'They said whiskey caused those young men to interfere with that meeting, but was it whiskey?" cried the speaker. "The fathers and mothers of those young men were members of the church and, ignoring the council held beforehand, they laid all that proceeding at the door of whiskey. It was whiskey that was made the scape goat, and so many a time in human experience, whiskey , is blamed when it isn't whiskey at all concluded the orator, appearing in the guise of -champion of the "crayther" with a fervor that would have been soul delighting to the Wholesale Livuor Dealers, regard less of whether or not Mr. Street Corvallis & Eastern RAILROAD TIME CARD 31 No 2 for Yaquina Leaves Albany 12:45 p- m- Leaves Corvallis .. . 1:45 P- m Arrives yaquina 0:00 p. m No 1 Returning .Leaves vaqmna 0.45 a. m Leaves Corvallis 11:30 a. m Arrives Albany 12:15 p. in jno 3 tor Aibanv-uetroit weaves AiDany lor .uetroit. . 7:30 a. m Arrrve Detroit 12:30 p. m Xso 4 irom Detroit leaves Detroit 1:00 p. m Arrive Albany 6;oo p. m ISO 5 tor Albany Leaves Corvallis 6:30 a. m Arrive AiDanv 7:10 a. m No 8 for Corvallis Leaves Albany 7:05 a. m Arrives Corvallis 8 130 a. in No 7 for A lbany Leaves uorvaius 6:00 p. m Arrive Albany 6:40 p. m Ho 6 lor Corvallis Leaves Albany 7:35 p. m Arrives UorvalUs 8:15 p. m No 9 for Albany Leaves ucrvallis 12:40 p. m Aruves Albany 1:25 r. m No 10 lor Uorvallis Leaves Albany 2:30 p.
