DEFEAT F0RU. S. SENATORSHIP
One of the Earllcxt Methodist Mis-

Pacific Christian Advocate
An Ablo Man.
The Rev. -Thomas- H. Pearne. ivhose
death at Cincinnati Sunday night was
announced yesterday, was one of the pio
neer missionaries to Oregon, and, also de
serves a place in the early history of the
state for the vigorous and pronounced
stand that he took during the Civil "War,
for the -Union and the Administration of
Abraham Lincoln. He Is also well known
for his connection with the 'political his
tory of the state, having "Been an active
candidate for the United States Senate in
1S64 against ex-Senator George H. Will
iams, the latter having been elected after
a close contest. The Hev. Mr. Pearne was
one ..of the most active missionaries of
the Methodist Church, and for 64 years
of his life he served the church In vari
ous capacities, as well as occupying a po
litical position, during the first Adminis
tration, of President Grant as United
States Consul to .Kingston; Jamaica.
Defeated for United States Senator.
Recalling reminiscences of Mr. Pearne,
his . one-time political opponent, Judge
George H. "Williams, said yesterday:
"The Rev. Thomas H. Pearne was an
able and an honorable man, and to my
mind the ablest minister and the best
speaker that the ,Methodicts ever .sent to
Oregon. He was an active and vigorous
man, full of energy, and he took a bold
and determined stand In favor of the
Union and the Administration or Presi
dent Lincoln during the war. He was
recognized as a force in politics before
ever he became a candidate for the Sena,
torship. In the campaign of 1S64 we were
both avowed candidates for that office.
The campaign was conducted in a perfect
ly fair and friendly fashion. Neither one
of Us- spent any money, as neither one
of. us had any, and if the choice "had fallen
on Mr. Pearne, the state would have had
an able man In the office. "We took the
stump during the campaign for,. the re
election of President Lincoln, and our relations-
were always friendly.
"There was no political divergence be
tween "us. "We were both Republicans,
and had taken part in the formation of
the Union patty. The only difference be
tween us was that he had come into that
party from the "Whigs, and I from the
Democrats, and naturally he expected to
draw the votes of the old-line "Whigs and
I to do the same from the Democrats.
Pearne was, of course, strongly supported
by the clergy of the Methodist Church,
although there were others who advised
him not to run. "Wfien the Legislature
met we left It all to them, and the mem
bers finally selected me for the position,
for one Teason because my training had
been legal and because I had more famil
iarity with political affairs.
"Personally he was affable and genial,
and made friends easily, and was a man
of great force of character. He left Ore
gon in 1S64 to 'take a vacation,, as I re
member it, going to Tennessee, then to
Jamaica, and later to Ohio. My relations
with him were always most pleasant,
and, as I say, I always had the highest
opinion of his ability."
The election for the United States Sena.
torship decided in favor of Judge "Will
lams occurred September 15, 1S64, an ac
count of which appears In The Morning
Qregonian of September 16. Judge "Will
iams was elected on the third ballot.
The first ballot stood: For"WlIliams, 27;
for Pearne, 20; scattering, S. The second
ballot was the same. "On the third vote,"
says The" Oregonlan, ."Palmer, Mitchell,
Turner and Colt vpted for "Williams, giv
ing him 31 votes and the election." They
had. previously voted for Pearne. Mr.
Mitchell, referred to, is Senator John H.
Mitchell, who was then President of the
Senate.
His Political Career.
Those were the stirring days of politics
in Oregon, as well as the Nation. Com
ing to Oregon in October, 1S51, as a mis
sionary, he entered quickly into the spirit
of .the vigorous pioneer days. Mr. Pearne
himself describes the work of the mis
sionaries: "We bad long horseback rides, with
rivers to ford and swim, making the work
hard and perilous. But we had kind, hos.
pltablfc.. treatment, excellent meetings, and
some success."
At the Oregon Missionary Conference,
Held in Portland In November, 1851, he
was" appointed presiding elder of the
Mary's River district, including, among
other places, Albany, Eugene, Roseburg
and Jacksonville. He took up his resi
dence in Salem.
In 1S54 It was determined by the preach
ers and laymen of Methodism in Oregon
to issue a weekly religious paper. Mr.
Pearne was Selected as its first editor,
and the paper made Its first appearance
September 5, 1S55, in Salem. The paper
fulfilled a high and important mission.
It ably espoused the free-state cause
Tphen-thitfansttution of Oregon was
formed and adopted. Then, when the se
cession spirit was rife and a- faction of
the Democratf6 party tried to swing Cali
fornia find Oregon Into the movement,
Editor Pearne was vigorous In his es
pousal of the Union cause. He not only
wrote editorials, but In pulpit and on the
stump he made his influence felt.
Because of the stand he took In favor
of the free-state party he was sent as
chairman of the Oregon delegation t6 the
Republican National Convention, which
met In Baltimore In 1S64. and renominated
Lincoln. Mr. Pearne tells of his part In
the stampede of the convention for An
drew Johnson for Vice-President:
"Before the chair announced the result
of th,e vote for "Vice-President, I said to
our delegation, who had voted for Schuy
ler Colfax, 'If we change our vote to
Johnson or to Dickinson, other 6tates
will fall In line, and the man we vote for
will be nominated.
"After a brief moment, they said, 'Let
us vote for Johnson."
"I arose and said, 'Oregon changes her
vote from Schuyler Colfax to Andrew
Johnson.'
"The example was contagious. In a few
minutes Johnson was nominated."
Mr. Pearne was one of the committee
tq. .notify Mr. Lincoln of his renomina
tlon.Vdn which occasion President Lin
coln told his visitors the story of the
Irishman who refused to swap horses
while crossing a stream.
Fight for the Union Canse.
"Mr. Pearne. In his book, "Sixty-one
Tears' of Itinerant Christian Life." re
fer .as follows to his, fight for the Union
cause:
"When South Carolina seceded, and
state after state was falling into line and
swinging out of the Union, I took a very
prominent and determined position in fa
vdr of the Union. There were a large
number of persons who were opposed to
coercion to Tetaln states In the Union;
others were in favor of the secession of
the states. The politicians were afraid to
strike out for the Union. I took thB
ground that every true man and true
patriot must stand by the Union, even if
it came to war. I preached a sermon in
Portland on the duty of Christian loy,
alty, from the words of Jesus: 'Render
unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's,
and unto God the things that are God's.'
An Immense crowd heard 1L The house
was crowded and hundreds could not get
In; but they thronged the doors and win
dows. One man, a neighbor and an old
man of TO, climbed out over the back
seat and went out swearing that he
would like to hang that black Re
publican to the first lamp-post. He had
held Federal offices nearly alL his life
time. I made the Advocate ring out for
the Union, and I took the stump In. favor
of the Union. The politicians recovered
the use of their tongues when they saw
the tide setting In for the flag and the
Union.
"It was doubtless owing to my activity
in this behalf that attention was turned
to me as a proper person to be elected
United States Senator; and that induced
the people to elect a majority in favor
of my selection for that high office. It
was a great blessing for me that the
movement dld( not succeed. My life, has
been happier, and probably more useful,
as a minister, than it could have been
In another line."
He closed one of his sermons with the
following peroration:
"We may and we should unite as a
people to render praise to God that we
live to mingle in such a strife; that we
are permitted to feel the Impulses of
this divine patriotism, and. td share In
the glory of that inexpressible victory,
when, not in theory only, but in deed and
truth we, as a nation, shall have wrought
and fought out and maintained, by God's
blessing upon our patriotism and our
arms, that glorious truth, 'Liberty and
Union, one and Inseparable, now and for
ever.' " This was In his Thanksgiving
sermon of November 27, 1862.
Mr. Pearne left Oregon April 1, 1864, to
attend the General Conference at Phila
delphia. He had obtained a year's leave

The late Thomas H. Pearne.
of absence, primarily to" do some work 'at
the front in ministering to the sick and
wounded soldiers. His nine years' term
as editor of the Advocate had expired
and he had declined re-election. In 1865
he made nls way to the front as a dele
gate of the Christian Commission. Two
months he spent in ministering to the
spiritual and often physical comfort of
the wounded in the field hospitals and
on -the battle-field.
In Tennessee.
At -tie close of the war he attended
the celebrated Holston conference of the
Methodist churchr in which the seceded
branch of the church was reconstructed.
Mr. Pearne was afterwards stationed at
Knoxvllle. Tenn., where he found the bit
ter Southern feeling toward Northerners
and abolitionists such as to make his
career there full of excitement and
danger. He was fired at, and waylaid
and beaten by roughs. On one occasion
he was Informed that an attempt was
to be made to break up his meeting, and
that If he attempted to hold e meeting
he would be killed. Mr. Pearne describes
the Incident:
"I entered the church and kneeled down,
as usual, to offer a brief prayer; and then
I stated to the large audience that I had
been informed that I would not be allowed
to hold a religious meeting there, but that
I hoped that the Information was not
true. I had no other purpose than kind
ness in coming; and that freedom of
speecn was a right I was not willing to
surrender. I should hold the meeting, I
said, and if molested I was prepared to
defend myself. I displayed my revolver
and laid It down before me. I then pro
ceeded with the meeting without inter
ruption." After five years" vigorous work in the
South he became enfeebled in health, and
his appointment as United States Consul
at Kingston, Jamaica, wae designed to
give him recreation. He served there
until 1873, and a year later became a mem
ber of the Cincinnati Conference, serving
in various large churches In Ohio. He
was SI years old and had been a minister
since 1837. when as a 15-year-old boy he
felt called to the service.
Estimates of Contemporaries.
Rev. O. N. Doane, D. D who came to
Oregon before Dr. Pearne, was stationed
at Oregon City when the latter arrived.
Dr. Doane lives In retirement at Ports
mouth, and is the second oldest minister
In the state. In speaking of Dr. Pearne
yesterday he said:
"Dr. Pearne was a highly educated and
cultured man. He had been sent out to
Oregon by the New York mission with
out definite mission and waited the ac
tion of the conference to define his duties.
He was made presiding elder of a large
district, -which extended from Puget
Sound to Southern Oregon, and also In
cluded Walla Walla. All this district was
under the general charge of William
Roberts as superintendent. He was a
prominent and very ambitious man. He
was also very frank about his ambition.
For a long time he wanted to be elected
to the Senate. He traveled over the state
and made speeches. Also he frankly said
he was a candidate for the election of
bishop, but he never reached any of these
positions. Governor Abernethy once re
marked to me that he regarded Pearne
as one of the ablest and most prominent
men in the state. Pearne was an im
portant factor in the early history of
Methodism In this state, and its record
would be incomplete without his name.
As first editor of the Advocate he ex
erted a considerable power. He was a
strong writer and a, man of ability."
"I know the Rev. Thomas Pearne very
well," said Rev. J. W. Miller, a pioneer
minister at 629 East Ankeny street. "He
was one of the strong men of the early
days and my presiding elder. At one time
Oregon and Washington and California
were one conference district, but it was
found too large for one man, and Mr.
Pearne was sent out to take part of the
district He was prominent in the af
fairs of the church and was the first ed
itor of the Pacific Christian Advocate.
Mr. Pearne was an effective platform
speaker and considerable of a politician,
and very ambitious. His style of address
ing audiences was very taking with the
Westerners. He was full of action on
the platform. While speaking he would
rise on his tip-toes and then come down
on his heeels with a crash. His gestures
were full of energy and action. While
he was popular In the state, there was a
prejudice against a minister taking a
hand in politics. While he remained In
Oregon he was a force In and out of the
church-"

CARE OF INDIGENT SICK
MULTNOMAH COUNTY FOOTS ALL
THE BILLS.
Informal Report of Large Savings by
Sending Every Patient to the
County Hospital.
The City of Portland has turned over to
Multnomah County all of Its indigent sick,
and the patients are being well taken
care of at much less expense than form
erly. When the present County Physician,
Dr. McKay, took office, he was notified
by the County Commissioners that the ex
pense of caring for the sick poor must be
cut down materially. Previous to that
time, many of the Indigent sick were sent
to private hospitals in the city, the bills
for their dare being paid monthly by the
County Commissioners, and these bills
would run 'up to S1000 a month, quite fre
quently. As a contrast the total bills
against the city and countr last month
amounted to but $2 40, according to Dr.
McKay, who was spoken to on the sub
ject yesterday afternoon.
"There are at present 60 patients at the
County Hospital, which is a separate in
stitution from the Poor Farm," Dr. Mc
Kay said, "and they are given the best
possible care, although the buildings are
not those of a first-class hospital, and
additional room is needed. City police
cases, which were formerly taken to the
private hospitals, are now takvn to the
county institution, the county standing all
the expense. An ambulance is an adjunct
of the County Hospital, and is always
within telephone call. State cases, which
are those of strangers from Washington
or California, are taken care of at the
expense of the state, which pays 60 cents
a day for their keep. There are several
of these cases now at the hospital, and
the sum paid for their maintenance just
about pays for their care.
"One result of all indigent sick being
sent to the County Hospital Is the dis
covery that a certain proportion of the
patients have means, or have friends, who
will pay their way In the private hos
pitals of the city, rather than have them
sent to the County Hospital. Quite a ma
terial saving to the taxpayers has been
effected in this way. One bill of 13 60 from
a private hospital last month I shall de
cline to 'O. K.,' as the patient was an
expressman, whose horse ran away with
him, and who is financially able to pay his
own bills.
"There were 430 cases taken care of at
the County Hospital during the 12 months
ending June 1, 1301, and I think this num
ber will be materially Increased during the
present fiscal year, as the city author
ities have recently declined to handle any
but contagious diseases, declaring there
was no money available for the care of
the indigent sick. This adds considerable
to my work at the County Hospital, and
I am almost constantly employed there.
"The hospital is divided Into wards for
the better classification of the Inmates.
There Is a fever ward, a ward for surg
ical cases, a woman's ward, a maternity
ward, a baby ward. In this latter con
nection there are several likely babies
ready for adoption by responsible parties
who desire to bring up a friendless little
one.
"The hospital obtains Its milk, eggs,
vegetables, etc., from the County Poor
Farm, which produces an abundance of
these essentials, and thus cuts down the
provision bills considerably, besides as
suring the sick ones the advantage of
a fresh and wholesome diet." Dr. Mc
Kay's annual report will be presented the
County Commissioners within a few days.
GRAND JURY CALLED.
Several Matters the District Attor
ney Wishes Examined.
A grand jury was called yesterday by
Judge Frazer. District Attorney Cham
berlain states that among other duties the
grand jury will be asked to investigate
the gambling question.
Mr. Chamberlain, speaking upon the
subject, said: "I thought it would be
advisable to call a grand jury to look
Into things a little. There has been con-
siaeraoie taiK by ministers about gam
bling and other matters, and the grand
jury ca"n make an inquiry and ascertain
if the officers have been doing right. I
want. U?e grand jury to investigate the
Von Gruenigen case carefully. There
have been some complaints concerning
persons selling liquor at Gresham with
out license. I have cases all pretty well
up to date, but the grand Jury may make
some bublness."
The grand Jury Is composed of the fol
lowing named persons: P. S. Malcolm,
foreman, S. W. Aldrlch, T. J. Concan
non, C. Grltzmacher, Fred Jennings,
George F. Merrill and W. S, Falling.
Dr. A. Von Gruenigen killed Fred
Berstecher in a quarrel about a month
ago. The verdict of the coroner's jury
favored the self-defense theory. The Dis
trlct Attorney afterwards consented to
the release of Dr. Von Gruenigen on
bonds, and has since made every effort
to obtain all the facts throwing any light
upon the case. Mr. Chamberlain seems
to think the best plan Is to permit the
grand jury to hear the evidence and de
cide what course Is best to pursue, to
dismiss the case or return an indictment.
Ask for a Nonsuit.
The case of Ida M. Duntley against
Inman, Poulsen & Co. to recover 55000
damages because of the death by accident
of her husband, Marcus H. Duntley, at
defendant's sawmill, was on trial before
Judge Sears yesterday. In the afternoon
a motion of defendant for a nonsuit was
argued, and will be passed upon this
morning. Duntley was working at the
planing machine and on August 25, 1900,
was caught on a belt and whirled
through the machinery at a rapid rate.
He was badly bruised and torn, and died
from the effects of his Injuries within a
few hours. The evidence disclosed that
Duntley was moving a loose belt to a
tight pulley, and the force of 'the ma
chinery broke a defective pulley and the
belt became wrapped around him. The
defense is that there was no negligence
on the part of the defendants; that Dunt
ley was familiar with his employment,
having been in the mill for two years,
and assumed the ordinary risks, and it
was an unavoidable accident so far as
Inman, Poulsen & Co. were concerned,
for which they are not liable. Henry E.
McGinn and V. K. Strode appear for the
plaintiff and Rufus Mallory and John M.
Gearin for the defense.
Jnrors Getting: Scarcer.
The difficulty in obtaining regular panel
jurors for the State Circuit Court still
continues to exist At the beginning df
the May term 43 citizens were subpenaed
to act as jurors, and most of them were
excused by request for various reasons.
Last week a special venire for 25 tax
payers was Issued to fill up the. Jury
panel, and still excepting the grand jury
of seven persons, there remain but 22
names on the jury list. Of the special
venire the following were" excused for
the term by Judge Frazer yesterday, on
making good excuses: George W. Law
rence, C. W. Nottingham. Fred New
bauer, George L. Barton, Fred T. Boody,
Louis Sauer and William O'Malley.
The following were not served: Henry
Jennings, E. E. Laycock, J. E. Griffin,
Alex Anderson, J. O. Leary. T. J. O'Con
nor, George A. Brown.
Those willing to serve were I. G. Bills,
Asa IC Richardson, Henry Albert, Henry
Llebe, J. R. Butenschoen, E. J. Jeffrey

May Try Agraln.
In the suit of Llllie Myrtle Montour by
her mother, Helen Montour, as guardian,
against the A. O. U. W., to recover $2000
Insurance on the life of her father, Daniel
Montour, deceased, A. K.-Sargent, attor
ney for the plaintiff, asked for and was
granted a voluntary nonsuit by Judge
George yesterday. At a trial of the case
about a year ago a verdict for the full
amount was returned and the Supreme
Court set the Judgment aside. The Su
premo Court as nart of Its decision held
J that Daniel Montour signed T an appllca-
tlon for a medical examination, which
I amounted to an application for reln-
oiaiciucm una ine loage, noiwiinstanamg
it was contended that Monour was at that
time a member in good standing. This
supported the contention of the defend
ant that Montour was oUt of the lodge,
and asked to be reinstated, and further
that he was not reinstated, and accord
ingly the lodge was not liable for any
Insurance. It was also contended that
the claimants should exhaust their rem-'
edy in the order before going into court.
Judge George could not do otherwise
than uphold the decision of the Supreme
Court, and the attorney could do nothing
but dismiss the suit. He may try to
bring the case anew if he can find any
way to overcome this point.

GOT OUT.
The Food CHre Brought Her Out
"With Flying Color's.
A lady in Laurence, Ind., Mrs. M. C.
Waring, was a poor Judge of food and
also a worker In literary and educational
lines where she exhausted her vitality
because of the bad. combination of a load
of work and poorly selected food to re
build her
She was using hot cakes for breakfast,
meat, coffee, etc., and gradually lost
ground until she became a total wreck.
She says, "I was so reduced that the
slightest noise brought a cold perspira
tion all over me. Sleep was out of the
question and my appetite was gone. I
was apprehensive of all sorts of disaster.
I became really very 111. I was on the
verge of losing my mind when one day a
friend who sat at my bedside remark
ed that she would bring me something
nice to eat.
"Sure enough when -she came over she
had a dainty luncheon on a tray with
prettily decorated china dishes, etc. A
cup held some coffee, as I supposed, and
a dish held some hard, brown granules,
and she told me that was Grape-Nuts
Food, whereas the liquid was Postum
Coffee.
"I liked the taste of the Grape-Nuts
with a little cream and ate all of it. After
some persuasion I drank the Postum
Coffee and that night was the roost
peaceful night I had enjoyed In months,
and when I awakened In the morning I
found the Grape-Nuts package on the
table inear my bed, and I had some for
breakfast with some Postum Coffee.
"I at once began to feel better and dis
carded all kinds of medicine, stimulants,
narcotics, and used only Grape-Nuts
four times a day with Postum Coffee. At
the end of thirty days I left my bed and
after three months building up on Grape
Nuts Food and the famous Postum, I
have taken up my literary work, work
ing harder than ever making up for lost
time.
"Mental strains have no more terrors
for me. I keep my mental faculties
clear. All my Inner organs have become
clear and healthy so I never know I
have any. yet I work and study sixteen
hours out of the twenty-four on an aver
age. I often wonder what has become
of those dreadful nerves. Things that
formerly disturbed me now seem trifles.
"A healthy body is a happy body, so I
go about singing and happy, come sun
shine or rain Grape-Nuts and Postum
lifted me out of a sick bed, and Grape
Nuts Food has since brought my little
daughter through a severe case of scar
let fever. rape-Nuts was the only
food she could take and the doctor said
she would have died had It not been for
the nourishment given her by Grape
Nuts Food. Do you wonder we believe
In the famous food?"
There Is a reason why the Postum
Coffee and Grape-Nuts are powers of
strength In times of trouble. Anyone can
learn the fact and -the reason if- they
care to make a searching inquiry. The
Company furnish the details, but it is
sufficient to most people to know that
whereas-they have been poorly treated,
and perhaps wrecked with disease from
Improper food, the change to Grape-Nuts
and Postum has made them well.
