EVERY DOLLAR IS PAID
CHERISHED WISH OP JOHX MTE11S
CARRIED OUT.
Sefnnct Eat Side Banlc Settles With
Depositors After Its President
Is Dead Notes.
The last -wish and cherished Intentions
of Honest John Myers, the president and
manager of the Commercial and Sav
ings Bank, of the East Side, whose doors
were closed during the panic of the hard
times, that every depositor and all debts
of the Institution should be paid In time
in full, have now been fully carried out
by J. E. Hedges, of Oregon City, ad
ministrator of the estate of Mr. Myers.
Tho outcome Is highly creditable to the
management and fidelity with which Mr.
Hedges carried forward the plans of Mr.
Myers in paying depositors and creditors.
At the time the Commercial and Sav
ings Bank closed its assets would have
brought little or nothing had they been
sold out at auction as proposed. At a
meeting of the depositors held In the
office of the bank Mr. Myers made a
proposition to take the assets, also to
throw his own personal fortune into the
scale, and pay off the deposits, amount
ing to something over $S.O00, and the lia
bilities, provided tflat time be given to
realize on the property. There was a
long discussion over the proposition.
Some were opposed to accepting It and
were In favor of "wiping the whole thing
up" at once.
J. S. Foss, and a few of the conserva
tive depositors, urged that the proposi
tion be accepted. This was finally
agreed to and a paper was drawn up
which was signed by John Myers and the
depositors. Mr. Myers then turned his
personal fortune In with the assets, and
at the time of his death was making
progress in liquidation. Mr. Hedges, his
administrator, took up the work, and a
few days ago was around on the East
Side paying off what was left unpaid on
the deposits, the main portion of which
had already been paid. The only loss
that is sustained, if it can be called a
loss, is the interest on the money.
This Is the only bank that failed com
pletely in Portland that has paid out
dollar for dollar J. S. Foss has the or
iginal document binned by John Myers
and the depositors at the time the bank
closed. He expresses great satisfaction
over the final outcome. He says that the
finances have been so managed that the
heirs will receive something.
"PROGRESS OP THE BLACK MAX."
Lecture by a Former Slave, Before
Sumner Pout, G. A. R.
The last meeting of Sumner Post, G. A.
K., was one of the most Interesting held
for a long time, made so by the presence
and lecture by Rev. Mr. Drew, a colored
minister, who -was born in slavery, and
also served as a soldier in the Civil War.
Mr. Drew spoke of the progress the col
ored people have made since the war,
and he declared that what they have ac
complished is one of the most wonderful
achievements of any race during the cen
tury. The speaker set forth the low es
tate and condition of the race just prior
to and Immediately following the war.
"They had. Indeed, looked forward to
freedom," continued Mr. Drew, "but they
had not tho remotest conception of what
It would mean for them. So when the
close of the Rebellion found them free
they were without experience and knew
not what to do nor which way to turn.
Considering their condition then and
what they have accomplished we have a
most icmarkable showing of progress.
"Utterly ignorant then we find now that
a large per cent, of the black people can
read and write. They have made great
progress along these lines. "What race of
people on earth has done as well with
so little to start on? There are some
bad people among them, and possibly
there are some bad people among the
whles as well."
Mr. Drew went on to say that the
slaves In the border states were usually
well treated, but those in the cotton and
cane states, and Texas especially, were
badly treated. The lecture was one of
great interest. Mr. Drew is a very pleas
ing speaker, besides he has given the,
subject very close .study, and is under tho
inpresslon that there Is yet a great des
tiny for the black man. The speaker is
always welcome to a G. A. R. Post meet

Mount Hood Saturday, and among thoso
who went up was an aged man whose
hair was as white as the snow on tho

CASE OF NINA DANFORTH
Massachusetts Authorities Fear She
Will Be Acquitted.
NEW YORK, July 2S. The state author
ities are puzzled as to a satisfactory dis
position of the case of Nina Danfortb,
the deformed girl who killed A. J. Em
ery, and is now m the Cambridge House
of Correction awaiting trial, says a Bos
ton speclil to the Press. Attorney-General
Parker feels that because of the piti
able circumstances of the case a jury
would acquit her. Yet, by her own ad
mission and by the testimony of eye-witnesses,
she killed Emery as he stood in
the doorway of his home in South Fram
Ingham. It Is the fear of having a ver
dict of not guilty which causes the Attorney-General
so much trouble. He is afraid
the traditions of the Massachusetts courts
will be violated by the return of a verdict
In direct opposition to the evidence.
The authorities are said to have at
last reached the conclusion that the best
ending of the case would bo an arrange
ment which the state could accept with
out establishing a bad precedent, and
which would let the girl out of the House
of Correction under restraint or watch
which would not be so close as to threat
en her already weak condition of mind.
This may be accomplished by a verdict
of manslaughter with a light sentence,
from which will be taken the time al
ready spent by the prisoner in the House
of Correction.
Outragre by Cattlemen.
GRAND JUNCTION. Colo., July 23.
Twolve masked men last Sunday night
visited the ranch .of Mrs. Nancy fi-vlng,
the angora sheep breeder located 12 miles
southwest of Grand Junction, and with
guns, clubs and knives deliberately killed
500 Angora does and a large number of
kids. Fully 200 of the does were with
kids, and these are already beginning to
to die for want of nourishment. The herder
who was In charge of the sheep was cov
ered with guns by the perpetrators of the
crime, bound and gagged and then tied to
a post. No clew to the outlaws has yet
been discovered. The loss to Mrs. Irving
will run frdm $CO00 to 5S0C0. Mrs. Irving,
who is a widow, recently received a warn
ing, presumably from cattlemen, to re
move her goats from the Plnon Mesa
range or they would be slaughtered by
the wholesale. Yesterday afternoon she
received another warning that If she did
not remove all of her remaining goats,
numbering over COO, from tho Mesa they
would be killed. Mrs. Irving has appealed
to the County Commissioners for protec
tion, and tho Sheriff has started an in
vestigation. Xo Trace of Deserters.
CHICAGO. July 2S. Two prisoners, Fred
Ennis and John McQuig, and Sentry Wil
liam Treet. of Company M, Twenty-first
Infantry, who was guarding them, have
disappeared from Fort Sheridan, and no
trace of tho missing men has been found.
Searching parties sent out In every direc
tion have scoured the woods and ravines,
but have failed to secure a clew. ,
Whether the guaTd has deserted with
his prisoners, or whether he was over
powered by his charges and lies in some
deserted spot, gagged and bound, or per
haps murdered, is a matter of conjecture,
although trustworthiness of the soldier Is
ground for the belief that an encounter
occurred.
King: of Chicago Counterfeiters.
CHICAGO, July 2S. Alfred F. Cunning
ham, said to be the "King of Chicago
counterfeiters," has been arrested here by
Federal Secret Service officers, and Is

I OREGON MAN HONORED
ELECTED FOURTH VICE-PRESI-DEXT
BV LOXGSHOREJIEXE.
J. A. Madsen, Delegate From. This
State, Talks of Labor Problems
That Arise in Chicago.
Oregon was honored at the meeting of
the International Longshoremen, Marine
and Transport Workers' Association by
the election of J. A. Madsen, .cx-presldent
of the longshoremen's union of this city
and organizer for this district, as fourth
vice-president of the association: Mr.
Madsen has been a faithful labor worker,
and his many friends here are proud of
the honor that has been bestowed upon
him. He speaks in glowing terms of the
work of the convention, which was heM
In Chicago July 14-19, and says that the
union la Chicago Is so strong that they
could not lose a strike. From 17000 to
18,000 new members were taken in from
Chicago and along the lakes, and 110 new
charters issued for locals In other parts
of the country. The Longshoremen's
Union Is now of great strength, and has
organizations In Porto Rico and many
other foreign places. They also have a
central organization, in which similar
unions In England and other foreign coun
tries arc represented, and are now In a
position to demand that their union brotn.
era on the other side of the ocean refuse
to unload ships that have been loaded
here by scab help or In any way have not
been sent out on a fair standing with the
union. In speaking of the meeting Mr.
Madsen said yesterday:
"I was there during the freight-handlers'
strike, and I never saw anything as com
plete as their method cf blockade. They
had their employers completely blocxed
on every turn. It was reported In some
of the papers that the union lost the
strike, but I wish that the people could
have teen the Chicago papers. The union
galntd a great victory. They asked that
their wages be raised from IS to 19 cents
per hour. Their employers would not give
them a hearing of any kind, and finally
a committee of citizens stepped In and
told them that they would have to arbi
trate the matter. The way that the mat
ter was settled was that they were given
an advance to 1V& cents per hour, and
got their union recognized."
Upon being asked concerning the con
vention, he said: "It was a success in
every way, and one would have to be
present In order to get a complete idea
of the accurate and systematic way In
which things are handled. We changed
the name from the 'International Long
shoremen's' because there are so many
of the marine and transport workers com
ing In that we thought It was right that
they should be represented In the name
of the organization." In speaking of the
relative standing of the unions In the
East and In the West, he said: "With the
organization that they have in Chicago it
would be Impossible for them to lose a
strike. "Everything Is with them. I
think that Chicago Is the strongest union
city that I was ever In. When there is
any trouble all are willing to take a hand
In It. Not only the members of the unions
but the public generally are In favor of
the labor issue. During the teamsters'
trouble every one seemed to be" 6n the
street. Women and children even took an
Interest and were out to do what they
could. I have seen the street so blocked
that no one could get through the crowd.
A scab driver would be trying to take a
load through the streets, and the street
would be so blocked that he could not
get through" Even when the policemen
tried to get through to help them they
were blocked, and had to let it go."
"Do you think that the union people
here are as hard workers for their cause
as they are back there?" he was asked.
"There Is no trouble In regard- to the
union people here," said he. "What they
lack is public sentiment. The peopk
generally do not seem to Interest them
selves In the matter as they do In the
East."
ACROSS COUNTRY.
(Continued from First Pace.)
abundant crops are being raised year in
and year out. With easy optimism it Is
argued that because there have been,
no difficulties for several seasons, there
will never again be repeated the disaster
which some 10 years ago cost the whole
Palouse country lta season's crop. I
would like to believe all this, and with
It the other delusion that the .lands here
about will suffer no loss of quality
through "continuous cropping to wheat;
but I cannot d? It. In the future, as In
the past, there must In the very nature
of things come seasons too dry and sea
sons too wet; and again In the very na
ture of things a soil constantly drawn
upon and never renewed must In the end
loso Its fertility. The volcanic ash which
overlies this whole country la truly a
great resource, but It la unreasonable
and practically unwise to proceed upon
a theory which universal experience
proves to be uniound. The theory of the
Inexhaustibility of this soil cannot be a
true one, and those who preach It
and thcoe whose practice Is based upon
it are foircly doing the country a very
great mischief. Here, unquestionably, as
in the Walla Walla country, cultivation
is doing much to conserve moisture; first
by enabling the soil to retain what falls
from the sky and, second, by delaying the
processes of evaporation, but there la no
proof of a positive increase In the an
nual precipitation.

dust combine to. make a car-ride a period

"Sonorous Terms."
Chicago Inter Ocean.
William J. Bryan, on his way to a Bos
ton banquet, paused in Chicago long
enough to drop. this pearl of thought:
The Democratic platform should also take an
aggressive attitude with reg-ard to monoplles,
inasmuch as It Is now certain that the Re
publican party does not intend to antagonize
these evils. The Republican party may de
nounce them In sonorous terms, but It has been
and will be mortgaged to them In exchange for
campaign funds.
In these utterances Mri Bryan displays
his usual habit of 'skimping truth and
skimming falsehood. What Is the rec
ord, and what are the facts, of Republi
can and Democratic action as regards
trusts?
While Mr: Bryan was in Congress and
his party was In power there flourished
or arose 99 so-called trusts, with an ag
gregate capital of J2,374,232,7S0. Did Mr.
Bryan from his place in Congress lift his
voice against these "monopolies"? Did he
even denounce them In "sonorous terms"?
He did not he did not. While he was
a lawmaker, with power at least to at
tempt something, he was dumb. He care
fully waited until he got out of official
position before he began even to clamor
against trusts.
Although Mr. Bryan's party has been
more or less completely In control of the
National Government for eight years out
of the last 17, In all those eight years,
while continually denouncing trusts In
"sonorous terms' on tho stump, It has
carefully refrained from taking any ac
tion against them, legislative or adminis
trative. It has left the enactment of laws
to regulate trusts, and the enforcement
of those laws, to Republican Congresses
and Republican Presidents.
As It has been In the past, so it evident
ly will be in the future. The Republican
party will march steadily on to the so
lution of the trust problem, while the
Democratic party will skirmish around
and talk. The Republican party will do
the work, while the Democracy will find
the fault. The Republican party will act,
while the Democratic party, following
Mr. Bryan's example, will content Itself
with emitting "sonorous terms."
ONLY BY KING'S FAVOR.
-
French Queen Consorts' Status Was
Inferior to Their Husbands'.
Philadelphia Times.
What the French Queen consorts there
were no Queens regnant were never al
lowed to forget was their practical Inferi
ority of status. Their husbands were
crowned at Rheims; they were crowned at
St. Drnls. near Paris. There have been
throughout the ages only two exceptions
to this, only one that virtually counts, for
French history does not regard the coro
nitlon of Napoleon I and Josephine In the
light of a precedent for subsequent cere
monies of that, kind, provided there are to
be any, which contingency by now appears
exceedingly doubtful, three-quarters of a
century having clapped since a French
ruler received ouch a consecration, and he
was a widower.
The only genuine exception was at the
coronation of Francis II, the first husband
of Mary Stuart. Two months after the
death of his father, who was supposed to
have teen accidentally killed at a tourna
ment, Francis, the eldest son of Henri II
and Catherine de Medici, traveled to
Rheims for the purport of being crowned,
Mary accompanying him. Mary's matri
monial experiences were only at their be
ginning, and at no time were they par
ticularly hsppy. but It Is extremely doubt
ful whether either Darnley or Bothwell
was as great a "crank" as this boy hus
band. Ever since coronations were Insti
tuted the rule was strictly, and still pre
vails, that no one In mourning attire shall
be allowed to enter the cathedral In which
the ceremony taken place.
By Francis II's express command every
body appeared in black as a sign of mourn
ing for the late King. Jewels, embroid
er and gold were strictly forbidden. The
hangings on the building Itself were of
black velvet or cloth. The royal couple
journeyed together to within a short dis
tance of Rheims, when Francis mounted a
magnificent charger and proceeded alone.
Mary had announced her Intention not to
wear the prescribed trappings of woe, and
not to stand by her husband as consort
"while he was being crowned. She also re
fused to undergo the ordeal separately at
St. Denis, as the law of France expressly
stated that a Queen consort was crowned
merely by favor of the King, and that the
rite conferred no privilege of any kind to
act upon her own initiative. Inasmuch as
she was a Queen in her own right, and
had been crowned as such when a mere in
fant of 9 months old. to the disgust of
Henry VIII, she declined' to take part In
the other ceremonial, and while her hus
band made his state entry Into Rheims
amid torrents of rain and gusts of wind,
she was conveyed thither In a litter. She
made her appearance In a rich dress and
magnificent jewelry in a gallery over the
high altar In the cathedral, surrounded by
her gentlewomen and together with the
King's sister, the young Queen of Spain,
the successor in marriage to "Bloody
Mary."
BELLS OF MANDALAY.
They Hinfr From Many Pagodas at
the Setting of the Sun.
Scribner's Magazine.
Mandalay has its own sky. soft and gray
and Incurving like a tent, with white
cloud lines that seem meant for scrolls If
one could read. It Is the very sacred city,
the city of contemplation, the city of all
the monks. A thousand p3godabells give
tongue to the wind there when the sun
goes down: a crumbling thousand more
give up to time the testimony of outworn
things.
It lies In a curved arm of blue hills, and
something broods over it with solicitude.
This you suspect from the air of the place
and the way the shrill talk of the parrots
and the complaint of the goats and the
laughter of the people come to you wher
ever you are sitting. Afterward you go
out. as I did that morning with the com
missioner, and see under the very zenith
where the low gray sky is caught up. the
square of the dark-red crenelated walls of
the old royal city, three miles each way,
and outside the walls the parallel clear
moat blinking back at the sky; and then
you are sure that over and above the gov
ernment of India some spirit -is in posses
sion here, some spirit that bends in affec
tion over finished and forgotten things.
Seven-roofed kiosks stand at Intervals
over the gates in the wall they are called
pyathat. but they strike the eye Ilka
peaceful conclusions and low white stone
bridges raised In the middle span the moat.
The buttresses of the gates are painted
deep gray and white, and the bank that
slants steeply from, the wall to the water
has here and there a low, twisted, spread
ing tree on It, purely for decoration. You
may stop at a corner and look two ways
along the reflecting water, with bridge
after bridge receding across, and pyathat
after pyathnt diminishing above, and each
red anl gray and white vista so picked out
and finished under the quiet light, slip
ping adorably Into the near blue of the
hills.
Mandalay seemed aware with bunting
that day, flags and arches of welcome.

and almost awake; but you looked again
and suw that she only turned in her sleep
and smiled as at a dream.
MISUSE OF ENGLISH.
London Critics Complain We Treat
the Lanfruaj?e as If It "Were Ours.
London Globe.
In Macmillan's Magazine this month a
writer discusses what he Is pleased to call
our unhappy language, and refers to such
familiar Instance of bad English as the
spllt-lnnnltlve ".and which," and the more
frejuent "averse to." These errors are,
unfortunately, like the poor, always with
us. and even the nicest writers occasion
ally fall Into them. There are sentences
in which to write "averse.from" seems as
pedantic as It Is harsh in sound, and on
the ground of euphony even the writer in
Macmillan's is Inclined to defend the less
correct and more common proposition. It
is like the expression "different to," which
is eo familiar in conversation that one al
most starts to hear a man or woman em
ploy the correct form, "different from."
But these liberties which we take with
English are as nothing in comparison with
the license taken by the Americans. In a
recently published American novel such
sentences occur as "She swung about
heart-Fickly back to him"; "his eyes were
wonted to the darkness," and "her voice
grew breathy with terror." Before these
horrible examples we are speechless.
What can be said of such creations as
"paintlngly," "whltely," and "breathy"?
American .authors appear to be wholly
without reverence for the dignity of Eng
lish; they have long taken to spelling
words In a horrible and hideous fashion,

This wonder-working medicine Is success
fully conquering such troubles as yours
every day. It Is a fact, verified by nble
physicians and thousands of testimonials,
that Palne's Celery Compound makes
new, pure blood, builds up the nervous
system, regulates digestion, whets the
appetite and gives vigor and strength to
combat the discomforts of the heated
term.
Mrs. J. N. Morgan, Secretary. Md., used
Palne's Celery Compound to banish ner
vous prostration, heart palpitation and
insomnia. The great medicine quickly re
stored physical strength by purifying the
blood, bracing the nerves and building up
tissue; she says:
"When I began the use'of Palne's Cel
ery Compound I was suffering with ner
vous prostration, had palpitation of the
heart and could not sleep. When I first
went to bed I would sleep one or two
hours, but would wake with a start. 1
would get up In the morning feeling worse
than when I went to bed. Now, after us
ing Palne's Celery Compound, I can eat
and sleep well and wake up In the morn
ing feeling refreshed and strong."
jectives which- are enough to make Dr.
Johnsr.n turn in his 'grave.
The point Qf the complaint is that Amer
icans treat the English language Just as
If it were their own. It Is not nice. A
story is told In a contemporary of a speech
recently made by a Yankee barrister In a
court of law. He was for the plaintiff,
whose cow had been knocked down ana
killed by a train, and this was the con
tention: "If the train had been run as it
should have been ran. or if the bell had
been rung as it should have been rang, or
If the whistle had been blown as It should
have been blew, both of which they did
neither, the cow would not have been in
jured when she was killed."
WHAT SHALL WE READ?
Publishers Shout Their Wares From
Housetops.
New York Evening Post.
In 1002 the unknown author Is as extinct
as the dodo. The name of rising genius
is heralded from one end of the country
tothe other, and his picture Is furnished
to every paper that can be persuaded to
print it. A little while ago Mary MacLane,
the "Marie Bashklrtsefl of Butte, Mont.,
wrote some Incredibly silly confessions.
Several weeks before they came out tne
publisher mailed to the principal news
papers proofsheets of striking chapters.
Then came a torrent of anecdotes about
the girl, half-tone portraits, full-face and
profile, in street dress and in evening
dress, and assorted sizes of Interviews.
By th time of actual publication the'un
fortunnte young woman was known to
most newspaper readers In America; and.
Instead of two small editions In three
years, as with Jane Austen, Mary Mac
Lane can probably pride herself on two
large editions sold on advance orders.
But whllo every publisher Is shouting
his wares from the housetops, are the
consumers of book3 growing equally In
grace and knowledge? The gentle reader,
with all his gentleness, used to offer
stubborn resistance to a book he did not
like. If he had satisfied his craving for
Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" by
purchasing two editions, he stopped; and
i.elther Mr. Egerton nor MLss Austen
dreamed of making him budge. Today the
publisher und the author do not yield so
meekly. They have destroyed the" old
balance of power; they now plan an elab
orate campa'gn to make a book the fash
Ion, and force it upon us, willy nllly. Our
grandfathers took up a much-discussed
novel, certain that, however poor, it had
recommended Itself to many people. We
pathetically follow the tradition about
reading the books that are talked about,
certain of nothing except that for a month
the title had stared at us on ever hand.
We wade through It because we suppose
everybody tfse is reading It, and we want
to hold up our heads In civilized society.
Thus the shrewd publisher and author
catch us and stuff us like silly Strassburg
geese. ,
What are we going to do about It? Most
of us will do nothing. But people of edu
cation owe it to themselves not to be
stampeded by mere shouting. They should
withstand the vociferous attacks of the
advertiser and remain unashamed, even
though they have read none of the im
mortal masterpieces that within a twelve
month have sunk to oblivion. If we are
to hold our own we must stick to Emer
son's rule of waiting till a book has lived
at least a year before we favor It with
our attention. And we must more than
ever try to steady our judgment by turn
ing back to the books that have endured
for a generation or more. If. we are fa
miliar with Jane Austen, Scott, Dickens,
Thackeray, and George Eliot, we shall
not be struck dumb with amazement at
the genfus of Gertrude Atherton and
Charles Major, or even of Jame3 Lane
Allen. Gilbert Parker and Booth Tark
lngton. If from time to time we return
to the masters we may hope to be guided
by reason Instead of by nolae.
