Amendments to the Portland charter will "probably be passed this week. A bill ?ontaining the proposed changes was in troduced in tho House last week by 5;cakcr Mills; likewise a bill authoriz ing the city to bond Itself for $323,000 for purchase of park grounds. The latter hill rnrountered big opposition in the Mult njmah delegation at first, but has been altered that no doubt remains of tho delegation's reaching an agreement. The -hange which pacified the opposition au thorizes the Tark Board to purchase whatever grounds it deems best and rc Qjires them to expend at least $100,000 on the East Side. A hill to appropriate another $23,000 for the portage road will be Introduced this nit n. lur uAiciiuiiiET wic roaa eo mat it ciih i-uiineci wiui me vreai aoutnern and rnter The Dalles. Tho $23,000 appropria tion, which passed both houses last week. Is to maintain the road during the next two years. Tho extension aims to save boats from the danger of navigating Three-Mile Rapids up to Big Eddy, the terminus of the road, as it is now planned. The City of The Dalles will se cure from the Legislature authority to bond itself for $10,000 for construction of terminal -wharves, in case the road shall enter Its corporate limits. The fight against Representative Miles' bill, which alms to protect forests against fire, has nearly all subsided, and the measure will become a law, according to present appearances. Only one member of the House voted against the bill last week. Objectionable features in the bill .have been so much removed that no on position Is expected to spring up in the Senate. Tho bill provides that between June 1 and October 1 no clearing or brush fires shall be started without permit from the County Clerk. The blU originally pro hibited such fires between August 1 and September 15. Does Governor Chamberlain, plan to "hold up" charter bills that do not con form with the local option law? Verily, the spectacle' of 20-odd charter bills piled up on his desk would lead to the belief that he looks on some of them with a belligerent eye. Some contain emergency clauses, but according to the opinion de livered by His Excellency last week, he Is not warranted In blocking them on that account, as in tne case of general enact ments. Then why the delay? Last night the Governor hied himself to Salem so as to begin work on the bills this morning Just as soon as the sun peeps through the blinds. He Is said to be submitting every charter to micro scopic examination and to be looking for a chance to pounce down with his veto. The local option law vexes many a Leg islator who has charter bills to put through. That the Legislature has power to suspend the local option law in towns by giving City Councils authority to regu late liquor traffic is the general opinion, but some members are pained with doubts not alone about whether such a grant of power is legal, but more, whether it is good politics. The purpose of the Legislature in this matter has not yet been clearly defined. A number of charter bills containing clauses which will exempt their munici palities "from the local option Jaw have gone through. According to a recent de cision of the Circuit Court, a charter which gives to a municipality authority to reg ulate liquor traffic, confers power also to allow saloons to do business oa Sunday. This has brought more worry to the law makers. Last week a charter bill -for Medford passed both Houses, without the members being aware that it contained a provision which suspended the local option law in that town. "When anti-liquor forces learned of the, fact they grew very busy, with the result that Representative "Vawter with drew the measure. Among the powers conferred on the City Council were the following: "To license, tax, regulate or prohibit barrooms, drinking shops, bowling alleys and drinkhouses and all places where spir itous, malt and vinous liquors are sold, regardless of any general law of the state on this subject, enacted by the Leg islature or the people at large." WORLD RUN BY FAITH. Dr. Brougher Gives Dramatic Lectur on What to Believe. "An Infernal Liar Who?" was Dr. Brougher's topic at the White Temple last night, and he held an audience which oc cupied every available space, even to standing-room. He surprised his congre gation, too, in a manner in which he quite took away their breath. Dr. Brougher based his sermon on I John, v:9-ll, "If we receive the testimony of man, the testimony of God Is greater; for this is the testimony which he hath testified of his Son. He that bellcvcth on tlie Son of God, hath the witness In him self; he that bclievcth not, God hath made him a liar." Among other things, Dr. Brougher said: "We receive the witness of men. We get our knowledge through three means; by experience through the five senses, by our own observation, and by the testi mony of others. All history is received upon testimony. I take the historian's word for It. Each one does. Wc accept the witness of men, but the witness of God is greater. This world is saved and run by faith. Home and society arc saved by faith. Business is run upon faith. We cannot run the world upon doubt. We must believe." Dr. Brougher then proceeded to illus trate his point In a unique manner, ask ing: "How many of you people would be lieve me, if I told you something upon my word and honor?" The array of up lifted hands was very gratifying, as all In the vast audience endeavored to see who could put up theirs first. Dr. Brougher clapping his hands, and crying, "Good! Good!" Then he said: "I doubt whether, under some circumstances, you would." Then, turning suddenly to the large au dience, from pacing the platform, he stopped suddenly, shot out a clenched fist, and roared dramatically: "How many of you believe I have $1C) In that hand?" A small number, not to exceed 25, slow, ly raised their hands, which caused quite a gale of laughter from the balance of tne big audience. Without changing his atti tude. Dr. Brougher opened his hand and waved a $100 bill at his audience, which greeted him with a round of applause. HOW TO HEAD THE BIBLE. Practical Talk on Biblical Study Is Given by Rev. E. S. Muckley. The subject of Rev. E. S. Muckley's sermon at the First Christian Church last night was "The Use and Abuse pf the Bible." The sermon was illustrated by a chart representing 65 books grouped un der the three dispensations represented In Bible history, the Patriarchal. Jewish and Christian, each group properly di vided and named. The chart also set forth rules for an intelligent study of the Bible. Mr. Muckley said In part: "The Bible is often tVmght to be hard to understand. This may be duo to sev eral reasons, but chiefly to the fact that people do not study It carefully and in telligently. It is the most wonderful col lection of books ever placed under one cover. No other literature has tho in fluence in the world today than tho Bible has. It Is printed in larger quantities, translated Into more languages and read by more peoplo than any other book. If it Is misunderstood, it Is not by those who use It, but by those who abuse it. No book has been more abuBcd. People have brought to it a thousand and one theories and tried to provo them, and have succeeded at least to the satisfac tion of themselves and a few others theories It was never intended to prove. Warring sects have arisen, and the book and Its authors have been dishonored, its force weakened and its religion spoken against. Every blessing can be made a curse by abusing it The greater the blessing the greater the curse resulting from its abuse. Handles Millions Counts Cents. World's Work. A simple illustration will show the, care that is taken of cents by the First National Bank of Chicago. Stamped postal cards are not used, and none of the thousands of routine letters that arc written every day Is stamped or sealed until the whole routine mail of the day is assembled in the afternoon. Then all the cards and letters to one correspond ent are put In a single envelope, and except for letters from the officers and the like the bank comes as near as pos sible to getting Its entire mail carried at 2 cents an ounce, or a cent for every postal card, instead of often paying 2 cents for a quarter of an ounce, as it "would have to do if every communication wero scaled and stamped separately. This little matter of getting full value out of a 2-cent stamp makes a saving of from $25 lo $30, a day. What a Woman Thinks. New York Press. Women seem to think tho way to show men how easy a time they have running their business is to tell them all the trou bles about running the house when they come home. J. M.

Winters, a well-known farmer residing about two miles west of Gresham on the Grants road, died yesterday after noon under unusual circumstances, but until the. cause of death"' Is ascertained by an autopsy, no action will bo taken by the authorities. Winters, who was 60 years of age, had resided near Gresham for over 28 years. His wife has a son by a former husband named Louis Seaman, who has always taken the name of "Winters, and it is al leged that this stepson and the old man were quarreling Just before the latter died. For some time the stepson has been in poor health, but he worked as an electrician In Portland until recently, when he returned to Gresham. Four years ago Seaman married a Mrs. Boley in this city, but last July he se cured a divorce through the financial as sistance of his stepfather. The relations between Winters and Louis have not been pleasant for some time. On December 21 the- latter bor rowed $100 from his mother and her hus band for the ostensible purpose of going to California, but instead ho took the money to Portland and was remarried to his farmer wife. This still further en raged Mr. Winters and he forbade him coming to the family home. From time to time, however. Seaman has visited his mother unknown to her husband, and It was on one of these clandestine visits that the young man went to Gresham yesterday. Instead of finding hl3 mother, however, he met Mr. Winters as he entered tho door of tho house. An Inquiry as to the reason of the visit resulted in a quick answer from Seaman, and the old man started toward him with uplifted hand, but before he had reached the place where the former was stand ing, he sank to the floor with a groan, striking his head upon a chair as he fell. Before the family physician. Dr. Short, could reach the house, death had over taken him. The only witnesses to the affair were M. F. McManus. a hired man, and tho stepson. Mrs. Winters having gone to a neighboring farmhouse on an errand. The stories of both agree in ovcry particular as to the occurrences at the house, and. as tho deceased was known to be of a very excitable nature and had been treat ed for some tlmo by Dr. Short for heart trouble. It Is likely that the autopsy will prove natural disease as the cause of death. Deputy Coroner A. L. Finley was noti fied of the death about 4 o'clock and Im mediately drove to the Winters' home and after examining tho witnesses as above stated, brought the body to Port land, and has ordered that the autopsy be held this morning.

SUNDAY FOR PLAY Working Boys Should Be Given Full Permission., CATHOLIC BISHOP ADVOCATE Scranton, Pa., Prelate Pictures the " Hardships of Youth Whp Are Compelled to Toll All Week in 'Mines and JAitt. SCRANTON, Pa., Feb. 5. In a sermon on "Child Labor" at St Peter's Cathedral today, Right-Rev. Mr. Hoban, bishop of Scranton, came out unequivocally for permitting working boys to play athletic games on Sunday. After picturing the hardships many of the boys of this community are put to In the mines and mills, day and night, six days a week, he criticized those who pro test against Jhem enjoying Sunday in harmless recreations, and added: "I say, let them play -baseball or foot ball or any other kind of ball to their heart's content. The good Lord will be pleased to see them do it, I aver, provid ing they are good boys." Mitchell Will Study Conditions. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.; Feb. 5. John Mitchell, National president of the United Mine-Workers of America, left today for Birmingham, Ala., where he, will investi gate the grievances of the bituminous miners of the 20th district, who have been out for some time on a disputed wage scale. There are 8000 miners in the dis trict and the difficulty is considered to be one 6f signal Importance, as the men have been out since July. "No, I am not going down there to set tlo the difficulty," said President Mitch ell. Just before he left, "In fact, I, know of no developments that are likely to come about soon. I have been very busy hero for some time and this Is really my first opportunity to make a personal study of the Alabama troubles. I will probably be gone for some time." Trepoff the Tyrant Chicago Record-Herald. General Trepoff. the new Governor General of St. .Petersburg, Is one of the most hated subjects of tho Czar. Men of liberal tendencies as well as pronounced revolutionists look upon him as probably the greatest foe of popular liberty that exists in Russia. It is even said that the palace clique, who employ him, loathe him for his despicable methods. Trepoff himself declares that he bears a charmed life. Four times have the revolutionists tried to effect his "removal," but each attempt proved a failure. When a soldier of accredited ability stoops to become a chief of Russian police he at once in a measure loses caste with the remainder of the army. This is the case of General Trepoff. He Is admired for military actions in the past, but despised for his present occupation, for within six weeks he hns been Chief, of Police of Moscow. BT-a comes of a good family and con ducted himself with distinction in the Turkish war, but always displayed a brutality toward the soldiers under him that caused the men to hate him. He has been especially distinguished for denunciations, in and out of sea son, of anarchists and revolutionists, which declarations probably have won for him tho unenviable position that he now occupies. Marked man that he has been for years, Trepoff practlcally has now become, next to the Czar and the Grand Dukes, the central target for weapons of the followers of the red flag. The most recent attempt on Trepoff's life was mado January 15 last in Mos cow. He was at the Nicholas station In that city bidding farewell to Grand Duke Sergius, who was departing for St. Petersburg, when a young student approached, quickly drew a revolver and fired three times at the General, but the bullets went wild. Trepoff aim ply blessed himself, and the secret po lice who. were present seized the as sassin and hustled him off to prison. A month previously Trepoff was the Chief of Police of Moscow. It will be remembered that on December 18 and 19 last tho students of the university there engaged In revolutionary demon strations. Trepoff had put down the uprising with a heavy hand and inci dentally had caused mourning in many homes In Moscow. It was a relative of one of tho vic tims of Trepoff's repressive action that had attempted to even things by caus ing the close friends of Trepoff to put on black. The year 1902 Is marked with red in TrepofPs calendar. Especially Is there a huge daub of crimson over the months of March and April of that year, for In those months three attempts were made on his life. He had a marvelous almost "a miraculous escape on March SI. A woman named Allart had gained admission to his private office on tho pretense of imparting Important lnforma ilon concerning a conspiracy. She. carried a revolver concealed beneath a long cloak. It was but the work of a second to draw the weapon, place it against TrepofTs breast and pull the trigger. The revolver, howqver. missed fire, and it Is presumed AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF PORTLAND From Woodard, Clarke & Co., Our Well-Known Druggists. To Whom It May Concern: Of lato there has been a good deal of discussion In Portland in regard to ad vertised medicines and their -value the papers arc full of them.

Woodard, Clarko & Co., Druggists. that Trepoff again blessed himself. On April 4 following, a man, armed with a. stiletto, tried tqf force his way Into the General's office, but was overpowered and placed in a dungeon. He Is now in Si beria. On April 6 Trepoff had another thrilling experience. While he was riding, a young student sprang upon the steps of the car riage and attempted to plunge a dagger Into the General's heart. The secret po lice officer that rode with Trepoff warded off the desperate lunge, but received a se vere cut In the arm. The assailant was locked up as a maniac, and none of his friends since have seen him. About January 1 of this year Trepoff was relieved of his duties as Chief of Po lice of Moscow and ordered "to the front. He was not -to go. however, as a fighting man. Perhaps his superiors desired to preserve his life as long as possible. He was assigned as head of the Red Cross So ciety In Manchuria. It Is intimated that the General had desired to lead a corps of at least a brigade, but information, it is alleged, had reached army headquar ters at St, Petersburg that Trepoff would not be welcome among the rank and file under KurOpatkin's command.
