A census bulletin devoted to church statistics contains much Information concerning Uregon In Marion county there are two organisa tions of independent Mennonltes aud seventy-tlve communicants. In Polk county there 1 one and forty members. There Is sn Amish Mennonlte society In Marion county with twenty-five members snd one In Clackamas with thirty-two.

St ratus Court Cams. The case of J W Gaines et al, appellant, vs. Linn county et al, respondents, and the case of J WUai nea and Louis Stringer, appel . lante, vs Linn county, respondent, were both decided in the supreme court last Monday, These cases are of special in terest to the citiiens of Santiatn and Scio precincts, as sixty-tour of the appellants are residents there. The cases were taken from the county court of Lian county to the circuit court by writ of re view, Mr G W Wright, of this city, being attorney for the appellants. The circuit court deciding adversely, they, by advice of Mr Wright, appealed to the supreme court. After many days of bard work in gathering and briefing the law applica ble, Mr Wright was naturally much pleased at winning both cases in the supreme court, and in reversing the deci sion of Judge Iloise, of the circuit court, and as well knocking out, figuratively speaking, the legal talent who were at torneys for Linn county. Herald. AcriSBXTALLT Shot. Most of the shooting accidents come from Lane county. It is the banner county in this respect. The Guard gives another very serious one: A young man, aged 18 years, whose name we con id not learn, in the employ of Enos Cleek. who lives two miles north of Irving, while uncock ing his gun in the gentleman's house, let the lock slip out of his finger, which dis charged the gun. the charge of duck shot entering the right leg of the wife of Mr Cleek's, just below the knee, shattering the bone in a frightful manner. Dr L W Brown was sent lor and be immediately amputated the limb about two inches below the knee joint. On account ot the loss of blood, btfo-e the arrival ot the doctor, and the chock occasioned, the lady is in a precarious condition, but hopes are entertained of her recovery. Eqlalizxo Things. The State Coard cf Equalization propose to do justice to all parts of Uregon. Ihry have placed horses at $50 west of the mountains and about hslf ea.t of the mountains Linn county horses will be raised from $39.94. Cattle will be $12.50 and Linn's will have to come up from $1090. Meep will be $1 Co and hers Linn will drop from $167. Mortgages will be eqjalized; but how, there's the question. In the matter of mortgages they have a tlg job on their hands. Oregon should at least have equality in all things. Crock Coistv. This cek Wm M Kheilabargcr sold Ills building and sad dlery business to M A Moore. Mr Sheila bsrger has bee.t in business in I'rineville for eight years. Charlie Bowlsby, of Iteaver, desires to announce that he will fight the winner of the Ross-Woods contest for gate receipts and funeral expense. On Monday Tohn Elliott brought in grains of old taken from the El liot) mine on Upper (choco. It was the result of a clean up of their a rant r a, which Mr Elliott thinks saves about one twentieth of the gold contained in the rock they are working. Ucvlew. Tut Proper Wav. There Is some snsp to it least one Salem Justice. Last Friday we mentioned the arrest of two students In that city charged with stealing a book. Here was the result from the Journal: "The two boys, Archie Cleaver and Mr Melsner ,who were falsely accused of purloining a book, were both discharged and exonerated, while the young man who brought the prosecution was fined $17.50 for his misdemeanor besides being strongly reprimanded." The example is one that should be followed generally In cases unnecessarily instituted, particularly those based on spite. A Peculiar Suit. According to the Guard a f eeullar suit hss been begun In Eugene: "Joseph Thelmer hss sues! his wife, Anns Thelmer, for the sum of $1,500. Theimer claims that he Is simple minded snd thst his wife threatened him with Imprisonment and thereby compelled him to sign a deed to the residence prop erty on Seventh street. The su'.t is brought by T J GelsW,a Portland lawyer. The truth of the ma'.ter Is that Theimer spends his pension tor "red liquor" snd hss been supported by his wife and child ren for years. He Is too Isty to work. He could not procure an attorney In Eu gene where he I- known." Axnual Mxitwo. The Oregon Bible society held its annual meeting at the YMCA rooms last evening, Key S G Irvine in the chair. Prayer was offered by J F Stewart.

Judgment in vacation. U W Wright, attorney tor piainuu. A Coob Recommendation. According TmTio the official census, Ilemsburg's popu Nation decreased 9 from 1840 to 1800. A u ntleman from there tells us there ifot a vacant bouse in the place. If lost a few previous to last year it bas gained a good many more since. Sheriff Scott informs us that thers is not a cent of delinquent tax dun in the precinct, among present residents there, a rare recommendation for its thrifty residents in view of the site of the delin quent list. Alw Town. County Surveyor Cul ver, Douglas Mint and Henry George, tbe baseball player start on the 11am train for a point on tbe Santiam river on the 0 P railroad bait way between Gates villa and N lagara, to lay off a town.

The man came to town a day or two before he was arrested ana represented that he had been sent here to examine the Ochoco mi nos. He had a pony, saddle and bridle and some money. Ho put no at the Prlneville House, got acquainted ith C S Smith, told the storv of his mission, got a little "full," played game or two, got broke, and borrowed casn iroin Air hinitb, ottering to draw a check for the amount. In alt he got into Mr Stnithabout ftW. Then he struck genial Bob Harrington and borrowed 15, offering his pouy for security. Then when it got dark he spirited the pony out ot the stable and lefu A warrant was issued for his arrest, and Sheriff Booth caught bis man in the Upper Ochoco country and returned him to town, and his hearing resulted as above stated, as it is not a crime to borrow money, no case could be made out against him, but that be la a great swimurr goes without saying. He lelt on Wednesday for parts unknown. Jvews. About iiik Baron. Considerable In terest has been tske.i in the engagement oi Senator Mitchell's daughter to the Bar on de Rochetoucaulds. Perhaps It wilt result tn s reil live baron visiting Oregon sometime, though personally Miss Mattle probably doesn't take a very live Interest in this state, not having; resided here much, lice Is ssld to be whst the Sen at'ir ssys about it: "I know of but two objections' to her Intended husband the one is that his residence Is abroad, which will lake try daughter from this country, and the other is that he has a tltle.nelther ot which I take kindly to. Aside from these objecMons, however, sll my Infor mation, and I have It hsam many sources snd Ih very best of sources, is to the effect thst he Is a splendic free, so I am told, from the vices with which so many Parisians (and occasionally an American) are addicted to. He Is sober, does not gamble and Is not considered a fast man in any sense of the word; has a good position In the army; has three fine estates one ss fine ss any In France. Socially t o man In Europe stands higher or bet- Rti.BAsto from Jail. Jack Fllnn, who was sentenced by Justice Coshow a month ago, for stealing a rubber coat from L Gotlleb, was discharged yesterday, and on being presented with a dollar by a fellow prisoner and a deputy sheriff, immediate ly celebrated the event by get'.ing glori ously drunk, resulting In an early Incarcer ation In the calaboose. Then he swore off. He won't drink sny more ui.til he gets out. A Bio Eaci.b. Saturday while going losg the rosd by the Hulbert school house, Mr I. I) Knlghten discovered s gray eagle in the field near the road. Having a gun with him he took ayhot st America's emblem, killing the bird.

Ind.,ho is here with a number of Clydesdale, bought the eagle, and will lake him back to the lioosler state. Up and Downs.

We would have supposed that the emphatic condemnation of ammonia baking powders by the most eminent physicians throughout the land, and the fact of the three leading chemists of Minnesota mak ing their report to the Senate Committee recently showing that read baked with the "Royal" contained ammonia and the hostility now being manifested by the public against all ammonia and alum baking powders would have driven them permanently from the market. , In view of the fact that Baking Powder has become an Indispensable article in every kitchen, it is gratifying to know tfiat there are brands in tho market to which no suspicion of" any kind has ever attached. Dr. , Price's Cream Baking Powder is a pure cream of tartar free from every taint of ammonia, alum- or other substance. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned. THE SAN FRANCISCO BOARD of HEALTH. Wc, the members of the Board of Health of the City and County of San Francisco, Cordially approve and recommend the Royal Baking Powder. It ia absolutely pure and healthful, composed of the best Ingredients, of the highest ctrcngth and character. In our judgment it Is impossible maly a purer or stronger Baking Powder than the Royal.
