Last week the Democrat referred to another interview of Loyd Montgomery by George Piper, of the Oregonian, in which he confessed again to the killing of his parents. Sa it was reported from a source the Democrat thought correct, but instead be insists stronger than ever that he only killed McKercuer. x no in terview appears m today's Oregonian He declares that he only made the con fession of killing all because not in his right mind and because be thought it would save his life. He said: "I'll not be punished for . killing Mc Kercher after he shot my parents and tried to kill me too. My shot that kill ed McKercher sent him stra'ght to hell. Nothing stopped him on the way. God knows this, and so do I." lie gives a minister a hit for trying to make him own up that be killed his parents. He gives a more detailed state ment of his version, and promises to write one out in full for the Oregonian. According to his version, -insisted upon now, McKercher called at the house. Gilkey was in the yard. McKercher and Loyc talked about the gun and dog, and wen ' the pump back of the shed for watef vthen he went in and got the rifle to 8 ,ow to Mckercher, who took it and whi.e Loyd was drinking went to the woodshed door and shot hia father and fired at his mother, who cried out "Help, Loyd, help, he is killing me." McKercher rushed around the house, followed by Loyd. At the front door McKercher tried to shoot Loyd, but he knocked the rifle above his bead and it went off, be grabbed McKercher by the neck. "If they will take McKercher'a body np they'll find the marks my nails made in bis neck. I noticed them after I killed him. 1 took the gun away from McKercher and shot him dead, lie was as an infant in my grasp, I was so much stronger. ' "Laying the gun down across McKer cher's body, I sprang to where my moth er lay, and, picking her partly off the floor, asked her if she were alive. Then I knew she was dead, and a horrible feeling came over me. My poor mother had always been kind and good to me, and I thought the world of her. " I was never so happy as when I had my fiddle playing her a tune, it always pleased her so." The Oregonian says: "The Foxbovs, who are in the Albany jail for burglar izing a store at Urawfordsviue, are old neighbors of Montgomery. They think he is innocent, and sav that his story. since he seemed to fully realize his po sition, bas been exactly the same. The Fox boys say, too, that they know of a difficulty that the older Montgom ery once-had witb McKercher at a school meeting, add that they believe the shoot ing grew out ot utis. "There is undoubtedly a changed feel ing at Albany and in the ..country adja cent to the scene of the tragedy. Tne boy now has many sympathizers. His story about McKercher killing bis par ents -s generally discredited, but there are a good many who are inclined to be lieve it. . -j v "MontgonTerV has many sympathizers because of hia being deserted by every one in his hour of need, and it ia gener ally believed that his execution could be postponed if any effort- ere made in this direction." - Montgomery has few ympathixera be cirVe people believe he-killed hia parents as well as McKercher,"nd if be did be is not entitled to any. The interview indicates that the Ore gonian reporter believes Montgomery in nocent. If bis story litrue be is a hero for certain, and there can be no doubt would have at once told tbe UWstate of affairs instead of taking the' course be did. D. C.

Fuller, charged with sending obscene matter through the mails, was argued before Jude Bellinger yesterday bv Mr. M. L. Pipee and Mr. G. W. Wright, of Albany,- for the defendant, and United States Attorney Murphy, for the government. The demurrer has nothing to do with the merits of tbe case. It is an effort to have tbe indictment dis missed, and the defendant, perhaps, dis charged, upon what seems to be a tech -n:cality. The trouble with the indictment ap pears to have arisen from tbe nse of en ve lopes which may be construed as not being a part of letter, although they bear tbe addrees and inclose tbe letter, ob scene or otherwise. Tbe principal point made by tbe pros ecution as gathered from Mr. Murphy's argument, was that the indictment charged that an envelope was mailed con taining an obscene communication, hifh couM not be quoted, as it was so very vile that it would be offensive, to the court. It was claimed tLat the mailing of an envelope contaiuing vile matter d.;d not satistactortlv show that a crime had been committed. Mr. Murphy maintained that there was no difference between charting that "an envelope containing an obscene letter was mailed" and charging that "an ob scene letter was mailed, contained in an envelope." j The hne points ol the in involved in in the demurer are too olecure for any but tbe subtle mind of a lawyer to readily comprehend. Even 'he court could not see through them at once, and took the matter under advisement. ! Tbe reverend defendant was present in an immaculate white necktie during tbe argument, and closely watched l be judge to ree what impression the points pre sented by counsel made upon him. A Senseless Criticism. The only "lack; of common aense'and tbe only sentimentality over Loyd Mont gomery has been by the reporter of the Oregonian sent up here to interview him, by a woman in Turner and the Fox brothers in jail with him.

In view of this fact, the editorial in tbe Oreconian today is perfectly ridicu lous. Tbe editor was simply talking through bis bat and the wheels rattled frightfully. The only effort being made for him bas been by tbe Oregonian itself. There needs to he barrotny there be tween the editorial and reportorial de partment. Probate Record.

During this same period he studied medinine, and upon his subsequent return to Virginia. completed these studies with Dr. J. S. liayneot Lunenburg Co., Va. At the beginning ol tbe war he was commis sioned as a druggist by the Confederate government, and was in charge of a dis the war Dr. Moats engaged in the drug business) at Chatham, Va., bnt declining health forced him to give np the busi ness and also desist from following any decoration for four years. He then re turned to Arkansas and again eneaeed in teaching, becoming principsd at Dover college, at uuver, Arkansas until 1875, at which time he came to Oreg-ni. Dur ing the seven years following he taught school in this state, and after that time engaged in general merchandising at his present location, establishing a depart ment of drugs and medicines, which he continues. Keterring to tbe pharma ceutical experience ot Dr. Mojes, we might add that daring his residence in Arkansas he served the necessary four years in tbe labratoryand behind the prescription ease.

Tbe Post says: There was a meetintr veeterdav at the office ot the Gold Mountain and Dry Gulch Mining Company of tbe stockhold ers of that company for the purpose of confirming tbe sale of tbe property to the London syndicate operating at Cluartxville, Linn county, which several months ago bought Red Bull and White Bull mining properties, and is. in fact. fast absorbing all the pro5 table mine of the Santiam. The Gold Mountain and Dry Gulch Gold and Silver Mining Co. was organised about seven years ago, the incorporators being K. u. Cannon, K, H Miller, A.W. Mcpherson, Ed. II. Fleming and F. Ernest Austin. Tbe mininar Dronertv owned by the consisted oi two placer mines, the Gold Mountain and Dry Gulch. A Kood deal of money was tank im- mediaeir after tbe orcanization ol tbe company by extravagant expenditure and general mismanagement. Tbe monev that sbonld bave been spent in actual development work was spent in speculative movements, and before long all the spare cash of the incorporators was jrone and the company bad nothing; for it. The company comprised no prac tical mining men among its members, and very soon Inet conbdence in tbe mines and allowed them to lie undevel oped, although it bas always been con tended nr practical mining men that tne mince are good placers, containing sold quite sufficient to pay for the working if worked by tne hydraulic process. At the meeting yesterday tbe London syn dicate was represented by J. N. Dolph, their attorney. The sale was finally consummated, transferring both mines to the syndicate for the consideration of ao.uw. The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently performed a great deed of charity, al- thong n it was not designed as a cnarity, being nothing more nor less than an ad vertising scheme. It however resulted in greet poof just tbe same. They gave away 1,000 bottles of their digestive Cor dial to those coffering from stomach de ramremente. It was so effective in curing those wbo used the remedy that tbey were loud in their praises ot it and in consequence a large demand for the cordial was at once created.
