The United Brethern church I just completed at Sher wood thia county will be dedicated next Sunday. Thai November term of circuit court for Washington county convened on Monday with Judge McBride on the .bench. The docket is a long one, but much of the buai- neia is in the chancery court. The trial jury was excused till next Monday. A farmer's institute will be held in Hills boro commencing on Wednesday evening, December 13, and continuing till the follow ing Saturday. The force from the agricultural colle&e'wilUbe on hand as required by law , to assist in the successful conduct of the meeting. At that time the matter of putting an exhibit at ..the mid-winter fair will be discussed. A very heavy rain storm vhited this county last night and the small streams are . booming. DESERTED AND HARRIED AGAIN". In Detroit, Michigan, ,William A. Baker wooed and won a handsome miss whom on the 5th of March, 1885, he led to the altar. At this time Baker was a teamster and his wife was an artist. Her knowledge of por traiture she imparted to her hnsband, and in time he became an expert with the came ra. Some three or more years ago Baker moved from Michigan to Washington, set tling near Tacoma. About three years ago he bought anoutfit and with his wife and child, a little tot of about three years, went on the road, working from the Columbia river north and east as far as Spokane. August 1891, found the tent near Vancou ver, Wash., where the child was taken ' with the whooping cough. The sick one in terfered with business and something had to be done. Baker was cross and perhaps his mood reacted upon Mrs. Baker, at any rate they had a bit of a quarrel, when it was agreed that he should take the team and strike out, while the mother would take the child and go to Orting, near Tacoma. A correspondence was kept up and early this year Baker wrote from Corvallis that he was doing well and wanted his family with him and asked his wife to sell her house hold goods and ship to Corvallis what could , not readily be disposed of. This she did, but received no remittance or invitation to join him. Several letters passed till finally an ultimatum was sent: Come after her, send for her or return her effects, consisting ' of cameras, sewing machine, bed and bed-1 ' ding. To this there was no reply and all track was lost of him. It seems as though he drifted to Willamina in Yamhill county, where his tent was pitched for a time. Acci dentally Mrs. Baker this fall heard that he was there and wiote to him, also the postmas ter, who answered that he was gone, but that he was married and advised her if she was his wife to look after him. In the meantime through the wholesale house in Portland she learned his true address which at that time was Tigardville, thia county, Mr. Tigard, the postmaster, was addressed and DUt in possession of some historical facta, which necessitated a call from the sheriff. Baker was arrested at Greenville thia county and brought before Esquire Mc Onillan where he was met by Mrs. Nellie M. , Baker and his six-year-old child. Baker on the 9th day of October wedded Mias Dora Varney, daughter of He v. Mr, Varney of Sherwood, on a license issued by the clerk of Multnomah county. These facts he admits and they are matters of mmhI m well. Hia excuse is that he thoucht his first wife had sued for and ob tained a divorce, but he has been in con stant correspondence with her till within few months and knew better. He was indicted and arraigned and, pleading guilty, . the court sentenced him to the penitentiary for a term of two years. He is now about 48 years old and ought to know better. Mr. Nellie Baker brings testimonials with bar from Orting of the very highest charac- - er. She says what she now wants is her photographic outfit and what other property that belongs to her. She expresses great sorrow for Dora Varley who is said to be at Greenville in a tent, sick and among strangers. McMinn vtllx, Nov. 29 The water in the Yamhill river is now at a good boating stage and the steamer Toledo is making Tegular tri-weekly trips. Sunday she loaded about twenty tons of wheat and consider able other merchandise. It seems that In dependence and McMinnville would be good points for the Oregon Pacific steamers to maka, especially when it is possible for them to cany San Francisco freight to the doors '( the merchants. . The road has the steam era and the advantage of shipping freight by their line could thus be brought direutly to the merchants of this city, Independence and Hillsboro, for freight for the latter place could be shipped from this city, giv ing the merchants the benefit of the Oregon Pacific rate, hampered by a short haul over the Southern Pacific of but twenty-five miles. The McMinnville flouring mills have re sumed operations and are producing unlim ited quantities of that world's fair premium flour. The counties of the West Side should feel proud of the showing made by them at the fair. The West Side is the best portion of the state and with a proper ef fort wonders in the way of immigration can be accomplished next year. The large farms can be cur up and what is uow waste land can be made to blossom like the rose. It will take an united effort.however, to ac complish results. The newspapers can be counted upon to do their share of this labor, Last Monday the right arm of Duncan Koaa, a prominent farmer living near thia city, was amputated just below the shoul der. Some time ago the fingers of the right hand were caught in the gear of a chopping mill and terribly torn. Blood poisoning set in and because ot it the arm was amputated. He is now in a bad con anion and the chances of recovery are small, but being a man of powerful physique he will no doubt pull through. Word arrives from the coast that ducks and geese are there in thousands and that hunters are having lots of sport. Five large elk were killed on Cape Lookout this fall, Loads of fruit trees pass through the city every day, it now being the proper time for planting. The prune and the apple seem te have the advantage in numbers, but quite a number of cherry, peach and pear trees are being planted. It will not be long before the West Side counties will be able to sup ply the Oregon demand and have a surplus for shipment to the east. The meeting of the West Side Press Club in this city on Friday and Saturday of last week has demonstrated more than anything elae could the benefits to be derived from co-operation on the part fof the four West Side counties. Already seyeral of our citi zens have schemes for advancing the com mon interests. Let the boards of trade of the West Side cities confer, unite and speed the good work. The prizes won at the world's fair by our citizens makes them desirous of winning more wreaths of laurel at the midwinter fair and a meeting has been called to discuss the proper methods by .which results can be obtained. The meeting is to be held in the court house on Friday, December 8th, t 11 o clock a. m. A representation from each of the four west side counties is desired, as it is thought that by the pooling of inter ests more can be accomplished. Geo. My era, who made such a success for Oregon at the big show, and Dr. Guy Lewis will be here, if possible, to address the meeting and setting forth the plans formulated by the midwinter fair association. Every far mer and business man in Benton, Polk, 'Yamhill and Washington counties should attend this meeting, if possible. Its ob ject is grand, and as good results were oh tained by making an exhibit at Chicago, the same will follow from an exhibit, at San Francisco. The west side counties should not be behind in these matters as they will, because ef their isolation, have to accom plish more to advertise their resources than will the east side counties. No overland railway helps us out. We mrst depend upon ourselves. The officers elected by Occidental lodge, No. 30, I. O. O. F., on Saturday night last are as follows: J. O. Rogers, N. G.; J. B. Fletcher, V. G.; Wm. Galloway, rec sec; J. in. Brooks, financial sec.; Elsia Wright, treasurer: All men's suits and overcoats at cost at miners ciounng store. AN OPEN SECRET. The marvelous success of Hood's Sarsapa rillahas attracted wondering attention from all directions. Even those familiar with the medicine buisiness have been amazed at the rise of Hood's Sarsaparilla from an obscure be ginning and its steady advance to the first place among the medicines of America. Men are asking, what is the secret of this success? Well, there is a secret, but an open one. It is simply this: Hood's Sarsaparilla-posesses absolute merit. ' It does accomplish the most remarkable cures of scrofula, salt rheum and all blood diseases; it does relieve the misery of dyspep sia ane indigestion; it does cure sick headache create an appetite and overcome that tired feeling; it does cure catarrh, rheumatism. and malaria. V We anticipate a chanee in hnsinoss January i, '94. All men's suits and over coats strictly at cost- for cash only at headquarters for THE OREGON PACIFIC. The Latest Order of the Court Concerning Its Man agement. Those persons who were in the circuit court last Wednesday evening were treated to somewhat of an expose of the inside of the receivership of the O. P. railway peti tion from W. H. Burns, and others of the creditors and employes of both the late and present receivers was read. From this doc ument it appears that there is a large ac cumulation of debt for both labor and ma terial coins on. To outsiders, who know little of the affairs of the road beyond general impression that Receiver Hadley claims that he had from the earliest time of his .appointment last March been able to make a profit where his predecessor had made a bigjoss, it was somewhat of a shock to hear of a debt for material only of up, wards of $30,000,besides about three months wages of the men unpaid, which would be about $25,000 more, and - an indefinite sum for expenses. The petition represented upwards of $19, 000 of these debts. Quite a long discussion followed in reference- to one part of . the prayer of the petition for receiver's certiti cates, in case of the ability of the receiver, Hadley, to make prompt payment of the indebtedness. The judge expressed his anxiety to do anything to make the men who had supplied either material or labor safe, to the best of his ability, and in the end an order was made on Saturday morn iug, which gave the petitfoners the choice to take the certificates or not, as they might think best for their interest. But the order was direct for payment by Re ceiver Hadley of these claims within ten days from that date. The material part of the order was as follows: Now the petitioners appearing by their at torney, Wallis Nash, the plaintiff herein by its attorney, J. R. Bryson, the said Receiver E. W. Hadley by his attorney U. a. treat, and the defendant accompanied by their at torney, L. Flynn, having been duly, served witn a copy or sucn petition ana 01 me oraer fixing ana directing the time for hearing the same, and having accepted service ana waived all objections. Now, after arguments of counsel 'and full consideration by the court or the said pe tition, and of the supplementary petition of R. G. Pierce, another or said petitioners. which was by order of the court heard at the same time, it is oraerea, mat as to so much of the indebtedness shown in the schedule the said petition as is admitted on the hooka of the said receivership, or is ad justed between the said creditors and the said .Keceiver Hi. w. xiaaiey wiuin ien days from the time of making this order, payment to be made to the said creditors by the said Receiver E. W. Hadley. within such period of ten days, and, specially, that the said Receiver E. W. Hadley shall apply towards such payment. As far as the em ployesof the former receiver, 1. Jfi. tiogg, are concerned, such gums as were received by the said Receiver E. W. Hadley since the date of his appointment from the receipts and earnings of the defendant's company during the months of April, may, June ana July, 1893, in excess of the then, current operating expenses under his said administration, such payment, so far as the same may go, being made for the wages of U employes and laborers which had accrued within the six mnnha nrior to the appointment of the said E. W. Hadlev as receiver. And, that as to on much nt the said claims as shall not be ad' justed between the said creditors and the said receiver wiinin ten aays itum mo uuw ui mitinn this ordr that the same shall be re ferred to such reteree as may yu appommu. to pass the accounts of the said receivers, T.

And, it is further ordered, that as to so much of the a indoKtBrlnpHa as shall within the said perfod of ten days from this date be admitted on the books of the said receivership and Bball not have been paid by the said Receiver W. W. TTbH v: that the said .Receiver yy . Hadley shall issue to and in favor of such of tne saia creuiwre w bui within the said period 0 ten days from this date a receiver's certificate bearing interest from this date of issue at the rate of eight per cent per annum, until paid, tor the total amount of each of said claims then unpaid, uTt.ifirntAa to rank eauallv with all re ceiver's certificates heretofore issued by and under the authority or wis court Dy euner 01 the said receivers, and to Depayaoiepro rata, nrith nil rtf aimh certificates heretofore legally issued by the said receivers or either of them out of the proceeds of the sale of the said railroads and other properties of the defend ant corporations in priority to the bonded in debtedness of the defendant companies, and to be payable at least within one year from the date of issue. . . .

Dear Editor: The first, full-fledged court of our new county has been running since last Monday, and the populists are in a flutter of excitement. A nout thirty good and lawful men were summoned from the body of our people to act as jurors, and after a hard shaking up from the bottom of the box a grand jury came forth, made up from five populists, , one lone democrat and aMc Kinley republican. No more august body than this same grand jury was ever seen on the west side of the mountains you were at once reminded of the Druids of old Eng land and the mound-builders of New Mex ico. After the oath was administered the court instructed the grand jury in the usual manner and it at oncu proceeded to grind, and all the spectators looked pale no man felt safe. Shortly after they retired, noisy scenes were rumored from the jury room, which was up next the roof, in the gable end the of court house. "Vox Populi Vox Dei, sub-treasury 2 per cent, bonds," etc., ad infinitum, were the mystic words that echoed forth from their deliberations. The i grand jury had only been in session about ' an hour, when the district attorney discov ered a determined effort on the part of Popu list Rader and a few other compatriots to indict the late grand jury of Benton for a failure of duty in the Hamilton, Job & Co. bank transaction. Rader insisted that all public crimes were within the jury's hori zon; that its jurisdiction was as extensive as the crimes with which it was to grapple; that the crime of the age was the repeal of the Sherman act, and that Czar Cleveland should be impeached; what Lincoln county needed was silver and credits ;that the gov ernment should issue without delay to the poor and needy, money without security, based upon 2 per cent, bonds;' that just here the district attorney, with uplifted hands, interposed: "Gentlemen, I am your legal advisor, and the judge so , instructed you your jurisdiction extends to the ocean on the west and the summit of the mountains on the east the Benton county grand jury is on the other side of the mountains; you cannot reach it; the court will not entertain or receive an indictment against the grand jury of Benton." Bader was winged for a moment, but rallied at once and said! We will remain in session after the court leaves here, and bring all these monopolists and their adherents to the bar of public justice. We are here to do our duty and no court can stay our hands." It was announced in last week's Toledo Loader, in black letter, that the Lincoln county grand jury would indict the Job boys, and so it did. The Lender man spoke by the cards and coppered on a straight. Midnight meetings have been held by the populistic brethern, and it was resolved that they would do and die for their brother, Treasurer Denlinger; and that the money by him deposited in the branch bank of Ham ilton, Job & Co. should be forthcoming if they had to indict every creation of that bank. Denlinger, in a broken voice, stated that he had lived his three-score years-and ten, and a few more days made little differ ence to him; that he would have that good money and justice done him if he had to take it with his own hands. The situation was desperate, and expenses to Lincoln county cut no figure. The thunder bolts forged at the night meetings took form fn' the shape of an indictment against Z. Job, B, R. Job and M. M. Davis for larceny of public money. The same mystic power that pre cipitated this indictment put two leaden balls through the skiff of some Chinamen ft ftw years since for the taking of three plums from Treasurer -Denlinger. The XJyclops are now in the saddle, and dead after the game, so look out fur breakers. The sale of the railroad now in the hands of the court, and its advertisement for sale, on Decefnber 15th, in the Leader, was only intended as a little diversion and with no thought on the part of the sheriff of selling same no contempt of court intended. It was simply a bad conception to encourage immigration to Lincoln county, and show to the world the prospective resources of the new county when put into money shape. It was a bold conception a ten-strike and will avoid the necessity of an immigration bureau. The new county i3, full of states men greatness is around and about you everywhere. ColonelKelsay is- the legal adviser and is blazing out the road grandly for Lincoln county's future, Another bold conception is the annuities to be received by the Siletz Indians, after the allotments of landsjby the government.

One juror was excused from further attend ance on court on account of lack of clothing and to avoid exposing his person, but such excuses as this will be obviated as soon as the O. P. taxes reach the treasury. The case of Copeland and Gaither vs. the Blake House resulted In a verdict in fovor of the plaintiffs in the sum of $102. The case of Stevens vs. McNeal resulted in a hung jury. The court excused the jury from further attendance Wednesday evening. There will be an adjourned court held some time in the near future, at which time it is expected the Jobs and M. M. Davis will be tried by their peers, in Lincoln county. The docket showed that three or four parties desired the matrimonial knot severed by the divorce hatchet. Many injunctions have been granted, among others is one in ftvor of Wm. M. Hoag restraining the sheriff from selling cer tain lands, the taxes on which he claims to have paid to the sheriff of Benton. This will probably be made a test case, as many other persons have paid the taxes of 1892 to the sheriff of Benton county and whose land is now advertised in the delinquent list for Lincoln. AM things considered, then? is no more in viting fieH for long and interesting litiga tion in the northwest than in the new county of Lincoln. Mukius. LOOK A T TH" SIZS of tho or dinary pill.
